Well, welcome to a new BuzzFeed series, where I brief you on all the times celebs did just that each week. Let's get into it:

1. Kylie Jenner faced backlash this week for not wearing a hair cap or other PPE while in her skincare lab:

After posting a TikTok and an Instagram of her in the lab, her comments were flooded with people telling her it's unsanitary to not wear a hair cap or PPE. Full story here.

2. One of the detractors was Emmy-winning makeup artist Kevin James Bennett, who got into it with Kylie in the comments:

After Kevin called Kylie out, she said, "This is a small personal space creating my own fun samples and taking pictures for content, nowhere near the mass manufacturing. No one is putting customers at risk! Shame on you Kevin for spreading false information!!!!" Kylie wrote back. Full story here.

3. James Franco faced backlash for his casting as former Cuban leader Fidel Castro:

Actor John Leguizamo spoke out on Instagram saying, "How is this still going on? How is Hollywood excluding us but stealing our narratives as well?" Full story here.

4. Kevin Federline gave a salacious interview with the Daily Mail this week, where he said Britney Spears' children choose not to see her and are upset by her nude photos on Instagram:

"The boys have decided they are not seeing her right now. It's been a few months since they've seen her. They made the decision not to go to her wedding." And regarding Britney's Instagram, he said, "I try to explain to them, 'Look, maybe that's just another way she tries to express herself.' But that doesn't take away from the fact of what it does to them. It's tough. I can't imagine how it feels to be a teenager having to go to high school." Full story here.

5. Well Britney responded with this on her Instagram story:

"It saddens me to hear that my ex-husband has decided to discuss the relationship between me and my children. As we all know, raising teenage boys is never easy for anyone. It concerns me the fact that the reason is based on my Instagram," Britney said. Full story here.

6. But then Britney's husband, Sam Asghari, came in and basically ended Kevin with this message:

"Things that are now considered normal issues and behavior easily dealt with therapy or other ways were magnified to justify a 13-year prison sentence,” Sam said. “Anyone approving of it is wrong or benefiting from it somehow. I will not comment on this matter again except to say I have a job.” Full story here.

7. Kim Kardashian and Pete Davidson broke up after 9 months, with some saying it was a cover-up for Tristan Thompson having a second child with Khloé Kardashian:

The breakup became a whole meme, with people referencing Kanye, Pete's tattoo removal person, and Kris Jenner. Full story here.

8. Addison Rae faced backlash for wearing a Holy Trinity bikini:

People were offended because of its religious connotations, obviously. Full story here.

9. After JoJo Siwa and Candace Cameron Bure went back and forth explaining their version of what led JoJo to dub Candace "the rudest celeb," JoJo's mom Jessalynn posted her version of what happened on Instagram this week:

Instagram: @jessalynnsiwa

"The recent story told wasn’t quite right so here is the real version.
At the end of the day, this story, it’s not about a simple photo; it’s about how you treat people. Real, genuine kindness always goes a long way. It’s super easy to quote a Bible verse when everyone is looking at you, but morals are what you have when no one is looking 🌈," Jessalynn said. Full story here.

10. The She-Hulk trailer dropped, and people criticized the CGI-heavy trailer so much the She-Hulk creative team responded:

Marvel

Tatiana Maslany, who plays She-Hulk in the new series, said, “I know there’s lots of eyes on the CGI and critique or whatever. I do think we have to be super conscious of how work conditions aren’t always optimal and that they’ve made these amazing strides in the industry and the tech." Full story here.

11. Kylie Jenner also faced backlash this weekend after she posted this now-deleted post-concert video of Travis Scott.

Travis' screaming, hitting the door, and raging didn't sit well with people, given the recent Astroworld tragedy, where 10 people died. Full story here.

12. Lady Gaga was hit with a flying object:
