THE OTHER STUFF . . .
MacKenzie Bezos is taking her half of her nearly $37 billion divorce settlement with Jeff Bezos, and giving it all away ... to charity. MacKenzie announced on Tuesday morning she was signing The Giving Pledge ... vowing to donate at least $17 billion. She became the 3rd richest woman in the world when she and the Amazon founder made their divorce official less than 2 months ago -- so she wasted almost no time deciding what to do with her fortune. Her decision to join the likes of Bill and Melinda Gates and Warren Buffett in signing The Giving Pledge -- aside from being incredibly generous -- also puts her ex-husband in a conspicuous position. Jeff had been widely criticized, as recently as last year, for not signing the Pledge. He's the only billionaire among the top 5 richest Americans to NOT sign it. MacKenzie signing so quickly after the divorce makes it seem like, she wanted to all along. BTW, Buffet has already pledged more than $45 billion, and Melinda and Bill are forking over $46 bil. As you know, MacKenzie and Jeff announced their split back in January, when Jeff went public about his relationship with TV host Lauren Sanchez. The divorce was hammered out in record time -- considering they were divvying up the world's largest fortune -- and in April they reached the settlement. In her letter, MacKenzie wrote, "My approach to philanthropy will continue to be thoughtful. It will take time and effort and care. But I won't wait. And I will keep at it until the safe is empty." The "I won't wait" ... sure seems like a message to someone whose name might rhyme with Schmeff Schmezos. (TMZ)

Here's How Many Kids Behati Prinsloo Says Adam Levine Wants. Behati Prinsloo and Adam Levine are the proud parents to Dusty Rose Levine and Gio Grace Levine, and it looks like the celebrity couple already has plans to grow their family of four. The supermodel discussed the possibility of having more kids on Tuesday's episode of The Ellen DeGeneres Show. While Prinsloo says her Maroon 5 hubby would like to have a total of five kids, she's not so sure this will be the final number. "I thought I wanted five, but now I think three or four will be good," she says. Ellen DeGeneres then teases the mother of two about "backing up" her count. "Just by one," Prinsloo says. "Adam can't have everything. I'm carrying them." If the two stars decide to have more children, they can always turn to DeGeneres for baby names. After all, the celebrities credit the TV host with coming up with their firstborn's moniker. According to Levine, who told the story back in 2016, the two originally had a different name in mind for their first daughter; however, they scratched it off the list after the Grammy winner had texted the moniker to DeGeneres and she told him she hated it. The comedienne then sent Levine a few suggestions and one of them happened to be "Dusty." However, Prinsloo wasn't sold on it right away. "I was like, 'Dusty? My parents are going to think it's like a piece of dust,'" she recalls. But as time went on, the name grew on Prinsloo. "As the months went by and the belly grew and the name came in and out, she was born and she was a Dusty -- thanks to Ellen," she said. In addition to discussing her children, Prinsloo opens up about Save the Rhino Trust Namibia and the work she's doing with the organization, which aims to help protect black rhinos. (Eonline)
