Katie Hopkins has hit out at Sam Smith and branded the Unholy hitmaker as “beastly” after their latest photoshoot. The controversial journalist launched the unprovoked attack on Sam following their recent photoshoot with Perfect Magazine, where the star, 30, wore a tight-fitted corset and string wrapped around their arms.

Grammy award-winning singer-songwriter Sam Smith ignited a firestorm after posing on the cover of Perfect Magazine, stirring conversation surrounding body image and body positivity.  The non-binary British artist debuted on the magazine's cover in recent weeks, prompting many to address what their version of "perfect" looks like.  Pop Culture released a collage of the photos on Twitter, depicting Smith wearing a corset with strings, and another photo appearing him to mimic the "Rosie the Riveter" poster from World War II.  "Sam Smith looks amazing for PERFECT Magazine," the tweet read.  But the photos created a mixed bag of reactions on Twitter.  One user wrote, "Amazing is the wrong word.Try grotesque." Another said, "I won’t say amazing, definitely interesting, creative and original, but not amazing love." "In what universe is wearing clothes that don't fit an amazing look? Like, no," one user said.  Some users also created their own satirical images mocking the singer for his pictures.  "He looks like desperate," one user said.  The "Unholy" singer also posted a photo from the shoot to his Instagram. He was tied up with red ribbons, wearing high heels, latex gloves, and laying on his stomach on the ground.  The caption read, "HONEY ROASTED SAM." The singer has also faced criticism in recent weeks surrounding his "Satanic" Grammy Awards performance, which featured him dressed as the devil with red lights and devil horns.  The show prompted outrage from conservatives, who argued the performance was indicative of the far-left direction Hollywood has been headed in for years.  Bailee Hill is an associate editor with Fox News Digital.

Morrissey has had another dig at Universal Music’s Capitol Records, which was going to release his new album ‘Bonfire Of Teenagers’ and then wasn’t.While it’s not clear exactly why Capitol bailed on the Morrissey record – though we can possibly guess – he reckons that if the Universal label can invest time in promoting Sam Smith’s satanism, it should be able to deliver his new album to some streaming platforms.Morrissey announced a deal with Capitol in the US last year which was meant to result in the LA base of the Universal label releasing ‘Bonfire Of Teenagers’ this month.That deal overtly excluded the UK though, where – of course – Morrissey is now generally deemed too controversial, or at least too annoying, to want to work with. Plus, more specifically, there had been criticism about the album’s title track and its references to the 2017 bombing of the Manchester ArenaHowever, despite that deal in the US, by November the release of ‘Bonfire Of Teenagers’ was on hold.
