‘I want to forgive you, and I wanna forget you’, we’ll never forget) has shared her apparent love of the raw meat diet which we cannot in good faith advertise here as a terribly brilliant thing to do.Still, the star is all about it, and was papped – how convenient – this week tucking into a *checks notes* raw bison heart.From a Ziplock bag, no less.Many experts have warned against eating raw meat, and, while there can be benefits to consuming organ meats – such as providing a good source of vitamin A and iron – there is a possible risk of food poisoning due to any bacteria that would usually be destroyed through the cooking process.Be that as it may, the wife of Spencer Pratt revealed in January she was consuming a diet including raw meat and filmed herself cutting up a slab of raw bison liver with scissors and sharing her hopes it’ll aid with her fertility.Clearly finding a love for the stuff, she then shared a clip of herself nibbling on bull testicles, as you do.Classic famous people.Speaking to People recently, Heidi – who is mum to four-year-old son Gunner – said she’d researched the ‘carnivore diet’ and wanted to give it a go.She said: ‘I have been trying to get pregnant for over a year and a half, I’m willing to try different things. It’s a great source of nutrients! I have felt incredible on this diet.

Sports Illustrated have found their finalists for the upcoming Swimsuit Issue, and it’s the most diverse panel yet.A staple in the magazine since 1964, the Swimsuit issue was long the centre of controversy, with some condemning it as objectifying women due to its spot in a generally male-centred magazine.Critics perceived it as objectifying women, while others argued it was represented the pinnacle of success for supermodels.In recent years, Sports Illustrated has sought to feature more diverse models in its pages, and featured Muslim model Halima Aden in a hijab and bikini in 2019, with plus size model Hunter McGrady starring in the magazine the same year.Meanwhile, Valentina Sampaio became the first transgender woman to feature in the magazine in July 2020.Embracing the new move, this year the popular sports magazine has rounded up 14 of the world’s most inspiring women to be in with the chance of appearing in the 2023 issue.The 2022 Swim Search finalists include a Nasa astronaut, hero ICU nurse, lawyers, women who have battled life-threatening diseases, full-time carers and more.Thousands of incredible women applied for the 2022 Swimsuit issue, and after months of difficult decisions, 14 finalists have now made their way to the Dominican Republic for the finals.All 14 will work with professional photographer Yu Tsai in a potentially life-changing photoshoot, before one is chosen to be the Rookie in the 2023 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue.The finalists themselves, as well as the public, have praised the diverse range of models up for a chance to be included in the prestigious, career-launching shoot.Ashley Byrd holds a degree in Criminal Justice and a Masters in Public Administration, and has worked as everything

London.The Love Will Never Do hitmaker rocked a casual look, wearing tracksuit bottoms and a hoodie with platform trainers and a scarf during her outing. She might have been surrounded by flowers as she exited a shop but she still wrapped up for the chilly weather in England’s capital with the all-black look.Janet, 55, looked radiant following a busy few months for the star, after she released her unflinching documentary which covered everything from her upbringing and her brother Michael Jackson, to the her Super Bowl wardrobe malfunction in 2004.As well as setting the record straight on rumours and fan theories the doc featured A-list appearances from Mariah Carey, Missy Elliot, Janelle Monae, Teyana Taylor, Tyler Perry, Samuel L Jackson and more. As well, brother Michael was mentioned, as the programme discussed how Janet lost a Coca-Cola endorsement amid his sexual abuse allegations, and how their relationship wasn’t always rosy since tension boiled between them when they worked on their hit Scream in 1995. Janet was widely praised for the documentary, with the star also opening up about her infamous wardrobe malfunction at the Super Bowl.Addressing her relationship with Justin Timberlake following the intense backlash she received, she said: ‘We talked once.

Rihanna is reportedly working with advisers to take her Savage X Fenty lingerie brand public.The fashion star and Diamond hitmaker – who is absolutely slaying her pregnancy style lately – could make the move with an initial offering potentially valuing the company at $3 billion – that’s NINE zeros.As reported by Bloomberg, sources have said the firm is working with banks like Morgan Stanley and Goldman Sachs to determine its worth and get an idea of the demand.Although a listing could take place as soon as this year, the company is yet to make an official call on when – or even if – it plans to go public.An initial public offering (IPO) sees a company go from private to public ownership with stocks issued to the public, which lets the firm raise funds and grow.Back in January, Savage X Fenty – which launched in 2018 as an online-only brand – raised $125 million in a fundraising round which was led by Neuberger Berman.This reportedly included previous investors including L Catterton, Avenir Growth Capital, Sunley House Capital Management and Jay Z’s Marcy Venture Partners.RiRi herself is reportedly worth $1.7 billion, with around $1.4 billion of that coming Fenty Beauty, of which Forbes reports she owns 50%.To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 videoShe has taken over the cosmetics and fashion world with her own empire, ranging from Fenty Beauty and Fenty Skin to Savage x Fenty and luxury fashion house Fenty.The latter was opened under French conglomerate LVMH Moet Hennessy Louis Vuitton in 2019, but last month Vuitton announced it had ‘jointly made the decision to put on hold the ready-to-wear activity, based in Europe, pending better conditions’.Back in

Kanye West.Not the multi-platinum selling artist, Grammy award winner, clothing designer and one-time Presidential candidate, but the abusive behaviour of the man behind the façade.I’m loath to mention his successes, but I do so because I believe they are the reason as to why Kanye West is not facing the criticism and condemnation at the level he deserves. Over the past few months, West has behaved in a plethora of disturbing ways as he seemingly refuses to accept that his relationship with Kim Kardashian is over, and that she is moving on with her life with a new partner.His actions have become increasingly concerning, but because it’s Kanye – one of the richest and powerful men on the planet and an ‘artist’ not adverse to controversy and drama  – the public seem to accept his actions as entertainment, rather than the manipulative and controlling behaviour they truly are.Last week, Kanye’s six-year marriage to Kim Kardashian finally came to an end when Kim was declared legally single.

Brian May has said that comments he made last week in relation to the BRIT Awards dropping gendered categories were “subtly twisted” by some pesky journalists in order to make it appear that he is “unfriendly to trans people”.“Yes – I was ambushed and completely stitched up by a journalist at the recent ITV event”, he says in a new post on Instagram. “And it’s led to a whole mess of press stories making it look like I’m unfriendly to trans people.

Brian May has backtracked on his previous comments about the Brit Awards scrapping its gendered categories, insisting he wasn’t being ‘unfriendly to trans people’. The Queen guitarist reacted to the Brits’ groundbreaking move of introducing gender-neutral categories for its 2022 awards, with male and female nominations axed entirely in a bid to promote inclusivity. Speaking to The Sun at ITV Palooza last week, Brian was quoted as saying he believed his legendary rock band Queen ‘wouldn’t be considered diverse enough’ if they started out today.
