Woofy Colombian recording star Maluma brought the heat to his Instagram yesterday when he threw down a video showing off his arm workout and more. Grinding out his final bicep curls, the blond 27-year-old was serving up sweat and abs. And let’s face it, Colombia can get preeeeety humid, so ditching the shirt was a good move (especially for his fans). The short clip has garnered over 3.5 million views in less than a day. https://www.instagram.com/p/CNIR1-5nu96/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link Prior to the gym clip, the “Medellín” singer shared another shirtless snap as he relaxed on a lounger in the sun. https://www.instagram.com/p/CNGIOVdHViD/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link But this is hardly the first time Maluma has caught our eye. The singer has become an accomplished thirst trap on his Insta. Let’s face it – the guy knows how to smolder for the camera. And the Latin superstar is aware of his appeal to the gay community, including persistent rumors that he might be gay. But last year, he swatted those away telling fans in a post:

“People are stupid, aren’t they? How can they say that I am gay? If I were gay, I would have already talked about it. The one who said I’m gay, lend me his girlfriend to see how gay I am. You guys make me laugh.”

Viral Video: Man Spewing Anti-Mask Propaganda Gets A Surprise

File this under 'act like a fool get treated like a fool'

File this under 'act like a fool get treated like a fool'
Viewers noted the irony of the name of the store in the background
File this under ‘Act like a fool, get treated like a fool.’ I don’t advocate violence against anyone, but I see why some folks could relate to this viral video bopping around social media showing an encounter between an anti-mask protester and a cyclist in Vancouver. According to CTV, anti-mask provocateur Alex Lasarev (who apparently spends a good amount of time acting out against healthcare guidance) was shouting his garbage via a megaphone from the window of a moving vehicle. But then a cyclist – who’s clearly had enough of Lasarev’s assholery – approaches the vehicle and begins to beat the car with his bicycle. Ultimately, the cyclist ends up smashing the passenger window. In February, Lasarev took cellphone video of while heckling employees of Kerrisdale Cameras after they refused to serve him because he wouldn’t wear a mask. Vancouver Police are recommending charges of mischief and assault with a weapon against the cyclist. Here’s the video clip. As you can see, some folks are cheering the cyclist even as they denounce the violence.

Monday ManCrush: Zac Efron Served Up Serious Abs On Instagram

After taking time off from Instagram for a couple of months, Zac Efron had his followers gagging thanks to a thirst trap he posted over the weekend.

https://www.instagram.com/p/CM5UghoJT7y/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link

The body-conscious actor is currently in Australia with his brother Dylan  shooting the second season of his Netflix series Down to Earth with Zac Efron.

The show follows Zac traveling around the world exploring healthy sustainable ways to live.

And speaking of healthy and sustainable, the hunky 33-year-old shared pics taken during a workout featuring Bombas socks which donates a pair to charity for every pair purchased. (By the way, Bombas socks are the only socks I wear – they’re awesome).

But, as journalists like to say, it looks like he ‘buried the lede.’

The first photo is nice and all – form, flexibility, yeahyeahyeah… 

But some folks didn’t notice to swipe to the next pic which features Efron’s pretty awesome abs.

A couple of weeks ago, Efron shared a video clip of him getting ‘up close and personal’ swimming with the dolphins. And the Efron bod was truly pumped.

https://www.instagram.com/p/CMdm7f6p9mb/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link

Efron famously beefed up a few years ago for his role in the 2017 big screen version of Baywatch, but later told PEOPLE that in hindsight he felt the amount of working out and nutritional limits to get there were not “a healthy or normal way to live everyday life.” Since that time, he’s brought his fitness goals a little more down to earth.

And speaking of ‘down to earth,’ the film and TV star has also recently posted pics from Oz with an adorable baby kangaroo, driving a huge tractor and taking part in what looks like an Indigenous ceremony.

During his time Down Under, Zac also filmed the survivor thriller Gold in Australia to help him maintain his work visa there from its original 3 month limit to 12 months.

Anti-Masker Punches Store Owner During Protest Stunt

Screen captures of Kevin Johnston looking foolish at a grocery store in British Columbia

Screen captures of Kevin Johnston looking foolish at a grocery store in British Columbia Obnoxious Canadian anti-masker, Kevin Johnston, makes a fool of himself at a store in British Columbia. Johnston, an anti-Muslim vlogger, has made a name for himself for his racist, anti-Indigenous, and anti-Muslim activism. In this incident, he walks into the No Frills store with the intention of taking the products, throwing a $5 bill to the cashier as he exits, and ends up punching the store owner during an altercation in the parking lot. He then declares he’s making a ‘citizens arrest’ over the store owner trying to protect his business. And then the police arrive.

More about Johnston via AntiHate.ca:

Johnston is still awaiting trial for wilful promotion of hatred under Criminal Code Section 319(2). In 2017, Johnston posted a video offering a $1,000 reward for footage of Toronto Muslim students praying at school.

A five-month-long investigation resulted in charges, but in the almost four years since, he has yet to face trial.

Johnston also owes $2.5 million for statements he made about Paramount Fine Foods owner Mohamad Fakih during a protest. At the time, Ontario Superior Court Justice Jane Ferguson called Johnston’s actions toward Fakih “hate speech at its worst.”

Marshmallow soda anyone?

File this under ‘Things that make you go hmm…’ From PEOPLE:

In the most unlikely collaboration since Ed Sheeran and Andrea Bocelli, Peeps has partnered with Pepsi to create Marshmallow Cola, which comes in a three-pack of cute little 7.5-oz. cans.

Sadly, these won’t be available on grocery store shelves this year, but fans can enter the sweepstakes to win some by hashtagging “#HangingWithMyPEEPS” on their social media photos.

The cans come in blue, pink, and yellow, although there is no difference in flavor.

The peeps at PEOPLE got a first taste of the drink and do, indeed, confirm that it does taste like marshmallows. The powers that be describe the soda as “vaguely reminiscent of Lucky Charms.”

Major Biden Back At White House

Look at what a good boy Major Biden is after spotting a tennis ball on the Resolute Desk in the Oval Office as President Biden chats nearby. You may have heard Major had a bit of a ruff start at the White House when he got a bit aggressive with a Secret Service agent. But after going through some training back in Delaware for a few weeks, he returned with the president and First Lady Jill Biden to the White House this week. According to the president, the 3-year-old rescue was just startled by an unfamiliar person in his new home. “You turn a corner, and there’s two people you don’t know at all,” Biden told Good Morning America. “And he moves to protect.” Biden made it clear that Major didn’t bite or penetrate the skin in the incident. An American success story, Major is the first dog to go from rescue shelter to the White House.

Just Because: You Want To See This Baby Squirrel Drink Water

I’m catching up on a lot of chores around the house and wanted to share this serene Sunday moment. Because you really want to see a man give water to a baby squirrel. The squirrel is so calm and trusting. Take a second and just breathe with this.

My Favorite Thing Today: ‘My Turn’

I recently came upon a Twitter thread from 2019 that literally made me stop and catch my breath. On March 4, 2019, one Twitter user asked the question: “What is the kindest thing a stranger has done or said to you?” Several stories were posted, but this one, from Joe in Chicago, stood out for obvious reasons. A phone call to an LGBTQ book store from a confused young man results in a tribal instinct to protect by taking ‘that call.’
