5 Masks That Will Obliterate Blackheads

Although blackheads are less conspicuous than acne or hyperpigmentation, they are still one of the most annoying skincare issues out there. Essentially, blackheads are open pores that are clogged with sebum and have oxidised to give them their greyish-black appearance. The best way to get rid of them is by getting regular extractions at the hands of a professional. Unfortunately, that can get time-consuming and expensive. Luckily, there are a number of powerful masks that can help banish them from your face!

1. Kiehl’s Rare Earth Deep Pore Cleansing Mask

Formulated with white clay, this detoxifying mask works to draw out toxins and impurities, whilst absorbing excess sebum. Unlike several clay masks however, this one does not dry skin out since it contains aloe in it too.

2. GlamGlow InstaMud

I love this quick-acting mask! The foaming formula purifies skin in 60 seconds and leaves it soft, clean and refreshed. Apart from oil-absorbing ingredients like bentonite and kaolin, it also features witch hazel, which is an astringent that helps minimise open pores. Plus, the purple formula makes for a fun selfie!

3. Tata Harper Purifying Mask

Although this mask is the most expensive one on this list, every drop is totally worth it. Apart from traditional ingredients like white clay, it contains probiotics, brown algae and essential oils to keep skin healthy. The most interesting component however, is prickly pear seed oil, which is a great anti-oxidant and helps in preventing blackheads.

4. Origins Original Skin Retexturing Mask With Rose Clay

Usually, I’m not a huge fan of physical exfoliation. This mask however completely changed my opinion! The jojoba beads present in this formula gently buff skin, without leaving it red, angry or irritated. I like popping this mask in the refrigerator for about 10 to 15 minutes before using it because the rose clay feels soothing when applied cold.

5. Boscia Charcoal Pore Pudding

When a product has 2 kinds of charcoal in it, you know it means business! This creamy mask goes on smoothly to decongest pores and balance skin. If you suffer from acne and blackheads, this is definitely the formula to opt for.

Although many people use pore strips to get rid off blackheads, I find that masks are gentler and more effective in the long run. If you’ve tried any of these formulas out, leave a comment below and let me know about your experience!

हिना खान उर्फ़ कोमोलिका की इस तरह होगी कसौटी ज़िन्दगी की से रवानगी

स्टार प्लस का पॉपुलर शो, कसौटी ज़िन्दगी की, दर्शकों के लिए अलग अलग ट्विस्ट लाते ही जा रहा है। जहाँ अभी हम देखने वाले हैं के प्रेरणा (एरिका फर्नांडिस) कोमोलिका और अनुराग (पार्थ समथान) को बर्बाद करने के लिए तैयार हैं, वहीँ आगे हम देखेंगे के प्रेरणा के इस मकसद में उसका साथ देने के लिए एक और करैक्टर की होगी एंट्री। और ये बात तो हम सभी जानते हैं के कोमोलिका का ड्रामा कुछ समय के लिए बंद होने वाला है, क्योंकि हिना खान अपने बॉलीवुड के कमिटमेंट्स के चलते छोड़ने वाली हैं ये शो।

लेकिन क्या आपने सोचा है के हिना की शो से रवानगी कब और कैसे होगी? मैं बताती हूँ। पिंकविला के एक सोर्स ने बताया के हिना को इस महीने के आखिर तक अपना आखरी सीन शूट करना था, लेकिन इसकी अवधि एक हफ्ते के लिए बढ़ा दी गयी है। और इसलिए हिना का फेयरवेल मई के पहले हफ्ते में होगा। जिसके बाद वह कांस में शामिल होंगी और कांस से आने के बाद वह विक्रम भट्ट की आने वाली फिल्म के लिए प्रिपेर करेंगी, जिसमे वह एक फैशन मैगज़ीन की एडिटर का किरदार निभाएंगी।

Hina Khan, (Source: Instagram | @realhinakhan)

कसौटी की बात करें तो अनुराग के पिता, मोलॉय बासु, जो एक्सीडेंट के बाद से कोमा में हैं, वो आ जाएंगे होश में, और कर देंगे कोमोलिका का पर्दाफाश। और सच्चाई सामने के बाद कोमोलिका को निकाल दिया जाएगा बासु हाउस से।

और इस तरह हिना खान हो जाएंगी शो से बाहर। खैर ये तो हुई कुछ दिनों की बात, रही बात कोमोलिका की तो कोमोलिका फिर शो में एंट्री लेगी और जल्द ही फिर तबाही मच जाएगी अनुराग और प्रेरणा की ज़िन्दगी में।

Shilpa Shetty’s Mom Style Could Be Everyone’s Weekend Vibe

Shilpa Shetty Kundra

When it comes to Shilpa Shetty Kundra, her style scale can easily go from being totally relatable to aspirational instantly. This weekend it was all about family time for Shilpa, so the outfits were simple and very relatable. Also, she played around with the greyscale palette too!

Shilpa Shetty Kundra

Like every one of us, Shilpa had plans to see Avengers: Endgame, and she was spotted with her family at PVR, Juhu. For a chill,  family movie time, Shilpa wore matching separates that featured summer-classic checkered print. The strappy bralette with frills and the pleated flared pants looked really good on her. To offset the grey checks, she had on a red Chanel sling bag and red tinted oversized sunglasses. The evil eye pendant and the nude peep-toe shoes were the add ons that were minimal but impactful.

Shilpa Shetty Kundra

Yesterday, she was spotted with her family at Bastian for a Sunday lunch. Even for this look, she opted for a casual, grey sleeveless top which featured a knot and had ‘Positivity & Love’ written on it. This she had teamed with ripped jeans, grey heels, the evil eye pendant, round aviators and a silver quilted Chanel.

The greyscale and the chill weekend vibe of Shilpa’s outfits are exactly what we’re feeling right now! What about you?

Ali Zafar Files A Defamation Suit Against Meesha Shafi For Accusing Him Of Sexual Harassment

Meesha Shafi and Ali Zafar

A year ago, Pakistan-based singer Meesha Shafi had accused actor-singer, Ali Zafar for sexually harassing her. This Saturday, the latter announced on Twitter that the case against him has been dismissed. Ali had then categorically denied the accusations and now plans to drag Meesha to the court for defamation.

Read his tweet explaining the case here:

As per a report in Mid-Day, Ali told the media outside a sessions court, which heard the defamation suit against Meesha that:

I am truthful and those who are honest appear without being called. There was a social media campaign against me and I have taken this up with the FIA.

A report in The Express Tribune also quoted Ali saying:

I can’t believe that anyone can come forward and accuse someone who’s innocent and decent, has worked hard for over two decades — solely on social media. Those who accused me, levelled allegations for personal gains and then went to Canada, the truth is I was targeted for personal gains. I don’t know whether by doing this she wanted to become another Malala and get fame abroad.

Meesha is yet to respond to Ali’s tweets and his defamation suit against her.

Rhea Kapoor Wears The Most Inappropriate Look For The Season But We Love It!

Rhea Kapoor

The mind and hands behind almost all of Sonam Kapoor Ahuja‘s stellar outfits is her sister and stylist extraordinaire, Rhea Kapoor! From what I’ve gathered following her on Instagram, Rhea is that chill, laid back person who knows how to get sh*t done. And incidentally, her latest OOTN spoke of the exact same vibe too. It was chic, classy and so inappropriate for this season.

Rhea Kapoor

One wouldn’t really call her outfit extremely appropriate for the kind of weather Mumbai is facing right now, but somehow, when I saw her in this look, I was inspired to try it out for my next dinner party too. Everything she wore checks all the right boxes for a chic winter  look…

  • comfy tee
  • 0versized jack
  • joggers
  • boots

…but Rhea Kapoor, being who she is, wore this look in the middle of Mumbai’s summer and pulled it off like it was no big deal—and TBH, this is exactly what we love most about her. She doesn’t play by the rules whether she’s styling Sonam or herself and that’s exactly what makes her looks so noteworthy.

Rhea Kapoor

Diane Kruger Reveals Her Daughter's Personality: 'She's Not Really Girlie, She's Kind of a Dude'

Diane Kruger is opening up about her baby’s emerging personality.

Almost six months since confirming the arrival of her first child with boyfriend Norman Reedus, the star stepped out in New York City, where she revealed that her baby girl is developing her own little character.

“She’s not really girlie, she’s kind of a dude,” Kruger, 42, told PEOPLE at the Chanel Tribeca Film Festival Artists Dinner at Balthazar on Monday night.

Regardless, the actress said she’s saving special Chanel items for her daughter. “It’s fun to have a girl, I will say,” before adding, “I like that, too.”

PEOPLE confirmed on November 2 that Kruger and Reedus had welcomed their first child together but the couple kept all details of her birth private. Reedus also shares 19-year-old son, Mingus Lucien with his ex Helena Christensen.

Of the new dad’s interactions with their baby, Kruger gushed to reporters on Monday and said that Reedus is “very great with her.”

“He just looks at her with unconditional love,” she shared, before joking, “I wish he would look at me like that.”

It’s not just Reedus, 50, who has embraced his new role in the baby girl’s life. Kruger also revealed that Mingus has taken to becoming an older sibling very well.

“He’s great! You know 19 years is a big gap so he’s really like stepping up to be this protective big brother,” Kruger said.

Though she’s been soaking up every moment of motherhood, Kruger explained that she has no plans to expand her family further.

“No. I’m done,” before adding, “Norman has a 19-year-old son so I think our family is pretty much complete.”

The fiercely private couple haven’t yet disclosed their little one’s name — in part because Kruger and Reedus are concerned about their daughter’s safety. (In January, Kruger made an emotional appeal to her fans after photos of herself with her baby were leaked without her permission.)

“Well first and above all, it’s safety,” Kruger told PEOPLE. “We have The Walking Dead empire which has a lot of very intense fandomship that comes with it.”

Elaborating about the challenges that come with admirers of her boyfriend’s zombie series, Kruger added, “We had a couple incidences before her arrival that were not so fun to deal with and so my main concern’s her safety.”

“And secondly, she is an innocent, young, vulnerable baby and I think I just don’t understand why America doesn’t have better laws for children,” she continued.

Kruger, who has previously been open about losing the baby weight, also revealed that she’s been exercising since giving birth. “I mean it’s discipline for sure but I was a ballet dancer so all my life I’ve been sort of active,” she said.

“It just sort of happened by itself pretty much,” Kruger added. “I mean, I worked out.”

As for the best part of motherhood? “Everything. It’s awesome,” Kruger told reporters. “The whole thing is great.”

Pink Reveals She Had a Miscarriage at Age 17: 'You Feel Like Your Body Hates You'

Pink is opening up a tragic loss she experienced when she was just a teenager.

Just a few days after releasing her latest album Hurts 2B Human, the singer, 39, told USA Today about the inspiration behind some of her newest songs, which speak to her battles with anxiety, self-image, and self-love.

One song, “Happy”, was especially personal for Pink, as she revealed the lyrics, “Since I was 17, I’ve always hated my body / and it feels like my body’s hated me” were written about a miscarriage she suffered as a teen.

“The reason I said is because I’ve always had this very tomboy, very strong gymnast body, but actually at 17 I had a miscarriage,” Pink told the outlet. “And I was going to have that child.”

Want all the latest pregnancy and birth announcements, plus celebrity mom blogs? Click here to get those and more in the PEOPLE Parents newsletter.

“But when that happens to a woman or a young girl, you feel like your body hates you and like your body is broken, and it’s not doing what it’s supposed to do,” she continued.

Pink has had a number of miscarriages since and said she writes these songs as a way to deal with the “painful” experiences.

“I’ve had several miscarriages since, so I think it’s important to talk about what you’re ashamed of, who you really are and the painful s—. I’ve always written that way.”

Part of the reason why Pink has been able to speak so honestly in her songs is due to the fact that the singer regularly attends therapy, which she said helps her find her “blind spots” despite being “uncomfortable and painful.”

“I believe in self-confrontation and just getting things out. What I love about therapy is that they’ll tell you what your blind spots are,” she shared. “Although that’s uncomfortable and painful, it gives you something to work with.”

She also added to USA Today that having a “healthy sense of humor,” especially when things go bad, has helped her move forward and remain candid in her music.

This is not the first time that the Grammy winner has opened up about the importance of therapy in her life.

On Friday, the star revealed to Today that she and her husband Carey Hart have been in therapy for nearly their entire relationship.

Earlier this year, the pair — who share daughter Willow Sage, 7½, and son Jameson Moon, 2 — celebrated their 13th wedding anniversary. But Pink and Hart, 43, have weathered their fair share of public drama. In 2008, they announced their separation — which fueled her emotional breakup album Funhouse — but they reconciled the following year.

The “Walk Me Home” singer credits counseling with saving her marriage.

“It’s the only reason we’re still together. He speaks Polish, I speak Italian, and she speaks both. We don’t speak the same language,” she said.

“We come from broken families, and we had no model for: How are we supposed to keep this family together and live this crazy life? And there’s no book that says, ‘Here’s how to do this.’ So we go to counseling, and it works.”

In addition to working at her marriage, Pink opened up about the importance of discussing mental health.

“I’m hopeful that the taboo of it is all going away, because more and more people are talking about it,” she said. “I think talking about it is the most important thing and I know that anxiety is like, the number one thing that kids now are going through.”

Pink, who has been open about her own struggles with depression and anxiety, added: “For my generation, I feel like it was depression and suicide, and suicide is super prevalent still, but now it’s like it comes from a place of anxiety.”

“And I get that, I fully understand that and I’ve been depressed, I have anxiety,” she continued. “I over-think everything. But what I do is I keep the right people around me, and I go to therapy.”

Norwegian Fishermen Find Whale Wearing Harness, Prompting Concern It Is a Russian Military Spy

A group of Norwegian fishermen were left with more questions than answers after repeatedly being approached by a whale they believed to be a Russian spy.

While fishing off the coast of Ingoya — a small Norwegian village — last week, Joar Hesten told a local television station that a large white beluga whale swam up to his crew’s boat, wearing a harness around its body.

The whale had been following the boat for some time, tugging on loose straps hanging from the ship.

“It came over to us, and as it approached, we saw that it had some sort of harness on it,” Hesten told broadcaster NRK, the New York Post reported.

Attached to the harness was a GoPro camera mount with a label, tracking it to St. Petersburg, the New York Post reported.

The harness was later removed by one of the fishermen and shown to a Russian scientist, who explained it was not equipment scientist would use, prompting concern the whale is a spy, BBC reported.

Russia has a naval base in the area where the fishermen were when the whale approached their boat, according to BBC.

Marine biologist Professor Audun Rikardsen told BBC the harness “was attached really tight around its head, in front of its pectoral find and it had clips.”

There was no camera.

“A Russian colleague said they don’t do such experiments, but she knows the navy has caught belugas for some years and trained them — most likely it’s related to that,” Rikardsen explained to BBC.

Martin Biuw of the Institute of Marine Research in Norway also spoke on the discovery saying, “If this whale comes from Russia — and there is great reason to believe it — then it is not Russian scientist, but rather the navy that has done this,” the New York Post reported.

The Russian navy has since denied that the whale was being used to spy on anyone, explaining in a statement to a Russian broadcaster, “We have military dolphins for combat roles, we don’t cover that up,” BBC reported.

“If we were using this animal for spying do you really think we’d attach a mobile number with the message ‘please call this number?'”

The use of marine animals for military purposes isn’t new.

Since 1959, the U.S. Navy has trained bottlenose dolphins and California sea lions “to detect, locate, mark and recover objects in harbors, coastal areas, and at depth in the open sea” under the U.S. Navy Marine Mammal Program.

Florida Man Contracts Rare Flesh-Eating Bacteria After Fish Hook Gets Stuck in His Hand

A Florida man who contracted a rare flesh-eating bacteria from a fish hook is sharing his story in hopes to prevent someone else from suffering a similar experience.

During a recent fishing trip in the Gulf, Mike Walton accidentally impaled his hand with a fish hook, Bay News 9 reports.

What the fisherman believed was a minor injury turned into a life-threatening illness that kept him in the hospital for nearly two weeks, leaving doctors searching for answers.

Since the incident, Walton has been released from the hospital but is now hoping that his story will encourage other fishermen to use precaution with any fishing-related injuries.

On the weekend of April 13, Walton was fishing with some friends when the fish hook got stuck in his hand, according to the GoFundMe campaign, which was set up to help Walton in the aftermath of the incident.

Because the Ozona native had experienced similar cuts before, he carried on with his trip, thinking nothing of the minor injury, Bay News 9 reports.

The next day, however, things turned serious when Walton noticed that his hand had gotten drastically worse.

A trip to Urgent Care and antibiotic prescriptions didn’t make his condition any better, as the blistering, bruising, swelling, and black-colored skin started spreading towards his thumb, according to the news outlet.

It was then that the fisherman opted to go to Tampa General Hospital where doctors determined that Walton had contracted an extremely rare, life-threatening, flesh-eating bacteria that spread from his hand into his arm.

Luckily, it was discovered just in time, as doctors told the Florida resident that if he had waited any longer, there was a chance he could have lost his arm — or worse, according to the GoFundMe page.

“They said in a few hours, this would have gone up my arm into my chest and I wouldn’t have been here,” he told Fox News. “There was no saving me.”

“This is a very rare bacteria that has only ffected 30 people historically in a state of Florida,” the GoFundMe campaign reads, noting that after doctors opened and cleaned his hand and arm’s tissue, they weren’t sure if it’d be salvageable or maintain its original functionality.

Walton immediately underwent surgery and to his relief, doctors were able to save his arm and hand.

“When I woke up, you talk about relief, is when you look over and see your thumb still sitting there,” he told Bay News 9.

Walton is now home recovering and once he’s healed, looks forward to participating in his next fishing event, which is the Ozona Annual Inshore Fishing Tournament on June 8, according to Bay News 9.

He also hopes that by sharing his story, other fishermen will be more careful while on the water by wearing gloves and cleaning any cuts immediately after they occur, the outlet reports.

In the meantime, his friends and family are asking for donations on GoFundMe to help Walton with medical and recovery expenses, as he is the sole provider for his family and will be out of work for some time.

“Mike has always been a huge part of this fishing community,” the page reads. “Fishing in local water all his life, he would never imagine something like this striking him and his family.”

Since its creation on April 16, the campaign has raised over $19,000 — a gesture that has not gone unnoticed by Walton.

“The way that everyone’s come together, it just floors me,” he told Bay News 9. “It makes you humble.”

Has Woodstock 50 Has Been Canceled? Investors Pull Support While Event Organizers Vow to Press On

The status of Woodstock 50, the star-studded festival announced last month to mark the semi-centennial of the generation-defining 1969 musical gathering, is up in the air as event investors and organizers issued differing statements Monday.

Dentsu Aegis Network, who were financing the festival, cited production concerns in a statement to Billboard, and fears that the site at Watkins Glen International in upstate New York would not be ready to safely accommodate the 100,000 expected to attend between Friday, Aug. 16 and Sunday, Aug. 18.

“It’s a dream for agencies to work with iconic brands and to be associated with meaningful movements. We have a strong history of producing experiences that bring people together around common interests and causes which is why we chose to be a part of the Woodstock 50th Anniversary Festival,” the statement began. “But despite our tremendous investment of time, effort and commitment, we don’t believe the production of the festival can be executed as an event worthy of the Woodstock Brand name while also ensuring the health and safety of the artists, partners and attendees.”

RELATED: Woodstock 50: Everything to Know About the 50th Anniversary Celebration of the Legendary Festival

The statement continues: “As a result and after careful consideration, Dentsu Aegis Network’s Amplifi Live, a partner of Woodstock 50, has decided to cancel the festival.  As difficult as it is, we believe this is the most prudent decision for all parties involved.”

However, the publicity firm backing original festival organizer Michael Lang denies that the event is canceled.

“We are committed to ensuring that the 50th Anniversary of Woodstock is marked with a festival deserving of its iconic name and place in American history and culture. Although our financial partner is withdrawing, we will of course be continuing with the planning of the festival and intend to bring on new partners,” the told PEOPLE in a statement Monday evening. “We would like to acknowledge the State of New York and Schuyler County for all of their hard work and support. The bottom line is, there is going to be a Woodstock 50th Anniversary Festival, as there must be, and it’s going to be a blast.”

Headliners were to include Miley CyrusJAY-Z, the Killers, the Black Keys and Chance the Rapper, as well as Woodstock ’69 veterans Santana and Grateful Dead offshoot Dead & Company featuring John Mayer. Tickets had not yet gone on sale for the event — on April 19 it was announced that ticket sales would be postponed.

Representatives for Dentsu Aegis Network have yet to respond to PEOPLE’s request for comment.

Ironically, the 1969 incarnation of Woodstock was filled with logistical headaches that nearly doomed the event before it began. Just a month before the show was due to take place, town officials barred the festival from its original site in Wallkill, New York, leaving Lang and his organizers scrambling to find a suitable replacement.

Dairy farmer Max Yasgur’s allowed his dairy farm in nearby Bethel to serve as the new site, but the venue change left little time for construction. Without the resources to construct both a stage and a fence, the producers declared Woodstock a free festival.

Shannon Beador Awarded $1.4 Million in Divorce Settlement, $10,000 in Monthly Support from David

Days after Shannon Beador and her estranged husband David Beador reached a divorce settlement, details of the pair’s financial agreement have been revealed.

Nearly a year-and-half after Shannon, 55, filed for divorce from David in in December 2017, their divorce judgment was filed in Orange County Superior Court on Thursday, April 25, according to court documents obtained by The Blast.

Reps for both Shannon and David did not respond to PEOPLE’s request for comment.

David has agreed to pay Shannon $1.4 million “to equalize the division of community property as set forth herein,” the documents state.

The duo, who are parents to Sophie, 17, and 14-year-old twins Stella and Adeline, have agreed to joint legal and physical custody of their daughters.

“The parties shall communicate with one another to ensure the children are appropriately cared for at all times. The parties shall cooperate to promote healthy parent-child relationships between each party and each of the children, and neither party shall make derogatory remarks about the other in the presence of the children,” the documents state.

Additionally, as a part of their agreement, David will pay the Real Housewives of Orange County star a total of $10,000 monthly in support.

“By way of illustration, the monthly child support effective May 1, 2019 shall be $2,935, and therefore Respondent shall pay Petitioner $7,065 per month in spousal support — making the combined support payment $10,000,” the documents state. “It is the parties’ bargained-for agreement for this stipulated order that Respondent shall pay Petitioner $10,000 per month in combined child and spousal support for ten (10) years, and no more and no less than the $10,000 per month in combined child and spousal support.”

The documents continue: “Respondent shall pay Petitioner, as and for non-modifiable, nontaxable, non-deductible spousal support, the sum of $10,000 less the amount of any monthly child support then in effect, payable on the first day of each month, commencing May 1, 2019 and continuing thereafter on the first day of each month until the last payment on April 1, 2029, and after such payment, spousal support shall terminate forever.”

David will also “maintain health insurance coverage for the supported children,” the documents state.

Among the things she will maintain, Shannon will keep a 2015 Cadillac Escalade; a leased 2018 BMW7 Series sedan; her bank accounts; and household furniture and furnishings currently in her possession, the documents state. David will keep a property near Corona, California; the Beador Construction Company; a 1998 Ford Expedition; a 2008 Ford Explorer; a 2011 Land Rover Range Rover SC; a 2017 BMW X3; a 2018 Ford Raptor Truck; a leased 2018 Porsche Carrera Turbo Cabriolet; a 2019 Mercedes-Benz G-Class SUV; and household furniture and furnishings presently in his possession, the documents state.

Shannon and David will be officially restored to the status of single persons on July 1, according to the documents.

They split in September 2017 after over 17 years of marriage and she filed to end their marriage in December 2017.

Their relationship had many ups and downs, as documented throughout Shannon’s time on RHOC. In season 10, she revealed that David was unfaithful to her in an affair she learned about days before filming began. The couple then spent time repairing their marriage through therapy and open dialogue with their family.

Although they appeared to be on track for the better, with David even surprising Shannon with a vow renewal ceremony at the Inn at Rancho Santa Fe — the location where they originally said their “I dos” and where David had proposed to Shannon on her birthday — David began getting distant thereafter, according to Shannon. As she said on the show, he often chose to hit the gym rather than spend time with Shannon and the kids.

Adding to the problem was that Shannon had been battling a 40-lb. weight gain, which occurred over a year of emotional stress-eating following false allegations made by Vicki Gunvalson that David “beat the s—” out of Shannon. The weight allegedly “disgusted” David and created a wedge in her marriage.

Months before Shannon separated from her estranged husband — he asked for the separation, according to Shannon — David had allegedly “checked out” of their marriage. “The truth about the state of my marriage is that it’s not good,” Shannon said on RHOC. “I just want to know how David feels because living in this limbo, it’s kind of a form of torture. I just want to know.”

“David’s checked out,” she continued. “There’s no doubt, my husband is checked out. If you’re done with me, then say it and go.”

In March, Shannon won joint legal and physical custody of the girls and $22,500 per month for child and spousal support, according to documents obtained by PEOPLE. David had reportedly been trying to negotiate less since then.

Last week, the parents of three presented their settlement agreement in front of an Orange County judge. The former couple spent three days in negotiations sorting out the finances around their custody battle before submitting the settlement.

Although reps for both stars did not respond to PEOPLE’s request for comment at the time, a source close to Shannon told PEOPLE that the reality star was “relieved” to have the vicious battled behind them.

Teen Mom 2's Leah Messer Opens Up About 'Toxic' Relationship with Ex-Boyfriend Jason Jordan

Leah Messer is opening up about why she called it quits with Jason Jordan.

On Monday night’s episode of Teen Mom 2, Messer, 27, discussed the breakup with MTV producer Brendan and admitted the relationship “just wasn’t right.”

“My kids weren’t feeling it anymore either, not that they can determine who I’m going to be with, but they were picking up on the energy and it wasn’t okay,” Messer said.

She is mom to three daughters: 9-year-old twins Aliannah and Aleeah with ex Corey Simms, and 6-year-old Adalynn with ex-husband Jeremy Calvert.

When Messer noted that audiences didn’t get to see what really went on behind the scenes, Brendan asked, “So he’s always on our best behavior when we’re around? Is that the deal?”

Messer said yes, adding, “We’ve had a lot of disagreements lately on parenting. He gets openly angry, he doesn’t hit or anything, he just gets upset and takes it out on everyone.”

The MTV star also felt like “there was always an expectation that I could never meet.”

“What I did wasn’t ever enough. It didn’t matter. I could get up, make breakfast, do this and that, have all the kids ready and I felt like it wasn’t enough,” she said, adding the two had gotten in an argument after Jordan left her dog in his garage during cold weather.

“When he told me to go home and take my dog I thought, ‘That’s it. Why do I keep pushing for something that’s not right?’ ” Messer said. “He wanted to try to work on it but I was like, ‘I think this is just toxic, I don’t think this is good.’ That’s okay to accept. To me, that’s healthy dating.”

“I really felt like I was in such a great place. I was ready to put my all in a relationship, it just wasn’t the right person,” she said.

Jordan was unable to be reached for comment by PEOPLE.

Messer confirmed the breakup to PEOPLE earlier this month, saying it was “nice” to have his support with her daughters while their relationship lasted.

“We actually broke up,” Messer said. “I’m perfectly okay with it. Everything happens for a reason.”

She added, “I think just kind of going with the flow. just wasn’t right and that’s perfectly okay.”

As for how she broke the news to her kids, Messer said it was her youngest daughter who made the split known to her twins.

“Addie totally blurted it out. Addie totally ratted me out,” Messer said. “We actually filmed it because Addie was, she’s like, ‘Oh, my gosh, mommy and Jason broke up,’ because he had come over and Addie’s there and the girls were like, ‘What? I want to know what happened.’ ”

She said the breakup was “very” amicable.

This Influencer FAKED Her Entire Coachella Trip!

Didn’t go to Coachella? Don’t worry because Gabbie Hanna didn’t either!

In a video posted last week, the influencer — who has more than 6.5 million subscribers on YouTube and 3.8 million followers on Instagram — revealed she did NOT attend the second weekend of the hip music festival despite posting pics and clips that suggested otherwise.

Related: Kanye West May Start His Own Church After Coachella Sunday Service!

In fact, she FAKED the entire thing!

The social media star dished in the clip:

“If you’ve paid close attention to me throughout the past couple or few years, you know that I am not Coachella’s biggest advocate. Now here’s the thing, I don’t have anything against Coachella per se. In fact, as an artist, it would be an absolute dream to be on the lineup at Coachella. But to me, a socially awkward, socially anxious introverted hermit—the idea of going into the desert for three days in very, very hot heat and then very, very cold nights in the dust and the dirt without access to healthy food or reasonably priced alcohol or showers that is not walking distance away from your hotel or even an Uber to get [to] your hotel. I don’t know… All of it just seems like a lot of work for me, personally. I’m a homebody, or as other people like to call it, lazy. But yea, it’s just not for me.”

Hanna also said “there’s a lot of people that go to Coachella who do not enjoy the experience,” and only attend for social media content.

In order to pull off her prank, Gabbie used her friend Sydney‘s home in Marina Del Rey, California as her “AirBnB,”  created a fake version of the Coachella artist wristband, and received assistance from photographers who helped her Photoshop the fabricated festival snaps.

Hanna added:

“I can pull this off because I know people who go to Coachella weekend one and bring twice as many outfits and double up on their outfit each day so that they can pretend like they’re at Coachella weekend two, but they’re not. They’re at home. Social media is a lie. So what I’m doing isn’t that far from reality anyways.”

Even though she did not make the trek to Indio, California, Gabbie admitted that the prank required more energy, stress, and time than her week-long trip to India.

As of this writing, Hanna’s video/experiment has over 3 MILLION views!

Whining Man Babies Are Calling Arya Stark A ‘Mary Sue’ On Twitter — And Getting SCHOOLED!

You may have noticed Mary Sue was trending on Twitter Monday, and you probably know what that means:

Yep. Sexism.

Jason Momoa Snl GIF by Saturday Night Live - Find & Share on GIPHY

Unfortunately, the very small but obdurately loud faction of whining man babies are back, this time attacking Game Of Thrones.

[So, Spoiler Alert]

If you’ve chosen to continue past the Spoiler Alert (and this is your last chance), you already know Sunday’s episode ended with the Night King being defeated not in a one-on-one sword fight with Jon Snow, as many expected.

Instead it was his little sister Arya Stark who used her assassin skills to catch the powerful villain by surprise and merc him with her Valyrian steel dagger.

If you were surprised, don’t feel bad; it was exactly what the show’s creators intended. They set up all the pieces — the skills, the weapon, the target — but quietly and over a long time, all the while purposely trying to mislead the audience.

Related: Maisie Williams’ Boyfriend Thought Fans Wouldn’t Like Her Big Moment

Most fans were caught off guard — then immediately rejoiced as one of their heroes saved the day, leading to the triumph of good which on this show never felt like a guarantee.

But there are a few people who have a problem with Arya being the one to get the killing blow, and they’re desperately trying to tell you it was a “Mary Sue” moment.

Stop Saying Words Shut Up GIF by Leroy Patterson - Find & Share on GIPHY

Just to explain for a moment:

A “Mary Sue” (or its male counterpart “Gary Stu”) is a character in fan fiction created by the author as a stand-in for themselves. The new character, inserted into the already existing material, is perfect and flawless and good at everything and makes all the right decisions and, in certain types of fan fic, has sex with everyone.

The term first went viral when it was applied to Rey after Star Wars: The Force Awakens. Some fans argued the term applied because she was a new character added to a known universe — one who was exceptionally good at fighting, flying, mechanical engineering, etc.

Square Up Daisy Ridley GIF - Find & Share on GIPHY

We’d argue she isn’t — we’re talking about a universe with something called The Force which allows you to basically perform magic, and she’s expressly referred to as being strong in it. And it’s in line with other protagonists in the series.

After that there isn’t any discussion.

Because what “Mary Sue” became was shorthand for misogynists to complain when a female character is strong or talented or basically anything other than generic “girlfriend.”

Baby Driver GIF - Find & Share on GIPHY

Luckily in the case of Arya, the response of Game Of Thrones fans angry at the terminology has basically drowned out the sexism.

Female-skewed geek website TheMarySue.com perhaps said it best, remarking on the occurrence:

“Glad to see that we are trending on Twitter! We here at the Mary Sue are so happy you’re reading us and that this has nothing to do with men diminishing the importance of a female character who trained for something through over 7 seasons of a television show.”

Yes!!!

Arya is an assassin.She’s good at what they needed in that moment: picking a target and killing it.

She isn’t good at everything. She isn’t perfect. Even in the course of the episode she has to be helped out numerous times to survive to the position to make her attack.

You know what? Why are we even defending her? Eff that.

Arya is the GOAT, and anyone reading this knows it. Mic drop. (Er, knife drop.)

David LaChapelle, Longtime Britney Spears Collaborator, Speaks Out About Things Being ‘Off’ Amid The Pop Star’s Wellness Struggles

A Trial Is Lori Loughlin’s ‘Only Chance Of Avoiding Jail’ — Actress Reportedly Has ‘Evidence’ Supporting Her Ignorance Claims!

Lori Loughlin is ready to redeem herself!

According to a source close to the embattled actress and husband Mossimo Giannulli, the couple want to face trial in the college admissions bribery scandal because they think it’s the only way to save their reputations.

Related: Lori’s Daughter Olivia Jade ‘Still Wants To Rebuild Her Business’!

The insider explained to People:

“Lori feels like so much damage has been done publicly that the only way for her to counter it is to fight this case in court. She feels like once all the evidence is presented, that people will understand how things happened.”

Yep. Loughlin reportedly wants a chance to tell the court *her* side of the story — which, based on what we’ve heard, is that she didn’t think they were doing anything illegal when the couple allegedly paid $500,000 to admissions consultant William “Rick” Singer and his nonprofit organization, Key Worldwide Foundation, to facilitate their daughters’ admission to USC.

Prosecutors, of course, think otherwise.

The Fuller House actress and 55-year-old fashion designer are facing up to 40 years in prison for charges of mail fraud and money laundering conspiracy. Before they were slapped with the additional money laundering charges, the couple, who entered formal pleas of not guilty on Monday, turned down a plea deal that could have drastically reduced their sentences.

While entering a plea deal at this stage isn’t entirely out of the question, Loughlin apparently isn’t interested in any option that would put her behind bars — so the only choice the couple has is to go to trial. The source continued:

“She doesn’t want to spend time in jail, but she knows that any sort of plea or conviction at this point will include jail time. Her only chance of avoiding jail is to go to court and be found not guilty.”

Wow! Aunt Becky likes to live dangerously… in case you didn’t already put that together by now.

Despite the overwhelming reported evidence against them, including recorded phone calls in which both Loughlin and Giannulli allegedly admit their part of the crime, the couple apparently believe they have evidence that will eventually exonerate them.

That evidence, according to the source, supports the case that Loughlin “didn’t understand exactly what she was doing” while allegedly participating in the scheme, explaining:

“Everyone has seen snippets of the evidence, but there’s a lot more out there. When you look at it in context, you can argue that this is a woman who didn’t understand exactly what she was doing — and she was being counseled and guided by a man who this was his area of expertise. When the evidence comes out, she’ll have a case to make… At this point, if she pleads guilty, she feels like the mitigating evidence will never see the light of day.”

So, she’s actually attempting to paint herself as the innocent victim in all this? LOL… good luck with that, Becky.

A trial date has not yet been set, but it can’t come soon enough. Mostly just because we’re curious to see what “evidence” the actress could possibly have up her sleeve!
