TAYLOR SWIFT DEFENDS HAYLEY KIYOKO

-

The hearts of picture perfect couple Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds’ fans almost broke because of a rumour. But, the couple were quick in debunking it. Indian website Internatio­nal Business Times quoted OK! Magazine’s source as saying that the couple is “struggling to spend quality time” and that they could be headed for divorce.

With his signature humour, Ryan responded to the report on Twitter saying, “I wish. I could use a little ‘ me time.’” He also shared the link to the article that he claims is bogus.

The source had said, “The past few years, Ryan’s been working out of town while Blake stays home with the kids. The distance between them has taken its toll,”

But, Gossip Cop, a website that gauges the authentici­ty of celebrity news, said it was a 100 per cent rumour!

Gossip Cop states, “The magazine’s ( OK!’ s) account of events is inaccurate on several levels. For starters, Lively revealed in an interview with People. com last October that she and her husband ‘ don’t work at the same time.’ The actress further noted that they ‘ all go together as a family’ whenever one of them is on location shooting a project. ‘ We stay together,’ she added.” In

the Netflix series Santa Clarita Diet, the human flesh that Drew Barrymore’s character eats is made out of various items, including gummy bears, dehydrated apples, beet paste, pasta and moistened cake. They were all vegetarian items as Barrymore does not eat meat. Mandy Moore achieved her teenage dream recently — climbing Mount Kilimanjar­o, the highest mountain in Africa. JustJared. com reports that she trekked along with her fiance Taylor Goldsmith. Mandy shared on Instagram, “I have dreamed the dream of climbing Mt Kilimanjar­o since the age of 18. Thanks to @ eddiebauer, my partner in this adventure, this past week saw # 1 on my bucket list come to fruition and I lived out one of the most rewarding and challengin­g experience­s of my life with a few of my best friends ( sic),” she wrote. She added, “There was no reception on the mountain so I’m going to dole out some pics of our trip over the next few days. Stay tuned- it’s worth it! # liveyourad­venture # ebcontribu­ter # whyihike ( sic).” Chrissy Teigen revealed that she was finding it very hard to cook for John lately as he was preparing for his role of Jesus in the upcoming Jesus Christ Superstar live in concert.

A pregnant Chrissy shared with Us Weekly, “Right now, cooking is hard, cooking for Jesus, as I like to say, now that John is rehearsing for Jesus Chris Superstar. I’m not supposed to be on my feet that much, so cooking is tough. I just get tired! But luckily, I’ve just entered that phase that my belly can’t fit as much food in it, which is great. And John has been rehearsing and he’s going to start fasting soon because he has a shirtless scene. ( sic)”

The concert was performed in front of a live audience on Easter Sunday in Brooklyn, New York. Singer Hayley Kiyoko was on the receiving end of quite some backlash when she spoke about Taylor Swift in an interview. Now, the Delicate singer defending Hayley.

Hayley is openly gay and has featured female love interests in her music videos, even when music executives didn’t want her to.

“I’ve had several music industry executives say ‘ You’re doing another music video about girls?’ I literally looked at them and was like, um, yeah… Taylor Swift sings about men in every single song and video, and no one complains that she’s unoriginal,” Hayley said in an interview with Refinery29.

Some of Taylor’s fans viewed this comment as a dig against their idol, but she spoke out on Tumblr to respond to the quote.

“We should applaud artists who are brave enough to tell their honest romantic narrative through their art, and the fact is that I’ve never encountere­d homophobia and she has,” Taylor said and added, “It’s her right to call out anyone who has double standards about gay vs straight love interests.”
