Keke Palmer & Sacha Baron Cohen To Star In “Super Toys”

Keke Palmer and Sacha Baron Cohen will star together in the film Super Toys. The film will hit the 2023 European Film Market (EFM) in Berlin. Charles Roven and Matt Budman will be producing the film. CAA Media Finance will represent the United States distribution rights. FilmNation Entertainment will be selling to international territories. 3 Arts Entertainment and Hertz Lichtenstein Young & Polk LLP represent Palmer. CAA and Ziffren Brittenham represent Baron Cohen. CAA also represents the film’s writer and director, David O. Russell.

Super Toys tells the story of Palmer and Baron Cohen’s characters as a duo of “groovy ’70s toy sales reps on a life-and-death mission to save themselves, their marriage and their live-wire 12-year-old daughter while on the road in Middle America.” The film is a drama, as can be expected by the story’s tagline and brief summary. Other cast member announcements have not been released because the film is still in the fairly early stages of pre-production.

Super Toys tops off one of Keke Palmer’s most successful years yet. It follows her critically acclaimed performance in Jordan Peele’s 2022 film, Nope, as Emerald Haywood. She received the title of best supporting actress by the New York Film Critics Circle. Also, she received praise for her performances in Aliceyy tutu in the New and Lightyear. In November 2022, Palmer launched Key TV, which aims to showcase the work of a new generation of creators. Additionally, Palmer hosts NBC’s game show, Password. She lends her voice to characters in The Proud Family revival, Big Mouth, and Human Resources.

In 2021, prior to Super Toys, Baron Cohen received two Oscar nominations for his performances in The Trial of the Chicago 7 and the Borat Subsequent Moviefilm sequel. He produced, wrote, and starred in the latter. Also, he played Uncle Ugo in Pixar’s Luca and will narrate Chlem: The Smartest Place on Earth. Baron Cohen, Greg Daniels, Mike Judge and Michael Koman will produce the HBO Max and Cartoon Network special. In addition, Michael Korman is also its writer. Let us know what you think of the concept for this move, in the comments section down below.

Keke Palmer Shows Off Baby Bump Dancing On IG

Keke Palmer recently showed off her baby bump on Instagram, wearing nothing but underwear in an energetic start to her Sunday morning (February 5). Moreover, she danced to “They D*kin” by Lil Boosie and had a nice morning message for her followers. “Goodmorning y’all!!!” she captioned her video post. “Happy Sunday from me && the bump,” finishing things off with some emojis. Of course, the comments filled up with loving messages hyping her up, with some even reminiscing on that song. “You betta get it mama!” one user wrote. “Baby boy definitely turning up in there.”

Furthermore, Keke broke the news of her pregnancy during her hosting stint a couple of weeks ago on Saturday Night Live. “There’s some rumours going around. People have been in my comments saying ‘Keke’s having a baby, Keke’s pregnant,’” she remarked on stage. “I want to set the record straight — I am,” and turned to the side to show the crowd her belly. When the crowd roared and cheered for her, she jokingly addressed the fact that this wasn’t a surprise to many. “You know, I gotta say though. It is bad when people on the internet spread rumours about you y’all. It’s even worse when they’re correct. But honestly this has been the biggest blessing, and I am so excited guys — I’m gonna be a mom!”

Moreover, the 29-year-old recently shared a touching and heartfelt message for her boyfriend Darius Jackson on his birthday. “I can easily write long emotional posts for all my girls birthdays, but it’s so cringy writing a birthday post for you because the love is so sacred. It almost feels asinine to try to share or give a glimpse into something that only we could understand. I can share most things so easily, but not you. Happiest Birthday to the best Aquarius, Darius, my guy! Let’s go Birds!”

Meanwhile, her appearance on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon gave us some more details. Palmer casually revealed that they’re expecting a boy, and shared pictures of his fairytale-inspired baby shower. Or at least, the IG caption for Keke’s post was. As always, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest on Keke Palmer.

Keke Palmer & Darius Jackson’s Baby Shower Was A Lit Fairytale Affair: Photos

Celebrity babies are coming in numbers lately, with droves of our favourite artists and actors expanding their families regularly. One of the most recent pregnancy announcements to come from Hollywood was during Keke Palmer’s hosting stint on Saturday Night Live. Last month, she confirmed to the world that she and her boyfriend, Darius Jackson, are expecting their first child together.

Spilling the tea on late-night television seems to be a favourite activity for the Disney Channel alum. After unveiling her bump to the SNL audience, Palmer joined Jimmy Fallon on his talk show last week. During their chat, the 29-year-old casually let it slip that she’s expecting a boy.

Over the weekend, fans’ excitement has only grown stronger as the expecting mother shared adorable photos from her fairytale-themed baby shower on social media. “‘A long time ago, in a land not so far… The King and Queen got together to play,’” she wrote in the caption of her photo dump late on Saturday (January 28) night.

“‘The play turned to love as many sunsets passed by. Now there’s a prince, who’s soon to arrive!’” her sweet poem ends. In the accompanying pictures, Palmer looks as glamorous as ever in a ribbed brown dress as she hugs her bump.

The first three images are solo snapshots of mama in her third trimester. In the last few photos, Jackson joins his partner in a coordinated brown outfit.

In the comment section, countless celebrity friends are sending kind wishes to the Hustlers star in this exciting time. “The absolute prettiest,” SZA wrote. Casse, Chloe Bailey, Stefflon Don, and La La Anthony also had compliments to give.

As blog posts surfacing online point out, the event wasn’t anything short of lit. Palmer’s due date is quickly approaching. Still, she didn’t hesitate to drop it low and keep the crowd laughing with her usual comedic antics.

Before they celebrated their baby boy at his shower this weekend, Palmer made sure to show some love to Jackson on his birthday earlier this month. For the most part, they’ve kept their romance low-key, but as her due date approaches, the actress has been sharing more of their love with the world.

Keke Palmer Seemingly Reveals Baby’s Gender On Jimmy Fallon: Watch

2022 was an undeniably big year for celebrity babies. Rihanna and A$AP Rocky welcomed their first together in May. Big Sean and Jhené Aiko followed suit a few months later. Additionally, Summer Walker became a mother of three after giving birth to twins in the last few days of December. Of course, there were plenty of major pregnancy announcements as well, including Keke Palmer’s during her hosting stint on Saturday Night Live last month.

While giving her opening monologue, the Jump In! starlet mentioned the rumours that have been circulating online about her having a bun in the oven. Popping open her shirt to reveal an obviously budding baby bump, she happily confirmed them to the world.

In the weeks since, fans have been eager to learn everything they can about Palmer’s forthcoming family, and her low-profile relationship with Darius Jackson.

We’ve seen some heartwarming social media content from them in recent weeks, including Christmas celebrations and a beautiful birthday tribute from the 29-year-old to her beau. It remains unclear exactly when the parents-to-be are expecting their bundle of joy. During a recent interview with Jimmy Fallon, though, the former child star seemingly revealed its gender.

“I don’t want to be too blunt for my baby boy,” she casually said while discussing possible zodiac signs that her offspring could have. As Page Six notes, Twitter users immediately flocked to the platform, reacting to the news. “Wait. Did Keke Palmer just reveal she’s having a boy on Jimmy Fallon?!” one person wrote alongside emotional emojis.

Another added, “Keke Palmer is going to be a great boy mom. Coming from a Virgo boy mom. We’re too mean for girls.”

Before she shared the exciting news of her pregnancy with the world last December, Palmer sat down on the Whoreible Decisions podcast. In that interview, the actress was candid about some of her bedroom preferences, including girl-on-girl porn and being submissive.

Keke Palmer Celebrates BF Darius Jackson On His Birthday Ahead Of Their First Baby

For most pop culture lovers in their 20s, Keke Palmer is a famous face that grew up alongside us. From 2006’s Akeelah and the Bee and her time on True Jackson, VP to more recent roles in projects like Hustlers and Nope, the Illinois native’s strong work ethic has always been obvious.

After an impressive run in Lightyear, Alice, and Jordan Peele’s latest film last year, the 29-year-old is taking some time to focus on her personal life. Specifically, she and her boyfriend Darius Jackson are welcoming their first child together in a few months.

Palmer broke the news to the world while hosting Saturday Night Live late last year. Prior to that, the rumour mill was rapidly turning online. At the time, social media sleuths seemingly spotted a budding bump beneath the actress’s designer dress.

Seeing as she’s kept her romantic relationship relatively low profile, many were quick to question who the fashionista’s baby daddy is. We know that he works in the fitness industry. Additionally, the two were together for over a year before Palmer became pregnant.

Today (January 21), Jackson is celebrating his birthday. His partner didn’t hesitate to post a sweet video to commemorate the special occasion. “I can easily write long emotional posts for all my girl’s birthdays, but it’s so cringy writing a birthday post for you,” she joked in her caption.

Palmer went on, “Because the love is so scared. It almost feels asinine to try to share or give a glimpse into something that we could understand. I can share most things so easily, but not you.”

“Happy Birthday to the best Aquarius, Darius, my guy!” she concluded. “Let’s go Birds!”

As the soon-to-be father celebrates his special day, Palmer revealed on the Las Culturistas podcast that she’s feeling “good” in the midst of her third trimester. “I think that my baby is like a warrior or something like that. Because I’ve been good, y’all,” she gushed.

“I’ve had no nausea — like I’ve had moments where I’m like [gagging], where I’ll just be sitting there and it’ll make me feel that way. But I won’t actually throw up, I won’t actually run to the bathroom.”

In other news, Keke Palmer recently thanked Nicki Minaj for assisting her with her iconic maternity photoshoot. Read more about that here, and check back later for more pop culture news updates.

Keke Palmer’s Baby Bump Is On Full Display This Christmas, Darius Jackson Approves

It’s the most wonderful time of the year! While our favourite celebrities are usually too busy to share the intimate details of their lives, the holidays are when many soften up and offer a glimpse into their lavishly decorated homes. The Kardashian family put on an undeniably exuberant display, but other stars like Keke Palmer are keeping things more casual this year.

While hosting Saturday Night Live earlier this month, the Disney Channel alum made a huge announcement. During her opening monologue, she was surprisingly honest with the crowd. “There’s some rumours going around, people have been in my comments saying, ‘Keke’s having a baby, Keke’s pregnant,’ and I wanna set the record straight — I am,” she said.

Immediately, Palmer’s fans reacted in excitement. However, many of them were unaware that she was even in a relationship and wanted to know who her baby’s daddy is.

Presently, the actress is dating Darius Jackson. They’ve been together since the summer of 2021, and though their public comments about each other are few and far between, they’re notably always positive. “I’m glad we were able to help each other throughout our lowest of times,” her man previously wrote on Instagram.

“This is the happiest I’ve ever felt with someone,” Palmer said of the soon-to-be parent’s relationship earlier this year.

On Christmas Eve (December 24), Jackson put a Boomerang on his Instagram Story. In the clip, he kisses the 29-year-old’s pregnant belly. “Mom n Dad,” he wrote above the footage.

For her part, Palmer posted a hilarious IG Reel of her reciting Leora Byrd’s spirited pregnancy monologue. Her baby bump is on full display for followers as she recites along in perfect unison.

“No this sound was meant for you to do it,” Ryan Destiny joked in the comments. “I knew when you ducked down to get into character this was gone be good,” someone else joked.

Keke Palmer Claps Back At Haters Who Attacked Her For Being Makeup-Free

Keke Palmer shocked fans everywhere when she announced her pregnancy while hosting Saturday Night Live over the weekend. 

But after photos of her and her boyfriend recently made the rounds on social media, the actress clapped back at those who criticized her for not wearing makeup.

Photos of Palmer hugging Darius Jackson at a sporting event recently circulated on Twitter, with the Nope star opting for a bare face and red-rimmed glasses while rocking a green jersey.

The 29-year-old confidently shaded her haters in a series of tweets soon after noticing negative comments about her casual look.

“I just saw a few comments of ppl saying I was ugly cause I wasn’t wearing any makeup. And I really want y’all to get the help y’all need because makeup isn’t real,” Palmer posted on Twitter earlier today (Dec. 6) “I’m beautiful in real life, because of who I am, not what I look like.”

Following up with a second tweet, the Akeelah and the Bee actor then made it clear that she isn’t bothered by the online chatter, writing, “I wish I could bottle how I feel about myself and sell it. Because some people take comments to heart and these ppl just say anything. I mean truly it’s insane to say anyone is ugly, but especially me.”

Palmer has often discussed her issues and insecurities surrounding her skin.

In an Instagram video posted this earlier this year, she wondered out loud why plastic surgeons haven’t found a cure for adult acne. 

“Plastic surgeons, y’all wanna know where the real money at? IN CLEARING UP ACNE.” she captioned the clip, sharing it with her 11 million followers. 

“Enough with all the hard work of having to find the PERFECT diet and trying to get an expensive facial every other day,” Palmer continued. “Give us the plastic surgery we’re begging for, and make it possible for black skin as well… I need the dual love.”
