Taylor Swift: First to 50 Million Instagram Followers!

It’s a week of firsts for Taylor Swift.


After covering her first-ever issue of GQ, Swift has now jumped online and thanked her fans for helping her achieve a milestone on Instagram:



She’s the first person in history to reach 50 million followers on that social media platform.



“50 million followers! Thanks so much guys. I’m pretty sure this is just because I have cute cats though,” Swift wrote as a cute message in celebration of the achievement.


Instagram actually turned five years old this week, meaning Swift has averaged 10 million new followers per year since the website went live.


That’s a lot.


The superstar solo artist now clocks in at a fan base higher than Beyoncé and Kim Kardashian, who have 47.5 and 48.4 million followers each, respectively.


And Swift has done it by keeping her clothes nearly entirely on, with the exception of those unexpected Taylor Swift belly button photos.

The race to 60 million followers is on!


Justin Bieber: Sort of Cool with Nude Photos Because Junk is MASSIVE

Justin Bieber’s lawyers are threatening lawsuits against any outlets who post nude photos of the singer, but Bieber himself isn’t all that upset.


Why? Because the pictures show what he’s packing!



Yes, his legal team is irate over the invasion of privacy and well within its rights to demand the removal of Justin Bieber nude photos online.



Yes, Bieber was frolicking nude with Jayde Pierce and has a right to be pissed that paparazzi exposed that sort of intimate moment as well.


Yes, Twitter reacted with a predictable onslaught of hilarious jokes, memes and #whatdoyoupeen hashtags at the pop superstar’s expense.


All of that doesn’t change how endowed he is!


Bieber dong. It’s not just for Jayde Pierce (or Selena Gomez, or Hailey Baldwin, or Kendall Jenner, or a harem of VS models) anymore …



Bieber sources say you better believe he was upset at paparazzi who, armed with long telephoto lenses, snapped the scandalous photos.


(The images show a naked Bieb in Bora Bora, right before getting in the pool and likely getting it in with Pierce in the not too distant future.)


Justin’s rage dissipated, though, as the pics hit the web and he realized that there’s no taking them back … and his d–k is enormous.


The world knows it, and it could be a lot worse.


As for his legal team, they’re just doing their job in sending the message that Justin’s not okay with this and to take down the pics ASAP.


Multiple cease and desist letters have been fired off to news outlets, decrying the images taken without Bieber’s knowledge or consent.


Grey"s Anatomy Season 12 Episode 3 Recap: Oh, Baby?

Oh… baby?


It certainly appeared as if Jo would have some bug news for Alex on Grey’s Anatomy Season 12 Episode 3, at least according to the way ABC promoted this installment.



And early on in the hour, Jo did seem to confide in Stephanie that she’s pregnant.



She then asked Alex, out of nowhere, whether he wanted to have kids and got angry when he hesitated with his response.


With his personal life confusing and maddening, Alex was treating newborn twins with liver cancer in his professional life.


The father was a donor match, but that only helped one child. Because these was no way for the parents to decide which baby lived and which died, Alex said he could make the call.


That night, we learned Jo is NOT actually pregnant. Instead, she found papers that clued her in to Alex’s frozen embryos… with Izzie. Wow, an Izzie reference!


Jo was clearly upset, thinking Izzie was the woman with whom Alex really wanted to have children and that left her as the woman with whom maybe he just wanted to have a dog or something.



Back at work, things weren’t any better. Unable to save both kids, Alex held the dying baby until he flatlined (and until we cried our eyes out).


Arizona was at least able to save the other baby and then Alex went home to tell Jo he was ready to have kids if that’s what she wanted.


Elsewhere, Jackson tried to kick April out… and failed? That’s right, he returned home that night to a home-cooked meal and to the news that his wife was not giving up on them.


After arguing about whether she was committed to their marriage or whether she needed to be committed, Jackson moved on to go crash at Bailey and Ben’s place.


Meanwhile, Callie and Amelia encouraged Meredith to renegotiate her bad contract (which she did in the end, much to Bailey’s delight because she wanted to see Meredith step up).


Maggie didn’t really chime in, though, because she was questioning her life choices after being invited to Ethan’s wedding. 


Finally, Maggie went up and kissed Andrew… and, based on this preview for Grey’s Anatomy Season 12 Episode 4, it looks like they did not stop at first base:

Leah Messer: So Hurt By Corey Simms, Miranda Patterson Tag-Teaming Her on Teen Mom 2!

Tension between Leah Messer and Corey Simms on the Teen Mom 2 reunion was palpable, and sources say it has not died down since the taping.



The confrontation between Simms, his ex-wife Leah Messer and Miranda Patterson – his current, pregnant wife – was the culmination of a lot of things.


Things that made it awkward to watch Teen Mom 2 online, honestly.



An emotional and dramatic reunion between the three came after a season in which fans saw Leah struggle with a serious mental health disorder.


And/or a prescription drug addiction. It was never explicitly clear.


In any case, the reunion also followed rumors that Corey banged Leah in his truck while meeting to discuss the kids – and while married to Miranda.


“Things happened that shouldn’t have happened and it was disrespectful to Miranda and I have apologized,” Messer admitted on the reunion.


“That’s the only time,” she insists, “that I disrespected her.”


But Simms and Patterson were a united front throughout the episode, and basically used it to blame and sabotage Leah at every opportunity.



An inside source tells Us Weekly of the West Virginia mom:


“She is really hurt by this. She’s not perfect and she knows that but she’s been doing so well, and she loves those kids more than anything.”


“Leah’s considering putting Gracie and Ali into therapy.”


The source also notes that despite her problems, Messer has been unfairly scrutinized and edited, and is trying hard to get her life back on track.


“Leah is doing great. She has actually grown as a person,” the source says. “Leah is not on pills right now. She’s not on drugs. She’s doing so well.”


The source adds that Messer has even gotten support from her second ex-husband Jeremy Calvert, despite what Teen Mom 2 might imply.


“Like Corey and Jeremy would ever set up a time to sit and chat. That’s all production,” the source says. “Jeremy knows she’s a good mom.”


Does he, though? And is she, though? You tell us …
