Insta-Buzz: What The Stars Were Up To This Week

This week marked a few special milestones with our stars sharing snaps of not just their own birthdays, but their kids’ as well.

And what’s a weekly Instagram roundup without some envy-inducing vacation posts? Scroll on for more.

Gold905 DJ Vernetta Lopez gave stray community cats a voice

She also gave a shoutout to community cat feeders, like Nancy, who appeared in the snap with her. The cat lover called out those who have heartlessly abandoned their pets and advised others to treat these neighbourhood kitties with compassion and care.

Vernetta then spoke up against those who complain about the little creatures and the homes she has made for them to live in. “If anyone wants to complain, how about complaining about the people who throw trash out their windows? Or fling cigarettes anywhere? Or people who burn cats with their cigarettes and when police are given cctv footage, still get away with it?” she wrote.

Rayson Tan posted this super cute vid of him and his mother-in-law

The actor managed to rope in his mother-in-law, aka Chen Liping’s mum, to do this TikTok trend with him. The filter made the duo seem like they were doing a sideways body wave to a catchy tune and he cheekily added that his “94-year-old mother-in-law [could] shake well”.

Tay Kewei implemented a new reward system for her eldest son

The singer, who recently welcomed her third child, found a good method to dissolve conflict between her two older kids, Shen Momo, four, and Xiao Pian Pian, two.

As Momo had been “throwing tantrums” and being “aggressive” to his younger brother, Kewei implemented a new system, in which the older boy would be rewarded for treating Pian Pian well.

According to her, it has been working and she even caught him being extra sweet to Pian Pian.
