The Weird, Wild & Wonderful World of Celebrities
Vol. 1 Issue 29 – 12th October 2024
Celebs being weird
Former One Direction member and attention seeker Liam Payne’s downfall started when he appeared on Logan Paul’s podcast and claimed he was the most successful ex-1D solo singer, but now the depths of his disgrace sink lower as he showed up at Niall Horan’s show in Argentina and displayed peak pick-me behaviour dancing the macarena and trying to rile up the audience around him. Since then, Payne’s former girlfriend Maya Henry has posted TikToks about Zayn being the 1D member that threw Liam against a wall, an incident he mentioned in the Logan Paul interview but hadn’t said who had done so. Many people have also come forward with claims that he slid into the DMs of, and shared unsolicited pictures with, minors while being in relationships. Old videos are also cropping up, showing other 1D members not acknowledging him or being put off by him.
Talking of weird male celebs, Elon Musk joined Donald Trump at a rally, and pictures of him flailing and jumping are giving fanboy. Musk has also launched Cybercab and Robovan, at his We, Robot event. The vehicles are fully autonomous and don’t have pedals or a steering wheel. Also at the event, was a bartender robot.
