Michael Buble Apologizes For Butt-Shaming Photograph

Michael Buble hit a sour note on Instagram yesterday. The singer was on vacation in Miami with his wife when the couple spotted a woman rocking some SERIOUSLY short shorts. We’re talking exposed bottom butt cheeks and everything. So Buble snapped a picture with the lady in the background, shared it online and wrote as a caption: “There was something about this photo lu took ,that seemed worthy of instagram. #myhumps #babygotback #hungryshorts #onlyinmiami #picoftheday #beautifulbum.” Funny? Foul? Most of the Internet went with the latter. Facing accusations of sexism and being referred to as “disgusting” by quite a few Instagram users, Buble went on Facebook today and issued a statement. “Anyone who knows me would never misinterpret the message of the photo my wife took in Miami that seems to have caused unexpected rage by some people.” Buble wrote. “I do not court controversy. But I realize that a photo that was meant to be complimentary and lighthearted has turned into a questionable issue. For the record, it hurts me deeply that anyone would think that I would disrespect women or be insulting to any human being.” The artist went on to say that he regrets if anyone found the picture “offensive” because that wasn’t his intention, concluding: “Women are to be celebrated, loved, respected, honored and revered. I’ve spent my life believing that and will continue to do so.” Buble should stick to bashing Kim Kardashian . He’ll never find anyone (with a brain) to disagree with him on that front.

Instagram Changes Policy, Allows for Breastfeeding Photos

Congratulations, Miley Cyrus ! You’ve won! The nipple has been freed! Kind of. Sort of. Just not exactly in the way you had in mind. While that celebrity and other famous women continue to fight for nudity on social media, Instagram has at least changed a policy that irked many parents across the land: One is now permitted to share breastfeeding photos online. View Slideshow: Celebrity Breastfeeding Pictures According to new Instagram rule, “women actively breastfeeding are allowed” as photo subjects, as are ladies who are showing “photos of post-mastectomy scarring.” The site even now says that “nudity in photos of paintings and sculptures is OK, too.” While Kim Kardashian can’t just go spread eagle on the website still, a statement on Instagram explains the basis for these changes. It reads: “We know that there are times when people might want to share nude images that are artistic or creative in nature.” However, “for a variety of reasons,” the site says it does not allow actual “nudity,” elaborating with what it means: “This includes photos, videos and some digitally-created content that show sexual intercourse, genitals, and close-ups of fully-nude buttocks.” The parent-based changes arrive months after Alyssa Milano, Jaime King, Alanis Morisette, Doutzen Krous and other stars documented their breastfeeding moments for all to see online and complained over backlash to them. “I just think it’s important for women to feel comfortable feeding their babies wherever,” Milano previously told E! News. “If we’re in public, we shouldn’t have to go in the bathroom.” About a year ago, Facebook also altered its Community Standards policy to allow for breastfeeding images, with new mothers such as Olivia Wilde and Gisele Bündchen supporting the move by posting photos of themselves supplying their babies with nutrition.
