Fans of early 80s metal may meet this news with a mixed response: The lead singer of KISS, Paul Stanley, said some transphobic things on Twitter that he didn’t realize were transphobic; the lead singer of Twister Sister, Dee Snider — a longtime ally of the LGTBQ community — agreed with Stanley and was dropped from San Francisco’s Pride Parade. However, Paul Stanley has since walked back his earlier statements. “I support those struggling with their sexual identity while enduring constant hostility and those whose path leads them to reassignment surgery,” Stanley wrote. “It’s hard to fathom the kind of conviction that one must feel to take those steps.” While Snider did not double down, he is being defensive instead of contrite. It’s a confusing time for the ’80s heavy-metal community. (AV Club) and (KRON4)

Tom Ford has definitely had work, good work, done on his face over the years, so it’s a little hypocritical coming from him. However, I have to agree with him about people going overboard on the fillers (and buccal fat removal) that are making celebrity faces into odd masks of their former faces. - (Celebitchy)

I don’t watch and have never watched any of the Real Housewives shows, so I don’t know who these people are. That said, evidently people are concern-trolling Kyle Richards’ health over a picture where she was *clearly* sucking in her stomach! If you ask me, the concern would be better spent on why none of these women own mirrors. The fugliest dresses ever. - (Dlisted)
