Machine Gun Kelly shares details about diet including water fasts: "I'll eat a couple times a week'
Machine Gun Kelly has drawn concern from fans after revealing details about his current eating habits. In a video interview posted by Instagram account HipHop-N-More, the 35-year-old said, 'I don't really eat. I just do water a bunch.' When asked by a group of men if he fasts, the artist confirmed with a nod. He explained, 'Like, I ate that burger 'cause we're streaming, and it's my man's s–t, you know?' When asked what he would have eaten otherwise, he replied, 'Probably water.' MGK then clarified his regular routine: 'Yeah, sometimes. I'll eat, like, a couple times a week.' He elaborated that his meals typically consist of 'bone broth with kimchi and sauerkraut,' citing their probiotic content. He added that he occasionally drinks celery juice and coconut water, and also stated, 'Coffee and cigarettes' are part of his daily intake. Kimchi and sauerkraut are fermented foods known for containing probiotics but are low in essential macronutrients. Bone broth is often consumed for its mineral and collagen content but is not a complete source of nutrition. MGK, who shares two children with Emma Cannon and Megan Fox, also celebrated one year of sobriety in August 2024. Reactions to his remarks online included comments expressing concern around disordered eating and malnourishment.

How close are Kelly Clarkson and Brandon Blackstock post-divorce? Singer halts shows as ex's illness worsens
Kelly Clarkson has postponed her remaining August Las Vegas residency dates after confirming that her ex-husband Brandon Blackstock 'has been ill.' The announcement was made via Instagram where Clarkson stated, 'At this moment, I need to be fully present for [my children].' Clarkson and Blackstock were married from 2013 until she filed for divorce in June 2020. The divorce was finalised in March 2022, concluding a prolonged legal battle. The couple share two children: River Rose, 10, and Remington Alexander, 8. During their divorce proceedings, Clarkson was awarded primary physical custody of their children. In July 2021, a Los Angeles County judge ordered Clarkson to pay Blackstock a one-time payment of $1.3 million, along with $45,601 per month in child support and $115,000 per month in spousal support, starting. In December 2023, a California labour commissioner ruled that Blackstock had overstepped his managerial role by unlawfully securing commercial deals. The court ordered him to repay Clarkson $2.6 million for commissions received from contracts that legally required a talent agent, including deals with The Voice, Wayfair, and Billboard Music Awards. By May 2024, both parties withdrew their claims, formally ending all litigation. Clarkson continues to co-parent with Blackstock and has publicly acknowledged the challenges of shared parenting. In March 2025, she commented, 'There's a lot that I keep in because ... co-parenting is fun,' during an appearance on Not Gonna Lie podcast. Clarkson has also used her music to process the divorce, particularly through her album Chemistry, saying it gave her a healthy outlet for overwhelming emotions.

Piers Morgan criticizes Beyoncé for Marilyn Monroe-inspired Levi's ad
Piers Morgan is once again under fire from Beyoncé's loyal fanbase, the Beyhive, after accusing the singer of 'culturally appropriating' Marilyn Monroe in a new Levi's advertisement. The controversy erupted on August 6, 2025, when Morgan posted on X (formerly Twitter), stating he was 'very disappointed to see Beyoncé culturally appropriate Marilyn Monroe in her new Levi's ad.' The comment came amid broader debates sparked by Sydney Sweeney's American Eagle campaign, which drew conservative backlash. Some critics, including Donald Trump and Megyn Kelly, pointed to Beyoncé's Levi's campaign as an example of a perceived cultural double standard. Very disappointed to see Beyoncé culturally appropriate Marilyn Monroe in her new Levi's ad. — Piers Morgan (@piersmorgan) August 6, 2025 Morgan's post quickly went viral, generating over 650,000 views and nearly 2,000 replies, many from Beyoncé fans who dismissed the accusation as baseless. Comments like 'Marilyn Monroe is not a culture' and 'You just love to hate Black women' dominated the replies. Facing the backlash, Morgan responded by claiming his original tweet was a joke. 'I would say I can't believe anyone took my obvious Beyoncé joke post seriously, but I forgot the woke brigade have no sense of humor,' he wrote. This isn't Morgan's first clash with the Beyhive. In October 2024, he issued an on-air apology to Beyoncé and JAY-Z after airing unverified abuse allegations on his show. As Beyoncé's Levi's campaign gains traction, it's clear her cultural influence continues to spark heated debate.
