Insta Creep: Love Island’s Adam Brought A Pal On The Fancy Holiday He Got Ex Zara For Christmas…
What all the celebs are up to on social, from A to Z listers.
In our gossip column, we indulge our nosiest desires and delve deep into what the celebs (and ‘celebs’) are doing on social media. Who’s tweeting and deleting? Who’s shady faving? Let’s find out.

Love Island’s Adam Collard is off gallivanting in the Maldives… on a holiday he bought ex Zara McDermott for Christmas.
Adam and Zara split up a few weeks ago (the last in a rash of Love Island breakups) after he was caught cavorting with other women on a night out. She called him out over text, and he responded ending things because their relationship ‘wasn’t working’. Nice!
Now he’s taking Zara’s Christmas present – a lavish trip to the Maldives – and using it himself, bringing a mate along instead.
According to The Sun, Adam had a change of heart and decided to hang on to the tickets for himself.
“He spent a lot of money on it as a Christmas present to Zara, but he’s going to take a friend instead. Things are still bitter between then, so he thinks it’s best if he’s the one who gets to go away.”
Nightmare breakup situation, right?
Cardi B says Jussie Smollett “f**ked up Black History Month” with the fallout from his purported attack.
In late January, the Empire actor was allegedly attacked in what police were investigating as a hate crime – however, in the past few weeks, there have been reports that Jussie paid two men to stage the assault. He has denied the claims, but it’s clear that a shadow of doubt has been cast over the whole affair.
Cardi B seems to be as confused as the rest of us, saying on her Instagram Story that she was “disappointed” in Jussie if he was lying, but didn’t want to jump to that just yet:
I feel like he f**ked up Black History Month. I’m not gonna say yet until he say it out his mouth that it was fake and this shit was staged – I don’t want to completely blame him. But if he’s not, then bro you f**ked up for real, why would you do that? You ain’t had to do that.

“You gave f**king Donald Trump immunity to f**king laugh and make motherf**kers look bad,” she continued. “I don’t want to blame him… because somebody I was talking to said police in Chicago are racist, so they might try and frame him and make him look like he’s a liar.”
Cardi as usual summing up feelings on the matter. Watch this space…
Kim Kardashian is railing against fashion companies who rip off her designer clothes for cheap. Kim, your brother-in-law just cheated on your sister with your other sister’s best mate! Perspective!
Earlier this month, she shared a photo of a dress designed by Kanye and told brands not to copy it – and guess what, Pretty Little Thing and Missguided had produced a dupe within days.
Now Fashion Nova is selling a version of the (mad) vintage Thierry Mugler dress she wore to an event at the weekend:

“It’s devastating to see these fashion companies rip off designs that have taken the blood, sweat and tears of true designers who have put their all into their own original ideas,” she tweeted.
I’ve watched these companies profit off my husband’s work for years and now that it’s also affecting designers who have been so generous to give me access to their beautiful works, I can no longer sit silent.
Only two days ago, I was privileged enough to wear a one-of-a-kind vintage Mugler dress and in less than 24 hours it was knocked off and thrown up on a site – but it's not for sale. You have to sign up for a waitlist because the dress hasn’t even been made to sell yet.

This is a way to get people to sign up for their mailing list and make people believe there is some kind of relationship between me and this fashion site. There is not.

“My relationships with designers are very important to me. It’s taken me over a decade to build them and I have a huge amount of respect for the amount of work that they put into bringing their ideas to life,” she continued.
So, as always, don’t believe everything you read and see online. I don’t have any relationships with these sites. I’m not leaking my looks to anyone, and I don’t support what these companies are doing.

Taking a quick look at the replies to all the tweets, it doesn’t seem like anyone is having any sympathy for Kim OR the designers. What about ART, guys?
And now it’s time for… #SponConCorner

Please, gaze upon this absolutely miserable Valentine’s #spon from Sofia Richie and Scott Disick and despair. The Kardashians and the Kardashian-adjacent have been working with dessert restaurant The Sugar Factory for years – and here are Sofia and Scott “making Valentine’s Day extra sweet” there, surely for a nice pay packet.
We can feel the love radiating from this picture in waves. Just so warm and lovely.
