Jenna Ortega sparks fierce debate among fans after being spotted smoking
Fans of the actress Jenna Ortega have been left upset after footage emerged that appeared to show her smoking. The 20-year-old is well-known for her role portraying gothic teen Wednesday in the Netflix series of the same name, gaining a large and passionate fanbase online. But, some of her fans were left saddened when a video began circulating online showing Ortega smoking a cigarette, sparking a debate among Twitter users. The clip was shared by @wstgoat7 and appeared to show Ortega leaning against a wall and smoking while in conversation with someone. She had her hair tied back and sunglasses on her head while also clutching a handbag. Sign up to our free Indy100 weekly newsletter It has been viewed almost 30 million times and ignited some strong feelings among her fans, many of whom have grown up with the former child actress on their screens in shows such as the Disney Channel’s Stuck in the Middle. One disappointed person replied to the video: “Yeah she’s off the roster.” Another said: “Major turn off.” But, others were more concerned by the fact that people were so shocked and concerned that a grown adult woman was doing something totally legal. Someone urged: “Stop infantilizing Jenna, anyways is that the Miu Miu Nappa leather pocket bag? She has good taste.” “Twitter users when their fav actor, who is an adult, does an adult thing,” pointed out someone else. For others, the Ortega smoking discourse reminded them of the moment One Direction fans discovered band member Zayn Malik smoked and launched a campaign in 2012 to urge him to quit. Amid the Ortega controversy, fans urged others not to put public figures and celebrities on a pedestal that they never asked to be on. Have your say in our news democracy.

Kourtney Kardashian kept film crew waiting for 20 minutes while she had sex
Kourtney Kardashian and husband Travis Barker held up the filming of their Hulu reality show while they went off for a sex session. The mid-production 20-minute romp caused filming of the family’s show The Kardashians and left sister Khloe and the rest of the crew waiting. Kardashian and Blink 182’s drummer Barker got married last year, having three separate celebrations to mark their nuptials – in Las Vegas, Palm Springs and Portofino, Italy. The couple has opened up about how they decided to quit IVF and let nature do its own thing. In the first episode of the show’s newest series, Kourtney confided in sister Khloe that she was “ovulating” and needed to go and do the deed with her husband. Kourtney said: “If you give us five minutes to go do something really fast…” Sign up to our free Indy100 weekly newsletter Her sister Khloe responded, asking if she was seriously ovulating. Kourtney replied, “Yes, I am” before going off with her husband Barker. Khloe proceeded to start a timer on her phone and joked, “Well, let’s see if it takes five minutes” and asked her sister to guess the time on the stopwatch when she returned from her escapade. When Kourtney complained of feeling tired later in the day, Khloe suggested: “Probably from having your 20-minute sex session downstairs.” The sisters spoke candidly about their sex lives, with Kournety replying: “Well, we had one this morning for like, an hour and a half, and I had one last night and the day before.” When Khloe asked how they had sex for an hour and a half, Kourtney simply stated: “You know, we’re just living our best lives.” In another part of the show, Kourtney, who has three children with former partner Scott Disick, revealed Barker “would love a baby more than anything but I just really believe in what God has in store for us”.

Nick Cave admits he was 'extremely bored' and 'moved' at the Coronation
Australian singer-songwriter Nick Cave has given his thoughts on attending the King’s Coronation and it’s not exactly a glowing review. On Saturday 6 May, Cave was among the 2,200 guests invited to attend King Charles III’s coronation ceremony at Westminster Abbey. The event was attended by other members of the royal family, politicians, foreign dignitaries, religious figures and celebrities, among others. At the time, Cave defended his decision to attend, saying, “I am not a monarchist, nor am I a royalist, nor am I an ardent republican for that matter,” adding: “I hold an inexplicable emotional attachment to the Royals.” Sign up to our free Indy100 weekly newsletter Now, in an interview with Channel 4 News, Cave has opened up about the event with a mixed review of the day. He said: “I went along to the Coronation entirely out of curiosity and found the whole thing to be acutely interesting, to say the least.” Cave continued, saying: “At sometimes I felt extremely bored, other times completely awestruck by the event, extremely moved by the music. Zadok the Priest was, you know, something from outer space. “Kind of amused by what was going on, angered by what was going on. So it brought up a lot of different sorts of things.” Many fans appreciated Cave’s honesty. One person wrote: “As a long-time fan, I'd recommend this. Nick Cave is never boring.” Another said: “He's an absolute legend!” At the Coronation, Nick Cave became a meme looking very out of place at the elitist event. Have your say in our news democracy.
