Margot Robbie offered obscene amount of money to sell pictures on foot fetish website
Australian actress Margot Robbie was offered an obscene amount of money to sell pictures of her feet on a fetish website. The 33-year-old Barbie actress was made an offer of £250,000 ($490,988 AUD) by a woman named Liz who is a popular creator on the website Fun With Feet which allows people to buy and sell images of feet for cash. In a letter addressed to Robbie, Liz claimed she looks like the actress and proposed the idea of collaborating on some Barbie-inspired content that would “earn us both millions”. She wrote: “Dear Margot, My name is Liz and I make thousands selling feet pics on Fun With Feet… I also look a lot like you. Barbie is all women, but we really are Barbie - Stereotypical Barbie, anyway. “I would love to collaborate with you on some Barbie-inspired content that’ll earn us both millions. Plus, Fun with Feet is offering to pay you £250K as a starting bonus. If I’m right, we’ll be able to capitalise on our likeness - and the world’s obsession with all things Barbie - to no end, all thanks to our feet!” Liz claimed that people already come to her because she looks like Robbie and that her “stereotypical Barbie feet” are already an “insane earner”. She ended her offer, writing: “If you would be at all interested in working with me, contact the Fun with Feet team and we can twin on some blockbuster foot content! We were made for this!” The offer was also extended to Robbie’s male co-star Ryan Gosling, for some “amazing Ken and Barbie-themed foot content”. There are no suggestions that either Hollywood actor has responded to Liz's bizarre offer. Sign up to our free Indy100 weekly newsletter Have your say in our news democracy.

Such is the demand, AI covers of the pop stars singing 'Style' as a duet have been popping up on TikTok and have received millions of views. @mayksounds Replying to @kaylee <3 did someone ask for Style? #style #taylorswift #taylorsversion #taylorswiftedit #taylornation #harrystyles #harrystylesvids #harrystylesedit #aicover One fan wrote: "This would absolutely be the song of the century.

While Swifties know the singer likes to drop hints or Easter eggs about future music, some have pointed out she had similar dance moves to Styles when performing the 1989 track on her Eras Tour. The two exes also appear to be on good terms as they were spotted chatting at the 2021 and 2023 Grammy Awards.

Nicole Scherzinger accused of "insensitive"swimsuit photoshoot amid Hawaii homeland fires
Hawaiian native Nicole Scherzinger has been accused of ignoring the plight of her homeland by posting a swimsuit photoshoot on Instagram amid wildfires in Hawaii. The Maui fires have ravaged 850 hectares of land and is now the deadliest bushfire in US history. Hawaii Governor Josh Green yesterday confirmed that 93 people had been killed by the raging fires that started on 8 August. Six fires are still currently burning through the Hawaiian coast, with the Lahaina fire now under 85 per cent containment. Officials have warned that the death toll will likely rise once again when interior searches of around 1000 torched buildings take place. Sign up to our free Indy100 weekly newsletter Some 2200 buildings and structures have been burnt to the ground. About 46,000 residents and visitors have flown out of Kahului Airport in West Maui, according to the Hawaii Tourism Authority. With that in mind, when the former Pussycat Dolls singer posted images of herself in a swimsuit online, people thought she was being insensitive. Comments have since been turned off and deleted on the post, but before they were, one person reportedly commented on Scherzinger’s pics, “Maui on fire but you out here half naked in your glamorous life … OK”. Another added, “I just think it’s a bit insensitive bearing in mind what’s happening in (Hawaii)”. Another agreed, “Time to stop and support Hawaii, show us your doing something instead of posting pictures in bikini”. However, in fairness to Scherzinger her previous Instagram post was for a fundraiser for Maui and she has since followed it up with a video pleading with those to do what they can. She has also used her Instagram Stories to promote causes helping those in need on Maui. The cause of the wildfires is under investigation but it hasn't stopped conspiracy theorists spreading claims they were started by a 'space laser beam.' Celebrities should really think before they post. Have your say in our news democracy. Click the upvote icon at the top of the page to help raise this article through the indy100 rankings.

Fans speculate about Drake and Bobbi Althoff’s ‘beef’ as podcast disappears
Fans have catapulted into a frenzy after noticing the Bobbi Althoff interview with Drake has disappeared from YouTube, with further claims the pair have unfollowed each other on Instagram. Althoff is the host of the Really Good Podcast, with a string of celebrities sitting down with the hilariously awkward 26-year-old.
