Lena Dunham and husband Luis Felber welcome first baby via surrogate

Lena Dunham and her husband, Luis Felber, have welcomed a child via a surrogate.
The couple, who have been married since September 2021, are now the proud parents of a baby girl, the actress revealed in a Wednesday op-ed in Vogue.
We hear the couple are currently in the States and will soon head back to their home in North London, where Felber is from.
In her piece, Dunham gave an inside look at the timeline, noting that the embryo transfer happened in November before diving into her relationship with her surrogate.
“The feelings I thought would be there somehow weren’t: namely jealousy, that this woman could do for a child—for my child—what I could not,” she wrote. “Carry her safely in her body, use her form to feed and house her, regulate the baby’s ever-evolving nervous system with steadiness, heart, and breath.”
“Instead,” she added, “I felt a different kind of jealousy—toward said baby, for the chance to be tucked into someone who radiated such safety. I could just tell she knew how to steer an SUV in the snow.”
The “Girls” actress remembered that the surrogate told her she was pregnant by texting a photo of a pregnancy test.
“If I hadn’t already been lying down, I would have hit the floor, felled by a proprietary blend of shock and gratitude,” she shared. “So now, all there was to do was wait.”
Dunham confirmed her daughter arrived almost two weeks past her due date.
“13 days late, in the face of a solar eclipse and a meteor shower, she announced herself,” the proud mom wrote, seemingly referencing the rare celestial double feature that happened on Aug. 12. “I sat on a hospital bed, between the legs of a woman I hadn’t known a year ago, waiting for a glimpse of this person who I had been waiting for with something related to patience, but also none at all.”
Dunham continued, “I saw her face, gasping just as she did. Her eyes, wide and unfocused, taking in the light and shadow, blinking rapidly.”
Her first words to her daughter were, “Hello. I’m your mama. You look nothing like I thought you would, but exactly right. We’ve been waiting for you, do you know that? It was so nice of you to come.”
For almost a decade, Dunham has been open about medical issues with her reproductive system. In 2017, at the age of 31, she underwent a hysterectomy due to severe endometriosis, a painful condition where tissue grows outside the uterus.
Last summer, she told The Times that she and Farber were in the process of “expanding” their family.
Dunham also told the outlet that her hysterectomy “was a grief, but it was also a relief.”
“I thought I would have the opportunity to experience my fertility and my cycle waning and it never was,” she said. “Instead it was a very quick, sharp cut-off…I will say we’re in the process of expanding our family in new ways. I want to safely meet our children and then figure out how to talk about it.”
In April, Dunham talked about how she grieved the possibility of never becoming a mom after her hysterectomy.
“In the moment, my pain was so overriding that I put those other thoughts aside, and it was only in the aftermath of the surgery that I started to feel the weight of what had happened,” she said on “Today with Jenna and Sheinelle.”
She added, “Some people don’t dream about being mothers, but I had, and it was a big part of my identity that I was going to do it someday in that way.”
However, Dunham noted that since her surgery, she’s “met so many people who built their families in so many different ways,” which allowed her to “come to a place where I feel really excited” about having children her own way.
“Whatever way it happens, I will feel so grateful.”

‘Stuart Fails To Save The Universe’ Wanted Green Lantern, Settled For Flash

SPOILER ALERT! This post contains details from Thursday night’s episode of HBO Max‘s Stuart Fails to Save the Universe.
As the title of this week’s episode (“Spoiler: We Couldn’t Get Green Lantern”) suggests, the creators of Stuart Fails to Save the Universe really did want the Green Lantern to be at the center of the show’s DC comic crossover.
Unfortunately, the man without fear was already booked.
“They told us we couldn’t have him because of [HBO’s live-action series] Lanterns, which I understood,” Zak Penn, one of the series’ creators, revealed to Deadline. “Chuck [Lorre] was a little grumbly about it, but Bill and I pointed out to him that Flash was actually perfect. If we needed something that’s going from dimension to dimension, Flash worked even better than Green Lantern.”
Like Penn says, the episode ultimately sees Stuart (Kevin Sussman) and his friends stuck inside a comic book, where Mr. Freeze is terrorizing Gotham City. To get out of that dimension, they go off in search of Golden Age Flash for help.
“It was half opportunity and half what they encouraged us, but Golden Age Flash appealed to us a lot, just because he’s kind of silly. No offense to Golden Age Flash,” Penn said.
If it seems kind of backward that the gang would trek all the way to Central City to enlist The Flash to help them take on a villain in Batman’s territory, that’s the point. The writers reveled in the opportunity to poke fun at the more far-fetched notions accepted in comic lore.
“Bill [Prady] and I were laughing a lot [about] the whole notion of Gotham City isn’t where New York City is, which makes no sense,” Penn said. “All those things were just kind of built up humor and things that we felt about comic books. So, the next obvious decision was, in terms of a villain, let’s put the villain who seems right and that people know more, and then have our characters comment on the fact that he’s the wrong villain for this piece.”
Penn is surely considered the superhero expert of the group as a Marvel vet who also famously wrote a script for a Suicide Squad film that went unused. However, he says his fellow creators Prady and Lorre, as well as several of the other writers, had their own affinity for DC comics to draw upon for the episode.
He and the writers thought a commentary on how a layperson would navigate a comic locale like Gotham City “seemed like the perfect sense of humor for our show.”
“If you were in the DC universe, it would be pretty boring a lot of the time because you’d just be sitting around waiting for planes,” he laughs, adding that the irony is there’s also a bit about that exact notion in an early episode of Lanterns.
That other DC show didn’t steal all Stuart‘s thunder, though, and in fact there is plenty that the comedy series can get away with that its drama counterparts cannot in that the writers can lean into the quirks of these convoluted superhero universes rather than shy away.
“One of the things about this show that’s really fun is that you know when you work on an actual comic book movie, you really have to be rigorous about the consistency of the reality, because people will pick you apart if you’re not, and on this show we kind of took the attitude of ‘we’re going to purposely break things and then have the characters notice that the multiverse doesn’t work as well as it should,’” Penn explained.
Similarly, Penn says the episode could adopt a visual style more consistent with comic books without asking the audience to do more work suspending their disbelief.
“[Director] Robbie McNeill deserves a lot of credit, because he really added a bunch of stuff, like the way the frames panel at certain points, which is something that I don’t always think is effective. Back in the early days of comic book movies, when people did that, I think it really took you out of it,” Penn told Deadline. “But this show’s sense of humor needs that, so it was really helpful.”
The writers worked closely with DC’s Jim Lee to develop the versions of the comic characters that appear in Thursday’s episode. Lee teased the partnership over the summer at San Diego Comic-Con, assuring the audience in Hall H that the DC IP would be in good hands with the Stuart team.
“Some of the DC characters they have in it, I think are some of the best versions I’ve seen of those characters, and so I’m super excited for you guys,” Lee said at the time.
Penn, who had previously collaborated with Lee and the DC team on Ready Player One, remembered the Stuart reteam fondly: “They were great. They basically said, ‘How can we help? Other than we won’t give you Green Lantern.’”
The series has already been renewed for a second season ahead of next week’s Season 1 finale. Penn tells Deadline he “would be shocked” if the writers didn’t once again mine from the DC universe in future episodes, but Season 2 is still in early stages.

Miley Cyrus reveals biggest misconception about Dolly Parton

Miley Cyrus wants fans to know that Dolly Parton — despite her larger-than-life persona — was as “authentic” as they come.
“She’s known for, I guess, the faux, the fake, the hair, the makeup, the show of it, but there’s a part of her that’s just what I think everyone gravitates toward — how real she is and how authentic she is,” the “Wrecking Ball” singer said during a new interview with Apple Music’s Zane Lowe.
Elsewhere during the chat, Cyrus recalled her final conversation with her godmother before her tragic death on Aug. 25 following a brief — and private — battle with cancer.
“The time that we talked, which was the last time we would talk, it was actually me telling her about this record,” she said, referencing her latest album, “Bass Persuades.”
Cyrus, 33, noted that “because even though we are so different, that’s what made us so perfect for each other is that she knew this, and I know this.”
The “Flowers” hitmaker also opened up about how Parton’s sage advice comforted her through her life’s big moments.
“There was a time in my life, I mean, we hit on it with Hannah [Montana], so much of my life’s about persona.” she said.
It was Parton, Cyrus divulged, that helped her navigate the fame her Disney Channel character brought her — all while she was also discovering who she was off-camera.
“I think a way that I could look at that as, you can still have a persona and still be who you are, is because I had Dolly,” she explained.
Cyrus looked back on crying during her performances — something that perplexed Parton, who saw music as “escapism.”
“She was like, ‘Music is escapism. Let them cry. Get through it,’” Cyrus recalled, to which she responded, “I know, but this is who I am.” Parton, she said, “loved [her] for it.”
During her co-hosting gig with the legendary country singer during NBC special “Miley’s New Year’s Eve Party” as they rang in 2023, Cyrus recalled getting emotional while performing “I Will Always Love You” with Parton — and realizing the “9 to 5” star wouldn’t always be there to guide her through life’s challenges.
“So many of my really stabilizing peers that I have in my life, they’re generations before me,” she explained.
“And they’ve laid down brick by brick the road that I travel now, and they aren’t always going to be here for me to call them and say, ‘What do I do now?’”
Cyrus said it’s something she “always did with Dolly,” whom she described as having been “always right about stuff.”
The “Jolene” singer died at the age of 80 last month following a private battle with cancer. At the time, Cyrus mourned her “Aunt Dolly” in an emotional social media tribute, writing that the “feeling of losing” the country star was “beyond what feels right to share.”
Cyrus divulged in the upload, “One of our last conversations was about music and metamorphosis. 🦋.”

Dancing With the Stars’ Julia Stiles Shares Juilliard’s Apology After Shade

Julia Stiles is officially a Juilliard graduate—well, sort of.
After the Dancing With the Stars contestant called out the school’s statement that she never was a student there—despite playing one in 2001’s Save the Last Dance—during an exclusive E! interview, the prestigious conservatory followed up with a hilarious change of heart.
“Dear Julia, with our apologies for the clerical error, your alumni file was found under the name Sarah Johnson,” Stiles read from Juilliard’s note to her and pro Ezra Sosa in a Sept. 17 TikTok video. “We are so proud of you and cheering you and Ezra on.”
And the school—which first posted ahead of the DWTS season 35 premiere, “No, Julia Stiles did not, in fact, attend Juilliard”—couldn’t help but call back to her and costar Sean Patrick Thomas’ memorable exchange in the film when welcoming Stiles into the family.
“Remember, Dancing With the Stars ain’t no square dance,” she continued narrating their message, “but we know you’ll dance circles, probably, around everyone else.”
