The couple welcomed Baby Luna Simone just a few days ago. "We’re not going to go out of our way to hide because obviously it’s such a big part of our lives to show everything: the inside of our homes, my parents living with us, our animals, everything," the then-pregnant model said. We expect more adorable photos of the now family of three ASAP. (people.com) 


3. COMELEC allows mall polls for select voters
More than 230,000 votes will be casting their ballots in select malls this coming May 9. According to Comelec chairman Andres Bautista, the commission is allowed to designate other polling places aside from schools which serve as polling areas to decongest and provide an easier and better voting experience to help increase ballot turnout. Persons with disabilities and senior citizens will be prioritized in 86 mall voting precincts located at SM Supermalls, Ayala Malls, Robinsons Malls, Gaisano Grand Malls, Megaworld Lifestyle Malls, Pacific Malls/Metro Gaisano, WalterMart Community Malls, and Fisher Mall.

4. A '90's iconic toy gets a makeup line

Remember those part-adorable, part-creepy Good Luck Troll dolls, with long, spikey, bold-colored hair? Well, they have inspired a new makeup line by MAC. The MAC Good Luck Trolls line will feature four lippies, including a rich-blue matte dubbed "Midnight Troll", lip glosses ("Bubble Butt" and "Twerkquoise", anyone?), and eye shadow. It's not a coincidence that MAC is launching this Trolls-inspired crazy-hued makeup line this August. The new Dreamworks Animation movie Trolls, featuring the voices of Anna Kendrick, Justin Timberlake, James Corden, Gwen Stefani, and Russell Brand, will open in theaters later this year.
