Sometimes it gets a bit crazy trying to keep up with all the rich and famous peeps. So, in case you missed out, here are the biggest moments you need to know about this morning:
1. Emma Watson was named as one of the people involved in the Panama papers leak debacle. However, a rep for Emma released a statement last night stating that although the 26-year-old actress has set up an offshore company, she does not receive any tax or monetary advantages whatsoever. Instead, Emma’s spokesperson said that the she uses it for privacy papers “for the sole purpose of protecting her anonymity and safety.”

2. Chrissy Teigen was shamed for “abandoning” baby Lulu a week after giving birth when she went out for dinner with husband John Legend. Naturally, Chrissy quipped back at haters when she tweeted:
I went to dinner. People are pissed. Good morning! pic.twitter.com/oQ54mtet8c

After a Daily Show segment aired yesterday defending the couple’s decision to go out, John tweeted his approval by sharing the clip as well as another tweet. He also came to Chrissy’s defence when he shut down the mom shamers by tweeting:
Luna’s first @TheDailyShow appearance. FYI, we only have Mary Poppins on weekends. https://t.co/5qMeGuMN7u — John Legend (@johnlegend) May 11, 2016
Funny there’s no dad-shaming. When both of us go out to dinner, shame both of us so Chrissy doesn’t have to take it all. We’ll split it.

3. Yesterday, the SABC announced their decision for all their radio stations to now play 90% local, a 20% increase from the original 70%. Naturally, local musos are thrilled, taking to Twitter to voice their thoughts:

4. 29-year-old Mary-Kate Olsen is expecting her first child with hubby Olivier Sarkozy (40). Congrats to the happy couple!
5. Remember Paris Hilton? Yip, the original reality TV princess who fell into the shadows after the Kardashians landed on the scene (and screens!) is working her way back into the spotlight. After many failed attempts to make a come-back, the 35-year-old is reportedly working on a documentary about her “simple life”. According to reports, we can, “See Hilton discuss the thing that ‘made’ her famous, reflect on how the spotlight has contributed to the person she is and examine the impact her image has made on young women today.”

6. Was Katy Perry sending Orlando Bloom a message on Twitter? Following his recent, after-hours activity with Selena Gomes, we can’t help but wonder. The singer tweeted a post with a link to a 1969 song by Peggy Lee, called “Is that all there is? The song is about disappointment and contains lyrics like, “And then I fell in love, with the most wonderful boy in the world. Then one day, he went away and I thought I’d die. But I didn’t. And when I didn’t I said to myself,
“Is that all there is to love?”
