Billie Eilish’s mom breaks silence over ‘nepo baby’ allegations

Maggie Baird defended her children Billie and Finneas against nepotism allegations in a recent interview.

Maggie, who appeared in an episode of the sitcom Friends, shares two children with the actor Patrick O’Connell. However, the mom of two denied that having parents in the entertainment industry is the reason for her children’s fame.

The X-Files actress shared that recently when a clip of her, on a season six episode of Friends circulated all over the internet, critics were quick to pass judgements.

“That came out, and it was like, ‘Oh, Billie is a nepo baby,'” Maggie told Glamour Magazine in the interview published on Thursday, October 3rd. “And I’m like, ‘Did you know that I got that episode of Friends because I was about to lose my health insurance?'”

The actress went on to say that Maggie and her husband, who starred in Iron Man, were both “working-class actors.”

“We eked out a meagre living, and it afforded us a lot of time with our kids, which was awesome,” she added.

The Birds of Prey star detailed that Billie and Finneas have become more famous than she and Patrick ever were.

Adding that there are a lot of creatives who work hard but never get the recognition they deserve, she said, “People don’t really understand there’s a whole industry of people who are creative and they’re working and they’re struggling, and they make perfectly happy lives, and they feel creative, and they feel fulfilled.”

The 65-year-old actress reflected that she feels happy seeing her children, despite their record-breaking success, have managed to stay close to their family.

“You step onstage in front of 100,000 people, and that’s an hour and a half,” she told the outlet, “and then the rest of the time you’re at the dinner table and your brother is giving you s–t. The family part is the part that keeps it sane.”

Billie is currently working on producing her own music, while Finneas is gearing up for the release of his solo album For Cryin’ Out Loud! which is set to release, today, on October 4th.

Sophie Turner is now a mom of two daughters, whom she shares with ex-husband Joe Jonas

Sophie Turner is urging parents to think twice before letting their children dive into the entertainment industry.

Reflecting on her own experiences of entering the industry at just 13, the Game of Thrones alum shared her thoughts during a recent interview with The Times.

Now 28, Turner advised, “I’d say to any parent, if your child wants to get into the industry, wait until their frontal lobe has formed, which is 25… I would highly discourage them from getting into it before they can fully process what that means.”

The mom of two, who has been open about her struggles with depression and an eating disorder, also touched on the personal hardships she faced throughout her career, including her 2023 divorce from Joe Jonas after four years of marriage.

She credited fellow Game of Thrones star Maisie Williams, who played Arya Stark, for helping her cope. “Without her, I don’t know where I’d be,” Turner said, humorously adding, “In a crack den somewhere.”

Now starring as a glamorous diamond thief in the upcoming series Joan, Turner revealed she remains her own harshest critic.

“I’m hyper-critical of my performance… It’s just, ‘I could have done that better.’” 

However, she embraced the chance to lean into the glitz and glamour of her new role, saying the fun costumes and styling were a refreshing change from her past projects.

Zendaya reflects on her time as contestant on Dancing with the Stars

Zendaya is reflecting on her time as a contestant on Dancing with the Stars in 2013, sharing valuable insights from her runner-up experience.

During an exclusive interview with EW’s The Awardist podcast, the 28-year-old actress, who came second on the show alongside professional partner Val Chmerkovskiy in 2013, confirmed that she hasn’t watched the programme since.

She admitted, “I have not watched Dancing With the Stars since I was on.

“I didn’t really watch Dancing With the Stars before I was on Dancing With the Stars. I don’t think I was the target demographic. My grandma loves ‘Dancing with the Stars’, that’s her bag.”

Recounting an instance from the past, the Euphoria star referred to it as a “tough” experience, “But yeah, I also think it was a very stressful experience. I was like, I don’t think I’m gonna be watching this anymore.”

Previously, Zendaya confessed that she’s “terrified” of fame, admitting she doesn’t think she’s “cut out” for the spotlight.

She said at the time, “I do love my job, I’m so grateful. I love doing the work, I love being on set, I do love moments like this – don’t get me wrong – but I am terrified of that part of it, often.”
