KIM K IN MORE INSTA BACKLASH

Kim Kardashian has landed herself in hot water yet again, this time for faking yet another Instagram post. She allegedly photoshopped a pink bag into her latest pic of a night out and so badly everyone spotted. The post has now been deleted. The reality TV star was out with pals and took a snap of them at the dinner table. There is a noticeable fake photoshopped bag on the table, blurry at edges and not true to size/scale! Why bother?! Well because she gets paid upwards of £350K for a product placement post! But please Kim if you are gonna rake in this cash for promoting a bag or whatever.... just remember to take it out with you!! Not that hard. Similarly, this pic of her on holiday in August 2022 was MAJORLY shopped to reveal a slimmed down neck and shoulders thus distorting the background! This fakeness is killing any sort of reputation she may have had. More so than her infamous sex tape in 1997. SAM & FERNE AT WAR

The battle of the ‘TOWIE’ besties turned worsties continues. Pure tabloid fodder, Sam Faires and Ferne McCann have fallen out big style. It started over a bitchy voice note by Ferne about Sam’s weight and size of her thighs and escalated into pure Essex mayhem. The duo have really fallen out and there are 39 voice notes to prove it. Ferne has called her ‘a narcissistic bitch’ and a ‘fat c**t’ among other English pleasantries. Suzie Wells, Sam’s mum, said in a statement shared to her Instagram Stories: “Ferne has always been a very close family friend to all of us for over the past 20 years. It appears this voice note was sent just weeks after Samantha gave birth back in May. Since this voice note has surfaced more have been sent - very upsetting nasty things. We are as shocked as you are! Nobody should ever speak about their friends like this ever!”The plot is set to thicken as the girls are being investigated by Essex Police. Sam has yet to comment but insiders say she is livid. The Only Way Is Essex co-stars had a frosty red carpet reception at the NTA’s last month too. If looks could kill!! Here’s to hoping Sam crushes her with her ‘mega’ thighs. Ferne who clung on her pal of 20 years coattails to claw her way onto ‘TOWIE’ should be more grateful!

SIMON COWELL TEAMS UP WITH TIKTOK

Music mogul Simon Cowell has launched a revolutionary project to find new music artists on TikTok through a collab with his showbiz enterprise Syco Entertainment, Universal Music Group (UMG) and Samsung. The TV/film producer, record exec and global entertainment visionary has transformed popular culture through his pioneering entertainment company, which is behind the world’s most successful talent-discovery formats, such as TV’s ‘Got Talent’ and ‘The X Factor’, seeing Simon launch more superstar careers (including One Direction, Little Mix and James Arthur), than anyone else in history. Simon and awardwinning international entertainment executive Tim Van Rongen have partnered with UMG and its Republic Records label to create StemDrop, a new evolution of musical collaboration, curation and artist discovery, launched exclusively with TikTok and Samsung. StemDrop will shine a spotlight on, and act as a springboard for, new talent, artistry and creativity by offering all artists and music creators worldwide the opportunity to collaborate with one of the greatest songwriting teams in history, led by multi-Grammy-Awardwinning Max Martin (Britney Spears’ ‘...Baby One More Time’, Backstreet Boys’ ‘I Want It That Way’, Taylor Swift’s ‘Shake It Off’ and The Weeknd’s ‘Blinding Lights’). The top songwriting team released ‘Red Lights’ for their first StemDrop, inviting the TikTok community’s aspiring artists to produce their own unique versions via the all-new music format and showcase their talent.“ The premise was always very straightforward…” Simon explains. “What would happen if the best songwriters in the world wrote a song for the world...?” Provided with music ‘stems’ (individual components of a song, drums, bass guitar, vocal parts etc.) of brand-new songs written by the prolific hitmakers, artists and creators can kickstart their music careers via this brand-new platform. “Hit songs are like ‘Diamonds’ can change an artist’s career overnight,” Simon explains. “There are so many incredibly talented people who are trying to stand out. I hope and believe this could make a big difference to their careers.”
