Ruth Langsford‘s fans have compared her to the late Princess Diana after she shared a rare photo from her pregnancy. The presenter, who shares 18-year-old son Jack with her husband and This Morning co-star Eamonn Holmes, posted the sweet picture to Instagram on Saturday. It showed her standing next to her best friend Sam at her friend’s son’s christening.
The two women were both dressed in pink, with Sam sporting a fuchsia floral print dress and matching hat and Ruth rocking a pale trouser suit. The 60-year-old captioned the snapshot: “Sorting through some old photos and found this…19 yrs ago at my Godson Charlie’s christening.
Ruth went on: “The day before I had just found out I was pregnant with Jack! @eamonnholmes was away with the children so my best friend here @balshaw.sam was the first to know… a very special moment together. We’ve shared a lot of those during our 30 yr friendship… thanks mate [heart emoji]. She’s fairly new to all this so it would be lovely if you give her a follow and say hello #friendship #bff.”
One of Ruth’s followers was quick to point out a royal resemblance, commenting: “This look is iconic @ruthlangsford, it’s giving me Princess Diana realness.” Her other fans agreed, chiming in: “Defo agree Ruth!! Big Princess Di vibes here,” and: “Honestly she’s the spitting image of her.”
Ruth posted the stunning throwback photo to Instagram
Other followers just wanted to compliment the star on the stylish look, writing: “You have not changed at all, still got your lovely figure and smile,” “She is a natural beauty,” and: “Lovely photo…you still look exactly the same x.” Even Eamonn joined in, adding: “Looking at her here Sam, it comes as no surprise she was expecting ….. Just Gorgeous,” to which Ruth responded with two heart emojis.
The Loose Women regular also added a comment that revealed where she bought her pretty outfit, writing: “Can remember where the suit was from…. @lkbennettlondon. It had a little matching handbag which @balshaw.sam was always trying to pinch from me!” Can’t say we blame her…
Can the Kardashian-Jenners stay relevant now that they’re getting older? Many fans agree that interest in the family has already peaked and they might not have much left to offer on their reality show. With every family member embarking on other business ventures, they’ve diversified enough that they don’t need to depend on the TV show. And even though they’re all social media influencers, some fans think that the Kardashian-Jenners might struggle to hold on to relevancy — unless they start adding their kids into the mix more.

Have people lost interest in the Kardashian-Jenners? Fans are still tuning in to Keeping Up With the Kardashians and following their every move on Instagram, but there are many who agree that interest in the family might fizzle eventually.
When one fan asked on Reddit, “Do you think that they will remain relevant this decade?,” there was some agreement that it might get progressively harder for the Kardashian-Jenners to keep people interested in their brands.
“I believe they will still be relevant and well known but less in the spotlight,” one Redditor shared, adding, “The show however I can’t imagine them doing it for another decade.”
The Redditor also had a full idea of some of the career avenues each of the sisters might explore. “Kim is trying to set up her future right now, we can see her making major changes in her life. I imagine her launching more products or even another brand and I think she‘ll go more into the producing role with other tv shows. I can see her being a part of more docuseries and her founding some sort of organization for justice reform,” they noted.
For Khloe, they anticipate her being on a show like The View or Fashion Police or even hosting a radio show and producing shows. They don’t think she’ll launch another brand, however. The Redditor also predicted that, since Kourtney wanted off the show, she might not be in the spotlight much except for her work on her lifestyle site Poosh. They added that “she‘ll probably do things like flipping houses but I just can‘t imagine her seeking attention from the public. She seems to be over being famous.”
Kendall, according to the Redditor, will continue modeling and “might launch a clothing brand herself” and possibly could pursue photography or acting.
“Kylie will ride the wave of being an influencer until the end,” the Redditor noted. “She might do more on her YouTube channel but I can‘t see her launching another brand. I think there will be an overhaul of Kylie Cosmetics and they will try make it more high end and less focused on her image. That way the brand won‘t have to rely as much on her popularity anymore and can stand for itself.”
Many fans agreed that the Kardashian-Jenner sisters just aren’t as relevant anymore, given their ages. “I can see Kylie and Kendall staying relevant because of age,” one Redditor wrote, but explained that the older Kardashian sisters might not be as relatable. “Teenagers who will decide what future trends should be are more interested in influencers close to their age… not a 40 year old,” they wrote.
Other Reddit users agreed and some thought that bringing the kids into the mix might be the solution. One Redditor commented, “Their kids… the next generation” and another said that for Kim, Khloe, and Kylie specifically, “posting their kids on social media” could keep the momentum going.
Another Reddit user offered, This might be unethical of me but I do hope to see a spinoff with the kids IF (big if, don’t attack me) that is what they want. I would never want children to be forced into the limelight if they do not choose that life, but the selfish part of me is definitely SO curious on how they will grow up.”
90 Day Fiancé star Tom Brooks has caught a lot of flak during his most recent season on the show with Darcey Silva, and it doesn’t look like that’s slowing down anytime soon. By now, fans of the show who follow the cast members on social media know that Brooks has a penchant for lashing out at his critics and trolls. They also may know that Brooks often resorts to body shaming in his attempts to clapback. Now, Brooks has gone ahead and made a sweeping statement about Americans that has some fans readying their pitchforks.

When 90 Day Fiancé couple Tom Brooks and Darcey Silva called it quits, things didn’t end well. The two met up to discuss the status of their relationship, with Silva angling to get to the bottom of a photo Brooks took with another woman.
While Silva’s focus was on infidelity, Brooks felt as though she doesn’t listen to what he’s actually saying often enough. He went on to tell her that she was too hung up on her last 90 Day Fiancé ex, Jesse Meester. He said, “You were so preoccupied with other things. It was really hard for me to listen to the Jesse thing all the time.”
At the end of the discussion, when it was clear that things were not getting patched up anytime soon, Brooks asked Silva, “Did you put weight on?”
Fans were shocked by the pettiness of Brooks’ comment. The reality star took to Instagram to post a half-hearted apology in which he blamed editing for the moment. He wrote, “The truth is they edited the hell out of the scene … it was one of the first things I said after the first 20 takes of her jacket falling of coming into the building to meet me … I was like come on get on with it …. followed by the scene you saw “have you put on weight”, it’s out of context and chopped to create drama I can only again apologise to her and anyone offended by the scene [sic].”
It remains unclear how asking someone who is sensitive about their appearance if they gained weight could have been used out of context.

Unfortunately, Tom Brooks was caught doubling down on his body shaming on Instagram. A Redditor posted a screenshot of an interaction between Brooks and a 90 Day Fiancé fan on the social media platform.
A commenter asked Brooks on Instagram, “Think it’s funny to body shame a woman[?]”
Brooks fired back, “Those in glass houses even the dog has en edge in you [sic].”
Brooks then went for the weight comment, adding, “Look Leslie I’m sure you hear that all the time … you could try a diet

As if Tom Brooks hasn’t given 90 Day Fiancé fans enough ammo against him already, he was recently caught disparaging the entirety of Americans as a culture.
One fan of the show commented on his Instagram, “Bro you smashed even [Babygirl Lisa] how thirsty are you? God you’ll end up alone just like her.” For the record, there is no evidence that Brooks and Babygirl Lisa got intimate.
Brooks replied, “You Americans really don’t understand how to be nice do you?”
Some Redditors found rich irony in Brooks’ reply. One user wrote, “Calling Darcy fat was nice huh. What a d**che.”
Another user added, “If we’re so awful why is he always so horny to get into our country?”
“Because using and toying with an emotionally unstable desperate woman and trying to humiliate her on national TV is just the epitome of nice,” commented one Redditor.
Love Island’s Molly-Mae Hague returns to social media after death of dog Mr Chai with glimpse at new home
Sarah Deen
Love Island star Molly-Mae Hague has returned to social media after the death of her dog Mr Chai. Molly-Mae and boyfriend Tommy Fury’s pomeranian puppy died just six days after they welcomed him into their home. The couple shared that the poor pup had a series of health issues, including his skull not forming properly, exposing part of his brain. Many people were outraged, accusing them of only getting the dog for Instagram photo opportunities. In a video they hit back at online trolls, with Molly-Mae stepping back from social media. Molly-Mae and Tommy were recently spotted packing up their belongings and moving out of their Manchester flat.
Now the Love Island star has shared a sneak peek inside their new pad, posting a picture on Instagram of all their stuff in boxes. She told fans that they needed ‘a change of scenery’.
Addressing the recent furore, Molly-Mae said on her Instagram Stories: ‘I don’t want to dwell on the last couple of weeks but what I do want to say is thank you. ‘Thank you to every single person who has sent me such thoughtful messages asking me how I am and making sure I’m okay, it has meant the world to me.
‘I’ve enjoyed a much needed break from my phone but I’m back now and ready to get stuck into some really exciting things I have coming up.’ The reality TV star also posted a glam shot of herself on the patio of her new home, showing off its sleek and simple decor including a huge, comfortable grey sofa.
She also posted a snap of their telly (they were watching the boxing, obvs) sharing that she and Tommy are having a ‘lazy Sunday’, adding another pic of her man chilling out in the front room. In a YouTube video, the couple became very emotional as they spoke about their decision to buy from a seller who had brought the dog over from Russia
‘People that are saying we bought him for Instagram likes, please stop saying that,’ Molly-Mae told viewers, adding that she had made certificates proving all the pups injections had been done. ‘Our lives are on social media, my full-time job is to show you guys what I’m doing,’ she said. ‘If I didn’t have Instagram, he wouldn’t be on Instagram. ‘We’re not asking for any kind of sympathy. What’s happened is awful. I’m asking you to understand that the dog travelling from Russia is not the reason he died.’
JOS BEAUTIFUL Jacqueline Jossa shocks fans with ‘incredible’ make-up transformation

JACQUELINE Jossa has stunned fans after showing off her incredible make-up transformation.
The mum-of-two left followers speechless as she unveiled the glamorous new look on Instagram.
Jacqueline Jossa stunned fans in a recent Instagram snap
Jacqueline, 27, looked sensational while sporting a full face of dramatic make-up and a blue hoodie.
The former EastEnders star completed the look with a slick bun, ensuring her intricate eye make-up was on full show.
Alongside the photo, she simply wrote: “Baby.”
Fans were quick to gush over the snap, with one writing: “Your makeup is incredible and you look so beautiful ?.”

Another said: “The epitome of beauty right there!”
A third commented: “Why do you need to be so stunning!”
The former Queen of the Jungle recently admitted that she “hasn’t really been in a good mood” after moving back in with her husband Dan Osborne.
Seemingly during a moment of self reflection on Instagram, Jacqueline opened up about how she was feeling to her 2.7m followers.

She said: “I’m having a little reflect on how much on how you get up in the morning and your mood and stuff can just change.”I feel like I’m in a good mood today, I wasn’t really, I haven’t really been.
“I just think staying motivated and stuff is super important and it’s so easy to get out of that funk and you just think what’s the point?
“But yeah just carry on, have a little dance, it really cheers you up honestly.”
Last month, the former soap star star moved out of her £1million family home that she shares with husband Dan, 28, and their two kids – Ella, five, and one-year-old Mia.
Despite forgiving Dan for cheating on her in the past and claiming they were “stronger than ever,” the actress took to Instagram to confirm the split.
She wrote: “I need some time. There is no split. No divorce. We are working together not against each other. Change your headlines please. Thanks.”
AS SOCIAL MEDIA platforms have evolved, they’ve become more and more about the moment—what you’re doing now, rather than what you were doing five years ago. While looking back through photos and posts can be heart-warming and provide a buzz of nostalgia, it can also be painful and embarrassing.
If your social media life spans more than a few years then you might not want friends, family, or prospective employers looking back on the sort of person that you used to be. Here we’ll show you how you can scrub your timelines on the three biggest social platforms, using both built-in tools and third-party add-ons.
Before you get started, don’t forget you have the option of backing up your posts first (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram). We should also remind you that you use these third-party tools at your own risk—remember you’re giving them access to all of your social media history, and perhaps more, so bear that in mind before connecting.Facebook
Facebook has now added a bulk delete tool to make it easier to clean up your posts, photos, and feed. In the apps for Android and iOS, tap your avatar (top left), then tap the three dots and choose Activity Log. From here pick Manage activity and Your posts to see everything you’ve ever posted (you might have to use the Filters button to limit what’s shown on-screen).
Use the tick boxes on the left to select the posts you want to manage, then you’ve got two options: Archive hides the posts from everyone else on Facebook except you, while Recycle bin deletes the posts but allows you to recover them for a period of 30 days. To trash them before those 30 days are up, tap Recycle bin on the same screen, select the posts, and tap the trash icon (or the Restore button to bring them back).
On the web, open your profile then click Manage posts under the status update box. You can then search through your posts (filtering them if needed), and select the ones you want to remove—click Next then Delete posts to confirm. As far as we can tell this skips the recycle bin option, but this should be added to the online interface soon.

ALTERNATIVELY, ANY SINGLE post on your profile can be deleted on mobile or on the web by tapping the three dots next to it and choosing Delete—again, if you remove posts this way you won’t get the safety net of the recycle bin, and the post will be gone forever immediately.
Remember that Facebook gives you more control than Twitter and Instagram over who can see your posts. Individual posts can be set to be viewed by just your family members, or just a small group of friends, or just you alone. Tap the three dots beside a post then Edit audience (web) or Edit privacy (mobile) to configure this.
A variety of third-party plug-ins will take on the job of clearing out your old Facebook posts too: A couple of the best options we’ve found are a free Chrome extension called Social Book Post Manager and a freemium privacy app called Jumbo (for Android and iOS), which can both scan through your posting history on Facebook and remove older posts.Twitter
Twitter has yet to roll out a bulk delete tool of its own, but you can remove your tweets one by one through the official interface—if you’ve been a prolific tweeter, this may take you some time. From your Twitter profile on the web, click the downward arrow next to any of your tweets, then choose Delete. You do get a confirmation dialog, but there’s no way to restore tweets once they’re gone.
If you’re using the official app for Android or iOS, the process is pretty much the same: Open up your profile, tap the downward arrow next to a tweet, and choose Delete Tweet (the other option on this menu sets the post as the pinned tweet on your profile, which is almost the opposite of removing it).
You’ve got more choices here in terms of third-party tools than you do with Facebook, and again the freemium Jumbo for Android and iOS will do the job. Connect it up to your Twitter account, and then choose Set up under the archive option. You can remove tweets older than a day, a week, a month, or three months (Jumbo calls it “archiving” because it saves the tweets to your phone, but they’re removed from Twitter).
TweetDelete is an excellent online tool for bulk deleting tweets.SCREENSHOT: DAVID NIELD VIA TWEETDELETE
The freemium TweetDelete on the web is another popular and easy-to-use option. Plug it into your Twitter account, and you can choose to delete tweets that are older than one week, two weeks, one month, two months, three months, six months, or a year. You can also remove tweets containing certain words, and have the process run automatically every few days if needed.
From what we can tell, TweetDelete is just about the best option out there, but there are alternatives. Tweet Deleter on the web is another polished freemium app that we’ve come across—it lets you pick out tweets from a list, and filter by date if needed, and it also has an auto-delete feature for cleaning up old tweets as you go.
The other options out there don’t look quite as reliable or aren’t quite as up to date as the three we’ve mentioned. Whichever one you pick, bear in mind that Twitter limitations mean you can only remove 3,200 tweets at a time—to get around that restriction (to erase everything at once, for example) you need to upload your entire Twitter archive to your chosen service, so only do this with apps that you absolutely trust.Instagram
Instagram has the option of story posts, which only last 24 hours and are then automatically deleted, an idea it ripped off from the original ephemeral platform, Snapchat. If you don’t want to leave a social media trail behind, using stories on Instagram (or just using Snapchat) is a good idea. Facebook has actually copied this idea too, but we’re assuming you’re more likely to use it on Instagram.
As for photos and videos that you’ve posted to your Instagram feed for the whole world to see, you can remove these by going to your profile, selecting the post and then tapping on the three dots and Delete. For whatever reason this is only available in the apps for Android and iOS at the moment—it hasn’t made its way to the web interface.
Instagram lets you delete posts, but you have to work through them one by one.SCREENSHOT: DAVID NIELD VIA INSTAGRAM
You’ll also see an Archive option on the same menu, which hides the photo or video from your profile, so no one else can see it but you. If you want a particular post to be hidden from view but still want to look back on it yourself, use this option instead.
Third-party options for bulk deleting Instagram posts are pretty much non-existent at this point: Instagram controls access from outside add-ons very tightly, and because the delete feature isn’t available on the web, that also rules out any clever browser extensions that might want to do the job. If you want to delete your older Instagram posts, you need to go through the official channels.
Jennifer Aniston posted a bittersweet video of Breonna Taylor, who was killed by police in her own home in Mar., and captioned it with a message that encouraged her fans to help in the fight for justice.
Jennifer Aniston, 51, is showing her support for Breonna Taylor and bringing awareness to her tragic story. The actress shared a video clip of the late African American EMT, who was shot and killed by police in Louisville, KY on March 13 while sleeping in her bed during a raid at her home, and in it, she is happily lip syncing with her sister while sharing laughs. She added a touching caption to the clip along with what she called “America’s To Do List” which featured a call of action to get justice for Breonna’s heartbreaking death.
“This is a video of #BreonnaTaylor and her little sister just living their lives. Breonna is one of many Black people in America who have been senselessly killed by police officers,” Jennifer’s message began. “The officers who broke into her house while she was sleeping and shot her eight times, STILL have not been arrested. It’s unacceptable and it breaks my heart. ? While we mourn with her family and the rest of the country, please #SayHerName… Make noise, make phone calls, and demand justice.”
Jennifer’s “America’s To Do List” included the names of some politicians in Louisville such as Mayor Greg Fischer and Kentucky Attorney General Daniel Cameron as well as the phone numbers they can be reached at. She also suggested actions to take like calling them and demanding the police officers involved in Breonna’s shooting be “fired” and “charged” with her murder. “America has A LOT of work to do – so I made a to-do list,” Jennifer continued her caption. “Swipe, and share it, tweet it, scream it, sing it, print it out, send it to your friends. Whatever you can do. Let’s get going ✔️? More in my bio ??”
Although the FBI is currently investigating the shooting that took Breonna’s life, the officers have not yet been fired or charged. News of her death came around the same time as George Floyd‘s tragic death, which also happened at the hands of police, and it’s prompted thousands of people to protest around the world to seek out racial justice. The Black Live Matter movement has been put back in the spotlight over the past several weeks and is proving to make a difference.
On June 11, as a direct result of Breonna’s death, a ban on no-knock search warrants, which is what allowed police officers to enter Breonna’s apartment without knocking, was passed in Louisville. The new ban is appropriately called “Breonna’s Law” and the metro city council of Louisville unanimously voted to pass it.
