Joe Jonas' Ex Sophie Turner Reminds Everyone That Co-Parenting Exists
Joe Jonas' ex, Sophie Turner, has addressed backlash regarding her parenting. This follows Turner sharing pictures from a night out at an Oasis concert, which led to some criticism. However, the actress did not let it slide and responded sharply. Sophie Turner responds to backlash about her parenting style Sophie Turner, who shares two daughters with ex-husband Joe Jonas, recently became the focus of online criticism after posting a carousel of photos from an Oasis concert. The pictures show Turner enjoying the night: laughing with friends, posing for the camera, kissing a cardboard cutout of Liam Gallagher, and sporting a laid-back look in denim and a bucket hat. She captioned the post, 'Bucket hats & beers…. That'll do me.' While plenty of followers praised her night out, one commenter decided to take a swipe. They wrote, 'Lmfao I think she has forgotten that she has two kids.' Turner replied sharply, 'Ah I'm so sorry sometimes I forget some people can't think for themselves. So…. Get this….There's this crazy thing called shared custody. Maybe, just maybe, they were with their dad that day.' The response quickly spread across social media, with many chiming in to defend her. (via Entertainment Weekly) Previously, the Emmy-nominated actress has been candid about how deeply criticism of her parenting affects her. In a 2024 interview with British Vogue, she reflected on the intense media attention during her divorce, particularly tabloid claims that portrayed her as a partier. Turner said, 'It hurt because I really do completely torture myself over every move I make as a mother — mum guilt is so real! I just kept having to say to myself, 'None of this is true. You are a good mum, and you've never been a partier.'' Turner and Jonas married in 2019 and went through a very public split in 2023, when the latter filed for divorce in Florida. Their separation was finalized in September 2024, exactly one year later, after they reached a custody agreement.

Travis Kelce opens up about being Taylor Swift's ‘plus one' — and why he loves it
Travis Kelce is opening up about sharing the spotlight with Taylor Swift in their relationship and why he enjoys being a 'plus one.' The couple, who have been dating since 2023, frequently make headlines together, whether they are celebrating after one of the NFL player's games, appearing at one of her concerts or having a date night in New York City. After years of navigating a romance in the public eye, the Kansas City Chiefs star is revealing how the two manage to both enjoy their moments in the spotlight. 'I get to be the plus one. I get to go and be that fan. Because I am a fan,' Kelce said about their relationship in an interview with GQ. The 35-year-old athlete, who is the magazine's September cover star, continued. 'I'm a fan of the music. I'm a fan of art. And it's so cool that I get to experience her being that plus one for me on the football field. I feel that same enjoyment every time she comes to my shows.' For the past two years, Swift has shown support for Kelce and his teammates, cheering them on at Arrowhead Stadium alongside a group of her celebrity friends. Cameras occasionally pan to the pop star to see her reaction to a play or capture the couple as they leave the stadium together, often hand in hand. Later in the interview, he gushed about Swift and pointed out some similarities the Grammy winner shares with his mom, Donna Kelce. 'Their kindness, their genuineness, their ability to say hello to everyone in the room. Their ability to show love and support no matter what,' he said, comparing the two. 'And on top of that, their work ethic. I saw my mother reach goals that she had set for herself, go from being a teller to working all the way up in the KeyBank building. I've seen Taylor do the exact same thing of setting goals for herself and exceeding the expectations and really captivating the world in that regard.' He's not exaggerating. Swifties (and the world) are fascinated by the icon's every move. Just last night, for example, legions of Swifties stayed up past midnight to see the project she was unveiling. It's a new album, as it turns out, and she used her upcoming appearance on 'New Heights' — Kelce's podcast with his older brother, Jason — to promote it. It's just a taste of the magnitude of Swift's stardom that has extended to Kelce, too. So, how does Kelce feel about the constant attention he has received since she attended her first Chiefs game in September 2023? 'You can't block that (attention) out,' he says about the added scrutiny. 'If someone says something that they don't like about you, you have to be able to understand how you are portraying yourself for them to say that.' He hears the comments from vocal critics, and they affect him. Kelce adds, 'I'm a guy who doesn't want anyone to say anything negative about me. Some people don't give a f—. I'm someone who does care.' The three-time Super Bowl champion wants to be respected, on and off the field. 'I do want people to look at me like I'm doing good in the world. I'm influencing and being somebody that has done it the right way,' he said. His comments come as Kelce looks to leave behind a summer of jet-setting with Swift and focus on the start of the 2025 NFL season. In July, he gave fans a glimpse into what the couple has been up to this offseason. He shared a lengthy slideshow on Instagram July 24 that featured multiple photos with Swift, marking the first time he posted pictures of her on his page. In one photo, he sported a 'Captain' hat while she wore one that read 'First mate.' Other pictures showed the two enjoying a cozy dinner in a restaurant and playing hockey. 'Had some adventures this offseason, kept it 100,' he captioned the post.

Linkin Park's Debut Album Is Back In A Big Way
Linkin Park's music is surging once again in the United Kingdom, which happens regularly. The band is in the middle of its From Zero World Tour, which recently wrapped a European leg that included stops in Germany, France, and England. Several of the Grammy winner's projects are climbing the charts, with fans in the United Kingdom focusing on Hybrid Theory, as the group's debut full-length mounts an impressive comeback. Hybrid Theory Returns to Three Charts This week, Hybrid Theory appears on six different U.K. albums rankings. The project returns to half of them, doubling the number of charts where it's found. It's a top 40 seller again on the Official Vinyl Albums chart, reentering at No. 37. The set also returns to both the Official Album Downloads and Official Albums rankings, landing at Nos. 65 and 87, respectively. Linkin Park Surges Into the Top 10 At the same time it reappears on those three tallies, Hybrid Theory jumps on the other three it already occupied last frame. The set breaks back into the top 10 on the Official Rock and Metal Albums chart, climbing from No. 11 to No. 6. It also reaches the top 40 on both the Official Album Sales and Official Physical Albums lists, improving by more than 10 spaces on each to Nos. 36 and 39, respectively. Hybrid Theory Has Hit the Top 10 Everywhere In the past, Hybrid Theory has reached the top 10 on every U.K. chart it's touched, though it has only managed to lead one: the Official Rock and Metal Albums list. Its lowest peak remains the No. 6 position, where it stalled on the Official Vinyl Albums roster. The album's chart longevity varies widely from list to list. It has only just passed the half-year mark on the Official Vinyl Albums chart, where it is now up to 27 weeks. On the Official Rock and Metal Albums chart, however, it has logged more than 1,000 frames and is almost always present somewhere on the tally. Four Linkin Park Albums Chart Together Hybrid Theory is one of four Linkin Park releases that are currently charting in the U.K. The band's comeback set From Zero, which arrived less than a year ago, reenters three lists and rises on the Official Rock and Metal Albums chart, where Meteora can also be found. Papercuts, a compilation of many of its biggest hits from before the group's most recent era, is also climbing on several rankings at the same time.
