Insta Creep: Love Island’s Megan Is Having A Bad Time Post-Split, While Wes Is Joking About The Do Bits Society…
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.
Megan Barton-Hanson is having a hard time dealing with her breakup with Wes… while he is cracking Do Bits Society jokes.
The pair announced their split over the weekend, with Megan copying Gwyneth Paltrow’s ‘conscious uncoupling’ statement word-for-word on her Instagram Story (with a hamster replacing any talk of kids throughout).
Though the announcement was very tongue-in-cheek, last night she got sincere about how she was feeling: “Hands down been one of the worst days of my life. I can’t thank you all enough for the support.”
It makes it all worthwhile (the endless trolling, negative stories, dealing with publicly breaking up, being papped, having to force a smile when my whole world is crumbling). Feels like I can’t put a foot right BUT knowing I can motivate/inspire people even a TINY bit makes me want to continue in the public eye.
She also got a bit emosh over a chopping board with their names carved on it, saying her mum got it for them for Christmas (and implying she was going to scrape his name off it with a knife).
Meanwhile, Wes made reference to his Do Bits Society, using an Instagram post from the Dublin Business School (AKA DBS).
Truly two perfect examples of how men and women deal with breakups. Give him a few weeks.

Hi, you absolutely need to see this video of Jake Gyllenhaal correcting his director’s pronunciation of ‘melancholy’.
Dan Gilroy wrote and directed the new Netflix film Velvet Buzzsaw, which stars Jake – but don’t think for a second that’s going to stop Jake from publicly reminding him how to pronounce stuff.

Oh my god. His face when he realises Dan is going to mispronounce ‘melancholy’ AGAIN:
“That is not the first time today.” What a sassmonster.

A wannabe popstar got a tattoo of Harry Styles on her face because… attention?
Kelsy Karter is a 24-year-old singer who hails from New Zealand, but relocated to Los Angeles to pursue a career in music. She’s previously spoken about her love for Harry, telling a magazine that she wants to work with him:
I just want his career. I feel like I’m a female version. I actually moved to America to act, and music became my main thing. Rock ‘n’ roll is my passion. I really want to work with him. Let’s work, Harry. Where you at?
So yeah, this is one way to get him to notice you.

Kelsy followed up the tattoo reveal with a video for her new single, called Harry… so perhaps we can conclude that this was a genius stunt. Go off, Kelsy.
And now it’s time for… #SponConCorner

Milk! Busy Philipps is doing an #ad for milk. Lots of people are angry at this for various reasons we don’t quite understand (the American dairy farming industry isn’t great, apparently? And lots of people are lactose intolerant and thus offended by milk?) but it’s OK because there’s a competition to win a year’s supply of milk by sharing your fave ‘milk moments’. Milk moments! Ah, we just love #sponcon.
