Honestly, we could’ve watched that hug go on for 45 more minutes. “We love you back, President Obama,” Clinton captioned an endearing photo of them hugging on stage.

Amy Schumer inhaled a handful of yummy spongy goodness while on her Marie Claire photoshoot, and her judgment-free road manager luckily captured the elegant feast on camera. “If you eat cake with your hands it becomes hand cake,” Schumer captioned the video on Instagram.

3. Rob Kardashian’s Instagram scandal

Breakup rumors were in the air this week when Rob Kardashian suddenly removed every trace of Blac Chyna from his Instagram account, unfollowed her, and deleted every single photo from his page.

A new, private Rob account just surfaced, listed under the name “robkardsahian.” Blac Chyna recently followed this new account which would suggest its legitimacy, although some older posts on the 14 week old account provide reason to believe it’s a fan’s creation.

Robkardsahian posted a photo with Blac Chyna captioned, “I want to say that me and Chy haven't broken up we are just going through some tough times and social media blew it all up. I would prefer if we could stay out of the spotlight and find a resolution 💯💯🔥🔥.”

It’s still unclear whether the account is legitimate or not, but hopefully Blac Chyna and Rob Kardashian’s upcoming E! reality series will shed some light.

Drama between Lindsay Lohan and her fiancé, Russian businessman Egor Tarabasov, has been unfolding in interesting ways lately. Lohan has been in the public eye for 18 years, and earlier in the week she Instagrammed an old photo of a heart-shaped cloud along with a message asking fans to take their magnifying glasses off of her relationship.

A few days later, she took the post down and replaced it with a photo of herself on a boat. In the caption, she addressed her followers to reassure everyone that she is doing well and to apologize for publicizing matters she wanted to keep private.

“Dear friends. I'm good and well. #ATM I am taking time for myself with good friends. I am sorry that I've exposed certain private matters recently. I was acting out of fear and sadness... We all make mistakes. Sadly mine have always been so public," she wrote.

Blogger Kelsey Wells of My Sweat Life recently had a revelationabout body weight that she shared to Instagram. After having a baby, she struggled with maintaining her goal weight, and ultimately came to the conclusion that weight is just a number.

“THANK GOODNESS I finally learned to start measuring my progress by things that matter -- strength, ability, endurance, health, and HAPPINESS,” she wrote on Instagram alongside three photos of her at different weights.

“So to the little teeny tiny voice in the back of my head that still said "😳wtf is this- not 140!?😭😩" last week when I stepped on the scale, I say SCREW. YOU. And I think you should probably say the same to your scale too. #byefelicia 👋🏼🚫⚖ .”

High School Musicalactresses Vanessa Hudgens and Ashley Tisdale reunited for a little Snapchat singalong, which Hudgens shared on Instagram. Unfortunately they didn’t sing “We're All In This Together,” but their medley of Beyoncé’s Lemonade songs was definitely a suitable alternative. It’s nice to see former enemies Sharpay and Gabriella getting on so well.
