Selena Gomez is the latest celebrity meme template after an image of her looking cosy in a blanket when viral online. It all started when a photo of the singer and Only Murders in the Building star wrapped in a blanket and as she stared off into the distance in a candid shot that looked both mysterious and dramatic. The snap was shared on the Instagram Story of her friend Dominic J West but soon found its way on social media as it became the new viral meme on X, formerly known as Twitter. The photo below is the one that has everyone meme-ing: Here is a round-up of the best memes: The meme has become so viral that it has managed to reach Gomez who was able to laugh at herself and the different memes from her candid photo - so much so that she even shared some to her Instagram Stories - here are the two she shared: Good to see she's loving the people's creativity with the meme.

Lorraine Kelly has ruffled feathers after repeatedly misgendering Sam Smith on her ITV show this morning (13 July) - even at one point calling the singer 'fella'. The topic of discussion was the non-binary artist's extra large (16XL to be precise) outfit at the Barbie premiere. "It’s a bit big for him. If he was my son, I’d be saying, 'Son, that’s too big for you.'… He’s going to stand out", she said. "He knows what he’s doing, does that fella." Click here to sign up for our newsletters

With Elon Musk’s Twitter suffering yet another catastrophic outage (which has seen the Tesla and SpaceX founder implement temporary limits on how many tweets we can view in a day), users are once again looking for a rival platform to evacuate to. Previously it was the likes of Post and Mastodon - the latter of which Musk hated so much he restricted users from linking to their new accounts on Twitter - but now it’s the turn of Bluesky to get all the hype. Backed by Twitter founder Jack Dorsey, the platform claims to offer “an open and decentralised standard for social media” – “decentralised” meaning users don’t have an account under one ‘centralised’ company owned by one particular company, but can instead sign up to individual servers and communities owned and managed by other people.

In fact, after Twitter’s latest blunder, invite codes to Bluesky became so lucrative and sign-ups became so intense that they had to temporarily pause new registrations (they’ve reopened them now, though, if you fancy a try). And while others are considering whether to jump ship to the rival site, or desperately hunting for the code which will let them in, some Twitter users were reminded of a legendary rock band thanks to the platform’s choice of name: Yep, for a handful of individuals, the hit track from Jeff Lynne and his Electric Light Orchestra (or ELO) came to mind – and it’s perhaps made all the more amusing considering one of “Mr Blue Sky’s” lyrics is the rhetorical question, “where did we go wrong”. If Musk were to ask that question, we’d probably say firing almost half of Twitter’s workforce and therefore making it almost impossible to deal with the demand is part of the problem. And if you were wondering, a few searches on Bluesky appear to suggest that neither Lynne or ELO are on the platform. Indy100 has approached Lynne’s representatives for a statement, but they said the musician was unavailable for comment. Have your say in our news democracy.

Pink has revealed just how much work goes into preparing for her sky-high acrobatic stunts during her concerts - and it's a full workout regime to get her voice ready. During a new 60 Minutes interview, the singer demonstrated how even with a grown adult stood on her stomach, her abdominal muscles are so strong that she can still belt out her hits note-perfect. But it's not the first time she's done acrobatics. In fact, she actually started at the age of four, practicing five days a week for eight years. Sign up to our free Indy100 weekly newsletter
