Love Island star forced to tell grandma she is not dead after cruel hoax

After rumors that Shakira Khan, 22, was dead were spread on social media, and she urged those who shared them to stop worrying instead of causing people’s concern.

Love Island star Shakira Khan said she has had to reassure her grandma she is alive after becoming the target of a cruel hoax online.

The 22-year-old TV personality addressed rumours that she was dead and said she was completely baffled. In a video on TikTok, Shakira asked: “Guys… why is everyone saying that I’m dead? Why is everyone saying that I’m dead, omg.”

Then Shakira stated in a more serious way that her gran had grown very worried about her because she was told by her gran that she was still alive. She continued, “No, because my nan sent me a video of someone saying I’m dead,” which is actually not funny.

What am I supposed to say to that, grandma, realistically? You and I will have words, regardless of who is spreading those false rumors. The TV actress claimed to have seen a fake AI montage of her.

What are you currently doing? She demanded, asking the rumor spreaders to restrain the cruel hoax. Shakira, who had a second-place finish and a romantic relationship with Harry Cooksley this summer, said, “Just shut up,” she said. And love, don’t believe everything you see on TikTok.

Can’t get rid of you that easy, one fan said in the comments section about Shakira. Shakira, please stop making me fall in love with you! A third person said, “Divas don’t die guys, cmon. My diva alive! one more thing A fan said, “Bless you, I’m thinking of you, xxxxx.”

But recently, Shakira opened up about the reality of navigating racism, toxic beauty standards, and being isolated due to her ethnicity and heritage on the hit ITV2 series. Speaking on Paul C. Brunson’s podcast We Need To Talk, Shakira offered an unflinching look behind the glossy TV edits of Love Island as she shared her experiences of being judged because of her skin colour.

Without prior authorization, content cannot be displayed.

She insisted that there was a divide, but people couldn’t sit there and say there wasn’t one. That was my lived experience, and my friends will agree with me as much as they want to.

Megan Moore and Helena Ford’s domestic partners only added to the division between the various girl groups, and Shakira has not shied away from criticizing their earlier claims that there wasn’t a divide between the opposing cliques.

After their villa experiences, both Megan and Helena have disputed that there ever was a division, but Shakira firmly disagrees. That’s bulls**t, “she told Paul”. The separation was unmistakable, despite what some people want to believe.

According to Shakira, the conflict was primarily caused by racial and physical differences and the fact that many of the girl’s did not adhere to the obedient standards that the ITV show has long upheld. Shakira claims she was frequently cast as an outsider because she did not fit the island’s traditional mold of “white skin, blonde hair, and blue eyes,” along with fellow islanders Toni Laites and Yasmin Pettet.

She explained that “me, Toni, and Yas call ourselves the outcasts.” However, Malisha, Andrada, and Emma could all be added together, and there is a pattern here that I don’t believe anyone wants to discuss. “Women of color.

Julia Fox breaks silence on outrage towards her ‘disrespectful’ Jackie Kennedy costume

After receiving criticism for her controversial Jackie Kennedy costume, Julia Fox has since broken her silence and resisted making up her mind.

Julia Fox has stood by her Halloween outfit, claiming it paid tribute to the “extraordinary bravery” of Jackie Kennedy. The 35-year-old actress faced criticism after she wore a blood splattered costume that referenced what the former First Lady wore the day her husband, John F Kennedy was assassinated.

She donned a bloody pink skirt, a hat, and white gloves to the party at Julio Torres’, imitating the former First Lady’s attire. She was criticized as being “insensitive.”

Julia has defended her choice, even posting Instagram photos of the outfit. She added, “I’m wearing Jackie Kennedy’s pink suit,” to the end of her post.

Not as a costume, but as a statement. She resisted putting her blood-stained clothes on because she said, “I want them to see what they’ve done” when her husband was killed. ‘”.

She added: “The image of the delicate pink suit splattered with blood is one of the most haunting juxtapositions in modern history. Beauty and horror. Poise and devastation.”, reports the Mirror US.

She chose to stay in even though she had been given the opportunity to. “She did it in extraordinary bravery. It was simultaneously performance, protest, and mourning.

“A woman uses grace and image to expose brutality.” It’s about power, trauma, and how femininity itself creates resistance. Long live Jackie O.

Among those criticizing Julia’s decision was Jack Schlossberg, the grandson of John and Jackie, who passed away in 1994 at the age of 64. He claimed on X: “Julia Fox glorifying political violence is repulsive, desperate, and dangerous. Her late grandmother would probably agree with her.

Following her husband’s murder, Jackie was pictured standing next to Lyndon B. Johnson, who at the time served as vice president.

According to Steve Gillon, a historian, in 2022, “They actually had another dress laid out for her to put on, and she refused.” She walked out with Lyndon Johnson and donned her blood-stained suit. She was willing to stand for a photo despite these abhorrent circumstances because she understood what continuity in government meant for the country.

She understood her part in the transition of the country to a new president. After the tragic shooting, “The New York Times reported that the woman’s clothing was” blood-covered and folded in a towel,” according to “The New York Times.”

Jackie was given clean clothes at Parkland Memorial Hospital, but she chose to wash her face instead. Why did I wash [my face] of the blood off, I wondered a second later? Jackie later told Life magazine, “I should have left it there and let them see what they’ve done.”

The Maryland facility for the National Archives and Records Administration is where these items are currently kept. In 1994, the former first lady passed away at the age of 64.

‘Embarrassing’ Wolves savaged as relegation looms

  • 66 Comments

Sam Johnstone was criticized for being “Embarrassing.”

After suffering a terrible 3-0 defeat at Fulham, the Wolves goalkeeper was unfazed by his side’s performance and was in danger of falling further down the Premier League.

“We need to do better because it’s not good enough.” The England international apologised to the fans, saying that we should be embarrassed and that they might not want to hear it.

“We must continue to do our best and keep going.” We need to turn things around quickly because we have some talented players.

Wolves are eight points clear of winning any of their first ten games, which is a rehash of last year’s start, with their 11th victory coming in the process.

They are the league’s worst defense, have only two points, and have lost eight of the ten games.

surviving in the Premier League despite the odds

When asked what went wrong at Fulham, Johnstone responded, “Pretty much everything; I’m being completely honest.

It’s challenging to come up with words. There are a lot of emotions [in the dressing room] and it’s very challenging.

After the final whistle, the Wolves supporters again barracked the players and resentfully attacked Pereira.

Following a Fulham break, Emmanuel Agbadou was sent off in the 36th minute for a comical Yerson Mosquera own goal, all of which matched the end of a side that was doomed for failure.

The Craven Cottage display undoubtedly sounded the alarm bells, as Pereira claimed on Friday that he did not believe the club was in crisis but rather that it was a “crisis of results.”

No Premier League team has won more than two games after ten games, and 14 of the previous 20 teams lost without winning in ten of those ten games during the top-flight season.

After drawing 2-2 with Crystal Palace on November 2nd, Wolves managed three in the previous season. Although Gary O’Neil replaced him with Pereira, the situation seems less promising this time around.

I don’t know how Wolves can survive, but I can say that last season, did you think it was possible for a club like Wolves to win six games in a row. Pereira remarked.

It’s challenging to win six games in a row, even for the big teams. My response is this.

Will Pereira, however, have the ability to reverse the situation?

I’m doing my best and working hard to support both my team and players. The club’s faith in our work is invincible, he continued.

We are trying everything, changing the system, changing the players, to help the team perform and get results, according to the statement from me and my staff.

With 15 minutes left, Wolves were defeated by Burnley’s team, who were happy to accept a point, and Wednesday’s 4-3 home loss to Chelsea at least had spirit and fight.

Pereira was disappointed by how bad things were during his tenure at Fulham because they made mistakes, including Santi Bueno’s error in Ryan Sessegnon’s opener.

The Portuguese, whose side last won against Leicester City on April 26, said, “It was the worst performance.”

My team didn’t perform as well as Fulham, in my opinion. Technically speaking, we weren’t there, albeit with some errors. We conceded the first goal by missing a lot of passes and movements.

Debriefing intended “to find the solutions”

A summit with Pereira and his players is expected to take place on Monday to discuss the events.

The manager avoids speaking too much after games because he fears his message will be lost or said inappropriately. In order to try to solve their problems, discussions will take place at their Compton training base.

Because we didn’t play at the level we should, Pereira said, “we need to have a conversation to understand what happened.”

“I enjoy listening to players and hearing what they thought on the field, both tactically, physically, and mentally. We are frustrated and it’s impossible to have a conversation in the dressing room, so I have to speak with them right away.

We will talk during the next training session, and I will try to understand what was lacking because we must play at a higher level. More levels exist than what was demonstrated.

Inside Sophie Habboo’s dreamy baby shower with husband Jamie Laing at luxury London hotel

For their baby shower at the opulent Rosewood in London this weekend, Made in Chelsea star Sophie Habboo and her husband Jamie Laing were surrounded by friends and family.

Sophie Habboo’s baby shower was exactly what you would expect from one of our favorite Made in Chelsea couples.

The couple, who wed in 2023, have a son named NearlyParents, which they have renamed NearlyParents, which they have a podcast about.

Sophie looked more than happy to celebrate her baby in a white figure hugging dress that showcased her radiant glow and constantly expanding bump.

A warm, intimate atmosphere was provided by green and white table napkins with guests’ names engraved on them, as well as delicate decorations, soft green florals, candles lit on the tables, and candles lit on the tables.

Lily Allen issues savage dig at ex David Harbour as she dresses up as his ‘mistress’

Lily Allen has dressed up as David Harbour’s ‘mistress’ for Halloween, after releasing a song about the alleged infidelity that ended their marriage as part of her new album

Lily Allen used Halloween as an opportunity to take a cheeky dig at her ex-husband David Harbour, dressing up as his alleged mistress ‘Madeline’. The 39-year-old singer has been making headlines with the release of her new album West End Girl, which features candid songs about the breakdown of her marriage, including allegations of infidelity.

The first single from the album, aptly named ‘Madeline’, seems to reference David’s supposed mistress with the lyrics “and who’s Madeline?”. On the same day the single was released, Lily made an appearance at the Chateau Marmont hotel in Los Angeles, dressed as the beloved children’s book character, Madeline, in what appears to be a thinly veiled jab at her ex’s alleged affair, according to reports.

Lily completed her costume with an orange bob wig, white socks, black shoes and a red Birkin handbag. Despite accusing the Stranger Things actor of being unfaithful, Lily maintains that her new song is a blend of personal experiences and fiction. However, fans have been eager to uncover the story behind the anthem, with one interviewer boldly asking Lily, “Who the f*** is Madeline?”.

Comparisons have been drawn between Lily’s song and Dolly Parton’s classic ‘Jolene’, as well as Beyoncé’s ‘Sorry’ with its infamous line about “Becky with the good hair” following Jay-Z’s admission of infidelity.

Lily’s Halloween costume was among the standout celebrity outfits this year, with A-listers pulling out all the stops for the red carpet. This comes after Lily has been accused of using her bitter divorce from David to propel her latest album West End Girl, as part of a ‘strategic PR move’. It was reported that some of the tracks had been written by the mum of two four years ago at the time she had just started her romance with the Stranger Things actor.

According to reports some of those involved in the making of the album are describing it as a “vindictive publicity stunt” and “part of a carefully constructed PR strategy.”

By her own admission, Lily, 40, has said that her album was “autofiction” and confessed to using “poetic licence.” But those who were heavily involved in the completion of the album have reportedly claimed it was in fact based on a previous album. And this particular album was written four years ago, when she had just started dating David.

The couple started dating back in 2019 after matching on the celebrity dating app Raya. And by the following year, they embarked on a shot gun wedding and married in Las Vegas the following year.

The Daily Mail states that some of the content is resurfaced material from a previous “revenge album” she had been working on, but never came to fruition.

An insider reportedly said: “Some years ago Lily wrote a really, really honest album about men she had come into contact with who weren’t exactly nice to her, it was nothing to do with David; this was all taking place when they were deliriously happy. But this is where West End Girl stemmed from.”

They continued: “Then, peppered in, are clear references to the breakdown of her marriage to actor David but by no means is it all about him, though Lily has been very happy to allow that narrative to continue and bash David. ” They continued to say that she has done very little to put an end to the negative narrative that is surrounding her split. The source went on to say that the star can be prone to being “vindictive” when it comes to talking about her ex partners.

Lily’s album has been a huge talking point among many since it’s release earlier this month, especially as one of her tracks is about a woman who allegedly had an affair with David. In the song Lily tells fans that she contacted a woman, who she refers to as Madeline, who she believed had an emotional connection with David, which went against her open marriage agreement with the actor.

The lyrics read: “We had an arrangement, be discreet and don’t be blatant/ There had to be payment, it had to be with strangers, but you’re not a stranger, Madeline.” Lily then goes through a series of text messages sent by ‘Madeline’, who has recently been named as Natalie Tippett, a single mother.

Despite the controversy surrounding her album, it appears it is doing well in the singles charts. The singer has always claimed that the material in the album was not to be intentionally cruel, but it was a means of expressing her inner thoughts.

Since the album was released, the relationship between Lily and her ex appears to be amicable as he was spotted with her daughters Ethel 13 and Marnie, 12. A source went on to inform the publication that it’s likely Lily doesn’t detest David half as much as what many are led to believe but it’s release has come at the worst time possible for David.

Netflix are reportedly not having David at the centre of promotions while he is in the middle of a negative media storm. The publication states that Stranger things is a “squeaky clean” TV show and this could potentially be damaging.

‘A different feeling’ – have Man Utd shown mentality shift?

The saying goes, “If you can’t win, don’t lose,” applies.

Manchester United had lost positions under Ruben Amorim and had only eight points before going to Nottingham Forest. Since losing six matches in a row in April, when Rasmus Hojlund’s last-minute effort to draw leveled them at the break, they had not recovered.

United were staring down the barrel when they realized they were trailing at the City Ground after conceding twice in a matter of minutes as Forest overturned a contentious opening goal.

After his side recovered to draw, Amorim’s response was as unclear as nails.

Do you think you would have lost it if that game had taken place last season?

The conclusion was equally decisive.

“Yes, and by more goals, I’m thinking.

The reality is never known. Nine minutes into the game, Amad Diallo flashed home a sensational first-time volley from just outside the penalty area to earn a point, which is what we do know.

Since the start of the season, it has become clear that United are playing more effectively this term. They have also started to get better results since October.

The willpower, the desire, and the refusal to give in cannot be quantified.

Amorim felt that his players’ performances in this game demonstrated how much they could improve.

“We don’t recover from this kind of bad five minutes and two goals,” Amorim said.

    • two hours ago

Amorim didn’t say it, but Bryan Mbeumo and Matheus Cunha’s arrival must have helped.

Cunha does not shy away from challenging circumstances, in fact, quite the opposite. When he was booed by home fans for what they thought was his gamesmanship in the first half, he responded by pointing to the badge on his shorts rather than ignore it.

Mbeumo is the epitome of a hustle-bustle jerk who will never let his or her opponent rest.

Amorim was specifically questioned about what had caused the mental improvement. Beyond blaming his previous three wins, he didn’t really provide an answer.

He said, “The confidence, of course, is completely different.” We have had three excellent games, and each one has different levels of confidence. We have better understanding of one another. More is discussed in this context.

We demonstrated that while there are bad games this year, there are three good ones all in.

Futures for Zirkzee and Mainoo are still uncertain.

Joshua Zirkzee and Kobbie Mainoo must have become even more uncertain about their futures in Amorim’s new-look Manchester United if this day demonstrated United’s resilience.

Amorim said in his pre-game press conference that players who believe they face a possible absence from the World Cup could request a departure in January.

Zirkzee and Mainoo are likely to fall under that category. This season, Zirkzee has made 82 minutes of his four Premier League substitute appearances. The number is 138 from seven for Mainoo.

As United fought back from the 50th minute to regain control of a game they were losing, neither team has started a Premier League game this season, nor were they asked to come off the bench.

We have a lot of quality on the bench, but Amorim said, “Sometimes, I have the impression that if I keep stopping the game, I’m going to break something.”

“We were improving during the second half, so my impression was that the guys in front had no room to improve.”

In the final days of the summer, Mainoo agreed to join Napoli, but United refused to approve a deal. Zirkzee initially anticipated a return to Italy, but he is now ready to do so.

The absence of Mbeumo and Amad from the Africa Cup of Nations in December, which includes a few midweek games that will require a level of rotation not previously required, makes the situation worse.

The pair should be back well before the transfer window closes on February 2 – which could mean a later resolution than any wantabe would prefer because the final is on January 18.

When asked specifically about Zirkzee and Mainoo, Amorim responded, “It is the characteristics of the game.” They are aware that it is only a moment.
