Celebrities have been dropping off of Instagram. What's the deal? Well, Kanye West has been suspended from Instagram for 24 hours. According to a Meta spokesperson, he violated the platform's policies on hate speech, bullying, and harassment. He got suspended because he used racial slurs in his post about Trevor Noah. Trevor had discussed Ye's situation with Kim Kardashian and Pete Davidson, calling it harassment. Soon after, Ye also posted negative stuff about Pete and DL Hughley in an early morning rant, which more than likely contributed to his punishment.
And, lately, Britney Spears, has been getting a lot off her chest on Instagram but that just came to an abrupt halt when her account mysteriously disappeared. Fans were quickly confused, and concerned, especially since she now doesn't have a way to speak her mind, but TMZ reports Instagram didn't actually remove the account, Britney deactivated it herself. So far there's no word on why she may have deactivated it, but it isn't the first time she's done so. Back in September, she shut it down after getting engaged in order to celebrate. She returned a week later.

According to Kim, Pete not only got three tattoos in Kim's honor, he also got branded. He wanted something different and more permanent that he couldn't remove, so he had her name hot-ironed into his skin. Sadly, that's not even Kim's favorite – it's "My girl is a lawyer."

Fans were certainly disappointed when Adele was forced to postpone her Las Vegas residency earlier this year, but singer Don McLean has no sympathy for her. In an interview with the "Greatest Music of All Time" podcast, the "American Pie" singer blasted her for not considering her fans who booked hotels and flights to come to Vegas to see her. He said, "They are all very rich and very spoiled and they don't really care about the audience. They think the audience should kiss their a** and that is the opposite to how I feel. I feel honored to play for people. I know they are spending money and taking time out of their lives. But I come from a different time."
Colton Underwood is saying no to a second season of his Netflix show, "Coming Out Colton." While promoting his appearance on CBS' "Beyond the Edge," he said, "I don't wanna speak in definitives, but I will say right now in the time of my life and in my relationship [with fiancé Jordan C. Brown], having a show revolve around that is not a healthy decision to make for either of us." He added, "Right now there's not a season two. Right now, we're not exploring that for our relationships or for my work ventures."
On tonight's series finale of "Flip or Flop," we'll get a glimpse into to the rumored on-set tensions that caused Christina Haack and Tarek El Mousa to pull the plug on the HGTV series. The formerly married couple was discussing renovations of a Spanish style house when they disagreed on how to handle the massive backyard pool.

Rihanna knows the kind of parent she wants to be. According to Elle, she's comparing her parenting style to those of the ladies of "The Real Housewives" franchise. Rihanna said, "Heather Dubrow [of 'Orange County'] is so chic while being a mom. Just love the way that she just allows her kids to be who they are. And that's really inspiring to me, but Teresa [Giudice] from Jersey does not play about her kids. She will flatten you about those kids. And that resonates with me a lot because I feel like that's the type of mom I'm going to be. Psycho about it. You talk about my kids, it's over." Meanwhile, Rihanna shared what the tail end of her pregnancy is looking like; "There's a pregnancy glow. There's also those days, girl. Especially in the third trimester where you wake up and you're like, oh, do I have to get dressed. The face gets a little round and chubby. The nose starts to spread.
Everything is a challenge, from getting dressed and how you're going to do your makeup. But I like challenges. I like things that force me to be creative and create in new ways."
Norman Reedus is recovering from a head injury he got on the set of "The Walking Dead." The incident happened on Friday in Georgia during the filming of its final episodes.

After only six days behind bars, "Empire" star Jussie Smollett has been released from prison while his appeal plays out, according to New York Post. A judge said that because the offenses were "non-violent," the court would allow him to be released on a $150,000 individual bond during the appeal. Special prosecutor Dan Webb opposed Jussie's release, saying there was "no emergency that warrants the extraordinary relief of staying" the sentence. He went on to say the Jussie didn't provide any real proof that he was in danger and used "cursory, woefully undeveloped arguments" to sway the court, in the state's response to the motion for release. Either way, it worked.
"Star Wars" fans are patiently waiting for the arrival of the new limited series "Obi-Wan Kenobi" coming to Disney+. The series is set 10 years after "Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith" on the planet of Tatooine, where Luke Skywalker grows up as Obi-Wan watches over him from afar. The trailer gave fans their first look at the young Skywalker played by Grant Feely. Mark Hamill who played the OG Luke Skywalker in the 70s and 80s gave the young actor his blessing on Twitter. "Grant Feely looks like a perfect Luke Skywalker," Hamill posted, adding, "I am wishing him all the very best! #TheForceIsWithFeely." I'm really looking forward to revisiting this 20 years down the line to see if the kid does end up growing up to look just like him. I'm a very patient person like that.
