The world of celebrities is always changing, so we decided it was time for an update. Today, we are going to talk about all of the drama from the past two weeks.
With the Oscars just around the corner, there has been major news in the past week. One huge upset was that nominee Rachel Zegler was not initially invited to the Oscars. Rachel Zegler was the main actress in “West Side Story,” which is a remake of the original musical. This year “West Side Story” is the third most-nominated film of the year. With seven nominations, it came as a shock that the main actress was not invited. Zegler told her fans that she was not invited to the Oscars in response to a fan who was excited to see what she would be wearing. Because of the backlash after it was revealed, the film academy has invited Zegler. Let’s hope that there will be no more drama before the Oscars.
The next celebrities that are worth mentioning are Kim and Kanye. Fans know that Kim is now officially single, but Kanye will not stop harassing Kim Kardashian and Pete Davidson on Instagram. Now, if there is another celebrity that supports Kim or speaks badly about Kanye, Kanye is using Instagram to bash them. The most recent victim is Trevor Noah. On The Daily Show, Noah talked about the way society has been reacting to Kanye’s continuous hate toward Kim and Pete. Noah made some comments about Kanye’s mental health and mentioned that many people are worried about Kanye’s art therapy. Kanye has repeatedly said “Leave me to create my art” and that is fine for him to do, but for some people, his art is becoming uncomfortable to watch. After Noah’s comments, Kanye took to Instagram to express his feelings, but this is where he messes up. Kanye called Noah a racial slur which ended with Kanye getting suspended from Instagram, but only for 24 hours. Instagram stated that Kanye violated their policies on hate speech, harassment, and bullying. These violations come from the racial slurs he used against Noah and the comments on Kim and Pete. If there is another violation in the future, Instagram will have to do something more drastic.
The war in Ukraine has touched many lives, and multiple celebrities talked and donated money to Ukraine. Mila Kunis and her husband Ashton Kutcher started a GoFundMe page encouraging people to donate money to help Ukraine fight off Russia. Their goal was to reach $30 million to help the people affected by the war. The GoFundMe page has reached nearly #35 million. This kind gesture meant a lot to the President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, who personally thanked them for showing their support. Mila Kunis immigrated from Ukraine in 1991 and has recently opened up about her connection to her native country. While she openly declared that she is from Ukraine, she also shared her beliefs of avoiding speaking about the people of Russia in a negative or abusive way. She encouraged people to look at the war from the perspective of “it’s the people in power, not the people themselves.” The entire world feels sympathy for the people of Ukraine and we hope this war will end soon.
Now, onto some good news for some celebrities. First, Bonnie Wright who acted in the Harry Potter movies has announced that she is married. Over the weekend Bonnie Wright married her longtime boyfriend, Andrew Lococo. Bonnie Wright has kept her relationship a secret as much as possible, privacy is always a huge issue with celebrities. She shared pictures from her wedding on Instagram but hasn’t revealed much about her relationship. As always we wish them the best of luck in their marriage.
Soulja Boy announced on Saturday that he is having his first child, he also revealed the identity of his partner. The rapper posted a video on Instagram of himself at a gender reveal party. In the video, the rapper throws down an egg and it explodes with blue dust, meaning it’s a boy. He is shown celebrating and embracing a young woman next to him. If you have seen the video, you can assume that the young woman is his baby mama. Many did not know who she was because the rapper didn’t tag her and he has not been linked to her in public. The woman is a celebrity hairstylist, but we do not know how long she and Soulja Boy have been together or how far she is in her pregnancy. Privacy is key to celebrities, so all we will say is congratulations.
Kylie Jenner came out to her fans about her struggles with her second child. Speaking to her fans she revealed how her second pregnancy was more difficult than her first pregnancy. Kylie stated that it is not easy mentally, physically, or spiritually. One of the main reasons why she decided to speak about her struggles is that she wanted to be as honest as possible to other new moms. Since she has spoken out about her struggles, she has been praised on multiple platforms for her honesty and for showing what it is like after pregnancy. She has even shown off her baby body. Many celebrities feel like they can’t show their post-pregnancy bodies due to the fact that their bodies are judged on a regular basis. Many fans have shown their appreciation for her showing off her vulnerability to the public.
In other news, Hailey Bieber had a traumatic scare earlier this month. Hailey revealed on Instagram that she was hospitalized for stroke-like symptoms. It turns out she had a small blood clot on her brain. She recovered within hours and the experience has elevated her relationship with her husband Justin Bieber. Justin was by her side and is keeping a close eye on her. Hopefully, this was just a one-time scare and nothing like this happens again.
Earlier this month Naomi Osaka was reduced to tears after a heckler shouted degrading words. Since the incident, Naomi has sought out help with her mental health. She said finally speaking with a therapist and has realized how much it is helping. Her coach, Wim Fissette, was a big influence on Naomi when making the decision to seek help. He told her “you hire a coach for tennis, for fitness. The mind is such a big thing. If you can get a professional to help you out five percent, that alone is worth it.” She has since stated that she feels like she will be prepared if another incident occurs. It is important to treat your mental health like you would your physical health.
The final update that we would like to give you is Sandra Bullock will be stepping back from acting. Sandra Bullock has announced that she will not be retiring, but she will be taking a break from acting to spend time with her kids. She would like to make memories with them but does not know how long she will be taking a break. Her kids are her priority at the moment and when she is working she puts 100% of herself into her projects, she wants to spend more time with her family. If she decides to retire she will make that announcement, but for right now, she is only taking a break.
That is all we have for today. But, of course, the world of celebrities is always changing and new drama is always surfacing. These have been the latest updates on some celebrities, we hope that you guys are happy and healthy. Stay safe!
