Chrissy Tiegen took to Twitter last night to draw attention to the lengths paparazzi will go to in order to get a 'good' photograph of a celebrity in public.

In a series of angry tweets, the Lip Sync Battle presenter explained that she and her husband, John Legend, had been making their way through JFK airport when they were confronted by a pap who attempted to provoke a reaction from them.

Explaining that the pap had made a racist remark towards the All Of Me singer, Chrissy wrote: "Paparazzi at JFK just asked me "if we evolved from monkeys, why is John Legend still around?" – and people wonder why celebs lose it in pics."

"I was very kind. Answered cooking questions, then he came with that. Fu*king disgusting. Also, John is right next to me. The balls." she added.

And according to the mum-of-one, that particular photographer didn't leave it there.

"He also went from "what's an easy recipe to make at home" to "if a Jew were a vampire, would he still be afraid of crosses?" Chrissy told her followers who number in their millions.

Explaining to fans that she refused to respond in anger, Chrissy wrote: "They live for that photo and lawsuit."

Responding to Chrissy's series of post last night, her fans attempted to placate her, with one writing: "Oh my god. well let me add to the much needed positivity and say that you and your family are amazing people."

Agreed.

A staunch Hillary Clinton supporter, John Legend was understandably unimpressed by Kanye West's decision to meet with President-Elect Donald Trump in recent days.

The unprecedented meeting, which made headlines around the world, didn't sit easy with the All Of Me singer who questioned both parties' motivation.

Speaking to French media outlet Clique, John feared his long-time friend and colleague had been used by the Trump camp, saying: "I don't think it's impossible to talk to him about issues, but I won't be used as a publicity stunt."

"I think Kanye was a publicity stunt," he said when asked about the meeting which has apparently accelerated Kanye's future presidential bid.

While John was reluctant to discuss Kanye's recent hospitalisation out of respect for the father-of-two, he didn't adopt the same approach when it came to Kanye's political stance.

"I'm pretty disappointed with Kanye that he says he would have voted for Trump. I think Trump has been corrosive, his message has been corrosive to the country."

"I think the things he has promised to do have been very concerning for a lot of people, and for Kanye to support that message is very disappointing." John added.

Fair enough.

In the same week Jenna Dewan decided to spill the deets on her sex life with Channing Tatum, Chrissy Teigen chose to reveal the various places she and husband John Legend have gotten down and dirty.

The model, who welcomed her first child earlier this year, appeared on Watch What Happens Live alongside the All Of Me singer and told host Andy Cohen that she and John went at it during a political event back in 2008.

"It wasn't at the White House, to be clear," she said. "It was at a campaign event that we happened to be at."

And if doing it in close proximity to Barack Obama wasn't enough, the couple then went on to reveal they've made use of Fred Segal, a boutique in LA, as as well as one of John's dressing rooms on tour.

Oh, and this isn't the first time Chrissy has gotten super candid about her sexcapades either.

Speaking previously to Cosmopolitan, Chrissy said: "We're by no means freaky-deaky, but let's just say, we're open to things. We're very okay with PDA."

"When we go to a restaurant, he loves when I wear a dress, so he can do some upper-thigh rubbing. I would love to see more husbands and wives making out."

"We were on our way to Thailand to see my parents, flying commercial first-class," she said.

"We were under a blanket. We weren't even in one of those pod things. I feel like we should get a trophy for that."

We feel you should too, Chrissy.

Shortly after news broke that Kanye West had been hospitalised yesterday, long-term friend John Legend was quizzed about the rapper's state of mind and wellbeing in recent weeks.

While reluctant to speak out of turn, the All of Me singer did acknowledge that Kanye had endured considerable stress since his wife Kim was the victim of an armed robbery in Paris.

"I think he's been through a lot lately with what happened to Kim," John told ET host Nischelle Turner. "I think he needs to rest."

"I think his fans will be patient and let him rest. He'll come back stronger, hopefully," he added.

Having cancelled his tour prior to being admitted to a hospital in LA, Kanye's mental health was discussed at length today, but it was not a topic which John wanted to engage with.

"I'm not gonna speak out of term and speak for him," the singer stressed. "All I can see is what he said to the public — and that is he's tired and needs some rest."

As it happens, John was with Kim shortly before Kanye was admitted to hospital and admitted that the turn of events was a cause for concern.

“We were with Kim actually, you know, right before all of that,” he said on CBS' This Morning earlier today.

“I was concerned by what I saw, so hopefully he’s getting some rest and some time to figure things out”.

Kanye is currently under observation after police responded to a medical welfare phone call yesterday afternoon.

After recently teasing fans and followers with sneak peeks of his latest video, John Legend officially released it over the weekend, and YouTube is struggling to cope right now.

Featuring his wife Chrissy Teigen and baby daughter Luna, the video for Love Me Now has given everyone a major case of the feels.

Acknowledging the timing of the video's release, 37-year-old John told Instagram users: "We didn't think about the election when we planned the release date for this song and video. But in this time of conflict and uncertainty, it's clear that we all need more love."

"I find it in my family and in my music. Embracing my family has made today full of love and light despite the bad new," he said in reference to Donald Trump's win in the presidential election.

"But it's also important that we show love and empathy to people who may not look like us or live like us. Those who are marginalised and rejected, feared and left behind."

 

It's been quite a time for the United States and the rest of the world as we all watched the election results come in early Wednesday morning. Some of us wept for our country. Some of us celebrated. Some of us are already taking to the streets in protest. You all know how I wanted and expected the election to go. I wanted us to choose unity and inclusion over building walls and singling out ethnic and religious groups for hate and suspicion. I wanted us to choose progress over yearning for some long-lost mythical era when America was supposedly greatest. I wanted us to destroy the highest glass ceiling instead of electing an admitted sexual assaulter. But we did not. These are the election results and all of us will have to learn to deal with it. I will not give up though. I will continue to be aware and vigilant. I will continue to speak out for justice. We didn't think about the election when we planned the release date for this song and video. But in this time of conflict and uncertainty, it's clear that we all need more love. I find it in my family and in my music. Embracing my family has made today full of love and light despite the bad news. But it's also important that we show love and empathy to people who may not look like us or live like us. Those who are marginalized and rejected, feared and left behind. The video premieres Friday and features a diverse group of people from all over the world. From Standing Rock to Iraq, from Orlando to the DR. Love is universal. We all need it. We all can give it. And it will ultimately win over hate. I have to believe that. If you want to join in our celebration of love, use the hashtag #lovemenow and send us a picture of you and someone you care about.

Explaining the reasoning behind the latest track from his fifth studio album, he added: "Love is universal. We all need it. We all can give it. And it will ultimately win over hate. I have to believe that."

YouTubers wasted no time checking out the vid, with one writing: "This was so beautiful I'm tearing UP."

"Yeah, a light in the midst of political chaos," responded another.

Have you seen it yet?

Look, we'd be lying if we said a tiny part of us didn't wish our own lives mirrored that of the one John Legend and Chrissy Teigen share with their daughter Luna.

And judging by the response internet users gave a video Chrissy posted last night, we're definitely not alone.

Racking up more than two million views in just 11 hours, Instagram is all over footage of John playing O Tannembaum for his daughter as Chrissy cradles her.

Looking chill AF, the couple entertained their four-month-old daughter with the traditional German Christmas carol while the rest of us melted, and wished they could just adopt us.

"They are so perfect, I can't handle it," wrote one of Chrissy's followers this morning while another gushed: "This is my favorite video ever."

Ah lads, we can't cope.

For years, we've heard whisperings that guys don't go for funny girls.

Whether they're intimidated by their wit or would rather sit in silence than enjoy a good belly laugh, these guys genuinely (and unfortunately) do actually exist.

But, thankfully, John Legend isn't one of them.

Opening up about his relationship with Chrissy Teigen, the All Of Me singer revealed that it was his wife's sense of humour which made him realise he was falling for her.

Like most relationships these days, the pair tested the waters by swapping texts and keeping up with each other online, and it turns out Chrissy's way with words reeled John right in.

Speaking to Entertainment Tonight, the singer explained: "At the beginning of our relationship, we were texting a lot and I started to see her sense of humour."

"We would talk on the phone and I started to fall in love with how engaging and witty and funny she is," he revealed.

Like her millions of online followers, John wasn't immune to Chrissy's Twitter skills, adding: "I fell in love with Chrissy over the phone, because she is good with those 140 characters."

As good a reason as any, right?!

When it comes to high-profile couples, it's no exaggeration to say that much of the world is head over heels for Chrissy Teigen and John Legend, but unfortunately the same can't exactly be said for Kim Kardashian and Kanye West.

And yet despite their conflicting positions in the eyes of the public, the two couple remain firm friends, seeing each other through engagements, marriages, and children.

While reflecting on their bond in footage which Kim uploaded to her app this week, the two ladies admitted that each other's wedding days coincidentally signalled two of the biggest rows they have ever had with their respective partners.

Opening up about her reaction to Chrissy's wedding which Kim didn't end up attending, Kim told Chrissy: "I got in a fight with Kanye during your wedding."

"I didn’t go. North was just born and I was so fat, and I had nothing to wear, so then he kept texting me," Kim explained.

"Babe, this is so pretty. I really wish you were here at Lake Como.’ Literally a play-by-play text," Kim told her friend. " We got into the biggest fight. ‘Just stop texting me. Go enjoy the wedding, you’re making me feel so bad!"

Thankfully, Chrissy had Kim's back on this one, and revealed that she and John also had an absolute blazer on Kimye's big day.

"John and I got in the biggest fight at [Kim and Kanye’s] wedding that you’ve ever seen in your whole life," the new mum admitted.

Is it weird that this makes us feel better about our own bust-ups?!

There are some celebrity couples – who shall remain nameless – who only have to post one tribute to each other to have social media reaching for its sick bucket, and then there's Chrissy Teigen and John Legend.

While we'd happily watch them read the phone book to one another, we're even more pumped when they get all gushy about one another. (It's just our thing, don't judge us.)

Taking to Instagram yesterday, Chrissy hit everyone in the feels when she shared a shot of herself and John chilling out in Lake Como, writing: "Back to where it all began – Lake Como, Italy – first came here in 2007."

"A boat tour guide took us to a little spot on the lake and told us to make a wish," Chrissy wrote in a post which has racked up a staggering 455,000 likes.

"I asked for this to be the man I marry and have children with," she confessed. "I think John asked for the most perfect bite of cacio e pepe.  Both came true, and here we are."

We don't know whether it's because she can make us laugh and cry at the same time, or because we just want to BE her, but props to Chrissy for that one.

We're in bits over here.

Getting snarky about one of the world's greatest sporting icons following their death is a fairly big no-no in anyone's language, but it looks like good ol' Piers Morgan never got that particular memo.

Thankfully, one of the world's most popular couples wasted no time reminding him of this when he took to Twitter to slam the public's response to the passing of boxing legend Muhammad Ali.

Responding to Pier's tweet which read: "I hope people don't make me sound too perfect when I die. No coats of sugar please" John Legend hit back, tweeting: "You could test us by announcing your retirement."

Proving she always has her husband's back, new momma and Lip Sync Battle host, Chrissy, added: "From what? Trolling isn't a job (I've tried)"

The spat escalated when Piers told Chrissy modelling wasn't a real job and she made reference to an ill-advised comment he made upon the release of Beyoncé's Lemonade.

The snarky digs and comments went back and forth, with Chrissy eventually tweeting: "My newborn just looked up at me and said 'Mommy, why is Piers Morgan so unequivocally douchy/' I didn't know what to say."

Chrissy 1. Piers 0.

She's only a few weeks old but it seems that Chrissy Teigen and John Legend's daughter already loves her dad's music.

Chrissy shared a video on Instagram last night, showing baby Lulu bopping along to one of John's tracks.

She captioned that sweet memory, "The beginning."

We can see this being the start of many! It's lovely to know John has a little fan in his daughter!

Despite being one of the most glorious women on planet Earth, Chrissy Teigen still has to put up with a huge amount of online trolling – something which the Sports Illustrated model handles with the perfect mix of sarcasm and sass.

However, despite proving she doesn't need anyone fighting her corner, her husband of three years felt compelled to weigh in on on the latest scandal surrounding his wife.

Having decided to get a bite to eat on the town a few weeks after welcoming her daughter, Chrissy found herself on the end of some harsh criticism from online trolls who thought the star went a step too far by leaving the house after becoming a mother. Yeah, we know.

Reminding the public that he was right there alongside his wife on that infamous night out, John yesterday tweeted;"Funny there's no dad-shaming."

"When both of us go out to dinner, shame both of us so Chrissy doesn't have to take it all. We'll split it all," he insisted.

The All Of You singer was flooded with supportive comments since the post hit his Twitter page, with one fan of the high-profile couple replying: "That is so sweet! There is no shame in spending time together after the baby. Shame on those who say anything."

Aw John, you're just too perfect.
