    Social media and social influencers are two of the worst things ever.

    YES!!!!

    They think so highly of themselves just because they have many followers and demand to be treated differently e.g. have free accommodation...  Can't remember that bitch name 'cos she demanded the hotel to give her free accommodation 'cos she's a "social influencers" but the hotel just shut her out. She bad-mouthed about the hotel and deleted all unfavourable comments. Do all these "negative" comments affect the hotel much? Not at all :rolleyes:

    And also, some demand free food and if they didn't get what they want, they will write something bad about the restaurant blah blah blah.

    They spend their entire time posting on internet.

    They will not work and hope to get funded whenever they need money.

    They contribute NOTHING to the society.

    These ppl are leeches of the society.

    They fail to realize when there's a crisis, no one would care about them.

    Have you guys seen this? It sounds so tabloidish. 

    I’m surprised El Pais ran this story.

    Madonna’s farewell from Portugal turns sour over row involving a horse

    The pop icon could not get permission to allow the animal inside a 19th-century palace for a music video shoot, and has since accused the Portuguese of being ungrateful

    Madonna is at the center of a fresh controversy in Portugal, just as she is set to leave the country. The singer has accused the Portuguese of being ungrateful, an accusation that they have thrown right back at her. And the culprit behind this latest row? A horse, which was not allowed inside a palace for a music video.

    Madonna, who has been living in Portugal since 2017, was set to film a video for the song “Indian Summer” in the Quinta Nova de Assunção palace in Sintra, a resort city near Lisbon.

    The pop star’s attitude has incensed Portuguese authorities, who have reminded her of all the things they’ve done for her during her stay

    Last week however, Sintra City Hall said the pop star could use the palace from March 15 to 20 but could not let a horse inside. The decision reportedly left her outraged.

    In the script for the music video, Madonna was meant to pose next to the animal on the ground. But local authorities said a horse would threaten the safety of the building, given its wooden floor sits upon wooden beams and is “unstable, which prevents it from being used for activities that cause vibrations.”

    Madonna called her agent to complain about what was happening. “My Queen, I am doing everything I can. I have called many people and sent various messages. Unfortunately the man who makes the decision is not available, but he will be,” he replied, according to messages revealed by the Portuguese newspaper Correio da Manhã.

    Annoyed, Madonna responded that she didn’t have to wait and would film somewhere else. “I’ve already given a lot to this country and when I ask for a simple favor, one which will present Portugal to the world, the answer I get is negative,” she told her agent, adding: “This is your fault. You convinced me to come live here.”

    It emerged in February that Madonna would be leaving Portugal in the next few months, to move to New York. A fleet of cars carrying suitcases was recently seen leaving the four-star Palacio Ramalhete hotel in Lisbon, where the singer has been staying for the last year.

    The pop star’s attitude has incensed Portuguese authorities, who have reminded her of all the things they have done for her during her stay in the country. For example, Lisbon City Hall gave Madonna a reduced price on a parking spot; the soccer club S.L. Benfica welcomed her son so that he could practice regardless of his level; the international school Lycée Français Charles Lepierre accepted the singer’s twin girls even though there was a waiting list; and the Portuguese government fast-tracked her residency.

    I don't M would disrespect historical site in such a way.

    I doubt it has anything to do with today’s Apple event. They’ll introduce their new streaming service, but knowing them, it won’t go live for another 6 months. 

     
    No M mentioned.
     
    Hollywood celebrities are likely to trek to Apple's home to greet the debut of a revamped Apple TV digital storefront. Apple has commissioned programming from A-list names such as Jennifer Aniston, Reese Witherspoon, Oprah Winfrey and Steven Spielberg.

    An Indian summer is a period of unseasonably warm, dry weather that sometimes occurs in autumn in the Northern Hemisphere. Indian summers are common in North America, Europe and Asia. The US National Weather Service defines this as weather conditions that are sunny and clear with above average temperatures, occurring September to November. 

    Although the exact origins of the term are uncertain, it was perhaps so-called because it was first noted in regions inhabited by Native Americans ("Indians"), or because the Native Americans first described it to Europeans, or it had been based on the warm and hazy conditions in autumn when Native Americans hunted.

    an Indian Summer is a well known term used throughout the Western hemisphere to describe unseasonable, summer-like weather in the fall. It's a very image-based term. Used a ton in media. 

    :shock: :thumbsup:

    I live in a county where 365 days are summer therefore "Indian summer" or not, doesn't make a difference to me.

    MNF is now tweeting about Indian Summer. 

    Nvm. Pop Crave isn’t suspended anymore.

    Why Indian? Why not Japanese, French, German, Spanish, Russian, Brazilian, Australian, Norwegian etc summer?

    Anything without the following words will be 100% OK with me:
    "love", "bitch", "fuzzy", "dream", "fuzzy dream", "waiting", "anticipating", "hesitating" "Like a + ???"

    jokes aside, I like Indian summer both as a song title or even as an album name
     

    So you're ok with "open/close/lock heart", "tick-tock", "mmmmm"?

    “She was super big, then it all went a bit off the rails, she got a bit kooky, people started to lose a bit of interest,” said a music executive who has worked with the singer. “You don’t real­ly hear people talk about her that much anymore, whereas everyone wants to know if Ariana Grande has crossed the street or had a milkshake.”

    I remember the last time M whispered a comment about a flower she dislikes in private and not even attempting to make a statement, the whole world went crazy and made it to worldwide entertainment headlines instantly.

    CNN even spent time talked about it aside from all other more important news:

    Now do you see CNN spent time on Ariana Grande/Kaka/Toilet Swine/Cardi B/whoever's milkshake choice that published on their social media? :rolleyes:
