Doja Cat says Twitter blue tick creates “higher chance that you’re a complete loser”

Tucker Carlson said that he is planning to relaunch his show on Twitter.

Todd Spangler NY Digital Editor Tucker Carlson announced that he will bring a version of his Fox News show — which he lost after getting fired last month — on Twitter, the social platform owned by Elon Musk. “Starting soon, we’ll be bringing a new version of the show we’ve been doing for the last six and a half years to Twitter,” Carlson said in a video shared Tuesday on the platform. “Free speech is the main right you have. Without it, you have no others.” It’s not immediately clear if Carlson has a deal with Musk to launch the show on Twitter or if he’s doing it independently. Carlson will forgo at least $25 million to break his noncompete clause with Fox News, according to Puck News’ Dylan Byers. Prior to Carlson’s announcement of the forthcoming Twitter show, a lawyer for the former Fox News host sent a letter to the cable network accusing Fox News of “fraud and breach of contract,” Axios reported. That is presumably intended to set the stage for Carlson to claim he’s not bound by a noncompete provision of his contract with Fox News.

McKinley Franklin editor Elon Musk announced Saturday that Twitter will allow media publishers to charge users on a per-article basis in the near future. The new feature will let media publishers allow users to acquire access to articles for a one-time fee, as opposed to purchasing a full subscription. “Rolling out next month, this platform will allow media publishers to charge users on a per article basis with one click,” Musk tweeted. “This enables users who would not sign up for a monthly subscription to pay a higher per article price for when they want to read an occasional article.” Musk anticipates that the new Twitter feature will be a “win-win” for readers and media publishers. 

Todd Spangler NY Digital Editor Elon Musk’s Twitter has stirred up a new wave of confusion. After the multibillionaire tech baron made good on his threat to yank Twitter blue check-marks from celebrities who weren’t paying him $8 per month last week, the social network has reinstated the badge for many — including on accounts of people who have died. The Musk-owned social network on April 20 revoked verified blue check-mark status from thousands of accounts belonging to celebrities, athletes, politicians and other “notable” figures granted under the company’s previous ownership. The hope was that taking away the “free” Twitter blue check-mark would boost revenue from subscriptions to Twitter Blue, while Musk has also framed it as democratizing the user-verification process.

Broadcaster Rylan Clark was among the celebrities left baffled after waking up to find that his Twitter blue tick had been reinistated. It appears Twitter accounts with more than a million followers have had blue ticks reinstated by owner Elon Musk without having to pay a subscription fee, leaving users confused.

Earlier this week, thousands of Twitter users lost their 'blue tick', which signified whether or not a person - often celebrities, journalists and significant users - was verified. Many have been vocal about refusing to pay to keep their blue tick, however, Martin Lewis has defended his decision to do so.

Doja Cat was sick during her stand-out fashion moment. In an interview with L'Officiel, the 27-year-old rapper reveals that she was having stomach issues while covered in 30,000 hand-placed Swarovski crystals at Paris Fashion Week.Doja tells the outlet that she «wanted to do something really major» for the Schiaparelli presentation, and fell «in love» with the sketches she received ahead of the event.«I got to Paris, and I did a few shows before Schiaparelli. Super smooth, super easy, fun, loved it.

Todd Spangler NY Digital Editor The squeaky wheel gets the Twitter blue check-mark, it seems. After Twitter’s mass revocation Thursday of thousands of “legacy” verified blue check-marks, carrying out owner Elon Musk’s long-promised purge of the “corrupt” system, several high-profile accounts still had the iconic blue badges… even though they evidently aren’t paying for Twitter Blue (the subscription service whose perks now include a blue check-mark). Those included NBA superstar LeBron James, actor William Shatner and author Stephen King — each of whom had tweeted that they wouldn’t pay for Twitter Blue or had complained about Musk’s switch in the verification program.

Ricky Gervais and Richard Osman have reacted to losing their “blue tick” on Twitter. At the behest of Twitter CEO Elon Musk, the social media platform finally removed the “legacy verified” marks on celebrity profiles, with users now needing to pay a monthly fee in order to be “verified”.

blue checks that helped verify their identity and distinguish them from impostors on the Elon Musk-owned social media platform.After several false starts, Twitter began making good on its promise Thursday to remove the blue checks from accounts that don’t pay a monthly fee to keep them. Twitter had about 300,000 verified users under the original blue-check system — many of them journalists, athletes and public figures.

Twitter‘s decision to remove its verified blue ticks.From today (April 20), the checkmark that authenticates legacy accounts on the platform will be removed from all profiles unless users opt-in to pay for Twitter Blue subscriptions.This change is “more about treating people equally”, according to Elon Musk, who acquired Twitter in late 2022 for a staggering $44billion. He added that the move would “offer subscribers a way to enhance and customize their Twitter experience”.As the blue tick began to vanish from the site, various musicians, comedians, TV personalities, and other stars from across the entertainment industry tweeted their reactions.Yungblud wrote: “I ain’t verified anymore … kinda hard.” The Doncaster artist then shared a selfie in response to a fan who asked him to “prove” it was the real Dominic Harrison.

Twitter has finally removed blue checkmarks from legacy verified accounts and now only people who have Twitter Blue subscriptions have the checkmarks.

Twitter has begun a wide-scale process of removing the blue check marks from verified account holders, a large swath of the platform’s most high-profile users including journalists, celebrities and even Pope Francis.

Twitter took away legacy verified checkmarks on Thursday (April 20), and celebrities are reacting to the news.
