Billie Lourd, the daughter of late actress Carrie Fisher had a great way to celebrate Star Wars Day on Tuesday. She introduced her seven-month-old son to Princess Leia.
Billie shared a photo of baby Kingston watching his late grandmother in Star Wars: A New Hope. “May the 4th,” she spelled out in emojis in the caption.
Kingston also wore a special brown knit cap featuring Leia’s iconic bun hairstyle, as well as a onesie with a picture of the character.

Meghan Markle continues to build her media empire.
The former Suits star is adding children’s book author to her resume.
Her book is titled The Bench, and is about “the special bond between father and son — as seen through a mother’s eyes.”
The story is said to be inspired by Prince Harry and their son Archie, who turns two on Thursday.
In a statement, Meghan says, “The Bench started as a poem I wrote for my husband on Father’s Day, the month after Archie was born.”
The book, which publishes on June 8th, comes only a few months after the former royals signed a multi-year deal with Netflix to produce documentaries, feature films, scripted television series and children’s series.

Move over, Will Smith, you’re not the only middle-aged Hollywood star who’s let himself go. Mark Wahlberg has been doing more snacking than weight-lifting lately and he’s showing off his new dad-bod.
The 49-year-old actor, who’s known for being a fitness buff, recently put on 20 pounds for his new movie, Father Stu. He posted a photo on Instagram showing what he looked like three weeks ago compared to what he looks like now and you wouldn’t believe it. And he’s not done putting on the pounds. He says he’s “going up another 20.”
But if you’re picturing Mark sitting on the couch chowing down on Wahlbergers, you’re wrong. He’s still working out hard, only he’s teamed up with a nutritionist who’s helping him gain weight the smart way. (Page Six)
