He's got a name! The world's favorite baby, Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's baby boy, has a name and his parents have just released it to the world ... Archie Harrison Mountbatten Windsor! It's a mouthful!
The happy parents took to their SussexRoyal Instagram account to make the announcement in this brief statement: "The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are pleased to announce they have named their first born child: Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor. This afternoon Their Royal Highnesses introduced Her Majesty The Queen to her eighth great-grandchild at Windsor Castle. The Duke of Edinburgh and The Duchess’ mother were also present for this special occasion."
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have forged a non-traditional path with their little boy -- they waited two days before debuting him to the world in the baby's first public photos and didn't announce his name for 48 hours as well, bucking tradition. We love it!

It was a busy afternoon at the celebrity hub of Van Nuys airport! Tons of stars touched down in their private jets, flying in from the east coast after the Met Gala ... and we can't help but think -- they could have shared the ride!
Kylie Jenner carried daughter Stormi in her arms as she landed in the biggest and best plane -- after all, she IS a billionaire. Next up was J Lo, also solo (save their respective entourages).
Then young model Bella Hadid landed and proceeded to hug her posse of about ten people -- including those who were on the plane with her (check out the gallery)! She was decidedly dressed-down after days of Met Gala fancy -- a tie-dye sweatshirt with flared white jeans and her hair down.
The next jet to land was country singer Carrie Underwood's -- she was on board with newborn baby Jacob, son Isaiah, and hubby Mike Fisher -- and a nanny and assistant, of course.
Last, but not least, was Mandy Moore! Yes! Mandy Moore! Who knew she had enough money to fly private???!!! Is that
This Is Us money? Ryan Adams divorce money? "Candy" album royalties? Or all of the above?

Here he is! The newest addition to the royal family was debuted today for the world to see as the Duke and Duchess of Sussex Meghan Markle and Prince Harry showed off their bundle of joy.
The couple showed off their baby boy at St. George’s Hall in Windsor Castle where they had their wedding reception, two days after welcoming the yet-unnamed newborn was birthed.
When asked what it's like being a new mom, Meghan responded: "It’s magic. It’s pretty amazing. I have the best two guys in the world, so I’m really happy.†She added, "[He] has the sweetest temperament. He’s really calm. I don’t know where he gets that from! ... He’s just been a dream. It’s been a special couple of days."
Harry added, "Everyone says babies change so much over two weeks. We’re basically monitoring how the changing process happens over this next month, really. His looks are changing every single day, so who knows? ... It’s great. Parenting is amazing. It’s only been two and a half days, but we’re just so thrilled to have our own little bundle of joy."

Yaaaa, Queen! This year's Met Gala was MADE for Lady Gaga and she didn't disappoint! If the flamboyant singer had done anything less, it would have been a let down, but she proved she understands camp, loves it, and DEFINES it!
The singer ditched her
A Star Is Born serious persona and went back to original Gaga style for the "Camp" theme and she was on point! She stripped through four outfits by designer Brandon Maxwell -- starting out with a voluminous pink gown, ditching that for what appeared to be a black crinoline underneath but was actually a full-on dress accessorized with a black umbrella, ripping that off to reveal a Madonna-style pink column dress with brick phone accessory, then
really stripping down to a revealing black lingerie with fishnets. And it was all a performance piece, living art, fabulous!

Over-the-top Kardashian style! Let's face it, this family's used to being over-the-top so the Met's Costume Institute Gala's "Camp" theme was hardly a challenge for them!
Kim and Kylie both wore transparent looks, of course, showing off their impossible curves. Kim's hair was wet and her dress was sequined and sparkly gold on the few parts where it wasn't see-through. Kanye apparently didn't feel like submitting to the theme so he wore an underwhelming black sup-up Carhartt jacket in black with matching black slacks and sneakers. Why go if you aren't going to play along?!
Kylie had a more interesting look in lavender feathers and beds. Her bustier bodysuit had a chain mesh skirt adorned with feathers at the bottom and she wrapped herself up in a matching boa. "Hubby" Travis Scott played along with a flack jacket-style harness over a military-inspired suit with a leather glove on his right arm.
Kendall Jenner's the model in the family, so of course she looked stunning. Her bright orange feathers competed somewhat with sis Kylie, but at the same time, they complemented each other. Her nude bodice was sexy and her dress, slinky and we loved it!
Mama Kris wore a crazy winged, floor-length coat with a navy blue jumpsuit and topped it off with a platinum bobbed wig. Her escort Corey Gamble wore a tux with too-short sleeves, shirt cuffs exposed and a silk ribbon tie. Theirs wasn't our favorite look of the night, to say the least ...
Then, after the party it's the after-party and that's where the real fun kicked in. The family seemed to have a "wet" theme, as Kim's look included turquoise and tinsel that made her look like she'd just walked out of the water -- a literal silver tinsel wig on her head. Kylie switched to teal hair and kept some feathers for her skinny, floor-length dress that was obviously mermaid-inspired.
Anna Wintour and the Met had a GREAT idea with their "Camp" theme -- what a fun night!

In OTHER royal baby news ... did Kim and Kanye welcome baby #4 the same day as Meghan Markle and Prince Harry?!
Kardashian-watchers are speculating that the couple's gestational surrogate may have given birth, given Kanye's text to his wife which she posted on Instagram this morning (above). He wrote: "This is your life / Married with four kids / Get people out of jail / Cover of Vogue / Go to church every week with your family / Dreams come true." That is SO sweet! Kanye just got us with this one ...
But back to baby talk -- he wrote, "Married with four kids." Does that mean Mr. and Mrs. West's little boy has already arrived???
Speaking of babies who've arrived -- Amy Schumer welcomed her first child with hubby Chris Fischer which she revealed on Instagram with a pic of her cuddling her new bundle of joy, who, she wrote, was born at 10:55pm last night. Congrats all around!

Finally, some kind words from Duchess of Sussex Meghan Markle's dad Thomas! After a long-running rift in the family, the royal's father if putting out good words in honor of the occasion of the birth of his grandson.
He told the
Mirror in a statement: "I’m delighted to hear that mother and child are doing well. I am proud that my new grandson is born into the British royal family and I am sure that he will grow up to serve the crown and the people of Britain with grace, dignity, and honor. God bless the child and I wish him health and happiness, and my congratulations to my lovely daughter Duchess Meghan and Prince Harry, and God save the Queen."
God save the Queen, indeed!
Moving on ... Meghan's ex-husband Trevor Engelson isn't thinking happy thoughts, according to a source ... "Trevor doesn’t really think about Meghan, as he’s in a very happy relationship and about to be married,†a source tells
Us Weekly. “He will not be reaching out to congratulate them, as Meghan and Trevor no longer speak." HARSH!
Meanwhile, Meghan's mother Doria Ragaland is at Frogmore Cottage with the couple, tending to her new grandson. The Palace released a statement on her behalf saying she is "overjoyed by the arrival of her first grandchild." Sweet!
Meghan and Harry will first present their son to the world in "two days' time," as Harry told the media this morning outside Frogmore when he updated on his wife and baby. We can't wait!

Lady Gaga is going back to her roots! The eccentric singer attended a pre-Met Gala dinner party wearing a huge black and white, tiered, ruffled dress from Marc Jacobs’ Fall 2019 runway collection, accessorized with a big feather-topped fascinator.
Gone are the days of the actress Stephani Germanotta, back is big, loud, crazy Gaga!
Gaga took the upcoming Met Gala's "Camp" theme to new heights, literally, with her vertically and altitudinally-impressive get up. Marc Jacobs himself even celebrated the look in this Instagram post reading, "It’s (pre) SHOW TIME! And, who better to kick things off than the Lady herself. Here tonite @ladygaga wearing Look #34 RUNWAY 2.13.18 MARC JACOBS and Make up @sarahtannomakeup using @marcjacobsbeauty."
