The USA might be banning TikTok, one of the most used platforms in the country, in the near future.

They took a step closer to banning TikTok on March 13, 2024, when the House of Representatives passed a measure requiring the app’s Chinese creator, ByteDance, to divest from the firm or be removed from US app stores.

The Protecting Americans from Foreign Adversary Controlled Applications Act, commonly known as the TikTok Ban Bill, passed with strong bipartisan support, with 352 votes in favor and just 65 opposed. The Act was transferred to the Senate, where it must be passed before being delivered to the White House. 

If the White House signs it, the measure becomes law, and TikTok will be unavailable in the United States. Since then, there has been a lot of backlash from the citizens on social media platforms. 

Many have been vocal about condemning the ban, including the controversial social media star, James Charles

Following the passage of the bill banning TikTok in the House of Representatives, Charles has publicly criticized the hypocrisy of the American political system. He claimed that the bill’s quick passage is a stinging illustration of how politicians’ priorities have been flipped upside down.

After the House approved the measure, he quickly pointed out that legislators had more pressing issues to address than TikTok. He said, “We are starving. People are dying. People are in jail for marijuana [expletive] charges. We are in a war that we should not be in the first place. And TikTok is our most pressing concern? I don’t think so.”

Charles expressed his dissatisfaction with how quickly the TikTok ban is going through Congress, yet other vital measures can become bogged down for years in the gears of the US political engine.

“[It’s] a test to our political system that that bill was introduced like, what, five minutes ago? And it was passed this morning, and now it’s already going to the Senate, whereas there are already all sorts of bills that take weeks, months, years and never get anything done to them,” he pointed out. “It goes to show when someone wants something done it can be done.”

Many agreed with Charles, claiming that even though they did not agree with his actions, they shared the same sentiment regarding the possibility of the TikTok Ban Bill. They praised him for raising an important issue but, at the same time, noted that they would not forgive his past behavior.

Charles’ ability as a makeup artist propelled him to become one of YouTube’s most prominent beauty and fashion experts. However, he lost fan support following a conflict with a former colleague, Tati Westbrook, who publicly accused Charles of attempting to attract a straight mine while being aware of his sexuality in 2019.

In 2021, Charles made news for all the wrong reasons as a 16-year-old boy accused the influencer of mailing him nude photos. The YouTuber also reportedly urged the child to send him explicit texts.

While Charles denied the accusations and claimed to be unaware of the boy’s age, more underage boys came forward with similar accusations and shared screenshots of their alleged conversations online. Later, he claimed that he only texted two of them because he was desperate to be in a relationship. 

Since then, Charles has lost a majority of his followers, costing him business deals and even demonetizing his channel for a time.

Social media star Bryce Hall has a new love in his life – and he’s not shy about showing it. The influencer is currently dating model and content creator Mikaela Lafuente, marking a fresh chapter in his very public dating history.

After months of speculation, Hall and Lafuente made their relationship official in early 2024, and since then, the pair have appeared inseparable, sharing romantic TikToks, traveling together, and even walking red carpets side by side.

Here’s everything to know about Mikaela Lafuente and her relationship with Bryce Hall.

His Relationship Timeline with Mikaela Lafuente

While Hall and Lafuente made things public in January 2024, their connection started much earlier. During an appearance on the Raw Talk podcast that same month, the couple revealed they first started chatting on Instagram back in 2022. However, due to Lafuente living outside Los Angeles, they didn’t pursue a serious relationship until two years later.

“She was always out of L.A.,” Hall explained, revealing that their early conversations didn’t evolve into a relationship until early 2024.

Hall made the first move by sending Lafuente a direct message with a simple “hey” and a pair of eye emojis. By late 2023, the duo had started appearing together online, most notably in October at a Halloween party, where they wore matching costumes.

Their red carpet debut came in February 2024 at the Bob Marley: One Love premiere in Los Angeles. That same month, they were spotted again at the People’s Choice Awards, wearing coordinated black-and-white outfits.

From vacations in Las Vegas, Argentina, Paris, Italy, and Australia to sweet TikTok moments, the couple has been giving fans a full look into their relationship.

Who Is Mikaela Lafuente?

Mikaela Lafuente, born June 8, 2002, is a model and social media influencer based in Buenos Aires, Argentina. She frequently celebrates her roots online, sharing TikToks in Argentina’s soccer jersey and referring to her homeland as “el mejor país del mundo” — “the best country in the world.”

Lafuente has built a large following across platforms. On TikTok, she boasts over 4 million followers, while her Instagram profile has over 1 million fans. Her content ranges from dance videos and lifestyle vlogs to travel diaries and couple content with Hall.

In addition to being an influencer, Lafuente is a professional model. In July 2023, she walked in the Evita X Elizabeth & Co. New York Swim Week show, showcasing her presence in the fashion industry.

The 23-year-old is also a travel lover. She has shared photos from recent trips to Australia’s Byron Bay, where she interacted with wildlife, and solo adventures to Europe — including Paris and Italy.

Hall’s Past Relationships

Bryce Hall’s dating life has often made headlines – and Mikaela Lafuente isn’t the first influencer he’s been romantically linked to.

In early 2024, Hall was rumored to be dating Lindsay Capuano, a model and OnlyFans creator. The pair shared multiple social media posts, including flirty comments and shared selfies, but never officially confirmed their status. The relationship appeared to fizzle out before the year’s end.

Before Capuano, Hall’s most high-profile relationship was with Addison Rae, one of TikTok’s biggest stars. The two dated on and off between 2020 and 2021, captivating fans with their on-screen chemistry and public breakups. Their split involved some drama, including cheating allegations and cryptic tweets, making it one of TikTok’s most talked-about breakups at the time.

Since then, Hall has kept his romantic life relatively low-key until now. With Lafuente, he seems to be embracing a more open and affectionate dynamic, posting frequent couple content and even poking fun at their relationship on TikTok.

In one clip from January 2025, Hall shared a video of them deciding between sushi and pizza using rock-paper-scissors, ending with Lafuente jokingly frustrated that his choice won. “Happy wife, happy life,” he captioned it.

James Gunn’s ‘Superman’ Sparks Right-Wing Backlash Ahead of Release

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.
