Fat shaming thor

Social media star Taya Christian has opened up about being "fat-shamed" for gaining weight during the pandemic. The influencer and medical student, who boasts more than 1.6million followers on Instagram, has always enjoyed sharing her life with her fans. However, she said she was "harassed and ridiculed" by many male followers during the pandemic for gaining a significant amount of weight. Things got so bad that she was even sent death threats. Opening up exclusively to Daily Star on the issue, the blonde beauty said: "I used to be what people would consider to be 'really fit' and I built up my social media following based on that. "But when the pandemic hit, school and that, I gained a lot of weight. "When you're on the internet, it becomes obvious if you've put on weight and people tell you straight away." She continued: "When I put on a little bit of weight, some people said 'it looks good on you', but others told me I'd 'lost my shape'. "However, when I gained a … [Read more...] about ‘Men sent me death threats over pandemic weight gain – fat shaming needs to stop’

It’s fair to say the women of Wisteria Lane are truly legendary, from Lynette’s no-nonsense attitude to Gaby’s enviable wardrobe, the group all brought their something special to the show.

Everyone has a different comfort level when it comes to nudity. But regardless of personal taste, most people will agree that seeing their mom or dad naked is a bit much. Still, one mom was shocked when her child started asking her to cover up, with the internet divided on whether or not it's appropriate to be nude in front of your kids. In a post to Mumsnet's "Talk" forum on Sunday, user Lou153Lou asked for advice after her child requested that she "cover up [her] fatness?" The woman explained that her eldest child had expressed disgust at her body and had been asking her to hide her "squidge." She wrote: "My BMI is currently 29 and I am losing weight. My children are all skinny. "I've always been naked around the house before I get dressed in the morning and before bed or whatever. I still bath with my children. "Tonight my 8 year old daughter (eldest) was in the bath with me and said that she was embarrassed by my nakedness and 'squidgyness.'" Apparently, her daughter … [Read more...] about Internet backs 8-year-old girl who asked mom to cover up her “fatness”

Apparently Victoria Beckham has got a new range of “normal” sized clothes out, and now she thinks that wanting to be “really thin” is an “old fashioned attitude”. Well, knock me down with a feather, which you probably could still do in the case of “Posh” Spice, as we must now learn not to call her. As far as I can remember, Victoria Posh (or whatever her name currently is/was) was the poster girl for skinny back in the 1990s. In the era of Cool Britannia, you weren’t cool unless you could make yourself invisible just by turning sideways. If you were fatter than a wafer of graphene you deserved all the ridicule you got. Remember Kate Moss’s infamous “nothing tastes as good as skinny feels”? Times change, though, and since her heyday, Spice-Beckham regrets the societal pressures that made women into stick insects. She told the press a few years ago about what life used to be like: “In the gym, instead of checking my posture and position, I was checking the size of my … [Read more...] about Victoria Beckham is finally up to date with her views on being skinny

Recently revamped heroes. Photo: Russell Dauterman, David Marquez, and Stefano Caselli/Marvel Entertainment When Marvel Comics announced that a 15-year-old black girl named Riri Williams would be taking over as Iron Man later this year, the company was prepared for an attack from the right. Indeed, Brian Michael Bendis — the veteran scribe who introduced Riri in an Iron Man comic a few months ago and who will be writing her upcoming adventures — sounded a bit cocky about the high ground he held against his potential critics. “Some of the comments online, I don’t think people even realize how racist they sound,” he told Time in the article unveiling the move, referring to past assaults on Marvel for replacing traditionally white characters with nonwhite ones. “All I can do is state my case for the character, and maybe they’ll realize over time that that’s not the most progressive thinking.” Ironically, progressive thinking is what fueled the most pointed backlash to the … [Read more...] about Geeks Are Angry About Iron Man Becoming a Black Girl — But Not for the Reason You’d Think

Kumail Nanjiani has opened up about his discomfort with the focus on the physical transformation he underwent to prepare for his role in Marvel ’s Eternals . In December 2019, the actor shared shirtless photos of his muscular physique on Instagram , where he explained that he had “never thought” he’d be “one of those people who would post a thirsty shirtless,” but that he had worked “way too hard for way too long” to not show off his results. In the caption, Nanjiani had explained that he’d decided to “transform” how he looked after learning that he had gotten the role in the Marvel superhero movie, before thanking his team of nutritionists and personal trainers who helped him. However, in a new interview with GQ , the Silicon Valley star revealed that, in the year and a half since he shared the photos, he has grown “uncomfortable” talking about his body. “I’ve found out over the last year and a half, since I did that picture, that I am very uncomfortable … [Read more...] about Kumail Nanjiani says he is ‘very uncomfortable’ talking about his body since viral shirtless photos

I'M STANDING in a supermarket, as bewildered as Gulliver among the Brobdingnagians, with 400 varieties of differently twisty pasta on my left and 600 identical jars of sugo pomodoro e basilico on my right, in aisle three of the vast Esselungha store that services the inhabitants of umpteen tiny mountain villages surrounding the walled magnificence of Lucca, in west Tuscany, and I have just spotted Paul Smith. It's an exciting moment. The English fashion legend is dressed down today in drab black T-shirt and magnolia shorts. Out of one of the pockets hangs a bill which suggests he has just purchased some cassettes from the shop's bustling music department. While craning to see what the great man's musical taste runs to these days, I suddenly realise I am behaving like a classical Tuscany Brit, foolishly devoted to the comings and goings of other British people while supposedly enraptured by the artistic heritage of central Italy. The place is full of us. Beside the … [Read more...] about John Walsh on Monday: Blair implicated in Cornettogate riddle
