He’s here! Kourtney Kardashian has given birth to her first child with husband Travis Barker, People reports, citing sources.
The little boy is the Blink-182 drummer’s fourth child. He’s dad to Landon and Alabama, and stepdad to Atiana with ex-wife Shanna Moakler. The Kardashians star shares kids Mason, Penelope and Reign with former partner Scott Disick.
Ahead of the newborn’s arrival, Barker revealed on the One Life One Chance podcast that the couple had selected the name Rocky Thirteen Barker. “I was like, ‘He’s going to come out of my wife’s vagina doing front kicks and push-ups,’” he joked at the time, and also revealed that the reality TV personality was due on Halloween or “the first week of November.”
One person who’s fully on board with the baby boy’s name? His big sister Alabama. “It’s a cool name,” the 17-year-old told E! News. “We all have very authentic, weird names … I love Rocky, I do.”
Barker and Kardashian — who married in May 2022 — announced her pregnancy during a Blink-182 concert in June. During the show at the BMO stadium in Los Angeles, the Poosh founder held up a sign that read “Travis I’m Pregnant,” recreating a scene from the band’s “All the Small Things” music video.
The reality star has shared her pregnancy journey with fans, posting photos of her baby bump on social media. But in September, she shared a scary update, revealing that she had to have “urgent fetal surgery.”
“As someone who has had three really easy pregnancies in the past, I wasn’t prepared for the fear of rushing into urgent fetal surgery,” she wrote on Instagram at the time. “I don’t think anyone who hasn’t been through a similar situation can begin to understand that feeling of fear. I have a whole new understanding and respect for the mamas who have had to fight for their babies while pregnant.”
She also thanked doctors for saving her little boy’s life, as well as Barker for rushing home while touring overseas to be by her side. Kardashian concluded her post, “Walking out of the hospital with my baby boy in my tummy and safe was the truest blessing.”

Family fun for the holidays. Alanis Morissette is used to being center stage but the Canadian singer stepped outside the box in a “heartwarming” new holiday campaign for Gap.

Morissette, who previously appeared in a 2005 Gap commercial with John Legend, Keith Urban and Jason Mraz, stars in the brand’s latest holiday campaign alongside her husband, Mario “Souleye” Treadway, and their three kids.
“Integrating my family into the campaign made it all the more heartwarming for me,” Morissette told Billboard in an email interview earlier this week.
Gap
“I gently warned everyone that the shoot might be an exercise in organized chaos,” she said of working with her family. “I have a pretty clear boundary between work and personal life. This was an example of us stepping outside of the more private approach we take and allowed for us to express how important relationships are in each of our lives.”
Gap commissioned a group of “gifted individuals” for the campaign, which celebrates the “holiday season as a gift.” Besides Morissette and her family, the campaign features podcaster, author and purpose coach Jay Shetty with his wife, cookbook author Radhi Devlukia; Grammy-winning composer/songwriter and folk artist Diana Gordon; model, singer and actress Rola; Lester Walker, Pierre Serrao and Jon Gray founders of the chef collective Ghetto Gastro; model Florence Huntington-Whiteley; model and designer Elsa Hosk with her daughter Tuuli; and body-positive model Sabina Karlsson with her family.
Staying true to her personal style, Morissette sports loose-fitting, comfortable clothing in the Gap campaign, including men’s ’90s Loose Denim Jeans ($79.95) paired with Gap’s Velvet Boyfriend Shirt ($34). The look matches Morissette’s “androgynous approach” to styling herself.
“I love the idea of combining glam with casual. Haute with leisure, dirty with fancy. This was a perfect example of care combined with mellow, classic pieces. Perfectly set up for personalizing with jewelry pieces or accessories.”
In music news, Morissette released a cover of George Michael’s “Last Christmas” from her holiday EP on Friday (Nov. 3). The four-song EP also includes covers of John Lennon and Yoko Ono’s “Happy Xmas (War is Over)” and Christmas carols “Little Drummer Boy” and “What Child is This?”
“I have been obsessed with George Michael my entire life and had the pleasure of meeting him backstage at one of my shows. WHAM! was a favorite band when I was younger,” she explained. “George’s voice (velvet and dreamy) was super inspiring to me,” she explained. “Covering ‘Last Christmas’ is a way to mark the holiday time as well as bow down to George himself.”
The holidays are a great time to catch up on festive music and musicals like Jagged Little Pill. The musical, based off Morissette’s pivotal 1995 album, will be at Toronto’s Princess of Wales Theater from Oct. 24-Nov. 26 and Knoxville, Tenn. from Dec. 5-10.
Jagged Little Pill the musical will head to Sacramento next year along with St. Louis, Orlando, Fla., Kalamazoo, Mich., Charleston S.C., Dallas, Texas and other cities.
“I love that this musical touches on topics that I care about so deeply,” said Morissette. “The emphasis is on healing, connection, the pain of rupture or the loneliness of a sense of disconnection. And how to remain connected in the face of conflict or challenge or loss. Such a celebration of how we define ourselves as we go along. The musical has the delicate combination of super vulnerable, activism, self-expression and the healing power of showing up with empathy.”

Carey’s 12-year-old twins, Monroe and Moroccan, will be joining her on tour. “They’re gonna do various moments of music-making and merriment,” she revealed.
During the interview, Carey also reacted to being mentioned in Britney Spears’ top-selling memoir, The Woman in Me. Spears gushed over Carey in the book and shared a story about meeting in her dressing room and snapping a photo together. “I love her,” Carey told Kimmel. “That was super sweet what Britney said about me.”

“There is nothing quite like MacBook Pro. With the remarkable power-efficient performance of Apple silicon, up to 22 hours of battery life, a stunning Liquid Retina XDR display, and advanced connectivity, MacBook Pro empowers users to do their life’s best work,” said John Ternus, Apple’s senior vice president of Hardware Engineering. “With the next generation of M3 chips, we’re raising the bar yet again for what a pro laptop can do. We’re excited to bring MacBook Pro and its best-in-class capabilities to the broadest set of users yet, and for those upgrading from an Intel-based MacBook Pro, it’s a game-changing experience in every way.”
Besides the Liquid Retina XDR display, Macbook Pro features a built-in 1080p camera and six-speaker sound system.
According to Apple, the M3 MacBook Pro is perfect for aspiring entrepreneurs, video editors, creatives, students. The new MacBooks feature upgrades like faster CPU and GPU, enhanced camera and audio, and up to 128GB of memory — but no touch bar.

The M3 Pro model is great for coders, creatives, researchers and other jobs that require “more demanding workflows,” according to Apple. The M3 Max is designed for jobs with “extreme workflows” such as 3D artists, programmers and video editors.
Macbook M3, M3 Pro and M3 Max are available for pre-order now at Amazon, Best Buy and Apple. The MacBooks will be released on Nov. 7.
Zayn Malik had already been dreaming of making a splash in the non-alcoholic beverage industry before Kristina Roth came into the mix. All he needed was the right partner, and Roth — who last year founded Mixoloshe, a brand dedicated to mimicking adult drinks minus the hangover — fit that bill.
Now, the ex-boy-bander is the new co-owner and chief creative officer of the company. He and Roth announced the joint venture last week, at the same time unveiling Malik’s first-ever original flavor of “boozy without the booze” mock-seltzer: Lychee Martini, a fruity but floral pain-free potion described as having enough sparkle to “make a unicorn jump with joy.” Boasting 45 calories, the drink’s sleek black can is printed with designs based on the “Pillowtalk” singer’s full-body blend of bad boy tattoos.
Coming into fruition just as Malik polishes up his next batch of new music, the partnership was first teased in the music video for his July single “Love Like This” with a brief shot of one of Mixoloshe’s brightly-colored spritzers.
[embedded content]
“These drinks offer an array of benefits, from a healthier lifestyle to being more inclusive for various occasions,” the star tells Billboard. “I want to ensure that everyone feels comfortable and empowered to choose them without judgment.”
Below, Malik teases his upcoming new music, shares his goals for “disrupting” the non-alcoholic beverage industry and the beginnings of his partnership with Mixoloshe:
We’re told you’re busy this week in the studio. Can you give us an update on any new music?
I’m putting the finishing touches on it right now, I’m ready for this to be shared with the world. Excited and ready.
Take us through the timeline of your partnership with MIXOLOSHE. Their website says you started as a fan of their products — did you then reach out to the company with the idea of working together?
My journey into the non-alcoholic beverage industry began about six months ago when I was introduced to Kristina. I’d been interested in this industry for years, primarily due to its potential for innovation and creativity. At the same time, Kristina was actively seeking a creative partner to bring fresh ideas into her venture. In June, we officially joined forces, and we wasted no time getting down to work.
Did MIXOLOSHE’s female leadership in particular motivate you to join the company?
After hearing about Kristina, and meeting her, I was really excited about her passion and drive for the brand. Her business skills spoke for themselves, but the product still had to speak to me in different ways, and it did. Mixoloshe, its goals, its products, its positioning in the marketplace, all of it was aligned with what I wanted to jump into.
As a man, what do you hope to add to a business led and founded by women?
I think it’s just about bringing my very best to the company in every way I can, and that’s what I’m going to strive to do. We lift each other up and that’s what I love about the partnership. Sharing and embracing each other’s skills and talents. Collaboration is key, our joint aim is to deliver the very best for our Mixoloshe customer. If people are going to spend their hard earned money on our drinks I want them to be the very best in the game.
As a musician, what perspective do you hope to bring to MIXOLOSHE that the company may not have considered before your partnership?
I believe there’s a strong parallel between making music and making cocktails, and that’s the importance of striking the right balance to create harmony. The art of creating the perfect music and achieving the perfect sensory harmony are intertwined, in my opinion, as both require a careful balance and a keen sense of creativity. When you’re composing music, every note and instrument must come together in just the right way. Similarly, in the world of cocktails, it’s essential to blend different elements and flavors to create a perfect taste experience.

Dennis Leupold for MIXOLOSHE
You’ve said that the non-alcoholic beverage market is “ready for disruption.” What do you mean by “disruption,” and how do you plan to bring it?
Disruption in the non-alcoholic space is driven by innovation. Creating unique flavors that can rival their alcoholic counterparts is a game-changer. Consumers are increasingly seeking exciting taste experiences in the non-alcoholic realm.
Secondly, the quality of ingredients used in these beverages is paramount. Using premium, natural, and sustainable ingredients not only elevates the product but also meets the growing demand for healthier, conscious choices. Finally, affordability plays a crucial role in ensuring broad accessibility for our brand. Innovation in the non-alcoholic category should not only be limited to high-end products but should include options that are affordable for a wide range of customers.
Why non-alcoholic drinks? Why are sober alternatives to alcohol personally important to you and your life?
I have such a busy work schedule so I have to be switched on. I’m always trying new sodas/flavored waters, all types of drinks that are refreshing and still fun. The chance to create my own with tastes I think are missing in the current market in the way we’re delivering them with our brand is really special.
I’ve also really loved the idea that this category brings people together, no matter their drink choice. I’m all about that, and it feels good to be providing a high end product at an accessible price, which was really important for me.
What do you want your fans to understand about this new venture?
My commitment to eliminating the stigma around non-alcoholic beverages. Non-alcoholic options should not be reserved solely for those who don’t drink, and the idea that non-alcoholic beverages are exclusively for “sober” individuals is a stereotype that I’m determined to challenge. My commitment lies in both innovation and social change, creating an environment where enjoying a non-alcoholic beverage is a choice, not a label, and where these drinks become a vibrant and celebrated part of the beverage landscape.
Do you see this as a stepping stone to becoming someone like Rihanna, Jay-Z, or Justin Timberlake, all of whom are moguls that started out as musicians?
All of them have had great success, and it’s been incredible to see. I’m on my own journey though, I don’t like to look left and right. I’m on my own path from Bradford to wherever it takes me next!
