Ever since word landed that Kylie Jenner was expecting her first child, fans of the 20-year-old reality star have been on unofficial 'bump watch'.

Unsurprisingly, the make-up mogul has been keen to keep her supposed bump under wraps while posting to social media, so when paps shared photos of the star on Sunday, Kylie was far from impressed.

A post shared by Kylie (@kyliejenner) on

Insistent that the photographers had digitally altered her appearance in order to increase her size and shape, Kylie took to Twitter to advise her fans not to take the photos at face value.

"First of all if you’re going to photoshop my photos blogs/paps, check for the crooked lines in the background.2nd photo is clearly altered," she wrote last night.

While Kylie is adamant that the photos taken of her have been digitally altered, many media outlets are contradicting the star's claims.

Given the speculation surrounding the star's supposed pregnancy, it's hardly surprising that Kylie's fans are still desperate to know whether she is, indeed, pregnant.

"I like Kylie but her leading us on like this is ridiculous. Either you are or your not. The in between is really getting old," remarked one Twitter user.

"So are you or aren’t you? Just say something and everyone will leave it be," added another.

Looks like she's not about to give anything away just yet…

Twitter users were frenzied yesterday evening when POTUS Donald Trump's social media presence completely disappeared.

Trump's Twitter was off the grid for an entire 11 minutes, according to Twitter Government. 

While many online thought that the president had been hacked, it turns out that this social media sabbatical was down to human error.

'Earlier today @realdonaldtrump's account was inadvertently deactivated due to human error by a Twitter employee,' reads the statement from Twitter Government.

'The account was down for 11 minutes, and has since been restored.'

'We are continuing to investigate and are taking steps to prevent this from happening again.'

The employee who made the error was reportedly on his or her's last day of work at Twitter.

'Through our investigation we have learned that this was done by a Twitter customer support employee who did this on the employee's last day,' reads a statement from Twitter.

'We are conducting a full internal review.'

Yep, that was definitely human error all right…

Gigi Hadid has earned the respect of thousands of Twitter users after she expertly took down a far-right blogger for posting an islamophobic tweet.

On Tuesday, Laura Loomer posted a photo showing two Muslim women walking close to the scene where eight people were killed in a ISIS-inspred terror attack in New York City earlier this week.

In the caption, Laura accused the women of “rubbing [the attack] in everyone's faces” by “aimlessly walking around in hijabs.”

People were quick to condemn her comments, with many branding the ignorant post as “ridiculous” and “digusting.”

One notable figure to speak put against Laura's controversial tweet was US supermodel, Gigi Hadid.

Clearly furious with the statment, the 22-year-old wrote: “Laura, I hate to give you the attention, but I need to tell you- You're a f**king moron.”

Laura then hit back at the star, saying: “Every verified liberal in Hollywood & MSM is tweeting at me today. I guess I really pissed them off!. It's not like I killed 8 ppl…”

To which Gigi replied: “alas.. your RT only proves your classless desperation to spread hate for attention..”

Needless to say, her expertly executed response went down well with fans.

Bravo, Gigi. Bravo.

Rosie O'Donnell has come in for criticism after weighing in on the controversy surrounding Oscar-winner Kevin Spacey in recent days.

The 55-year-old actress and chat show panellist responded directly to Spacey's recent statement, where he claimed he has no recollection of an incident involving a then 14-year-old Anthony Rapp.

Dismissing Spacey's claims that he doesn't remember attempting to seduce the child star, Rosie wrote: "u don't remember the incident – 30 years ago? – f*ck u Kevin." (sic)

"Like Harvey we all knew about u – I hope more men come forward," she added. (sic)

While many of Rosie and Spacey's peers have been quick to condemn the latter in the last 24 hours, Rosie's contribution to the conversation has made her culpable in the eyes of many Twitter users.

"Why not say anything then if you knew or had heard stories? Very easy to call it out when it’s already out," responded one member of the public.

"You knew he was a paedophile & kept quiet? Good God," wrote another while someone else added: "Pretty sure that makes you complicit."

Rosie defended herself against the barrage of criticism by arguing it wasn't her responsibility to disclose the information.

 "Aint my secret – this is MEN IN POSITIONS OF POWER – from priests – to studio heads – fathers – teachers – it is the water we all swim in," she argued.

Well, this is an unmitigated disaster.

It seems the excitement of tonight's Great British Bake-Off final went to poor Prue Leith's head because she only went and spoiled the whole thing.

That's right, ladies, the GBBO judge took to Twitter and sent her congratulations to this year's winner… before the show aired.

Naturally, the tweet came down almost as quickly as it went up, but the damage was already done.

And Twitter is facepalming all over itself this morning.

And yes, we did see the original tweet, and no we shan't ruin it for you.

*Excuse us while we cancel our GBBO party for later.*

So last night, word landed that Selena Gomez and The Weeknd had called time on their relationship after ten whole months together.

And, as usual, the Twitosphere took the news like it was a personal blow. 

Rolling up their sleeves, rooting out their most appropriate gifs, and weighing in on the conversation like good things, members of the public had their say on the demise of 2017's cutest couple.

And let's just say, news that Selena and former flame, Justin Bieber, had recently enjoyed a breakfast together did not go unnoticed….

Earlier today we reported on Kevin Spacey's recent statement in light of allegations levelled against him by actor Anthony Rapp.

In a hugely questionable move, the House of Cards actor attempted to deflect attention from Rapp's allegations by choosing to come out as gay – a decision which has thoroughly disgusted members of the public as well as his peers within the entertainment industry.

Spacey has been accused of conflating homosexuality with paedophilia, in addition to taking Rapp's lived experience as a platform to tell his own story.

Twitter has been quick to condemn the acclaimed actor, with many insisting they have lost all respect for him.

Take a look at what the public and his peers have to say on the matter.

In a post which has amassed considerable controversy this morning, House of Cards star, Kevin Spacey, has made the decision to come out as gay, but it's in response to allegations of misconduct against a child.

The actor began his post with an apology to Star Trek actor, Anthony Rapp, who recently alleged Spacey made sexual advances towards him when he was just 14-years-old.

Recalling being invited to Spacey's apartment as a teen, Anthony told BuzzFeed: "My impression when he came in the room was that he was drunk."

"He picked me up like a groom picks up the bride over the threshold. But I don’t, like, squirm away initially, because I’m like, ‘What’s going on?’ And then he lays down on top of me."

The American Beauty star expressed regret over the incident which he claims he cannot remember, and communicates remorse that Anthony has had to deal with the implications of the exchange for over three decades.

"I have a lot of respect and admiration for Anthony Rapp as an actor. I'm beyond horrified to hear his story," Spacey wrote. "I honestly do no remember the encounter, it would have been over 30 years ago."

"But if I did behave then as he describes, I owe him the sincerest apology for what would have been deeply inappropriate drunken behaviour, and I am sorry for the feelings he describes having carried with him all these years."

The 58-year-old actor went on to explain that Anthony's candour has ultimately compelled him to address some other aspects of life which have been at the centre of the rumour mill for decades.

"This story has encouraged me to address other things about my life," he continued.

"I know that there are stories out there about me and that some have been fuelled by the fact that I have been so protective of my privacy."

"As those closest to me know, in my life I have had relationships with both men and women. I have loved and had romantic encounters with men throughout my life, and I choose now to live as a gay man. I want to deal with this honestly and openly and that starts with examining my own "behaviour," he finished.

Unsurprisingly, Twitter is far from impressed with the correlation Spacey has drawn between the allegations levelled at him by Rapp and his current sexual orientation.

Indeed, many of the Hollywood's stars fans and followers have been quick to remind him that his sexual orientation does not justify an inappropriate exchange with a youngster.

"While I applaud you being true to who you are, I'm afraid readers will confuse homosexuality and a desire for underage teens. They are not the same thing. By combining them, you've fed the fire of the religious right," reasoned one.

"Nobody cares if you're gay, what we care about is that you allegedly sexually assaulted a young boy, you imbecile," responded one.

"Kevin: I maybe a child predator but only when I drink. Oh I'm also gay so none of that child stuff matters. There fixed your statement, Kevin," critiqued another.

It's a pretty outdated concept, but often times, men are still expected to make the first move when it comes to asking someone out. 

Many women would easily pluck up the courage to ask the guy they fancy out on a date, but for others, the experience wouldn't be so easy. 

Changing up societal gender norms, award winning relationships blogger Oloni set a challenge to her followers to ask the guys they liked out on a date. 

The challenge was accepted by many brave tweeters, who bared their souls in the hopes of getting a date. 

Oloni also asked that her followers screen shot the responses and post them in the thread, to be shared with her sex-and-relationships-positive community. 

For many, the challenge was a positive experience, as their objects of affection reciprocated with yeses. 

The feeling was liberating for those who had success, and built their confidence.

However, the challenge was heart breaking for others. 

One young woman tweeted the below, with a broken heart emoji. 

She had asked a guy out on a date (more power to you, girl) only to be told that he liked her friend. 

However, the community in the thread showered her with positive messages to help her through the rejection . 

Others also unfortunately discovered that their potential baes were getting married or already had girlfriends, or simply weren't interested. 

One even got served with the block button. 

We think it's better to know though, right? 

So, if you ever wanted to ask someone out, now might be the time to do it. 

At least if there's any rejection involved, you can say it was just for Twitter…

Given the sheer amount of press coverage – not to mention incredulity – surrounding Harvey Weinstein's alleged crimes in recent weeks, you'd be forgiven for thinking that he was the only Hollywood heavy-hitter to ever find himself the centre of such allegations.

Keen to remind the public that this isn't the case, movie producer, Judd Apatow, made reference to actor and director Woody Allen's past in a recent tweet which has sparked intense discussion online in recent days.

Allegations surrounding sexual abuse and misconduct have dogged Allen for almost three decades while the storyline of his latest movie has sparked concern among many – something Judd address directly on social media.

"It is sad that he is obsessed with all these young actresses and none of them run when offered the job," Judd wrote while sharing an article which focussed on the unsettling nature of Allen's latest movie.

Agreeing with 49-year-old producer, one Twitter user wrote: "Seriously, anyone who supports Allen, Roman Polanski, and others like them are the problem."

"I think the first thing to question is why is the industry still supporting him? He goes on like nothing happened," added another.

While agreeing with Judd, one of his followers did question why he believes the responsibility lies at the feet of women, asking: "Why do men continue to work with him?"

"Seriously, men & women know he’s a predator yet his name & fame perpetuate a dangerous reality for all."

Kate Winslet recently came in for criticism when she sidestepped a question relating to Allen's past

"As the actor in the film, you just have to step away and say, I don’t know anything, really, and whether any of it is true or false. Having thought it all through, you put it to one side and just work with the person," she reasoned.

Judd's tweet has been likes more than 2,000 time since its upload.

When a woman in Hollywood is cast a position of power, people are often quick to label the role as a 'strong female character' – but Jessica Chastain isn't buying it.

The Interstallar actress has hit out at those who use the term because it implies that women do not possess strong personality traits to begin with.

In a series of tweets posted earlier today, Jessica made the point that it is rare for a male actor to be referred to in such a way.

She wrote: “Every time someone writes that I play ‘strong women’ what they’re implying is that most women aren’t. How about I just play well written parts?”

When challenged about the stereotypes facing make actors, Jessica agreed that negative labels can indeed affect both genders.

Her comments some just days after she used her voice at the Elle Magazine's Women In Entertainment event to call out hypocrisy in Hollywood.

"This is an industry rife with racism, sexism and homophobia," she said, as she took to the podium.

"It is so closely woven into the fabric of the business that we have become snowblind to the glaring injustices happening every day."

Adding: "Oh we're very quick to point the finger at others and address the issue with social action and fundraising. Yet there is a clear disconnect between how we practice what we preach in our industry."

Twitter has been quick to respond to disturbing footage which emerged in the aftermath of Harry Styles' recent performance at the Hollywood Bowl.

The clip, which shows the 23-year old within arms reach of his audience, has caused a wave of outrage online after it was established that a fan groped Harry's crotch 

The singer abruptly returned to the centre of the stage after a sea of hands rushed out to the touch him, and many of his fans and followers have been quick to condemn the actions of those involved.

With the help of the #RespectHarry hashtag, social media users have discussed the double standards at play by those who have dismissed the incident.

"No one should be ever be touched in a sexual way without consent, no one. I’m deeply sorry that happened," wrote one member of the public.

"This is so disrespectful! You have absolutely no right to call yourself a 'fan' after this, it's so messed up," added another.
