Breaking News:Taylor Swift fans slam JD Vance over ‘childless cat ladies’ comments

 

JD Vance ignited uproar from a particularly vocal fanbase on the internet this week, as some Taylor Swift fans say the Republican VP nominee might “need to calm down” after a video resurfaced of him slamming childless women who own cats.

“Hell hath no fury like a certain childless cat lady who has yet to endorse a presidential candidate,” one X user posted in response to Vance’s prior comments, which have recirculated after he and Vice President Kamala Harris have emerged as opponents on the 2024 presidential campaign trail.

Resurrected footage, shared Monday by the editor-in-chief of MeidasTouch Network, shows Vance on Fox News’ “Tucker Carlson Tonight” in 2021, criticizing multiple Democratic figures as “childless cat ladies” and saying people without children don’t have a “direct stake” in America’s future. Vance made the TV appearance while he was running for the Ohio senate seat he eventually won.

The video had more than 25 million views on X as of Wednesday and Vance’s “childless cat ladies” comments had sparked an uproar from Swiftie fans and beyond.

Swift, who endorsed now-President Joe Biden and Harris back in 2020, has not yet endorsed anyone for president in 2024.

When it hits you that Taylor Swift is childless and has cats… The armageddon is coming for him,” one X user posted Tuesday night.

Another user posted: “Vance attacked childless women who love cats. Taylor Swift would probably like a word. Release the kraken (meowww)

One fan suggested she use his comments “right back at him” if she were to endorse Harris, while another lobbied for Swift-inspired “Democratic fundraising merch.”

Internet users drew the connection between Vance’s comments and Swift because she has three cats and proudly posts about them on social media.

Swift, 34, is not married and does not have children.

Considered one of the most famous people on the planet, Swift is dating Kansas City Chief’s player Travis Kelce. The pop superstar and NFL player took their romance public in October 2023.

Earlier this year, Time Magazine played into Swift’s cat ownership pride when it named her Person of the Year.

USA TODAY has reached out to Swift’s team.

Ray J is threatening to sue Kris Jenner in connection with her daughter Kim Kardashian’s 2002 s.e.x tape and is making fresh claims about the momager’s involvement.

The Celebrity Big Brother star, 41, uploaded several Instagram posts on Saturday, in which he threatened to take both women to court for defamation. He told the mother and daughter in no uncertain terms: “You have f***ed with the wrong person.”

It comes after Kris took a lie detector test on The Late Late Show With James Cordon on Thursday, and responded “No” to the question, “Did you help Kim release her s.e.x .tape?” Ultimately, the polygrapher confirmed she was telling the truth.

In one of Ray’s posts, which was 44 minutes long, he claims there were three different tapes as opposed to just one. He goes on to claim that 66-year-old Kris handpicked the one in which her daughter Kim looked best.

“[Kim’s] momma made me go and shoot [the other two videos] for safety,” he said. “She watched it motherf***er and said ‘We’re gonna go with the first one cause it’s better, it gives my daughter a better look than the second one I made y’all go and do.’”

In the lengthy video, the actor and producer proceeds to show the contract with Vivid Entertainment, the company that released the x-rated tape. Three tapes are listed in the contract and Kim apparently filled out the section describing said tapes. Ray claims the SKIMS founder wrote the section by hand in order to speed up the process.

He claims both he and Kim, whom he dated between 2002 and 2006, reached a deal with Vivid for $400,000 each and 12.5% of the profits for each of the tapes. He also slammed John Grogan – who carried out the lie detector test on show – for being a “fraud”.

Ray, who was born William Ray Norwood Jr, also shared messages he sent Kim in April after an episode of The Kardashians aired, centering around the s..e.x. tape. At the time, Kim denied that a second s.e.x tape existed.

Ray wrote: “You know what we did! Your mom controlled this whole s.e.x. tape deal with Joe Francis and [Vivid CEO] Steve Hirsch – it was her idea to put out the tape with Vivid. All I did was agree.

“Now you want to make it seem like I’m doing it again without your control. All those fake tears. Your fans trusting you to be honest and sincere but it’s all fake for the cameras. I was playing my part until you started doing all of this!

“What are you trying to ruin me when you know I was just a player in this! You have to stop believing you own lies! I have to let the world know the real [because] you’ve taken it too far now. Somebody needs to explain the play you are doing to me ASAP or I will have no choice but to protect my brand and family and expose real.”

One message by Kim, featured in the video, read: “It was upsetting to have to deal with and I am sure can understand how that feels. My ‘burn them to the ground’ comment was a generalization to anyone threatening to hold this over my head 20 years later.

“We are both parents now with young kids and careers and I’m sure you want to move on from this just like I do. But your manager is the person who brought this all up out of nowhere and I have a right to share how it affected me.”

She continued: “Next week’s episode airs where Kanye brings me the computer and he says he got back from you, which shows you in a positive light for giving that to him. Thank you for doing that.

“Just spoke with my team. We will get something out tomorrow morning to clarify that this was a joke and that you would never gave done something like this. Hope this helps and I’m sorry [too].”

Ray then doubled down on his claim that he did not leak the infamous tape.

He wrote: “Why are you such a liar? I would think you would slow it down after you lied your way to fame. I’m watching you cry about something you put out – and it’s not even real tears.

“How can you cry about something you put out? Joe Francis and [your] mo are the real players in this! You’ve defamed my name and tried to kill my career but God didn’t allow you to. Now you trying to do it again. I’m ashamed of myself for letting you do this to me for so long. You can never deny what you did.”

Taylor Swift had Kanye West ‘kicked out of the Super Bowl’, according to ex-NFL star

In a sensational turn of events at the Super Bowl, former NFL star Brandon Marshall has claimed that Taylor Swift allegedly orchestrated Kanye West’s removal from the prestigious event after a heated incident between the two stars.

According to Marshall, Swift, 34, purportedly made a call to have West, 46, removed from the stadium after he strategically positioned himself in seats that were in front of hers, possibly to photobomb her during the game’s broadcast.

The former wide receiver suggested that West’s actions were an attempt to leverage Swift’s celebrity, which reportedly angered the ‘Anti-Hero’ singer.

“[Kanye] was trying to leverage her celebrity,” Marshall claimed on the I AM ATHLETE podcast. “So Taylor Swift gets p****d off. She boom boom makes a call or two. Everybody’s involved. He gets kicked out the stadium.”

While Marshall’s allegations have stirred controversy, there is no concrete evidence to support his claims.

Despite the lack of confirmation on Marshall’s claims, the Super Bowl drama, if true, marks a significant victory for Swift in her ongoing conflict with the controversial rapper.

In addition to the stadium commotion, West’s presence at the Super Bowl alongside his wife, Bianca Censori, raised eyebrows. The rapper was spotted donning a distinctive full-face covering with a white crucifix, while Censori sported an uncharacteristically covered-up ensemble.

The pair’s attendance at the event comes during a turbulent period in West’s public life, including his highly publicized divorce from ex-wife Kim Kardashian.

Credit: Victor Boyko / GettyThe rift between Swift and West escalated further with the release of West’s 2016 track ‘Famous,’ which contained derogatory lyrics about Swift. The ensuing fallout, coupled with the public release of a partial recording of a phone call between Swift and West, intensified the feud, leading to Swift’s withdrawal from the public eye and a period of personal turmoil.

Despite the ongoing drama, Swift had much to celebrate at the Super Bowl, where she joined her boyfriend, Travis Kelce, in commemorating the Kansas City Chiefs’ victory.

The couple, surrounded by friends and family, enjoyed a celebratory night out, with Swift even taking the stage to sing along to her own hits as the Chiefs paid tribute to her.

As the spectacle unfolded, Swift and Kelce’s romantic connection was on full display, culminating in a heartwarming moment captured on video where the couple shared a kiss during the festivities.

Swift’s presence at the Super Bowl not only highlighted her support for Kelce but also showcased her resilience amid ongoing controversies and personal challenges.

Rihanna defends calling her baby boy ‘so fine’ after being slammed

Rihanna has hit back after a fan criticized her choice of words when describing her son after revealing his face in a Vogue photoshoot.

The singer, 34, is currently pregnant with her second child, having revealed the happy news during her Super Bowl Halftime Show performance.

The ‘Diamonds’ star performed with a troupe of dancers in white puffer jackets while she wore red and caressed her growing bump.

Following the performance, her representative confirmed fans’ speculation that she was indeed pregnant with her second child with A$AP Rocky.

While fans are still being left waiting for new music, Rih did drop another little surprise for them by revealing the first photos of her nine-month-old son in a photoshoot with British Vogue.

Rihanna and A$AP Rocky posed with their son – whose name is yet to be revealed – in a series of stunning snaps, including a cover shot of the singer confidently striding down a beach while her boyfriend plants a sweet kiss on their son’s head.

Other shots saw the couple in a loving embrace, as well as Rih posing with the baby boy on a red satin bed, as fans got their first close-ups of his face.

She captioned one of the pictures: “my perfect baby!!!”, but the one that got people talking was a caption which read: “my son so fine! Idc idc idc!”

Rihanna added: “How crazy both of my babies were in these photos and mommy had no clue. thank you so much @edward_enninful and @inezandvinoodh for celebrating us as a family!”

Some fans took to the comments to question why she had chosen to describe her son as “fine”, commenting: “Your son is WHAT?”

Others added: “Who calls their child fine…” and “Please dont be callig babies “fine”… idgaf if its your own (sic)”. 

One commented: “riri ik u did not just say “fine” ..”, to which the singer doubled down and confirmed: “af”.

You tell ’em, Rih!

Rihanna and A$AP welcomed their son in May 2022, and the Fenty founder revealed that the pregnancy came as a surprise.

She told Vogue in April 2022: “I wouldn’t say [we were] planning [to start a family], but certainly not planning against it. I don’t know when I ovulate or any of that type of s**t. We just had fun. And then it was just there on the test.”

The couple confirmed their relationship in 2021 when the rapper described Rihanna as the “love of [his] life” in an interview, but are believed to have been dating for a long time beforehand.

A source told UsWeekly at the time: “They’re not necessarily hiding the fact that they’re dating — they more so just don’t want people in their business. They’re two chill people that don’t want that kind of attention, so they show up randomly to a spot and nobody really knows until afterward.”

A ‘furious’ Taylor Swift is reportedly ‘considering taking legal action’ after lewd AI images circulate on X

Taylor Swift is considering “taking legal action” following the circulation of explicit AI-generated images of herself on social media.

The controversy unfolded on X (formerly Twitter) when explicit deepfake images of the 34-year-old singer at a Kansas City Chiefs game began popping up.

Swift’s frequent attendance at Chiefs games, particularly after publicly acknowledging her relationship with star player Travis Kelce, appears to have fueled this latest violation of privacy.

As reported by the Daily Mail, a source close to Swift commented on the situation, stating: “Whether or not legal action will be taken is being decided, but there is one thing that is clear: these fake AI-generated images are abusive, offensive, exploitative, and done without Taylor’s consent and/or knowledge.”

Swift’s fans have rallied around her since the images circulated. Credit: Terry Wyatt/Getty“The Twitter account that posted them does not exist anymore,” they continued. “It is shocking that the social media platform even let them be up to begin with. These images must be removed from everywhere they exist and should not be promoted by anyone.

“Taylor’s circle of family and friends are furious, as are her fans obviously. They have the right to be, and every woman should be. The door needs to be shut on this. Legislation needs to be passed to prevent this and laws must be enacted.”

The issue is exacerbated by social media trolls reposting the images, prompting platforms like Meta to take action. A Meta spokesman told the Daily Mail: “This content violates our policies, and we’re removing it from our platforms and taking action against accounts that posted it.”

In response to the circulating content, the hashtag “Protect Taylor Swift” quickly trended, showcasing the quick support of the singer by her fans. Swifties expressed outrage and disbelief at the explicit images, questioning the ethical and legal implications of creating and sharing such content.

The singer’s fans soon voiced their support. Credit: XFans collectively condemned the creators of these deepfake images, labeling them “disgusting” and expressing concerns that such incidents could tarnish the reputation of AI technology.

Addressing the argument that Swift, as a celebrity, would be unharmed by such occurrences, one X user countered: “Claiming Taylor Swift is a billionaire doesn’t excuse sharing inappropriate AI images of her. She’s still a human being with feelings. Show respect.”

Several states, including Texas, Minnesota, New York, Hawaii, and Georgia, have already made nonconsensual deepfake pornography illegal. Yet, incidents like these persist, as evidenced by recent cases in New Jersey and Florida high schools where deepfake images circulated, triggering police investigations.

Swift is considering taking legal action against those who circulated the images. Credit: Axelle/Bauer-Griffin/GettyIn response to these growing concerns, US Representatives Joseph Morelle (D-NY) and Tom Kean (R-NJ) recently reintroduced the “Preventing Deepfakes of Intimate Images Act.”

The proposed legislation aims to make the nonconsensual sharing of digitally altered pornographic images a federal crime, with penalties including jail time, fines, or both.

Kylie Jenner insists she hasn’t had ‘much’ plastic surgery on her face

Kylie Jenner has opened up about the plastic surgery she has had in the past, revealing that people assume she’s had more procedures than she really has.

The make-up mogul, 25, famously got lip fillers at the age of 17 after having had an insecurity about her thin lips.

After initially denying that her fuller pout was anything more than clever make-up trickery by overlining her lips, Kylie eventually admitted that she’d had fillers to achieve the look.

She then turned the attention around her new look into a billion-dollar business by founding Kylie Cosmetics, which began with her famous lip kits, which would sell out in minutes.

Speaking to HommeGirls magazine, the mother-of-two explained: “I think a big misconception about me is that I’ve had so much surgery on my face and that I was some insecure person, and I really wasn’t!

“Yeah, I love full lips and wanted full lips, but growing up I was always the most confident person in the room. I was the girl performing for everyone.”

She added: “I had my one lip insecurity thing, so I got lip filler, and it was the best thing I’ve ever done. I don’t regret it. But I always thought I was cute.”

After getting quizzed about how she overlined her lips, the reality star launched Kylie Cosmetics, which is valued at around $1.2 billion, per Forbes.

She also revealed that it was having her daughter Stormi, five, and son Aire, one, that helped her realize her own natural beauty as she sees it in them.

Kylie explained that motherhood changed her outlook: “Oh, it’s changed so much. It’s made me love myself more. I see my features in my daughter and my son now, but you know, my daughter looks like me.

“I get to see my beauty in her, and it’s made me love myself more for sure. Beauty is always changing for me.”

She also revealed that she is now embracing the “less is more” approach to her look, and is embracing her “natural beauty, freckles, and bushy brows”.

Kylie also addressed whether she was hoping to have more children in the future and admitted that while she doesn’t have a specific number in mind or a plan, she believes whatever is meant to happen for her, will.

While the pair are not together romantically at present, they have always been committed to co-parenting and maintain a close relationship because of it.

Kylie, however, has recently been rumored to be dating Timothee Chalamet after the pair were seen interacting at Paris Fashion Week.

Sources claimed the alleged couple were also seen on dates together since, recently grabbing tacos at the same spot.

Kanye West says he lost 2 billion dollars in a day after companies cut ties

Kanye West has responded after several big-name companies such as Adidas cut ties with him.

On Tuesday, Adidas announced via a statement on its website that the company was ending its partnership with the 45-year-old hip hop star after he made a string of “unacceptable, hateful, and dangerous” anti-semitic comments.

As a result of the sportswear brand’s decision to drop its deal with West, the rapper lost his status as a billionaire.

Credit: Tribune Content Agency LLC / AlamyIndeed, West’s deal with Adidas had accounted for $1.5 billion of his net worth. Now that Adidas – who forged a partnership with the rapper in 2013 – has cut ties, West is worth $400 million.

In any case, the hitmaker has now responded to losing the best part of his fortune. Taking to Instagram on his apparently reinstated account, West insisted “the money is not who I am,” despite, he claims, losing “2 billion dollars in one day.”

Credit: Kanye West / InstagramIn a post captioned “Love Speech”, West wrote: “Ari Emanuel. I lost 2 billion dollars in one day. And I’m still alive. This is love speech. I still love you. God still loves you. The money is not who I am. The people is who I am.”

Emanuel, the CEO of Endeavor – a holding company for talent and media agencies – has called on companies to end any deals they have with West.

In a Financial Times op-ed, he said brands that have collaborated with the rapper have a responsibility to “speak out and take action” in the wake of his offensive social media posts.

Shortly before West’s post revealing he’d lost 2 billion dollars in a day, he posted a meme featuring two photos of himself, which read: “Ye has reportedly cut ties with Kanye West.”

Adidas’ statement explaining its decision for dropping West, reads: “Adidas does not tolerate antisemitism and any other sort of hate speech. Ye’s recent comments and actions have been unacceptable, hateful, and dangerous, and they violate the company’s values of diversity and inclusion, mutual respect and fairness.”

It continued: “After a thorough review, the company has taken the decision to terminate the partnership with Ye immediately, end production of Yeezy-branded products, and stop all payments to Ye and his companies. Adidas will stop the Adidas Yeezy business with immediate effect.”

More recently, West was “escorted” out of the Skechers corporate offices by executives at the firm after he showed up “without invitation”, the shoe company said in a statement on its website on Wednesday.

Megyn Kelly calls Kardashians a ‘force for evil’ in blistering attack

Megyn Kelly has branded the Kardashians as “a force for evil” for displaying “unrivaled vanity” on social media.

In the Friday (September 30) episode of The Megyn Kelly Show podcast, the 51-year-old said that the reality stars’ use of the internet has resulted in a societal “focus on one’s self” and “ego” in the pursuit of “clicks” and “likes”.

“They didn’t do it by themselves,” Kelly said on her podcast. “But more than any other, they’ve had a terrible effect in that lane. And I do blame them. I do.”

Kelly then recalled in her podcast the time she interviewed the Kardashians in 2017 when she was hosting Megyn Kelly Today and she asked “force for good” or “force for evil”. However, she said that as she continued to watch them, the more she believed it was “evil.”

Watch a clip from Kelly’s podcast below:

The former Fox News host joined the Peacock Network that year and had the Kardashian family on as guests to celebrate the 10th anniversary of their E! reality hit series: Keeping Up With The Kardashians in 2017.

The TV series allowed the prominent celebrity family to rise to stardom using their online presence to build their multibillion-dollar businesses that included various things such as fashion, cosmetics, and accessories.

“I don’t think this is healthy, and that’s why I object to – it’s their disgusting vanity which is spread like wildfire in our society. The selfie culture is abhorrent to me,” Kelly continued.

Credit: LANDMARK MEDIA / AlamyIn the NBC segment from 2017, Kelly spoke with the family, including the mom Kris Jenner and her daughters, Kourtney Kardashian, Kim Kardashian, Khloé Kardashian, and Kendall Jenner.

When she asked the “good” or “evil” question, the 41-year-old SKIMS founder said at that time: “I think we’ve honestly through our show –  we’ve shown so much more positive things.”

“The amount of feedback we get even from Kendall and Kylie’s dad transitioning and people now knowing how to handle that or how to deal with that. They only want to focus on ‘Oh they’re superficial, oh they’re wearing makeup,’” she added.

The 66-year-old “momager” of the family chimed in and noted that the 25-year-old Kylie Cosmetics founder was a makeup mogul at 19 years old, employing 600 people.

“My little sister has an insane business,” the 26-year-old model continued. “Anyone who says they don’t want their kid to be like that and have an insane business at 19 and be successful is insane to me.”

Mostly, Khloé wanted critics to know they have problems, too, saying: “None of us are perfect. I grew up with sisters that everybody else was comparing me to.”

“I had such an amazing core base that I never felt less than. And if anyone is comparing them to anybody else, that’s your responsibility at home to teach them what core values are and to be a good person from within,” she added.

To conclude, the famous family denied using their social media platform or stardom to advertise impossible beauty standards for women and young girls.

Kim Kardashian says ‘some people didn’t know who Marilyn Monroe was’ before she wore her dress

Kim Kardashian raised some serious eyebrows after she claimed that certain people hadn’t even heard of Marilyn Monroe until she wore the Hollywood icon’s dress to the Met Gala in 2022.

Kardashian caused controversy in 2022 after she wore Monroe’s original dress to the Met Gala – with some even claiming that she had damaged it by doing so.

The dress in question was the same one Monroe wore in 1962 as she sang ‘Happy Birthday’ to President John F. Kennedy for his 45th birthday.

And while that performance is famous in its own right, Kardashian made the bold claim that it was in fact her that introduced the Hollywood legend to some people who’d never heard of her before.

The precious artifact, which belongs to Ripley’s Believe It Or Not!, was helped on to the reality star’s body by assistants wearing gloves, and she was only allowed to wear it on the red carpet for the photos, before she had to change into a replica.

After it was returned, visitors noticed what appeared to be some damage to the gown – which Ripley’s denied was down to Kardashian wearing it – and criticized them for allowing the priceless original to be worn at all, instead of making the mom-of-four wear a replica the whole time.

Amid the furor, Kardashian defended her fashion choice on the Today Show, arguing that her decision to wear the dress has reintroduced the iconic actor to a whole new generation, some of whom, astonishingly, were unfamiliar with Marilyn Monroe.

While engaging in a chat with the host Savannah Guthrie, Kardashian shared her shock at discovering that some people on TikTok didn’t even know who Marilyn Monroe was, telling the host: “That was the most shocking thing to me.”

The dress was originally worn by Marilyn Monroe in 1962. Credit: GettyKardashian praised Ripley’s for providing her with the chance to bring this piece of history back to the limelight, stating: “That’s why I was so happy to at least have that opportunity and that Ripley’s gave me the opportunity to share this moment so that it could live on.”

She further highlighted her deep respect for Monroe and the significance of the dress in American history. She pointed out the Met Gala’s theme – American, and justified her choice of the dress as fitting the theme perfectly, stating: “What is more American than Marilyn Monroe singing ‘Happy Birthday’ to the president of the United States.”

Monroe’s iconic dress gained its legendary status after she wore it for a performance in Madison Square Garden in May 1962, a mere three months before her tragic death. In 2016, the dress even set a record as the most expensive dress ever sold at auction, fetching an impressive $4.8 million.

Denying claims that she damaged the historic gown, Kardashian asserted: “No. [Ripley’s and I] worked together so well. There were handlers with gloves that put it on me.” She detailed the careful steps taken to protect the dress, including wearing it for a brief four minutes and changing at the top of the stairs after arriving in a robe and slippers.

Ripley’s also defended its decision to lend the iconic dress to Kardashian, emphasizing its mission to entertain and educate. They expressed that the discourse surrounding Monroe’s dress serves this purpose perfectly.

The company concluded: “No matter which side of the debate you are on, the historical importance of the dress has not been negated, but rather highlighted. An entirely new group of young people has now been introduced to the legacy of Marilyn Monroe.”

Kanye West will have to pay ex-wife Kim Kardashian $200,000 a month in child support

Kim Kardashian will receive $200,000 in childcare support from her ex-husband Kanye West, after finally settling their divorce.

As reported by TMZ, the former celebrity couple, who were married between 2014 and 2022, have finally resolved their child custody and property issues.

The outlet states that both parents have chosen to get joint custody with “equal access” to their four children; North, nine, Saint, six, Chi, four, and Psalm, three.

According to the settlement, the 45-year-old rapper will also pay the 42-year-old SKIMS founder $200,000 a month in child support, which will be wired into her account on the first day of each month.

The reality TV star filed for divorce from West in February 2021 after seven years of marriage and was declared legally single earlier in 2022.

In addition to the eye-watering child support sum, the ‘Gold Digger’ rapper is responsible for 50% of their kids’ educational expenses, including tuition, as well as half of the security expenses for their children.

TMZ also claims that if both parties disagree over matters relating to their children, they will attend mediation. And if one party fails to attend, then the decision falls to the other person by default.

The divorce papers cited irreconcilable differences as the reason for the split, and Kardashian commented that she decided to “put herself first” in an interview with Vogue magazine.

“For so long, I did what made other people happy. And I think in the last two years I decided, I’m going to make myself happy,” she said.

“And that feels really good. And even if that created changes and caused my divorce, I think it’s important, to be honest with yourself about what really makes you happy. I’ve chosen myself. I think it’s okay to choose you,” Kardashian added.

Following their split, the businesswoman went on to date former Saturday Night Live comedian Pete Davidson for 10 months, with their romance ending in August. Meanwhile, the Yeezy star ventured into a whirlwind three-month relationship with actress Julia Fox.

The settlement comes after several companies severed ties with the rapper – who has legally changed his name to Ye – over antisemitic remarks that have further deteriorated his already withering public image.

The ‘Graduation’ hitmaker was locked out of his Twitter account last month over his offensive posts, however, the app’s new owner Elon Musk reinstated it at the beginning of November.
