Caitlyn Jenner branded hypocrite for attending Donald Trump ball after vile gender policy

Caitlyn Jenner has been slammed for attending a ball to support Donald Trump.

The Olympian is no stranger when it comes to supporting the scandal-hit president and has often used her platform to share her views on topics, as well as discussing her friendship with Trump. Caitlyn, 75, is a long-term Republican supporter and had appeared at fundraising events during Trump’s 2024 campaign rally as well as his election night party.

Kris Jenner’s former partner was one of several high profile guests at the prestigious ceremony on Monday, joining the likes of Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg, Laurence Fox, Nigel Farage, Conor McGregor, Jake and Logan Paul and Priti Patel as Trump was sworn in. However, many have slammed Caitlyn for supporting the former reality star, who used his victory to clamp down on the rights that transgender people hold.

Taking to Instagram, the star shared a snap of Trump shortly after his first inauguration in 2017 and wrote alongside the post: “Always stick with your gut. I supported him from DAY 1 and was honoured to be there for the first inauguration. Happier than ever to be back for the second one, supporting @realdonaldtrump who along with his team will MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! #inauguration2025 #maga. “

Her upload which has been liked over 13,000 faced harsh criticism from social media users. One penned: “Literally announced that you don’t exist today. Were you front row for that? I don’t understand how you can support an office that is trying to re-alienate you from society? “

A second added: “What a weird flex to proudly support a man who just said his Day 1 priority is to take your rights away. ” “He just publicly said you are not accepted. How do you feel about him now? ” asked a third. Meanwhile, a fourth typed: “I am not a monster I refuse to deadname you BUT how does it feel that the party you voted for, represent and rally for want to deadname you from now on? Please have some self respect and don’t do this to yourself. “

Meanwhile, Cait’s close friend and manager, Sophia Hutchins shared a string of snaps with the A-list reality and sports star as they attended one of Trump’s balls shortly after he was handed the keys to the White House. In the snaps, Cait looked sensational as she slipped into a black dress with a smart blazer for the occasion, while a video showed Trump and Melania dancing with the First Family.

“Inauguration 2025! Starlight Ball. A New Golden Age is upon us,” she captioned her upload. However, Sophia, who also identifies as a trans woman decided to turn the comment section of her post off. In 2015, Caitlyn came out as a trans woman during an interview with Diane Sawyer, explaining that she had battled with gender dysphoria since her youth. She unveiled her identity as Caitlyn Marie Jenner in July 2015. Just two years later, she underwent cosmetic surgery and completed sex reassignment surgery.

During his inaugural address, Trump, a close friend of Jenner said that he will “end the government policy of trying to socially engineer race and gender into every aspect of public and private life. ” He stated: “We will forge a society that is colour blind and merit-based. As of today, it will henceforth be the official policy of the United States government that there are only two genders, male and female. “

The government will use the term sex, rather than gender when dealing with official documents such as passports and visa, based on “an individual’s immutable biological classification as either male or female. ” According to the president, the use of the terms male and female would be “unchangeable. “

Linda Robson ‘unaware’ Pauline Quirke’s dementia statement was going to be released

Linda Robson was reportedly not aware Pauline Quirke’s dementia diagnosis was going to be shared publicly.

Pauline’s husband Steve Sheen sadly announced the actress is set to “step away from all commercial and professional duties” to spend time with her family. She is known for playing Sharon Theodopolopodous in the original series of Birds of a Feather and its revival between 2014 and 2017 alongside Linda.

Steve said in the statement: “‘It is with a heavy heart that I announce my wife Pauline’s decision to step back from all professional and commercial duties due to her diagnosis of Dementia in 2021. ” It was revealed on Loose Women yesterday that Linda had known about Pauline’s diagnosis for “some time”.

As the devastating announcement was released, Linda was on a Caribbean cruise. She was near the island of Grenada and was unaware the statement was to be released, according to the Daily Mail. On Monday, Linda had shared a photo of herself with a friend as she wrote: “Having the time of our lives! “

Linda’s Loose Women co-star Ruth Langsford also addressed her being away as Pauline’s health battle was discussed by the panel on Tuesday’s show. Ruth said: “Linda Robson, obviously great friends with Pauline, is actually away at the moment, otherwise she would have joined us today to talk about her friend. And obviously she has known for some time. “

Linda and Pauline have been friends since childhood, but have faced feud rumours over the years. Pauline was nowhere to be seen in the Birds of a Feather special back in 2020, which left fans convinced that she and Linda had ended their friendship of fifty years. Her lines in the title song were removed and so were pictures of their characters Tracey and Sharon together.

It was claimed Linda and Pauline had become estranged and in 2022, Linda decided to address the rumours. She told The Mirror: “People say Pauline and I have fallen out. Obviously I couldn’t see her during lockdown but I’ve seen her since. She just doesn’t want to act anymore. She’s had enough – it’s long hours. She’s concentrating on her drama academies. She’s very hands on, going to classes and all that.

“I see Lesley [Joseph] all the time because we won Celebrity Coach Trip last year. And during the lockdowns I would leave funny things on her doorstep, like Tena Lady and hair dye! But when I was ill, both Pauline and Lesley rang me, or a member of my family, every couple of days to see how I was. They were both a big support and really there for me. “

In 2023, Linda admitted that she had for a time felt ‘envious’ of Pauline after she began picking up more serious acting parts. Opening up during an episode of Loose Women, Linda confessed: “So I’ve never really been jealous of Pauline Quirke but I used to be envious of all the roles she got like dramas and everything.

“I used to think, ‘Lovely, I’m really pleased for you but I would love to do some drama role as well’. But now I am doing drama roles, so I don’t have to be envious anymore do I! But no jealousy can be a terrible thing really. I was delighted she was so successful but I just wanted a little bit of it as well and I wished I had got that. ” Linda, Pauline, and Lesley attempted to dispel any row rumours once and for all by meeting up for lunch in 2022.

Justin Bieber’s wife Hailey issues defiant statement over marriage split rumours

Hailey Bieber has issued a response to fears her marriage to Justin Bieber was over.

The couple, who married in 2018, have been at the centre of split speculations for months with some fans claiming “it doesn’t look like things are going well” in the couple’s romance. They welcomed son Jack Blues into the world over the summer and recently headed on a winter holiday to Aspen together.

However, Justin added more fuel to the fire by unfollowing his wife on Instagram this week. The singer previously unfollowed his father-in-law Stephen Baldwin and recently shared snaps of a bong. Fans were left confused by the move as they feared things were over for the couple.

Amid the online speculation, Justin put divorce rumours to bed as he shared a number of photos of Hailey. Clarifying the unusual social media move, Justin explained on his Instagram Stories: “ Someone went on my account and unfollowed my wife. S**t is getting suss out here. ” He then made sure to follow his wife again.

Hailey has since made her stance on the situation clear. She posted a series of recent photos including one of her husband. Justin sat across from Hailey in a restaurant and rested his head. The odd unfollowing and refollowing scenes left fans wondering whether it was just a PR move.

On a Reddit page, one user wrote: “He’s apparently got an album coming out so he’s doing these shenanigans for buzz. Hailey pulls this same s**t when she’s about to release something new. ” Another added: “Unfollowing your wife and the mother of your child for promo is beyond insane. ” Many also pointed out that Justin and Hailey are currently on a skiing trip together in Aspen, Colorado – a trip in which Justin has since showcased. Users claimed the “stunt” was his way to try to get “the people’s attention. ”

Others were less sure, though. “What could be the reason? Does anyone have a idea,” one fan questioned, as another said: “She still follows him sooo hopefully it was a mistake by Justin. ” A third wrote: “Hopefully this was a mistake cause they just had a child. ” Justin has been having an unfollowing spree as he removed Usher, his former manager Scooter Braun and best man Ryan Good.

It is not the first time the couple faced split rumours as Justin recently re-shared a video with the text, “Coparenting is failing, like tf,” which left one user asking: “So, are they currently co-parenting? Why is he posting this? ” Hailey has even opened up on the toll speculation into their relationship has. “People have made me feel so bad about my relationship since day one,” she told W Magazine last year.

“‘Oh, they’re falling apart. They hate each other. They’re getting divorced. ‘ It’s like people don’t want to believe that we’re happy. ” Hailey admitted she used to try and act like it didn’t hurt her and that she would get used to the hate over time. However, she added: “But I realize that it doesn’t actually ever hurt any less. “

Liam Gallagher will ditch the booze during Oasis’ world tour ‘to get into the zone’

Liam Gallagher will be sober all summer to make sure the Oasis reunion gigs go off without a hitch, it is reported.

The rocker, 52, wants to give fans the best shows of his career and he is already working on getting fit, it is understood. He said on X the move will help him “get into the zone of zones”.

But there is understood to be one exception – Liam will allow himself a couple of cold ones while watching his beloved Manchester City play as Pep Guardiola’s side battle to retain European football this season.

A source told The Sun: “Liam’s just returned from a boozy holiday and now plans to be in lock-down for the foreseeable to focus on getting fit for the tour. He is planning on being sober ahead of and on tour with Oasis. He’s actually used cutting out booze to help him prepare and also to get through the shows before. “

Liam, born in Longsight, Manchester, previously admitted he stopped drinking on stage after his erratic performance with Oasis at Wembley in 2000. Liam will reportedly keep this year’s shows – the first with Oasis since 2009 – booze free. On X, the singer said: “That’s me done now. It’s time to get into the zone of zones. “

Live ’25 Tour will see the band perform 41 shows, starting on July 4 at Cardiff’s Principality Stadium. That gig will be followed by five nights at Manchester’s Heaton Park, which is only around six miles from City’s Etihad Stadium.

And then there will be eight performances at Wembley Stadium, where they last played in July 2009 as part of Oasis’ Dig Out Your Soul Tour. There are only two dates in Dublin, before the Gallaghers and company head to Toronto to begin the world leg of the tour, which is set to end in São Paulo in Brazil in late November.

Speaking last month, Liam hinted a new Oasis album may be in the works – if the lads can “nail the tour”. With each venue sold out, Liam suggested a lot rides on the comeback tour.

Aries (Mar 21 – Apr 20)

Challenges are bound to arise, regardless of how you handle a tense situation. What initially seems like a huge problem can, with a bit of thought, completely change your perspective. You might uncover unexpected, exciting, and genuinely wonderful opportunities along the way.

Taurus (Apr 21 – May 21)

When looking for information or advice, only trust those who have helped you in the past. A competitor could lead you astray. Talking through your options with a senior colleague can strengthen your instincts and boost your confidence in making decisions.

Gemini (May 22 – June 21)

Friends and colleagues appreciate your knack for gathering information and thinking quickly. Even so, when faced with more complex problems, force yourself to slow down. These types of scenarios require a mix of careful analysis and deeper reflection.

Cancer (June 22 – July 23)

A minor disagreement with your partner will not bother you too much. It’s over and you expect them to move on from it. What you will not have expected is the rising tension that you sense between you. It might be a good idea to turn your attention to something different and avoid over analyzing this relationship.

Leo (July 24 – Aug 23)

A new group project is about to start and there’s a buzz of excitement in the air. You can feel that this partnership is meant to thrive. Trust your intuition and enjoy this wonderful opportunity. A deal you’ve been working on is nearly complete and it will turn out that delays you have faced will actually work in your favour.

Virgo (Aug 24 – Sept 23)

You might not always rely on your feelings, but what if relying on your emotions could lead you to your goals? Rather than going in circles without making progress, tune into your feelings and trust your initial instincts. You’ll be pleasantly surprised by the results that follow.

Libra (Sept 24 – Oct 23)

Working on a special project will enhance your work relationships and colleagues will appreciate your input in a team effort. This is your chance to nurture your creative skills. There’s also a chance of romance blossoming with a coworker.

Scorpio (Oct 24 – Nov 22)

Making some changes to your schedule may be necessary if you decide to attend a work-related event but it will be worth it. You will have fun and also you might make the most of this chance to meet some talented people who could help advance your career.

Sagittarius (Nov 23 – Dec 21)

An ideal job opportunity might come up for you if you stay alert and trust your instincts. By focusing your efforts on taking action and following up on your intentions, you could achieve great success. Now is the moment to take some decisive steps.

Capricorn (Dec 22 – Jan 20)

It can feel like you aren’t ever going to reach some goals. It’s important to treat yourself with kindness when you feel this way. Your commitment to continue moving forward shows your strong determination. Although a dream you hold dear hasn’t yet come to fruition, be patient. In due time, all will fall into place.

Aquarius (Jan 21 – Feb 19)

If you sense you’ve veered off course with your relationship goals and career ambitions, keep in mind that it’s always possible to make changes. You weren’t meant to simply go along with everyone else; instead, celebrate your own journey and consider taking a new route.

Pisces (Feb 20 – Mar 20)

A new project won’t be easy but there will be support around you when you need it. While you might hesitate to share details about a recent event, being overly secretive could cause confusion and misunderstandings so be honest from the start.
