How to Clap Back on Twitter: 13 Examples From Pros Like Chrissy Teigen, Rihanna, J.K. Rowling and More

Though Twitter is ultimately a place to express your thoughts at a rapid pace, it's become a hub for something a little different these days... Feuds and clap-backs . The social media platform makes it easy for the public to access celebrities' views and opinions, which also means it provides easy access for criticism, complaining and trolls. Though some celebs have decided to stay off Twitter for exactly that reason, keeping their thoughts to themselves and avoiding the haters, others have used it as a platform to  stand up for themselves  and others. With that being said, here are 13 examples of how celebs have perfectly clapped back to haters on Twitter: When Someone Tells You You're Not Funny:  Just take  Chrissy Teigen 's advice and hit 'em where it hurts: their low follower count. "You have three (3) followers and follow me," the model wrote when someone dissed her humor. When Someone Shames Your Love Life:  When one Twitter user told  Gigi Hadid  sh

Adele Says She May Never Tour Again (and the Entire World Cries)

Say it ain't so,  Adele … During the middle of her final sold-out show in New Zealand, the Grammy winner opened up to the audience about her personal struggles with touring around the globe. Even though the singer has no problem  filling up stadium arenas for months on end , it seems as though the newlywed isn't too fond of the grueling gig. The always-candid star never shies away from wearing her heart on her sleeve whether she's onstage or being interviewed by countless magazines over the years. So her latest revelation comes as a slight shock for those who eagerly await to see the "Hello" crooner in person. "I don't know if I will ever tour again," she added before concluding with one heartfelt thought. "The only reason I've toured is you. I'm not sure if touring is my bag." "Touring isn't something I'm good at," she shared with the audience last night. "Applause makes me feel a bit vulnerable." So, wa

Nina Dobrev Expresses Her Heartbreak After Her 18-Year-Old Cat Dies: ''My Longest Relationship, My Rock, My Best Friend''

After 18 years,  Nina Dobrev  had to say goodbye to her cat Lynx over the weekend. The actress took to Instagram Saturday to share a  cryptic post  about having the greatest friends even in the "darkest of times." Then, on Monday, she revealed her cat had passed away when she wrote a heartfelt post to honor her "best friend." "To my sweet sweet angel," she began. "As I look back on the last 18 years together, I smile through my tears. You brought me so much joy, love, unlimited cuddles and so many sandpaper kisses. I still remember the first day I brought you home, the size of a tea cup purring as I held you in my hands. You were so fragile and furry, as soft as the worlds tiniest cashmere blanket. I knew in that moment you were my soulmate." She continued, "From there our long journey began and we were inseparable. We grew up together in Toronto, then you followed me to Atlanta, from there we road tripped across the United States through Ne

Kendall Jenner Befriends Paris Jackson: How the Hollywood Stars Developed a Relationship in Private

Keeping up with  Kendall Jenner  or  Paris Jackson  is no easy task. Whether posing in world-famous magazines or traveling the world for once in a lifetime opportunities, both young ladies live a life many people could only dream of. But in between work commitments and different social circles, the pair has created an unlikely friendship many didn't see coming. Over the weekend, both Paris and Kendall were spotted at the Melrose Trading Post in Los Angeles shopping for antiques, vintage goods and other flea market items together. According to a source, the pair stopped by around 2 p.m. where they were joined by  Kylie Jenner 's friend  Jordyn Woods . At one point during the shopping trip, Kendall tried on a cowboy hat while donning a neon green top with jeans. While some may think this outing came out of nowhere, another source says that they were introduced during Paris Fashion Week that occurred between February 28 and March 8. They have been in touch ever since then. "T

The Real Story Behind Eminem’s Private World: From Controversial Rapper & Rehab to Fatherhood & Multimillion-Dollar Empires

It's been nearly 20 years since Marshall Mathers was first introduced to the world. The 1999 release of  Eminem 's  The Slim Shady LP  marked the start of the rappers illustrious (and whirlwind) career that would see its fair share of ups and downs, but there's surprisingly very little we actually know about the 44-year-old. Sure, we know about his struggles with sobriety, his controversy sparked by the many offensive and controversial lyrics in his hit songs and his success as an artist—but how much do we know about the real man behind the fame and fortune? Let's investigate. First and foremost, Em has never shied from expressing himself when it comes to, well, everything, but especially his relationships with perhaps the two most important women in his life: his mother and the  mother of his daughter ,  Hailie Jade Scott Mathers . The Grammy-winner has included countless disses towards his mom,  Debbie Mathers , on his albums, so much so that she filed a $10 million d

Rihanna's Psycho Moment on Bates Motel Was So Perfectly Rihanna

We are hereby starting a petition to get Rihanna on more TV shows.  We'd also be happy to see her in more horror movies, because tonight she took an iconic horror movie moment and made it a different kind of iconic—the only kind of iconic that can come from Rihanna stepping out of the scene with a "Screw this s--t!"  That is, in fact, exactly what she did when we thought she was about to be murdered in the fashion of Psycho's most infamous scene, where Marion (originally played by  Janet Leigh , now played by Rihanna) gets murdered in the shower.  This time, however, Marion just takes a shower, and then she gets out of the shower, saying "screw this s--t" as she goes. Instead, Norman ( Freddie Highmore ) kills her cheating boyfriend Sam Loomis ( Austin Nichols ), and Marion gets to leave completely unharmed.  A&E So not only did Rihanna just help subvert the tropey image of the beautiful young woman dying naked in the shower, but she did it with exactly

Nick Jonas Reveals He's Talked With Jennifer Lopez About Starring Together in Bye Bye Birdie: "It Could Happen"

Jennifer Lopez  and  Nick Jonas  are talking about working alongside each other in  Bye Bye Birdie . During an appearance on  Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen  earlier this month, J.Lo revealed that Jonas is on her dream list of possible actors to take on the role of heartthrob Conrad Birdie in the upcoming NBC live musical adaptation of the 1963 movie. And now, the "Jealous" singer tells me that he and Lopez have actually talked about him joining the project. Lopez, who will play secretary Rosie Alvarez, is the only actor currently attached to the project. "I don't know if it's going to happen or not," Jonas said while promoting  Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle  at CinemaCon in Las Vegas. "I love Jen, but we'll see. I'm not sure. It could happen." Columbia Pictures Jonas'  Jumanji  co-star  Jack Black  joked, "I wanna know what's up with J.Lo. What's going on? Look, he's getting a little red. He's blushing a

Why 2017 Is Shaping Up to Be Lady Gaga's Strongest Year Yet

As  Lady Gaga  rings in her 31st birthday today, she's seeing herself at one of the highest points of her life, both professionally and personally. Simply stated: 2017 has been  her  year. Though Mother Monster has pretty much always reigned with her eclectic style and  serious vocal range , we've seen her take her career to a whole new level this year with new projects, major headlines and a whole new side to her musical talent. Career stuff aside, we've also seen her excel on a personal level, finding love after a  difficult heartbreak  and making some of her biggest dreams come true. So let's dive a little deeper into just why this had been her strongest year yet: The Superbowl:  Let's start with her biggest moment of the year so far: that  insane  Superbowl performanc e ! She kicked off the show by jumping from the roof of Houston's NRG Stadium, and that was only the beginning. Gaga went non-stop with hit after hit throughout the 13-minute performance and di

How Kendall and Kylie Jenner Survived the Reality Show Kids Curse

It's a story that's been told a million times, a tale everyone knows by heart. The path of reality show children, thrust into the spotlight and onto television screens by their fame-hungry or naive, or sometimes both, parents. There's the gradual rise, while America gets to know these children who are now part of pop culture, and then the skyrocketing fame, the plateau so small it barely registers, and then a big fall. The fall is what we know as the reality kids curse. History tells us that it's all but impossible to cast kids in a reality show without something going horribly wrong. Just look at the Duggars, or  Teen Mom , or any of the  Real Housewives . Trouble befalls families who turn their lives over to the entertainment-industrial complex, and it hits the kids the hardest. So when a pair of sisters are practically raised in front of the ever-present cameras, growing up among a production crew and playing out every transition and awkward year with a side of glam
