Pete Davidson worried fans, loved-ones and the police when he posted a very troubling message on Instagram.

Ariana Grande immediately showed up at the SNL studios on Saturday to support Pete.

The singer tweeted that: “I’m downstairs and I’m not going anywhere if you need anyone or anything.”

However, it has emerged that Pete allegedly refused to see Ariana. 

Sources told TMZ that Pete had asked security to keep Ariana away from him.

Since the incident, Pete deleted his Instagram on Sunday, which lead to the police doing a wellness check.

On the pre-recorded SNL segment, Pete had reassured fans that he was fine before introducing singer Miley Cyrus.

Ariana and the comedian called time on their engagement in October.

Since SNL, reports say that Pete is spending time with friends.

We hope that the comedian is okay and if you're struggling with your mental health, help is a click away.

Kanye West and rapper Drake have been embroiled in a Twitter fued which unfolded this week. 

The musician's beef came out in a series of tweets posted to West's account.

Amid the drama, Ariana Grande came into the picture, sassing the men to put their arguments on hold while she and fellow female musician Miley Cyrus launched their new singles. 

'guys, i know there are grown men arguing online rn but miley and i dropping our beautiful, new songs tonight so if y'all could please jus behave for just like a few hours so the girls can shine that'd be so sick thank u,' she wrote.

At the same time, Ariana Grande's ex-fiancee Pete Davidson made a harrowing public statement about his mental health status. 

'I really don't want to be on this earth anymore,' he wrote in the concerning post on his verified Instagram account.

'I'm doing my best to stay here for you but I don't know how much longer I can last.'

'All I've ever tried to do was help people. Just remember I told you so.'

After Ariana's tweet, Kanye blasted the Thank u, Next singer. leading Ariana to apologise.

'With all due respect, I don't need to use anyone to promote anything,' she tweeted. 

'Period. I was making a comment about what men were doing at the time vs. women.'

'It was a joke which i understand now was probably insensitive. I apologise if I was in any way triggering and hope u feel well today.'

Pete Davidson has spoke out about his currently struggles with mental health, following Kanye West's online Twitter feud with Drake.

The feud between the two rappers involved Kim Kardashian of course, and was honestly just drama overkill.

It mainly involved Kanye ranting about Drake's seeming penchant for targeting rappers with mental health issues, and escalated fairly quickly.

After Davidson's ex-fiance Ariana Grande had posted a message to Twitter which offended Kanye's mental health, the SNL comedian uploaded his own worrying message;

 "I really don't want to be on this earth anymore. I'm doing my best to stay here for you but I don't know how much longer I can last," he wrote.

"All I've ever tried to do was help people. Just remember I told you so." 

Even Nicki Minaj had to have her say;

Davidson has been open about his difficultly with borderline personality disorder, and has now spoken out to praise Kanye West's candid honesty on the matter;

“Bravo Kanye West for standing up for yourself and speaking out against mental health,” he wrote on Saturday.

”I can’t explain to you enough how difficult and scary it is to be honest about stuff like this," he continued.

The 25-year-old added, “We need people like Kanye.”

“No one should ever point fingers at you for your bravery in speaking about mental health,” he added. “I’m seriously disgusted.”

While he never mentions Grande by name, we're fairly positive he was addressing her tweet regarding the Drake/Kanye drama.

Kanye responded to Ari's comment by saying;

""I know Ariana said this to be cool and didn't mean no harm but I don't like even slightest level of slight commentary from someone I know loves and respects me." Yikes.

Grande later apologised for possibly triggering West but also made sure to defend herself.

“With all due respect, I don’t need to use anyone to promote anything. Period,” she wrote.

“I was making a comment about what men were doing at the time vs. women. It was a joke which I understand now was probably insensitive."

"I apologise if I was in any way triggering and hope you feel well today. Last thing. Stop weaponising mental health. Everyone.”

Ari dropped her new single Imagine on the same day that Miley released her new Christmas song with Yoko Ono, and was later accused of using the feud as publicity.

While we agree with Ari that she most certainly doesn't need publicity, it appears clear that Davidson's mental health needs some care.

Both West and Davidson are showing candour regarding mental health awareness, something we all need to support.

Ariana Grande is peaking in terms of her music, style and creative output. 

Both of her videos for her most recent song, Thank u, Next, broke records for views and listens, and Ariana was the number one most listened to female artist on Spotify in 2018. 

All eyes are on the singer, looking at wheat she will do next following her Thank u, Next 00s movie homage video, and she's definitely not slowing down. 

Over on Twitter, Ariana tweeted: 'imagine Thursday night.'

This led many of her fans to speculate that she would be releasing new music, a concept that Ariana confirmed with an umber of countdown images on her Instagram stories.

The snaps show the Japanese symbols for the word 'imagine' alongside a black and white image of her face.

'A lot of this album mourns failed yet important beautiful relationships in my life (as well as celebrates growth / exploring new independence),' she said on her Instagram story.

'But for those of you asking about imagine: i would say if thank u, next = acceptance… "imagine" = denial. hope that makes sense.'

 We cannot wait for the new tune to drop.

Taylor Swift is one of pop's biggest superstars, and has a rake of security on her team whose sole job is to protect the Reputation songstress.

Her tour has attracted millions of people, and after the attack on Ariana Grande's concert in Manchester last year, the use of facial recognition technology is on the rise at stadiums and areas.

It has now emerged that Tay Tay uses special software to detect stalkers at her ground-breaking shows, and that fans who were mesmerised by her May 18 Rose Bowl rehearsal clips were unaware of this detail.

The Rose Bowl is an annual college football event, and used hidden cameras to capture images of guests in order to transfer them to a command post based in Nashville.

These snaps were later cross-referenced with a database of the musician's well-known stalkers, of which there are HUNDREDS.

According to chief security officer of Oak View Group, the advisory board for concert venues; “Everybody who went by would stop and stare at it, and the software would start working,”

A man who had broken into Swift's New York townhouse and stopped by for an actual NAP made a plea deal last week and as a result, he will only serve a mere six months in prison.

The stalker, full name Roger Alvarado, gained entry when he  “allegedly climbed up a ladder and smashed a window with his hand”

While Taylor needs to make sure she is safe at all times, whether in concert or in her home, there are clear privacy concerns of the photographs.

Issues of ownership and the length of time for which they can be kept on file are the obvious queries…we wonder if Taylor ever has a sneaky peak at them? 

More and more arenas and stadiums are turning to facial-recognition technology; this year, Ticketmaster invested in a start-up named Blink Identity.

This company claims that its sensors can identify anyone walking past its cameras at full speed in just half a second… whoa.

The veteran ticketing corporation intends to use the technology to help fans pass through the turnstiles faster and in a more practical way.

Ticketmaster’s chief product officer Justin Burleigh commented that: "It holds a lot of promise. We’re just being very careful about where and how we implement it."

We want our snake-obsessed icon to be safe, but does anyone else think it's a tad 1984

Erik also marked the birth of their first child with a daddy-son pic and we just can't,  it's just too cute.

Holding the baby human, he wrote:" IS THIS REAL LIFE!? I love you so much baby Stocklin! Mama Ballinger and Papa Stocklin are champs! This family is freaking amazing!"

The pair are yet to release the name of their son to the public, but we are in for a treat as Colleen is making a birthing video.

On Twitter, she told fans: "I have a long video coming soon of the birth of my perfect little angel. it’s going to take me a while to get up so please be patient."

Last night, the Thank u, next singer was clearly moved as she accepted Billboard's Woman of the Year at the corporation's Women in Music event in New York.

"This is really special. I want to say that I find it interesting that this has been one of the best years in my career and one of like the worst years in my life," she artist said, as she was honoured onstage.

She added that she felt "completely undeserving" of the Woman of the Year title, and went on to thank her team but was too overwhelmed to remember everyone in her life who she wanted to mention.

Ari spoke about the dynamic between her career and her personal life, saying; "A lot of people would look at someone in my position right now as an artist that could be at her peak and think, 'She’s really got her shit together, she's really on it. She’s got it all…"

"And I do, but as far as my personal life goes, I really have no idea what the f*ck I’m doing." Ari has become a lot more open recently about her turbulent emotions, as well as her mission to work on her relationship with herself.

"It's been a very conflicting one, and I just want to say if you're someone out there who has no idea what this next chapter is going to bring, you’re not alone in that."

In true Ari style, after giving us a message of hope, she delivered a final silly remark; "I'm not going to cry, that's really annoying," she joked.

She continued;"I’m really looking forward to embracing whatever happens and whatever comes my way." As she wrapped up her speech, she made sure to give a shout-out to her BFF's Victoria Monet and Tayla Parx.

"I look forward to hopefully learning to give some of the love and forgiveness that I've given away so frivolously and easily to men in the past to myself, hopefully, this year," she declared, in a totally iconic manner.

Thank U, Next has been on everyone's lips and we ADORE the self-empowering message Ari is belting out.

And then Ariana dropped that iconic video and it's all anyone has been talking about. 

But we may have just found a parody of the music video that might rival the masterpiece.

Everyone welcome to the stage: James Corden's Thank u, Jeff.

In a segment for The Late Late Show with James Corden, the host takes on the smash hit.

Trolling the pop song, James is rocking some silk pjs, with a burn book of his own dedicated to Jeff Goldblum.

The lyrics are genius and Jeff takes over the role that Kris Jenner stole in Ariana's version.

James also includes the bend and snap, a sexy piano sequence and a pillow fight.

I'm not sure if we will ever get the image of James humping his bedroom carpet out of our head – but the video is pure brilliance.

Even Ariana loved the parody and asked for the Thank U, Jeff book.

Replying to the video on Twitter, the singer wrote: "Omg…may I please…Please for Christmas have the Thank U, Jeff book? It's for a friend, promise."

I've re-watched the video more times than I care to admit – just amazing.

Pete Davidson has opened up about the impact online bullies have had on his mental health in the most harrowing open letter.

The comedian has kept his head down since splitting up with Breathin’ singer Ariana Grande but the SNL cast member has been hit with waves of abuse despite keeping a low profile.

Pete has been receiving never-ending hateful comments and has been at the centre of far too many nasty jokes since his relationship with the pop star crumbled.

Taking to Instagram, he opened up about feeling suicidal and living with Borderline Personality Disorder.

Pete admitted that he has been struggling to get his head around the online trolls and the horrible things they say but he stressed that they will never push him to suicide.
