  • Elon Musk’s celeb ex eviscerates X after taking a social media break

    Elon Musk’s celeb ex eviscerates X after taking a social media break

    Singer Grimes slammed X, the social media platform owned by her ex Elon Musk , as a really ‘dark’ place in a message calling out the ills of social media.

    The 37-year-old returned to social media on Monday after downscaling her Internet usage and was clearly rattled by what she saw on her feed. 

    She took to X – formerly Twitter – to share her thoughts about what she perceived to be a ‘great harm’ being caused to society. 

    ‘I’ve been way more offline lately, tried all the apps for a bit yesterday and man! It’s rly dark on here!’ she began on X on Tuesday. 

    ‘I think it’s very unhealthy to be on social media, it feels like a ghost town of depression, bitterness and pictures of beautiful women doing sext things I feel like this is a massive moral failure of all the apps. And it’s causing great harm to society.’

    Grimes has a deep link to social media herself as the mother of three of Musk’s children. She dated Musk on-off for four years before their split in March 2022, a month before he submitted a $44 billion offer to acquire Twitter.

    His purchase was made official in October 2022 and his takeover saw him layoff much of the platforms staff and rename the company to X. 

    In follow-up responses with X followers responding to her initial post, Grimes claimed social media provided a space for individuals to fight over ‘fake problems’ and theorized her feed was populated with it’s current content due to her own activity. 

    When an X user replied to Grimes initial post with ‘it’s a battlefield,’ the singer said: ‘Not rly. Everyone’s fighting over fake problems while they don’t notice the existential ones.

    ‘When in reality they won’t even solve those issues they might pass some legislation that will solve it that might be overturned later but most of them don’t even look into the politics, don’t even know how they work, and r just angry someone thinks differently from them which will always happen.

    ‘If it’s a battlefield it’s in one’s mind against oneself I feel.’

    After another user said they tried posting only a particular topic that made them happy, she replied: ‘Maybe it reacts to posts and I’ve posted too much politically. Yes I’ve been trying to come here for history/tech/phil rly only.’ 

    Grimes recently opened up about her relationship with X during a February interview with Time, revealing she hadn’t been using the platform in some time.  

    ‘I’ve actually been mostly off besides a couple days since the end of January or something,’ she explained.

    ‘It’s just where all the cutting-edge news is, and all my friends use it, and the AI stuff. And it’s good to keep track of the political stuff. Ultimately, I don’t know. I love to debate. I like getting in fights. They hate me less on Twitter than everywhere else.’ 

    Grimes is the mother to three of Musk’s 13 children – four-year-old X AE A-XII, three-year-old Exa, and two-year-old Techno.

    The songstress has had an ongoing battle with the so-called First Buddy over the care of their children.

    Most recently, Grimes said she has ‘begged’ the DOGE chief and ‘tried legal recourse’ to keep their children away from the White House and out of the spotlight as X AE A-XII was repeatedly pictured in the Oval Office and at CPAC.

    ‘I have tried begging the public and my kids dad to keep them offline, and I’ve tried legal recourse,’ Grimes wrote on the social media platform owned by her ex in March. 

    Her remarks came in response to a thread criticizing her response to protecting children from online discourse, with X users saying she should be protecting her children from online trolls.

    ‘I unfortunately do not control the internet and cannot wipe this from the internet,’ the singer said.

    ‘I’ve seen young ppl destroyed by the internet too. The state of my children’s lives being public is of grave concern to me and I think about how to solve this every day.

    ‘It’s insane to me that there’s no way to deal with this. I would hope there was some law that would allow a parent to veto small children from living public lives but I don’t even trust the law to help me now if I tried to invoke it tbh.’

    In her interview with Time in February, Grimes also shared her desire for her son’s high-profile appearances to end as soon as possible.

    ‘I would really like people to stop posting images of my kid everywhere,’ she told the publication. ‘I think fame is something you should consent to.’

    Just a few days before the interview was published, Grimes also sent a panicked X message to Musk about one of their child’s ‘medical crisis.’

    ‘Plz respond about our child’s medical crisis,’ she wrote to her ex. ‘I am sorry to do this publicly but it is no longer acceptable to ignore this situation. This requires immediate attention.’

    Grimes added that Musk didn’t even have to respond to her but could contact her through a third party.

    ‘If you don’t want to talk to me can you please designate or hire someone who can so that we can move forward on solving this. This is urgent, Elon.’

    After Techno was born, Grimes sued Musk in September 2023 over parental rights to their children in a California court. Musk allegedly fought to keep the hearing closed, asking for the documents to be sealed.

    She claimed that Musk was withholding access to her kids and even prevented them from seeing their terminally ill maternal grandmother.

    Musk then sued for for custody of the children he shares with Grimes in Texas, where his businesses are headquartered.

    A Travis County Clerk has since confirmed that the Texas dispute had been settled, but declined to give further details.

    Grimes, though, claimed the ordeal almost left her ‘bankrupt’ and unable to make new music.

  • Cardi B gives rare glimpse of her and ex Offset’s baby daughter amid ugly divorce

    Cardi B gives rare glimpse of her and ex Offset’s baby daughter amid ugly divorce

    Cardi B gave her 163 million Instagram followers a rare peek at her seven-month-old daughter on Saturday.

    The 32-year-old music artist — who recently accused ex Offset of harassment — used the app’s Stories feature to tease a brief video clip with her youngest child.

    The mom-of-three, who shares Kulture, six, Wave, three, and her baby with the 33-year-old Migos rapper, rested in bed with the little one nuzzled on her chest.

    She wrote across the dimly lit outtake, ‘Look how she cuddles under me… my little [flower emoji].’

    Cardi — who just showed off her curves at Coachella — has yet to reveal her baby girl’s name, though fans are convinced it’s Blossom, or something similar.

    Cardi, real name Belcalis Almánzar, claimed weeks ago in an explosive social media rant that Offset has harassed and threatened to kill her amid their contentious divorce.

    The Bodak Yellow hitmaker filed for divorce from the Atlanta-raise hip-hop artist last July.

    In late March she used X, the app formerly known as Twitter, to also allege that Offset has gotten bloggers to ‘troll’ her.

    She threatened to ‘expose f***ing everything’ if she didn’t get an apology from her on-off spouse, claiming, ‘He’s upset because I sent his girlfriend messages of him begging me, saying he was going to take away his life, saying he was going to take away my life.’

    The former Love & Hip-Hop star alleged that her ex — real name Kiari Cephus — ‘harasses me, leaves me voicemails, and tries to lower my self-esteem.’

    Following her split from Offset last year, she has been romantically linked to Houston Texans wide receiver Stefon Diggs, and she claimed that the rapper has tried to interfere with her love life. 

    ‘He sent a text message to somebody I was dealing with of us having sex,’ she accused him during the sound off. ‘You’ve been harassing me and the man I’ve been dealing with for months.’

    At another point, Cardi also accused Offset of getting bloggers to troll and spread rumors about her on social media.

    It comes weeks after Offset requested joint legal custody of the former couple’s three children.

    Despite the request, legal documents reviewed by TMZ revealed that he does, however, think Cardi’s home should be the kids’ primary residence.

    The hitmaker also wants the court to outline each parent’s child support responsibilities.

    Furthermore, he asked that the exes’ marital assets be divided by the court, and that each party pay their respective legal fees.

    Offset and Cardi’s tumultuous relationship has been off and on for years, and last summer was the third time she filed for divorce.

    She announced her third pregnancy on August 1, one day after she filed to dissolve her marriage with Cephus.

  • Twin brothers reveal insane amount of money they made from incestuous kiss on OnlyFans

    Twin brothers reveal insane amount of money they made from incestuous kiss on OnlyFans

    Twin brothers have revealed how much money they made for incestuously kissing each other on OnlyFans.

    Siblings Alex ‘Flyysoulja’ and Franky ‘Kodiyakredd’ Venegas, who are popular social media stars and musicians known online as The Island Boys, both 23, first shot to fame in 2021 when a clip of them singing went viral on X, formerly Twitter.

    After racking up millions of followers from the video, the siblings joined OnlyFans and eventually filmed a shocking video of themselves locking lips on the subscription-based site.

    The clip sent shockwaves across the internet and sparked widespread backlash, but now, one of the brothers bragged about the seven figures that he earned from the sordid stunt.

    At a press conference to promote his MMA cage fight in Miami, Kodiyakredd claimed that he made ‘millions of dollars’ from smooching his twin. 

    According to LadBible, he then clarified that the stunt had earned him a whopping $6 million, while his twin walked away with $8 million.

    The brothers previously admitted that they only kissed each other to go viral and earn money.

    Kodiyakredd has also said that he ‘regretted’ the kiss.

    ‘I was in a very vulnerable state. I didn’t want to do the kissing thing,’ he told The Wild Podcast back in February.

    ‘I didn’t want to admit that I only had $40,000 to my name,’ he added.

    He previously defended the stunt back in 2023, saying, ‘We’re twin brothers, we came out of the womb together, we grew up together. It’s not really disgusting if it’s twins.’

    He added, ‘We kind of just made out or whatever, we kissed and then we just like look the other way for a few minutes and couldn’t like, look at each other, but it wasn’t that big of a deal – just a kiss.’ 

    It comes after Kodiyakredd was arrested yet again, this time, on drug and gun charges in Naples, Florida.

    The 23-year-old rapper was booked into the Collier County Sheriff’s Office in February and charged with possession of a controlled substance without a prescription as well as possession of an altered firearm – according to TMZ.

    Venegas and his brother Alex aka Flyysoulja went viral in 2021 for their song I'm An Island Boy, which has amassed 25M views on YouTube

    It’s unclear what led up to his latest arrest, but it comes only nine months after he attempted to pretend to be his twin brother Flyysoulja in order to get out of a reckless driving charge. 

    Kodiyakredd – famed for his ‘wick’ vertical dreadlocks hairstyle – had been allegedly speeding inside a Fort Lauderdale parking lot in his yellow Corvette Stingray on May 24.

    The heavily-tattooed zoomer spent the night in Broward County Jail and paid $800 bond after being charged with driving without a valid license, giving a false ID, and reckless driving. 

    He was previously arrested for domestic battery in 2023 for allegedly slapping his girlfriend and pushing her into a shallow pool, which injured her chin at a Pompano Beach Airbnb.

    But the misdemeanor case was dropped by prosecutors just 10 days later. 

    Kodiyakredd was also accused of domestic abuse by his ex Montaisha Shanell in 2022, but no charges were filed.

    That same year, the siblings’ home was raided by a SWAT team looking for their childhood friend Andrew James Thomas, who was wanted on first-degree murder with firearm charges after eight-year-old Ronziyah ‘Biggs’ Atkins was killed during a drive-by shooting.

    Franky’s long rap sheet also includes robbery, burglary, and car theft.

    Venegas and his brother Flyysoulja went viral in 2021 for their song I’m An Island Boy, which has amassed 25million views on YouTube.

    The TikTok star currently commands $20 on Cameo and boasts millions of followers across multiple social media platforms.

  • Ben Affleck recreates viral ‘sad Affleck’ smoking meme after ex J-Lo’s sizzling red carpet return

    Ben Affleck recreates viral ‘sad Affleck’ smoking meme after ex J-Lo’s sizzling red carpet return

    It’s been more than eight years since the first ‘sad Affleck’ smoking meme went viral, which would only just be the beginning of the fan craze.

    Now, in the wake of his recent divorce from Jennifer Lopez being finalized, the actor and director looks to have recreated it once again while seemingly miserable during a smoke break from shooting his new film Animals in Los Angeles.

    In one photo he flashes an unimpressed look, with a cigarette hanging on his lips as he leaned next to a sign that reads: ‘No food. No drinks. No smoking inside. Water only.’

    Working double duty as the lead actor and director for the crime thriller, Affleck is also seen talking to crew members dressed in a gray fleece and t-shirt with blue jeans, and at times looking pained.

    In comparison, the original ‘sad Affleck’ smoking meme, which dates back to August 2016 in London, showed him a blue sweater and blue jeans, appearing miserable or exhausted with his eyes closed and a cigarette in his right hand.

    The photograph was originally published by the news outlet The Cut as part of a photo series that showed Affleck smoking, vaping, and looking to be in a bad mood.

    The actor and director looked sad and pained smoking a cigarette in LA, more than eights years later

    Now, in the wake of his recent divorce from Jennifer Lopez being finalized, the actor and director looks to have recreated it once again while seemingly miserable during a smoke break from shooting his new film Animals in Los Angeles 

    After the photograph went viral, meme creators started pairing it with captions that matched Affleck’s low-energy expression. 

    Soon after, the meme format started to spread on the likes of Twitter, Instagram, Tumblr, and Reddit, as well as other platforms popular with meme creators.

    The first known internet user to make a meme with the Ben Affleck smoking photo was a Twitter user named @disparate, who likened him to a Literally Me character, according to Know Your Meme (KYM).

    Once it began to circulate, the meme just took off, predominantly peaking in usage in mid-2019.

    While not always seen smoking a cigarette, various photos and videos of the two-time Oscar winner with a sad look on his face have been circulating over the years, some of which in celebration of that original sad-Affleck meme.

    Most of the snaps come from paparazzi, but fans have also noticed how Affleck can’t hide his mood even during interviews and public appearances over the years.

    During one interview for the DC Comics blockbuster film Batman V Superman: Dawn Of Justice in 2016 Affleck had a noticeably sad look on his face while co-star Henry Cavill answered a question.

    The Good Will Hunting star and co-writer has previously commented on the ‘Sad Affleck’ memes, simply saying: ‘People are projecting something onto me that I don’t feel at all. I just have a calm, hard face,’ as reported by blue News.

    In early 2022, Ben reflected on the popular memes during an interview with the Los Angeles Times – and its effect on his three children he shares with ex-wife Jennifer Garner.

    ‘I got to a place where [the public perception] was so different from who I am that I just stopped reading and stopped caring.’

    He continued, ‘But then, as my kids got older and started seeing the internet themselves, that’s the difficult part. Even the “Sad Affleck” meme – that was funny to me. I mean, there’s nobody who hasn’t felt that way at a junket.’

    ‘But then my kids see it and I think, “Oh, are they going to think their dad is fundamentally sad or they have to worry about me?” That’s really tough.’  

    With production now in its fourth week, Animals also stars Gillian Anderson, Kerry Washington, Steven Yeun, Luis Gerardo Méndez, Adriana Paz, Ray Fisher, Mark Kassen, and Christopher Woodley.

    Affleck plays a mayoral candidate whose son is kidnapped, and while trying to get the random money sorted, family secrets are revealed.

    After the sad-Affleck smoking meme began to circulate, the meme just took off, going viral, and peaking in usage in mid-2019; he is seen in a later photo from June 2022

    The production began two weeks after his much-publicized divorce from Jennifer Lopez was finalized, following a 10 month separation.

    The former couple have both since come out and made public comments, with Affleck most recently describing his second split from Lopez as ’embarrassing.’

    TLC’s new reality show featuring two married couples in one relationship branded ‘gross’ by outraged fans

    TLC is introducing another alternative lifestyle show to the masses with their new show Polyfamily, that explores the dynamic between two married couples in a closed quad relationship.

    But viewers of the network – formerly known as The Learning Channel – believe they may have gone too far with some slamming the premise as ‘gross.’ 

    One commenter on X (formerly Twitter), even went so far as to as to rage: ‘TLC is the Antichrist.’ 

    Another wrote, ‘No. Y’all are getting grosser and grosser,’ while a third said, ‘This is the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard.’

    Someone else wrote, ‘I hope Gen Z puts a stop to this nonsense…Gen X / millennials took it too far,’ while another quipped, ‘Read the room. We’re kinda over this crap.’

    The new show, which premieres in April, focuses its attention on married couples Sean and Taya and Tyler and Alysia. They just happen to be dating each others’ spouses.

    ‘Taya’s my wife and Alysia’s my girlfriend,’ Sean said as Tyler chimed in, ‘And vice versa. Alysia’s my wife and Taya’s my girlfriend.’

    Sean, who has been married to Taya for six years, explained in the trailer, ‘We are a closed polyamorous quad. 

    ‘A closed quad is four people. We’re only dating within ourselves and married within ourselves. We don’t have any outside partners.’

    A press release from TLC stated ‘In addition to the complex parenting dynamics, dating each other’s partners is not without its share of emotional challenges.’

    Alysia and Tyler have been married for 11 years and had a son and a daughter before joining Sean and Taya’s closed quad. 

    ‘We never set out to live our lives like this, but we realized we could love more than one person and make our own rules as to what we want our family to look like,’ she said.

    Since becoming a polyfamily, the couples have welcomed two more sons and another baby is on the way.

    ‘Since the guys switch rooms every night, we don’t know who the fathers of the younger boys are,’ Taya, who is pregnant with her second baby, reveals in the trailer.

    Tyler said that ‘we wonder sometimes’ who the father of the younger children is, but admitted, ‘Finding out could cause a lot of hurt.’

    Other commenters were curious about the series with one opining, ‘I’m gonna check it out, but it would probably get better ratings if they had cast better looking people.

    Someone else wrote, ‘Count me in! I already have a bunch of opinions lol the bald guy needs to check himself.’

    ‘Isn’t TLC supposed to be The Learning Channel and family friendly?’ another person wrote. ‘What are they teaching? Monogamy is not normal?’

    They continued: ‘Don’t get me wrong, I’ll be watching but curious.’

    Another wondered, ‘With all these throuples, seeking sister wife, brother husbands, etc. shows. How can I get my own show for being in a monogamous relationship/marriage for going on 12 years?

    ‘That’s what people should be watching and giving publicity to.’ 

    It is not all romance and laughter for the two couples in the closed quad. In fact, Sean and Tyler do not get along.

     ‘We live together, we have mutual partners and we parent together,’ Sean says in the trailer about his relationship with Tyler.

    ‘But if we weren’t in this situation, we probably wouldn’t be friends.’

    Taya and Alysia also have their issues and jealousy does come to the surface from time to time. 

    Alysia confesses in the trailer that she does get ‘jealous’ over Taya and Tyler’s romance, because she says ‘it almost looks like they’re more in love than him and I.’

    Taya also stirs things up, admitting at the end of the trailer, ‘I have something to share. 

    ‘I feel like I have a connection with someone else,’she confesses, which throws off the group with Tyler saying that complicates things. 

    ‘It’s complicated to bring someone else in. We’re not closed anymore at that point. We’re just not,’ Tyler said, while Alysia confessed, ‘I don’t know where we go from here.’

  • Halle Bailey’s ex DDG claims he has been ‘fighting to see’ their son Halo, one, for ‘months’

    Halle Bailey’s ex DDG claims he has been ‘fighting to see’ their son Halo, one, for ‘months’

    Halle Bailey’s rapper ex DDG claimed he has been ‘fighting’ for ‘months’ to see their son Halo, one, in a bombshell tweet he has since deleted.

    The former couple, who welcomed their baby three days before Christmas 2023, were together for three years before their split last October.

    Initially, they appeared to have developed an amicable co-parenting equation, even celebrating their son’s first birthday together.

    However their relations appear to have deteriorated since, with DDG alleging that when he and Halle are on less than ‘perfect terms,’ she denies him access to Halo.

    Writing on X, formerly Twitter, he fumed this Friday: ‘been fighting to see my son for months now… shout to to all the Dads who try their best to be there. this s*** sucks.’

    Although he deleted the tweet, he soon began one of his daily livestreams and doubled down on his accusations, threatening to take the matter to court.

    DailyMail.com has reached out to representatives for Halle and DDG for comment. 

    Halle Bailey’s ex DDG claims he has been ‘fighting to see’ their son Halo, one, for ‘months’

    Halle Bailey’s rapper ex DDG claimed he has been ‘fighting’ for ‘months’ to see their son Halo, one, in a bombshell tweet he has since deleted 

    He claimed he did not ‘wanna get on the internet, ‘cause at the end of the day, this is something that can really f*** with him,’ referring to Halo.

    ‘But I’m really just coming on this mother***er as just a dad that really don’t know what to do at this point. I been trying for – I been dealing with it since he’s been born, damn near,’ claimed DDG, whose real name is Darryl Granberry.

    ‘I really feel like I’m a f***ing nanny at this point. The nanny has been able to have my son more than me, and I don’t even know the nanny name.’

    He insisted: ‘It’s just not fair, bro, so I have to come on here and I gotta do this s***, but I gotta do it like this,’ adding that he now had to ‘go to court, do all this extra s*** when it ain’t gotta be like that, bro.’

    Reminding his audiences that he does daily livestreams, he declared with obvious exasperation that ‘everyday I don’t see my son imma number it. Let’s see. I know she gonna let me see my son now. This the only way.’ 

    At another point in the stream, DDG said: ‘Behind closed doors, I have not been able to see my son. Only if we on good – if we on perfect terms and she around, it’s cool, but if we not, I don’t get to see him.’

    He insisted: ‘Every time I’m there, he got a smile on his face, he happy to see me, but he only can see me for no more than 48 hours. I haven’t had to have my son to myself for longer than than 72 hours max.’

    DDG added: ‘And he’s getting picked up, taken away, I can’t come get him, whatever. It’s like I don’t know what to do at this point. I genuinely don’t know what to do.’

    Although he deleted the tweet, he soon began one of his daily livestreams and doubled down on his allegations, threatening to take the matter to court

    Halle and DDG announced their split this past October when Halo was 10 months old but did not publicly elaborate on the reasons for their breakup.

    The following month, their co-parenting disputes burst into the public eye when Halle publicly slammed DDG for showing the baby on a livestream without her go-ahead.

    ”Hi everyone. Just so you know I am out of town and I don’t approve of my baby being on a stream tonight,’ she wrote in a since-deleted tweet. 

    ‘I wasn’t told or notified and I am extremely upset to have my baby in front of millions of people,’ the The Little Mermaid actress shared. ‘I am his mother and protector and saddened that I wasn’t notified especially when I am out of town.’ 

    She then posted and deleted a follow-up tweet that said: ‘As a woman experiencing severe postpartum, there are boundaries that I wish to be respected. no one knows what someone is going through until they snap.’

    A day later, after receiving a deluge of backlash online, she appeared to walk back her initial outburst and acknowledge she had perhaps gone too far.

    ‘Yesterday maybe I did overreact and shouldn’t have brought it here. I know that Halo is always safe with his dad. I just don’t like finding out with the rest of the world what my baby is doing,’ said the 24-year-old songstress.

    She continued to get blowback for litigating her co-parenting issues in the public square, and eventually DDG leapt to her defense on a livestream.

    ‘One thing I don’t like when people do, I don’t like when people hate on Halle,’ he said. ‘I don’t care if people think she wrong or not, or if I think she wrong or right.’

    The Michigan-born rapper noted: ‘She could be going through something mentally after having a kid that I can’t understand as a man.’ 

  • Kanye West raises eyebrows with cryptic Trump post

    Kanye West raises eyebrows with cryptic Trump post

    Kanye West raised eyebrows with his tweets about President Donald Trump’s address to Congress on Tuesday in a series of tweets to his 33.3 million followers on the platform.

    The Runaway artist, 47, posted a shot of the chamber with the caption, ‘TRUMPS ADDRESS.’

    West later tweeted: ‘WOKENESS IS BAD WOKENESS IS TROUBLE ITS GONE THANK YOU PRESIDENT TRUMP.’

    Dailymail.com has reached out to West’s rep Milo Yiannopoulos for comment on the rapper’s current standing with Trump and Elon Musk. 

    The remarks come weeks after West’s  latest expansion of his swastika T-shirt line was condemned by multiple groups, including the Anti-Defamation League, who characterized the rapper’s X posts as ‘unacceptable and downright dangerous.’

    The Flashing Lights artist last month posted another shock stream of posts, showcasing a new set of shirts and logos emblazoned with swastikas to his 33.3 million followers on the platform.

    West was unabashed in his latest line of Nazi-inspired couture – a collection of long and short-sleeve tops in black, white and red with swastikas in the center, adding that the product was ‘coming in crispy.’

    The ‘crispy’ line was ostensibly a reference to Holocaust extermination camps where Jewish people were gassed and incinerated.

    ADL CEO and National Director Jonathan Greenblatt told Dailymail.com exclusively in response on Monday, ‘There is no excuse – none – for praising Hitler. Glorifying a genocidal dictator with swastika merch is not “edgy” or “controversial.” 

    ‘When someone with Kanye’s influence spreads Nazi glorification, it emboldens extremists. It’s unacceptable and downright dangerous.’

    The 24-time Grammy winner himself modeled the shirts in wearing a black t-shirt with silver swastika with the caption, ‘never mention money.’

    The Dark Fantasy performer also posted a Nazi-inspired logo he created for himself and wife Bianca Censori, 30, who raised eyebrows earlier this month when she took off her coat on the red carpet of the Grammy awards to reveal the sheerest of bodysuits.

    The American Jewish Committee referred Dailymail.com to a statement in which they acknowledged West’s ‘anti-Jewish hatred’ in his social media posts – and the ‘dangerous influence they can have on his millions of followers, particularly on social media, where a significant portion of today’s antisemitism thrives.’

    Said the AJC: ‘Hate, left unchecked, only multiplies. At a time when antisemitism is skyrocketing to terrifying levels worldwide, Ye is actively endangering Jews. 

    ‘We urge others with a platform like Ye’s – particularly in the entertainment industry – to call out this blatant hatred.’

    It was not immediately clear if any of the latest tweets – which the Black Skinhead artist subsequently deleted Saturday – violated X/Twitter’s stated ‘Violent and hateful entities policy.’

    X/Twitter owner Elon Musk personally addressed the controversy surrounding West’s account posts earlier this month after the rapper posted a series of racist, sexist and misogynistic remarks during the weekend of the Super Bowl before temporarily deactivating his account.

    ‘Given what he has posted, his account is now classified as NSFW [not safe for work],’ Musk, 53, said February 10. ‘You should not be seeing that anymore.’ 

    West wrote at the time he deactivated his account, ‘I’m logging out of Twitter. I appreciate Elon for allowing me to vent. It has been very cathartic to use the world as a sounding board.’ 

    West on Monday complained that his account was being shadow banned by X/Twitter staff amid his torrent of tweets.

    ‘To the staff at X,’ West said, ‘Shadow banning me every 2 days is not freedom of speech.’ 

    The Can’t Tell Me Nothing artist subsequently posted a homophobic slur in a tweet complaining about the state of American culture.

    He wrote: ‘If people woke I must be sleep. Wake me up when y’all done with all this f***** s***.’

    After the tweet was removed within two minutes, West complained that the site was censoring him.

    He vowed to quit the platform yet again, comparing himself to NBA icon Michael Jordan.

    ‘I quit Twitter for now,’ he said. ‘They just deleted my last tweet. Jordan leaving the NBA.’

    West has remained in the crosshairs of controversy for much of the month amid a torrent of tweets propagating antisemitism, and the proliferation of his swastika-emblazoned fashion items.

    On February 11, the shop on West’s Yeezy Website – which he advertised with an expensive ad in certain markets during the Super Bowl broadcast – was taken offline by Shopify after he was selling a white shirt with a black swastika in the center. 

    West on Thursday promised to wear a swastika shirt onstage at Super Bowl LX, which takes place February 8, 2026 in Santa Clara, California. 

    ‘Next year I’m performing at the superbowl wearing my wittle T shirt,’ said West, whose number one hits include 2024’s Carnival and 2005’s Gold Digger. 

    He added, ‘People with money bought my wittle t shirt.’

    The Chicago native continued with the antisemitic sentiments despite a recent set of personal complications stemming from his outspoken views on Jewish people. 

    ‘I TRULY LIKE JEWISH PEOPLE,’ West said Saturday. ‘THEY [JUST] CAN NO LONGER BE THE CREATIVE DIRECTORS OF THE PLANET … THEY ARE THE BULLYS… NO IM THE BULLY.’ 

    They included a row with Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy; and reports of his views spurring tension between ex-wife Kim Kardashian, who he shares four children with, and her sister Kourtney’s baby’s father, Scott Disick.

    West – who was seen on The Kardashians on Hulu last week – is father to four children with ex-wife Kim Kardashian, 44.

    The controversial race-related remarks comes after insiders told Dailymail.com earlier this month that Disick, 41, has been upset with Kim for not publicly condemning her ex-husband’s recent remarks via her massive platforms.

    Disick, who shares three children with Kim’s older sister Kourtney, 45, ‘was raised Jewish and the fact that Kim has not denounced Kanye West’s hateful anti-Semitic remarks absolutely infuriates him,’ a source told Dailymail.com.

    Disick ‘has had it with Kanye and takes personal offense to his attack on the Jewish community,’ the source continued.

    West began speaking publicly about his disdain for Jewish people in the fall of 2022. 

    On October 3, 2022, West and and conservative commentator Candace Owens garnered controversy while donning tops that read ‘White Lives Matter’ during a Paris Fashion Week showcase for his Yeezy line.

    West faced restrictions on his social media sites after he tweeted October 8, 2022: ‘I’m a bit sleepy tonight but when I wake up I’m going death con 3 On JEWISH PEOPLE … ‘

    ‘The funny thing is I actually can’t be Anti Semitic because black people are actually Jew also … you guys have toyed with me and tried to black ball anyone whoever opposes your agenda.’

    The professional fallout to West’s repeated antisemitic statements included Adidas cutting their ties with him October 25, 2022 over his conduct.

    West brought white nationalist Nick Fuentes (pictured in Boston in 2016) to Mar-a-Lago in Florida for a meal with President Donald Trump

    West brought white nationalist Nick Fuentes (pictured in Boston in 2016) to Mar-a-Lago in Florida for a meal with President Donald Trump 

    Subsequently, companies such as Foot Locker and Gap removed his Yeezy products from their shelves, while industry mainstays including Vogue magazine and Balenciaga publicly distanced themselves from the rapper/fashion designer. 

    At the time, the talent agency CAA dropped West from its roster, while a documentary about West made by the studio MRC was shelved.

    The situation was exacerbated November 22, 2022 when West brought white nationalist Nick Fuentes (who has questioned if the Holocaust happened) to Mar-a-Lago in Florida for a meal with President Donald Trump.

    The incident appeared to create an element of friction between West and Trump, who famously met in the Oval Office during Trump’s first term in October of 2018. 

    Trump – who was out of office at the time but had just announced he was running again – subsequently distanced himself from Fuentes, saying he’d ‘never met and knew nothing about’ him prior to the meeting at his Palm Beach, Florida resort.

    The incident appeared to create an element of friction between West and Trump , who famously met in the Oval Office during Trump’s first term in October of 2018 

    Trump subsequently said on Truth Social that he and West had gotten ‘along great’ during the meeting, which drew criticism from Trump’s former Vice President Mike Pence and former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo.

    ‘Ye, formerly known as Kanye West, was asking me for advice concerning some of his difficulties, in particular having to do with his business,’ Trump said. ‘He expressed no anti-Semitism, & I appreciated all of the nice things he said about me on Tucker Carlson. Why wouldn’t I agree to meet? Also, I don’t know Nick Fuentes.’

    Trump subsequently said in a November 29, 2022 interview on Fox News that he was unaware of views Fuentes had expressed publicly.

    ‘I had never heard of the man,’ Trump said of Fuentes. ‘I had no idea what his views were, and they weren’t expressed at the table in our very quick dinner, or it wouldn’t have been accepted.’

    The next week, West expressed his admiration for Adolf Hitler while denying the Holocaust in a December 1, 2022 appearance alongside Fuentes on Alex Jones’ former show Infowars.

    ‘He didn’t kill six million Jews,’ the Dark Fantasy singer said of Hitler. ‘That’s just factually incorrect. I’m not trying to be shocking. I like Hitler. The Holocaust is not what happened.’

    West said that ‘Hitler has a lot of redeeming qualities,’ adding that ‘every human being has something of value that they brought to the table, especially Hitler.’

    West was banned from Twitter later that day for posting a picture of a swastika interlaced with a Star of David.

    The rapper, 55, has been repeatedly refused bail after pleading not guilty to three felony counts. 

    He is at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn where he has been since he was arrested on 16 September last year.

    Jack kicked off his commentary at the 2025 awards ceremony by walking through the audience and roasting the celebrity attendees, leaving them all open-mouthed.

    He took aim at YouTuber KSI, 31, in a never-ending list of jibes, mocking him for his debut as a guest judge on Britain’s Got Talent, stepping in for Bruno Tonioli while he filmed in the US.

    Jack savagely said that KSI judging talent was ‘like Stephen Hawking judging Strictly Come Dancing’ before taking aim at his music, which he said was ‘past its Prime’ – a reference to his viral drinks company.

    Jack quipped: ‘The guy that will have a go at literally anything – YouTuber, rapper, boxer, energy drink Willy Wonka, rapper – yes, his drink is Prime and his music is slightly past its prime, KSI!’

    Later on, Jack also commented on KSI being nominated for Song of the Year at the BRITs for his single Thick Of It, first saying it was his favourite track before giving it the classic Britain’s Got Talent red buzzer rejection.

    He then joked: ‘I listen to Kendrick Lamar and I think I couldn’t do this, but I listen to your stuff and I think ”oh yeah I could do this”.’

    Jack certainly didn’t stop there as he also delivered a swipe at KSI’s Britain’s Got Talent co-star Simon Cowell.

    Simon, 65, has become known for his changing appearance and has shared his regrets over his extensive use of Botox, with Jack poking fun at this while hosting.

    He made a brutal joke about ‘wiping the smile off Simon Cowell’s latest face’ as he roasted the music mogul, who wasn’t even in attendance at the BRITs.

    Jack didn’t shy away from bringing up Stormzy’s controversial partnership with McDonald’s, which saw him slammed by fans as the fast food giant is currently facing calls for boycotts over its links to Israel.

    Addressing the headline-making collaboration, Jack said: ‘In the 90s, you’d find your rappers doing drive-bys; this one you can find at the drive-thru.

    ‘Nominated for two Brit Awards this evening – we didn’t send him a limo tonight, we Deliverooed him here, it’s Stormzy.

    ‘The grime scene’s Ronald McDonald. He’s loving it.’

    In another humorous joke, Jack remarked that there were some ‘competition winners’ as well as actual celebrities in the audience, before the camera panned to Nick Grimshaw.

    He took a series at vibes including roasting KSI's 'talents', saying him judging Britain's Got Talent is 'like Stephen Hawking judging Strictly Come Dancing'

    As the radio host laughed, Jack quipped: ‘Look, he’s just so happy to be here!’

    Jack also referenced Gary Barlow’s son Daniel going viral for his extremely tall height and savagely compared Sam Ryder’s look to that of a drug dealer’s.

    He also took aim at ITV’s under-fire presenters including Gino D’Acampo and Phillip Schofield in another unfiltered remark.

    ‘ITV had so many of its presenters cancelled this year, they had to come crawling back to an ex,’ he commented.

    The funnyman also threw shade at Coldplay – who are nominated for Group of the Year and Song of the Year – as he called them ‘public school Nickleback’.

    Jack was back hosting the BRIT Awards this year after Roman Kemp took on the leading role during the 2024 ceremony.

    Many fans were upset Roman wouldn’t be back hosting once again after they hailed him as a huge success.

    Jack previously hosted the ceremony four times but hasn’t been at the helm since 2021 as a result of his busy schedule.

  • Kanye West branded ‘downright dangerous’ by ADL after vowing to sell more swastika merch and posting X Holocaust joke

    Kanye West branded ‘downright dangerous’ by ADL after vowing to sell more swastika merch and posting X Holocaust joke

    Kanye West’s latest expansion of his swastika T-shirt line has been condemned by multiple groups, including the Anti-Defamation League, who characterized the rapper’s most recent series of X posts as ‘unacceptable and downright dangerous.’

    The Runaway artist, 47, on Saturday posted another shock stream of posts, showcasing a new set of shirts and logos emblazoned with swastikas to his 33.3 million followers on the platform. 

    West was unabashed in his latest line of Nazi-inspired couture – a collection of long and short-sleeve tops in black, white and red with swastikas in the center, adding that the ‘product was coming in crispy.’

    The crispy line was ostensibly a reference to Holocaust extermination camps where Jewish people were gassed and incinerated.

    ADL CEO and National Director Jonathan Greenblatt told Dailymail.com exclusively in response on Monday, ‘There is no excuse – none – for praising Hitler. Glorifying a genocidal dictator with swastika merch is not “edgy” or “controversial.” 

    ‘When someone with Kanye’s influence spreads Nazi glorification, it emboldens extremists. It’s unacceptable and downright dangerous.’

    Kanye West, 47, has delivered another shock stream tweets about race – including an expansion of his swastika T-shirt line – and Dailymail.com has the full recap for you

    West showcased a new set of shirts and logos emblazoned with swastikas on X Saturday evening, with what appeared to be a reference to the gas chambers used in the Holocaust  

    It was not immediately clear if any of the latest batch of tweets – which the Black Skinhead artist subsequently deleted Saturday – violated X/Twitter’s stated ‘Violent and hateful entities policy.’

    Dailymail.com has reached out to reps for X/Twitter’s Help Center for further clarification on the policy, as well as West’s rep Milo Yiannopoulos for comment on the latest developments. 

    The 24-time Grammy winner himself modeled the shirts in wearing a black t-shirt with silver swastika with the caption, ‘never mention money.’

    West on Saturday also posted a Nazi-inspired logo he created for himself and wife Bianca Censori, 30, who raised eyebrows earlier this month when she took off her coat on the red carpet of the Grammy awards to reveal the sheerest of bodysuits.

    X/Twitter owner Elon Musk personally addressed the controversy surrounding West’s account posts earlier this month after the rapper posted a series of racist, sexist and misogynistic remarks during the weekend of the Super Bowl before temporarily deactivating his account.

    ‘Given what he has posted, his account is now classified as NSFW [not safe for work],’ Musk, 53, said February 10. ‘You should not be seeing that anymore.’ 

    West wrote at the time he deactivated his account, ‘I’m logging out of Twitter. I appreciate Elon for allowing me to vent. It has been very cathartic to use the world as a sounding board.’ 

    The American Jewish Committee referred Dailymail.com to a statement in which they acknowledged West’s ‘anti-Jewish hatred’ in his social media posts – and the ‘dangerous influence they can have on his millions of followers, particularly on social media, where a significant portion of today’s antisemitism thrives.

    Said the AJC: ‘Hate, left unchecked, only multiplies. At a time when antisemitism is skyrocketing to terrifying levels worldwide, Ye is actively endangering Jews. 

    ‘We urge others with a platform like Ye’s – particularly in the entertainment industry – to call out this blatant hatred.’

    West has remained in the crosshairs of controversy for much of the month amid a torrent of tweets propagating antisemitism, and the proliferation of his swastika-emblazoned fashion items.

    On February 11, the shop on West’s Yeezy Website – which he advertised with an expensive ad in certain markets during the Super Bowl broadcast – was taken offline by Shopify after he was selling a white shirt with a black swastika in the center. 

    West on Thursday promised to wear a swastika shirt onstage at Super Bowl LX, which takes place February 8, 2026 in Santa Clara, California. 

    ‘Next year I’m performing at the superbowl wearing my wittle T shirt,’ said West, whose number one hits include 2024’s Carnival and 2005’s Gold Digger. ‘People with money bought my wittle t shirt.’

    The Chicago native continued with the antisemitic sentiments despite a recent set of personal complications stemming from his outspoken views on Jewish people. 

    ‘I TRULY LIKE JEWISH PEOPLE,’ West said Saturday. ‘THEY [JUST] CAN NO LONGER BE THE CREATIVE DIRECTORS OF THE PLANET … THEY ARE THE BULLYS… NO IM THE BULLY.’

    They included a row with Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy; and reports of his views spurring tension between ex-wife Kim Kardashian, who he shares four children with, and her sister Kourtney’s baby’s father, Scott Disick.

    West – who was seen on The Kardashians on Hulu last week – is father to four children with Kim Kardashian, 44.

    The controversial race-related remarks comes after insiders told Dailymail.com earlier this month that Disick, 41, has been upset with Kim for not publicly condemning her ex-husband’s recent remarks via her massive platforms.

    Disick, who shares three children with Kim’s older sister Kourtney, 45, ‘was raised Jewish and the fact that Kim has not denounced Kanye West’s hateful anti-Semitic remarks absolutely infuriates him,’ a source told Dailymail.com.

    Disick ‘has had it with Kanye and takes personal offense to his attack on the Jewish community,’ the source continued.

    Kanye West RETURNS to Twitter! Rapper deletes almost all his vile anti-Semitic posts three days after profile was deactivated… but account reappears with ‘sensitive content’ warning

    • Have YOU got a story? Email tips@dailymail.com 

    Kanye West has returned to Twitter three days after his account was deactivated following his string of vile sexist, homophobic and anti-Semitic rants.

    The 47-year-old rapper’s account vanished from X – formerly known as Twitter – on Monday as he appeared to shut it down after causing outrage with his posts.

    However, on Thursday, his profile suddenly reappeared on the platform and the news quickly went viral, with his name quickly trending.

    But there were some changes as he appeared to have deleted almost all of his offensive anti-Semitic posts, though others remained from his three-day rant.

    His page also appeared with a ‘sensitive content’ warning for any users without an X account trying to view his page. It is not known when the warning was added.

  • Disney alum Dan Benson says he’s shutting down his OnlyFans page: ‘It’s starting to weigh on me’

    Disney alum Dan Benson says he’s shutting down his OnlyFans page: ‘It’s starting to weigh on me’

    Disney alum Dan Benson says he’s preparing to shut down his OnlyFans page after more than two-and-a-half years.

    ‘I think I’m done,’ the 37-year-old actor/model said in a TikTok post he later deleted. ‘When I made the decision to start an OnlyFans page, I thought I was doing it for the right reasons.’

    Benson, who played the role of Zeke Beakerman opposite Selena Gomez on Wizards of Waverly Place from 2007-2012, explained how his financial situation has changed in recent years.

    ‘I was doing it to support financially my elderly dog that needed a lot of financial help with his medical bills,’ Benson said. ‘I was tired of being so poor and feeling like I was being taken advantage of. I don’t know.

    ‘I think after years of doing this, it’s starting to weigh on me and I’m going to pull away for a while and take some time to reflect.’

    The Springfield, Missouri native – who has more 258,400 followers on TikTok, and another 101,000 followers on Instagram – made clear his gratitude to the people who subscribed to his account, which features adult content.

    ‘Thank you to everyone who has supported me this whole time,’ Benson said. ‘I might go back to acting.

    ‘I might just go and try and get a normal job and disappear – just be a normal person – I don’t really know.’

    Benson said that he hoped he could scrub some of his racier content off the Internet, and advised people to fully understand the permanence of posting revealing content online.

    ‘I hope I can remove some of the stuff that is already out there,’ said Benson, who has also worked on shows such as Rick and Morty, Private Practice and Zoey 101. ‘So if you’re thinking about doing this, just be thoughtful, because I know it’s going to be really hard.’

    The post that Benson announced his expected departure from the site was subsequently removed, according to the outlet Just Jared, which was first to report the news. 

    As of Monday evening, the page appeared to be active, with the actor offering a 28-day subscription for a $9 fee.

    In his bio on the site, Benson describes himself as an ‘actor best known for [his] role as “Zeke” on Disney Channels Wizards of Waverly Place,’ adding that he’s ‘now … embracing [his] wild side.’

    He said that his site offers more than ‘500+ full length videos, sex tapes, livestreams every week, giveaways, raffles and more,’ adding, ‘Join me on my very public sexual journey.’

    Benson started the OnlyFans page in July 2022 in what he said was an effort to help the LGBTQ community. He said in his profile at the time, ‘If you wanted to see me naked – your wish has been granted.’

    Benson at the time announced his intentions for the page via X/Twitter: ‘I’ll be using this new found resurgence to fight for and support the LGBTQ communities that deserve so much better from this country. Drop a link to your favorite organizations below.’

    Benson follows in the footsteps of a number of prominent names who have started accounts on the pay site.

    Another Disney Channel alum in Bella Thorne was the first person to earn $1 million within her first day in August of 2020, while celebs who have started platforms on the site in the years since include actresses Denise Richards, Carmen Electra and Drea de Matteo; and music stars such as Tyga, Blac Chyna and Iggy Azalea.

    The popular platform garnered controversy in August of 2021 after it announced it was looking to eliminate ‘sexually explicit’ material, as the site is a mainstay among adult entertainers.

    OnlyFans subsequently backpedaled from the announced change after a major pushback from those who use the platform.

    ‘Thank you to everyone for making your voices heard,’ the company said. ‘We have secured assurances necessary to support our diverse creator community and have suspended the planned October 1 policy change. OnlyFans stands for inclusion and we will continue to provide a home for all creators.’

    It comes after viewers have hit out at Elma Pazar for crying after Scott Thomas quite the show - despite telling him to leave

    It comes after viewers have hit out at Elma Pazar for crying after Scott Thomas quite the show – despite telling him to leave

    It comes after viewers have hit out at Elma Pazar for crying after Scott Thomas quit the show – just hours after telling him to leave.

    Dramatic scenes during Sunday’s episode saw Elma and Scott have an explosive row after he told Tina Stinnes that he didn’t feel a spark after recoupling with her.

    Elma was furious at Scott as she accused him of having had two ‘blinding’ girls, Indiya Reynolds and Tina, but not being interested in either of them – before saying he should just go home.

    The following day, Scott pulled his friend Luca Bish to the firepit to chat where he announced he was leaving, before breaking the news to the other Islanders.

    The Islanders were gutted at Scott’s decision to leave and started crying, including Elma.

    Scott, 36, announced he was leaving the villa and going home during Sunday night’s episode, following the explosive row with Elma and Tina.

    In a dramatic move that has left the villa in shock, Scott packed his bags and left the ITV show after deciding it ‘wasn’t for him’ and struggling to find a genuine connection with Tina and axed islander India Reynolds.

    Pulling Luca Bish over to the fire pit first he said: ‘I just wanted to let you know first. I can’t force connections and I feel like I’ve come here and done everything I wanted to do. I just have to be true to myself.’

    Telling the rest of the islanders, he said: ‘I don’t want this to be sad guys because I’ve had the best time ever but I’ve made the decision to leave.

    ‘I’ve had the best time ever. Every single one of you is amazing.’

    The hunk, who first appeared on series two, was in a couple with Tina, 29, but after recently having doubts, Scott called time on the relationship.

    Elma locked horns with Scott after he called things off with Tina, admitting he should ‘leave the villa’ and ‘go’ because ‘nothing was here for him’.

    Earlier in the week, Elma and Luca Bish were given the tough decision to save Tina for Scott meaning Kaz Crossley, Naz Majeed and Montel Mckenzie were sent packing.

    Messy singer Lola Young leaves fans stunned as they find out she has a VERY famous family connection

    Lola Young has shocked fans after they discovered she has a very famous family member.

    The 24-year-old singer has been working in the industry for years, but her career skyrocketed recently thanks to her viral hit Messy, which topped the charts and took over TikTok.

    Her rise to fame has sparked curiosity, with many eager to learn more about her journey. 

    Lola began writing songs at just 11 years old and won a national open mic competition by 13.

    She honed her craft at the prestigious Brit School in Croydon, known for producing stars like Adele and Amy Winehouse.

    Fans may also recognise her voice from the 2021 John Lewis Christmas advert, The Unexpected Guest.

    Fans are only just discovering that Lola has a surprising family connection – her aunt is none other than author Julia Donaldson

    She recently made history as the youngest British female artist to score a solo number-one single since Dua Lipa’s New Rules in 2017. 

    Her success continues to grow, with sold-out UK and US tours, an upcoming debut at Coachella, and a nomination for Best Pop Act at the 2024 BRIT Awards.

    Now signed to Island Records, Lola is backed by some of the biggest names in the music industry. 

    Her debut album, My Mind Wanders and Sometimes Leaves Completely, was released last year, followed by her latest project, This Wasn’t Meant For You Anyway.

    But fans are only just discovering that Lola has a surprising family connection – her aunt is none other than Julia Donaldson.

    Julia, 76, is the renowned author behind the beloved children’s book The Gruffalo and many other best-selling titles.

    She is a Scottish author, who first found success in the late ‘90s and went on to become the Children’s Laureate from 2011 to 2013.

    Before her breakthrough as a writer, she penned songs for children’s TV, showcasing her storytelling talents through music.

    Now based in West Sussex, Julia was awarded an MBE in 2011 for her contributions to literature.

    After discovering the family connection, fans took to X, formerly Twitter to share their thoughts.

    They wrote: ‘Feel like this women appeared out of nowhere in the past few months so I had a Google. Her Auntie wrote ‘The Gruffalo’ and she went to the BRIT school. LOL. Same as it ever was,’

    ‘Oh the gruffalo. if your aunt wrote the gruffalo you’re basically set for life. everyone knows the gruffalo,’

    ‘If Lola Young suddenly burst onto the writing or literature world out of nowhere with a best seller, then sure! her aunt being a famous author would warrant some nepo baby side eye but get an actual grip how is the Gruffalo helping her TikTok fame,’

    ‘I don’t really think lola young’s aunt being julia donaldson makes her that much more of a nepo baby than anyone else who grows up with access to the arts and then makes it their career. it distracts from the real issue: the gruffalo fucking terrified me as a child,’

    ‘It’s not even overnight I’ve known about Lola young for two years bc of her trying to promote her music and guess what the algorithm worked so well on tiktok that she found her audience who likes her music, could care less if her aunt wrote a British book.’

    Lola previously said that having an artistic family helped her believe that making a career in music was within reach.

    She mentioned that she grew up surrounded by creativity, which gave her the confidence to pursue her own artistic ambitions.

    ‘I never had a plan B,’ she added.

  • Labyrinth sequel slammed by fans who are raging at Robert Eggers’ follow-up to the David Bowie cult classic

    Labyrinth sequel slammed by fans who are raging at Robert Eggers’ follow-up to the David Bowie cult classic

    Labyrinth fans are raging after it was officially announced that the David Bowie cult classic is getting a sequel nearly four decades after its release.

    It was confirmed on Thursday that Nosferatu director Robert Eggers has closed a deal to write and direct a new movie, said to be a follow up to the original 1986 film.

    Although plot details for Eggers’ project remain under wraps for now, it’s been revealed that he is writing the script with Sjón, his collaborator on 2022 Viking actioner The Northman.

    But the announcement is not sitting well with protective fans, who have slammed the news and have even begged the director to ‘leave it alone’.

    Taking to X, formerly Twitter, one said: ‘Not a single thing about Labyrinth implies needing a sequel nor will it be any good because Bowie is dead and Bowie IS Jareth.’

    Echoing a similar sentiment, another raged: ‘As much as I like eggers, LABYRINTH DOES NOT NEED A SEQUEL LEAVE IT ALONE!!!!!!! The original is so charming and perfect a sequel just wouldn’t work these days (or ever).’

    A third pleaded: ‘I’m a big “some movies don’t need sequels” proponent, leave Labyrinth alone.’

    ‘NOOOOO PLEASE LEAVE IT ALONE LET IT BE PLEASE PLEASE GOD NO PLEASE NOOOOOO,’ a fourth requested.

    ‘We don’t want this,’ wrote a fifth.

    Others were less harsh and reasoned that if a Labyrinth sequel has to be made, Eggers is the right person for the job.

    One penned: ‘I most definitely DO NOT want a sequel to this movie. It’s perfect as it is. BUT if anyone’s going to do it justice it’s probably Robert Eggers.’

    ‘Classic movie, not sure how you make a sequel, especially without David Bowie, but Robert Eggers has a pretty good track record now,’ added another.

    Labyrinth, like all good cult films, was not commercially successful when it was first released in 1986 but over the years has become widely popular and is still shown at movie events.

    Its campy story, fantastical puppets and the brilliance of Bowie – and his sing-along classics like Magic Dance – have ensured it remains a fan favorite.

    The film starred a young Jennifer Connelly who played Sarah, a teen who, after being forced to babysit, wished her baby brother away – and the besotted Goblin King Jareth (Bowie) was all too happy to oblige.

    Sarah then journeys into a world of magical creatures where nothing is as it seems.

    The movie was the last to be created and directed by the visionary Jim Henson before his death aged 53 in 1990. 

    Bowie died in 2016 aged 69 after battling cancer in secret for 18 months. 

    Prior to Thursday’s sequel news, there were reports of a Labyrinth remake in 2016.

    At the time, The Hollywood Reporter claimed Guardians Of The Galaxy co-writer Nicole Perlman was developing a script.

    Maya Jama hit back with a perfect response to a fan after receiving a disgusting request on X on Sunday. 

    The Love Island host, 30, was sent an inappropriate message on social media asking her to ‘flatulate through a walkie talkie’.

    The presenter was left horrified by the message and hit back: ‘At some point someone has to stop their h***y husband/brother/son from tweeting after the pub.’

    Fans quickly took to the comments as they were also shocked by the X – formerly known as Twitter – post. 

    They wrote: ‘Well it’s niche; Imagine just imagine sitting there and typing that out. Then thinking ‘yup, that’s great! I’ll send that. Unbelievable; 

    ‘Why through a walkie-talkie ? Is that so he can’t smell it; I’m embarrassed just reading this;

    ‘Wow. Some unusual people out there…to even think it; The replies you get are WILD. Creative… but wild.’  

    It comes as Maya turns heads in a cleavage boosting black gown as she returns to the Love Island villa in Sunday night’s upcoming episode. 

    The host makes quite the entrance as she arrives with big news for the Islanders – and leaves Tina Stinnes, 29, with a big decision to make. 

    Maya displays her sensational figure in a ruched off-the-shoulder black dress complete with a plunging neckline as she gatecrashes the Islanders’ evening.

    On arriving at the villa, she announces: ‘Hello my lovelies! You weren’t expecting me to interrupt your night were you? Can you all please join me at the fire-pit.’

    ‘What a first week you’ve all had, lots has been happening…active!’ she adds. 

    After checking in on the Islanders and their couples, she announces: ‘Tina, welcome to the Villa… things are about to turn up a notch.

    ‘Would you please come and stand by me…’

    She then reveals: ‘You now have the power to steal one boy to couple up with.’

    The presenter was left horrified by the message and hit back: 'At some point someone has to stop their h***y husband/brother/son from tweeting after the pub'

    Elsewhere in Sunday’s episode, Scott Thomas gets a newfound ick for his partner India Reynolds before Tina leaves him blushing. 

    During a game of truth or dare, India is asked: ‘Who do you think the most calculated in here is?’

    ‘After this evening I’m gonna actually go you,’ she says to Scott – leaving him baffled.

    He asks: ‘After this evening? What have I done?’

    Elma Pazar jogs Scott’s memory explaining that he kissed India in bed before telling her he wanted to get to know Tina.

    Scott responds: ‘Seriously? That’s just give me the ick mate…big.’

    Scott’s later catching up with Tina, who wants to make her thoughts clear telling him: ‘I think we did have the best date… 

    ‘I feel comfortable with you and we get along really well and there’s a big attraction there if I was on the outside I’d be like, ‘Oh I wanna kiss you’.’

    But the next morning he’s got India on his mind as they have a chat saying: ‘Sorry I’ve been a bit quiet today… 

    ‘I apologise for how I reacted in the heat of the moment.’

    Drama is also brewing elsewhere in the villa as Luca Bish appears to embroil himself in a love triangle. 

    The fishmonger pulls Kaz Crossley for a chat on the bean bags and admits he’s been closed off saying: ‘I have held off, but since we’ve been coupled up we’ve had some nicer chats and I feel at ease with you.’

    Kaz sounds pleased, saying: ‘Good, I want you to feel at ease’.

    He mentions they’ll be sharing a bed tonight and after agreeing to cuddle that night Kaz has a suggestion: ‘We could be like a friends with benefits?’ and they laugh.

    Later, Luca is keen for a chat with Tina – pulling her into the sunbeds where there’s an audience. 

    He asks Tina for a kiss, she says: ‘I’m not kissing right here in the middle.’ But after they do share a quick kiss to whoops and cheers, Luca says: ‘I can do better.’

  • Love Island fans are stunned as they work out Marcel Somerville’s ‘real age’ ahead of his return to villa for All Stars

    Love Island fans are stunned as they work out Marcel Somerville’s ‘real age’ ahead of his return to villa for All Stars

    Love Island: All Stars fans have been left in shock after they worked out Marcel Somerville’s ‘real age’ ahead of his return to the show. 

    It was previously confirmed that the reality star, who first appeared on the series in 2017, would be heading back into the villa next week. 

    The father-of-one, who is still married to estranged wife Rebecca Vieira, turned 39 on Tuesday, making him the oldest contestant to ever appear on the show. 

    Once fans worked out that Marcel was born in 1986, they flocked to social media to share their shock. 

    One fan posted on X, formerly Twitter: ‘Why is someone near 40 going in the villa. Like not even trying to be mean but the reality is Hannah did not have luck last year, this show isn’t going to have the crowd for him.’ 

    ‘Just went to look up Marcel’s age gosh he turns 39 today, there’s no way he’s lasting long in there!’; ‘He’ll probably drop out on day three or get dumped at the end of the week.’

    While another added: ‘Marcel going back to Love Island has been killing me all day you’re 40 years old with children at home and on top of that still legally married.’ 

    It comes as Marcel’s estranged wife Rebecca shared a cryptic post on Instagram on Tuesday, hours before he was confirmed to join Love Island: All Stars alongside his ex-girlfriend Gabby Allen, 32.

    Marcel is part of the lineup for the second series of the ITV2 spin-off show, just months after splitting from Rebecca.

    The star first appeared on the dating programme back in 2017 and came in fourth place with Gabby Allen. 

    They kept their romance going outside the villa, however, they split after he cheated on her during a holiday. Marcel later found love with athlete Rebecca and they tied the knot in August 2022.

    However, the TV star moved out of their family home and deleted all presence of Rebecca on social media in March last year after his wife cheated. They are still married and are in the process of divorcing.

    Now Rebecca has broken her silence by re-sharing a quote which read, ‘What makes you beautiful is that you stayed soft in a life that tried to harden you.’ 

    She also shared with her followers a sizzling bikini picture and showed off her amazing figure in a Gucci two-piece while posing in a kitchen.

    Taking to Instagram at the time, she wrote: ‘By now most of you would have seen what’s going on, I’ve made a huge mistake, I’ve embarrassed not only my husband but myself and both our families.’

    ‘My actions were foolish and have hurt so many people around us but most importantly my husband.’ 

    ‘I’ve said a lot of things that I shouldn’t have and it was stupid of me so I won’t sit here and justify my actions, those decisions should have never been made.’

    She added: ‘I want to publicly apologise to my Marcel, just as loudly as the rest of the noise. For all the hurt, embarrassment and pain I have put him through there is nothing and no one in the world that comes before you and our family.’ 

    ‘No-one could ever compare.’ 

    She then posted a picture of the couple’s gold wedding bands which had engraved ‘always and forever.’

    It comes as Marcel's estranged wife Rebecca (pictured) shared a cryptic post on Instagram on Tuesday, hours before he was confirmed to join Love Island: All Stars alongside his ex-girlfriend Gabby Allen, 32

    Marcel and Rebecca welcomed their son Roman back in January 2021 and now co-parent their little boy. 

    Rounding off the year, Marcel said he was glad to say bye to 2024 as it was the ‘hardest year of his life’. 

    In September, Marcel shared a post reflecting on his ‘stressful year’ full of ‘ups and downs’ and said he wants to focus on his son Roman and ‘protecting his future’. 

    He penned: ‘It’s been a stressful year, ups and downs but you only get dealt what you can manage.’

    Marcel, who appeared on the dating programme back in 2017, came in fourth place with Gabby Allen. They kept their romance going outside the villa, however, they split after he cheated on her during a holiday (both pictured 2018)

    ‘Things happen in life that make you take a look at the things that are most important to you and for me the most important thing to me is my Son and doing everything within my power to make sure he’s always going to be GOOD!’

    ‘Protecting his future is something I always tried to do but if this year showed me anything it’s that life can always throw a curve ball.’

    ‘So I’ve been on a journey of learning and growth that’s put me on a path I never thought about before.’ 

    ‘I’ve learnt you can’t always protect them against everything life throws but my priority now is to ensure I can give Ro everything he needs in life until I can’t.’

    ‘I’ve added a new string to the bow after the turmoil and it’s brought me happiness putting my energy into something that’s given me so much already.’
