Former Love Island Host Caroline Flack Has Died at 40


Caroline Flack, the former host of Love Island UK, has died at the age of 40.

According to multiple outlets, the TV presenter was found dead at her home in London, England on Saturday, February 15. The cause of her death has yet to be determined.

“We can confirm that our Caroline passed away today, the 15th February,” her family said in a statement, according to BBC News. “We would ask that the press respect the privacy of the family at this difficult time and we would ask they make no attempt to contact us and/or photograph us.”

Following news of her death, several former Love Island contestants started sharing touching tributes on social media.

“I’m utterly shocked and heartbroken. Caroline you were such a special woman. Your huge smile will stay with me forever… Rest in peace,” Molly-Mae Hague captioned a photo posted to Instagram.

“Caroline Flack you supported me always, you were so kind to me & my family, I will never forget that. I spoke to you, and gave my support during the recent media intrusion. The media & trolls are killing people. Please THINK before you speak,” Zara Holland tweeted.

“Words can’t sum this up,” Chris Hughes wrote. “So sad. Another amazing person taking from this cruel world. When will people and and press release celebrities are humans, with the same feelings everyone else has. Can’t believe to imagine the pain. God bless Caroline and her family. Rest tight.”

“So so shocked at this news, rest in perfect peace Caroline Flack,” Leanne Amaning added.

“This is horrendous,” Dom Lever tweeted.

Laura Whitmore, who recently replaced Flack as the host of Love Island, tweeted a photo with the caption, “I’m trying to find the words but I can’t.”

See more tributes and reactions, below:

In December, Flack was arrested over allegations that she assaulted her boyfriend, tennis player Lewis Burton, during an incident at her London home. She later stepped down from her role as Love Island host and was replaced by Whitmore. Flack pleaded not guilty and was due to appear in court on March 4.

“Been advised not to go on social media,” she wrote on Instagram that month. “But I wanted to say happy Christmas to everyone who has been so incredibly kind to me this year….. this kind of scrutiny and speculation is a lot to take on for one person to take on their own… I’m a human being at the end of the day and I’m not going to be silenced when I have a story to tell and a life to keep going with …. I’m taking some time out to get feeling better and learn some lessons from situations I’ve got myself into to. I have nothing but love to give and best wishes for everyone.”

She returned to social media on Friday, February 14 to post a series of photos with her dog, with she simply captioned, “❤️.”

Our thoughts are with Caroline Flack’s loved ones during this difficult time.

‘Love Is Blind,’ Netflix’s New Reality Show, Is Delightfully Unhinged


Netflix is expanding its reality-TV catalog with Love Is Blind, a delightfully unhinged dating show that’s pretty self-explanatory. It centers on a group of singles who go on a series of (literal) blind dates. As in, they’re placed in pods where they can’t see the person they’re chatting with. They can only hear them. From voice and connection alone, they whittle down their choices until they’ve found the One. Then they get engaged—yes, engaged—without ever laying eyes on the person.

Of course, eventually they do get to see what their fiancé looks like, and that’s where the real stories begin. How will these quote-unquote deep connections built in the pods translate to the physical world? Will they be attracted to their betrothed? Will their friends and family members approve? This is explored as the couples leave the pods, go on romantic getaways, and then head back to their real lives.

Hosted by Nick and Vanessa Lachey—who hilariously recite the same monologue about how “love is blind” in every episode—Love Is Blind is unlike any show I’ve seen before. I finished the first five episodes feeling exhilarated, bewildered, and exhausted. I also had one zillion questions. Below, a nonexhaustive list:

1. Does the “blind date” concept work if all the contestants are conventionally hot? I’m not talking about individual attraction here—I’m referring to the narrow standards our culture has for “beauty.” Every single person on this show meets that criterion. While the show is racially diverse (to an extent), the men are muscular; the women are thin. Something tells me that was intentional. Think about it: If unconventionally attractive people went on this show and had their hearts broken after they saw their fiancé face-to-face, that would just be…awful. It would confirm the shallowness of mankind. Featuring only “hot” people guarantees that won’t happen. I’m not the only person who’s thinking this, either:

2. Jessica! What are you doing?! You will find yourself screaming at the TV many times during Love Is Blind—and Jessica, often, is the reason. The 34-year-old regional manager throws away a solid relationship with sweet, mature 24-year-old trainer Mark in favor of Barnett, a 27-year-old overgrown frat bro to whom all the women are inexplicably drawn. But when things go south with Barnett, Jessica goes back to Mark and proceeds to treat him like crap. Justice for Mark!

‘P.S. I Love You,’ Your Favorite Tearjerker, Is Getting a Sequel


Grab your tissues, people, because P.S. I Love You is getting a sequel.

Variety reports that Alcon Entertainment has secured the rights to author Cecelia Ahern’s sequel to the book P.S. I Love You, titled Postscript. by . Details about the movie sequel aren’t known right now—just that it’s happening.

If you’re unfamiliar with the 2007 movie P.S. I Love You, it centers on a woman, Holly (Hilary Swank), who is stricken with grief following the death of her husband, Gerry (Gerard Butler). However, because he was diagnosed with an illness prior to passing, Gerry prepared for his wife’s grief and wrote her a series of letters that are sent to her after he dies—one a year, all ending with “P.S., I love you.”

Per Variety, Postscript picks up seven years later, when Holly agrees to tell her story on her sister’s podcast. It’s unclear if Swank and Butler will return to their roles, but here’s hoping. Either way, I’m prepared to cry.

“For me, after reading the script I was reminded of what life is about,” Swank told Indie London about what originally attracted her to P.S. I Love You. “It was a reminder that you just want to hold those ones that you love dear because you don’t know what’s going to happen tomorrow. It’s such a great love story and I think that we can all relate to that—finding love and losing love…. If it’s not through death, even a breakup can sometimes feel like a death. There were many things that I could relate to and a lot of laughter in between.”

Of the movie’s more emotional scenes, Swank told Indie London, “The challenge was the emotional side of it. To really find the humour within the reality of the aftermath of what’s happened, while at the same time being honest to the full range of emotions associated with grief.”

A date hasn’t been set for the film adaptation of Postscript, nor do we know if that will be the title. We’ll keep you posted on all fronts.

Claw Clip Hairstyles Celebrities Love – Best Claw Clips 2020


I don’t need to tell you that throwback hairstyles are having a moment. Every time you open Instagram you’re probably berated with prom-style tendrils, tiny hair clips, and oversized headbands—I know I am. But recently, there’s been a hair accessory I’ve abandoned all my sparkly pins, fancy scrunchies, and pearl-encrusted everything for: the humble claw clip.

To me, claw clips have always been utilitarian. My mom has worn a plain tortoise one when she’s cooking for as long as I can remember, and I used to wear them to keep my hair out of my face in elementary school. It wasn’t something I ever expected I’d want to wear again, until last spring when I was walking through a dollar store during a trip to Tokyo. There it was: the cutest pink clip. I bought it on a whim, thinking I’d use it to hold back my hair during my nighttime routine.

At first the claw clip didn’t make it out of the house, but then they were suddenly everywhere I looked. Overnight, it was like every Insta-girl was wearing candy-colored Seoul Import clips, and more sleek versions were popping up in celebrity pap shots left and right. And then it hit me: claw clips are officially chic.

Since then, I haven’t left the house without a claw clip tucked into my hair or in my purse (or sometimes, clipped on my purse strap). While, yes, they’re amazing at their main job—holding up a lot of hair with minimal effort—what I love most about the clip is its versatility.

My first venture into wearing claw clips out of the house is a look comedian and host of the Glowing Up podcast Caroline Goldfarb dubbed “the Brigitte Broke-dot.” Essentially, it’s just pilling a bunch of hair into a half up, clipping it, and leaving your front tendrils or bangs out. It’s romantic, easy, and insanely flattering—the half-up with some pieces around the front frames your face in such a pretty way. The look somehow fixes any bad hair day, and makes every outfit a little more pulled together.

On the other hand, the look of choice for celeb models like Kendall Jenner, Bella Hadid, and Hailey Bieber is a slicked back bun with the clips holding it all together. It’s a very ’90s supermodel look that manages to feel fresh and modern. The sleekness of the bun looks put together, but a claw clip lends it some “oh this old thing?” charm and effortlessness. I’ve never been into slick hair, but the ease of a clip makes it feel totally wearable. Plus, this style lets you really show off a cute clip. It feels like you’re wearing jewelry in your hair.

While there are certainly luxe options, my favorite thing about this trend is most clips clock in at under $25. Believe me when I say you won’t be sorry to resurrect them.

This You Season 2 Fan Theory Suggests Love Killed Her First Husband, James


This post contains spoilers for You season 2. Consider yourself warned.

Netflix‘s You is one of those shows where so much happens over the course of a season that you might actually forget key details by the time it’s over. Throughout the duration of You season 2, viewers spend time getting to know Joe/Will’s (Penn Badgley) new obsession, Love Quinn (Victoria Pedretti), a nice Los Angeles (rich) girl who seems surprisingly down-to-Earth.

As the episodes progress, we learn that Love is a young widow. Via flashbacks, we see conversations between her and her late husband, James. By the end of the season, we also realize that Love is fully capable of murder: In a shocking twist toward the end, viewers learn that she killed her au pair back in the day and also slits Candace’s throat in an attempt to protect Joe.

Now, a popular fan theory suggests she killed James, as well. Remember, the show only tells us that he was “sick,” but we don’t get any details about what he had. Was it cancer? Something else? Love says the doctors couldn’t figure out what was wrong. Maybe it was…poison.

“What if Love poisoned her husband… you notice how she’s making treats daily…. they couldn’t figure out why her husband died, but maybe she poisoned him over time…. #YouNetflix,” one fan tweeted. Another wrote, “Started You season 2 on Netflix and I’m finishing up on episode 1… Love poisoned her husband didn’t she? She said ‘he got sick and they couldn’t figure out what was wrong’ so I’m guessing she killed him? ? Here start my theories! I question everything ?.”

Much like the theory that Joe is not the father of Love’s baby, this one pretty much tracks. Can the third season just happen already so we can find out?
