What's next for not caring?
Instagram is mostly The Bad Place now, to the point where I struggle to know what it's even for. It's all influencers and ads — including some very specific ones for devices to improve neck humps which feel extremely targeted!!! But sometimes, you stumble upon someone who reminds you why the internet is still occasionally, The Good Place. And for me, that person is Melani Sanders (@justbeingmelani). She is the creator of the now-viral We Do Not Care Club, a series of videos in which she lists things, in her incredible deadpan, that she and her fellow peri-menopausal and menopausal women don't care about anymore. What does that mean? I'll let her explain: Advertisement Why this ad? 'We are tired of carrying the emotional load, tired of being polite about pain. And tired of pretending to care about things that no longer serve us.' A random sampling: 'We don't care if something is dishwasher safe. It is now. And will be from now on.' 'We do not care if we were using the flashlight on our phone to look for our phone.' 'We do not care about summer bodies. Summer is getting the same body as every other season.' The We Do Not Care Club has become a full-fledged movement, with over a million people following Sanders across her social platforms since she posted the first video in May. The View is talking about it. Katie Couric Media is talking about it. This surprises me not at all. I think there is a massive appetite for peri- and menopause-related content, especially content that, as Sanders says, sees women showing up with 'humour, vulnerability and fierce authenticity.' For too long, this phase of life has been shrouded in mystery. It's not shocking to me that a culture that prizes youth will tell you everything about when you get your period – which is still not much!!! – and nothing about when your period stops. I am living for all these smart, hilarious women talking about this, including the women of Small Achievable Goals , the CBC Gem workplace comedy about menopause (you can read my interview with them here.) I am also living for women shedding societal expectations and pressures and choosing peace and freedom instead. This is how culture changes. Tell me Nexties: what do you not care about anymore?

Whoopi Goldberg announces 'crazy' new role in Italian soap opera
Actress and "The View" co-host Whoopi Goldberg declared in a social media video Friday that she is joining the cast of Italian soap opera "Un Posto Al Sole." "I just wanted to stop in to say how happy I am to be joining the cast of 'Un Posto Al Sole,'" she said in a viral video shared on Instagram, with what appears to be the Italian coastline behind her. "They know it's a crazy idea, I know it's a crazy idea, but what a wonderful thing to do. So I'm looking forward to it. I'm excited." "I know my Italian is not perfect," she added, "But we've worked it out." The video was shared on the official Instagram of Fremantle Italia, which is the production and distribution company behind "Un Posto Al Sole." The soap opera has been in syndication for decades, having first debuted in 1996. The Internet Movie Database describes the show as one where "The daily events of the inhabitants of the 'Palladini Palace' are intertwined with each other between love stories and deceptions, and the splendid Gulf of Naples as a background." The production company offered further details about how she will take part in their show, writing, "A surprise is coming to #UnPostoAlSole: [Whoopi Goldberg] joins the cast!Her character will be part of a special storyline and will appear in multiple episodes in 2026." Goldberg has frequently made headlines with her controversial political hot-takes on ABC's "The View," such as when she compared living in the U.S. to Iran last week, but she initially rose to fame as an entertainer, and has won Emmy, Grammy, Oscar and Tony awards. She also branched out to comic books in 2023, where she co-wrote a comic book about a menopausal Black superhero grandmother.

Lauren Sánchez made this subtle change after marrying Jeff Bezos
Lauren Sánchez is making changes already after tying the knot with Amazon billionaire Jeff Bezos. The couple officially wed at their lavish, star-studded ceremony in Venice, Italy, on Friday, June 27. The bride wore a Dolce & Gabbana silhouette dress for the occasion. The philanthropist made the marriage official in the modern way: on social media. Sánchez shifted her display name to "Lauren Sánchez Bezos" and Instagram handle to @laurensanchezbezos hours after she was spotted making her way to the wedding ceremony. Eagle-eyed wedding onlookers noticed that the former guest cohost of ABC talk show "The View" also made another subtle change: Only three photos remain on her Instagram feed as of June 27. Sanchez, 55, and Bezos, 61, had fans watching and waiting for them to tie the knot in an extraordinarily luxurious Venice wedding, after multiple days of A-list nuptial events. Cameras captured the couple departing for the ceremony: Two hours after his fiancée boarded the boat, Bezos was snapped waving to the crowd during the spectacle. Sánchez, who was pictured boarding a sleek motorboat from the luxe Aman hotel to head to her wedding ceremony, donned her designer dress away from the paparazzi cameras, choosing a wedding gown with a high-neck, adorned with 180 silk chiffon-covered priest buttons. She paired it with a tulle-and-lace veil, inspired by a similar veil that iconic Italian actress Sophia Loren wore in the 1958 film "Houseboat," according to a Vogue magazine exclusive. Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez set to tie the knot in wedding ceremony: Live updates A-list guests from the couple's orbit were spotted by photographers on the way to the ceremony including sisters Kim and Khloe Kardashian, their youngest sisters Kendall and Kylie Jenner and family matriarch Kris Jenner; R&B superstar Usher; Oprah Winfrey; model Brooks Nader; Leonardo DiCaprio and his model girlfriend Vittoria Ceretti; and Bezos' fellow billionaire Bill Gates. The couple's controversial luxury Venetian wedding will have no legal status under Italian law, suggesting the couple may have already legally wed in the United States, avoiding the bureaucracy associated with an Italian marriage. Bezos' multimillion-dollar affair has drawn ire online and in person, as protests erupt in the region calling for the Blue Origin owner to pay more in taxes amid global frustrations about class and wealth divides.

Pop star's latest album cover slammed for depicting ‘humiliation ritual'
Sabrina Carpenter's latest album cover has drawn criticism from fans and media personalities alike. The 'Espresso' singer shared the cover art for her new album, 'Man's Best Friend,' on Instagram Wednesday, June 11. The cover shows the 26-year-old on her hands and knees, with one hand on the leg of a man who has her by the hair. In an interview with Rolling Stone that was done before the album cover was revealed, Carpenter said she was 'living in the glory of no one' knowing anything about the upcoming project. 'I can not care,' Carpenter told the outlet. 'I can not give a (expletive) about it, because I'm just so excited.' While World Music Views said on Facebook 'Man's Best Friend's' cover 'suggest a tongue-in-cheek commentary on power dynamics, gender, and self-possession,' many fans found it repulsive, offensive and degrading to women. 'Are we really gonna use 'irony' as an excuse here?,' one Instagram user commented on Carpenter's post. 'There's NOTHING ironic about this picture.' 'It's not a very empowering image for women,' another user commented. 'I think it's a mistake since most her fans are women and as a DV (domestic violence) survivor, I find it uncomfortable and I'd rather see her empowered than like that.' Other comments included 'this cover art is so disgusting,' 'Sabrina this is not the slay you think it is,' and 'is this a humiliation ritual?' The backlash over the cover for 'Man's Best Friend' was a topic of discussion on 'The View' this week. Alyssa Farah Griffin compared the criticisms to that of other major artists, such as Brittany Spears and Janet Jackson. 'Oh boo-hoo, it sounds like the '90s to complain about an album cover,' she said. 'They're always provocative, you want to grab people's eyes.' Griffin also defended Carpenter by citing her music — including the album's lead single 'Manchild' which just dropped last week — as being 'all about women's empowerment.' Sara Haines then chimed in saying, 'It's an important distinction that she's choosing it and she's the powerful one.' Joy Behar, however, mentioned that messages like these are 'subtle' and that people often miss the deeper meaning. 'People just see pictures. They don't know the fine print a lot of times,' she said. 'I think that imagery is important and even if her lyrics are strong and she's a feminist, I just think about young girls seeing that who may not understand the brand,' added Sunny Hostin, who admitted to not knowing about Carpenter beforehand. Whoopi Goldberg compared the cover to a scene from the 1984 comedy 'This Is Spinal Tap,' in which Fran Drescher's character, Bobbi Flekman, tells Tony Hendra's character, Ian Faith, about the backlash over an 'offensive' and 'sexist' album cover involving a naked woman on all fours wearing a dog collar. 'The girl is doing her thing,' Goldberg said. 'God bless her.' This is not the first time Carpenter's work has sparked controversy. In 2023, the pop star received backlash when she filmed scenes of her dancing provocatively on the altar at the Blessed Virgin Mary Catholic Church in Brooklyn, New York. The scenes were used in the music video of Carpenter's hit song 'Feather.' Despite the church's pastor claiming he was unaware of the shoot, Carpenter told Variety that she had advance permission, jokingly noting, 'Jesus was a carpenter.' 'Man's Best Friend,' which serves as the follow-up to Carpenter's 2024 Grammy-winning album 'Short n' Sweet,' will be released on Aug. 29.
