Amber Rose and Julianne Hough squash body-shaming beef



Amber Rose and Julianne Hough squash body-shaming beef


Amber Rose and Julianne Hough have buried the hatchet.
Following her performance with partner Maksim Chmerkovskiy on Monday’s episode of “Dancing with the Stars,” Rose addressed remarks made by Hough last week in whichRose felt the judge body-shamed her.
“When you said [‘I feel a little uncomfortable’], I felt very embarrassed,” the 32-year-old model said. “And I felt like you weren’t talking about my dance. But if I misunderstood, then I apologize. I’m a very positive person. I don’t like to argue or bicker or make things weird.”
Before she critiqued Rose’s routine, Hough cleared up the confusion surrounding her previous commentary.
“I would like to say one thing, also,” the 28-year-old began. “The thing I love so much about dance is that it’s a universal platform for people to express themselves. Any person — whether that is age, height, body shape, ethnicity or sexual orientation — it is something that people can express themselves to do. And for me, I am a huge supporter of that and that alone and as a judge, I’m here to solely judge you and everyone in this competition for only the dancing. I want you to know that.”
Rose initially complained about Hough’s commentary Thursday during her “Loveline with Amber Rose” podcast.
“Last night … they did the commentary, and I — it was a point in the dance where I had to lift my leg up and Maks dipped me and [Julianne] said, ‘Oh, I’m uncomfortable,’ and instantly I felt — I did feel body-shamed,” Rose said.
“You know, all the beautiful professional dancers that are on ‘Dancing with the Stars,’ I mean — they dress very sexy, and they do the splits and they grind up on these guys, and they look absolutely stunning and get a standing ovation,” she continued. “And me, and my body, my hips, my ass, my breasts made her uncomfortable.”
Hough denied Rose’s accusations.
“To be clear, that was a produced package, not live coverage and they can put those sound bites anywhere,” she explained to E! News. “My ‘uncomfortable’ comment was about the fact that I felt like I wanted more out of the performance — when someone is doing a hot, sexy dance like that without the right amount of energy that is required, it can be uncomfortable to watch.”

Frank Ocean new album: How to listen and stream Boys Don’t Cry when it drops

After two missed release dates a year apart and a confusing decoy of a “live stream” video, Frank Ocean is set to finally release his second album,  Boys Don’t Cry , on Friday 5 August. It will be launched through an exclusive deal with Apple Music, according to the  New York Times , who cite a ‘person with knowledge of the release plans’. If indeed this is the case (and it would make sense, that live stream has an Apple watermark), it means you’ll need to sign up for Apple Music to listen to the  Channel Orange  follow-up, which costs £9.99 a month (£4.99 for students through Apple’s UNiDAYS promotion). You might want to turn off auto-renewal off though (Apple Music app > profile icon > View Apple ID. > Subscriptions > Manage > switch Auto-Renewal off), if you’re the kind of person who, like me, is liable to forget that you’ve signed up for the service indefinitely. Beyond Apple Music...

Why My Chemical Romance's 'The Black Parade' Was The 'Sgt Pepper' Of The Emo Generation

Secret (or not so secret) noughties emos rejoice! Grab some black hair dye and vow to disown your parents all over again! Because  My Chemical Romance  look  set to reissue an expanded version of 'The Black Parade' , their third and most successful album, for its 10 year anniversary (yes, you really are  that  old).  The news last night, stoked by a  mysterious video  teased on the band's long-dormant Twitter page, was enough to rev some sections of the internet into a frenzy. But what's all the fuss about? Well, the album in question wasn't just the band's best, nor just most succinct album of its genre, it was one of the most important records of the last decade.  An  "ostentatious concept-album-cum-rock-opera about death" , as we described it upon its release, the record is a bombastic tour-de-force that took cues from Green Day's 'American Idiot' (both albums were recorded with the same producer) but sounded nothing like its...
