John Legend and Chrissy Teigen‘s family has grown by one. Last week, the two welcomed their third child, as Legend revealed during a private concert. Today (January 19), Legend took to Instagram to share the first image of their newborn baby.
In the photo, Legend and Teigen’s children, Luna and Miles are seen holding their baby sister, who Legend revealed is named Esti Maxine.
“On Friday, we welcomed Esti Maxine Stephens to our family, and our house is overflowing with love and joy,” said Legend in the post’s caption. “I’m in awe of Chrissy’s strength and resilience and I’m so thrilled to see how Luna and Miles embrace their baby sister. I’m so, so grateful, but that doesn’t seem like a big enough word…”
Teigen shared the same photo on her Instagram account, expressing the joy she, Legend, and their kids have felt since bringing Esti home.
“the house is bustling and our family could not be happier,” she said in the post’s caption. “Daddy sheds nightly tears of joy seeing Luna and Miles so full of love, and I am learning you still need diapers with a c section!? We are in bliss. Thank you for all the love and well wishes – we feel it all!”
If you’re sharing a Netflix password with your friends or a disembodied hand meant to spy on your while you’re away at private school, be prepared to hear from Netflix Headquarters very soon. The streaming giant has been threatening to stop users from mooching for almost a year, and they made their intentions known at the end of 2022 that we’d be seeing a plan put into place to remove out-of-household user access in “early” 2023. Well, guess what? It’s now early 2023, and Netflix chose its fourth quarter earnings report to announce the beginning of the end for letting your barber watch Bo Burnham stand-up shows on your dime.
According to the report (via The Hollywood Reporter), the earnings letter reported a cartoonishly high amount of profile sharing among users.
“Today’s widespread account sharing (100M+ households) undermines our long term ability to invest in and improve Netflix, as well as build our business. While our terms of use limit use of Netflix to a household, we recognize this is a change for members who share their account more broadly,” Netflix said.
100M+? Almost half of all Netflix accounts let someone mooch? That seems difficult to believe, but it would also point to why the company is so steadfast in this totally bummer move.
“Part of it is what we call casual sharing, which is people could pay, but they don’t need to and so they’re borrowing somebody’s account. So our job is to give them a little bit of a nudge and to create features that make transitioning to their own account easy and simple,” co-CEO Greg Peters said.
The strategy makes sense, but the big question is whether that nudge will send people looking for their credit cards or learning to live without the final seasons of Stranger Things.

After an eventful 2022, which saw Ice Spice go viral with several hits, the New York rapper is gearing up for the release of her debut EP. Today (January 19), she took to Instagram and Twitter to reveal the title of the EP, Like…?.
The EP’s artwork left little to the imagination. In the cover art, she is seen bent over, and on the back of the cover art, the tracklist is written on her backside.
Earlier this week, Spice was spotted in New York City shooting music videos for some of the EP’s songs. She was reportedly set to film the video for a song called “Gangsta Boo,” however, her collaborator, Lil Tjay, was reportedly arrested ahead of the shoot. Fans then shared images of her and her crew dancing to “In Ha Mood,” presumably using the time to shoot the video for that single instead.
It appears Spice is dropping the EP at midnight tonight, as she has been retweeting tweets with the hashtag #LIKEATMIDNIGHT.
Her latest Instagram story is a black and white shot of the sky, some mountains, and a mystery man at the bottom. While it’s unclear if Gomez captured this photo or just found one online, it does bear the caption, “I prefer being alone in caps.”
Gomez also added the hashtag “#IAmSingle.”
Needless to say, fans were cheering Gomez on. However, some still have some questions…
“Whats that head,” one asked. Another replied that they thought it was a picture of Taggart.
Page Six was the first to run the photos. “There was also a group of young girls that went up for pictures from her shortly after and a man getting an autograph,” a source told the outlet.
However, The Chainsmokers recently appeared on a podcast where they confirmed that they have threesomes with fans. “I feel like that’s how threesomes happen, though.” It was never ‘die-hard fans’: “No one wearing merch or anything,” Taggart said.
Which, in Selena Gomez’s case, would make you prefer being single too.

Thursday night brought about the final regular season rematch from last year’s NBA Finals, as the Golden State Warriors traveled to Boston to face the Celtics, and the first half of action did not disappoint.
The two teams traded runs in the first two quarters, with Boston often being the one to make the first punch and the Warriors countering to pull back to even or a small lead. The end of the half featured the most entertaining of those back-and-forths, as Stephen Curry put an exclamation point on the half by poking the ball away from Jayson Tatum, gathering it in, and hoisting a 46-footer from beyond halfcourt that, naturally, found nothing but net.
It’s a preposterous play, but the shot itself is one that everyone in the arena and watching at home expected to go in as soon as it left his fingers because, well, that’s what Steph does. It’s also a shot he genuinely practices, ending his pregame warmup by pushing his shot back steadily from the three-point line to midcourt, so when he gathered it and was directly in the center of the floor, it was as comfortable a 46-foot shot as any player will have.
The shot gave Golden State the lead, but also made a little history, as Curry matched Jamal Crawford and Zach Randolph (??!) for the most 45-plus foot shots since the league started tracking that data in the mid-90s with the fifth such make of his career.
Stephen Curry’s shot at the end of the half was from 46 feet.
That is his 5th made shot from 45+ feet in his career. That matches Zach Randolph and Jamal Crawford for the most since play-by-play was first tracked in 1996-97. pic.twitter.com/sX80egFhX0

During Young Thug’s court trial, a new thread by reporter Michael Seiden details how his coworker, Mark Winne, obtained footage from when the prosecutors accuse Thug and co-defendant Kahlieff Adams of doing a “hand-to-hand” drug deal.
EXCLUSIVE: My colleague @MarkWinneWSB just obtained surveillance video that shows the moment prosecutors accuse Young Thug and his co defendant Kahlieff Adams of conducting a “hand-to-hand” drug deal in court.@wsbtvpic.twitter.com/smhVopvH7x
While the video cuts off as Young Thug sits back down in the courtoom, the co-defendant Kahlieff Adams allegedly ingested “other items of contraband,” according to Seiden. Because of this, he was taken to Grady Hospital. The prosecutors have since filed to “make a finding of fact that Court was delayed on January 18, 2023 because of the actions of Defendant Williams and Defendant Adams.”
INVESTIGATORS: Adams was taken to Grady Hospital after he appeared to ingest other items of contraband in an effort to conceal the extent of his crimes within the courtroom.
Young Thug’s (born Jeffery Lamar Williams) attorney, Keith Adams, shared more insight into what went down. “Mr. Williams had nothing to do with what went on in the courtroom yesterday,” Keith Adams shared. “One of the co-defendants, on his way to the restroom, attempted to pass something to Mr. Williams, who immediately turned it over to the deputy.”
The reporter in the video then asks if he knew it was allegedly Percocet.
“He did not know,” Adams adds. “We don’t know what it is. He did not know what it was, turned it over to the deputy right away. The deputies took action. The individual who had the contraband, not Mr. Williams, was taken into the back, where I’m told he ingested whatever he had.”

While the court is still in the jury selection process, Young Thug has been charged “with conspiracy to violate Georgia’s RICO Act and participating in a criminal street gang,” according to NPR.
Young Thug is a Warner Music artist. Uproxx is an independent subsidiary of Warner Music Group.
The NFL Playoffs got underway with an up-and-down “Super Wild Card” weekend, and fun was had by all. The Chargers gave away a massive lead, the Bucs flopped in prime time on Monday, and the Bills flirted with utter disaster against the Dolphins. Oh, and there was plenty more. In this space, the results were ugly, in part due to Buffalo’s inexplicable meltdown near the end of the first half, and there are fewer games to handicap this time of year. Alas, we press on, and the Divisional Round is here beginning on Saturday.
Before we roll into this week’s card, let’s gauge the full season performance.
Wild Card: 1-4
2022 Season: 49-42-2
Come get these winners.
TEASER: Kansas City Chiefs (-2.5) over Jacksonville Jaguars and Philadelphia Eagles (-1.5) over New York Giants
This is pretty square, which terrifies me, but I do think there is value here. Kansas City should be able to get home against an overmatched Jacksonville team, and Andy Reid is 30-6 with more than 10 days to prepare. New York is a public side at this point, but Philadelphia has the rest edge, the (much) more talented roster, and the ability to game plan to keep Daniel Jones in the pocket. Give me the favorites.
Buffalo Bills (-5.5) over Cincinnati Bengals
There is all kinds of sharp action on Buffalo here, pushing the line up despite public sentiment on Cincinnati as an underdog. The Bills played with their food last week and will need to be better here. I do think Buffalo will be able to get heat on Joe Burrow given Cincinnati’s decimated offensive line, and Josh Allen gets right here.
Buffalo Bills and Cincinnati Bengals UNDER 49 points
This has the feel of a potential shootout but, as noted above, the Bengals may not be able to protect Burrow like they need to. I also think Cincinnati’s defense is a bit undervalued, and being able to grab 49 here is helpful. Let’s get home at 27-17 or something.
Dallas Cowboys (+4) over San Francisco 49ers
Dallas probably isn’t as good on offense as it looked on Monday evening, and the Cowboys are seemingly always a public side. That isn’t really the case here, though, as the Niners are getting all kinds of accolades with Brock Purdy at the helm. Purdy struggled mightily in the early going against Seattle and, while he figured it out, Dallas is a different animal.
Dallas Cowboys and San Francisco 49ers UNDER 46.5 points
I trust both of these defenses to a decent degree, and I’m certainly lower on the Purdy experience than most. I have some fear that Dallas can beat San Francisco’s secondary but, if that happens, at least we’ll probably get the underdog to the window.
