    On October 28, actor Matthew Perry, popularly known for his portrayal of Chandler Bing on ’90s sitcom Friends, passed away.
    The news shocked the entertainment fraternity and his fans across the globe. His cast-mates of a decade from the show, including Courteney Cox, Jennifer Aniston, Lisa Kudrow, Matt LeBlanc and David Schwimmer were seen grieving their sudden loss at his funeral.
    After weeks of processing this tragedy in private, the OG 5 from Friends took to Instagram to share their thoughts and pay a loving tribute to the late actor.
    Starting with Joey, followed by Monica, Phoebe, Rachel and Ross – the beloved group from the Central Perk coffee house, mourned their loss. Their words about the actor went beyond the camaraderie they shared on-screen – let’s take a look at each of their heart-warming posts.
    Matt LeBlanc

    “Matthew, It is with a heavy heart I say goodbye. The times we had together are honestly among the favorite times of my life. It was an honor to share the stage with you and to call you my friend. I will always smile when I think of you and I’ll never forget you. Never. Spread your wings and fly brother you’re finally free. Much love. And I guess you’re keeping the 20 bucks you owe me.”
    Courteney Cox

    “I am so grateful for every moment I had with you Matty and I miss you every day. When you work with someone as closely as I did with Matthew, there are thousands of moments I wish I could share. For now here’s one of my favorites. To give a little backstory, Chandler and Monica were supposed to have a one night fling in London. But because of the audience’s reaction, it became the beginning of their love story. In this scene, before we started rolling, he whispered a funny line for me to say.
    He often did things like that. He was funny and he was kind. ️”
    Jennifer Aniston

    “Oh boy this one has cut deep… Having to say goodbye to our Matty has been an insane wave of emotions that I’ve never experienced before. We all experience loss at some point in our lives. Loss of life or loss of love. Being able to really SIT in this grief allows you to feel the moments of joy and gratitude for having loved someone that deep. And we loved him deeply. He was such a part of our DNA. We were always the 6 of us. This was a chosen family that forever changed the course of who we were and what our path was going to be. For Matty, he KNEW he loved to make people laugh. As he said himself, if he didn’t hear the ‘laugh’ he thought he was going to die. His life literally depended on it. And boy did he succeed in doing just that. He made all of us laugh. And laugh hard. In the last couple weeks, I’ve been poring over our texts to one another. Laughing and crying then laughing again. I’ll keep them forever and ever. I found one text that he sent me out of nowhere one day. It says it all. (See the second slide…)
    Matty, I love you so much and I know you are now completely at peace and out of any pain. I talk to you every day… sometimes I can almost hear you saying “could you BE any crazier?”
    Rest little brother.You always made my day…”
    David Schwimmer

    “Matty,
    Thank you for ten incredible years of laughter and creativity.
    I will never forget your impeccable comic timing and delivery. You could take a straight line of dialogue and bend it to your will, resulting in something so entirely original and unexpectedly funny it still astonishes.
    And you had heart. Which you were generous with, and shared with us, so we could create a family out of six strangers.
    This photo is from one of my favorite moments with you. Now it makes me smile and grieve at the same time.
    I imagine you up there, somewhere, in the same white suit, hands in your pockets, looking around—
    “Could there BE any more clouds?”
    Lisa Kudrow

    “Shot the pilot, Friends Like Us, got picked up then immediately, we were at the NBC Upfronts. Then…You suggested we play poker AND made it so much fun while we initially bonded. Thank you for that.Thank you for making me laugh so hard at something you said, that my muscles ached, and tears poured down my face EVERY DAY.Thank you for your open heart in a six way relationship that required compromise. And a lot of “talking.”Thank you for showing up at work when you weren’t well and then, being completely brilliant.Thank you for the best 10 years a person gets to have.Thank you for trusting me.Thank you for all I learned about GRACE and LOVE through knowing you.Thank you for the time I got to have with you, Matthew.”

    The 40th edition of the MTV VMAs commenced last night and before the music industry’s brightest stars graced the stage with their unforgettable performances, they lit up the red carpet with their stunning fashion choices.
    Throughout the years, the VMAs red carpet has been a canvas for fashion statements that have left us speechless. From Lil’ Kim’s daring one-sleeve purple jumpsuit complete with a memorable nipple pasty in 1999 to to Lady Gaga’s unforgettable meat dress designed by Franc Fernandez in 2010 – the VMAs have consistently delivered unexpected and iconic fashion moments.
    Leading the pack with a remarkable 8 nominations is the sensational Taylor Swift, followed closely by SZA with 6 nominations. The likes of Olivia Rodrigo, Miley Cyrus, Sam Smith, and Kim Petras are not far behind, each boasting 5 nominations. This year, we celebrate Shakira as she receives the prestigious Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award, making history as the first Latin American artist to be honored. Additionally, we’ll see Diddy take the stage to accept the Global Icon Award, a well-deserved recognition of his legendary contributions to the music industry.
    Take a stroll with us through the glitz and glamour as we unveil the sartorial selections of Selena Gomez, Taylor Swift, Olivia Rodrigo, and more, as they kicked off one of the most anticipated nights in music.

    From Selena Gomes to Jennifer Lawrence: 15 celebrities at Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour

    It wouldn’t be a reach to call Taylor Swift the celebrity of celebrities.
    Her Eras Tour is undoubtedly the most sought-after concert of the year and ever yday a host of A-listers can be spotted lipsyncing the bridge from ‘Cruel Summer’ in their VIP boxes.
    If you think it’s just Taylor’s girl gang from the glamour world who are assembling to show their support, you’ve got it wrong. Celebrities across ages, streams and even countries are now taking pride in being called Swifties.
    Some are boasting their #GirlDad skills by whipping out their best glitter eye makeup *cough Channing Tatum cough* while others are making a night around town out of it celebrating their new single life.
    From the boho-chic costumes inspired by all of Taylor’s albums to cluttering their arms with a beaded bracelet, celebrities are just like us. It is a sight to behold when these famous names from around the world are spotted exchanging arm jewels with the original Swifties in the stadiums.
    Taylor’s a girl’s girl and her tour is a testament to female friendship and the bond of womanhood (even if they are strangers). While concerts lately have been in the news for rowdy crowds and their inappropriate behaviour with the artists, it is refreshing to see celebrities and other swifties just singing the multiple bridges of her songs in harmony.
    One such video that recently went viral was of Taylor’s best friend and fellow music stalwart, Selena Gomez. In the video, the Rare beauty founder was seen holding her sister Gracies close, as they sang the lines to the iconic song ‘Lover’. Now isn’t this what music should be all about?

    Scroll the above gallery to view 15 celebrities having the time of their lives at Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour 2023:

    Bella Hadid and 5 other celebrities who have been vocal about their health battles

    Bella Hadid has been MIA not just from social media but also from the world of fashion.
    The supermodel was a part of every major campaign, runway show and even the most viral moments of 2022 (remember the iconic live spray painting during the Coperni show?). But ever since the beginning of 2023, the Palestinian-Dutch model has taken a sabbatical from work because of health reasons.
    For a few years now, the younger Hadid sister has been vocal about her battle with Lyme disease. An illness she has been living with for over 15 years. Bella along with her mother Yolanda and brother Anwar, all suffer from this medical condition.
    Lyme disease is a tick-borne illness caused by the bacterium Borrelia burgdorferi. It often leads to symptoms like fever, fatigue, headache, and a characteristic “bull’s-eye” rash. Early detection and treatment with antibiotics are crucial to prevent more severe complications. If you suspect you have Lyme disease, it’s important to consult a medical professional.

    Recently, after a long hiatus, the 26-year-old model took to Instagram to share a positive update with her followers. “Living in this state, worsening with time and work while trying to make myself, my family and the people who support me, proud, had taken a toll on me in ways I can’t really explain. To be that sad and sick with the most blessings/privilege/opportunity/love around me was quite possibly the most confusing thing ever. one thing I want to express to you all is that 1: I am okay and you do not have to worry, ♥️and 2:I wouldn’t change anything for the world. If I had to go through all of this again, to get here, to this exact moment I’m in right now, with all of you, finally healthy, I would do it all again. It made me who I am today.”
    The Kin Euphorics founder spoke about the importance of health, a supportive enviroment and how important it was for her to keep it real and transparent.
    While social media is infamous for showing us the glossy side of the celebrity lives, over the years many of them have come forward and spoken openly about their health condition. It is vital to lift the veil of illusion around the perfectionism that is often associated with the celebrity culture.
    Scroll the above gallery to see all the brave celebrities who have been open about their struggles with various illnesses.

    A stage name has the power to make or break a career.

    From Grammy award-winning singers to actors on the big screen, a myriad of celebrities are now known by a name different to their birth certificate. The artistic name was born to create a character and simply stand out from the rest.
