Miscarriage news

Alec Baldwin's wife, Hilaria Baldwin, announced on Nov. 11 that she'd suffered a miscarriage and lost their baby, a girl. It was her second miscarriage this year. "We are very sad to share that today we learned that our baby passed away at 4 months," the mom of four said on Instagram, adding that she's devastated. "Even though we are not OK right now, we will be." Hilaria previously shared details of her April miscarriage on social media too. "I don't know what else to say… I'm still in shock and don't have this all quite clear," she said this week.

Sexy!

Sexiness is John Legend… at least according to People magazine. The mag dubbed the singing star its 2019 Sexiest Man Alive on Nov. 12. "I was excited, but I was a little scared at the same time because it's a lot of pressure," the "The Voice" coach told the mag, which gives the out the honor annually. "Everyone's going to be picking me apart to see if I'm sexy enough to hold this title. I'm [also] following Idris Elba, which is not fair and is not nice to me!" John's wife, Chrissy Teigen, never one to hold back her opinions, tweeted, "I cannot WAIT for people to get mad about John being the sexiest man alive. It's my new Starbucks holiday cup." A few hours later she tweeted, "The sexiest man alive just made me a ham sandwich."

Shots fired

Taylor Swift's beef with music execs Scooter Braun and Scott Borchetta escalated on Nov. 14 when the pop queen accused them of blocking her from performing her own songs at the 2019 American Music Awards. The men control Taylor's back catalog following Scooter's purchase of Big Machine Label Group, of which Scott is CEO. In a lengthy post on her social media pages, Taylor said the men "said that I'm not allowed to perform my old songs on television because they claim that would be re-recording my music before I'm allowed to next year." She added that a Netflix documentary on her last few years is in the works and that she can't use her old music in that either. "Right now my performance at the AMA's, the Netflix documentary and any other recorded events I am planning to play until November of 2020 are a question mark," she said. However, Scooter and Scott insist Taylor's claims are full of "false information." "At no point did we say Taylor could not perform on the AMAs or block her Netflix special. In fact, we do not have the right to keep her from performing live anywhere," the music company wrote in a Nov. 15 statement. "Since Taylor's decision to leave Big Machine last fall, we have continued to honor all of her requests to license her catalog to third parties as she promotes her current record in which we do not financially participate."

Break time

Pink is going to fade to black for the next year. The pop star said she's taking a break from music in 2020. "We did two and a half years of [music], and [my daughter] Willow's back in school now. [My son] Jameson's going to start preschool soon. It's kind of the year of the family," she told "Entertainment Tonight" at the CMA Awards on Nov. 13. "And [my husband] Carey [Hart] has a lot going on as well. He's super-supportive, he follows me around the world and now it's his turn." She echoed her sentiments to People magazine while speaking about recently wrapping her two-year "Beautiful Trauma" tour. "It's time to do something else for a minute," she said.

Big return

Kevin Hart made his first official Hollywood appearance on Nov. 10 following his terrible September car accident. The actor took the stage at the People's Choice Awards to accept the trophy for favorite comedy act. Looking healthy, Kevin said, "First and foremost, I thank God, because I definitely don't have to be here. Being that I am, that makes me appreciate life even more. It makes me appreciate the things that really matter. Family. I want to thank my wife, my kids. They really stepped up to the plate for me." He also thanked his fans for helping him heal. "You have no idea the effect that you have on us as entertainers," he said. "Your energy, your support, it means the world and I want to thank you guys for being there for me in my difficult time." Kevin suffered three spinal fractures in the Sept. 1 car accident in Los Angeles. He told TMZ on Nov. 12 that he doesn't plan on working until the New Year as he's choosing to focus on his health and rehabilitation. His friends from the car accident are also in the process of recovering.

Boo!

Drake is one of the biggest artists on the planet, but he was shockingly persona non grata at a Los Angeles music festival on Nov. 10. How bad was it? He was booed off stage! Drake was the surprise guest at Tyler, the Creator's Camp Flog Gnaw Carnival at Dodger Stadium. However, it seems that the majority of guests all wanted and believed that Frank Ocean was the surprise guest. Drake could sense that the fans weren't embracing him during his set and asked if they wanted more. The crowd booed, letting him know that his services were no longer needed. Afterward, Drake trolled the fans, writing, "Plot twist… just signed a 10 year residency at Camp Flog Gnaw sorry kids see you EVERY SINGLE YEAR till you are 30." Naturally, he was joking.

"She looked super into him," an eyewitness told Us Weekly of one of their dinner dates on Nov. 12. "She kept reaching out to touch his hands. They were whispering to each other the whole time." Two days earlier, Kaia took in Pete's podcast taping with Triumph the Insult Comic Dog. That night, a different observer told Us Weekly, "Pete and Kaia weren't showing outward PDA and were being low-key. During the show, Pete and Kaia were texting each other." Then came the real confirmation: On Nov. 13, Page Six published photos of Pete and Kaia holding hands at a grocery store in Hillsdale, New York.

"We're reunited," she said during "Today with Hoda & Jenna," referring to Hoda Kotb's maternity leave earlier this year. "We haven't been on the show together but five days! It feels like it's time!"

Secretly married

Surprise! Emmy winner Lena Waithe secretly married longtime love Alana Mayo. "We snuck and did it, you know," she told John Legend when he guest hosted "The Ellen DeGeneres Show" on Nov. 15. "We didn't make any announcements or a big… We went to San Francisco. We went to the courthouse. Got married right in front of [late gay rights activist and politician] Harvey Milk's bust. [It was] her idea, as all good things are. And she was just driving and she saw the courthouse and she said, 'We should get married there.' And I said, 'Cool, I'm down.'" The "Master of None" star called it a "humbling day." While Lena didn't reveal the date of the nuptials, she implied that they were recent.
