On November 8, Taylor Swift once again wowed fans when she was seen in New York City, celebrating at the exclusive club Chez Margaux with friends Zoe Kravitz and Jerrod Carmichael.

The pop star, 34, looked stunning and stylish. She just broke a significant Grammy record by receiving her seventh nomination for Album of the Year, the most for any female artist.

Swift’s gorgeous Vivienne Westwood outfit for the evening featured her distinctive look with a twist: a multicolored dress with vivid blue, purple, yellow, and red stripes.

She splurged a little on this glitzy night out, and the elaborately created corset dress, which retails for an astounding $2,390, showcased her distinct flair and sense of style.

Her sparkling blue eyes gleamed in the dim city lights as she made a striking entry, despite arriving alone and without her boyfriend, Travis Kelce. She accessorized with a strong red lipstick and wore her hair in a darker updo than her typical blonde.

Swift accessorized her ensemble with red heels, a bracelet and necklace that matched, and a stylish blue purse that probably contained her necessities.

The Record-Breaking Eras Tour Takes a Break

Her record-breaking Eras Tour, which is currently in its last leg, took a short break for the evening. She recently enthralled more than 63,000 spectators every night from November 1–3 at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis.

Prior to wrapping up the tour in December, she will play for around 550,000 fans in Toronto’s Rogers Centre from November 14–23.

He is said to have eleven children with the famous billionaire and former richest man in the world. He is said to have recently made a big request to the mothers of his children.

A few days ago, news outlets from other countries said that investor and businessman Elon Musk wants all of his children and their mothers to live together in some way.

The man who owns Tesla and SpaceX has 11 kids from three different women. The New York Times said last week that Musk wants to move his whole family into three mansions in Austin, Texas, that are next to each other.

The singer Claire Boucher, better known as Grimes, who Musk is married to and has three kids with, however, is against his plans. They have been fighting over who gets to keep their kids. People magazine says that Grimes wants an extra mansion, maybe in Los Angeles, so that all of Musk’s ex-partners and their kids can live together, as reported by The Bytes.

Musk’s mother of three known children, Shivon Zilis, is said to have agreed to his plan as well. She is an executive at Neuralink.

She is said to have moved into one of Musk’s three Austin mansions. But it’s still not clear if Musk’s fifth wife, Justine Wilson Musk, will follow suit or if she might like the mansion Grimes has suggested in Los Angeles better.

Musk and Justine also had a son named Nevada, but he died very young. This means that Musk now has 12 children, as far as we know.

But Musk’s views on transgender issues have made his relationship with his daughter Vivian Jenna Wilson (formerly his son Griffin Musk) tense, so it doesn’t look like he will be able to bring the whole family together.

Why does Musk have so many kids?

Musk has said in the past that he thinks falling birth rates are the biggest threat to humanity. And he thinks that having as many kids as possible will “fix the problem.”

The New York Times said that Musk has even offered his own sperm to SpaceX employees and “friends and acquaintances,” such as Nicole Shanahan, who ran for vice president as an independent candidate.

What kind of kids does Elon Musk have

Elon Musk is the CEO of Tesla and the founder of SpaceX. He has at least 12 children from three different relationships.

Musk has six kids with his first wife, Justine Wilson. They met in college and fell in love. He later had three children with musician Grimes, his ex-girlfriend, while they were dating, which got a lot of attention. He just had three more kids with Shivon Zilis, who works as an executive at Neuralink, one of his other businesses.

Alexander Musk in Nevada

They got married in January 2000. Their names were Elon Musk and Justine Wilson. Their first child, a son named Nevada Alexander Musk, was born in 2002. Nevada died too soon by sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) at the age of 10 weeks.

Musk and Wilson used IVF to have another child after losing their first child. Griffin and Vivian, their twins, were born in 2004. They are now 20 years old.

Vivian came out as transgender in 2022. She legally changed her name and stopped being close to Musk. She said she didn’t want to be “related to” her biological father anymore. Later, Musk said he was “tricked into signing” papers for her to change her gender, and he used her deadname and said, “My son Xavier is dead—killed by the woke-mind virus.” This caused a lot of controversy.

Kai, Saxon, and Damian Musk

They had three more children, sons Kai, Saxon, and Damian, who were born through IVF in January 2006. Each of the three is now 18 years old. They were the last children the couple had together before they split up in 2008.

Musk started dating singer Grimes (Claire Elise Boucher) in May 2020. He had been married twice to Westworld actress Talulah Riley and had a short relationship with Amber Heard. In the same month, the couple had their son, X AE A-XII. X, who is now 4 years old, was first named X † A-12, but the name had to be changed because the characters “Æ” and “12” were not allowed in California.

In September 2021, Page Six was the only news source to say that Musk and Grimes were no longer together.

Dark Siderael Musk

Grimes told the public in March 2022 that she and Musk had their first daughter, Exa Dark Sideræl Musk, in December 2021 through a surrogate. She has a brother named X, so people call her Y. She is 2 years old now.

In an interview with Vanity Fair, Grimes called Musk her “boyfriend,” but she also said that their relationship was “fluid.” But she tweeted that they were no longer together hours after the story came out.

Grimes said on social media in March 2023 that her daughter goes by “Y,” “Why?” or even “?” but that the government won’t officially recognize the sound.

Court documents that Business Insider got in July 2022 show that Musk secretly had twins with Neuralink executive Shivon Zilis in November 2021. Their names, Strider and Azure, were made public in September 2023. They are now 2 years old.

An Austin, Texas judge agreed with Musk and Zilis’s request that the twins should have their father’s last name and part of their mother’s last name in their middle names.

Yet despite his fame, he’s long preferred a life outside Hollywood’s constant spotlight. Now, he’s taking an even bigger step — leaving America altogether. So what’s behind this surprising move?

Elon Musk is still haunted by his transgender son and believes his son was influenced by provocative information on social media.

Tesla CEO says his son changed due to “the awakening virus” and after taking puberty blockers. He admits he seems to have lost his son.

Elon Musk believes his son is influenced by inflammatory information on social media.

Elon Musk believes his son is influenced by inflammatory information on social media.

In recent posts, Elon Musk has frequently used the phrase “woke virus” and emphasized that this has directly affected his child’s cognition. In 2022, Xavier Alexander Musk, Elon Musk’s son, decided to change his gender when he asked the court to change his gender from male to female, and registered the new name Vivian Jenna Wilson.

“The awakening virus involves sharing a distorted political identity, amplifying racism and sexism. It really divides people, makes them hate society and hate themselves,” said Elon Musk.
The conversation with DW on July 22 was the latest time the Tesla CEO commented on what he called the “awakening virus.” In addition, in the interview, Musk also criticized the use of puberty blockers, saying they act like sterilization.

Puberty blockers are used to limit growth during puberty. They block the production of estrogen

and testosterone, the hormones that cause the body to naturally go through the changes
associated with puberty.

“I was basically tricked into signing documents for one of my older sons. This was before I really understood what was coming. There was a lot of confusion and at one point my son was suicidal,” Musk added.

The billionaire seems to have an aversion to the “awakening virus”. The matter becomes even worse when the Tesla CEO believes that this is the direct culprit “killing” his son through the propaganda of transgenderism on the media and social networks.

Earlier this year, Musk posted on X that “the awakening virus is killing Western civilization” with a post featuring an image of Google’s Al chatbot spitting out racist images.

Recently, the term “woke virus” or “woke mind virus” has been used to criticize social movements such as Black rights, feminism, or organizational diversity policies. Despite its frequent use, there is no official definition of “woke virus.” The term is also judgmental, simplistic, and often used in a derogatory way, which can increase polarization and division.

Meghan Markle’s strained relationship with her father has drawn significant media attention in recent years. The father-daughter pair have remained out of contact, with the Duchess of Sussex reportedly restricting her father’s access to his grandchildren due to their rift.

Meghan Markle, now a part of the British royal family through her marriage to Prince Harry, shares two children with him. While she maintains a close bond with her mother, Doria Ragland, her relationship with her father, Thomas Markle, took a different turn, resulting in a well-publicized estrangement.

Meghan and her father used to have a warm relationship. In a 2021 interview, Thomas shared an emotional memory of his daughter’s birth in 1981, noting that he was the first to hold her. “I fell in love with her and I’d been that way for 40 years,” said the Pennsylvania native who has two older children from his first marriage.

Meghan also reflected on her childhood in an essay for Elle magazine and revealed her parents met in the late ’70s. Her father worked as a lighting director for a soap opera, while her mother was a temp at the studio.

After marrying in 1979, the couple moved to an affordable, tree-lined neighborhood in L.A.’s San Fernando Valley. Despite the close-knit bond she shared with both parents in her early years, Meghan’s family life shifted when her parents divorced in 1987.

As she grew up, the public figure pursued a career in acting, eventually crossing paths with Prince Harry in 2016. Yet, in the midst of her rising success and high-profile relationship, her father made a mistake that would later contribute to the strain in their relationship.

Amid Meghan and Prince Harry’s engagement in 2017, Thomas faced health issues, including a heart attack just days before the wedding in May 2018. He shared that stress, partly due to his eldest daughter’s public remarks against Meghan, worsened his condition.

Thomas revealed he hadn’t heard from Meghan since news broke that he wouldn’t attend the wedding, though he felt her mother was a good choice to walk her down the aisle. After a brief stay at a hospital in Mexico, he expressed concerns about his health, fearing he might suffer another heart attack.

Just ahead of the wedding, Meghan announced in a statement from Kensington Palace, “Sadly, my father will not be attending our wedding.”

In her father’s absence, then Prince Charles ultimately walked her down the aisle. Reflecting on this, Thomas expressed his appreciation saying, “I certainly couldn’t have asked for a better replacement. Although, I would love to have done that.”

The father of three missed the wedding following backlash over staged photos he sold to a photo agency. He explained that he hadn’t intended to harm Meghan or the Royal Family, but was frustrated with paparazzi who had repeatedly caught him in unflattering situations, often misrepresenting him.

Thomas divulged that he had declined high-paying interview offers since Meghan started dating the prince. He accepted a smaller fee from a photo agency, hoping the images would improve his public image. However, he later admitted the photos looked “stupid and hammy” and expressed regret over his decision.

Thomas’s secret collaboration with a British paparazzo for staged photos caused embarrassment for the Royal Family ahead of the wedding, especially after Prince Harry’s earlier pleas for media restraint.

The situation was particularly upsetting for the Duke of Sussex, who had previously spoken out against paparazzi behavior, recalling how similar pursuits had led to his mother, Princess Diana’s tragic death in 1997.

As such, during Thomas’s recovery in the hospital, the royal reached out, remarking, “If you’d listened to me, none of this would have happened.”

Thomas reportedly ended the call abruptly—a decision he later came to regret, acknowledging that this moment marked the beginning of their rift.

Following the initial fallout, he confided to friends in July 2018 that he hadn’t spoken to Meghan or Prince Harry in a long time. He feared he might never see his daughter again.

Heartbroken over their growing estrangement, he expressed a sense of finality, saying, “I think they’re shot of me now,” as he struggled to understand why he’d been excluded from Meghan’s life. Thomas later claimed he had been set up to disrupt the wedding, presenting himself as a victim in the situation.

Adding to the strain, Meghan had written him a personal letter, which was subsequently leaked by a media outlet. This breach of privacy led Meghan to pursue legal action against the outlet for sharing the contents of her private message.

Due to their ongoing rift, Meghan’s father has never met her two kids, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, whom she welcomed in 2019 and 2021, respectively.

Thomas has since voiced his wish to see his grandchildren. He revealed in a 2023 interview that he first learned of Lilibet’s birth through media reports.

The distance between Meghan and her father only deepened after he suffered a stroke in May 2022, temporarily losing his ability to speak. Thomas shared that neither Meghan nor Prince Harry had reached out to check on him.

Reflecting on this, he admitted, “I’m heartbroken. I’m very upset,” describing it as painful and “cruel” for them to keep him from seeing his grandchildren. The animosity between the father and daughter remains, with Thomas reportedly no longer considering Meghan his daughter.

In a candid interview with Oprah Winfrey, Meghan discussed her strained relationship with Thomas. She recounted how the media’s intense pursuit led tabloids to track down her father, even setting up near his home.

The royal revealed her efforts to protect him from the press, yet Thomas ultimately went behind her back to speak with them. Feeling betrayed, she explained that he basically lied about his involvement, which contributed to their estrangement.

*Legendary music producer Quincy Jones left behind a substantial fortune when he passed away at 91 in his Bel Air, California, home on Sunday.

Known for his groundbreaking work with artists like Michael Jackson, Diana Ross, Miles Davis, Frank Sinatra, and Ray Charles, Jones built a lasting legacy in both music and business, amassing an estimated $500 million net worth, according to Celebrity Net Worth, Newsweek reports.

Jones, who was married three times, had seven children with five different women: Jolie (69), Rachel (59), Martina (58), Quincy III (55), Kidada (50), Rashida (48), and Kenya (31).

As we reported earlier, Jones’ family confirmed that he died at his home on Nov. 3, per a report from the Associated Press. He was 81.

“Tonight, with full but broken hearts, we must share the news of our father and brother Quincy Jones’ passing,” a statement from the family reads. “And although this is an incredible loss for our family, we celebrate the great life that he lived and know there will never be another like him.”

Will Smith, LL Cool J, Ice-T, and John Legend were among the celebrities who took to social media to mourn Jones and celebrate his career.

“Quincy Jones is the definition of a Mentor, a Father and a Friend. He pointed me toward the greatest parts of myself,” Smith captioned a photo of him and Jones on the set of the NBC sitcom “The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air,” which aired from 1990 to 1996. “He defended me. He nurtured me. He encouraged me. He inspired me. He checked me when he needed to. He let me use his wings until mine were strong enough to fly.”

Rapper/actor Ice Ice-T wrote in an  X post, “I  woke up today to the Terrible news that we lost Quincy Jones.. Genius is a discription [sic] loosely used but Rarely deserved. Point blank, Quincy was the MAN. I won my 1st Grammy with Quincy and I live with his Wisdom daily. My condolences go out to his family who I had the honor of meeting. This one Hit me. God bless you KING.”

LL Cool J shared a photo of Jones on IG with the caption, “You were a father and example at a time when I truly needed a father and example. Mentor. Role model. King. You gave me opportunities and shared wisdom. Music would not be music without you. My condolences to the entire family. I love you. Rest in the sweetest music eternally.”

“The first time I ever spoke to Q, he was gently reprimanding me because one of my team members wasn’t representing me well during my first year in the public eye. What a way to meet one of your heroes,” Legend wrote in his tribute post. “Well after that, we became good friends: we collaborated, we celebrated together all over the world, from Como to Montreux, California to New York. He always called me his little brother because I look like his younger brother Richard. He gave me great advice and always had the best stories. And Lord did he have stories.”

He added, “This man has lived one of the most consequential lives in the history of humanity,” he continued. “He was behind some of the most important music and culture we will ever know. And beyond all his accomplishments, anyone who knows Q will talk about the JOY he brought to every room. He was the life of the party, so charming and full of light.”

The award-winning singer continued, “I feel so fortunate to have witnessed it in person. But we’re all so fortunate to live in a world made more beautiful by the music he created. It will be eternally in our hearts.”

Comedian Chloe Fineman claims Elon Musk, the owner of Space X, made her weep when hosting “Saturday Night Live” in 2021.

Fineman recounted working with the tech mogul in a now-deleted TikTok post, months after fellow cast member and writer Bowen Yang hinted at the behind-the-scenes drama during an appearance on Bravo’s “Watch What Happens Live!” Yang cryptically claimed in August that a presenter made many staffers weep because “he hated the ideas” they proposed. Speculation abounded, and Fineman acknowledged her involvement on Monday.

The “SNL” star broke her silence after blasting Tesla CEO Elon Musk’s “butt hurt” reaction to “SNL” alumnus Dana Carvey’s impersonation of him in Saturday’s post-election episode. (Carvey returned to Studio 8H as a joyful, fist-pumping version of the “Dark MAGA”-boasting Musk from the cold open, stating he would control the country following former President Trump’s re-election last week. Fineman stated that the world’s richest man and Trump supporter is “clearly watching the show” despite receiving “rude” feedback on his X platform.

“I’m gonna come out and say at long last that I’m the cast member that he made cry, and he’s the host that made someone cry,” Fineman said in the clip she shared. “Maybe there’s others.”

“You made me, Chloe Fineman, fall into tears,” she went on, “because I spent the entire night composing this sketch. I was quite excited. I came in, asked if you had any questions, and you stared at me as if you were dismissing me from Tesla, saying, ‘It’s not funny.'”

The “Megalopolis” and “Despicable Me 4” star said she expected Musk to say he was just kidding, but he didn’t. Then she accused him of “pawing” through her script and stated, while impersonating his South African accent, that he didn’t laugh once during the sketch. She did not name the sketch, although she and Musk appeared together in “The Ooli Show” sketch from the May 2021 episode, for which she received a writing credit. Fineman played an Icelandic talk show personality, while Musk played her enamored producer.

She acknowledged that the sketch that aired in the episode “was acceptable” and that she “actually enjoyed it a lot.” She also recognized that Musk was “really humorous in it.” “However, a bit of decorum would be appreciated here, sir,” she wrapped up. Even though Fineman took down the video, it was captured and re-shared on X, where Musk responded to it on Monday and shared his thoughts on the performance. “Honestly, it was only on the Thursday before the Saturday that ANY of the sketches got some laughs,” Musk commented. “I was concerned. I thought, man, my SNL performance is going to be so f— unfunny that it could make a crackhead sober!! But in the end, it turned out well.”

Musk did not express remorse or mention that any cast members became emotional. Representatives for Fineman and “Saturday Night Live” did not promptly reply to The Times’ requests for comment on Tuesday.

Before Fineman shared her TikTok, Musk expressed his frustration about the latest episode on X.

“Musk tweeted in reaction to a clip from the cold open, stating ‘Dana Carvey just sounds like Dana Carvey,’ and in another tweet, he remarked, ‘They are so mad that @realDonaldTrump won.’”

He also asserted that the long-standing, Emmy-winning sketch show “has been gradually declining for years as it becomes more disconnected from reality.” Musk, who is anticipated to play a significant role in Trump’s upcoming administration, further accused the series of engaging in a “desperate attempt to evade the equal airtime rules” when Vice President Kamala Harris featured in the Nov. 2 episode before the election, stating that it “only contributed to the downfall of her campaign.”

Prominent figures in the American music industry, Kid Rock and Lee Gree Wood, have advocated for the creation of a month devoted to honoring veterans,

Which they believe should come before Pride Month. Discussions over the significance of both observations and the wider implications of giving one priority over the other have been triggered by their proposal.

The concept was the result of the dŅo’s longstanding admiration and respect for military veterans. Gree Wood, known for his patriotic song “God Bless the U.S.A.

” has a long history of taking advantage of veterans, condemning them, and honoring their efforts. Kid Rock has also been open about.

His support for the military and has participated in ÿŅmeroŅs events to support veterans’ causes. Both artists argue that the celebration should give special attention to acknowledging.

The contributions and sacrifices of veterans, maybe even before or instead of Pride Month. Reactions to Gree Wood and Kid Rock’s sŅggestio have been varied.

After making a daring declaration about banning Pride flags from schools, tech billionaire Elon Musk, who is well-known for his candid opinions,

Has ignited a fresh round of public debate. Musk recently said, “Pride flags should be banned from classrooms, forever!”

On social media. His comments have drawn a lot of attention right away, igniting a larger discussion over the use of identifying markers in classrooms.

Musk’s opinions seem to stem from the conviction that schools ought to be places where the only emphasis is on teaching and are free from social or political pressures.

Despite their widespread significance, he contends that symbols like the Pride flag may take away from an inclusive, neutral learning atmosphere.

Some people who agree with Musk’s point of view have found resonance in his remarks, while others who think that LGBTQ+ pride symbols foster inclusiveness and acceptance in schools have reacted negatively.

However, Musk’s seeming disregard for fighter Imane Khelif during her 2024 Olympic performance has also sparked conflicting responses. According to reports, the Algerian fighter,

Who gained notoriety for her incredible return, sought to be acknowledged by prominent tech industry personalities like Musk.

But Musk has been more concerned with his social views than the Olympics, and some fans have taken his silence as disdain.

Musk’s remarks on Pride flags have generated a great deal of controversy, especially among LGBTQ+ activists who contend that Pride banners provide kids a sense of safety.

Activists noted on social media that students would feel less welcomed if Pride flags are prohibited since they stand for visibility and solidarity.

Musk’s supporters counter that schools need to be neutral places devoid of any symbols that can incite prejudice or divisiveness.

This most recent declaration carries on Musk’s practice of addressing social and cultural concerns via his platform, ranging from public symbols to free speech.

It’s evident that Musk’s impact goes far beyond the domains of business and technology as his remarks reverberate among his followers and detractors.

Elon Musk is on the verge of shattering his personal wealth record following Tesla’s post-election rise.

According to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index, the world’s richest person’s net worth increased by about $21 billion on Monday as Tesla shares rose 9%, bringing it to $335 billion.

Tesla shares jumped as much as 2.6% in premarket trade on Tuesday before reversing and falling 4%.

Their initial rise quickly increased Musk’s on-paper fortune to around $342 billion, according to Business Insider, exceeding his previous high of $340.4 billion in 2021.

The Tesla and SpaceX CEO’s net worth has risen by an unprecedented $105 billion this year, placing him more than $100 billion ahead of the runner-up on the wealthy list, Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, who is worth $228 billion.

Tesla stock has risen since Donald Trump’s victory in the US presidential election, closing on Monday at $350, as investors bet the electric-vehicle company would gain from Musk’s tight relationship with the president-elect.

Siebert’s chief investment officer, Mark Malek, recently told BI that “some sort of premium has been placed on the stock as a result of Musk’s very public involvement in Trump’s campaign.”

According to the Associated Press, the tech tycoon supported Trump on X, and his super PAC spent an estimated $200 million to re-elect the former president.

Trump has recommended Musk lead a government-efficiency group focused at reducing federal expenditures and bureaucracy.

At Monday’s close, Tesla stock was up 41% year to year, but still a long way from its record level of $410 on November 4, 2021. The automaker’s market valuation has risen to more than $1.1 trillion, surpassing Warren Buffett’s $1 trillion conglomerate, Berkshire Hathaway.

Musk’s approximately 13% ownership in the company has increased in value as a result. At $335 billion, his personal fortune is comparable to Netflix’s $344 billion market value — and comfortably exceeds Salesforce’s $327 billion.
