Pink shuts down troll who compares her to Suzy Eddie Izzard:
Pink shuts down troll who compares her to Suzy Eddie Izzard: "A good lesson in ignorance"
Pink hit back at a troll who tried to use a photo of Suzy Eddie Izzard as an insult. The 'So What' singer celebrated her 44th birthday last week, and was inundated with thousands of well wishes from family, friends and fans. But one caught the star's attention – mainly because a random X/Twitter account tried to compare her to Izzard. The viral post simply said "Happy birthday" while tagging Pink, and included a photo of the British stand-up comedian and actor. In response, Pink thanked the account, before explaining that she "just showed my 12 year old daughter your post." "I explained to her that I’ve never met you, I don’t know you, and I have no idea why you would go out of your way to be hateful," she continued. "It was a good lesson in ignorance. Thank you. I still don’t know you. Congrats. You’re no one." In a follow-up tweet, Pink added: "MOST IMPORTANTLY -what a wasted opportunity here. There are so many pictures you could’ve chosen that were actually me that were worse than this picture, you nameless f***o. At least be creative next time dum dum." Many people jumped in to praise the star, with one hitting back at the poster writing: "It’s not her and she just owned you," to which they replied: "It’s an honour to be called a f***o by Pink. That’s her way of saying 'hey'". Meanwhile, another believed the post to be innocent, saying "I don't think this was meant as an insult to you Pink, it seems a trend on X these days to post a picture of any celeb when addressing another." They continued: "It's supposed to be funny, making the 'reader' assume the poster thinks the celeb posted is the actual celeb they're addressing, and sometimes it is funny, but they don't think about how annoying or hurtful it can be to the person they are addressing."

Woman vanishes after 911 call to report toddler on the side of an Alabama highway
Woman vanishes after 911 call to report toddler on the side of an Alabama highway
Police continue to search for a woman who went missing after telling her family she spotted a child walking alone on a stretch of Alabama highway earlier this week. Rewards totaling $25,000 have been offered up for the return of 25-year-old Carlethia Nichole “Carlee” Russell, who called 911 to report that she saw a toddler on the side of Interstate 459 in Hoover on 13 July. She then called a family member, who lost contact with her while the phone line remained open, according to police. Officers who arrived at the scene found Ms Russell’s car and some of her belongings but did not locate her or the child. “We currently are investigating every possibility,’’ Hoover Police Department public information officer Lt Daniel Lowe said during a press briefing on 14 July. “We’re certainly leaving nothing off the table.” Her mother Talitha Russell said her daughter left The Woodhouse Day Spa before stopping at Taziki’s at 9pm on Thursday to pick up food for her and her mother, according to AL.com. She called 911 when she had pulled over after spotting what she said was a three- or four-year-old child, her mother said. At 9:36pm, Talitha Russell said her daughter was then on the phone with her brother’s girlfriend. “My son’s girlfriend heard her asking the child, ‘Are you OK?’ She never heard the child say anything but then she heard our daughter scream,’’ Talitha Russell said. “From there all you hear on her phone is background noise from the interstate.” An officer was dispatched to the scene within three minutes. One witness reported possibly seeing a gray vehicle and a male standing outside of Ms Russell’s car at the time of the incident, according to Hoover police. Family members have questioned why authorities did not alert an Ashanti Alert, relying on a similar Amber Alert emergency messaging system for missing children. Ashanti alerts, named after 19-year-old Ashanti Billie, who was abducted and killed in 2017, are used in critical missing adult cases for those too old for Amber alerts and too young for Silver alerts. Ms Russell – who is described as Black, 5’4” and 150 to 160 lbs – was last seen wearing a black shirt, black pants and white Nike shoes, according to Hoover police. Members of the public who believe they have seen her are directed to call Hoover Detective Brad Fountain at 205-444-7562, Sgt Drew Mims at 205-739-7274, or Crimestoppers of Metro Alabama at 205-254-7777.

Woman interrupts DeSantis speech to claim her son’s murder was covered up in Florida
Woman interrupts DeSantis speech to claim her son’s murder was covered up in Florida
Gov Ron DeSantis’ presidential campaign event in Manchester, New Hampshire was interrupted by a woman who claimed that her son’s murder had been covered up in Florida. The woman who made the accusation was led out of the facility where the rally was being held. As she was walking out of the event, the woman threw down a DeSantis hat she was holding and vowed to replace with a hat representing former President Donald Trump. Mr DeSantis made his first swing through the Granite State on Thursday, making headlines at an earlier stop for snapping at a reporter who asked him why he hadn’t taken questions from voters at the preceding event. There were several Trump supporters at the DeSantis event in Manchester in red shirts with the words “Union Carpenters for President Trump 2024” on them. Mr DeSantis trailed Mr Trump by more than 20 points in a mid-May poll of New Hampshire, the first primary state on the Republican calendar in 2024.
