Apparently Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper's performance of "Shallow" at the 2019 Oscars got fans so hot and bothered they assumed someone had to have gotten pregnant.

Well, surprise! The GRAMMY-winning pop star addressed the rumor mill head on with a tweet last night: "Rumors I'm pregnant? Yeah, I'm pregnant with #LG6."

While the Little Monsters will need to figure out who is actually carrying this immaculate conception baby, we can all rejoice in the fact that Gaga has confirmed her sixth studio album is on the way.

Now that the internet's focus has readjusted to Gaga's music, expert sleuths have traced some possible developments about the newly confirmed album

As BuzzFeed pointed out, Gaga has subsequently followed two new users on Instagram, which, for someone who only follows 40 people, is significant. 

Gaga's 39th and 40th follows are none other than GRAMMY-winning pop and fashion icon Rihanna, along with producer BloodPop aka Michael Tucker, who co-produced her fifth studio album, 2016's Joanne. Tucker also retweeted Gaga's "pregnancy" post and shared a screenshot on IG. 

Last month, Gaga, along with her "A Star Is Born" costar Bradley Cooper, earned an armful of new awards to add to her growing collection. At the 61st GRAMMY Awards the pair earned Best Pop Duo/Group Performance for "Shallow," which she accepted with a tearful speech. She also gave an electrifying solo performance of the hit song and took home a GRAMMY for "Joanne (Where Do You Think You're Goin'?)" for Best Pop Solo Performance.

Later, at the 2019 Oscars, the pair earned another win for "Shallow," for Best Original Song, for which Gaga gave another powerful speech. To cap off the experience, Cooper and Gaga also tenderly sang the song alongside each other. 

Check out the performance above, but be careful: Don't get pregnant!

During her emotional acceptance speech the star spoke to the importance of the mental health awareness.

"I'm so proud to be a part of a movie that adresses mental health issues, they're so important. And a lot of artists deal with that, and we gotta take care of each other. So if you see somebody that's hurting, don't look away. And if you're hurting, even though it might be hard, try to find that bravery within yourself to dive deep and go tell somebody," Gaga said.

Other Best Pop Duo/Group Performance nominees were Christina Aguilera and Demi Lovato ("Fall In Line"), Backstreet Boys ("Don't Go Breaking My Heart"), Tony Bennett and Diana Krall ("'S Wonderful"), Maroon 5 and Cardi B ("Girls Like You"), Justin Timberlake and Chris Stapleton ("Say Something") and  Zedd, Maren Morris and Grey ("The Middle").

Gaga has earned nine GRAMMY wins and received 24 nominations to date times.

She won her first two GRAMMYs at the 52nd GRAMMY Awards for Best Dance Recording for "Poker Face" and Best Dance/Electronic Album for The Fame, her debut album. She also made her first GRAMMY stage performance that year, singing a medley that included her "Poker Face" and "Speechless" along with GRAMMY-winning icon Elton John's "Your Song," who joined her onstage for an unforgettable duet.

GRAMMY-nominated pop powerhouse and dancer extraordinaire Jennifer Lopez fittingly wants to celebrate her upcoming 50th birthday, July 24, with music, dancing and all her fans. The Bronx-born star has announced a 25-date tour, her first trek in seven years, kicking off on June 7 in Los Angeles.

The It's My Party tour will then bring her killer moves and infectious energy to other huge venues across North America, including the SAP Center in San Jose, Calif. on June 13, the American Airlines Center in Dallas and the United Center in Chicago on June 29. She will make two stops in Canada, in Toronto on July 7 and Montreal on July 10, followed by a July 12 show at the historic Madison Square Garden in New York. She will hold the final two concerts of the tour in Florida, in Orlando on July 23 and closing out in Miami on July 25.

In the video accompanying her social media announcement, Lopez shared her vision for the tour: "I know I'm going to give them a good show, I know I'm going to make sure that the music feels great, and the flow is right and the set is right. That's what I do…It's a party, baby!"

A press release emphasized that nothing will be held back for J. Lo's birthday extravaganza. The shows will be "a nonstop party mix of Jennifer's new and classic anthems, show-stopping choreography and dancers, dazzling wardrobe, jawdropping technology and set design, and all of the glamour and wow-factor fans have come to expect of Jenny from the Block," it said.

In addition to the excitement of celebrating J. Lo's birthday with the icon herself—fans are already freaking out on Twitter—the tour itself is a big deal. It is her first one since her first major solo tour, the Dance Again World Tour in 2012. Prior to that, she had a joint tour with Marc Anthony in 2007. Lopez' most recent concerts were during her Las Vegas residency, dubbed All I Have, from January 2016– September 2018, during which she performed 120 shows. 

The multifaceted pop star's last LP was her eighth studio album, 2014's A.K.A. She released several singles last year, including the Spanish language "Te Guste" with rising Latin trap star Bad Bunny in November and the bilingual "Dinero" featuring DJ Khaled and Cardi B last May. She has teased a new track, "Medicine," featuring rapper French Montana, due out April 5. 

Tour tickets go on sale Fri., March 29 at 10:00 am local time, with presales beginning March 26; more info here.

Phil Collins Says He's "Still Not Dead Yet," Adds More U.S. Tour Dates

Today, GRAMMY-winning drummer/singer/legend Phil Collins announced the Still Not Dead Yet, Live! 2019 U.S. tour. The British star will begin the 15-date tour leg on Sept. 23 in Dallas and finish out on Oct. 19 in Las Vegas, following the success of his 2018 North American return.

He will perform at large venues in U.S. cities, including several he hasn't been to in a decade or more. The dates include stops in Atlanta on Sept. 28, Madison Square Garden in New York City on Oct. 6 and the new Chase Center in San Francisco, Calif. on Oct. 17, before closing things out in Vegas.

Before returning to the States, Collins will bring the Still Not Dead Yet, Live! to Europe in June. He announced that tour last November, tweeting; "I have rediscovered my passion for music and performing! It's time to do it all again and I'm excited… it just feels right."

The shows follow his successful Not Dead Yet tour, named after his 2016 autobiography, which took him around the world in 2017–2018. The North American leg in Fall 2018 marked his first jaunt in the region in 12 years.

He will be backed by the same band as the last tour, which includes his son Nicholas Collins on drums. The concert's promoter has shared that fans can expect to hear some of his biggest hits over his 40-plus year career, including favorites "Against All Odds," "Another Day in Paradise," "In the Air Tonight" and "Easy Lover."

In October 2016, Collins celebrated the release of the autobiography and his triumphant return with a performance backed by The Roots on "The Tonight Show With Jimmy Fallon." Prior to Not Dead Yet, his last major tour was another coyly named one, The First Final Farewell Tour in 2004–2005.

He has won eight career GRAMMYs, including as a founding member of iconic '80s rock Genesis. 30 years ago, Collin's released his fourth solo studio album, 1989's …But Seriously. The album had four hit songs, including "Another Day In Paradise," which earned him Record Of The Year at the 33rd GRAMMY Awards.

Tickets for his 2019 U.S. tour go on sale Fri., March 30, with presales beginning the day prior; more info here.
