Kylie Jenner shrugs off haters on TikTok

Kylie Jenner's lips are making headlines again. Over the weekend, "The Kardashians" star posted a video of herself dancing alongside her pal, Stassie Karanikolaou, while puckering up for the camera with extra-dramatic, heavily lined pouts. When another user criticized the look, writing "The lips, please," in the comments, Kylie clapped back. "It's the filter but go off," she told the troll dismissively, earning props from some fans — and more criticism from others. 'It's the filter but go off' I'd cry myself to sleep after that," one person replied. "Why is everyone talkin bout the lips when she literally looks fine… go do sun else w ur life," wrote another. Among the critics were users who branded Kylie and Stassie "unnatural queens," cracked jokes about the unnaturally large pouts and urged them to "stop with the lips before it's too much." Although she was clearly using a filter and heavy liner in the post, Kylie's spoken openly in the past about having gotten "temporary lip fillers" to tame her insecurity about their otherwise small size. She first revealed she had fillers in a 2015 episode of "Keeping Up With the Kardashians," where she explained why she dodged the subject at first. "Everyone always picks us apart," she said at the time. "I want to admit to the lips, but people are so quick to judge me on everything, so I might have tiptoed around the truth, but I didn't lie."

Harry Styles and Olivia Wilde address 'toxic negativity' from fans

For Harry Styles, navigating fame requires setting boundaries around his personal life, including his relationships and his sexuality, both of which tend to spark commentary and speculation online. "I've never talked about my life away from work publicly and found that it's benefited me positively," Harry, 28, explains in a new cover story for Rolling Stone. "There's always going to be a version of a narrative, and I think I just decided I wasn't going to spend the time trying to correct it or redirect it in some way." The singer's relationship with Olivia Wilde, 38, became public knowledge in early 2021 after they were photographed attending a wedding together. But Harry notes that he's never chosen to make his relationships public — or his sexuality. "Sometimes people say, 'You've only publicly been with women,' and I don't think I've publicly been with anyone. If someone takes a picture of you with someone, it doesn't mean you're choosing to have a public relationship or something," he says. In his latest film, "My Policeman," the singer plays a closeted, gay police officer. Between the role and his affection for gender-fluid fashion, he's been accused of queerbaiting — or profiting from LGBTQ appearances without confirming his sexual identity. "I think everyone, including myself, has your own journey with figuring out sexuality and getting more comfortable with it," Harry says, noting that his character's sexuality in "My Policeman" isn't the point. "It's about love and about wasted time to me." As for the toxicity? "That obviously doesn't make me feel good," Harry says. "Can you imagine going on a second date with someone and being like, 'OK, there's this corner of the [fanbase], and they're going to say this, and it's going to be really crazy, and they're going to be really mean, and it's not real. But anyway, what do you want to eat?'" He adds: "It's obviously a difficult feeling to feel like being close to me means you're at the ransom of a corner of Twitter or something. I just wanted to sing. I didn't want to get into it if I was going to hurt people like that." Despite the negativity Olivia's faced over her romance with Harry, the "Don't Worry Darling" director says most of Harry's fans are "deeply loving people." "What I don't understand about the cruelty you're referencing is that that kind of toxic negativity," she continues, dismissing it as "the antithesis of Harry." She adds: "I don't personally believe the hateful energy defines his fan base at all. The majority of them are true champions of kindness."

Kate Hudson and stepdad Kurt Russell support Kate's son's band in L.A.

Kate Hudson joked she was a nervous "stage mom" on Instagram over the weekend when she stepped out with her stepdad, Kurt Russell, to watch her son, Ryder's band Codependence perform at The Mint in Los Angeles. "Watching my baby 🎸 @mr.ryderrobinson #stagemoms #bestnight 💫," Kate captioned a handful of photos from the show, including a cute snap of her and Kurt and another of Ryder playing guitar onstage. Though Kate didn't post video from the concert, she's proudly shown off her sons' musical prowess on social media in the past, posting a video earlier in the summer that showed Ryder, whose dad is The Black Crowes' frontman Chris Robinson, playing guitar while his little his brother, 10-year-old Bingham, who Kate shares with her ex, Muse singer Matt Bellamy, plays drums. Kate also shares daughter Rani, 3, with her partner Danny Fujikawa.

Gabrielle Union reveals new book was inspired by her 3-year-old's 'tantrums'

Gabrielle Union's not afraid to admit her 3-year-old's "tantrums inspired" "Shady Baby Feels," her second kids' book with husband and writing partner Dwyane Wade. Dubbed "a book of first emotions," the new picture book came out of the couple's experience helping their daughter, Kaavia, grow out of physical temper tantrums (and, as the name suggests, shady behavior). "The fact that we just kept saying, use your words, use your words, use your words. And it was just screaming, biting, kicking. Turns out she's got a great left hook," Gabrielle joked in a recent interview with Entertainment Weekly. "But [it's about] her understanding how to identify what she's feeling so she can communicate to us what she's feeling versus just these displays of her frustration and rage. Use your words: Are you scared? Are you tired? Are you bored? Are you frustrated? Just trying to help her understand what she is actually feeling so she can share with adults, so we can know how to help her," the actress explains. "I never thought I would be the person who would cry with my child through a tantrum, but I cry all the time. Because it's the most helpless feeling there is, that there's something wrong with your kid," she continues. "So this book is for both of us. I know that there's a lot of parents and kids going through this who need all of the help that they can get." "Shady Baby Feels," the follow-up to last year's "Shady Baby," hits shelves Tuesday, Aug. 23.
