Lewis Capaldi is prepared to quit music for the sake of his mental health but would hate if he had to stop performing for fans.

Doja Cat is facing a backlash after speaking out about the practice of pop stars’ obsessive fan bases using collective nicknames to describe themselves. Taylor Swift has the "Swifties", Ariana Grande has the "Arianators" and Lady Gaga has the "Little Monsters". And until recently, Doja Cat had the "Kittenz". However, in a now-deleted post on social media platform Threads, the pop star said: “My fans don’t name themselves s***. If you call yourself a ‘kitten’ or f***ing ‘kittenz’ that means you need to get off your phone and get a job and help your parents with the house.” The backlash was strong and immediate, in the latest instance of hordes of devoted fans getting just a teensy bit too invested in what musicians say and do. Sign up to our free Indy100 weekly newsletter One of her fan accounts, The Kittenz Web, said: “Just delete the entire account and rethink everything. It’s never too late.” Another fan on Twitter said: “Imagine telling your fans to get a job when they are the ones that buy your music, merch and concert tickets.” Another asked on Threads if she could tell her fans that she loves them. Doja Cat replied: “I don’t though cuz I don’t even know y’all.” One fan hit back: “And we don’t know you. But we have supported you through thick and thin. Mind you, you’d be nothing without us.” But Doja wasn’t having it. She said: “Nobody forced you. IDK why you’re talking to me like you’re my mother... You sound like a crazy person.” The singer eventually deleted her account on the platform following the backlash. It’s not the first time 27-year-old Doja Cat, whose real name is Amala Ratna Zandile Dlamini, has been forced to stand up for herself in the face of fanatical social media followers. She was previously accused of blocking people who weighed in on her relationship with Twitch streamer J Cyrus. “I DONT GIVE A F**K WHAT YOU THINK ABOUT MY PERSONAL LIFE,” she wrote on Instagram. “I NEVER HAVE AND NEVER WILL GIVE A F**K WHAT YOU THINK ABOUT ME OR MY PERSONAL LIFE.” Meanwhile Doja Cat fan pages like Doja HQ, The Kittens Room and Doja Cat News have all deactivated their accounts since the most recent incident. The Grammy award winning musician is expected to release her fourth studio album later this year. According to reports, that will likely steer away from the pop music she has previously released and draw more from hip-hop and R&B. Have your say in our news democracy.

Gwyneth Paltrow has invited people to stay in her guesthouse and have dinner with her and people are finding it hilarious. Posting on Instagram in a paid partnership with Airbnb, the actress walked through the guesthouse and showed off all the rooms with a fireplace, bar, pretty nice bedroom and a bathroom complete with Goop products. "Your skin is going to be better when you leave than when you came," she said as she walked through the bathroom. "We can have a fantastic cosy dinner," she added when she showed off the dining room. The caption to the video read: "Loneliness is a human condition, but in the past few years, increased isolation and our lack of community has made our lives even more fragmented. "@airbnb had the brilliant idea of doing something to make the world a little less lonely, which is why I'm inviting you to come stay at my Montecito guesthouse for a night. "While we may begin as strangers, I hope we'll find connections and commonalities over a delicious meal. "Lay by the pool, go on one of my favourite hikes and of course you'll have a bathroom stocked with my favourite @goop products for a truly luxuriating stay." She added: "Hope to host you soon." The "Goop-inspired stay with Gwyneth Paltrow" for two also features a dinner with the star and her husband, Brad Falchuk, and guests can have whatever wine they want from her well-stocked collection. People thought the concept was one part hilarious and two parts iconic: The booking for two guests opens on 15 August and the one-night stay will take place on 9 September.
