Cruz Beckham's girlfriend issues 'obvious swipe' at Brooklyn and Nicola after 'snub'
Our community members are treated to special offers, promotions and adverts from us and our partners. You can check out at any time. More info The Beckham family's latest saga has taken another twist, with Cruz Beckham's girlfriend Jackie Apostel possibly adding a dash of drama to the mix. At David Beckham's grand 50th birthday celebrations, all eyes were on Brazilian songstress Jackie Apostel, 29, who is currently dating Cruz, aged 20. The couple was spotted at various events honouring David, but Brooklyn Beckham and his wife Nicola Peltz were conspicuously missing from the festivities, despite being in London, sparking rumours of a rift within the family. David and Victoria are said to be quite upset by the no-show, and Jackie, who seems to have formed a bond with Victoria, subtly stirred things up with an Instagram post that captured moments from the celebration.

Although it appears innocent, some fans believe it's a veiled jab at Brooklyn and Nicola for their absence, reports the Mirror. Victoria, who turned 50, also posted a series of photos from the birthday weekend, tagging her children Romeo, Cruz, and Harper, but notably leaving out Brooklyn's name. (Image: Instagram) (Image: Instagram/ (Image: (Image:for Experience Abu Dhabi) Normally, Victoria would have posted a message such as "missing you @brooklynbeckham", but this year, there was no such post. Her caption on the occasion read: "Creating special memories with family and friends. We love you all. @romeobeckham @cruzbeckham #HarperSeven xx." David shared a similar message by reposting and deliberately leaving out Brooklyn, saying: "I love you all, thank you for making my birthday so memorable." According to insiders, the family was aware in advance that Brooklyn and his wife, Nicola, wouldn't attend the celebration. However, there were hopes they might reconsider their decision. A source stated that "David is heartbroken but putting a brave face on it," adding that the night was all about love and celebration, which he cherished. Sources close to the family have hinted at underlying tensions for a while. A friend commented that both Brooklyn and Nicola were invited as loved family members but would ultimately do what they wanted. Another friend told Mail Online that any ongoing disagreements would deeply hurt David. On Sunday, Nicola posted an emotional tribute on Instagram to her late grandmothers, sharing photos and a heartfelt message about family ties and coping with loss. She wrote: "In life we have core memories and this is one of my most favorite days i've ever lived... to my nanni and my gina i can't fathom the thought of not being able to hug you or hear your laugh right now - I just miss you both so much."

I bought one yesterday (beachy pink), and I went back today to buy another one to have on hand for when I run out. Thank goodness I did, because it was the last one. I HIGHLY recommend this duo!!" — Amanda N. 4. A mini eyeshadow palette from Essence that can fit right in your purse, work bag, or carry-on luggage. Its selection of matte and shimmer shades can lend themselves to a variety of occasions, whether you're getting ready for work on the subway or getting ready to go out to dinner for date night in the office bathroom. Target Promising review:"I wasn't sure at first, but this was highly recommended by a YouTuber. It has beautiful pigmentation and staying power. It has a mild sweet scent, but it doesn't bother my sensitive eyes. Try it!" — Mamashop 5. A pore-blurring primer from Benefit Cosmetics that not only minimizes the look of pores but also makes your skin look smooth as marble. This primer comes in a mini size that is sure to fit right into any bag in case of a makeup emergency while you're out and about. Target Promising review:"I love the Porefessional by Benefit. I use it every day on my eyes and cheeks. It makes my eyes look not so tired in the morning and smoothes out the texture and pores of my skin on my face." — Sadie Price: $15+ (available in three sizes) 6. A coin-size color corrector from Pixi that can make dark circles, fine lines, and blemish marks disappear in a flash. There's no need for a concealer when this skin brightener is in your purse! Promising review:"Goes on nicely, covers my dark circles, and the thicker texture smooths out my bags. I apply it with my finger to warm it and smooth it out with my finger or a brush. Goes under concealer perfectly. Love it! I'll keep buying it." — KitKat 7. A tinted lip oil from Vitamasques that will keep your lips moisturized while adding a little somethin' somethin' courtesy of its pink tint and lip plumping abilities. This lippie is made with a blend of lip oils and peptides that hydrate and volumize the pout, respectively. Target Promising review:"I'm really enjoying the Vitamasques Glow Lip Oil in Strawberry Glaze! The strawberry scent is sweet but not overpowering, and it leaves my lips feeling hydrated and soft. The gloss is shiny without being sticky, and the pink tint gives a subtle, natural pop of color. It's become my go-to for everyday wear when I want something moisturizing and a little extra shine." — Chloe 8. A clear brow gel from Anastasia Beverly Hills that promises to keep brow hairs in place all day without leaving any sticky residue behind. It's the perfect little travel companion — just toss it in a clutch to keep your brows sleek during wild wedding receptions or long nights out with the gals. Promising review:"I have been unable to locate my usual Mac brow setter, so I purchased this brand to try out. It actually works better. Brows stay set through a 10-hour workday and beyond." — Badmonkey1 9. A compact, translucent pressed finishing powder from It Cosmetics that aims to diminish the look of blemishes and leaves the skin looking airbrushed. Its accompanying mirror will surely come in handy when you're looking to reapply throughout the day. Target Promising review:"I use this only if I'm wearing makeup all day. Especially when my face starts to shine from my oily skin. This pressed powder clears it up within seconds. I'm 35 years young, so this really does help with my oily skin and pores." — Bree 10. A gel eyeliner from Almay that won't make a mess all over the inside of your purse, unlike counterparts. And as an added bonus, it claims to be waterproof and can stay put for up to 24 hours. Target Promising review:"Goes on so smoothly! I don't feel like it eventually bleeds below my eyes like others, and you can sharpen it with a regular eyeliner pencil sharpener." — 3BoysMom 11. A 2-in-1 lip gloss and lip stain from Nyx that gives your pout a mirror-like sheen while keeping it moisturized for up to 12 hours. These lightweight, hydrating lippies are a Euro summer vacation essential when the last thing you want to worry about is reapplying your lip color as you explore a new city in the grueling heat. 12. A glitter liquid eyeshadow from Stila for those who like the hydration and easy application of a liquid eyeshadow over a powder-based option. It dries down in seconds while making you shine bright like a diamond — not to mention it's so compact, you can bring it on all your summer adventures without worrying about it shattering like powder eyeshadows are wont to do. Target Promising review:"It goes on great over a base color. Goes on with ease and doesn't crease or bunch. It stays right where you place it. I wore it for a performance (I'm a singer/violinist in a rock band) and it didn't budge all night." — Liz 13. A lip liner from Revlon that's designed to stay on the lips for up to eight hours and keep lipstick in place. Plus, its built-in sharpener ensures that the liner can stay sharp so it's ready wherever you bring it and whenever you need a touch-up. Promising review:"It's impossible to know how many of these liners in nude that I have purchased since the late '90s. It's classic, versatile, long-lasting, smooth, and pigmented. The best deal." — Seekinggoodvalue 14. A concealer from Too Faced that reviewers say also doubles as a foundation. So if you want a complexion product that can kill two birds with one stone, this is it! And you don't have to worry about lugging a full-size bottle of the product with you everywhere, either. It now comes in a convenient travel-size that you can just pop into your bag. Promising review: "My favorite concealer! I blend it out with a sponge so it's not as full coverage as it could be, and it stays all day! If you used your finger or a brush, it would be a more full coverage option. But I like a little less. It's the best!" — Mindyb373 15. A lip balm stick from Clinique for folks who want a fully defined pout without having to use several lip products. And the fact that moisturizing mango and shea butters help the lips stay hydrated during wear doesn't hurt either. Target Promising review:"While my favorite Clinique lip color is Black Honey, I really love the look and feel of this stick, and the color is beautiful. It's buildable, so even my daughter wears it with gloss. Highly recommend!" — Fullerhouse 16. An eyeshadow from ColourPop that can take your look from 0 to 100, with each shade sure to make your eyes shimmer. These cute lil' compacts are ideal for days-long musical festivals (looking at you, Glastonbury!) when your bag space is limited and you need something that stays put. Target 17. A clear lip balm from Burt's Bees that's a classic for a reason, and is poised to kick chapped lips to the curb year-round. Moisturizing agents like beeswax and vitamin E, which keep the lips soft and hydrated, are to thank for that. 18. A dewy setting spray from Makeup Revolution, small enough to toss in your work bag or glove compartment, that also does the heavy-lifting of keeping your makeup in place from morning meetings to happy hour with coworkers. Target Promising review:"I'M OBSESSED!!! My under-eyes have always creased super badly, and I've been looking for a setting spray to fix that problem, and this is the ONE. Even after my eight-hour shifts, my makeup does not budge and looks like I just put it on. This is def my new go-to." — em 19. A travel-size juicy lip plumper from Tarte that can help make your lips look fuller — minus the lip filler injection. This lippie deposits a subtle wash of color that also gives your pout a glass-like finish. Target Promising review:"Love this product. Goes on so smoothly, subtle color. Def my go-to!" — Laney 20. An eyeshadow primer from Milani that is just as small as a lip balm and can keep your eyeshadow crease-free all day long. Whether you're doing your eye makeup on a plane or in the backseat of a car, this product should glide onto your lids without a hitch. Target Promising review:"I have oily eyelids, and this is the only product that actually works for me. I used to use Smashbox's primer, but it's discontinued, and I've been struggling to find a replacement. Lucky for me since Milani is a fraction of the price :)." — Ellisbee 21. A satin lipstick from L'Oréal Paris that's perfect for folks who prefer a glossy-looking lip over matte. Maybe it's finally time to replace that ride-or-die lipstick that never leaves your side and lives at the bottom of your purse (you know the one). Target Promising review:"I bought two lipsticks as I needed them in a pinch, and I am very pleased with the color and the quality of these lipsticks. Great value and they are pretty moisturizing as well." — Erica7 22. A dual-ended contour stick from Wet n Wild that also comes with a highlighter to make your complexion look snatched. The stick's rounded tips ensure that the product will hit every curve of your face, and because it's basically two products in one, you have no excuse not to bring it with you on your next big trip. Target Promising review:"This highlighter is priced nicely, blends easily, is tolerated well by my extremely sensitive skin, and looks great. I don't have hours to spend on my face, and this very efficient, double-duty product is a game changer for me. I keep a spare one in my cabinet so I never run out. Sometimes I need to reapply in the evening if I'm going out. Great product!" — Steviegene 23. A volumizing, waterproof mascara from Neutrogena that makes lashes look longer and bigger sans any messy glue and false eyelashes. An outdoor wedding in the middle of summer is no match for a heavy-duty mascara like this one! Target Promising review:"This is my favorite mascara! I have had allergic reactions to other mascaras and keep coming back to this one. Always perfect coverage and great product!" — Mer Price: $10.79 (available in three shades) 24. A mini red-tinted lip balm from Vaseline that will not only keep irritation at bay but also give your lips a natural-looking flush. Vaseline's classic formula works to lock in moisture and mend cracked lips, which is especially helpful in extremely hot and dry climates. Target Promising review:"Very nice, slight tint and pleasant aroma. I love how a little goes a long way and moisturizes my lips long term. Not sticky or overly anything. I've even worn this to bed because I love it so much. My dental hygienist even asked me what I had on because my lips held up through my cleaning." — Laura808 Price: $3.49 25. A lip primer from MAC Cosmetics that prepares the pout for lipstick or gloss application without the need for a full-on lip exfoliating routine. (Step aside, lip scrubs!) It polishes and hydrates the lips in one swipe, and is so small, you might as well throw it in your ditty bag so you can give your lips a quick lil' spa day no matter where you are. Target Promising review:"Started using this last year. I used to be loyal to another brand for about eight years and switched to Mac after the other product degraded in quality and would fall apart. The price for Mac is higher, but I only have to apply once, and I'm good. I'm so happy it's available at Target now. I wear matte lipstick and sometimes gloss, and the product does not move around." — Mercy Skye Price: $25 The reviews for this post have been edited for length and clarity.

After 'You' Star Madeline Brewer Called Out Critics Who Said She 'Ruined Season 5 With Her Looks,' People Are Highlighting An Alarming Pattern Of Misogynistic Trolling
Since Season 5 of You premiered on Netflix last month, actor Madeline Brewer — who plays Brontë — has sadly faced heaps of unfair criticism and trolling, namely from fans who don't like her on-screen character. Madeline has hit back at loads of the negative Instagram comments she's received. Earlier this week, she replied to someone who said she 'cannot act' with, 'I've literally been nominated for an Emmy.' @madbrew / Via But as well as criticizing her acting skills, trolls have targeted Madeline's appearance, too. One person commented, 'You ruined season 5 with your looks,' to which Madeline simply said, 'no I didn't.' And in response to someone else who made fun of her chin, Madeline quipped, 'I do have great bone structure! thank you.' Madeline addressed the criticism further during an interview with L'Officiel last month, where she said, 'If you don't like my character, I don't care — but you don't need to call me ugly.' The star also pointed out that fellow actor Kaitlyn Dever has received similar harsh and widespread criticism from fans of The Last of Us who didn't like her character, Abby. 'It's so funny, because people are truly unable to separate the actor from the character. I know Kaitlyn Dever is getting a lot of this right now too, and it's like, why are we so incapable of doing that?' Madeline questioned. For context, Kaitlyn faced so much backlash from some TLOU fans that extra security was required on set for her safety, according to her costar, Isabela Merced. A viral TikTok with over one million views has since drawn attention to the alarmingly similar way that these actors are treated by people who don't like their on-screen characters, while also citing Bella Ramsey (The Last of Us) and Aimee Lou Wood (The White Lotus). 'It's cruel, misogynistic, and it's bittered my view of humanity,' one comment read. 'I hate how we complain that people are starting to all look the same and then when someone looks a bit different they get made fun of,' said another. 'People have a hard time separating character and actor and it's very problematic. I feel so bad for her,' one user said about Madeline. 'If you're sending hate to a real person cause you dislike a character she played which is not real, you should seriously question what the fuck is going on with you,' someone echoed. 'if y'all cannot separate the actor from the character, you're not mature enough to be watching tv,' one person said, while another added, 'they go 'we want to see new people in movies and shows!!' then hate it when there is.'

People Are Absolutely Losing It After A Pastor Had Ushers Lock The Doors And Demanded $40K From His Congregation
So, this is Marvin Sapp. He's a gospel singer and pastor known for the 2007 hit song "Never Would Have Made It." Recently, a July 2024 clip resurfaced of Marvin preaching at the 109th Pentecostal Assemblies of the World Convention in Baltimore, Maryland, and people are finding it very polarizing. After he explained he just paid $2000 for renewing his ordination and licensing, Marvin asked the congregation for donations in a manner that didn't sit right with many people. "There's 1000 of you tonight, and those that are watching... it's a 1000 that are watching online," he said. "If I get a 1000 online to give this, if I get a 1000 in the sanctuary to give this — that's 40,0000 dollars tonight. I'm challenging each of you down here to give a $20 seed." While paying tithe (or giving 10% of your income as an offering to support the church and clergy) is a traditional practice in many Pentecostal churches, the viral clip received a lot of backlash for his delivery. One person said, "lmfao, Marvin Sapp ain't never been wrapped too tight, so I'm not surprised that he held that congregation hostage until they gave $40K. NEVER WOULD'VE PAAAAAAAAID IT." "Marvin Sapp was OUT OF ORDER. I would have immediately dialed 911 as I walked toward the exit. You gone open these doors, or you're catching a false imprisonment charge," another person wrote. This person suggested, "Marvin Sapp is clearly HUSTLING his congregation for 40k— and using God's name to do it. he's calling for the doors to be locked? that's not faith, that's a shakedown and a false prophet. someone had a bill to pay, and it wasn't to the church." Even viral creators like KevOnStage and notkaltonbanks joined in the conversation, making comedic videos about what it would be like to interact with the ushers closing the doors. @KevOnStage/ @notkarltonbanks / Well, the viral clip and the discourse got back to Marvin and he responded to the backlash, more or less doubling down on his methods to raise $40,000 by locking the doors. On his Facebook page, Marvin said in the lengthy response, "Some have taken issue with a particular moment when I instructed the ushers, rather firmly, to close the doors during the offering. To those unfamiliar with the church context or who may not regularly attend worship gatherings this has been misinterpreted as holding people hostage as well as offensive. That was never my intent." "The truth is, when finances are being received in any worship gathering, it is one of the most vulnerable and exposed times for both the finance and security teams. Movement during this sacred exchange can be distracting and, at times, even risky. My directive was not about control it was about creating a safe, focused, and reverent environment for those choosing to give, and for those handling the resources." "Unfortunately, in this social media age, snippets are easily shared without context, and assumptions are quickly made without understanding the full picture. Conferences have budgets. Churches have budgets. And people have budgets. As the assigned ministerial gift for this international gathering, one of my responsibilities was to help raise the conference budget. That's not manipulation, it's stewardship." Marvin continued by giving "biblical context" by citing Chronicles 29 from the Bible, referencing that people once gave "gold, silver, bronze, iron, and precious stones" and never focused on the specific amounts given. In the end, Marvin hoped his explanation would give context to the viral clip, and several people (with religious ties) did come to his defense. But, alas, the jokes and criticism are still going strong. You can watch the actual moment for yourself here at the 3:30:30 mark, and share your thoughts.

"There's 1000 of you, I said, close them doors. Ushers, close the doors. Close the doors. Close the doors," he said. "We all gone leave together." "Y'all ain't going no place but to the restaurant." "There's 1000 of you tonight, and those that are watching... it's a 1000 that are watching online," he said. "If I get a 1000 only to give this, if I get a 1000 in the sanctuary to give this — that's 40,0000 dollars tonight. I'm challenging each of you down here to give a $20 seed."
