  • Danielle Fishel Speaks out to Haters Who Slam Her Marriage and Weight,Maitland Ward of 'Boy Meets World' Believes That
    Danielle Fishel Speaks Out to Haters Who Slam Her Marriage and Weight By Gabby Robles Danielle Fishel came back to the Hollywood scene strong last Sunday, the day after she married her husband Tim Belusko. According to People, the Boy Meets World actress tweeted online slammers who hated on her for her weight on her wedding day and for marrying a younger man! She continued to tweet the haters on Tuesday. What are some ways to keep gossip from affecting your relationship? Cupid’s Advice: Unfortunately, some people love to hate on others. You have to always go on with a strong sense of positivity, but it can be hard. The biggest thing you want to do is make sure that the gossip stays away from your relationship. Cupid has some advice on how to hush up the haters: 1. Keep your head up: Don’t let people bring down your success. If you are both happy, you know you’re doing something right. If you’re relationship is thriving and is exactly what you want, so don’t let anyone try to knock you down. 2. Remain strong together: You and your boo can silence the gossip by not letting it bother you. People might have bad things to say, but it is none of their business — and definitely not their relationship! Ignore those who bring you negative energy or who want to see you fail. 3. Get through it together: Gossip can really take its toll on a situation. Make sure that you both are on the same page and are there to listen to each other if it starts to get to you.

  • Sabrina Refinery
    August 5, 2019 The Come-Up: Sabrina Carpenter on Ghosting, Grieving & Growing Up World, meet girl. Sabrina Carpenter is putting her Disney days — and her teens — behind her with a new album and a new outlook. Sabrina Carpenter has turned the Toronto set of her Refinery29 photo shoot into her own mini music video. She’s laying on the white studio floor as the photographer, camera in hand, hovers above her. Carpenter is gracefully voguing and lip synching into the lens every word of “Keep On” by Kehlani. The playlist is curated to her likes (Beyoncé, Christina Aguilera, SZA, etc.) and she bounces through the set barefoot, cracking jokes with the crew and exuding the confidence of someone who has been dancing around photoshoots since her early teens. When she and I meet I go in for the handshake while she goes for the embrace. “Sorry, I’m a hugger,” she says, laughing, her deep voice belying the former Disney star’s barely-5- foot stature. She’s wearing Look #4 of the day, an ankle-grazing pink pleated skirt paired with a neon green and purple turtleneck. I tell her she’s way more composed than I was as a shy 20-year-old, and she deadpans, “I’m an actress. That’s what I want you to think.” If Carpenter is faking her maturity, I can’t tell. She keeps up her poise for most of the five-hour photo shoot (she fits us in on her day off from filming the Netflix dance film, Work It), breaking only when she’s huddled in a corner with her sister, Sarah, giggling at videos on her phone in between takes.
