On the latest episode of her social media cooking series, Cooking with Demi, the 32-year-old actor and singer faced her fears of raw poultry by trying out a new roasted chicken recipe. “It seems overwhelming, but it’s not. We’re gonna have fun. And I’m telling myself this because I feel overwhelmed,” she began the video. “I hate raw chicken. I’m afraid I’m gonna get Salmonella; it’s disgusting, there’s juice,” the Camp Rock alum added, bringing the uncooked chicken to the sink to drain the liquid. As Lovato continued prepping the chicken, her hands showed a slight tremor during some of the close-up shots, worrying some viewers. “I’m afraid of seeing her shaking that hard,” one worried fan commented.

Sabrina Carpenter Responds To Brits Performance Controversy

Sabrina Carpenter Responds To Brits Performance Controversy

She also performed at the event, opening the ceremony with a Rule Britannia/Espresso mash-up (it sounded a lot better than you might think). During the act, the singer suggestively crouched down to a backup dancer’s waist with her mic in her hand, while the dancer, dressed as a royal guard, looked at the camera and winked. That controversial moment from the famously flirty singer led to some furore online ― as an X user wrote, “she had two minutes and singlehandedly triggered boomers”. Another wrote: “Ofcom is gonna be getting lots of complaints tonight #BRITs2025.” One X post suggested she was “oversexualising herself”. Sabrina has since written an Instagram post about the performance, sharing six words in response to criticism and comments about Ofcom online. “I now know what watershed is!!!!” she joked in a caption above a picture of her red carpet outfit. The watershed refers to the time of day when TV programmes which might be unsuitable for children can be broadcast – in the UK, it’s 9pm. During her Global Success Award …

Vance Responds To Pope’s Criticism Of Trump Administration

Vance Responds To Pope’s Criticism Of Trump Administration

Authored by T.J. Muscaro via The Epoch Times, Vice President JD Vance said he was surprised to hear of Pope Francis’s criticism of the Trump administration’s immigration policy while speaking at the National Catholic Prayer Breakfast in Washington on Feb. 28. Despite that disagreement, Vance prayed for Pope Francis at the event, as the pope remained in critical condition on Feb. 28 after suffering a bronchospasm that caused vomiting and the need for non-invasive mechanical ventilation, the Holy See announced. Vance also said he believes that the pontiff is a man who deeply cares about the spiritual direction of the faith and the world’s Christians. “I will always remember the Holy Father as a great pastor, as a man who can speak the truth, the faith, in a very profound way at a moment of great crisis,” Vance said.  He recalled a sermon of hope that the pope delivered in March 2020 at the height of the pandemic in an empty St. Peter’s Square, likening it to the gospel in which Jesus calmed the sea …

Trump Responds to Selena Gomez Crying Over Mass Deportations

Trump Responds to Selena Gomez Crying Over Mass Deportations

Donald Trump‘s administration has responded to Selena Gomez‘s since-deleted video of herself crying over the deportation of undocumented immigrants under the president’s aggressive new approach to immigration. Earlier this month, in an Instagram video that was quickly taken down, the actress and singer said as tears poured down her face, “All my people are getting attacked … the children. I don’t understand. I’m so sorry. I wish I could do something but I can’t. I don’t know what to do. I’ll try everything, I promise.” After taking down the clip and receiving backlash from Trump supporters, the Only Murders in the Building star responded, “Apparently it’s not OK to show empathy for people.” Gomez also noted that she is a third-generation Mexican American. On Friday, Trump shared a video on the official White House X (formerly Twitter) account, which included three mothers, whose daughters were allegedly murdered by illegal immigrants, and their responses to Gomez’s video. “Seeing that video, it’s hard to believe that it’s actually genuine and real because she’s an actress,” Alexis Nungaray, …

Texas Museum Responds to Outcry over Sally Mann Photos of Children

After several Sally Mann photographs were removed from a show at Texas’s Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth amid controversy, the institution has finally responded, issuing a brief statement on the matter. The Mann photographs were removed after some locals and politicians claimed that these images were “child porn.” The Dallas Express, which published several articles reporting on locals’ concerns, previously reported that there was a police investigation surrounding the works as evidence for alleged child abuse, but the museum had not responded to inquiries about it until now. Related Articles Mann has regularly faced controversy about her depictions of children. She became known for photographing her home in Lexington, Virginia; some of her shots have featured her own children in the nude.

Michael Strahan Responds to National Anthem Criticism

Michael Strahan Responds to National Anthem Criticism

Michael Strahan is addressing the backlash he has received since being filmed not putting his hand over his heart during the playing of the National Anthem. As part of the Fox NFL Sunday’s special Veterans Day segment broadcast on Nov. 10 from the San Diego Naval base, Strahan was seen standing alongside his co-hosts during the National Anthem not placing a hand over his chest while his colleagues did. The move resulted in criticism and speculation that Strahan could’ve been attempting to make a statement. However, in a post on Instagram, Strahan addressed the criticism and debunked the theories that he was protesting: “I have nothing to protest. I have no statement to be made. The only statement that should be made and that I want to make is that I love the military, I’ve always loved the military, and I will always love the military.” “I do so many programs to help veterans and soldiers. I grew up on a military base with a father who was a major in the army. My brother, my …

In an allegation that was almost immediately debunked by ABC News moderator David Muir, Trump said: “In Springfield, they’re eating the dogs. The people that came in. They’re eating the cats. They’re eating – they’re eating the pets of the people that live there. And this is what’s happening in our country, and it’s a shame.” Trump was referring to a racist rumor spread by his running mate JD Vance that Haitian immigrants in the city of Springfield, Ohio had been abducting pets and eating them, “causing chaos” in the town.
