Candace Cameron Bure is hitting back at online trolls ... by hitting delete.

The "Full House" star yanked a swimsuit snap from her Instagram after the comments spiraled into body shaming, later explaining on Instagram Stories that while the one piece shot was meant to capture her soaking up the last of summer, the backlash quickly soured the vibe.

"It wasn't about the suit or my body," she said, "but the comments turned into endless chatter about my body. It wasn’t worth it, so I took it down."

J.D. Vance says he's not worried if other people refer to the administration's military force as war crimes ... 'cause he doesn't "give a s***" about the label.

The Vice President took to X to defend the U.S. military recently killing 11 people on a boat from Venezuela, which they allege carried illegal narcotics. President Donald Trump told reporters earlier this week the ship was "a drug-carrying boat, a lot of drugs in that boat."

Worth noting ... the administration hasn't provided any evidence to corroborate the claims, and the strike caused outrage online ... with many calling it an attack on civilians. Gang members in this situation are not technically enemy combatants under international law, many argue.

TikTok star Jake Kind -- known online as Goobi Gubbi -- has lost his beloved grandmother Mimmy ... who announced her death in a characteristically forward TikTok post.

Jake told fans 2 days before Mimmy's passing that they would no longer be seeing her on his feed ... noting she's still alive but "in end stages." He added ... "...The situation that she's in health-wise, or lack thereof, I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy."

The adorable announcement clip shows Perrie turned away from the camera wearing a white T-shirt that reads ... "If he wanted to, he would" on the back. Then, she turns around to reveal her baby bump, plus the front of the shirt that reads "... And he did!"

The Jonas Brothers took over Kai Cenat's "Mafiathon 3" stream Friday night ... surprising fans with a performance of "Introducing Me" from "Camp Rock 2" and "Lovebug"!

The famous streamer was just as hyped about his guests as fans were, singing along and at one point gushing over their presence, saying ... "Seeing this in person is crazy, I ain't gonna lie."

Kevin, Joe and Nick clearly had plenty of fun with Kai, but got serious at one point by sharing wholesome, motivational speeches to the chat. Nick told viewers, "You will never regret kindness," while Kevin spoke passionately about the value of family.

Joe got a bit more playful with his contribution to the tender time in the stream, joking ... "In middle school I s*** my pants, look at me now." But ... he did get serious, too -- encouraging fans to be kind and forgiving.

The death of Juan "Raymond" Harper -- better known as Rolling Ray -- in September 2025 left his fans shattered and heartbroken over the loss of the influencer.

Ray's career was taking off prior to his death, as he'd built up a substantial following through his appearances on TV and presence on social media.

We're going to take a look at how the influencer made a name for himself and see how the reactions to his death largely reflected the positive impact he'd had on his fans.

Ray started making appearances in the late 2010s on various television shows, including "Catfish: Trolls," where his one-liners, and overall sense of humor, became popular with the show's fans.

A clip of his appearance on "Divorce Court," in which he claimed to have been in contact with Beyoncé, went viral a year later.

Ray was subsequently featured on several programs on the Zeus Network, including "The Conversation," in which his feud with rapper Bobby Lytes was detailed in a two-part arc.

Ray later served as an executive producer on the series "Bobby I Love You, Purrr," in which he helped Lytes find a partner.

Ray's talent wasn't just limited to TV, as he racked up a healthy following on social media throughout his life.

The influencer was most prolific on Instagram, where he had 451,000 followers at the time of his death.

He was also active on TikTok, where he had a following of nearly 10,000 ... although his final posts on the platform were shared in 2023.

In addition to his social media activity, Ray was a songwriter, and released several singles on Apple Music, mainly in the early 2020s.

Although the cause of Ray's death was not immediately released, it was marked with several tributes from across the entertainment world.

Zeus Network shared a post on its Instagram account, noting the influencer's "laughter, light, & loving spirit."

Cardi B described the social media personality as a "menace" and said he'd "become so positive" over the years in her own tribute.

An internet influencer was discovered dead this week after she disappeared during a fun-filled vacation with friends in Brazil, according to media reports.

Jaqueline Barbosa Nascimento was reportedly found dead by firefighters Wednesday at Jaguara Dam in Igaratá, Brazil -- three days after she vanished while jet skiing with friends.

Metrópoles reports that Jaqueline -- known for her provocative Instagram and TikTok posts -- likely drowned during one of her jet skiing rides ... but, the news outlet also notes police have deemed Nascimento's death "suspicious" and are combing through surveillance video.

Luigi Mangione's slew of Chinese supporters might have been behind the shocking SHEIN ad, highlighting the suspected killer's good looks, that's gone viral ... according to sources with direct knowledge of the situation.

Our sources say Luigi's mountain of fans in China could be the motivation for the third-party vendor responsible for the flattering Luigi ad released online by SHEIN to promote the China-based company's clothing line.

And there's data to back it up, which can be found on an online dashboard -- created by a Luigi fan -- tracking how many donations and letters Mangione receives at the Metropolitan Detention Center in NYC. Luigi is awaiting federal and state trials for allegedly fatally shooting UnitedHealthCare CEO Brian Thompson in Dec. 2024.

Donald Trump and Rosie O’Donnell are sparring on social media yet again ... this time after the prez reminded followers he's "giving serious thought" to revoking the actress' U.S. citizenship.

Rosie clapped right back -- telling DT "Succession" character Logan Roy "would be proud."

Braxton Berrios has earned himself a decent-sized fanbase over his career in the NFL -- and his girlfriend, Alix Earle, has a pretty sizable following, too!

The Houston Texans wide receiver's been linked to the influencer since 2023, when eagle-eyed fans shared videos of them out together on TikTok ... and they went public with their romance the same year.

We're going to take a look at the personal and professional lives of the social media powerhouse and see how she ended up with the athlete.

Alix was born and raised in New Jersey to a pair of parents who both attended Lynn University in Florida.

The influencer's parents split up at an early age, and her father later married Ashley Dupré -- who had already become a household name about 20 years earlier when she was involved in a prostitution scandal centered around former New York governor Eliot Spitzer.

Alix's mother and her stepmother eventually grew close, and Alix told Elle she was happy to be a member of what she described as a "very modern" family in 2023.

The social media star followed in her parents' footsteps and headed to Florida for college, where she attended the University of Miami and graduated with a marketing degree in 2023.

Alix kicked off her social media career during her freshman year of college, when she began sharing videos on her TikTok account.

Her popularity on the platform received a serious boost in 2022, when she documented her struggle with acne in several videos shared on her account.

She later gained extra exposure for her widely followed "Get ready with me" videos, in which she shows off her outfits and makeup routines.

Alix currently has 7.5 million followers on her TikTok account, as well as 4.5 million on Instagram, and she was included on the Time100 Creators 2025 list, which ranks the most influential digital content creators in the world.

Social media isn't Alix's only focus ... she's embarked on a career as a podcast host over the past few years.

Alix started the "Hot Mess With Alix Earle" podcast in 2023, and she formerly worked with podcasting star Alex Cooper -- although the show was dropped by Cooper's Unwell Network in 2025.

The show exploded in popularity upon its debut, and it briefly beat "The Joe Rogan Experience" on Spotify's podcast chart.

Oh, and she's going to be heading to TV, too, because she's set to compete on the 34th season of ABC's "Dancing With The Stars."

Alix and Braxton were first spotted together back in 2023, when a video showing them meeting a fan at a restaurant in Miami began circulating on TikTok.

It's worth mentioning Braxton isn't the first athlete the influencer has dated in the past, as she was linked to professional baseball player Tyler Wade for a few months in 2022.

She eventually moved on with Berrios, and they made their red carpet debut at the 2023 ESPY Awards ceremony.
