A female bodybuilder, who some have called "Kendall Jenner on steroids", has opened up about her five-figure-a-month salary on OnlyFans. Model Vladislava Galagan started training 11 years ago, before competing in bodybuilding competitions in 2018. The 27-year-old soon developed a social media following with her frequent training videos and model shots. This prompted her to set up an OnlyFans account, with fans likening her to Kendall Jenner. "I sell this image of being good-looking and muscular and combine it and with a little erotic," she said, adding that she also uploads arm wrestling videos. "When I joined social media, I learnt there are so many men who like tall, strong muscular women with a nice face too." She added: "I am constantly told I look like 'Kendall Jenner on steroids'. Sign up for our free Indy100 weekly newsletter Vladislava has adhered to a strict diet and workout routine since she began competing in bodybuilding competitions over a decade ago. She goes to the gym at least six times per week - working out for around an hour and a half each time - and eats a protein-heavy diet. She eats four meals a day to make sure she eats over 100g of protein - favouring protein-rich foods such as beef, eggs, turkey, chicken and fish. She also takes performance-enhancing drugs to help maximise her efforts - but says there's no "magic pill" and it must be coupled with a consistent diet and training. She visits the gym six days a week and trains each muscle group twice a week as well as having three cardio sessions a week. In 2016, Vladislava opened an Instagram account and began sharing her gym progress pictures. She also began doing fitness modelling - and due to her toned physique she fed into a particular "fetish around muscly women". As well as contributing to a platform called 'Her Biceps' - specifically for female bodybuilders - she set up an OnlyFans and Patreon for people to subscribe to her exclusive content. She said: "I'm muscular and good-looking, it sells really well. "So many people think it's CGI or photoshop, but it's not. "I wear see-through lingerie, leather and latex, but I don’t do anything explicit - I just imply. "I also do arm wrestling videos - people like those." As her subscription platforms and her social media grew, there was one particular recurring comment. She said she is told daily that she looks like a muscly version of Kendall Jenner. On TikTok, examples include one user who commented "@kendalljenner got f***ing jacked" while another said "she's like a buff Kendall.... I'm all for it." A third commented: "Face of Kendall Jenner, body of Chris Evans [from Captain America]." She said she receives these comments daily - although she doesn't personally agree. She said: "I don't really know how they see it. I guess there are some similarities. "It's not how I brand myself, but they like a mix of my face and my body." Thanks to "hitting the sweet spot" by combining looks and physique, she takes home five-figure paychecks each month from her OnlyFans and Patreon. She added: "I feel like I won the lottery."

Viral trends are nothing if not unpredictable, so we shouldn’t be surprised that a six-year-old hospital drama has suddenly been thrust into the limelight. The Good Doctor – which stars Feddie Highmore as an autistic medic with savant syndrome – has been running since 2017, but it’s taken until now for it to really catch the attention of social media. A scene from season two of the ABC series is taking the likes of TikTok and Twitter by storm. It shows our protagonist, Dr Shaun Murphy (Highmore), passionately shouting: “I am a surgeon!” And of course, the beauty of viral memes is their total separation from any context, enabling us to apply them to the scenario of our choice. Sign up for our free Indy100 weekly newsletter But it’s still interesting to know the source of these snippets. In this case, Dr Murphy’s outburst comes from an episode titled ‘Breakdown’ in which he confronts his boss, the hospital’s chief of surgery, Dr Jackson Han. Earlier in the series, Han had relegated Murphy to lab work. But, after successfully saving the life of a patient, the younger doc wants his job back. After all, he is a surgeon. @hnjiaajuz14 #movie #foryou #riddit #fypシ #pyf Since going viral, the scene has undergone a series of extreme edits, featuring SpongeBob, laser eyes, and catchy remixes. And whilst Dr Han (played by Daniel Dae Kim), is basically the show’s heartless baddie, he’s also become the internet’s favourite heartthrob. Still, the show isn’t without its critics, with many condemning the simplistic portrayal of autism as a kind of adorably awkward superpower. Another clip that’s been doing the rounds, taken from a season one episode titled ‘She’, shows Murphy confounded while treating a trans patient. The implication that his ignorant tactlessness is a result of his autism hasn’t sat well with viewers, and was called out well before ‘The Good Doctor’ became a darling of the meme circuit. Still, most people are just enjoying the random beauty of the show’s sudden virality. Thanks to these mystifying algorithms, anything can blow up on your timeline: good (doctor) or bad.

During the King’s Coronation, a choir sang a song for the new Queen Camilla and everyone is saying the same thing about what it sounds like. On Saturday 6 May, King Charles III was officially crowned alongside The Queen, Camilla at a ceremony at Westminster Abbey in London. The ceremony, steeped in tradition and ritual, featured many musical interludes from various choirs and it was during one song that people thought they heard the word “vagina” being sung. In a viral TikTok clip by @the_two_games, which has been viewed over 29 million times, Camilla could be seen inside the abbey slowly making her way down an aisle between a choir whose members stood on either side. Text overlaying the clip read, “Please tell me you hear ‘I LIKE VAGINA CAMILLA’” and the person filming the TV could be heard laughing in the background. Sign up to our free Indy100 weekly newsletter @the_two_games I LIKE VAGINA CAMILLA! #coronation #kingcharles #comedy #fyp #england #king #camilla #camillaparkerbowles It’s safe to say that the TikToker who shared the post wasn’t the only person to mishear to song. Someone else commented: “I was thinking that too when I watched it.” Another said: “I CAN HEAR IT TOO.” “I thought I was the only one that thought this when I watched it live,” one comment read. On Twitter, others said the NSFW words were firmly stuck in their head. Someone tweeted: “After 14 vodkas ‘I like vagina Camilla is on a loop in my head and I can’t stop laughing.” Obviously, the choir was not singing about vagina, but was instead singing the words “Vivat Regina Camila!”. This means, “Long Live Queen Camilla” in Latin. Mystery solved. Have your say in our news democracy.

Australian Facebook is up in arms over a letter from an "upset" vegan. Someone from Perth, received a letter from a vegan neighbour complaining about the meaty smells emanating from her kitchen. Sign up to our free Indy100 weekly newsletter It read: "Hello neighbour, could you please shut your side window when cooking please. "My family are vegan (we eat only plant-based foods) and the smell of the meat you cook makes us feel sick and upset. We would appreciate your understanding. Thanks, Sarah, Wayne and kids." But people were divided about whether the request was reasonable or not after the note circulated on Facebook. One said: "I feel like this was a genuinely polite letter, and it’s true to smell of meat is overpowering. It would be nice to see some respect for your neighbours, and not publicly trying to shame them for holding strong ethical morals." "This is the like the nicest way they could possibly ask," another said. "What is wrong with some people?! They’re simply asking for a different window to be open that isn’t adjacent to their home. Gosh, some people just like to complain I swear." But others were less generous. One wrote: "I’d be cooking up bacon and steak every day and putting a fan behind it and directing it out the window!" "If they don’t like the smell then they can close their window," another said. Have your say in our news democracy.

Anything can go wrong during a live stream. And while some streamers intentionally bend the rules for views, other incidents are completely unexpected. Take the recent episode of the Pitchside podcast by YouTubers Reev, Theo Baker, and Tom Garratt. Theo and Tom had an arm wrestling match during the stream ahead of watching Newcastle United vs Arsenal in the Premier League on Sunday. What was supposed to be a bit of fun took a horrific turn when Tom's arm snapped. Sign up for our free Indy100 weekly newsletter "Oh f**k," he said, completely stunned. The Pitchside co-hosts were equally as mortified and went for help. Chris Dixon a guest on the show, later turned to Twitter to update fans on Tom's condition. "Quite an achievement to make the worst sound ever heard on Pitchside with Theo’s football opinions. Tom is okay, in A&E now," he posted. Theo also followed suit with a photo of Tom in the hospital, writing: "Hi guys, Tom's had his X-ray and has broken his humerus. He says anything for the content!" Fans turned to Twitter to send Tom their best wishes, while others commented on the disaster. "This is why I can’t even watch an arm wrestle anymore I feel sick," one person wrote, while another added: "Getting your arm snapped by Theo Baker has to be a new low." "I seriously hope he’s alright," one fan responded on Twitter. "That looked and sounded mad painful. However… Having your arm broken by Theo Baker of all people is not something you’re gonna live down any time soon." A fourth added: "Honestly don’t understand how people see this happen and ever arm wrestle again." Have your say in our news democracy.

King Charles III coronation this weekend was an entertaining occasion that sparked memes, speculation about the might of Penny Mordaunt's triceps, and criticism for the enormous cost and arrests of republican protesters. But the show was partially overshadowed by a mysterious cloaked figure who appeared during the event, which social media users compared to the grim reaper. In videos of the proceedings posted on Twitter and TikTok, a hooded figure wearing black and holding a stick is seen quickly walking past the open door of Westminster Abbey outside. Sign up to our free Indy100 weekly newsletter Social media users who spotted the figure immediately came up with jokes, with some saying the figure was the late Queen Elizabeth II, or the late Princess Diana, or the grim reaper and others just finding it totally baffling. But there is a simple explanation. When contacted by Newsweek, Westminster Abbey identified the figure as a verger, a member of the abbey community who assists with religious services but who is not a member of the clergy. So there is nothing scary to see here. Have your say in our news democracy. Click the upvote icon at the top of the page to help raise this article through the indy100 rankings.

An influencer has revealed that she ate her own knee cartilage during a romantic spaghetti bolognese dinner with her fella. Paula Gonu had to undergo an operation after suffering an injury. After the surgery, the doctor asked Paula if she wanted to keep her meniscus. The 30-year-old - who has over two million followers on Instagram - said yes and then whipped it up into the dish. She made the revelation during an interview on the Club 113 podcast on YouTube. The doc asked her if she wanted a general or local anaesthetic and she plumped for the latter. She wanted to see the screen while the op took place. Paula, who comes from Badalona, near Barcelona, in Spain, said: “He used a camera. Sign up to our new free Indy100 weekly newsletter He operated through two holes and it was all up on the screen. “He explained everything to me as he operated.” Regarding her taking the cartilage home, she said: “I told him ‘Yes’ and he put what he removed into a small container like those used for urine samples. “He put it in alcohol so it would stay that way for as long as I wanted. “A week later, I was with my partner at the time, having a jokey conversation. “I told him I wanted to eat it because it was part of me and I had to put it back in my body.” She added: “Then I made a Bolognese and put it in and we ate it. “I wanted to be able to say in my head that I’ve eaten a piece of my own meniscus.” The influencer justified her decision by saying that everyone has eaten the bones, cartilage and body parts of “worse animals.” One fan commented: “I'm an Italian near Bologna. How did you put the meniscus in the ragu?” “My stomach hurt. Now it hurts even more. Thank you,” wrote another. Gerard said: “I really have to close TikTok now.” Nicole joked: “I once ate a booger.” Sofia remarked: “If it's mine, yes, I’d eat it, but from another person, no way.

A hotel manager has been accused of entering a guest's room and sucking on his toes while asleep. Metro Nashville Police Department charged David Neal, 52, with aggravated burglary and assault after reportedly cloning a keycard and letting himself into the room of Peter Brennan. Brennan told WTVF he was sleeping at the Hilton Downtown Nashville hotel when the alleged assault happened. "I was in Nashville for a work conference," he said. "I awoke to a gentleman, an employee of the Hilton, assaulting me." "I instantly jumped up and was screaming. Went into sort of fact-finding mode. Who are you? Why are you in my room? What are you doing here? "I could see he was wearing a uniform, he had his name tag on. He was talking to me but not giving me any substantive answers." Neal admitted entering the room but told officers he could smell smoke. Brennan claims the alleged assault has left him with PTSD and trouble sleeping. "I still don’t really feel safe in my own home," he said. Sign up for our free Indy100 weekly newsletter Now, Brennan plans on suing the hotel. Michelle Myers, a spokesperson for Hilton, told News Channel 5: "Hilton Nashville Downtown is independently owned and operated by a third party and no Hilton entity employs staff at this property. The safety and security of our guests is our top priority and Hilton takes matters such as these very seriously." The local manager added: "The safety and security of our guests and team members is our highest priority. We are working closely with the Metropolitan Nashville Police Department, and, as part of company policy, we do not comment on ongoing investigations." Have your say in our news democracy.

Despite receiving significant criticism over a video in which he helped treat 1,000 people’s blindness, popular YouTuber Jimmy “MrBeast” Donaldson has doubled down on making videos about ‘helping’ disabled people with a new upload in which he helps 1,000 deaf people “hear for the first time”. In a video shared to his 150 million subscriber strong YouTube channel on Saturday (6 May), Donaldson can be heard listing the names of individuals he bought hearing aids for, adding that he also helped “entire families hear their loved ones again”. “But they are only a few of the 1,000 people that we’re going to help hear again today,” he said. Alongside the hearing technology – which only simulates the sensation of hearing, and does not ‘fix’ or ‘cure’ deafness – Donaldson also handed out briefcases full of cash in true MrBeast fashion. Though in one bizarre exchange, the content creator asks one individual: “Which is better, hearing or the 10 grand?” We’re not sure you should be pitting something as important as hearing against something as life-changing as $10,000, Jimmy, but we move… Sign up to our free Indy100 weekly newsletter Yet while fans of MrBeast have described the video – which the internet personality says required “almost 4,000 hours of editing” and is going to “change YouTube” – as “amazing” and “emotional”, actual Deaf people are far from convinced: Some have even branded the video “inspiration porn” – a term coined by the late disability activist Stella Young during a TEDx talk in Sydney in 2014. After listing a series of images and examples which fit this description, Young said: “I use the term ‘porn’ deliberately, because they objectify one group of people for the benefit of another group of people. So in this case, we’re objectifying disabled people for the benefit of non-disabled people. “The purpose of these images is to inspire you, to motivate you, so that we can look at them and think, ‘Well, however bad my life is, it could be worse. I could be that person’.” Since MrBeast’s video was released, other Twitter users have dismissed concerned individuals as “haters” and made deaf ‘jokes’ about the video – including that the news is something they “love to hear”. Yes, really. Although MrBeast is yet to respond to the latest backlash, he did issue a comment when similar concern was levied at his video about blind people. He tweeted: “Twitter – Rich people should help others with their money. “Me – Okay, I’ll use my money to help people and I promise to give away all my money before I die. Every single penny. “Twitter – MrBeast bad.” Good to know he takes reasonable feedback seriously… indy100 has approached MrBeast for comment. Have your say in our news democracy.
