George Janko says he's removed himself from Impaulsive's 'toxic environment'
George Janko has opened up to fans about the “toxic environment” on the Impaulsive podcast amid feud rumours between the hosts. Fans began speculating about a rumoured feud back in April after discovering Janko had unfollowed Logan Paul and Mike Majlak on Instagram. The trio used to host the Impaulsive podcast together before Janko appeared to leave and start his own show following Paul’s on-air debate with him about his Christian faith. In an episode of one of his own podcasts, Janko appeared to hint at some of the reasons he left the trio, joking with guest Tana Mongeau about them starting their own podcast together. Janko joked: “That would be f**king hilarious. But, can you just do me a favour? Put me in a spot where no one looks at me or talks to me, so I feel like how I used to feel.” Sign up to our free Indy100 weekly newsletter Now, the former Impaulsive star has addressed concerned fans, reassuring them that he has moved on from the “toxic environment” of the show. He tweeted: “To the Impaulsive fans, I’m so sorry I can’t speak about things! (NOT MY CHOICE) I do love you guys and for those of you sending me the clip of them talking s**t, it’s all love. I’ve already moved on from that toxic environment.” In the comments, fans speculated further about what exactly is going on with the three, apparently former, friends. “Dang they hit bro with an NDA,” one Twitter user speculated. Another said: “Good for this dude. I watched the Shaq episode and the Bobby Lee episode of Impaulsive and Logan&Mike were mad disrespectful to George.” indy100 has contacted Impaulsive for comment.

Pink shares 'embarrassing' nude photo of herself while showering outdoors
Pink has been praised online for her "divine" nude photo during and after her outdoor shower. On Tuesday (30 May), the 'Cover Me in Sunshine' singer did exactly that, with two photos shared to Instagram. The first saw the 43-year-old posed in the sun, sporting a see-through banana bikini and calling herself an "embarrassing mom" in the caption. She wrote: "Lake weekends and a new ridiculous bathing suit. If you haven’t showered outdoors while your husband tries to scare you every five minutes you haven’t lived!!!!!! #embarassingmoms #eyerollsfordays #bananaboobies #imfun #readyfortour." Sign up for our free Indy100 weekly newsletter In the second photo, Pink shared an intimate photo of herself showering outside, where she is completely naked with her hands in the air and nothing but blue scribbles covering her private areas. The post was soon flooded with compliments from friends and fans, with one writing: "How are you so friggin divine? Love that new suit!" "I occasionally forget that I love you, then you post this. I now know again. I love you," another wrote, while a third commented: "If you got it flaunt it. Be proud of yourself." It comes after the mum-of-two dropped her ninth studio album, Trustfall, inspired by a challenging time in her life. Opening up to Good Morning America, Pink said: "I took time. I had time and I had a lot of really devastating things happen. "My son and I got really sick with Covid. That sort of distilled down for me what actually matters." She added: "It takes your kids getting sick to be like, 'Okay, none of this matters. I wanna see my kids grow up. That's what I want.' I want to only put truth into the world. I want to only be authentic. And I want to be kinder and a better person." Have your say in our news democracy.

The 10 biggest reactions to Eamonn Holmes' damning Phillip Schofield interview
Former ITV presenter Eamonn Holmes has sparked a big reaction following his damning interview with GB News about Phillip Schofield. Holmes and Schofield were former colleagues on ITV’s morning TV show This Morning before Holmes left the show in December 2021. In a tell-all interview, after it emerged publicly that Schofield was having an affair with a male staff member many years his junior and resigned from ITV, Holmes accused the TV network of a “cover-up” and said Schofield created a “toxic” atmosphere. In an interview with Dan Wootton on GB News, Holmes claimed that the younger male colleague would be “delivered from Philip’s London home” to the ITV studio in a car after having stayed at his London home “in cars paid for by ITV”. Holmes also claimed that the affair was “known by virtually every staff member both on and off screen” and that ITV covered it up until Schofield made the admission himself in a statement. In his interview, Holmes said: “Those in authority had to know what was going on and they thought they would dodge a bullet with this.” Sign up to our free Indy100 weekly newsletter The bombshell interview prompted some to discuss their thoughts on the whole saga and left some questioning why it is only now that Holmes has decided to speak up about it. “I love watching Eamonn Holmes struggling to pair the ‘I knew nothing’ with the ‘I knew everything’ Schofield narrative. Pick one or the other Eamonn FFS.” Another said: “This whole Schofield saga shows just what an empty house of cards this whole media industry is, and reveals what a bunch of nasty narcissists they all are. “Not just Schofield, but Eamonn Holmes, Dan Wootton, Dr Ranj, Holly Willoughby, all of them self-serving fakes.” Meanwhile, others congratulated Holmes for speaking up. Someone tweeted: “@EamonnHolmes brilliant interview with @danwootton. Get it all out there for an enquiry which obvs needs investigating. “Eamonn would have never gone down this road if he feared it would bite him on the bum. Time for a change @itv @thismorning well done for speaking the truth.” Another argued: “You can be disgusted by Philip Schofield and still be fed up [with] Dan Wooton, Eamonn Holmes, Dr Ranj and every other cretin jumping on this story for five minutes there’s nothing to be gained by ‘telling your truth’ now too little too late.” Have your say in our news democracy.

Offset sends fans into frenzy with intimate Cardi B video on Instagram stories
Rapper Offset has raised eyebrows and sparked a flurry of memes after sharing a very intimate video of himself and his partner and fellow rapper Cardi B on Instagram. The 31-year-old, real name Kiari Kendrell Cephus, known for hits such as 'Ric Flair Drip' and 'Ghostface Killers' has been married to Cardi B, real name Belcalis Marlenis Almánzar Cephus since 2017 and although their relationship is far from perfect they are now at a stage where they can comfortably share their most intimate moments with the world. In the Instagram story, Offset can be seen caressing Cardi's tattooed backside with great affection. With one hand planted firmly on her bottom, his wife asks him: "Did you have a good day?" Sign up to our free Indy100 weekly newsletter Offset simply replies "Yes" before he adds: "I missed you so much" before the video comes to a swift end. And that is that, however, given the popularity of the two people involved the story has no doubt been watched countless times given the amount of memes that now exist about it. It should be no surprise that the couple's relationship is stronger than ever. In a recent interview with Variety Offset called Cardi B his "bestie" adding "We both are on the same mission to make each other better."

Kim Kardashian accused of 'acting middle class' following comments about her kids
Kim Kardashian is used to facing criticism by now and is once again being called out by fans after making a comment about struggling to raise four kids with ‘no one there’. Last week, the Skims founder went on Jay Shetty’s podcast On Purpose. After their very public divorce, Kim has been openly talking about being a single mother, raising her and Kanye West’s four children. Talking about the struggles of co-parenting, Kim shared that she can find it very difficult to parent her children and manage their mood swings with ‘no one there’ to help her out. Sign up to our free Indy100 weekly newsletter She added that parent "has been the most challenging thing." She told Shetty "there are nights I cry myself to sleep, like, 'what just happened?' With all the moods and the personalities." "Sometimes, it’s nights where we are going hour by house to see if we’re gonna survive. Night by night. If a tantrum comes in, oh my god. Your life is completely upside down," she shared. The internet were divided by Kim’s comments, with many noting the multiple nannies that Kim is often surrounded by, and that she failed to acknowledge that compared to average mothers she has a lot more support. With some accusing the billionaire of pretending to be 'middle class'. One person wrote: "She also talks as if she doesn’t have a full staff of people helping her wtf." Another added: "Kim has four nannies, one assigned to each kid. Motherhood is not hard. Nannies are raising her kids. She needs [to] stop trying to act like she’s middle class." However, others came to Kim’s defense saying that money and help doesn’t make being a mother any easier, especially a single mother. Fans said that her feelings and pain were valid and that she is still human. One person said: "She may be extremely successful, and [has] nannies…but what she speaks about with four kids and one mama…is spot on." Another wote: "Even though she’s a multimillionaire and famous, her story and her pain is still valid. She’s a human like the rest of us, and she’s allowed to feel and suffer, too."
