It takes someone extraordinarily talented to stand out in mega shows like American Idol, the Got Talent franchise, The X Factor, and even The Voice franchise. But once a winner is chosen and the cameras stop rolling, what becomes of the stars? From Connie Talbot from Britain’s Got Talent continuing on other shows to The X Factor’s Alexandra Burke attaining international stardom, here’s what some…

Isabel Roloff and Jacob Roloff often share very sweet photos of each other.
To most observers, these snapshots are awfully romantic.
They depict a couple quite in love.
But to others? To the trolls and losers and idiots who choose to give a stranger a hard time over her body?
They depict something else, unfortunately.
On Thursday, Isabel shared a lengthy statement on Instagram in response to some really awful things being said about her on the Internet.
She wrote with emotion about “the experience of being a curvy person with a skinnier partner,” explaining:
“This is something that isn’t talked about nearly enough and it leaves people feeling alone. That is my experience, I have often felt alone in this.”
Apparently, there are actually folks out there who look at pictures of Isabel and Jacob — the fourth child of Little People, Big World stars Amy and Matt Roloff — and make fun of the former.
Simply because she has a bigger body type than her husband.
Roloff went on to describe how photos of her and her man often result in comments such as… “she is so much bigger than him,” “either she can cook or has a great personality,” or even “that’s disrespectful, lose weight for your man.”
What the f-ck, right?!?!
“The comments are then swiftly deleted by me and then the person is blocked,” Isabel told her followers.
“I am in a good place with my body now, I really am, but it still sucks to see them.”
This is an extra sensitive topic for Isabel because she’s been candid in the past about having an eating disorder.
She therefore continued in her message:
“A lot of body image issues stem from wanting to take up less space.
“And when you are ‘bigger’ than your partner, you can feel incredibly embarrassed by taking up more space than them.”
Isabel said she frequently wonders what others are thinking about their size discrepancy any time she and Jacob are in public.
“The size of our bodies has no bearing on our worth,” Roloff said, very accurately and admirably.
“Our unique body shapes should be celebrated, not shamed. Besides, we are more than our bodies. So much more.”
AMEN, Isabel!
Isabel has been very open of late about her mental health struggles.
And it really sucks that she has to deal with these sorts of critiques from social media users.
“You need to know that it’s okay to be shaped differently than your partner. It’s more than okay, it’s beautiful. It’s perfect,” she wrote this week, sending out the perfect message.
“I have struggled with this for so long in secret, if me talking about it openly helps to normalize it, then it will have been worth it.”
Isabel recently published a cryptic message on social media about how the long-running feud with Jeremy and Audrey Roloff has left her feeling anxious.
She wrote that she “needed some space from this space. My anxious breathing happens on & off.”
“Different things trigger it but honestly interactions with people on here can send me spiraling and make my anxiety worse more than anything.”
Keep hanging in there, Isabel.
Keep feeling positive about yourself and please keep sending out these inspirational messages.
We applaud you for them.
Ronald Pickup has sadly passed away at the age of 80.
The actor was best known for his roles in the movie The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel and the Netflix series The Crown.
Pickup‘s agent told the BBC that he “passed away peacefully yesterday after a long illness surrounded by his wife and family. He will be deeply missed.”
In The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel and the film’s 2015 sequel, Pickup played Norman Cousins. He later played the Archbishop of Canterbury in season one of The Crown and he also appeared in the Oscar-nominated movie Darkest Hour in 2017.
Pickup began his career in the theatre and the National Theatre in the UK tweeted a tribute to him.
“We’re very sad to hear that Ronald Pickup has died. Ronald was an exceptional actor and had a long history with the NT, starting with 1964′s The Royal Hunt of the Sun,” the National Theatre tweeted. “He went on to feature in 36 of our productions, and was a regular at The Old Vic under Laurence Olivier.”
We’re sending our thoughts and condolences to Ronald‘s loved ones during this difficult time.
Khloe Kardashian went viral this week for sharing photos for a Good American campaign that many thought looked freakishly weird. The photos were for Good American shoes and Khloe posed for a series of shots where her hands, feet, and […] The article https://ift.tt/3bJF0bC published by https://ift.tt/3oh2muB and appeared first on https://ift.tt/2HoCTi8.

#KeepingUpWithTheKardashians
Fans are all to familiar with the many faces of Khloe Kardashian.
Usually, when she’s busted doctoring her photos, it’s her face or body.
This time, Khloe is being just plain weird … posting grotesquely elongated feet.
Is she trying to emulate Slenderman? Some kind of satyr? What’s going on?

Khloe Kardashian is a beautiful woman, but in this photo, that’s not the topic of discussion.
Instead, everyone was looking at her feet … crowding in on the territory of that part of the internet.
Khloe’s feet look inhumanly long, obviously distorted, like the face of a Borzoi, and the entire internet called her out on it.
There are times when Khloe does not respond well to criticism — including when she gets busted doctoring photos.
But Khloe insists that this Slenderman body horror show on display is not the result of photoshop.
Instead, she says, it’s just the camera lens.
“HA I’m cracking up!” Khloe responded to the widespread roasting.
She explained: “[For a] few of those [Good American] photos, we shot on a camera lens that creates a stretching effect.”
“The closer the object is to camera,” Khloe detaioled, “they will get elongated.”
“So in some of my photos my feet/fingers look incredibly long,” Khloe explained.
“Not to worry!” she assured fans. “I still have normal size hands/fingers.”
No one thought that she’d gotten some sort of … digitigrade leg extensions.
“I mean..LOL how could anyone believe this is the size of my feet?!” Khloe wrote in another tweet.
“it’s The angle and the type of lens,” she once again explained.
“And personally,” Khloe opined, “I think this camera lens is so f–king cool.”
“It gives the photo a different vibe and not the same old visual I always see,” Khloe noted of this unique lens.
“Either way,” she affirmed, “I’m happy with them.”
“It’s just the lens guys!” Khloe wrote in yet another tweet. “LOL but some of these stories are really reaching.”
Okay, so first of all, aside from a few bonkers tweets, we think that most people were accusing Khloe of photoshop.
This is not the first time, since she either appears to have developed the ability to mildly shapeshift or has been distorting her image.
Khloe’s “fun” with photo editing is so extreme that actual government officials have discussed a law requiring celebrities to disclose when their pics are doctored.
Sometimes, the people poking fun at Khloe are just doing that — teasing someone very famous for doing something very silly.
Others are genuinely concerned, though.
It’s no secret that Khloe radically transformed her appearance years ago due to bullying. And maybe that’s still happening.
Fans fear that she has major untreated self-esteem and self-image issues, which manifests itself in painfully doctored pics.
That could absolutely be the case, but we cannot pretend to diagnose her with something so complex over Twitter. Also we’re not doctors.
But let’s be very clear — giving herself mega-feet could not have been intentional. That’s not some beauty standard she’s trying to meet.
We’re glad that everyone, including Khloe, could have a good laugh over these inhuman feet.
In the mean time, anyone looking to date after the COVID-19 pandemic dies down might need to be on the lookout for dudes using a lens just like this one.
Just saying … if it made Khloe’s feet look that long, the lens could get up to all kinds of mischief.
Garth Brooks has revealed that wife Trisha Yearwood has tested positive for coronavirus.
The country couple’s team shared a note from the duo on Facebook, revealing the news.
The note shared that Garth and Trisha have been “quarantining at home on the heels of a recent positive Covid test by a member of their team” and that while Trisha tested positive, Garth‘s own test came back negative.
“The Queen and I have now tested twice,” Garth said. “Officially, she’s diagnosed as ‘on her way out of the tunnel’ now, though, which I’m extremely thankful for.”
Severe winter weather in Tennessee prevented the couple from getting tested until almost a week after their initial exposure; once they did, they continued to quarantine together.
He continued, “Anyone who knows me knows my world begins and ends with Miss Yearwood, so she and I will ride through this together, and anyone who knows her knows she’s a fighter and she’s been doing everything right, so I know we’ll walk out the other side of this thing together.”
The couple’s team also shared that Trisha is doing okay and is dealing with symptoms of the contagious virus.
“She’s tough. She’s stronger than me,” Garth added. “If anyone asks, that’s [say a prayer] what you can do for her. That’s what I’m doing. Living with her, I sometimes take it for granted she’s one of the greatest voices in all of music, so the possible long-term effects on her concern me as her husband and as a fan.”
Last year, Garth and Trisha had to go into quarantine after exposure from another person.
The duo were also at the forefront of virtual entertainment and brought mini concerts to their fans from their home studio.
Page Six reported today that Kourtney Kardashian and Shanna Moakler, Travis Barker’s ex-wife and mother of his children, appear to have increased their battle of wits, so to speak.

Last week, Larissa Lima called out vicious body-shaming cyberbullies.
Upon some reflection, however, she’s reconsidering some of her past feuding.
It may be true that who is against the Queen will die … but one of her former enemies can live.
So Larissa is offering Vanessa Guerra a public apology, and she is not holding back.

At the Happily Ever After? Tell All, Larissa and Vanessa were not on friendly terms. Not by a long shot.
Now, with months of reflection, Larissa is changing her tune dramatically.
“A message to Vanessa @guerra_702,” Larissa’s lengthy caption began on a recent Instagram post.
“It sometimes requires a lot of bravery to forgive and or to apologize,” Larissa acknowledged.
Especially if you are a proud person, which Larissa certainly is.
“But when we take a look inside of ourselves,” she reflected, “we realize it’s what we need to do.”
“I was previously under the impression that ‘women empowerment’ was about a group of woman bullying and hating another woman,” Larissa shared.
I am … horrified and wondering where she could have gotten that impression.
“Today,” Larissa wrote, “I know the true meaning of it.”
“It means to be kind, empathetic, and to be patient,” Larissa acknowledged.
She stressed the importance “to understand another woman’s reasoning before throwing her hate.”
That is certainly part of it — not tearing down women at random or feeling threatened by another due to her gender.
“No more to criticize another woman’s appearance,” Larissa acknowledged.
There is no non-harmful way to insult appearance, even if you are taking aim at the worst person alive.
Larissa said that there are many reasons to not criticize looks, explaining “because we all have a different image of beauty, is one example.”
“I am growing as a human being,” Larissa pointed out.
“And,” she shared, “I will no longer team up with anyone to go against another person.”
Her feud with Vanessa, despite having her own reasons for a grudge, arose from her ex-friend Jess Caroline’s beef.
“What right do I have to do this,” Larissa declared.
She noted that this is true “especially when I truly do not know this woman I may be judging?”
Certainly, Larissa doesn’t know Vanessa as intimately as her ex-husband Colt Johnson does.
“Learning, gaining wisdom, and growing as a better human being is a necessity for our own well-being,” Larissa affirmed correctly.
“And,” she added, it also works “to make everyone else’s life better too.”
That is absolutely true — all of this contributes to a better self and a better society.
“Right now, I want to publicly apologize to Vanessa,” Larissa proclaimed.
Clearly, this has been in Larissa’s thoughts for some time.
“Vanessa, you are pretty, you are kind,” she affirmed.
“And,” Larissa expressed, “I admire your steady state of calm.”
Larissa herself is not always a calm person, so one can see how she would be impressed. That’s very honest of her.
“I’ve always thought this of you,” Larissa concluded her apology, “even at my worst.”
