Are they taking a break? Or has the romance gone bad?

Thankfully, according to Lady Gaga's representative, it is the former, despite reports about the US pop star and her US actor-boyfriend Taylor Kinney calling off their engagement.

The 30-year-old singer confirmed it on her Instagram, penning a heartfelt message to her followers yesterday.

Calling themselves "just like any couple who have ups and downs", Gaga blamed their busy work schedules for the time out.

"We are both ambitious artists, hoping to work through long distance and complicated schedules to continue the simple love we have always shared," she wrote.

"Please root us on. We're just like everybody else and we really love each other."

The couple's romance started in 2011 after they met on the set of her music video for You And I.

Kinney, 35, proposed on Valentine's Day last year with a heart-shaped diamond ring.

 

Taylor and I have always believed we are soulmates. Just like all couples we have ups and downs, and we have been taking a break. We are both ambitious artists, hoping to work through long-distance and complicated schedules to continue the simple love we have always shared. Please root us on. We're just like everybody else and we really love each other.

Jones quits Twitter after online abuse

Ghostbusters actress Leslie Jones has been so badly affected by Twitter trolls that she quit the social media platform.

The 48-year-old African-American comedienne was a target of racist abuse for months after she was cast as part of the titular quartet in director Paul Feig's remake of the 1984 classic.

The cyber-bullying became so bad that Jones pleaded with Twitter to help stop the abuse.

Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey promptly stepped in, asking her to message him directly.

The company later tweeted a statement, making a stand that it would not tolerate abusive behaviour.

"We've taken action on many of the accounts reported to us by both Leslie and others," it read.

"We rely on people to report this type of behaviour to us, but we are continuing to invest heavily in improving our tools and enforcement systems to prevent this kind of abuse. We realise we still have a lot of work in front of us before Twitter is where it should be on how we handle these issues."


Dress sells out after Trump flaunts it

Is Melania Trump, the wife of US presidential candidate Donald Trump, set to become the new Kate Middleton?

The 46-year-old Slovenian designer and former model scored a major fashion coup at the Republican National Convention on Monday night.

Her US$2,190 ($2,975) Roksanda Ilincic white dress was such a hit that it was sold out on Net-a-Porter within an hour of the convention.

Mrs Trump bought it off the online designer fashion site herself, and paired it with a pair of Christian Louboutin heels without the assistance of a stylist.


There are still so many movies made starring 50 men and one woman! A white male actor should never be allowed to complain about anything. Shut up and sit in the corner. 

- US actress Patricia Clarkson, who is sick of sexism in Hollywood
