It has been a few confusing weeks for Charli D’Amelio and Landon Barker‘s fans as rumors of the two internet stars dating keep spreading.
The speculations first started on June 15, 2022, when a paparazzi going by the username of shootingstarsla on Instagram posted a series of pictures of D’Amelio attending Barker’s party.
The party in question was thrown to celebrate the launch of Barker’s recent project — he had collaborated with the fashion company boohooMan to launch his co-designed collection.
Additionally, several guests were invited to the party, where the American singer sang multiple songs, including the hit music Die in California. Later, D’Amelio was seen leaving the party, and her departure was followed by Barker and make-up artist Avani Gregg.
When that happened, people immediately started wondering if something was going on between D’Amelio and Barker. One fan commented under shootingstarsla post, “I think something is going on between them. They weren’t that close before. He is Chase’s friend.”
Shootingstarsla was quick to give a reply as they wrote, “yea so true that’s how they all start wearing each other’s stuff that’s the Sign.”
Sometime after the talks of the two internet stars dating started, its hype became higher when some netizens noticed that Barker’s friend and D’Amelio’s ex-boyfriend, Chase Hudson, had deleted the picture he posted with Barker.
One Twitter user commented on that news: “Chase deleted his pic with Landon. If Chase deleting his post with Landon is not confirmation that something is happening, u guys are just in denial. I’m sorry.”
Charli D’Amelio and Landon Barker share their tattoos at the same time
D’Amelio and Barker’s romance rumors became more firm after their fans noticed that the two had recently gone to the same shop to have a new tattoo.
On Tuesday, June 21, the internet stars took to their respective Instagram handles and posted pictures of their tattoos via Instagram stories. And what’s more interesting was that they had posted their respective stories simultaneously — the difference was around 3 minutes.
In addition, both of them had tagged the same person, meaning they got inked by the hands of the same person, i.e., Arbel. D’Amelio’s new tattoo was a small heart and a star, which she reportedly got to mark the release of her first perfume Born Dreamer.
As for Barker’s new tattoo, he had gotten himself a tattoo of thorns around his neck. He also had inked a bird and had written the name ‘Cooper’ below it. It might be possible that he got the tattoo honoring the late Cooper Noriega, but the exact reason remains undisclosed.

Coming back to D’Amelio and Barker, many believed that the two getting inked at the same place and sharing their new tattoos among their followers at the same time was no mere coincidence and thought that something might be happening between them.
On the other hand, some people believed that nothing was going on between D’Amelio and Barker, and they only went to the same tattoo artist, Arbel, because she is one of the talented artists in Los Angeles visited by multiple celebrities.
Are Charli D’Amelio and Landon Barker dating?
One day after the tattoo incident, on June 22, the rumored couple was again spotted together, this time when they were leaving the A Letter To Me album release party. The Daily Stardust had shared multiple pictures of the two as they left that event.
Now back to the main question: Are D’Amelio and Barker dating each other? The answer to that question is yet to be known.
Neither of them has officially confirmed or denied romance rumors. And until that happens, nothing can be said. For now, fans of the two stars must wait and see what happens.
And although the rumored couple mightn’t have said anything on the topic, the speculations have caught the BFFs podcast‘s attention. On their recent episode of June 23, 2022, the hosts of the podcast discussed a bit on the whole topic.
Co-host Dave Portnoy first mentioned all the details that have led to the rise in the speculations — which have been discussed above. And when he completed doing that, he asked his co-hosts Josh Richards and Bri Chickenfry if they were dating.
Chickenfry was the first to respond as she said, “I don’t know. They kinda look like they would be a cute couple.” Richards then joined and said that Barker seems like D’Amelio’s type considering her former relationship with Chase Hudson.
Contradicting his co-hosts’ opinions, Portnoy said that D’Amelio might not date Barker. But, Chickenfry quickly stopped Portnoy there as she said, “but you know what? So, Landon Barker is like in the Kardashian family now. So, I think it’s kind of a good move.”
“Clout move,” Portnoy said in the background, to which Richards seemed to agree. “They are all gonna be together. It’s like one step closer to the Kardashian. Climbing the ladder,” Chickenfry further added.
Following that, the co-hosts talked a bit more about the topic and then changed their focus toward other topics. So, what do you think? Are D’Amelio and Barker dating? Or it’s just another baseless rumor? Let’s wait and see!
James Gunn’s much-anticipated Superman reboot is set to hit theaters on July 11, but the buzz leading up to the release has taken a political turn. In a recent interview, Gunn described Superman as “an immigrant’s immigrant,” reinforcing the character’s longstanding metaphor for hope, kindness, and the American dream. But this framing hasn’t sat well with everyone.
Right-wing commentators and political figures have criticized the film for what they perceive as a “woke” reinterpretation of the superhero. Among them, Fox News contributors and conservative commentators have taken aim at the film, calling it overly ideological. Former Trump advisor Kellyanne Conway even predicted it would “bomb worse than Snow White did,” referencing the poorly received Disney remake.
Despite the backlash, Gunn remains firm in his creative direction. “This film is for everyone,” he said, “and it’s about kindness—not politics.” His brother, actor Sean Gunn, also defended the vision, explaining that the film’s message aligns with Superman’s origins as an alien finding belonging on Earth—a narrative deeply rooted in immigration and acceptance.
Early screenings have reportedly received positive feedback, especially for David Corenswet’s performance as Clark Kent and Rachel Brosnahan’s Lois Lane. Whether the film will rise above the political noise remains to be seen, but it’s clear that Gunn’s Superman is already a cultural flashpoint before its official release.
Veteran actor Michael Madsen, renowned for his gritty performances in films like Reservoir Dogs and Kill Bill Vol. 2, has passed away at the age of 67. His manager, Ron Smith, confirmed that the actor died of heart failure on July 3, 2025, at his home in Malibu, California. Longstanding health issues, including heart disease and a history of alcoholism, were cited as contributing factors. Authorities confirmed that no foul play was involved, and an autopsy was not performed.
Madsen, whose filmography spans over three decades, was known for playing tough, unpredictable characters with a unique emotional depth. His portrayal of Mr. Blonde in Quentin Tarantino’s Reservoir Dogs became an instant cult favorite and cemented his place in Hollywood’s hall of fame for antiheroes.
In the wake of his death, colleagues and fans alike have poured out tributes. Rob Zombie, who directed Madsen in CSI: Miami, praised his dedication and raw talent, noting that while Madsen had a reputation for being intense, he always delivered on screen. His sister, actress Virginia Madsen, described him as “a poetic soul in a fighter’s body.”
Beyond acting, Madsen was also a published poet and had been working on a reflective book titled Tears for My Father: Outlaw Thoughts and Poems. His passing marks the end of an era for a generation of cinema that thrived on raw, unfiltered performances.
Lena Dunham, the creator and star of Girls, has spoken out about the harsh scrutiny she’s faced throughout her career, calling the body-shaming in Hollywood “merciless.” In a candid interview with Variety, Dunham reflected on how the criticism persisted no matter what size she was — whether thinner due to illness or simply aging naturally.
“Whether I was a size 4 or a size 16, there were always opinions about my body,” she shared. “Hollywood remains merciless toward body image.”
Dunham revealed that part of her decision to step away from acting was influenced by the toll this scrutiny took on her mental health. While the body positivity movement once gained momentum, she believes it has lost visibility in recent years.
Currently, Dunham is focused on her new series Too Much, where she serves as showrunner and mentor to rising star Megan Stalter. She says protecting her cast from the kind of criticism she endured is a top priority.
“I can handle people coming for me, but I won’t stay quiet when they come for someone just trying to do their job,” she added.
Her words come at a time when Hollywood is again being called to reflect on its standards, its messaging, and how it treats women of all sizes — especially those behind the scenes and in positions of creative power.
