Billie Eilish reacts to 'insane' crop top edit of her on fake CNN News account
The American singer-songwriter Billie Eilish has reacted to a fake viral image of her posted on a TikTok account posing as CNN where she sports a very short crop top. The 21-year-old pop star shared the image on her Instagram account on Wednesday. In her Instagram Stories, the 'What Was I Made For' singer shared an image from a TikTok account called CNN News. However, the real CNN's TikTok page is just called 'CNN' indicating that this account, which now appears to have changed its name, is either a parody or pretending to be the world-renowned news network. Sign up to our free Indy100 weekly newsletter The image shows Eilish on stage wearing matching off-white shorts, shirt and crop top. However, the crop top has been extensively edited, either by AI or Photoshop, to expose most of the singer's breasts. In the post, Eilish simply wrote: "This edit holy s**t. You guys. are insane" along with two skull emojis. It's not known where the original image came from or who made it but it has since resurfaced on TikTok. An account called Hunterm9.9 shared the image on July 7th and it has since received more than 1.2 million views. Many of the comments on the post noted that Eilish has shared the story on Instagram. "HELP SHE SAW THE PHOTO," wrote one person. "Here from Billie's story haha" another said. However, some were a little more critical of the sexualised image. One person added: "Ai is getting out of hand." Another noted the inaccuracies, stating: "That is not Billie. Those are not bills tattoos she has a dragon on her hip and 3 fairies on her wrist."

Kai Cenat 'beyond disappointed' with rioters who caused mayhem at New York giveaway
Popular Twitch streamer Kai Cenat has expressed his disappointment at fans who rioted during his New York giveaway. On 5 August, Kai held a huge giveaway at Union Square that saw gaming consoles given away. More than 6,000 people were said to have attended the event which soon turned sour. Footage showed teens damaging cars, throwing objects, fighting and blasting fire extinguishers. Kai was escorted away by security as crowds became increasingly chaotic. He was later charged with inciting a riot, with a court date of 19 August. The NYPD arrested 65 people, including 30 minors, on counts from disorderly conduct to assaulting a police officer. "Being from New York, it has been my dream to want to give back to the community that made me who I am," Kai told his subscribers. "But after Friday, I’ve come to realise the amount of power and influence that I have on people." Sign up for our free Indy100 weekly newsletter "I am beyond disappointed in anybody who became disruptive that day. None of that is cool," he continued. "None of that was my intention. I had good intentions for this whole thing. I don’t condone any of the things that went on that day." Kai then turned his attention to the media, saying that while he is able to handle anything towards him, that press should "leave [his] family out of it." "[There’s] no reason why you’re showing up to my mum’s house. I can handle it, whatever you want to say about me. I just don’t want you to be going to my mum’s house, she doesn’t even live in New York," he said. "I’m gonna have to chill for a bit," he continued. "You’re not gonna be seeing me for a bit, but it ain’t gonna be nothing long. I’ve gotta do what I’ve gotta do." Have your say in our news democracy.
