Lady Gaga wrapped her Mayhem Ball tour at New York City's Madison Square Garden on April 13 before largely retreating from the public eye. Now, a new report is shedding light on what was happening behind the scenes.
Rob Shuter reported in his Naughty But Nice Substack on Saturday, September 12, that the 40-year-old singer quietly pulled back from public life while preparing for one of the biggest changes of her life: becoming a mother.
"People close to her felt completely blindsided," a source told Shuter. "Not because they were upset, but because she managed to keep something this big hidden for so long. In Hollywood, that's almost impossible."
As In Touch previously reported, Gaga welcomed her first child with fiancé Michael Polansky. The couple, who began dating in 2019 and became engaged in 2024, have not confirmed their baby's name or date of birth.

Savannah Guthrie celebrated Lady Gaga's entry into motherhood by looking back at a memorable exchange the pop star shared with her years ago.
During Monday's episode of Today, the host reacted to the announcement that Gaga and her fiancé, Michael Polansky, have welcomed their first baby. Guthrie, a mother of two with husband Mike Feldman, brought up a unique note of encouragement the "Mother Monster" offered when Guthrie was pregnant with her eldest child, Vale.
"When I was pregnant with Vale and we didn't find out if it was a boy or a girl, Lady Gaga came on and she said, 'I think you're having a girl,' " Guthrie said, referring to the 2014 interview "And I said, 'Really? How do you know?' And she said, 'She told me.' Isn't that cute?"
Jenna Bush Hager, Vale's godmother, was stunned by the admission
"What! Vale and Lady Gaga had a connection?!" she said with excitement.

Princess Diana's iconic "revenge dress" is heading back to auction. Meghan Markle is reportedly interested in buying it, but she could face some serious competition. A source claims Kim Kardashian is among several high-profile names determined to own the famous gown. With its royal history and emotional significance, the upcoming sale could become a closely watched battle.
Meghan Markle is reportedly hoping to get her hands on one of Princess Diana's most famous looks. The black Christina Stambolian dress is set to return to the auction block in December. Sotheby's expects it could sell for up to £220,000 (approxiamately $2,96,000).
The dress has a story almost as famous as its design. Diana wore it to a 1994 fundraising gala, on the same night then-Prince Charles allegedly admitted to infidelity. She stepped out in the daring off-the-shoulder number instead of following the more restrained royal style expected of her. The look soon earned its now-famous "revenge dress" nickname.
Now, according to New Idea, Meghan is supposedly considering a bid. However, she may have to beat some serious competition to take it home. A source claimed that Kim Kardashian is "determined to own this dress." The insider also named Salma Hayek and Lady Gaga as potential contenders. Several collectors from Qatar and Saudi Arabia are allegedly interested, too.
With that kind of competition, the final price could climb quickly. The source claimed Prince Harry and Meghan's budget could become "a huge problem" when the bidding begins. And apparently, the couple may not even agree on whether the dress should be theirs.

Lady Gaga spent years saying motherhood was the role she wanted most. She has now become a parent without making a public announcement.
The 40-year-old singer and her fiancé, Michael Polansky, have welcomed their first child together, according to TMZ. The news emerged after Gaga and Polansky were photographed in Northern California with a newborn.
No name, **** or exact date of birth has been made public. Gaga and Polansky also have not shared their own announcement about becoming parents, and representatives for the singer did not comment when contacted by reporters.
Keeping the milestone private follows a pattern for the couple. Polansky proposed in April 2024, but the engagement remained out of public view until Gaga introduced him as her fiancé during the Paris Olympics several months later.
Page Six obtained photographs of Gaga and Polansky with the baby during an outing in Northern California. Gaga carried the infant against her chest while Polansky walked beside her.

The 2026 Venice Film Festival runs from September 2 to September 12, 2026, with A-listers like Kendall Jenner and Robert Pattinson in attendance.
Stars traditionally hit the red carpet in couture gowns, statement-making pieces, and custom tuxedos.
InStyle looks back at the festival's best fashion moments, dating all the way back to 1958.
The 83rd Venice International Film Festival is officially underway. Film junkie or not, you can't deny that Hollywood's finest arrive in Italy ready to bring their best-dressed game. After all, when you're surrounded by your peers competing for some of the industry's highest honors, why wouldn't you dress the part? C'mon. First held in August 1932, the Venice Film Festival has long been one of the industry's most glamorous events, welcoming everyone from Jane Fonda to Lady Gaga over the decades. I'd argue the red carpet is a spectacle all its own, with our favorite fashion houses playing a starring role.
From the water-taxi arrivals to the actual carpet, celebrities often use Venice to offer a glimpse at fashion's next era, stepping out in fresh-of-the-runway Chanel, Dior, Versace, and more. Robert Pattinson, for instance, pulled up in Dior 2027, while Timothée Chalamet famously tested the waters in a daring backless ensemble. Or Zendaya in that Dune-coded Balmain look in 2021? And of course, we have to pay our respects to the style icons who came before them—ahem Jane Birkin—who brough their signature effortless staples to the Lido.

True entertainers can charm the pants off even the toughest of critics. Although anyone with good Wi-Fi and a clean iPhone lens can go viral, it takes hard work, genuine talent, a whole lot of perseverance, and, of course, innate magnetism to cut through the algorithm and catch the attention of industry gatekeepers and fickle fans alike. And all 31 honorees selected for our 2026 Breakthrough List have done just that.

Actor-writer-director Eva Victor, for instance, went from posting (respectfully) goofy pandemic-era TikTok sketches to darling of last year's Sundance Film Festival with her debut feature Sorry, Baby; now, she calls Pedro Pascal and Olivia Wilde co-stars. For FLO, "Leak It" has established the British trio as one of music's most sizzling R&B acts, while campy duo Haute & Freddy's synthy whimsy and thoughtful lyricism earned them the stamp of approval from a certified pop icon: Lady Gaga. After cutting his teeth with one supporting role after the next, The Shards standout Igby Rigney proves he has what it takes to be one of TV's leading men. Meanwhile, Mexican actor Diego Calva has one Golden Globe nomination to his name, and we predict another coming his way for his tender performance in Jordan Firstman's already-buzzy Club Kid.

Whether they're topping charts with tomorrow's Grammy-winning earworms, delighting audiences in mega-viral social media series, or breathing new life into beloved franchises like Legally Blonde and Baywatch, these artists will remain at the top of our feeds, queues, and playlists for years. Below, meet this year's breakthroughs.

Calling Jon Hamm, Olivia Wilde, and Amanda Peete co-stars is no small matter, but that's reality for Aimee Carrero, a scene-stealer in Apple TV+'s Emmy-nominated Your Friends and Neighbors. A featured player in dozens of IMDb credits thus far, the Dominican-American actress from Miami has a starring role in the comedy One Attempt Remaining (with Jennifer Garner, Kate McKinnon, John Cena, no less) coming down the pike. As for who Carrero thinks will have a banner year? Inde Navarrette: "I love seeing a young Latina woman out there doing her thing."

What was your first job?
Working in a furniture store—West Elm. A celebrity who will remain unnamed came in and ordered a ton of sh*t. It was gonna be a huge commission for me. I went to ring her up, and the card declined. She says, "I'll be back tomorrow." Never came back.

Who should play you in your biopic?
Olivia Rodrigo. You want someone younger and more beautiful than you to do it.

What's the most underrated movie, TV show, song, or album of all time?
Well, it wasn't underrated at the time, but I do think this new generation needs to get into The X Files. Gillian Anderson was my first celebrity crush. There's a new one coming out—Ryan Coogler's—it's gonna be amazing, I'm sure.

Some celebrities are just as passionate about cars as they are about their careers. From rare vintage models to sleek modern classics, these stars have built impressive collections that often reflect their personal taste and years of dedication to the hobby. Musicians, actors, comedians and TV personalities have all spent time tracking down special vehicles and adding them to their garages. Here are the famous car enthusiasts whose collections may surprise you.

Lady Gaga is celebrated for her boundary-pushing artistry, but her garage showcases a collection of classic American muscle that's just as bold. Her collection has included a 1965 Lincoln Continental Convertible, a 1969 Chevrolet Nova SS and a 1967 Ford Bronco, all emblematic of her flair for reinvention. Rather than chasing modern supercars, the singer has favored practical, road-worthy classics like her first-generation Mustang and Chevrolet El Camino, according to HotCars.

Tim Allen's love affair with cars runs deep, mirrored in his selection of muscle cars and American classics. Whether hosting legendary sitcoms or working in his private garage, Allen curates an eclectic lineup of automotive icons, including a rare Ford RS200 rally special and a Shelby Cobra alongside vintage and modern Mustang GT350s, per ClassicCars Journal.

Only one victor didn't impress DanaWhite and the Ultimate Fighting Championship matchmakers on Week 1 ofDana White's Contender Series 2026.
JosephKropschot (9-3) opened the action in a middleweight outingagainst JonathanKunneman (10-1). Kropschot dislocated Kunneman's elbow with anarmbar in the final seconds of the fight. He earned a unanimousdecision win after his opponent refused to tap. Kropschot's intentto finish was enough for White to give him a UFC contract.

"When he got that armbar, I said, 'I'm gonna give him a shot.' 31years old, he went for the finish. I'm always looking for guys tofinish," White said. "That fight should have been finished… Joseph,you went for it and you swayed me and changed my mind.Congratulations."

TomPagliarulo (11-2) was the second fighter to earn a contract onWeek 1. The featherweight prospect finished AnaniasMulumba (10-4) with vicious ground-and-pound in the finalseconds of the fight.

"Thomas, you were in a dog fight; turned it on in the third round,and finished a really tough kid," White said. "Congratulations,you're in."

Former Cage Fury Fighting Championships flyweight champion Bilal Hasan(9-0) was a -5000 favorite going into his matchup against MridulSaikia (9-2). Hassan absolutely justified the odds bydispatching Saikia in 45 seconds to earn his UFC contract. Whitecan't wait for Hasan's first UFC bout.

"This is an absolute no-brainer. Even with the ton of hype,absolutely lived up to it," the UFC CEO said. "When you're thebiggest favorite in the history of the Contender Series, 10 years.That's how you treat somebody, and you absolutely did. I'm excitedto see your future. I'm really pumped for your first fight in theUFC."

AbeAlsaghir (9-0) earned a split decision win in a lightweighttilt against FabrizioEscarrega (9-2). While both fighters went toe-to-toe, Whitebelieves neither fighter stood out to earn a contract. The UFC headhoncho also disagreed with the judges' scorecards on this one.

"I actually thought this was a dog fight between two tough guyswith great records," White recalled. "And the third round was whereI was looking to see who was going to be my guy, and it neverhappened. And I don't agree with the judges. I don't think you wonthat fight. I think the judges absolutely blew that decision. And Ijust didn't see anything that I was looking for."

AnthonyWint (7-0) earned the final contract of the night with afirst-round stoppage win over MatthewAdams (6-3). The heavyweight powerhouse took hardly over 30seconds to reverse a takedown and rain brutal ground-and-pound tosecure the stoppage.

"Anthony, you're a f*cking tank, my friend… Holy sh*t!" White said."I didn't get to see much, but what I got to see was pretty nasty.And I have a long history with your coach, who has nothing but goodthings to say about you. Welcome to the UFC."

A fashion label called Fecal Matter is having a moment.
Matières Fécales — literally French for "fecal matter" — has gone from an intentionally provocative outsider project to dressing some of the world's biggest celebrities, including Zendaya, Lady Gaga, Demi Moore and Kylie Jenner.
And yes, the name is intentional.
Canadian designers Hannah Rose Dalton and Steven Raj Bhaskaran founded the label after meeting as fashion students in Montreal. Frustrated with an industry they viewed as wasteful, exclusionary and obsessed with consumption, the pair wanted a name that reflected their criticism of it.
They landed on Matières Fécales — not the more familiar French "merde," or "caca," but the considerably more clinical term for fecal matter.

Kim Kardashian is hesitant about going ahead with her relationship with Lewis Hamilton.
