Bella Hadid followed then unfollowed Selena Gomez on Instagram

By Layla K. Saleh, Content Editor

We all know The Weeknd and Bella Hadid have had an on-again-off-again relationship for years now. The couple can’t seem to make it work, but hey we’re definitely rooting for them.

Their most famous “off again” phase was in 2017 when Abel dated Selena Gomez. They attended the met together that year and even Coachella.

And the internet lost its mind. What did this mean for Abella? Were Selena and Bella still friends? So many questions and very few answers. That is, until Bella unfollowed Selena off of social media, publicly declaring that they were no longer friends.

The Weeknd and Selena lasted only 10 sweet short months and after that, everyone had their eyes open for an Abella reunion; and reunited they were. And then they broke up again… In all honesty, it’s been a long bumpy ride.

Bella Hadid followed Selena Gomez on Sunday and the internet caused a riot.

So Bella unfollowed her again. Selena still follows Bella on Instagram.

Looks like Bella still isn’t ready to take their friendship to the next level…#Bella Hadid#Selena Gomez#Instagram#Unfollowed#The Weeknd

CELEBRITIES REACT TO ADELE’S BIRTHDAY INSTAGRAM POST: “I MEAN ARE YOU KIDDING ME”

BY SEREN MORRIS

Adele posted a rare Instagram picture to celebrate her 32nd birthday yesterday, on May 5, and celebrities commented with birthday wishes and compliments.

The singer used the caption to honor the healthcare workers and first responders working during the coronavirus pandemic: “Thank you for the birthday love. I hope you’re all staying safe and sane during this crazy time.

“I’d like to thank all of our first responders and essential workers who are keeping us safe while risking their lives! You are truly our angels [heart emoji] 2020 okay bye thanks x”

In the photo, Adele appears to be looking at somebody off-camera, as she poses behind a huge floral wreath. At the time of writing, Adele’s Instagram post has more than 2.6 million likes.

Fans and celebrities have been commenting on the post wishing Adele a happy birthday and paying her compliments.

Model and television personality Chrissy Teigan had the top comment with more than 64,000 likes at the time of writing, as she said: “I mean are you kidding me”

The Oprah Magazine Instagram account tweeted: “Our birthday gift should be an Adele 2020 album, yes?!” Adele hasn’t released an album since 25 in 2015 but has said that she will release new music in September 2020.

Brazilian YouTuber Hugo Gloss also used the post as an opportunity to ask Adele about her upcoming album: “Honey you can’t just show up like this and say nothing! We need new music!”

Actor Kalen Allen commented: “That waist is snatched!” and posted the same comment on Twitter with Adele’s photo attached. Fans have been remarking on Adele’s weight loss since she posted photos from a Christmas party in December 2019.

YouTuber and makeup artist James Charles commented: “YOU LOOK AMAZING” while Actor and Instagram personality Rickey Thompson said: “That’s my girl” with a heart-eyes emoji.

Lil Nas X commented: “why you won” with a heart-eyes emoji and actress Jameela Jamil simply commented with multiple heart emojis.

Singer Leroy Sanchez predicted the attention Adele’s post would garner and commented: “And the internet breaks in 3… 2… 1…”

Actress Rita Wilson said: “Happy birthday, Adele. Sending you so much love! Looking gorgeous!” and television personality Olivia Pierson said: “Stunning! Happy birthday gorgeous”

Fashion designers Riccardo Tisci and Virgil Abloh both wished Adele a happy birthday, with Tisci commenting and: “Happy birthday beautiful” and Abloh commenting balloon emojis.

Fans have taken to Twitter to comment on Adele’s new look, with Twitter user @popcrayye13 posting four photos of the singer and writing: “Adele may have lost weight but she has always been gorgeous.”

Twitter user @jxeker said: “The thing that has me shook the most about Adele’s new image isn’t even the weight [I don’t care] about that, it’s the hair and the outfits, she went from ‘take me to church’ to ‘take me for drinks’ and I’m here for it.”

Fans have been eagerly awaiting a new album and in February, Adele reportedly told friends that the album would be released in September 2020.

But during an Instagram Live last month, Adele commented, “Come on, it’s 2020—we ain’t meant to get what we want!” and while the singer was referring to technical difficulties, fans are worried this means her album could be postponed.

Adele released her last album, 25, in 2015. It sold 22 million copies worldwide and won Grammys for Album of the Year and Record and Song of the Year for “Hello” in 2016.

Here’s how you can disconnect contact syncing and remove contact list on Instagram

In case your are struggling with discontinuing your contact list syncing on Instagram, then you have come to the right place for the solution.

KEY HIGHLIGHTS

  • Instagram is built with the aim to ease the user’s connectivity and communication.
  • You can connect with people on Instagram by syncing your account with your contact list.
  • In case you want to disconnect the syncing of contact list, then Instagram removes all the previously synced contact info.

Instagram has become one of those few social networking services that we don’t just use for photo or video sharing or posting. The app or the browser is helping us sustain our everyday communication, connectivity and creative needs. Now you must be wondering ‘how does Instagram suffice our creative needs?’

Instagram comes with so many in-built filters and effects for our pictures and videos. We can play along with our posts and stories by adding GIFs, stickers or trending hashtags. And all of this not only helps us get creative but also helps us find new people who share a similar interest like ours. For example, if you follow a particular hashtag on Instagram, you can view every person who has posted a picture with that hashtag and if you want, you can even follow them. These hashtags and stickers could also help stay updated about the activities of your current followers. For example, Instagram recently launched a stay-at-home sticker and then it created a different story for all the people in your following list that used this sticker. You could easily view all the stories as all of them were put together; so you didn’t have to indulge in the task of viewing each profile differently.

There are plenty of ways Instagram connects you with people; you can send them follower requests using mutual followers, you can search for their username and if your Instagram is synced with Facebook, then you can also follow the same people that you have friended on Facebook on Instagram. One another way to stay in touch with your friends and colleagues is by linking your Instagram account with your contact’s list. You can find your friends on Instagram if they have registered their mobile numbers with their Instagram handles. However, there are times when you no more want to keep your contacts synced with your Instagram. In that case, you can discontinue contact syncing and remove your contact list from InstagramHow to disconnect contact syncing and remove contact list on InstagramSTEP 1Visit your profile and tap the three-parallel lined icon on the top right hand cornerSTEP 2Click on Settings > Account > Contact SyncingSTEP 3Click on Connect Contacts and then tap Disconnect

The Obamas will headline YouTube’s graduation ceremony

Igor Bonifacic

It turns out students who are graduating this year will have some options when it comes to their choice of a virtual ceremony. Following Facebook, YouTube announced today it plans to host an online graduation ceremony to honor the class of 2020 as they’re forced to stay home due to the coronavirus pandemic. 

Dubbed “Dear Class of 2020,” the event will kick off on June 6th at 3PM ET, with a commencement address delivered by former President Barack Obama and Michelle Obama. Google CEO Sundar Pichai will also make an appearance, as will musicians like Lady Gaga, Alicia Keys and Kelly Rowland. As you might have guessed from the festival-like lineup, they’ll be musical performances in between speeches. And at the end, K-pop group BTS will host a virtual after-party. 

YouTube will air the entire multi-hour event on its Originals channel, as well as its Learn@Home website. The company plans to share the day’s full schedule on May 17th. 

It’s not a surprise to see Michelle Obama as one of the event’s commencement speakers. The former First Lady is no stranger to working with YouTube. In March, she was one of the stars of the company’s new Creators for Change series. As with Facebook’s virtual graduation, most students would probably prefer to see their friends in person one last time before the end of the school year. That said, it’s not every day someone like the former of the President of the United States delivers your commencement address.

A tough jobs market, pay cuts and an ailing economy have caused unrest among the Indian professionals and those working in IT, media and manufacturing feel their companies will fare worse in the next six months, a new LinkedIn survey said on Tuesday.

More than two in five media professionals said their companies would fare worse in the next six months, exhibiting a bleak outlook towards the short-term future. One in four manufacturing professionals and more than one in five IT professionals felt the same.

The overall findings showed that one in three Indians have reported a decrease in their personal incomes, whereas 48 per cent of active job seekers and 43 per cent of full-time professionals anticipate fewer job openings in the next two weeks.

LinkedIn’s second ‘Workforce Confidence Index’ shows a slight dip in the overall confidence towards future opportunities as professionals foresee testing times ahead.

NBA’S RUDY GOBERT CLAPS BACK AT COVID TROLL ON STREAM … ‘Go To School, P***y’

“Go to school, p***y!”

That’s how Rudy Gobertreacted when a fan trolled him over his coronavirus diagnosis on a Twitch stream Monday … with the NBA player pausing his game to dish out the clap back.

The Utah Jazz star — whose COVID-19 diagnosis in March was ultimately the impetus for the NBA suspending its season — was playing Call of Duty when someone went off in the comments.

The remark has since been removed from Gobert’s chat history … but the person behind the comment claims it said, “Thanks for starting covid in the nba dumbass.”

Gobert — who answers comments periodically during his gaming — stopped his avatar for a few seconds to fire back at user “gbgator” … saying, “Hey, gabo, gato, gator — go to school, p***y!”

Gobert has been very open about his struggles with COVID-19 since testing positive, apologizing for his flippant actions prior to the test … and even saying the virus made him lose his sense of smell.

Gobert also admitted the diagnosis affected his relationship with teammate Donovan Mitchell, who reportedly was upset with the way Rudy acted before testing positive.

But, Gobert — who’s now cleared of the virus — has since said he’s working on burying the hatchet with Mitchell … and is already training hard for whenever the NBA season resumes

Twitter Test Asks Users to Revise Tweets With ‘Harmful’ Language

Sean Burch

Twitter wants you to watch your language while tweeting, with the company on Tuesday saying it had started running a test that notifies users to revise their reply tweets if they contain “harmful” words.

“When things get heated,  you may say things you don’t mean,” Twitter’s support account tweeted. “To let you rethink a reply, we’re running a limited expiriment on iOS with a prompt that gives you the option to revise your reply before it’s published if it uses language that could be harmful.”

When things get heated, you may say things you don’t mean. To let you rethink a reply, we’re running a limited experiment on iOS with a prompt that gives you the option to revise your reply before it’s published if it uses language that could be harmful.

— Twitter Support (@TwitterSupport) May 5, 2020

Reps for Twitter did not immediately respond to how many users may see the new prompt as part of the test; the reps also didn’t immediately respond to what the company considers “harmful.”

Still, Twitter’s hateful conduct rules offer some insight into what the company considers off-limits language.

“We prohibit targeting individuals with repeated slurs, tropes or other content that intends to dehumanize, degrade or reinforce negative or harmful stereotypes about a protected category,” Twitter’s rules outline. “This includes targeted misgendering or deadnaming of transgender individuals.”

Twitter has spent much of the last few years rolling out new rules to police its service. In 2018, Twitter started banishing mean tweets to the “show more replies” section at the bottom of reply threads.

It’s unclear when a potential rollout for the think-before-you-tweet notification would take place, if Twitter brings it to the masses.

Pixar’s YouTube channel shares cooking tutorials inspired by its movies

‘Cooking with Pixar’ could help add some spice to your quarantine meals

Thomas Metevia

Cooking With Pixar -YouTube

If there is one thing Pixar has taught us, it’s that “anyone can cook.”

Now the award-winning animation studio is giving us something to cook, with the help of its new cooking tutorials.

“Cooking With Pixar” is a new series featured on the Pixar YouTube channel.

Each video shows a step-by-step process for making easy recipes that kids of all ages can help out with.

The collection of recipes is inspired by films such as “Toy Story,” “Onward” and the short “Bao.”

The quick videos include fun animation, with our favorite Pixar characters stopping by to help demonstrate the recipes.

So, what are we making?

The latest upload features a birthday cake inspired by Pixar’s latest film, “Onward.”

Elf brothers Ian and Barley help you along your quest to make a cake fit for any wizard.

The brothers mix, bake and frost a vanilla cake that looks way too good to eat — seriously.

Pepperoni pizza

In the mood for something less sweet and more savory? How about pizza?

Who hasn’t wondered what pizza from Pizza Planet would taste like? Well, now’s your chance to test it out. Cook alongside Forkey from “Toy Story 4” as you create a Pizza Planet pepperoni pizza with bell pepper rings. The pie is fit for any toy, big or small.

Dumplings

Families can also recreate Bao, the iconic dumpling featured in Pixar’s Oscar-winning short of the same name. Spoiler alert, there are no measurements listed in the video, however, you can find them written here.

Everything in this video is made from scratch, starting with the dough and ending with the pork filling.

These recipes are a perfect excuse to get the kids in the kitchen and have fun, while also making a great meal.

It’s important to note that Pixar’s cooking videos don’t include ingredient portions or measurements. So, if you aren’t comfortable cooking that way, it might be a good idea to keep a similar recipe handy to compare.

Here’s hoping that we get more Pixar-inspired recipes soon.

Anyone up for some “Ratatouille?”
