maybe i’m mistaken but.. the way the media treats louis has changed a bit. (not necessarily in a Good way just. different?) hear me out.. i was reading this shitty daily mail article that talked about harry’s 30th - and ofc it was filled with all kinds of daily mail typical nonsense. but when it predictably started listing off the “shortcomings” of the other 1d members and how they weren’t nearly as worthy of having their ass kissed as harry, louis’ bit wasn’t as bad as the others..? especially compared to the way they focused on liam’s alcoholism and had several paragraphs dedicated to insulting zayn.
they described him as “pint sized” and said his venues were “noticeably smaller than harry’s” (which, no fucking shit? holo was in the works starting back in 2013). the worst part was alluding to jay and fizzy’s deaths being some kind of “one direction curse”. other than that though - no mention of freddie, the airport arrest, the chile leak (which.. didn’t DM leak that..?), beef with H, tiffs with journalists, etc.
i just think it’s super weird that the worst insults they could come up with were calling him tiny and comparing his tour to H’s? it’s almost like the strategy they’ve collectively taken in the last year-ish is to downplay his success and aid in the gp not taking his solo career seriously (by minimizing any of his solo accomplishments/focusing on 1d/sexualizing or objectifying him) rather than being outright insulting and aggressive and throwing vitriol at him hoping he breaks.
could also just be that they were too busy lavishing so much nauseating praise on H that they surpassed their word count or they wanted to insinuate that louis was forgettable or not worth their time, but idk!
hate to give them clicks but here’s the link if you want to read it in full:
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/usshowbiz/article-13032513/Why-Harry-Styless-friends-urging-settle-married-babies-30th-birthday-today-lives-incognito-life-London-Canadian-model-Taylor-Russell.html?ito=native_share_article-top
First, it’s actually very on-brand for an article about Harry Styles’ birthday to consist mostly of insults about the other 1D guys. The fact that this is 2024 but media still feel the need to do this belies the hollowness of the Harry Styles hype.
After three years of build-up in 1D (2013-15) and eight years of industry propping him up, giving Harry Styles the access to the biggest songwriters and producers in the industry, the best venues money and power can buy, Azoff clients and adjacent saying his farts don’t smell, movie roles handed to him on a silver platter, with Christopher Nolan no less?, iconic Phoebe Waller-Bridges making a music video with him, Chloe Zhao saying he’s the second coming of Christ, Bono loving him more than his own child, even Billie Eilish and Miley Cyrus wanting to work with him, bought Grammys over Beyoncé etc., and this is the best they can do for his birthday? That Harry is “better than the rest of 1D”?
DM sounds a little like Harries on Twitter boasting about Harry Styles’ streams, or his wealth, or his Grammys and stadium tours, all of which amounts to the same boast: look what industry can create.
Look what they did with someone so white, bland, and pretty. Look at the money machine they built from a guy so vaguely defined as to have no identity at all. Harry Styles says nothing, supports nothing, sings about nothing, stands for nothing. Harry’s convictions are those of Jeff Azoff & friends. He truly lives up to his name: all style, absolutely no substance.
But Harry has… numbers. Harries (and media) cling onto numbers like peasants worshipping the god of hard currency. They love that money. The way they boast about Harry’s numbers is a little scary, to be honest. It suggests that there’s nothing else they like about him.
We can also tell, nine years later, that Harry isn’t the deep-thinking romantic poet he was painted to be, the one who cared about social issues and community, the one who thought deeply about human relationships and love, the one who cared for his fans enough to speak to us like family, to treat us with care, to do one-on-one fan service, to look genuinely happy in our presence, to look and act grateful even as those words pass his lips onstage AND off, to measure the people he works with with genuine, heartfelt friendship and not only because of their power and influence.
Because it’s very clear, nine years later, who that person in One Direction was. It’s the guy who never put 1D down, who, despite everything that has happened since, values the journey and can articulate it with all of the bittersweet authenticity to his experience. It’s the guy whose album was delayed for years because his first solo single competed a little too hard with Harry’s.
To your other point about press being nicer to Louis this year, other people have noticed the same thing, that Louis has been winning touring awards and other peripheral awards not central to the music industry. He isn’t going to walk the Brits or Grammys red carpet, and he won’t be nominated for VMAs or Aria awards.
But Louis isn’t even supposed to have a solo performing career in 2024. After 2017, the industry shut him out of radio and streaming. Faith In The Future was shut out of critical reviews. He started touring with a 1500 capacity venue. He isn’t supposed to be able to sell arenas, let alone stadiums. He wasn’t supposed to set a livestream world record— not when Niall did one the same year. Louis isn’t supposed to be friends with indie musicians, or have a reputation as “rock ‘n roll royalty”— having been shut out of the BBC. He isn’t supposed to tour the biggest venues in Australia. He isn’t supposed to sell arenas in Poland or Romania or Finland or Turkey. He isn’t supposed to create his own festival, give fans the first festival completely free, and showcase young, upcoming bands. Louis wasn’t supposed to be in the position to nurture any band, was he? He was supposed to be ancient history by now. They all were supposed to kneel before the legendary Harry Styles and disappear.
But Louis is selling upwards of 700k tickets for his second tour, and here we are, Harries following his every move, Larries relying on him to launder Harry’s image, and DM having to acknowledge that Louis is successfully, happily touring and making music on his own terms, with his own employees, singing his own lyrics to his enthralled audiences. He doesn’t take the bait to compare himself to his bandmates, nor relive old fights, nor stir up band controversy. He doesn’t talk badly about the other men’s relationships or families. He’s the only one who has watched Niall’s and Liam’s concerts and publicly supports all the guys’ careers. If the worst they can say is that Louis isn’t Harry Styles, thank God he isn’t. Thank god he stayed himself, went through the fires and came out better. One Direction mythology has eroded over the years, but at least Louis remained good, inside and out. Not perfect, but human, trying, and genuinely, actually good.
Who really knows why media can show some positivity to Louis now. I am cautious about any real change. I guess the rest of 2024 will be revealing. I’ve been waiting for so long that I don’t really expect anything different. We’ll see.

Myleene Klass - who was sitting next to her -appearing bewildered https://www.dailymail.co.uk/usshowbiz/article-12055129/Bridgerton-star-Adjoa-Andoh-stuns-ITV-calling-Buckingham-Palace-balcony-terribly-white.html?ito=native_share_article-top
Why is is it when white people say that’s a black family it’s racism but it’s okay for a black person to say oh that’s such a very white family. Double standards much don’t you think. What bothers me so much about that it seems only white people can be called racists, whilst other coloured people are just as much capable of being racist

heyy can u give me summary abt rmarni and jud3? i missed smth i guess😭💕
Sure, I'll try to trace the story back. It all started last year, in December, when some fans noticed that Jud3 was spamming her posts with likes, after having liked some of them in the past. I understand she is from Dudley, which is near Birmingham. Anyway, he flew from Madrid to Birmingham in December/January for the holidays to spend some time with family/friends. She was also in Birmingham at the time, as apparently, she lives there. Around mid-January, an article appeared claiming that they had met on Raya and were exchanging messages (I'll put the link to the article down below). I don't remember exactly how, but a story came out in late December (not in the press) that they were exchanging messages and that they were planning some sort of "date", although he was forcing a date "inside", not in public, apparently he stood her up and left her waiting "outside" (?), and that he later apologised that he was asleep and forgot about the whole thing. A few days after the article was published, she denied it on two separate occasions: once by posting a TikTok (since deleted) asking for money to promote an app (Raya) she had never heard of (I'd like to put the link on Instagram because the video was also posted there, but I'm afraid my profile will be shared), and on another occasion on live, but I don't remember exactly what she said. Shortly afterwards, she posted a story with a quote criticising people who pretend to be one thing in public and are something else in reality, which made people realise that things hadn't gone quite right. However, she kept liking his posts like crazy, after minutes he would post them, but he never liked hers from January, and when he was back in Birmingham around August he liked one of her posts, so people started to think that they had met again in Birmingham. Shortly after that, she posted another quote similar to the previous one. Now, I have tried to remember the whole thing, so if anyone wants to correct or add anything, please do.

Two minibike 'gang' suspects are arrested for attacking 90210's Ian Ziering during brawl on Hollywood street

Interesting article, but I think Sam’s not seriously in contention, he’s too busy with Outlander and I thought he was joking about the Bond producers calling him. Here is what the article says about Sam:
Although, if future hiatuses are as long as this one was (June 2018 to March 2019 is 8 months), he might be able to do it. Major action-adventure films can take up to four or five months for principle photography.
Here is what one article said about that, with the chart showing average production length below (not including any needed pick ups for missing or new scenes or shots):

“After she and Jason split in 2020, Olivia met Harry at a party for Irving Azoff. At the time, production was beginning for Olivia's directorial debut film, Don't Worry Darling, which she also starred in.”
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/usshowbiz/article-11808627/amp/The-truth-Olivia-Wilde-Jason-Sudeikis-reconciliation-revealed.html
I’ve never heard this before? At a party for Irving? And before Shia left at the end of August 2020…
Obvs this is coming from her team so that is strange - it could be true because that’s a weird lie to manufacture, I guess?
Even Daily Mail is no longer lying for Girl Boss: look at the timeline they used:

No hiding THAT any longer. I do hope the show addresses the Jess character soon. Seems they will hide it and not have it come into play for her.....
