Kourtney Kardashian addresses backlash over boating with toddler without life vest
The image, shared on Instagram on August 8, sparked safety concerns among followers, particularly because Idaho law requires children aged 14 and under to wear life jackets while on the water.
The Lemme founder, 46, responded to the criticism the following day via Instagram Stories. She shared a picture of an infant life vest, writing, 'Update: bought a life vest that fits! Good looking out. Honestly didn't think about some of the dangers. Thank you for making me aware and hopefully this helps make other mommies aware.'
Kourtney Kardashian responds to backlash after she shared a photo with her son Rocky not wearing a life vest on a boat:

Kardashian Barker shares Rocky with her husband, musician Travis Barker, and is also mother to Mason, 15, Penelope, 13, and Reign, 10, from her previous relationship with Scott Disick.
Comments on her original post ranged from concerned reminders to direct criticism. Some followers pointed out that even if adults choose not to wear protective gear, children's safety should not be compromised. Others noted the visible presence of a life vest in the boat, questioning why it wasn't being used.
In addition to addressing the safety issue, Kardashian Barker re-shared the boating photo during World Breastfeeding Week, captioning it with a message about feeling 'blessed and grateful' for her experiences with her youngest child.
Rocky was born in November 2023, and this latest incident has prompted broader discussions about boating safety and celebrity influence on parenting practices.

Lana Del Rey and Ethel Cain spark social media feud over new song lyrics
A possible feud between Lana Del Rey and Ethel Cain has emerged on social media following the release of a video clip previewing Del Rey's new song, All About Ethel. In the Instagram post, Del Rey is seen sitting in her car while the track plays. The opening lyrics reference Cain directly: 'Ethel Cain hated my Instagram post / Think it's cute reenacting my Chicago pose.' Online comparisons quickly surfaced showing similar photographs of both artists posing with musician Jack Donoghue, formerly linked to Del Rey. Donoghue was photographed with Del Rey outside Cook County Jail in Chicago in July 2022, while a similar image featuring Cain and Donoghue dates back to 2021. Later in the track, Del Rey sings, 'The most famous girl at the Waffle House,' a phrase connected to Cain through a 2022 New York Times article. Del Rey herself was photographed working at a Waffle House in Alabama in 2023 as part of a publicity stunt. Following the clip's release, Cain posted on her Instagram Story, 'Update: Lana Del Rey has blocked Ethel Cain on Instagram.' Cain recently released her album Willoughby Tucker, I'll Always Love You, earning a five-star review from Far Out magazine. Del Rey, meanwhile, has been working on a new album originally announced in November 2024 with a planned May 2025 release. Though delayed and renamed, the album will feature collaborations with Luke Laird, Jack Antonoff, Zach Dawes, and Drew Erickson. Two tracks have already been released, with another teased during her Stagecoach Festival performance in April 2025.

Reynolds fuels speculation over 'Deadpool' return
Deadpool star Ryan Reynolds has sent Marvel fans into a frenzy after posting a mysterious image on Instagram this week, reviving speculation about his return in the upcoming blockbuster Avengers: Doomsday. The post, which featured the Avengers logo defaced with Deadpool-style red graffiti, instantly grabbed attention across social media. The stylised design — resembling both the iconic Avengers "A" and an anarchy symbol — has been interpreted by fans as a deliberate hint at the wisecracking anti-hero's involvement in the film. Reynolds' portrayal of Deadpool has become one of the most popular characters in the Marvel pantheon since the release of Deadpool (2016) and Deadpool 2 (2018). His most recent outing, last year's Deadpool & Wolverine, became a global phenomenon, raking in $1.3 billion at the box office and uniting him on screen with Hugh Jackman's Wolverine for the first time under the Marvel Studios banner. Despite the character's success, Marvel's official "big chair" cast reveal for Avengers: Doomsday did not include Reynolds. However, the film's sprawling, multiverse-driven storyline — combined with Deadpool's unpredictable, fourth-wall-breaking nature — has kept speculation alive for months. The timing of Reynolds' post is also fuelling excitement. Marvel is deep into production on Doomsday, and insiders suggest that another major cast announcement could be imminent. The film, which is slated to release ahead of Avengers: Secret Wars, is being positioned as a pivotal chapter in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), bringing together characters from multiple timelines and franchises. Filming has been under way for several months, with set photos revealing appearances by Sam Wilson's Avengers line-up, members of The Thunderbolts and The Fantastic Four, and even legacy X-Men characters. Leaked images have shown actors Patrick Stewart (Professor X), James Marsden (Cyclops), and Ian McKellen (Magneto) reprising their roles from the former Fox X-Men films. The return to the Fox X-Men universe has only heightened hopes for a Deadpool & Wolverine reunion within Doomsday. Given Reynolds' history of teasing fans with playful misdirection, many are reading the Instagram post as more than just a joke. Marvel Studios has remained tight-lipped about the possibility. A spokesperson declined to comment on casting rumours, saying only that Avengers: Doomsday will feature "some of the most unexpected alliances in MCU history." For now, the speculation game continues - and if Reynolds' online track record is anything to go by, fans can expect more cryptic clues before the studio makes anything official. Avengers: Doomsday is currently set for worldwide release in May 2026.
