28 Silly Reasons Why People Unfollowed A Celebrity
But for the same reasons one may follow a celebrity, there are many others for unfollowing a celebrity. Over on Reddit, people are chiming in about the most unserious reasons they hit that unfollow button. Here were some of the best (and most hilarious) responses...
"Jake Gyllenhaal could do no wrong in my eyes, he has been hot in every iteration of himself. Bald, skinny, dorky, Donnie Darko, jacked Prince of Persia, creepy crime scene photographer. But once he admitted he doesn't shower often I lost my lady boner. 😞"
"I don't know if this counts because I didn't enjoy his music before this, but I hate Ed Sheeran because he talked about how he always farts while performing and sh*t himself on stage once because he misjudged a fart. He also admitted he doesn't change his underwear everyday during the same interview. Nasty ass (literally), man probably has skid marks in his undies. It's all I can think about when I hear his music and I have to change the station."
"Miles Teller looks like a hybrid of two of my exes. His voice even sounds like a mix of their voices. I just can't even look at him without getting the creeps."
"I got back into Charlie Puth briefly when he released songs like 'Light Switch' and 'Left and Right.' However, he did this one interview where he mentioned how he would have an idea for a song in the middle of...doing the deed. He said he stopped to record a voice note, then got back to doing the nasty. I don't think I've listened to any of his music since."
"I stopped watching the show Bad Sisters because I felt like the main characters on that show all have bad breath. How would I know? I'll never know. But I can't get over it."
"I think I was 10 when Selena Gomez came out with 'Who Says' and as an avid stan and reader of J-14 and Tiger Beat, I was APPALLED by the lyric: 'I'm no beauty queen, I'm just beautiful me.' I felt so betrayed because she had been a winner of child beauty pageants (information I had learned from teen magazines), and I was so upset she would undermine an otherwise good message with LIES. When my friends were making lip-sync videos to later Selena Gomes & the Scene bops, I refused to participate out of principle. Anyway, I eventually realized she didn't write that lyric and I got diagnosed with autism."
"Jon Bernthal not liking naps."
"Sabrina Carpenter. Not because of any of her current controversies, but when she first started blowing up, the Spotify algorithm kept shoving her songs down my throat no matter what playlist I had on. I ended up having to block her artist profile and I'm still annoyed to this day and refuse to listen to her out of spite."
"Rosamund Pike because she never blinks in anything. It's so unsettling. You know who else blinks infrequently? Sociopaths. I'm convinced she must be one, even though she always picks roles and projects that I think are great."
"U2 and the Songs of Innocence debacle. I have had such a hatred for them ever since lol."
"I have one sided beef with Dakota Johnson ever since she said she lied about loving limes. I soon realized that she just lies all the time for fun. I hate her lol."
"I cannot, for the life of me, listen to any Dominic Fike song since that awfully long performance on Euphoria."
"I stopped listening to Iggy Azalea's music after she said that people who let their dogs sleep in their bed are gross. LOL."
"7 year old me had a grudge against Justin Bieber bc I thought he was stealing the JB initials from the Jonas Brothers. I refused to listen to him. 😭"
"Taylor Swift could've been a saint from the moment she first picked up a microphone and I still wouldn't like her because of how 'Love Story' mistold Romeo and Juliet lol."
"I've held a grudge against Josh Hutcherson since I was 4 years old. The original reason was that I didn't like how he treated his brother in Zathura, but other equally stupid reasons have been added over the years, mainly that Bridge to Teribithia traumatized me and was nothing like the trailer made it seem."
"Austin Butler after he wouldn't shut up about all the ways he morphed into Elvis, and that god awful accent 💀 The desperation for an Oscar was such an ick for me."
"Norman Reedus because when I was a hardcore Rick Grimes stan, I was always finding stupid a** Daryl Dixon merch everywhere, but not nearly enough Rick."
"I hate Jason Mraz not only because his music is cringey and bad but mainly because he's never wearing any damn shoes!! I must be subjected to his music AND his feet? Shameful."
"Ryan Reynolds. I just didn't like that they kept pedaling him as being the hottest actor when he is definitely not."
"I never really found George Clooney that attractive and I'm pretty meh on him as an actor. Like he's fine, I liked Ocean's 11. I accepted that other people found him good-looking. Then we watched O Brother Where Art Thou in English class. Specifically in that movie, he looks and acts so similarly to my hillbilly father (who I did not get along with) that I can never find him attractive. He's not. He looks like my dad. He doesn't actually look like my dad, but he did and I cannot accept that he may be attractive to people."
"Jamie Oliver pisses me the fuck off because of how he lies to our faces about oil use. He'll say 'you need just a little bit' before pouring half the bottle in. Shut up Jamie."
"Jennifer Lawrence tripping the second time."
"Eliza Dushku and a college friend of mine both auditioned for an acting job (I have no idea what it was), and Eliza Dushku got it. Keep in mind, this happened an entire decade before I met this girl. When she told us about it, though, my whole friend group resolved to disliking Eliza Dushku forever in a show of solidarity. Then Bring It On came out, and I crumpled. I never told them, though."
"I saw someone once post that 'Emma Stone looks like a Bitmoji' — I can't unsee it and for some reason this made my brain dislike her?"
"Lorde shushing people at her concert."
"John Malkovich because of his speaking cadence."
"Jordin Sparks because my name is Jordan and I hated the way she spelt her name. 😅"
The internet is a weird place — and sometimes, it takes very little for us to ditch a celebrity.

Plane passenger scores empty row with brazen seat hack: ‘Gotta admire the strategy'
It was the mother of all airline hacks. A scheming mom took seat squatting to new heights after she scored an entire row for her family on a United Airlines flight, as detailed in a viral Reddit post. In the post, titled 'Seat shenanigans — advanced tactics,' the Redditor described how they preboarded to see that the entire row in front of them was 'completely open.' Just then, a family of four boarded the aircraft in Group 2 and occupied the entirety of row 9, after which the mother started behaving somewhat suspiciously. 'Mom says to kids, 'Don't unpack yet,'' relayed the Redditor. 'Mom is anxiously refreshing the seating chart in the app.' The poster initially thought they were looking to see if they'd been upgraded to business class — something the poster had been waiting for as well. 'I check the app, see that row 9 is showing completely empty,' they wrote. 'So I think that they got the upgrade.' That's when they realized the fam was 'not waiting to upgrade' at all but rather attempting to game the seating system. 'They were watching the seating chart like hawks, hoping the seats don't get booked, waiting for the door to close, because they wanted to take over an empty row!' the Redditor exclaimed. It appeared that mom eventually won this game of mile-high musical chairs. 'Door is closed, and we're taxiing. The seats are theirs! Well played, mom!' they wrote. The Redditor then added, 'Oh, and I didn't get the upgrade… But a full row of three isn't so bad. Reddit users had mixed feelings about the seating hack with some praising the parent for her resourcefulness. 'You gotta admire their strategy. Not something I would do but wow!' gushed one. 'I don't see the issue here,' declared another. 'They waited until doors were closed to capture the seats. They knew they could be moved. I think it's fine.' A third pondered if the mom was actually a seat squatter, writing, 'The seat map is notoriously inaccurate, so that alone wouldn't incline me to think shenanigans — but the mother's behavior with telling the kids to not unpack yet and constantly refreshing her phone display is rather sus[picious].' The Redditor replied, 'Oh they were all smiles and high fives once we started taxiing. There was no doubt what they were up to.' Meanwhile, some critics shamed the parent for essentially taking seats that she didn't pay for. 'I really think people should sit in the seats they paid for,' critiqued one commenter, while another wrote, 'Some FA's will enforce the walk of shame.' A third recalled witnessing a fellow passenger's failed attempt at an unauthorized upgrade. 'I was on an intercontinental 10-hour flight,' they wrote. 'Exit rows were both empty. Huge leg space. 30 min into the flight, some guy decides to move and take one of the seats. Not 1 min later the FA comes 'Sir, you didn't pay for this seat. Go back now.' The move comes amid an uptick in seat squatting in the friendly skies. California-based etiquette expert Rosalinda Randall said that should one of these fly-jackers occupy your air chair, it is best to address the situation calmly and in good faith. 'Pull out your boarding pass. Not only to double-check [if] you are correct but also as proof if the seat squatter protests,' she said. 'If the seat squatter refuses to move, do not engage; do not recruit other passengers to rally; immediately request assistance from the flight attendant.'

BTS is back: New album and world tour coming in 2026
After a three-year hiatus marked by military service and solo ventures, global K-pop phenomenon BTS plans to reunite with a new album and world tour next spring that will likely bring the band back to the Bay Area. All seven members — Jin, RM, V, Jimin, J-Hope, Jungkook and Suga — appeared together for the first time since 2022 in a livestream on Tuesday, July 1, on the fan platform Weverse to reveal their long-awaited return. 'Starting in July, all seven of us will begin working closely together on new music,' the band said in a statement. 'Since it will be a group album, it will reflect each member's thoughts and ideas. We're approaching the album with the same mindset we had when we first started.' The announcement also noted a global tour, their first since 2021's 'Permission to Dance On Stage' concerts. BTS plans to start work in the U.S. this month, according to a statement from Hybe, the group's management company. The comeback follows the completion of South Korea's mandatory military service by all members. Jin was the first to enlist in December 2022 and the first to be discharged in June 2024. J-Hope enlisted in April 2023 and was discharged in October 2024. Suga began his service in September 2023, while RM, V, Jimin and Jungkook all enlisted December 2023. All four returned this past spring. In South Korea, all able-bodied men between the ages of 18 to 28 are required by law to perform 18 to 21 months of military service under a conscription system meant to deter aggression from rival North Korea. J-Hope, who last performed in the Bay Area in 2018, returned to Oakland Arena this spring for his solo 'Hope on the Stage' tour. BTS's forthcoming release will mark the first group album since 2020's 'Be.' Fans can expect a preview of what's to come with the live album 'BTS Permission to Dance on Stage — Seoul,' set for release July 18.

3-Year-OId Wants To Go To Disneyland for Birthday, Parents Did One Better
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. A Washington couple found a way to make all their daughter's birthday dreams come true at a fraction of the price. Kim Egan moved from Los Angeles to Gig Harbor with her husband Brian and their two young children two years ago. She took to Reddit to reveal the big surprise they put together for their daughter Millie's third birthday: a homemade mini Disneyland. It was a shrewd choice, given the costs of a trip to see Mickey Mouse and the gang in person and one Egan was happy to share to Reddit under the handle u/DMMeYourCat. An analysis by the money-saving advice website Nerdwallet found that the cost of an average ticket for a family of four going to Disney World stands at $713. The analysis also puts the cheapest-priced ticket for a single day trip to the park at $160 per person. Many would have balked at the idea of building a mini DisneyLand from scratch, but Egan and her husband had form where this was concerned. "We wanted to do something special because last year we made homemade Sesame Street characters," Egan told Newsweek. The family displays the Disneyland of their own that they made.

"Last year, it was cardboard, this year, it's SP Styrofoam," Egan said. "We learned and adapted." Together, the couple created cardboard cutouts of all the familiar Disney favorites: Mickey, Minnie Mouse, Goofy, Donald Duck and Pluto, as well as characters from movies like Aladdin and The Little Mermaid. Those were only the tip of the iceberg when it came to the Egans' creativity, though. Not only did they put together a mini Disney castle for Millie to enjoy, but there was also a Sebastian's Splash Shack and, best of all, a Mickey Mouse-themed cinema projecting classic clips from the movies. "My husband is an animator who specializes in projection-mapping. He made a custom projection show, based on her favorite songs," Egan said. The Disneyland includes its very own cinema.

Instagram/dotton_creative Egan said the couple spent two months working away on the project while the hardest part of the whole thing was "keeping it a secret" from their kids. "Millie had no idea what we were doing up until the day that it happened," Egan added. "She was over the moon." While keeping things a secret may not have been easy, Egan said that she and her husband "had a blast making something special for our daughters" and creating memories for themselves. "When the kids would go to sleep, my husband and I would spend hours laughing, talking and painting," Egan said. "It's a wonderful bonding experience for the whole family to enjoy." This isn't the end of the fun either, with Egan and her husband already plotting to put their family's new mini-Disneyland to good use over the festive break. "We are planning to display it for Christmas, so everyone of all ages can enjoy it, too," Egan said. There will also bound to be plans afoot for something even bigger and better for the next birthday in the family.
