"So precious," replied Nymphia, while longtime Drag Race judge Michelle Visage commented with an all-caps message: "CONGRATS TO YOU BOTH!!!"
In addition to serving fashion-forward looks on the Drag Race runway across season 11 (on which she placed 8th) and All Stars 9 (where she tied for 4th place), Plastique has amassed cross-demographic appeal with nearly 4 million followers on Instagram and 12 million on TikTok.
She also connected with Drag Race audiences back in season 11 through her story of immigrating from Vietnam to the United States."The world is moving into a place where being good on social media is such an important skill to have," Plastique previously told EW in response to queens pushing back against newer performers with social media prowess. "That's your LinkedIn. They're looking at the numbers. I came on a season where being a social media queen was dubbed as bad because you don't know how to perform. A true queen knows how to perform, of course. But the world is moving to a place where you really don't have to perform anymore. You could just DJ, do deals, and transitions all day long. Drag is changing, so get with it or get out."

Soap made with Sydney Sweeney's used bathwater exists and now we feel so dirty
OK, which focus group asked for soap made from Sydney Sweeney's dirty bathwater? Because y'all are in trouble. In announcing the limited-edition Sydney's Bathwater Bliss product Thursday, boutique soap company Dr. Squatch said on social media that it exists because 'y'all wouldn't stop asking' for Soap á la Sweeney after the actor did a viral ad for the company last October. 'And Sydney said, 'Let's do it.' ' So whoever 'y'all' is should have to stay up late writing apologies to the rest of us. In cursive. The soap is said to smell like Sweeney's childhood homeland, the Pacific Northwest, so anyone who has a warm and innocent association with that area's pine, Douglas fir and earthy moss essence is likely to have that completely ruined. Of course, if you associate those scents with the parfum de décolleté et de parties féminines— that's some kind of French for the 'scent of cleavage and lady parts' — this soap should make perfect sense. 'Nice humiliation ritual you've got going here,' X user @AzBeto1997 tweeted Friday about the soap, which the company swears includes bathwater that has actually touched Sweeney's naked body. 'Way to demean and diminish your customer base. If it were a joke it'd be funny.' 'Weird and gross. I've enjoyed the pine tar soap for several years now, but this is goodbye. Enjoy your bath water fetishist customers,' user @MarvinOMars wrote. 'I guarantee you most straight men find the Sydney Sweeney soap thing pretty gross,' @UnderstanderArt said. 'She's not appealing to all straight men with it, but a very particular group that I want nothing to do with.' Over on Instagram, comments about the limited run of 5,000 bars of soap, on sale next week, seemed more charitable. One poster said the Dr. Squatch marketing department and Sweeney 'need an award for this. Hilarious and awesome.' 'We're not going to heaven, but this is close enough,' another wrote. 'Never will I be in a greater state of absolute bliss than whilst I use this holy concoction, in the form of a bar of soap, to rub across my body,' wrote a third. Some comments invoked the infamous bathtub scene from 'Saltburn.' Many alluded to masturbation. A lot of them were seriously hilarious. All of them suggested in their own quiet ways that the fall of Western civilization was imminent. So buy the soap, don't buy the soap, we really don't care. Remember, this is the same company that insured Nick Cannon's testicles for $10 million. Irish Spring, here we come. ___ © 2025 Los Angeles Times. Distributed by Tribune Content Agency, LLC.

Several colorful balloon strings were seen behind the father-daughter duo, as well as a large silver cutout of the number '94.' 'He has survived many wars and many losses in his he still has a sense of humor and a strong desire to get out of bed every morning and make the most of his day,' she wrote.

I'm proud of you and I know Mom is smiling and Happy wherever she is," Madonna wrote. "Thank you for giving me your zero F---- mentality! 💪🏻♥️." The 'Like a Virgin' singer is one of six children, and the only girl, born to Silvio and her late mother, Madonna Louise Ciccone. 'My mother is the only other person I have ever heard of named Madonna,' she told TIME in 1985. 'I never had trouble with the name ... I went to Catholic schools. And then when I got involved in the music industry, everybody thought I took it as a stage name. So I let them think that ... It's pretty glamorous.'

In her interview with TIME, the '4 Minutes' singer opened up about her close relationship with her father, adding, 'I knew how to wrap him around my finger." She later told Rolling Stone in 1989 that she cared about making her father proud. 'More than anything, I want my father's approval, whether I want to admit it or not," Madonna said. "But he's always been very affectionate with me.' She also shared a sweet post for her father's 93rd birthday.

LeBron James Reacts to Kevin Love's Post About Knicks Firing Tom Thibodeau
LeBron James Reacts to Kevin Love's Post About Knicks Firing Tom Thibodeau originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The New York Knicks fired Tom Thibodeau as head coach on Tuesday. It was a stunning move since the Knicks made the conference finals this year for the first time since 2000. Advertisement Thibodeau joined the Knicks in 2020. He went 226-174 in the regular season and 24-23 in the playoffs. New York lost to the Indiana Pacers in this year's conference finals in six games. According to James L. Edwards III of The Athletic, Knicks owner James Dolan supported president Leon Rose's decision to fire Thibodeau. Miami Heat veteran Kevin Love reacted to the Knicks' firing of Thibodeau by posting a video of Vince McMahon saying, "You're fired!" on his Instagram account. Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James, who won the 2016 championship with Love on the Cleveland Cavaliers, reacted to Love's post with seven laughing emojis. Love has been posting funny videos on Instagram all year. Advertisement It all began after All-Star forward Jimmy Butler requested a trade from the Heat earlier in the season. James almost signed with the Knicks in the summer of 2010. He met with the franchise during free agency before ultimately joining the Heat to play with Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh. The leading scorer in NBA history, James had three postseason battles against Thibodeau when Thibs coached the Chicago Bulls from 2010 to 2015. James' Heat beat the Bulls in the 2011 conference finals and the 2013 conference semifinals. Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (23).© Kirby Lee-Imagn Images James then faced Thibodeau and the Bulls again in the 2015 conference semifinals in his first season back with the Cavaliers. The King won that series, too. Advertisement It will be fascinating to see who the Knicks hire to replace Thibodeau, who has coached the Bulls, Minnesota Timberwolves and Knicks.
