Celebrity Social Media Smutty Social Media, August 9, 2018 Madonna is turning 60 next week – what’s the plan? A huge blowout? Celebrity-filled, or more intimate? She is living in Lisbon right now, so will she fly everyone out to her, or will she go back to New York for it? My guess is a European location, maybe Italy. By Maria • Aug 09, 2018 01:06 pm
Maple Leaf Justin gets a haircut Yesterday, Maria wrote about these photos of Justin Bieber and Hailey Baldwin crying while riding bikes. These two need to do less.
