OH BOY!
She insisted she'd rather get mistaken for her partner's brother, rather than her mother
A WOMAN has admitted she's fed up of people mistaking her girlfriend for her son whenever they go out.
Megan explained that when she steps out with her other half Ryann, onlookers constantly think she's her parent rather than her partner.

In a video on TikTok, Megan admitted: "I never feel more seen than when somebody sees my girlfriend and I and acknowledges that that is my girlfriend, and not my son!"
She went on to explain it happens "so often" - that people think "Ryann is like a 12-year-old boy" and that she is "her mother".
"It's tough out here guys. They think I'm her mother!" Megan sighed.
The comments section went wild when Megan shared the video on social media, with people watching - going off to check what Ryann looks like - and then returning to have their say.
"Nah that's valid," one said.
"LOL but her MOTHER!!??" Megan replied.
"Why her mum? I would rather sister at this point!"
"Just clicked megan and ryann on the search.. I am sorry sis but i understand the confusion," another admitted.
"I was like 'it can't happen that much'. Then I clicked on the Megan and Ryan and… um. I'm so sorry," a third laughed.
"I was like, 'Omg that's crazy' and then I see you two together - now I get it," someone else said.
I'm a professional girlfriend and men pay thousands to shower me in gifts and holidays - I don't even have sex with them, I only hold hands
"You two really looking like mother and son!"
"CMON at least give us brother and sister," Megan replied.
"'Wow thats crazy' we all said until we looked her up on your page," another giggled.
"I had to look up Ryann and I understand now!" someone else said.
While another person blamed Megan's "mum haircut" for contributing to the confusion, someone else wrote: "I thought that was wild.
"Then I looked at your video showing her. Err… I think that's just her look!"

"HAHA yes shes just a masc lesbian blessed and cursed with a youthful face and smaller frame," Megan responded.
To which someone else commented: "As a masc I know this feeling too well.

Addison Rae and the art of AgitPop

Photo byfor Coachella 'TikTok made Addison Rae famous,' went a New York Times headline last week, 'Pop made her cool' it concluded. This is perfectly standard coverage for Rae, who was once a TikTok dancer, and has made a sudden U-turn into avant-garde art pop. But the music, while very good, is far from the full story; her coolness comes from a mass of deliberately-curated cultural associations. Almost all of them can be traced back to one specific, storied publication. And the publication itself is in on the scheme. Wherever she goes you can generally find someone from Interview magazine, the New York culture bible founded by Andy Warhol and revived after a brief financial collapse in 2018. Rae's first Interview appearance was in 2021, but since the beginning of her leftfield rebrand last summer the magazine's staff have made a distinct imprint on her public image. Mel Ottenberg, Interview's editor-in-chief, has interviewed her twice for his own magazine, styled her for an Interview shoot, styled her for a Rolling Stone profile, interviewed with her for Vogue, and creative-directed two of her music videos (Diet Pepsi; Aquamarine). Dara Allen, Interview's current fashion director, has styled four of her music videos, as well as multiple red carpet and stage appearances. Richard Kern, who shot the notorious Ssense fashion campaign in which Rae holds a cigarette between her toes(!), surfaces regularly as an interviewer and photographer. The styling assistants on Interview's masthead have followed Rae to almost all her music video shoots; her hair and makeup teams also work frequently on the magazine. She's contributed playlists and runway commentary; at the end of last year she was profiled 'crashing the Interview staff holiday party.' Rae is not the only singer to get a stamp of approval from Interview. But this is different. Addison Rae's new public persona is supposed to be that of a starlet propped up by a Warholian cabal. Everything about her debut album points towards this bit of reimagined history. The 1970s-tinged Fame is a Gun video seems to draw from Warhol's heyday of Studio 54 and the Factory, complete with nightclub mezzanine, Debbie Harry cosplay, and lurid gold costumes; a real crystal ball briefly conjures up the mythos of Interview. In Aquamarine, we get another hit of bizarro New York by way of the cult ritual from Kubrick's Eyes Wide Shut. The parts of Rae's visual work that seem new to onlookers are actually very old; they're part of the continuous and distinctly gay cultural canon preserved, for the most part, by Interview. Softcore filmmaker Russ Meyer was both an early influence on John Waters and a major visual reference for the Diet Pepsi video; the video for High Fashion, which cuts between ruby slippers and piles of cocaine, is a Hollywood Babylon-style nod to Judy Garland's dark side. Almost every critic so far has pointed to Madonna, whose various sonic and visual phases are referenced constantly on the album. The singer was a personal friend of Warhol and has been part of the Interview universe since the early 80s. She used the same tactics as Rae to engineer her alternative crossover: much of her cultural power originally came from relentless visual injections of arthouse cinema, Old Hollywood and the last days of disco. It worked for her in the days of monoculture, when there was only one MTV and a comparatively limited number of press outlets. It is set to work even more effectively for the TikTok age Rae once stood for; her sort of viral fame was easy to engineer from a bedroom, but it carried no longevity or cultural legitimacy. Cavorting with a megalithic institution like Interview might be the solution. Almost every other pop star has taken from the past, but the references on Rae's debut album are special; they distinguish her by linking to a coherent historical inheritance, the way Chinese dynasties jostled for heavenly approval by modelling themselves after each other. Everyone wins. The Interview editorial team get to bid for legitimacy as a Hollywood-style star machine; and like Madonna, Addison Rae gets to write herself into history.

Nude artist Dina Broadhurst risks an Instagram ban after she bares all in racy selfie

Dina Broadhurst is known to take a racy snap or two - but this one might just take the cake. The nude artist, 48, took to Instagram on Wednesday to share an X-rated bathroom selfie that bared all. In the picture, Dina went topless as she photographed herself in a low-positioned mirror. The Sydney socialite left little to the imagination as she pulled down her white leotard top to reveal her breasts and chiselled stomach. Her brown hair fell over her shoulder as she strategically posed for the iPhone-shot mirror selfie. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. 'Wall Flower,' she captioned the post, alluding to the flowery wallpaper in the shot. Her fans flooded the comments section with praise for the sexy snap, as well as an array of heart and fire emojis. Dina recently made headlines after she dramatically slashed the listing price of her dazzling pad in Sydney's eastern suburbs by $3.1 million. The social media star had originally taken the sprawling Darling Point home to market for a whopping $11.5million. And now, in a move that appears to be an attempt to lure buyers, the three-bedroom, two-bathroom apartment is going to auction next month with a price guide of $8.4million. The brown-haired beauty, who owns the prized home with her former boyfriend Max Shepherd, pulled the listing in January. The exes, who parted in 2023, sent tongues wagging when they reunited to sunbathe at Kutti Beach, where Dina went topless, while working together to find a buyer for the property. Originally purchasing the home together in 2022 for $5.2million, Dina renovated the harbourside property into a luxury home studio. Dina told Daily Mail Australia exclusively in January that she made the move to yank the listing because she was not sure she wanted to part with it. 'The property has been pulled for a few months as I am considering retaining the property for myself,' she said. 'I'm doing a trial living here over the summer until I work out if I will keep it or buy overseas next year instead.' 'The property has had ample interest and a decision will be made shortly as to whether we proceed with the sale or not,' she added. Dina pulled the newly-renovated pad from the market just two months after it was listed, and one month before it was set to go to auction. At the time, insiders were predicting that the $11.5million price tag could fall.
