One of the celebrity couples to call it quits in the midst of the pandemic is Megan Fox and Brian Austin Green, who have decided to split (again) after a decade of marriage and three children together. While there was speculation about the couple’s state of affairs, Green confirmed the news on an episode of his podcast, saying:ADVERTISEMENT

“Neither one of us did anything to each other. She’s always been honest with me. I’ve always been honest with her. We’ve had an amazing relationship. I will always love her. And I know she will always love me and I know as far as a family what we have built is really cool and really special.”

Going Public

There were rumors that Fox was dating rapper Machine Gun Kelly after appearing opposite him in his music video “Bloody Valentine.” They were seen out and about together, but there was no confirmation that they were more than friends.

However, this week saw a shift in that narrative, as the couple was seen out in public holding hands in Sherman Oaks, California, on Monday. On top of that, Kelly posted an Instagram story of a romantic picnic with the caption “in love.” While Fox’s face isn’t show in the video, it’s pretty clear that she’s the woman who got the roses and bento box. I’d say that it is officially on.

Starting Out As Friends

Fox and Kelly originally started out as friends, which Green confirmed on his podcast. He explained that Fox had informed him of the friendship and they discussed Kelly when the original pictures of the two of them went public.ADVERTISEMENT

“She met this guy, Colson, on set … I’ve never met him. Megan and I have talked about him. They’re just friends at this point. I trust her judgment, she’s always had really good judgment. I don’t want people to think her or he are villains or that I was a victim in any way.”

Backlash To An Ex?

The timing of this relationship rollout does feel slightly suspect, though, after photos of Green out with reality star Courtney Stodden hit the gossip mill on Monday as well. The 90210 star was seen having lunch with Stodden, who recently finalized her divorce from The Green Mile actor Doug Hutchison.

Stodden shot to fame (or infamy) after marrying Hutchison when she was only 16 years old and he was 50. A source told TMZ that Green and Stodden were just friends from social media.

Either way, it seems like Fox and Green are both moving on.

Instagram is very strict when it comes to sharing. You have to be a little creative when it comes to sharing other people’s posts, and sharing links, other than in your bio, isn’t possible. That is, unless, you share links in your Stories. Here’s how to become eligible to share links in your Stories, and then how to do it.

How to become eligible

There is only one way to get the ability to share links. First, you need a business account or creator account, then you need over 10,000 followers. I can’t help you with getting the followers, but switching from a personal account to a business or creator account is simple.

In the app, tap on the menu icon above your following number on your profile page. Then, tap on Settings at the bottom of the menu. From there, tap Account and Switch to a Business Account or Switch to a Creator’s Account. Read the popup on the screen and then tap Switch to. Now you’re ready for linking action.

How to create a link in Stories

Once you have your requirements met, adding a link to a Story is easy. Start a Story like you normally would, then tap the link icon at the top of the screen. Next, tap the + icon and add your link. Finish by tapping the blue checkmark icon or Done, depending on what type of phone you have. Now you can post your Story.

You may notice that on the linking screen, there is an option to allow a business partner to promote. Not everyone will have that option. It basically just a label that is added to a post during a paid partnership scenario and allows your partner to see how well the post is doing and promote it. You don’t really have to worry about this option.

Once your Story is live, a call to action will be added to your post. At the bottom of the screen will be a note that says “Learn More” and an icon that encourages viewers to swipe up. When your viewer swipes up, they are automatically taken to whatever you linked to.

To encourage more swipes, it’s helpful to add an animated “swipe up” GIF sticker to your Story to really drive home that you want people to take action. There are many different types of these stickers, so you’re sure to find one that matches your Story’s aesthetic.

An Instagram model decided to mark her special milestone by posting a series of sexy snaps of herself – and fans are loving it.

Mathilde Tantot recently hit a whopping 7 million followers on her Instagram account.

And the beauty, who is often pictured posing for Fashion Nova, is certainly not a shy one on social media.

In her recent posts, the French and Persian beauty tends to show off a lot of flesh while posing in the tiniest bikinis.

Now to celebrate her big achievement, Mathilde decided to really treat the followers to three jaw-dropping photos of her perky bum.

Posting earlier this week, the babe leaned on a table to make her bum the centre of attention.

She wore a green crop top jumper and white underwear as she posed in three different positions for her Instagram shot.

Her caption read: “Hope your weekend was good. @fashionnova fashionnovapartner. 7M.”

And it was no surprise that the model gave her fans exactly what they wanted with a whopping 844,800 liking the post.

One said: “You’re beautiful.”

Another added: “Divine.”

While a third wrote: “It’s better now thank you.”

And a fourth gushed on the post: “Babe.”

In a post before her milestone, Mathilde sent an important message to her fans about road safety.

She ditched her clothes to pose totally naked behind the wheel with the seatbelt covering her modesty.

Her caption read: “I saw this photo, then I did it. Don’t forget to fasten your seatbelt.”

At the time of posting, over 835,000 followers rushed to like the naked snap with thousands commenting on it.

Stacey Solomon, 30, is reported by The Sun newspaper to take home potentially £14,500 per Instagram post according to pre-owned watch and jewellery specialist EST1897. The presenter first became popular on The X Factor and secured her place in the nation’s heart with an appearance on I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! in 2010.

Since then her career has gone from strength to strength and the star now has over 3.4 million followers.

She uses her online platform to discuss motherhood, fashion and cleaning hacks, which has won her legions of new fans.

It is no wonder that the much-loved presenter can reportedly charge such impressively high sums for promoting products on her account including a recent paid sponsorship with Primark.

Her long-term partner Joe Swash is also said to make healthy profits from social media, if the pair joined forces EST1897 found they could charge £21,000 a post to promote to their combined 4.5 million followers.

The latest study ranked Celebrity Gogglebox stars on their Instagram follower count and potential earnings using a system called inkfi.com

It was also found that Harry Redknapp could take home £5,800 per social media post, meanwhile, Capital Radio host Roman Kemp could charge an equally impressive £5,100.

The star recently explained to her Instagram followers how she was suffering from sleep deprivation during lockdown.

She explained how her baby son Rex had been keeping her up late most nights.

Stacey revealed: “This is the only way he goes down on his own at the moment but I don’t mind because it’s made such a massive difference to his night’s sleep.

“I felt like I was losing the plot when he started waking in the night again a few weeks back.”

She then showed on camera two handy household items that helped baby Rex fall asleep without her.

The first was a night light that displays stars on the ceiling and the second a device that emits white noise.

The former X Factor contestant explained: “I bought a cheap nightlight from Amazon that puts stars on the ceiling (he’s mesmerised by it).”

She added: “Whenever he sleeps at night try and get his day naps in the same place and do the same good night routine every time. Mine is story, kiss, cuddle, lay down and good night Rex.”(sic)

The sleep deprivation had got so bad, that Stacey was forced to temporarily suspend using social media altogether.

The Loose Women star told fans: “I’m going to have my ‘phone in a drawer day’ tomorrow… I try and do it once a week and I think I’ll need it in the morning.”

Recently Stacey appeared on Celebrity Gogglebox alongside Joe as they bickered on camera.

In a shocking turn, Joe called Stacey a “dictator” over her love of labelling.

He light-heartedly fumed: “I can’t live my life by your labels! Honestly, it’s like living with a dictator!”

Joe went on: “Everything’s got a place, everything’s got to go somewhere.”

NBC’s The Voice really takes the theme of chairs turning literally. The coaching panel for season 19 of the show was just announced and it may come as a bit of a shock that Nick Jonas is not on it. Instead, fans will see the return of Gwen Stefani as one of the coaches.

The new panel of coaches was confirmed in an Instagram post on The Voice account.

Gwen Stefani Is Finally Returning To ‘The Voice’

Stefani will be joining Kelly Clarkson, John Legend and boyfriend Blake Shelton when The Voice is slated to return this fall. Jonas was only a coach for one season but it is not ruled out that he will rejoin the coaches again in a later season. As you may know, The Voice has a rotating panel of coaches which has included in the past Miley Cyrus, Alicia Keys, Christina Aguilera and Jennifer Hudson.

Stefani first made her debut as a coach in Season 7 along with Seasons 9, 12 and 17. Her Las Vegas residency was a contributing factor as to why she left the show after season 17. She was also an advisor to Team Pharell and Team Blake on seasons 8 and 10 of the show. But it seems like Stefani is ready to make her return and take the crown after Shelton’s team took home the win with artist Todd Tilghman last season.

People Are Shocked That Nick Is Not Returning To The Show

While people are freaking out that Stefani is making her return to The Voice, others couldn’t help but wonder what happened to Jonas. “What happened to NICK?????” asked one person in an Instagram comment. Another similarly asked, “WHERE IS NICK JONAS ARE U KIDDING ME!!!!” Literally all of the comments were buzzing about Jonas’ absence from season 19.

People also left comments asking the producers to bring back Jonas because of the chemistry he had with the other coaches. Jonas has yet to speak out about why he will not be returning to the next season of The Voice. Recently he has been posting on social media about the Black Lives Matter movement so maybe more answers will be coming from him at a later date. But again, a return to the show cannot fully be ruled out sometime in the future.

It simply could just be that Jonas was not available during the time that the season is slated to be filmed. With the coronavirus pandemic still looming, many air dates and schedules are up in the air. Meanwhile, the Gwen Stefani fans are ready for her return to the hit show and her iconic looks with her bold red lipstick.

She will be looking for her first win as a coach on the show and die-hard fans absolutely cannot wait.

Are you surprised that Gwen Stefani is returning to The Voice?

Ariana Grande is still followed by Starbucks, but the “thank u, next” singer today unfollowed the coffee giant. Ariana, 26, is currently climbing up Twitter trends for her decision to shade the Seattle-based chain amid the brand’s controversial decision to ban employees from wearing Black Lives Matter clothing – a policy that’s since been reversed. Starbucks is now making headlines for a “backtrack” after it ruled out employees “[violating]” the company’s dress code policy by toting #BLM attire. The pop princess, followed by 190 million, herself once updated in Starbucks’ green apron as she promoted the Cloud Macchiato. The vibe appears to have changed.ADVERTISEMENT

Literally, ‘Thank U, Next’

Ariana unfollowed Starbucks on Tuesday morning. She also took to her Instagram stories to promote other, and lesser-known coffee brands, posting an iced beverage from Nimbus Coffee, a wizard-themed coffee outlet in L.A. “mmmmmmmm @nimbus_coffee_la ⚡,” she wrote, then posting a beverage from Undergrind Cafe. Starbucks’ initial policies ruled out employees from wearing Black Lives Matter clothing or accessories while working. A bulletin had stated that employees were “not permitted to wear buttons or pins that advocate a political, religious or personal issue.”

Starbucks Quickly Backtracks After Backlash

Social media did not respond well to the policy, with June 12 seeing the company reverse its policy in a tweet reading: “Black Lives Matter. We continue to listen to our partners and communities and their desire to stand for justice together. The Starbucks Black Partner Network co-designed t-shirts with this graphic that will soon be sent to 250,000+ store partners.” A statement also issued by the brand behind the Frappuccino addressed the movement revived after the May 25 death of black man George Floyd.

The ‘Bucks Backs Down

The statement read: “These are alarming, uncertain times, and people everywhere are hurting. You’ve told us you need to express yourself at work, asking: ‘Do you understand how I feel? Do you understand the black community is in pain?’” continuing: “We see you. We hear you. Black lives matter. That is a fact and will never change.” Ariana, whose Starbucks cup fills her Instagram feed, has also jokingly ordering a “Grande” during her “Carpool Karaoke” Starbucks stop with James Corden in 2019. She also fronted the brand more officially last year.

Fronted The Cloud Macchiato

2019 brought the former “Victorious” star in a popular Instagram post as she posed in the iconic green apron and snuggling a dog while holding the Cloud Macchiato beverage. The star’s last name is, of course, the Grande medium-sized drink, with the cloud being both a tattoo the singer has, plus her perfume. As to Starbucks, which has faced boycott threats over its controversy, it’s now allowing employees to “wear Black Lives Matter t-shirts, pins, and name tags.” Ariana largely sees herself backed by fans on Twitter.

During Pride Month, members of the LGBTQ+ community often share their personal journeys to understanding their sexual orientation or their gender identities. If they’re comfortable, some even use the opportunity to come out to friends and family. Like Tana Mongeau, who came out as pansexual to her 5 million Instagram followers in her Pride Month post.

“I never thought I’d be brave enough to publicly share my sexuality in the way I do now.. I still struggle with it- I hate the boxes, I hate people telling me i’m straight or discrediting my relationship if i’m with a girl,” Mongeau began her June 15 Instagram post. “But I’m proud to be not only a member but an ally of the LGBTQIA+ community.”

The 21-year old YouTube star then explained how she’s attracted to all genders. While the technical term for someone who is attracted to people regardless of their sex or gender identity is pansexual, Mongeau says she’s not worried about labeling her sexuality at all.

“I’m proud to say i will live my life based on loving people not for their gender but their soul. Some people call that pansexuality, everyone calls me bi, I personally don’t find a need to label it all.. love and sexuality is gender less to me & I’m so lucky to have this platform to speak openly about that,” she continued.

While Mongeau has only now opened up about her sexual orientation, she has been very public about her previous relationships with both men and women through the years. After dating actress Bella Thorne from September 2017 to February 2019, she began seeing fellow YouTuber Jake Paul, whom she tied the knot with in Las Vegas (although the stars confirmed the ceremony was not legally binding).

Currently, fans think Mongeau is dating Noah Cyrus. In her coming out post, she even included a picture with the singer, but Mongeau didn’t confirm whether they’re really together or just friends.

Take a look at Mongeau’s Instagram post below.

Mongeau ended her statement with a sweet message directed to all her LGBTQ+ fans: “I LOVE ALL OF U LGBTQIA BABIES, EXACTLY WHO YOU FEEL LIKE INSIDE IS EXACTLY WHO YOU ARE MEANT TO BE ?️‍??.”
