Louis Tomlinson Breaks Silence on Sister’s Tragic Death

Louis Tomlinson has opened up for the first time since losing his beloved sister, Félicité. As previously reported, the 18-year old collapsed suddenly in mid-March and died of an apparent heart attack . The former One Direction member did not speak up initially after his sibling passed away, with sources saying the singer was simply inconsolable over this shocking and sad development. On Wednesday morning, however, about a month after this family tragedy, Tomlinson wrote a message on Twitter that reads as follows: “Just wanted to thank everyone for their lovely words over the past couple of weeks. Back in the studio today to vocal something I wrote a few months ago. Sending you all loads of love x.” Félicité made her living as a model and social media influencer. She died of a suspected heart attack at her apartment in London on March 13. The Metropolitan Police Service told E! News that local authorities were called by London Ambulance Service to a residential address following reports of a female in cardiac arrest. By the time paramedics arrived, however, it was too late — Félicité was announced dead at the scene. Her final Instagram post featured a photo with her brother and sisters Lottie, 20, and twins Daisy and Phoebe, 14. It was shared in December of 2018. “Family,” she captioned the snapshot, along with a heart emoji. By all accounts, Louis was very close to his late sister. The loved ones would hang out any time the artist was in London. Félicité’s death also came just over two years after her and Louis’ mom, Johannah Deakin, passed away after a lengthy battle with leukemia.  In early March, just before losing his sister, the 27-year-old One Direction star released an emotional new track about his mother’s death titled “Two of Us. “You’ll never know how much I miss you/The day that they took you, I wish it was me instead,” Tomlinson sings on the track, adding: “But you once told me don’t give up/You can do it day by day/And diamonds they don’t turn to dust or fade away.” Just so sad all around. “Johannah was first and foremost a truly amazing mother to seven children, whose individual talents and success are testament to the principles and beliefs she instilled in them,” her husband, Dan Deakin, told Us Weekly in a statement shortly after his wife died. As for Félicité, her passing prompted an outpouring of love and support for the Tomlinson family from various celebrities around the world. “Such incredibly sad news today,” James Corden Tweeted last month. “You’re not on your own in this @Louis_Tomlinson So many people are pulling for you and your family right now x.” “Prayers to Louis Tomlinson,” Charlie Puth echoed. “I can’t imagine how hard it is right now. Love to you brother I’m so sorry and my prayers are with you.” We continue to keep the singer and his relatives in our thoughts.

If those fans thought the R&B singer was going to talk up her divorce on T.I. & Tiny: Friends & Family Hustle , they have another thing coming according to sources. TMZ reports : Sources close to production on “T.I. & Tiny: Friends & Family Hustle” tell TMZ … Monica is refusing to talk about calling it quits on her marriage, and she won’t even mention her ex-husband’s name. We’re told Monica’s decision to stay mum is frustrating the people tasked with crafting an interesting storyline for the singer … and she’s just not cooperating with producers begging for her to open up about her relationship with Shannon. The trailer for the reality show’s upcoming season makes it seem like Monica’s an open book when it comes to her divorce … but we’re told that couldn’t be further from the truth. In the trailer, she says she never imagined being a single mother in her 30s — but that’s all you’re gonna get outta her. Monica and Shannon Brown were married for eight years. — Photo: Getty

Earl Thomas Conley Dies; Country Singer, Blake Shelton’s "Hero" Was 77

Sad news out of the world of country music today, as multiple sources have confirmed that beloved artist Earl Thomas Conley has passed away. He was 77 years old. Best known for such 1980s hits as “Holding Her and Loving You,” “What I’d Say” and “Once In a Blue Moon,” Conley reportedly died in Nashville on Wednesday morning. The singer’s passing was announced by his longtime friend and frequent collaborator, Blake Shelton. “My heart is absolutely destroyed today,” Shelton wrote on his social media accounts. “I’m sad to report that Earl Thomas Conley passed away very early this morning.” Shelton and Conley had been friends for over 20 years. The duo worked together writing Blake’s “All Over Me” along with Michael Pyle. “Earl was my all time favorite singer, hero and my friend. Prayers to his family,” Shelton continued. “We will all miss you deeply my brother. Now go rest…” Conley had been in hospice care for several months and had been suffering from a degenerative condition described as being “similar to dementia” for several years. Speaking with The Tennessean , Earl’s brother, Fred Conley, stated that the singer’s death had been a slow and heartbreaking process. “He just kept losing ground,” Fred stated. “I’m brokenhearted.” Earl’s 22-year-old daughter Erinn Scates, who is also a musician, sang her father’s praises to the newspaper: “He was a great dad, and he filled our lives with color,” she said. Shortly after signing with Warner Bros. in 1980, Conley recorded his first hit, “Dreamin’s All I Do,” which quickly reached the Billboard Top 40. From there, Conley produced several more hits and racked up multiple Grammy nominations. Over the course of his career, Conley recorded 10 albums over 30 of his singles listed on Billboard’s Hot Country Songs. While Shelton may have been his closest friend in the industry, several other country music A-listers have paid tribute to Conley in the hours since his passing. “I am so sad to hear this news. ETC you will be greatly missed,” Trisha Yearwood wrote on social media, “So sad to hear #EarlThomasConley passed away today,” wrote John Rich of Big & Rich. “He was a huge influence on my style and songwriting. I studied his records like textbooks and could play every note of every song. Truly one of the all time greats in country music.” The sentiment was echoed by Jason Aldean, who tweeted: “RIP ‘ETC’… Man what a voice this guy had. Spent many nights listening and playing his songs. Country Music lost a great one today guys. #EarlThomasConley #ETC”  Our thoughts go out to Conley’s loved ones during this difficult time.

Justin Bieber Reveals Exceptionally Cruel April Fools Prank

Justin Bieber tried to celebrate April Fools Day on Monday. But the singer just ended up looking like an offensive fool himself. The artist messed up in a pretty major way. In honor of the annual joke-based holiday that falls on April 1, the global superstar shared a sonogram photo on his Instagram page several hours ago. He didn’t include a caption with the snapshot, but the implication was clear: He and Hailey Baldwin are expecting their first child! How exciting, right? Especially in light of Bieber recently saying he was struggling and in need of prayers and looking for ways to turn his life around. What better way to derive purpose than from being a father, you know? Except it turns out this was all a misguided prank by Bieber, one he wasn’t content to let go even after many on the Internet questioned the validity of the pregnancy claim. Yes, even after Baldwin remarked “very funny” underneath the picture, Justin continued to hammer the pregnancy rumor home. “If U thought it was April fools,” he wrote as a caption to an image of Baldwin at the doctor (below), seemingly having her womb and impending baby checked. The pop star did later confess the original sonogram was fake, adding another sonogram of a puppy and writing: “Wait omg is that a,,, APRIL FOOLS.” But the damage had already been done. It’s fine to joke about Donald Trump sleeping with Kim Kardashian . Or Jenelle Evans losing her home because it sank into the ground. Those are victimless references that are pretty clearly not serious from the moment you read the headline. But one in four women have suffered the painful tragedy of a miscarriage. Countless others have difficulty getting pregnant, spending thousands upon thousands of dollars on fertility treatments and still, very often, not having success. In other words: This is an extremely sensitive and personal issue for so many families. It’s really not a joking matter. At all. And many social media users jumped all over Bieber for turning it into one. “Can’t only be me who thinks it’s bloody disgusting that Justin and Hailey Bieber lied about being pregnant????” one Twitter user wrote, while another added: “Every single year, someone does this prank [and] we call them out for being s–t, yet because it’s a huge celeb we’re just gonna let it slide [and] laugh????” No. We’re not. We’re gonna call Justin out for it, too Not only is it insensitive and inappropriate, it’s simply unoriginal. Just days before he made this terrible quip, Bieber actually opened up about his mental health struggles, earning sympathy from his legion of fans around the world. “I am now very focused on repairing some of the deep-rooted issues that I have as most of us have, so that I don’t fall apart, so that I can sustain my marriage and be the father I want to be,” he wrote on March 25, referencing a future child and adding of why he won’t be touring any time soon: “Music is very important to me but nothing comes before my family and my health.” We still wish you a lot of luck, JB. But be better in the future.

Devi Lovato Destroys Body Shamer, Stands Up for Women Everywhere

Devi Lovato is not about to let a bunch of strangers bring her down. But she is about to stand up for others who have been in her situation, or may be there at some point in the future. Allow us to explain… Earlier this week, The Inquisitr ran a story with a headline that reads as follows “Demi Lovato Appears To Have A Fuller Figure After Working Up A Sweat In LA.” As someone accustomed to being body-shamed and someone who has battled self-confidence and mental health issues over the years, Lovato reacted very strongly to this phrasing. In an impressive sign of growth, however, she didn’t respond with personal pain or animosity to the story. Instead, she took a much broader approach to the sensitive topic. “I AM MORE THAN MY WEIGHT,” the 26-year old clapped back initially on Instagram, prior to delving into futher detail. “Unlike the past, I’m not triggered, I’m not upset that someone wrote a headline about my ‘fuller figure,'” she continued. This is how Lovato then took the long view and spoke out for basically every other woman on the planet: “I’m angry that people think it’s okay to write headlines about people’s body shapes. Especially a woman who has been so open about being in recovery from an eating disorder. “I’m not upset for myself but for anyone easily influenced by the diet culture.” On an inspiring roll, Lovato concluded as follows… Too many people today base their ideal body weight off of what OTHERS tell us we should look like or weigh. Articles like these only contribute to that toxic way of thinking. If you’re reading this: Don’t listen to negative diet culture talk. You are more than a number on a scale and I am more than a headline about my body shape. As the singer mentions above, and as she has talked about often in the past, Lovato suffered from an eating disorder as a teenager. Such self-esteem issues contributed to her well-documented drug addiction, which landed the artist back in rehab this fall after she nearly died from an overdose . So Demi is someone who speaks from experience. She’s been there. She knows what it’s like to be criticized by strangers and to feel self-conscious about one’s appearance. In this case, thankfully, her Instagram post was head loudly and clearly, too. The report’s writer, actually got in touch with the star via Instagram messages to apologize for his offensive headline. “I thank you for your apology,” she wrote back, adding: “Maybe you can write an article about this experience. Taking it down won’t take away what’s already up there. “Unfortunately, I had to use this is an example to make a statement about these types of headlines how damaging it is not [only] for me but the readers.” “You’re an incredible talent and you’re right, your body is not all you are,” the author replied. “This is a lesson learnt.” With the headline problem tackled, “now my fuller ass is going to sleep,” the star later joked, concluding: “Goodnight guys..I love you so much. Don’t forget to tell yourself how beautiful and worthy you are of a happy and healthy life.” Fantastic stuff on both sides here. We continue to wish Lovato the best of luck.

In White Folks News: Justin Bieber Is Blamed For Environmental Destruction In Iceland

Source: Hindustan Times / Getty Well Damn One could probably blame Justin Bieber for a lot of things. Bizarre, yet entertaining antics ? Yes. Pop songs you can’t get out of your head? Maaaybe. But environmental destruction? Who would’ve thought. This is what one Iceland community is claiming after the Biebs shot his music video in the country. According to Page Six , Bieber filmed his 2015 video “I’ll Show You”  at the 2-million-year-old epic canyon Fjaðrárgljúfur. Now, ever since Bieber showcased the beautiful grounds, the area has been flooded with visitors, causing destruction of the canyon’s sheer walls, its narrow pathways and its vegetation. Things apparently got so bad the Icelandic Environmental Agency had to close it down. IEA official Daníel Freyr Jónsson said, “This canyon was somewhat unknown… The great increase in foot traffic began after Bieber came.” Oops. Guess it’s too late to say sorry. You can watch the frolicking video that eventually wreaked havoc on the lands below.
