Wendy has since apologized for her comments in the ever-classic Wendy way: “What I will do is apologize if I hurt your feelings. But my opinion still stands.” Honestly, I hope they everyone involved milks this press cycle for everything it’s worth. You could even say that Wendy did Christie and her daughter a favor. Without the accusation, we wouldn’t even know who Sailor Brinkley-Cook was, let alone be reading an interview with her in the pages of Us Weekly! [Page Six]

How many celebrity participants make a trend? Because this year alone, Irina Shayk and Miley Cyrus have both used the beauty of nature as an Instagram backdrop to announce their single status. After splitting with Bradley Cooper early in the summer, Shayk posed in knitwear against a backdrop of crumbling Icelandic glaciers as if to remind us that everything ends, even human civilization’s existence on this planet. When news of Cyrus’s split from Liam Hemsworth first hit the internet a few months later, she posed in athleisure-wear against the backdrop of an Italian mountain range and explained:

Don’t fight evolution, because you will never win. Like the mountain I am standing on top of , which was once under water, connected with Africa, change is inevitable.

Now, for the second time this year, she’s using that same format to announce her single status. Somewhere in the Grand Canyon—another natural feature created by the changing tectonic plates beneath North America—she flipped her hair and posed against the gaping chasm.

Her caption, “Extra,” could be an abbreviation of “Extra, extra! Read all about it!” That itself might allude to the press her recent breakup with Kaitlynn Carter has received. Either way, please be safe up their on... the climb... Miley! [Instagram]
