It would seem Madonna isn’t a fan of kale after she labelled it as “gay” during a Buzzfeed quiz.

The singer was taking part in a game that had her writing down what she thought of different items such as crocs or Hilary Clinton.

When it came to kale however, Madonna wrote  “gay” and is now facing backlash from her fanbase who are saying that the word gay should no longer be used in a negative context.

Madonna also faced serious criticism recently when she used the word n****** in a snap of her son Rocco.

She later issued a statement saying: “I am sorry if I offended anyone with my use of the N-word on Instagram … It was not meant as a racial slur … I am not a racist.”

Hmm, maybe it’s best to steer clear of any potentially offensive words in future, Madonna!

The sexy actor was speaking at the Cinema Screening Sociaty in New York City when he called Charlotte Riley his “wife”.

Reports are speculating that Jessica Chastain is set to play the iconic film star, Marilyn Monroe.

Jessica is believed to have landed the lead role in director Andrew Dominik’s new Marilyn Monroe drama, Blonde.

Blonde plans to go into a more in depth look of Marylin’s life and will be told from the perspective of Marilyn’s real persona, Norma Jeane Baker.

The film will also feature all of Marilyn’s famous suitors but they will all go under vague descriptions, such as the playwright (Arthur Miller), the president (John F. Kennedy) and The Ex-Athlete (Joe DiMaggio).

We think Jessica is a perfect cast choice for the role, as Jessica even looked and acted like the iconic star in the hit film, The Help.

It seems, not long after Selena’s Instagram unfollowing of Kendall and Kylie Jenner, the singer has decided to do an entire friend cleanse on the social media site.

We aren’t kidding. The Come and Get singer has unfollowed everyone on her Instagram account, including close friends, Ashley Benson and Vanessa Hudgens.

Many thought the reason Selena decided to cut off social media ties with the Jenner sisters was as a result of her BFF, Taylor Swift.

Selena has also deleted all of her past photos with the Keeping Up With the Kardashian stars and many believed that this was as a result of Kendall dating Taylor’s ex, Harry Styles. But the fact the singer has also unfollowed Taylor, has raised further eyebrows.

This strange online behaviour is following the shock firing of her managers who also happen to be her parents.

But her dramatic changes could be as a result of her stay in rehab last month. Her rep confirmed that the singer had attended a rehab centre for “emotional issues” and “partying” too much.

Whatever the reason is for Selena’s dramatic changes, we just hope that the singer is doing ok.

It’s been reported, that a married couple who held hands for 70 years at breakfast every morning, have died only 15 hours apart from one another.

Helen Felumlee and her husband, Kenneth Felumlee were from Nashport in the U.S.A. and according to their eight children, were inseparable.

Helen died at the age of 92-years-old on April 12, but it seemed that Kenneth couldn’t imagine a world without his dear wife, as the 91-year-old died the following morning.

Their daughter, Linda Cody knew that if one of her parents passed, her other parent would soon follow.

“He was ready. He just didn’t want to leave her here by herself.”

Some reports have even suggested, that the couple once shared the bottom of a bunk bed on a ferry, rather than sleeping one night apart.

Their children said that both Helen and Kenneth remained deeply in love, till the very end.
