After being presented the award by fellow pop sensation Melanie “Sporty Spice” Chisholm, Eilish took the stage for an uncharacteristically lengthy speech about the “hatred” she’s experienced recently.

“I have felt very hated recently,” she explained. “When I was on the stage and I saw you guys all smiling at me it genuinely made me want to cry and I want to cry right now,” an emotional Eilish said.

This isn’t the first time that Eilish has been open about how she struggles with her negative online perception. Speaking with “BBC Breakfast” shortly after sweeping the 2020 Grammy Awards, Eilish explained that the online vitriol against her is worse now than it’s ever been.

“No, I stopped [reading Instagram comments] like two days ago,” she explained. “I stopped reading comments fully … because it was ruining my life.”

Salma Hayek claps back at fan who claims she’s had ‘too much Botox’

Salma Hayek worded a clever response to a fan who accused her of using “too much Botox” in a recent sultry Instagram snap.

The 53-year-old actress shared a selfie in an undisclosed beach setting to Instagram on Tuesday, when a fan called her appearance into question.

“Too much Botox :(. Not needed Salma!” a fan wrote underneath the photo, showing the “Frida” actress in a magenta swimsuit as her hair flew in the wind.

“I don’t have Botox But thank you for the advice because I was thinking maybe it’s time,” Hayek clapped back.

The actress, who admitted to accidentally spilling water on rapper Eminem at the Oscars, also received dozens of compliments on the same snap.

Fashion designer Rachel Zoe told Hayek she is “aging backwards,” while multiple fans stressed it was “not time” for the actress to undergo any cosmetic enhancements.

“You look better than most 20 something year olds, me being one of them. love you,” one fan complimented the star.

Another said: “This woman can do no wrong.”

The post garnered over 350,000 likes in less than a day. While Hayek did not dish on where she was potentially vacationing, the star is no stranger when it comes to showing off her flawless looks on the beach.

Back in September, Hayek celebrated her 53rd birthday with a series of bikini snaps with her toes in the sand.

She told Town & Country last March that her good looks have absolutely nothing to do with any kind of plastic surgery.

“I haven’t done an-y-thing,” she admitted at the time. “I don’t know how to explain it.”

The Oscar-nominee also credits her success in life and her career with being a late bloomer. Hayek didn’t marry until she was 39 and didn’t become a mother to daughter Valentina until 41.

“I think I’m a better mother because I had her later. But I do get tired, I’m not going to lie,” she admitted. As for her marriage to billionaire fashion mogul François-Henri Pinault, she called him “the best husband in the world.”

Justin Bieber says he overcame ‘bad examples of Christians’ before starting to follow Jesus

Justin Bieber opened up about his come-to-Jesus moment during a wide-ranging interview promoting the release of his newest album, “Changes.”

The “Intentions” singer sat down with Apple Music’s Zane Lowe and reflected on his past self-destructive behaviors before he truly started following Christ and before he married Hailey Baldwin.

“I really took a deep dive in my faith,” Bieber explained about the darkest time in his life. “I believed in Jesus but I never really, like…when it says following Jesus is actually turning away from sin, and so there’s no, it talks about it in the Bible, there’s no faith without obedience.”

The 25-year-old superstar said he has long believed in Jesus dying on the cross for him but “never really implemented it” in his life.

Bieber explained the moment he turned away from drinking, drugs and sleeping around.

“I think it was my perception of who Jesus really was,” he said. “I’d had really bad examples of Christians in my life, who would say one thing and do another, so they were my direct example of who Jesus was.”

Justin Bieber performs during the 2016 Purpose World Tour at Staples Center on March 20, 2016 in Los Angeles, Calif.

The Canadian-born artist who was raised Christian by his mother, Pattie Mallette, said he struggled with forgiveness and shame, which made him question who this “Jesus guy was.”

“The way I look at God and my relationship with Jesus is I’m not trying to earn God’s love by doing good things,” Bieber explained. “God has already loved me for who I am before I did anything to earn or deserve it. It’s a free gift by accepting Jesus, giving your life to him, and what he did is the gift. The forgiveness is the thing that we look at and we go, you know, I’m going to worship you, God, because you gave me something so good.”

“Jesus wasn’t this religious elite guy…but he was in the dirt, and he found me in my dirt and pulled me out,” Bieber said.

“I never want to be someone that’s trying to persuade anyone to believe in what I believe. I think God persuades people,” he concluded. “But I definitely want to tell my story so that if that resonates with anybody they can hopefully learn from it.”

The Biebers are sharing part of their story in a YouTube series called “Justin Bieber: Seasons,” which follows his songwriting and recording process for his latest album.

Zoe Caldwell, 4-time Tony Award winner, dead at 86

Four-time Tony Award winner Zoe Caldwell has died. She was 86.

The performer, who brought humanity to larger-than-life-characters, whether it be the dotty schoolteacher Miss Jean Brodie, an aging opera star Maria Callas or the murderous Medea, died peacefully Sunday at her home in Pound Ridge, N.Y.

Her son Charlie Whitehead said her death was due to complications from Parkinson’s disease.

The Australian-born actress played in regional theaters around the English-speaking world before becoming the toast of Broadway in 1968, and winning her second Tony, for “The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie.”

Among her other characters were Cleopatra, Saint Joan, Mother Courage and authors Colette and Lillian Hellman. Over time, she accepted only roles that offer a particular challenge. If she thought, “Oh, I can do that,” she didn’t want to do them, she said in 1986.

Three of her four Tonys came in collaborations with her husband, Robert Whitehead, who was one of Broadway’s most prolific producers of serious drama.

ESTHER SCOTT, ‘BOYZ N THE HOOD’ AND ‘DREAMGIRLS’ ACTRESS, DEAD AT 66

She cited his influence in her decision to do “Medea,” the ancient Greek drama of a woman who is betrayed by her lover and kills their children in revenge. It won her a third Tony in 1982.

“Medea wasn’t a character I believed in until my Robert started to talk to me about her in human terms,” she told The New York Times a few days after the Tony ceremony. “I suddenly understood how a creative force of nature can become destructive if it is mucked up, polluted, depurified — like the atom.”

Terrence McNally’s “Master Class,” which debuted on Broadway in 1995, was another joint effort with Whitehead. It won Caldwell her fourth Tony and brought Whitehead, as producer, the Tony for best play.

She played Callas as the opera superstar critiques, cajoles and inspires a trio of budding singers taking part in the uniquely intense musical education session called a master class.

“A performance is a struggle. You have to win,” she said as Callas.

Then-Associated Press drama critic Michael Kuchwara called Caldwell “incandescent” and said she gave “the performance of her career.”

ANN E. TODD, CHILD STAR IN 1939’S ‘INTERMEZZO,’ DEAD AT 88: REPORTS

Caldwell was born in 1933 in Melbourne, Australia, to a family struggling to make it through the Depression. In her memoir, “I Will Be Cleopatra,” she wrote that she knew at an early age that her job would be “keeping audiences awake and in their seats.”

“I knew this because it was the only thing I could do,” she wrote. Despite the family’s tight budget, the Caldwells were regular theater-goers, she wrote, and “I saw every singer, dancer, actor, or vaudevillian who came to Melbourne.”

She made her stage debut at age 9 in a Melbourne production of “Peter Pan.”

JA’NET DUBOIS, ‘GOOD TIMES’ ACTRESS, DEAD

Her husband died in 2002 at age 86, shortly after he received a special Tony Award for his nearly 60-year career. Among his other honors were a best play Tony for “A Man for All Seasons” in 1962 and a best revival Tony for “Death of a Salesman” in 1984.

She and Whitehead had two sons, Sam and Charlie. In addition to her two sons, she is survived by two grandchildren.

“I always knew I would be an actor. I am an actor,” she told the AP in 1986. “But being a wife and a mother still seems to me to be some kind of extraordinary stuff.”

‘Lego Masters’ host Will Arnett reveals what he learned on set: ‘I thought I was a decent Lego builder’

LOS ANGELES – After starring as the Lego version of Batman in several movies, it stands to reason that Will Arnett would know everything about the famous plastic building blocks.

Arnett, 49, currently serves as the host of “Lego Masters,” a reality competition series on FOX where contestants are tasked with building Lego creations to serve different purposes. And despite being well versed in the Lego world, Arnett has learned a thing or two about Legos during his time on the show.

WHAT ACTOR HAS THE MOST ON-SCREEN DEATHS?

“I thought I was a decent Lego builder and I built a lot with my kids and I’ve been around Legos a lot,” Arnett told Fox News during a set visit to the show. “I can’t hold [the contestants’] bricks.”

The Lego-filled set features a wall that showcases bins full of the colorful building blocks not to mention there’s an entire display that features Lego-figurines. Plus, there are cubbies filled with Legos.

As for Arnett, he also revealed that he’s picked up on the lingo that builders use.

“A MOC, an M-O-C,” said Arnett, “make your own creation.”

He also shared that he’s familiar with the term “SNOT,” meaning “studs not on top.”

Arnett explained that the contestants use the “three million-plus pieces on set” to complete “all these insane challenges” on the show.

‘PRICE IS RIGHT’ POSTPONES PRODUCTION FOLLOWING DEATH OF DREW CAREY’S EX-FIANCEE AMIE HARWICK

“They have to build bridges that withstand crazy amounts of weight,” said Arnett of some of the show’s challenges, “or we ask them to build things and then we’re going to destroy them a certain way.”

The “Arrested Development” star noted that one of his favorite moments comes when he destroys a Lego creation with a baseball bat.

Arnett also teased the appearance of a special guest star featured on the show: Terry Crews. “[Crews] makes one of the best entrances in television history,” said Arnett.

It’s safe to say that Arnett is enjoying his time on set.

“Everything is awesome,” explained the actor, referencing the Oscar-nominated theme song to 2014’s “The Lego Movie.”

Maxim Mexico cover girl Yovanna Ventura recalls early struggles to be accepted as a model: ‘I had to fight’

Yovanna Ventura, Maxim Mexico’s February 2020 cover girl, never imaged she would be a sought-after model.

The Miami-born star, who spent most of her childhood in the Dominican Republic, was introverted as a child and felt more at ease on a farm surrounded by animals. The 24-year-old’s mother, however, encouraged Ventura to take ballet and attend modeling school to ease her shyness.

And while Ventura admitted her success didn’t come overnight, she was determined to make her mark and inspire other girls to step out of their shells. Today The Lions modeling agency talent, who has over 5 million followers on Instagram alone, works closely with the Black Jaguar White Tighter Foundation to protect large cats, as well as various animal adoption centers in Miami, Maxim Mexico shared.

Ventura spoke to Fox News about shooting for the outlet, her secrets to looking good in photos, why she’s determined to clean up the environment and how she stays in camera-ready shape all year long.

Fox News: How were you discovered as a model?

Yovanna Ventura: Well, that’s a funny story because I was not discovered like a regular model. I had to really fight to be able to become what I wanted. I had to knock a lot of doors and be neglected many times, but it was all worth it. It was all hard work. It took me to where I am today and now I am proudly signed with The Lions, which is an amazing agency and the team… believes in me. So yeah, it’s not the regular story, but I am very proud of how I got to where I am.

Fox News: What was it like shooting for the cover of Maxim Mexico?

Ventura: It was amazing. The whole team was great. They made me feel super comfortable… It was kind of like a “Euphoria” vibe with the shoot, so very excited about it.

Fox News: You always look amazing in photos. Where does your confidence come from?

Ventura: I always try to remain really confident, regardless of anything. At the end of the day, I’m not the regular high fashion model, but I embrace the way I am and the way I look. I love to represent my Latinas and my Hispanic industry. That’s my main goal with everything.

Ventura: I really do love going to the gym. The thought of going to the gym? Don’t get me wrong, the thought of going to the gym makes me go, “Oh my God, I have to go to the gym.” (Laughs.) I can feel lazy in the beginning. But once I’m there, I can’t stop. I really do love that feeling of being active and knowing I accomplished something. Lately, I’ve really been into boxing and kickboxing. I love hot yoga and regular gym routines when I don’t have the time to do those other activities. I feel like it really helps with my stress and anxiety. It just brings peace to my mind most of the time.

Fox News: You have over 5 million followers on Instagram. With such a large platform, how do you deal with trolls and negative comments?

Ventura: Well, it used to get to my head when I was a little younger, since I started getting followers when I was younger. But on this day, I don’t really pay attention to any of that. I mostly pay attention to the positive comments, which, thank God, most of what I get on my comments are positive. So I always try to keep that in mind. There are way more positive comments out there than negative. And the negative comments probably don’t come from people that are very happy. So I just try to be nice about it and not really pay it any mind.

Fox News: You’re very open and honest with your followers on Instagram. How do you find that balance of sharing your life, while also keeping certain aspects private?

Ventura: I try to be open with my followers with things that I know could motivate them, things that could help them… be better and do better in life. And then the things that don’t really matter for me to show out there, I try to keep private. But I just try to stay connected with them with the things that really truly matter.

Fox News: As a model, what’s your secret to looking good in photos?

Ventura: When I have a shoot or something important coming up, I make sure that I eat healthy the day before. No dairy, nothing like that because it makes me wake up puffy or tired. I try to work out the day before, or the morning of, if I can. It helps get rid of puffiness or if I’m bloated or anything like that. Also, putting ice on my face in the morning helps a lot with puffiness.

Fox News: Was there ever a point in your career where you felt like giving up because things weren’t going your way? What kept you going?

Ventura: There were definitely different points in my career where I felt like, “What am I doing?” I never felt like giving up, but I have had moments where I’m like, “Is this really what I should be doing?” I’ve gotten so many “No’s” in my career. Should I keep pushing? And thankfully, I have really amazing people around me. I think that’s very important — to have positive people, hardworking people that want the best for you around you.

And I have a really amazing manager, who never gives up on me and always pushes me. I have amazing friends that always push me, never let me get down or give up on anything. So I’m very grateful for the people that I do have around me. And also, as I said before, it’s really important to me to be the face for the Latin industry in the fashion industry right now. I feel like it’s really important for Hispanic girls and girls from Miami as well, where I was born, to have someone to look up to and know that they can do whatever they want with their lives.

Fox News: Who were some of your inspirations growing up?

Ventura: My main inspiration is JLo because she’s a very strong Latina. She came from nothing and pushed through. She really had to work to get to where she is. And every goal, everything that she said she would do, she did it and she did it amazingly. She never gave up. So [she’s] one of my biggest inspirations.

Fox News: You were originally a model for Kanye West’s Yeezy collection. What was that experience like?

Ventura: It was great. I actually got the call a day before the shoot so everything happened so fast. But I was so excited and the team was wonderful. Everything looked amazing. I loved the whole look they did. And [I met] Kanye. He was great, very hardworking. He was very into the shoot and very committed [to the creativity]. That didn’t really surprise me because I know those people have to work really hard. But it was very refreshing to see that he is so involved with his work and the campaign and everything going behind the scenes.

Fox News: You’re all about raising awareness on the environment and animals.

Ventura: It’s true. Before I even got the followers or anything, I’ve always really loved doing volunteer work… I have this crazy love for animals. I recently started doing beach cleanups and I’m very proud of that. I really want to try to do, instead of a meet and greet, I wanted to do something that I could meet my followers, but also do something for them and for the planet. So I thought about the ocean cleanup and making that a meet and greet. That way we can all meet and do something for our community… Things like that really make me happy.

Fox News: What advice would you give to someone who wants to be more involved in helping their environment, but doesn’t know where to begin?

Ventura: I think it’s very easy. Little things, like not using plastic as much. Carry your water bottle everywhere with you instead. That’s something I started doing recently too and it’s so easy… That stops you from using so many plastic bottles.

Little things, like when you have a free day and a few hours, you can meet up with your friends and go clean up your neighborhood park. Or beach cleanups with your friends too, super easy. You can do little things that don’t have to involve a big organization or a big group of people.

Fox News: What are three fun facts our readers should know about you?

Ventura: Maybe something that people don’t really know about me is that I do love to dance. I love to dance to my Latin music… I used to be super shy. I still am working on it and I fight through it. But… that’s why I didn’t get into the industry a lot sooner because I was extremely shy. I could not talk in front of people. So that’s something really cool for me, that I have been able to push through all these fears and shyness and everything.

“I have to admit I did feel a bit slighted and hurt when I was not invited to be part of the ‘Saved by the Bell’ reunion as well as other cast members events, yet of course, I also realized that having this puzzling disorder may have played a major part in that factual decision,” said the actress, likely in reference to her bipolar disorder.

She added: “With that in mind, I am truly thankful for having had the chance to work on a show that has been so successful.”

“They have the right to do that and they’re happy in their element and they can have it, certainly,” Voorhies said when Oz showed her a photo of her castmates out together without her.

“Would you like to be included?” he asked.

“Well, yes,” Voorhees responded. “Family isn’t kept complete without its lead.”

Regulars from the original series such as Mario Lopez, Elizabeth Berkley and Mark-Paul Gosselaar will return for the reboot.
