Fresh off his award-winning performance in Uncut Gems (he won the Oscar for Best Actor Doing Cocaine Off Julia Fox In a Bathroom), Abel Tesfaye, a.k.a. the Weeknd, guest starred on American Dad! as himself. The “Blinding Lights” hit-maker is a huge fan of the Seth MacFarlane animated series, telling Variety, “I’ve been watching since high school, but I really appreciated it about seven years ago. It’s been running for so long, and I feel like it has a real cult following. To really enjoy the show in its entirety, you have to really know the characters.” Characters like Stelio Kontos, Jenny, and the Majestic. (Seriously, American Dad! is a good show, no matter what you think of Family Guy.)
In Monday’s episode, “A Starboy Is Born” (which Tesfaye co-wrote with Joel Hurwitz), the Weeknd is kidnapped by Stan to teach Roger a lesson about following the rules; also, Hayley tries to indue the singer, only to learn his deepest, darkest secret: he’s a virgin. He even has a song to prove it, fittingly titled “I’m a Virgin.” The chorus goes like this:
“I’m a virgin
Never got close enough
Cell phone blowin’ up, but I’m waiting
For the right person
Tryna act super tough
But inside I’m a twelve-year old boy”
Also, the Weeknd named season five gem “The One That Got Away,” where Roger discovers that someone named Sidney Huffman has maxed out his credit card, as his favorite American Dad episode, so you know he’s for real. Listen to “I’m a Virgin” below.
Elon Musk ended last week by revealing that his and Grimes’ baby was due on Monday (yesterday, May 4). Sure enough, Grimes gave birth yesterday, and Musk has shared some details about the situation.
Early yesterday afternoon, Musk noted the baby was “a few hours away!” About four hours later, Musk checked back in on Twitter, indicating that the birth was successful by writing, “Mom & baby all good,”
A few hours away!

Somebody asked Musk what the baby’s name is, and he responded, “X Æ A-12 Musk.” Grimes giving her child an atypical name wouldn’t be surprising, but Musk may have been joking, because he was in a joking mood. When asked for a picture of the baby, he shared a photo edited to give the kid face tattoos. He also revealed that the baby is a boy. Then, he shared a photo of himself holding his son (while also holding a face mask and wearing an “occupy Mars” shirt).

Grimes’ last baby-related updates on social media came a few days ago. She noted on May 1 that she is “like… redy 4 da hospital,” and a couple days before that, she shared a photo of herself on Instagram and wrote, “It’s weird I thought I looked soooo pregnant when @ryder_ripps took these photos like 7 ish months ago but in retrospect I look tiny lol. Everything is relative I guess. I wuz prob 2 skinny b4. This is the first time in my life I’ve eaten 3 meals a day and that has def been a positive development lol. If u aren’t doing so I’d recommend it!”
I have realised, after cackling at all of these, I have a distinct sense of humour.
