  • ‘It was never about Hamas’: Kardashians’ makeup artist slams the destruction of Gaza

    ‘It was never about Hamas’: Kardashians’ makeup artist slams the destruction of Gaza

    Among the many public figures who are speaking out against the genocide in Gaza, is acclaimed makeup artist Ariel Tejada, known for working with the Kardashian family, especially Kim Kardashian.

    Tejada has a history of collaborating with the Kardashian sisters, especially being known as Kylie Jenner’s go-to makeup artist. The Kardashian family publicly announced their support for Israel, while Kim was slammed on social media for the costumes her children wore on Halloween, with many saying they mocked the injured children of Gaza.

    Tejada uploaded a reel where he was singing ‘Depression get the best of me’ by Zevia and wrote why he could relate to the song at this moment:

    “This very specific part of this song has been hitting home more than ever. With the genocide/ ethnic cleansing happening with the people of Palestine, I cannot even begin to imagine the grief , and the feeling of hopelessness and sadness, and fright these people feel right now.

    My heart is with every Mother who has lost their baby,

    Every friend whose lost their person to confide in.

    And all the little babies/ kids and innocent lives that have been taken through the immense mass killing and brutality. My heart is with all of you! And I will continue to do my part in helping to use my platform and my voice! To make sure your story is heard! May God be with all of you.”

    In the caption of the post Ariel wrote:

    “I’m hopeful that if we all continue to use our voices, we can make a difference for the people of Palestine and all of humanity! Don’t stop posting and spreading the word and horrific images of what’s going on to wake people up! #ceasefire #freepalestine.”

    On his Instagram stories, Ariel criticised the occupation by Israeli forces as an agenda to take over Gaza rather than destroying Hamas:

    “It was never about Hamas. Anyone that wants to use that as their argument to try and sway my stance, please refrain from speaking to me. Save the bullshit for someone else. 1.5 million people displaced from their homes. This is insane.”

    Ariel shared another post highlighting that more blood was spilt in Gaza than there is clean water for civilians. In the caption he wrote: “Let that sit with you.”

  • Hollywood or Pakistan, female entertainers are a troll’s favourite target

    Hollywood or Pakistan, female entertainers are a troll’s favourite target

    Once again, its common knowledge that at the heart of every single celebrity scandal, a woman is targeted with the most blatant misogynist taunts by the public. Over the past two days, two major scandals have broken out in Hollywood. The way publications framed out the narrative to paint the women as scheming shrews who have manipulated the men in their lives proves the public loves nothing more than pushing women down as a public sport.

    Today, news outlets confirmed ‘Jonas Brothers’ singer Joe Jonas has officially filed for divorce from his wife of four years, actress Sophie Turner, and sources representing the actor told TMZ that the breakdown of their marriage happened because Sophie, who was by the way 23 when she married 30 year old Joe, was to be blamed for her extravagant lifestyle:

     “She likes to party, he likes to stay at home. They have very different lifestyles.”

    The source also claimed Joe was the one who was taking care of the couple’s two children while Sophie had been shooting for a project in the UK. We have to ask, why does a man need to be applauded over the fact that he took up the parental responsibility, and a woman is being blamed for working. Suddenly, she’s a bad mom?

    On the other hand, actor Timothee Chalamet and beauty tycoon Kylie Jenner decided to go public with their long-rumored relationship. The two were filmed kissing at a Beyonce concert- but most of the talk on the internet once more was sexist, blaming Kylie for stealing a heartthrob just so that she could get ratings for the reality show ‘Keeping Up With The Kardashians’. Several users have come to Kylie’s defence.

    A few days ago, a now deleted article written by Vogue about Timothee Chalamet and Kylie’s relationship went viral, where the writer expressed that it was difficult for her to believe that the two could be a couple because Kylie’s career was nothing compared to Timothee Chalamet’s as the quote goes:

    What do they do together? Does he hold her makeup brushes while she contours? Does she help him sift through Wes Anderson scripts? Does he give Stormi French lessons?”

    “And how did they end up together, anyway? Legend has it that Kylie’s sister Kendall introduced them, but it’s hard for me not to picture Kris sifting through a laminated binder full of leading men, debating which of the Hollywood Chrises would pair best with Kylie’s latest haircut.”

    The piece was criticized for insensitivity and for diminishing the reality TV star’s achievements, including Kylie Cosmetics, an enterprise worth around $750 million.

    While the rest of the world is angry at the way the two women are being publicly humiliated and blamed for events they weren’t responsible for, we have to reflect on the way this is commonly happening in Pakistan. Female celebrities like Sadaf Kanwal, who married Shahroze Sabzwari, was subjected to brutal trolling on social media for months because it was insinuated that she had played a hand in the break up of her husband’s previous marriage, even though both partners confirmed that their breakup was consensual.

    Similarly, Sanam Saeed was targeted by trolls for being a ‘home wrecker’ and a cheater when she went public with her relationship with actor Mohib Mirza, after his divorce to actor Aminah Sheikh. Or when actress Ayesha Omar had to clarify that she was not a home wrecker, because some modelling shoots between her and cricket player Shoaib Malik fuelled the fire that she was the culprit behind his rumored divorce to Indian tennis star Sania Mirza.

    We’d really like to urge our audience to keep their opinions to themselves, especially those about female celebrities. How Kylie and Sophie choose to live, and who they date, is none of our concern because by the end of the day, they’re human beings as well as public figures. It is natural to be a fan of a celebrity and to respect their work- as its understandable since its Timothee Chalamet- but its crossing a line when you’re ranting about the women he dates.

    But most importantly, its necessary now more than ever that women- even female celebrities like Sadaf, Kylie or Taylor Swift- are no longer held responsible for the decisions made by the men in their lives, and we learn to understand the fact that it is not our business to know who they’re dating or not. There are better things on this planet to worry about!

  • Timothee Chalamet, Kylie Jenner are dating, spotted together on Beyonce’s Renaissance tour

    Timothee Chalamet, Kylie Jenner are dating, spotted together on Beyonce’s Renaissance tour

    Hollywood actor Timothee Chalamet seems to have confirmed his relationship with beauty tycoon Kylie Jenner, after the two were spotted cozying together at Beyonce’s Renaissance tour in LA, Pop Base has reported.

    The internet was honestly divided because yeah this is the two most random people in Hollywood who suddenly announced they were a couple.

    Rumors about the two began when in January, videos showed Kylie and Timothee laughing together at the Jean Paul Gaultier fashion show during Paris Couture Week. In April, reports seemingly confirmed Kylie and Timothee were dating after an insider told Entertainment Today that the couple were keeping things casual and were waiting to see how it goes.

    “They are keeping things casual at this point. It’s not serious, but Kylie is enjoying hanging out with Timothée and seeing where it goes. It’s been really fun for her because it feels a lot different than her past relationships. It’s new and exciting for Kylie and she’s having a lot of fun.”

    Then by August, sources told Us Weekly that the couple were making sure their romance remains low-key, but weren’t spending a lot of time together to ensure their relationship remains secretive.

    “Kylie and Timothée haven’t been spending that much time together recently because they both have very busy schedules. But they’re still communicating on a pretty regular basis and have remained friends despite the fact that they don’t hang out that often.”

    Kim Kardashian, Sylvester Stallone, others under fire for water wastage amidst California drought

    A-lister celebrities from the American entertainment and sports industry are included in a list of about 2,000 Los Angeles residents accused of using excessive amounts of water amid the ongoing drought.

    According to documents obtained by the Los Angeles Times from the Las Virgenes Municipal Water District, several celebrities were issued “notices of exceedance” stating that they had surpassed 150 percent of their monthly water budget at least four times since the district issued new rules to combat the drought at the end of last year.

    The excessive water usage notices were sent out in May and June, and according to the Times, among those recipients were Kim and Kourtney Kardashian, Kevin Hart, Sylvester Stallone, and former NBA star Dwyane Wade.

    Kim was also recently under fire after making number 7 on a list of celebrities that were ranked as the “biggest offenders” of private jet emissions. While occasionally sharing her views on climate change, the report stated that her jet expelled 4268.5 tonnes of carbon emissions over 57 flights so far this year.

    Nearly 97 percent of Los Angeles is in a state of “severe drought” according to Drought.gov. This year has been deemed the fourth driest year in the last 128 years—with the first four months being the driest ever recorded, the Weather Channel reported in May.

    Muneeb Butt breaks silence on Minal Khan-Kylie Jenner fiasco

    Actor Minal Khan got trolled on social media earlier this year after she copied American reality television star Kylie Jenner’s Instagram story. The netizens scrutinised her for cropping the name Jenner from the photo and shared it as her own.

    Now her brother-in-law, Muneeb Butt has responded to the Jalan diva’s controversy on Tabish Hashmi’s show, Hasna Mana Hai.

    The Daldal actor said, ‘When this news was viral on social media, we were all laughing and the family’s WhatsApp group was flooded with memes on Minal.”

    Defending Minal Khan, he said that some people are in the habit of posting too many stories on Instagram. She must have seen the picture and shared it. She didn’t mean for people to think it was her breakfast picture.

    Recently Aiman responded to her Butt’s humorous comment on her brother-in-law Ahsan Mohsin Ikram’s post. Ahsan shared a picture of Minal and him holding each other’s hands and captioned the post as, “This is how it all started.”

    Muneeb was quick to comment on the post, which caught Aiman’s attention. The Ishq Tamasha star asked him under his comment that why does he comment on everything?

  • Why did Kim Kardashian split with Pete Davidson?

    Why did Kim Kardashian split with Pete Davidson?

    American magazine Page 6 has exclusively revealed that reality television star and entrepreneur Kim Kardashian and comedian Pete Davidson’s age difference caused them to split earlier this month.

    “Pete is 28 and Kim is 41 — they are just in very different places at the moment,” the insider says.

    “Pete is totally spontaneous and impulsive and wants her to fly to New York, or wherever he is on a moment’s notice,” the source adds. “But Kim has four kids and it isn’t that easy. She needs to focus on the kids.”

    The source also tells us that Kardashian — who runs multiple businesses and stars on a reality show — was “totally exhausted by this relationship and other things going on in her life.”

    The “Kardashians” star has recently had a tumultuous relationship with ex Kanye West, which caused strife while she was dating the “SNL” alum.

    Why Kim Kardashian and Pete Davidson broke up

    The insider explained, “When Kim is with someone else, Kanye can cause problems with the kids. He tries to divide and conquer. He can’t help it.

    “Kim is a really dedicated mother, and her kids will always come first. She wants and needs harmony at home and in her life.”

    Earlier this year, a fan embarrassed the reality television star while she was heading out from her movie date with Davidson, whom she started dating in November 2021 after filing for divorce from rapper Kanye West.

    As Kim and Pete enjoyed a movie date over the weekend, video footage surfaced online showing a fan approaching Kim and directly telling her, “Yo Kim, Kanye’s way better, I’m not even going to hold you.”

    As shown in the short clip, Kim appeared to ignore the fan and instead walked straight past, remaining silent.

    ‘Botox kam karao’: Mathira slams Sadia Imam, Javeria Saud grills Mathira for hypocrisy

    Host and actor Mathira made a jibe at senior actress Sadia Imam on her talk show, OMG. The Blind Love star slammed Imam for getting bad botox treatments and also suggested her to stop getting it in the future. This statement made her guest Javeria Saud uncomfortable who quickly grilled Mathira by saying, “Look who’s talking”.

    Mathira recently slammed Minal Khan on the same show also: “Why do we copy other people’s statuses and try to show them as our own? Are we suffering from an inferiority complex? Or people have become more class conscious?

    Mathira advised Minal to put on her status whatever she ate in her breakfast, even if it’s “anda paratha” instead of copying other people’s statuses. Here is the viral video clip showing Mathira expressing her views on the issue:

    In June, Minal posted an aesthetic picture of “her own” breakfast, Within minutes, social media users pointed out her lazy effort at stealing pictures of Kylie Jenner. The Ishq Hai star cropped the model’s name from the picture.

    Netizens grilled Khan her for the act.

    Fellow actor Ushna Shah equated Minal’s cyberbullying with that of late Dr. Aamir Liaquat.

    The Balaa star also called out the trolling culture for the sake of digital engagement.

    Amidst the ongoing controversy, a screenshot of an alleged tweet by Kylie Jenner is going viral in which she is supposedly slamming the Pakistani superstar for plagiarising her post.

    The screenshot is fake and is being wrongly spread on social media.

    On the other hand, Minal’s manager Khawar Bedi, indirectly equated her trolling with that of the late Aamir Liaquat.

  • Instagram to halt TikTok-like features after severe backlash

    Instagram to halt TikTok-like features after severe backlash

    Instagram has announced that it is suspending the rollout of new features to its app following an online backlash from users, influencers, and celebrities.

    Updates to Instagram are believed to be due to the growing popularity of its competitor “TikTok” which comprises videos rather than still images.

    Celebrity sisters Kim Kardashian and Kylie Jenner also posted on social media this week urging the company to “make Instagram Instagram again” and stop trying to be like TikTok.

    The slogan came from a Change.org petition that had more than 229,000 signatures as of Thursday night. “Let’s go back to our roots with Instagram and remember that the intention behind Instagram was to share photos, for Pete’s sake,” the petition reads.

    Toni Tone, writer and content creator, posted how frustrated she was with the modifications and how Instagram was so much more reasonable when she received content from the people she preferred to follow.

    Instagram head Adam Mosseri responded to the controversy earlier this week by posting a video on Twitter saying the features are a work in progress, testing with a small number of users. But after some backlash, he later said in a series of tweets that he wanted to “continue supporting photos.”

    New features included recommended video content, styled like rival app TikTok. Meta, Instagram’s parent company, said it wants to “take the time” to get the transition right.
