Insta Creep: Olivia Jade Is Back On YouTube After The College Admissions Scandal…
What all the celebs are up to on social, from A to Z listers.
In our gossip column, we indulge our nosiest desires and delve deep into what the celebs (and ‘celebs’) are doing on social media. Who’s tweeting and deleting? Who’s shady faving? Let’s find out.
Olivia Jade Giannulli is back on YouTube following the college admissions scandal.
The influencer’s parents, actress Lori Loughlin and fashion designer Massimo Giannulli, were charged with paying bribes of up to $500k to get their two daughters into the University of Southern California in what has become known as Operation Varsity Blues.
While fellow accused Felicity Huffman pleaded guilty and has already served her jail time, Lori and Massimo have pleaded not guilty, facing a trial in early 2020 and a potential sentence of 20 years in prison.
After months of silence on her YouTube channel, Olivia Jade returned with a two-minute video in which she speaks vaguely about her parents’ predicament.
“I’m legally not allowed to speak on anything going on right now,” she explains. “A part of me is like, ‘Should I come back to YouTube right now?’ I debated for seven or eight months, if I can’t talk about it, is there a point in coming back and not being able to say anything?”
This is the best I can do and I want to move on with my life and not in a selfish way. It’s so hard, because I’m not trying to make this about me, or how I’ve been, because it’s not the point of this… Moral of the story is, I’ve missed you guys so much and I’m really excited to start filming again and start uploading.
And so the wheel turns on. Welcome back, OJ.
Brian Dowling shared a GAS video of poor Pippa O’Connor falling off a rocking horse.
The BFFs were catching up at Pippa’s manse in Kildare over the weekend when the influencer decided to mount a child’s rocking horse. Chaos ensued.
The slow mo really adds to the effect. God bless you, Brian Dowling (though Pippa may not be feeling the same way).
Chrissy Teigen said she was grateful for their family’s nannies and chef on Thanksgiving, leaving a certain cadre of her followers foaming at the mouth.
People get mad when celebrities aren’t honest about the army of staff keeping their households running, and they also get mad when they are. Who knew?
On Thursday, Chrissy posted a photo of “the people that make our dysfunctional house functional”, which include two nannies and a chef:
While most of her followers applauded her honesty (and it’s something Chrissy has spoken about before), some couldn’t help but be bitter.
“Thankful for my household staff of chefs and nannies,” wrote one, to which Chrissy replied: “Literally what I just said but you sure got me.”
Which parent wouldn’t have a nanny if they had Teigen-Legend level funds? Similarly, who would turn down a personal chef? That’s what we want to know.
And now it’s time for… #WilloughbyWatch
Charting the public’s obsession with what Holly Willoughby is wearing.
It’s CHRIIIIIIIISTMAAAAAAAS! And Holly is wearing what has to be the most perfect festive party dress this morning on This Morning. This slinky velvet number is once again from Oasis, however I cannot for the life of me locate it online. Is Holly being cruel and wearing old stock, or is it simply not available yet?
Whatever the case may be, her followers are going frantic looking for it. “Love this dress, but can’t seem to find it online?” “You look stunning, can’t find the dress on the website.” What have you done, Holly.
