y now, Hailey Bieber knows how to handle weirdos on social media. The supermodel and beauty mogul has spent years dealing with unending speculation about celebrity feuds and the status of her marriage. But there’s one label haters love to hurl at her that she simply doesn’t understand as an insult.
In recent years, Bieber has become a constant target of online “transvestigators,” bigoted profiles that make delusional, unsubstantiated claims about the gender identity of celebrities. While these troll accounts are meant to be hurtful, Bieber revealed that she isn’t bothered by being called trans. Quite the opposite, she wears the supposed insult as a badge of honor.
“People are trying to be mean, they’re like, ‘She looks trans.’ And I’m like, ‘Why do you think that’s a diss?’ As if being trans is a diss?” Bieber said on the Oct. 24 episode of the In Your Dreams podcast. “Some of the most beautiful women in the world and men in the world are trans, so I just don’t take that offensively at all.”
Bieber also made a pretty surprising confession about her physical appearance on the podcast, revealing that unlike many people within the beauty industry, she has never had Botox. That’s not to say she’ll never try the injectable in the future, though.
“I made a commitment to myself that I wasn’t going to do any Botox until I was in my 30s,” the 28-year-old said. “I’ll see if I even want to do it. My mom has no Botox, she does nothing to her face and skin and she looks insane.”
The Rhode Beauty founder is clearly more focused on her business at the moment rather than petty commenters or cosmetic procedures. Back in May, Bieber made headlines for selling Rhode to e.l.f. for a massive valuation of $1 billion. Along with the lucrative sale, Bieber also confirmed she’s remaining on board as her brand’s chief creative officer and head of innovation. When you’re making billion-dollar money moves like that, you probably don’t care too much about what other people are saying.
Fans Are Convinced They Know The Name Of Olivia Rodrigo’s 3rd Album
Lucky guess.
It sounds like Olivia Rodrigo is gearing up for her next album. At an exclusive American Express concert on Oct. 23, the singer dropped a quite a few Easter eggs about what’s to come. During her performance at Manhattan’s Park Ave Armory, she announced that the show would be her last GUTS-era performance, and fans think she used her on-stage wardrobe to hint at the name of her third studio album.
According to the Livies, Rodrigo’s closet and social media seem to be hinting at a fortuitous-themed album, titled LUCK. The potential album name follows the four-letter, single-word pattern set by Rodrigo’s first two albums, SOUR (released in May 2021) and GUTS (released in September 2023).
Rodrigo’s outfit choice for the American Express concert only cemented this fan theory. For the event, the “Vampire” singer wore a bedazzled minidress in a bright green color. Eagle-eyed fans noticed that the dress actually featured a subtle clover pattern — seemingly, a reference to the good luck charm. Fans on TikTok took the dress as subtle confirmation of the third album’s title, and their theory is pretty convincing. Turns out, Rodrigo has been dropping luck-themed hints on social media for months.
Rodrigo’s wardrobe Easter eggs are not always so obvious. Fans pointed out that the singer has also been sporting a lot of polka dots lately. Of course, the pattern is trending right now, but it’s also associated with good fortune and wealth, particularly in the Philippines, where it’s tradition to sport polka dots on New Year’s to encourage a prosperous year ahead. Rodrigo is Filipino-American, and it’s likely that she’s familiar with this tradition and the connotation of wearing polka dot ‘fits.
Other lucky symbols have been popping up on Rodrigo’s social media as well, including plenty of lady bugs. In February 2024, the singer even shared a photo of her holding a “LUCK” card, which also included the word “or” in all-caps — imitating the appearance of her initials.
As if that wasn’t enough, Rodrigo made sure to shoutout luck in her 22nd birthday post on Feb. 21. “thank u for all the birthday wishes!!! I feel like the luckiest girl alive!!! grateful for this year and all the love, friendship, music, magic and spaghetti I got to experience! cheers to 22!!!💋❤️🐞,” she wrote — peep the ladybug emoji. Plus, she was wearing polka dots in the first photo of the carousel.
While Rodrigo has not officially confirmed anything, there are certainly a lot of lucky coincidences hinting at the name for album no. 3.
