Shawn Mendes Clears The Air About His Sexuality

Everything you need to live well

20-year-old singer, Shawn Mendes is adamant he is not gay following years of speculations by fans.

The singer who recently had an interview with Rolling Stone shut down the gay sexuality rumours by revealing a lot about his personal life which he says has caused a lot of stress.

On rumours as to whether he is gay, Mendes said,

“I’d like to say I don’t care about it, but that’s not true. This massive, massive thing for the last five years about me being gay.”

He went on to say he often analyses his own interviews and analyses his voice and body language to see what vibe he’s giving off. The Bad Reputation crooner added, 

“In the back of my heart, I feel like I need to go be seen with someone like a girl in public, to prove to people that I’m not gay. Even though in my heart I know that it’s not a bad thing. There’s still a piece of me that thinks that. And I hate that side of me.”

Mendes, however, did admit he grew up putting glitter on his eyelids to make his parents laugh and growing up with 15 female cousins, he said he would be “braiding hair and painting nails”.

It would be recalled that some years ago, Mendes addressed rumours about his sexuality when he took to Snapchat and said,

“I noticed a lot of people were saying I gave them a ‘gay vibe’ … first of all, I’m not gay. Second of all, it shouldn’t make a difference if I was or wasn’t.”

As earlier reported, Mendes confirmed to Rolling Stone that he and model, Hailey Baldwin dated about two months before she got engaged to Justin Bieber whom she ultimately ended up marrying.

If You Can't Deal With The Pressure, Stay At Home - Frustrated Mourinho Warns Man Utd Players

Jose Mourinho

Jose Mourinho has warned his Manchester United squad to "stay at home" if they are unable to handle the pressure of playing in front of the Old Trafford crowd.

United are at risk of going winless in four straight European matches at home for the first time in their history when they host Young Boys in the Champions League on Tuesday, but the Red Devils boss denied his players would rather play away from their own ground. 

"I think it would be a lack of respect to the stadium and the fans to say we prefer playing away," Mourinho said.

"If you ask me if I prefer to play at home against Young Boys or to go away to Bern, I prefer always to play at home.

The untold truth of Jet Li

By Phil Archbold
Whenever kung fu comes up in conversation, the movies of Bruce Lee and Jackie Chan are inevitably discussed, but in his native China, Jet Li is held in equally high regard. Born Li Lian Jie on April 26, 1963, the Beijing-native began training aged 8 after his gym teacher put him in touch with legendary Wushu master Wu Bin. He wasn't a "prodigy" student, however; in fact, becoming such an accomplished fighter was a real struggle.

"It was my coach Wu Bin who helped me steer clear of all obstacles and encouraged me never to give up," Li said (via Kung Fu Magazine). "His admonitions and his patience in guiding me along will always remain in my heart of hearts." Li lost his dad when he was a toddler, and Wu Bin is said to have become a father figure over the years, guiding him to greatness along the way. He made the national Wushu team and won several championships, but Li decided to retire at 17 to concentrate on a career in the movies.

He kicked some serious ass in his 1982 debut feature Shaolin Temple, and went on to make a name for himself overseas (The Guardian called him "the Fred Astaire of kung fu"), but today Li is more of a lover than a fighter. His passion is now in philanthropy, though he's been in need of some help himself over the years. From near-death experiences to sham marriages, this is the untold truth of Jet Li.
He was a pre-teen street performer

In 1973, the legendary Bruce Lee passed away under mysterious circumstances, leaving China, America, and the rest of the movie-loving world in shock. The following year, Li (just 11 years old at the time) was doing a kung fu demonstration in Hong Kong when he was approached by a movie producer and asked how he felt about becoming the next Bruce Lee. Speaking to TalkAsia (via CNN) in 2003, Li (whose English wasn't quite as accomplished back then) recalled the encounter.

"When movie studio producer talk to me, 'Hi, little kid, when you grow up, you want to become action star?'" Li said. "I say, 'Okay, why not!' So since then, every year the producer came to me to look at me. Says, 'Okay, you are still a little boy, can't make movie. I want to wait [f
When movie studio producer talk to me, 'Hi, little kid, when you grow up, you want to become action star?'" Li said. "I say, 'Okay, why not!' So since then, every year the producer came to me to look at me. Says, 'Okay, you are still a little boy, can't make movie. I want to wait [for] you.'" He greatly admired Lee, but as a young boy he couldn't imagine that his name would ever be mentioned in the same breath.

"I remember I found him very talented, a very talented actor and martial artist," Li added. "But I don't know how to make movie, I don't know how to become this, I didn't think of it that deep. I was just 11." Li had turned 17 by the time the producer decided he was ready to make his debut feature film. He was cast in Shaolin Temple, the first in a series of movies that established him as a star in China.

T.I. and Tiny’s teenage son, King Harris, stirred up some trouble in school on the Nov. 26 episode of ‘Friends & Family Hustle’ — and his parents struggled to agree on the proper punishment!

After a rough patch at the beginning of this season of T.I. & Tiny: Friends & Family Hustle, things were finally in a good place for T.I. and Tiny…but another argument broke out between the pair during the show’s Nov. 26 episode. Even though the on/off couple was working hard to make their relationship work, they were still living apart at this point, which led to a lack of communication when it came to parenting their son, King Harris. T.I. took it upon himself to discipline King after the 14-year-old started getting failing grades AND disrespecting his teachers at his new school. He punished him by keeping King from all outside activities, leaving the focus solely on school.
