Hasta La Gadget!

John Legend is loving fatherhood.

Appearing on “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert” on Tuesday, the singer gushed over his 1-year-old daughter, Luna.

“It’s a different kind of love. It’s very pure. It’s unconditional,” he said. “But they haven’t earned it yet. They didn’t do anything. They just exist,” he joked.

When Colbert asked Legend about the the first time he held Luna, the artist got sentimental.

“It’s beautiful, it’s very emotional, and it brings you and your wife closer together,” he said. “It’s a very powerful feeling to see the product of your love right there in front of you.”

Since becoming parents last April, Legend and his wife, Chrissy Teigen, have been very open about their wild ride.

During his “Late Show” appearance, the dad spoke about how having a child changed their perspective on their own parents and how much they loved them. 

“Chrissy says, ‘If (our children) don’t want to come have dinner with us when we’re old and they don’t want to hang out or call us, I’m gonna be so sad,’” he said. “We put so much love into this.”

During the show, Legend also did a segment called “John Legend Makes Mundane Things Sound Sexy,” in which he sang about everyday tasks that parents know all too well ― like doing laundry and going to Costco. And of course, made them sound sexy.

John Legend is totally … legendary.

Uber may have the higher valuation, but Lyft is trouncing it in the PR game.

Starting May 1, Lyft riders will have the option of rounding up their fares to the nearest dollar and donating the proceeds to charity.

The ride-hailing company first announced the program last month, revealing Thursday that it will funnel its first month’s donations to the United Service Organization, a nonprofit that supports members of the U.S. armed forces.

A company spokesperson told HuffPost they selected the USO because 10 percent of Lyft drivers are veterans. May is also Military Appreciation Month.

Lyft says it will add more organizations in the future, enabling riders to pitch in and select causes from “climate change to the pursuit of equality.” The program will roll out on Android first, with iOS coming soon. Users will have to opt in by selecting “Round Up & Donate” under the “Settings” tab: 

Lyft’s PR wins ― coupled with Uber’s numerous missteps ― are turning into real-world gains for the company.

Documents obtained by Bloomberg show Lyft’s ridership more than doubled in the first quarter of this year, compared to the same period last year (though Lyft, like Uber, is still losing money).

And earlier this month, the company raised an additional $500 million in funding at a valuation of around $7 billion. At the same time, Uber’s far-larger valuation has reportedly tumbled from a high near $70 billion to a “mere” $50 billion.

Despite Lyft’s gains, however, Uber remains the undisputed ride-hailing champion. Based on Bloomberg’s first-quarter data, Lyft’s annual run rate sits at just over $3 billion ― Uber’s is more than six times that.

We’ve known for a long time that Representative Maxine Waters (D-CA) is full of moxie, but, if this is any indication, the 78-year-old has no intention of stopping her parade of badassery.

In an interview with Yahoo News’ Bianna Golodryga, Waters was asked for her reaction to President Donald Trump’s tax plan. 

“We don’t know what it means… It does not have any specificity. It does not have any details,” she said. “We don’t know what he’s talking about. And don’t forget: you can’t trust this president. When he comes out with one thing, he’ll change the next day.”

Waters cited Trump’s flip-flopping about NAFTA and his position on China as examples. She said that Trump initially called China “currency manipulators” and then delivered a fantastic burn:

“He had chocolate cake with President Xi and, all of the sudden, they are not currency manipulators.”

Waters is referring to Trump having a staunch stance about Chinese currency manipulation during his campaign, which he changed right after meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping… when they ate, according to Trump IS THAT CORRECT?, the “most beautiful piece of chocolate cake that you’ve ever seen.”

As R. Eric Thomas said in Elle RECENTLY? about her, Rep. Waters is “fresh out of mercy” and “trying to single-handedly strap this country to her back and carry it to safety.” We can only hope she keeps on keepin’ on with burns like these.
