"If you want to do a charity fight, anything, MMA, boxing, I don't really give a s*** because I'm literally a giant compared to you." Click here to sign up for our newsletters

Kim Kardashian fans think they know why she was drinking Guinness in a pub
Fans are convinced they have uncovered the real reason why Kim Kardashian was spotted drinking Guinness in a London pub back in March. For the blissfully unaware, the reality star went viral, once again, after images of her sipping a pint circulated online. The photo was seemingly for St Patricks Day but was later exposed as a set-up when a new angle popped up on Twitter. The updated post showed an entire camera crew surrounding Kardashian. The tweet caption read: "Disappointed to learn that this was the Insta vs reality of Kim K in the pub." One person responded: "I mean…. Maybe a couple of cameras I expected, but this crew is almost taking up the whole bar haha and that’s not counting security etc.." But now, fans believe they've uncovered the real motive behind the not-so-candid snap. It was recently announced that the mother-of-four will be playing a character named Siobhan in season 12 of American Horror Story, which led people to jokingly believe she was "method acting" the entire time due to Siobhan being an Irish name. Sign up for our free Indy100 weekly newsletter "It's giving Rathmines," one person wrote, while another joked: "She was doing research here." Meanwhile, a third wrote: "That's why she was in a pub on saint Patrick's day she's a method actor." Kardashian appears to have started filming for the show, after popular account DeuxMoi shared a rooftop scene of her and co-star Emma Roberts in New York. She was seen sporting a long leather trench coat, with her hair styled in a ponytail. The pair walked across the rooftop before sitting down on a sofa and having a conversation. "Looks like a regular scene from Keeping Up With The Kardashians," one person responded, while another added: "I am guessing she is playing someone very close to who she actually is."

Lizzo threatens to 'quit' music in response to 'bulls**t' fatphobic comments about her
Lizzo has threatened to quit music after being hit with horrific comments about her weight "daily". The 'About Damn Time' singer has been vocal about trolls in the past but on Wednesday (31 May) shared several examples in a string of now-private tweets. "I JUST logged on [to] the app and this is the type of s*** I see about me on a daily basis," she wrote on Twitter. She included a post from one brutal critic Layah Hailpern, who said: "How is Lizzo still THIS fat when she’s constantly moving this much on stage?! I wonder what she must be eating." Sign up for our free Indy100 weekly newsletter Lizzo went on to say "Then someone in the comments said I eat ‘lots of fast food,' before exclaiming how she "literally stopped eating fast food years ago." She explained how she's "tired of explaining myself all the time and I just wanna get on this app w/out seeing my name in some bulls***". A separate post saw the star react to another comment, reading: "I don’t think Lizzie wants to be smaller... yet... If she did, she would be. It’s her brand." Lizzo hit back: "This is what my body looks like even when I’m eating super clean and working out. Y’all speak on s*** y’all know NOTHING ABOUT and I’m starting to get heated." The 35-year-old continued: "The Love definitely do not outweigh the Hate on social media... all because I’m fat???? This is CRAZY. "I HATE IT HERE," she fumed, before threatening to quit music. "Y’all don’t know how close I be to giving up on everyone and quitting and enjoying my money and my man on a F***ING FARM." Have your say in our news democracy.

Laura Woods says she gets asked very strange questions whenever people see her feet
Laura Woods is one of the best in the game when it comes to presenting live sport, but she’s had to put up with a lot of nonsense from viewers over the years. The 35-year-old has said she receives strange questions from time to time – and most of them relate to her feet. Woods spoke about the fact that the most bizarre DMs she receives from fans always tend to arrive after her feet are seen on Instagram or during a live broadcast. Appearing on Sam Thompson and Pete Wicks’ podcast Staying Relevant, Woods said: "Every time I have no shoes on in a photo, the amount of people that say I've got boat feet. Sign up to our free Indy100 weekly newsletter "They're a size seven which is a UK average for a woman by the way. [I get] 'How big are your f***ing boats?' And I'm like ‘they're not that big.’" Woods even has her own profile on Wikifeet - a website for celebrity foot fetishists - which fans have put together using pictures from her social media pages. Woods isn’t afraid to respond to fans, either. "I've replied a couple of times [to negative messages] about people's manhood... but it's only ever a retaliation,” she said. "I never understand when people say, 'Oh but you can't say that'. Am I a sitting duck? Just because I'm a broadcaster, you're allowed to say anything you want about me and as soon as I reply - and I will win, like I'm very stubborn about things like that - I will f***ing fight to the death." Meanwhile, Woods got more than she bargained for during a recent radio phone-in, after a Premier League star admitted he had a crush on her live on air. Have your say in our news democracy.
