Is Zayn working on his third album?

The former One Direction crooner had fans buzzing on Sunday night (Dec. 13) to share a video on his Instagram Stories from the studio. Though he kept the post cryptic, the short clip showed the sound board light up as a soothing piano and string melody played.

Since the release of his 29-track 2018 album Icarus Falls, the star has shared a handful of singles including “Better” and his Shaed collaboration, “Trampoline.”

The new dad welcomed his first child with model Gigi Hadid back in September.

Lizzo shared her juice detox journey on TikTok on Sunday (Dec. 13), which was met with criticism for promoting “diet culture.”

The star followed up with another video explaining her reasoning for the heath decision, sharing that she’d usually feel “afraid and ashamed” to share her experience with the 10-day detox “because I feel like as a big girl, people expect if you are doing something for health, you’re doing it for a dramatic weight loss, and that is not the case.”

“In reality, November stressed me the f— out,” she continued. “I drank a lot, I ate a lot of spicy things and things that f—ed my stomach up. I wanted to reverse it and get back to where I was. I’m so proud of myself. I’m proud of my results. My sleep has improved, my hydration, my inner peace, my mental stability, my f—ing body, my f—ing skin, the whites of my eyes, I feel and look like a bad b— — and that’s it.”

“I’m a big girl who did a smoothie detox and I wanted to share it with you guys,” she concluded, before adding, “And every big girl should do whatever the f— they want with their bodies.”

@lizzoBig girls do whatever u want with your bodies!!! I’m just as proud of my results from my smoothie detox as I am of my belly curves and swerves ♬ original sound – lizzo

Following Lizzo’s post, a number of fans took to Twitter to support her, expressing frustration over the backlash the singer faces no matter what she decides to do.

The Federal Trade Commission is asking some of the world’s biggest social media and streaming video giants to hand over information regarding their privacy and data practices.

The FTC has issued orders to Amazon, Facebook, TikTok owner ByteDance, YouTube, Twitter, Snap, Discord and WhatsApp asking for a variety of information, including how they collect personal data; how they determine what ads are shown to consumers; whether algorithms or other analytics are applied to personal information; how they measure user engagement; and how their practices impact children and teenagers.

The orders were filed pursuant to Section 6(b) of the FTC Act, which gives the FTC the authority “to conduct wide-ranging studies that do not have a specific law enforcement purpose.”

The Commission voted 4-1 to send the letters, with Republican commissioner Noah Joshua Phillips the lone “no” vote.

These types of studies, while not necessarily tied to specific investigations, can lead to more formal inquiries down the line, depending on what information is uncovered in the course of the study. The companies will have 45 days to submit the information requested by the FTC.

“The Commission’s 6(b) study will lift the hood on the social media and video streaming firms to carefully study their engines,” said FTC commissioners Rebecca Slaughter, Christine Wilson and Rohit Chopra, in a statement. “Policymakers and the public are in the dark about what social media and video streaming services do to capture and sell users’ data and attention. It is alarming that we still know so little about companies that know so much about us.”

“The breadth of the inquiry, the tangential relationship of its parts, and the dissimilarity of the recipients combine to render these orders unlikely to produce the kind of information the public needs, and certain to divert scarce Commission resources better directed elsewhere,” wrote Phillips in his dissent.
