The fan wrote to Rihanna: “Can I come to the baby shower sis!? 💀❤️ True or not your babies are going to be beautiful. Sorry everyone’s up in your uterus right now 😂💀” with Rihanna responding “Haaaaa! Stawwwp! You ain’t came to the first 10 baby showers! Y’all breed me every year dammit lol.”

Rihanna has previously stated her with to become a mother one day, stating that 10 years from now, she hopes to have had multiple children. So for now, the pregnancy rumours may have been shut down, but the tabloids will definitely keep their eyes on Riri.

Here are the top five Christmas movies to watch this weekend

Dec 3 2021

December is with us and it is finally acceptable to watch Christmas movies without being judged… and with this weather, we’re sure you have a cosy night in with some take-away food planned. Here is a list of our 5 undisputed Christmas classics:

1. Elf

This is probably the first film that came to mind when you think of ‘Christmas movies’ and for good reason Will Ferrell’s 2003 comedy is equally hilarious as it is joyful and it is one of the ultimate Christmas films to be watching this festive weekend.

2. How The Grinch Stole Christmas

We’re still in the first week of December and you’ve probably called someone a Grinch, already right? This film is an undisputed classic and anyone who disagrees is probably a Grinch.

3. Home Alone

What really is Christmas without Home Alone? Macaulay Culkin’s cult classic will appeal to adults seeking a nostalgia trip as well as the younger generation who have yet to experience what a proper Christmas movie looks like.

4. The Polar Express

Throw some animation into the mix with The Polar Express. You’re never too young or old to watch this because regardless of your age, you will feel Christmas wander every single time.

5. Any Harry Potter film

This one may turn a couple of heads but we have to admit that we wholeheartedly approve the idea of Harry Potter actually being a Christmas film. Long gowns, hot butterbeer and winter vibes, the Harry Potter series is the ultimate winter night-in accompaniment. So grab a couple of snacks from the sweet troller and get the pyjamas ready, because the Gryffindor clan are waiting.

Do you agree with our list?
