EVERY WEEKDAY MORNING, DailyEdge.ie rounds up the best of the day’s celebrity dirt from the top to the very bottom.
Vanity Fair has released special edition covers to celebrate the 40th anniversary of Star Wars, and they’re absolutely beautiful.
Shot by Annie Liebovitz, each one has a different tag line – ‘The Force’ (above) has Daisy Ridley and Mark Hamill standing on Skellig Michael.
‘The Resistance’ shows Oscar Isaac, John Boyega and Kelly Marie Tran looking badass:
‘The Dark Side’ has all the baddies, obviously, including our own Domhnall Gleeson:
The most striking, however, is the ‘Legacy’ cover, which features the late Carrie Fisher.
Stunning. (Twitter)
Nicki Minaj continues her sound streak by revealing she has been donating money to an Indian village for years.
Earlier this month, the rapper spent an evening on Twitter giving her fans money to pay off their college fees, and it seems there’s no end to her generosity.
Over on Instagram, she revealed that she has been giving money to a small village in India for several years now, with which she has helped build water wells, a computer center, and establish a reading program. She wrote:
I’m so proud of our sisters in India. We’re just getting started. These women are us and we are them!
Kim Kardashian and Madonna have been slammed for posting ‘self-indulgent’ tributes to the victims of the Manchester bombing.
Both stars chose to post pictures of themselves and Ariana Grande, with Kim saying:
Concerts are supposed to be a place where you can let loose and have fun. So scary to not feel safe in this world. @arianagrande I love you
Kim removed the picture after people accused her of making the tragedy “all about her”, and replaced it with these tweets.
Madge’s post, however, is still up:
To be fair to them both, Miley Cyrus posted a picture of herself and Grande with no pushback, and other celebrities shared similar sentiments about concerts being safe spaces. (Cosmopolitan)
