FLOTUS spox confirms Mrs. Trump wore a jacket to visit border kids that reads: "I really don't care. Do you?" Spox says: "It's a jacket. There was no hidden message. After today's important visit to Texas, I hope the media isn't going to choose to focus on her wardrobe." pic.twitter.com/Bp4Z8n455G
Melania Trump is either clueless or being sabotaged by her stylist, because she wore a green Zara military jacket with the words "I Really Don't Care, Do U?" scrolled across the back of it to visit a Texas detention center for migrant children today. Who let her leave the White House in this?!
The reason for her visit? To witness first-hand what her President husband's policies are doing to these families seeking asylum, and to get some tips on how to improve the situation while still respecting immigration laws.
"She wanted to see everything for herself. She wants to see these children and she wants to help children. … She wants to see what’s real. She wants to see a realistic view," the First Lady’s communications director, Stephanie Grisham, said in a statement.
"She supports family reunification. She thinks that it’s important that children stay with their families. … She’s seen the images. She’s heard the recordings… She was on top of the situation before any of that came out. She was concerned about it. … The images struck her, as a mother, as a human being," Grisham added.
As if her ensemble wasn't bad enough, the FLOTUS reportedly told the kids she met with "good luck" on her way out after the visit. Face palm!
Celebrities were quick to react to the former model's blunder on social media, too.
"The jacket Melanie wore on the way to meeting the kids held in internment camps has “I don’t really care, do you?†written on the back. F*ck these people and f*ck anyone who says we should be polite to them or maintain decorum," Kathy Griffin tweeted. "Is @FLOTUS so unfamiliar with English that she doesn’t know what the back of her jacket today says? That her initiative #BeBest is grammatically incorrect? Is there NO ONE ON HER STAFF to help her with these things?" Jane Lynch joked.
It didn't end there, though.
"What the actual f*ck is going on?" Andy Cohen tweeted along with an image of Melania boarding the plane. "Melania Trump attempts her fashion spin on let them eat cake! Meanwhile toddlers are locked in cages. This administration is a who’s who of Classless bottom dwellers," Patricia Arquette pointed out.
She's not the only one in Donald Trump's inner circle catching heat. Daughter Ivanka got ruthlessly trolled after thanking her father on social media for reversing the family separation policy. "Thank you [President Trump] for taking critical action ending family separation at our border. Congress must now act + find a lasting solution that is consistent with our shared values;the same values that so many come here seeking as they endeavor to create a better life for their families," she tweeted Wednesday.
It's really starting to feel like everyone in the United States is on one, long episode of Punk'd, and Ashton Kutcher is going to pop out at any moment and tell us this Presidency was one of his bonehead pranks!

This makes us sad for her.
Demi Lovato has courageously revealed that she recently relapsed after more than six years of sobriety. She made the confession in her new song "Sober," and the lyrics are truly heartbreaking.
"Mama, I’m so sorry I’m not sober anymore / And daddy please forgive me for the drinks spilled on the floor/And I’m sorry for the fans I lost who watched me fall again / I wanna be a role model, but I’m only human," she croons in the tune.
"I’m sorry that I’m here again / I promise I’ll get help / It wasn’t my intention / I’m sorry to myself," another verse goes.
The songstress has publicly battled addiction, mental illness, self-harm and an eating disorder, but appeared to have conquered her demons in recent years.
The chart topper hinted at a big revelation in some of her tweets back in May.
"There’s nothing like the truth. The honest to God, uncomfortable and shocking truth. Sometimes you have to share your story in the most honest way possible… for me that’s through music. Sometimes you have to end an era to begin talking about a new chapter of your life. I feel like I’ve grown more in the past two months than I have in years. I feel like a new woman and I’m so grateful for my life today,†she wrote on Twitter.

We were starting to think she might never go back!
Kim Kardashian is back in Paris for the first time since her terrifying jewelry robbery back in October 2016, and this time she brought Kanye for some protection, along with a billion bodyguards!
The couple came to the City of Light to support pal Virgil Abloh and his debut collection for Louis Vuitton at the label’s spring/summer 2019 menswear show. The pair sat front row with Kylie and her man Travis Scott, and 'Ye was so proud and moved by the presentation, he was in full-on tears at the end!
Kimmy K has really cemented her place in the fashion world, but it wasn't long ago that her hubby had to intervene and open her eyes to the world of high-end designers.
"I always thought I had really good style until I met my husband and he told me that I had the worst style. He was really nice about it and cleaned out my whole closet. I probably had 250 pairs of shoes and when we were done cleaning it out, I had two pairs left and I cried," she said during a Business of Fashion West summit in Los Angeles on Monday.
"There were racks of clothes of designers I had never heard of before, like Lanvin and Givenchy. [Kanye] had all these fashion books and one by Carine Roitfeld and said, ‘One day Carine will style you,’ and I was like, ‘Yeah right, I don’t know who this is.’ Now, she’s one of my good friends. I wanted to learn. I wasn’t offended when he said that. When he did that, he wanted to teach me," she added.

It's summa summa summatime!
Kim and Kanye's daughter North hit the beach in Malibu yesterday with her nannies and bodyguards, and the 5-year-old wasn't scared at all about running into the ocean and frolicking in the waves.
Little Nori seems to be taking some fashion tips from her famous mom, too! She's rocking the same extreme sports metallic shades that Kimmy K has been donning lately, and we're not huge fans of the eyewear. Still, NW looked adorable!
The eldest of the West clan recently got to meet her cousin, Khloe's daughter True, but it will be a couple years before the little one can join her on the sand.
"It’s very good that Khloe’s back. I felt kind of bad, they came in town on Sunday and the whole family… We, like, spaced it out so she wouldn’t be too overwhelmed," Kim told Access Hollywood at the opening of her KKW Beauty pop-up store on Tuesday.
"First it was, like, Kourtney [Kardashian] and all of her kids, then me and all of my kids, then my mom, Kylie [Jenner], everyone was just coming over to see the baby and wanting to introduce my kids to their new little cousin. So it was really good to see her and have her back," she added.
This isn't what we're used to getting from the singer.
Selena Gomez stars in a short movie shot by artist Petra Collins, and the "Come & Get" songstress' fans are creeped out by the dark clip.
In the video, the brunette beauty lies naked in a bathtub of murky water, and removes a mask off her face before it reappears on her back. There's clearly a hidden meaning, and we think they're trying to visually tell the story of having to wear a mask on your true self to fit into society. That's just our guess, though!
"I had to stop watching. This is not Sel, she changed. I know everyone changes, grows up, but now Selena is half-Petra and I don’t like it (just like too many Selenators)," one user wrote. "Please tell me Selena isn't doing the Taylor Swift and trying to explore her "dark side." It doesn't work for her," wrote another.
SG and Collins have been friends for years, and their close relationship lends itself well to their projects.
"People don’t know but my personal life ties into the work we do together because [she] knows things about my life that nobody knows and I know a lot about [her] life that nobody knows. It comes out, somehow," Gomez told Dazed in a July 2017 interview.

That was fast!
The man believed to have gunned down XXXTentacion outside a motorcycle dealership was arrested on Wednesday evening in South Florida and booked for first degree murder.
Suspect Dedrick D. Williams, 22, has a lengthy rap sheet, with arrests for grand theft auto, cocaine possession, weapons possession, domestic violence, and aggravated assault with a firearm. He also once held a gun to his girlfriend's head during an argument! All in all, the dude has over 11 felonies, and it sounds like he's about to get his biggest one yet.
The late Soundcloud star's family learned of the arrest late Wednesday evening.
TMZ reports there are arrest warrants out for two other individuals that authorities believe were involved in the crime, but they've yet to be taken into custody or identified.
Kourtney Kardashian and Younes Bendjima are currently vacationing together in Rome, and they've been hitting up all the most popular tourist spots and restaurants since they got there. They even stopped by the Trevi fountain to throw in a penny and make a wish. We know Kourt's wish was probably for her boy toy to pop the question!
For a while we'd thought they called it quits because they weren't spending as much time together, but apparently we were wrong.
The mother-of-three is reportedly eager to have a ring on it, even though she's been trying her best to play it cool.
A source tells X17:
"Kourtney is totally in love with Younes. She never thought she'd find love again after Scott, especially since she's so picky and seems to dislike everyone. She shocked herself by falling for Younes, and she really believes he's The One for her. He has that cocky confidence like Scott did that she's attracted to, but the difference is he treats her well and with respect. She would absolutely say yes to a proposal."
We wouldn't be the least bit surprised if they're engaged by the end of 2018. Keeping Up with the Kardashians needs a new storyline, after all!

They put their money where their mouths are!
George Clooney and wife Amal have just donated a whopping $100K to help children separated from their parents at the border due to Donald Trump's immigration policy, and they were motivated in part to set an example for their twins Ella and Alexander.
"At some point in the future our children will ask us: Is it true? Did our country really take babies from their parents and put them in detention centers? And when we answer yes, they’ll ask us what we did about it. What we said. Where we stood. Today, the Clooney Foundation for Justice will donate $100,000 to the Young Center for Immigrant Children’s Rights," the couple said in a statement to Us Weekly.
"This administration’s policy disregards international law and basic principles of human decency. To treat children in such a cruel manner not only violates their legal rights but also their basic needs. We are doing everything we can to advocate on behalf of the thousands of children who are separated and alone, and we are very grateful for the generous support of George and Amal Clooney and the Clooney Foundation for Justice — it could not be more vital at this time," Young Center for Immigrant Children’s Rights executive director Maria Woltjen said in a thank you response.
The pressure and backlash must have gotten too great, because this afternoon, President Trump signed an executive order reversing his family separation policy.
"I didn't like the sight or the feeling of families being separated. Ivanka feels very strongly about it. My wife feels very strongly about it. I think anybody with a heart feels very strongly about it," the POTUS said announcing the news.
We love when celebs lend their name, time, and money to a good cause!
