Ms. Rachel Calls Out Media Outlets For Highlighting Olivia Munn Over Children In Gaza
YouTube kids entertainer Ms. Rachel told two major media outlets to 'do better' after they ignored her advocacy for children in Gaza but covered a story about Olivia Munn's distaste for her programming. Parents and People both posted on Instagram about how actor Munn doesn't allow her kids to watch Ms. Rachel because kids' shows drive Munn 'crazy.' The YouTuber, with more than 15 million subscribers, commented on both posts, writing 'I'd rather you cover my advocacy for kids in Gaza.' She also posted screenshots of the posts to her own Instagram, where she made clear her criticism was not of Munn. Ms. Rachel, whose full name is Rachel Accurso, has been vocal about her support for children in Gaza ever since she announced a fundraiser for them in May 2024. Last month, she posted a video singing 'Hop Little Bunnies' with Rahaf, a 3-year-old Palestinian girl who lost her legs in an airstrike. After Accurso posted the video, the pro-Israel group StopAntisemitism asked Attorney General Pam Bondi to investigate Accurso for being 'remunerated to disseminate Hamas-aligned propaganda to her millions of followers.' 'It's really painful,' Accurso told NPR about the pushback. 'And I have to remind myself that people don't know my heart, and people try to tell you who you are, but you know who you are. And I know how deeply and equally I care for all children, and I do lean on my faith in that situation.' Accurso also told NPR that she would 'risk everything' to speak up for 'all kids.' Last week, Accurso reiterated her stance when she posted a statement on social media, saying, 'I stand against all forms of hate and violence — including antisemitism, anti-Palestinian hate, anti-Arab hate, anti-Muslim hate and all hate meant to divide us and cause harm rather than bring us together. Every child, person and every family deserves to feel valued, loved and safe.' Accurso also has received criticism for her pro-LGBTQ+ stance. During Pride Month last year, Accurso referenced the Bible on why she supports the LGBTQ+ community. 'I believe it's mentioned eight times: 'Love your neighbor,'' Accurso said in an Instagram video. 'So yes, everyone belongs. Everyone's welcome. Everyone is treated with empathy and respect. It doesn't say, 'Love every neighbor.' Except, there are so many reasons I stand strong in love. I stand with everyone.'

Xander Schauffele's Hysterical Reaction to Using YouTube for US Open Prep
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. Xander Schauffele is not a big fan of YouTube golf. During his pre-US Open press conference, the two-time major champion made this perfectly clear yet surprised many with his response to the possibility of becoming a content creator himself. "Is that like a serious question?" he said when asked if he saw himself emulating colleagues like Bryson DeChambeau, who are both YouTubers and pro golf stars. Xander Schauffele of the United States speaks to the media during a practice round prior to the 125th U.S. OPEN at Oakmont Country Club on June 09, 2025 in Oakmont, Pennsylvania. Xander Schauffele of the United States speaks to the media during a practice round prior to the 125th U.S. OPEN at Oakmont Country Club on June 09, 2025 in Oakmont, worth noting that Schauffele was open about using YouTube videos at some points in his career, including his preparation for Oakmont, a course he has not played professionally. "I watched some of the '16 coverage on YouTube," he said. "I would have watched it on any platform that would have been provided, but I watched some of that coverage there just to see sort of how guys were hitting shots and how the ball was reacting." However, he also assured that YouTube golf is no longer part of his day-to-day preparation. "It [YouTube golf] can be helpful. I've been in dark places where I've looked up swing tip things on YouTube as well, trying to make sense of it, just like every golfer has," he said before changing his tune. "I'll confess to it. I'm luckily not there anymore, which is probably healthy for myself and my family [laughter]. Yeah, there's a lot on there, I can tell you that much." Note to all you YouTube golf fans... Don't expect Xander Schauffele to start a channel anytime soon. "Is that like a serious question?" — Paul Hodowanic (@PaulHodowanic) June 9, 2025 Several professional stars don't share Schauffele's views and have embraced YouTube golf with true passion. One of the best examples is DeChambeau, a two-time major winner who already has more than two million subscribers on his channel. Others with active YouTube presence include legendary players Phil Mickelson and Padraig Harrington. Fleetwood just joined the fray, and in less than six weeks since creating his channel, he has amassed more than 17,000 subscribers. His only posted video received over 100,000 views in 24 hours. These pros join an enormous squad of golf influencers who receive significant attention on YouTube and other social media platforms. Paige Spiranac, Grant Horvat, and Rick Shiels are a few examples of these content creators' reach. In fact, professional tours have sought ways to extend their influence to digital platforms. The PGA Tour and LIV Golf have launched influencer tournaments, the Creators Classic and The Duels, respectively, while the DP World Tour and LPGA Tour put especial efforts in generating their own content, especially for YouTube. YouTube golf has a strong entertainment component, as influencers take on challenges and play with celebrities, including golf stars. However, you can also find countless instructional videos on a wide variety of aspects of the sport. More Golf: US Open 2025: Odds, Predictions, Best Bets on the Board

Justin Bieber Commented On An Instagram Post About The Public Concern For His Well-Being, And His Blunt Response Kinda Says It All
As I'm sure you've seen, there's been no shortage of chatter about Justin Bieber over the past few months. From divorce speculation and claims that he's in 'financial distress' (which his team has denied), to cryptic social media posts and speculation that he's using drugs (which, again, his reps have denied), it's safe to say that people have been a little concerned about how Justin is doing. Related: 21 Incredible Photos Of Hollywood Legends Back In The Day That I Guarantee You've Never, Ever Seen Before The 31-year-old — who welcomed a son, Jack Blues, with Hailey Bieber last year — has been very active on Instagram in recent months, which, if anything, may have even bolstered concerns for his well-being. But now, it seems the singer is using social media to address the discourse head-on. On June 9, Justin commented on an Instagram post that was shared by a popular meme account back in May. The post shows a screenshot of some text messages from someone's 'Grandpa,' which read: 'I am worried about Justin Bieber' and 'There's so much heartbreak in Justin's life.' Related: 21 Times Celebrities Revealed Wildly Juicy, Shady, Or Even Disturbing Things In Interviews In the comments section, Justin appeared to cheekily brush off any concerns, writing: 'Worry about yourself gramps.' The sass is very 2010s JB-coded. Once people noticed the interaction, a fan account edited the comment into an Instagram Reel with the captions: 'HE IS PISSEDDD' and 'he is so over yalls bs.' Justin proceeded to repost this to his story, possibly confirming that he is a little pissed over all the commentary about his well-being. Justin's team has already attempted to silence the conversation by reassuring fans that he's doing well, both professionally and personally. In a statement provided to Rolling Stone in February, a spokesperson for the singer slammed 'exhausting and pitiful' rumors about his health and said the past year has been 'very transformative for him as he ended several close friendships and business relationships that no longer served him.' Well, sounds like JB is over it. And can we blame him? LMK your thoughts in the comments.
