The unrelenting divorce drama between global superstars Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban took a sad turn as their eldest daughter appeared to briefly unfollow her dad on Instagram this week.

Now, this may not seem like a seismic event to anyone with an upright body posture, but in the hunched-over Gen Z world of social media, it's the equivalent of penning 'Daddy Dearest.'

Perhaps even Sunday Rose, 17, didn't realize that digitally ditching her famous father would set off such a chain-reaction – especially since she re-followed him within hours – but every aspect their lives are scrutinized to the micron, any fracture, dismissed as whisper in a typical family, is interpreted as a cataclysmic eruption.

Cowboy Keith's fans might cry foul and claim this is proof of Nicole using their children (Sunday Rose and Faith Margaret, 15) for emotional blackmail, poisoning their hearts and minds against him, but look at it from the girls' perspective: they live with their mom, who is sad, yet soldiering on and – by most reported accounts – didn't want the marriage to end.

I've been through a divorce and it absolutely sucks. But sometimes that's where life takes you and you must do your best to move forward without getting bogged down in bitterness at the person you chose to bring kids into the world with.

I am fortunate enough that the person I collaborated with on the most important work of our lives has kept his promise to maintain a friendship and go through birthdays, dance recitals and college visits together as a family.

I encourage anyone who has split to do the same, because the only people that benefit from a state of war and animosity are divorce lawyers. The ones hurt by the emotional shrapnel are your kids.

But look at perma-tan Keith with his Meg Ryan haircut: he's been romantically linked to multiple country music starlets, including Karley Scott Collins, 26, even though Collins denies it.

Gossip maven Rob Shuter is reporting, via a 'family friend', that Urban's rift with his girls deepened when he tried to introduce them to his alleged baby-faced side piece.

If true, his rush to acquaint his new toddler to this teens feels just a touch insensitive. In fact, it screams, 'Hey, I know your mom's still a basket case-in-mourning, but I'm in love and isn't my new tartlet hot?!'

Word is that Urban is even profiting off the split by writing a yacht rock-themed 'breakup album.'

'The origins of this kind of music was, in certain ways, a reaction and an antidote to the stresses of the times,' he wrote.

Hey Keith, why not break up with your midlife crisis?

It's no wonder his daughter's fatherly enthusiasm might have cooled.

Insiders told Daily Mail, '[The girls] are completely team Nicole and, right now, Keith is the bad guy. He is the cause of every problem in their minds, and it's harrowing for him. He's really distraught about it.'

I don't doubt the whole thing is eating him alive, people are often consumed by the effects of their bad choices. And I don't assume that Nicole is bad-mouthing her ex.

A worldly 17-year-old is capable of drawing her own conclusions and feeling her own pain. The insider reiterated that to Daily Mail: 'I don't even think this is Nicole painting a narrative; this is the girls coming to this conclusion on their own.'

And I have some unsolicited advice for any young country starlets hoping to lasso with aging equine: if you're a part of this thing, get out now. The guy is old enough to have his AARP card. By the time you get baby fever, kids with Keith will mean you'll be changing two sets of diapers.

Astounding

President Trump welcomed King Charles and Queen Camilla to Washington DC this week, fresh off his most recent assassination attempt at the White House Correspondents Dinner.

During the visit the 79-year-old commander-in-chief was pictured tapping his own queen on the keister.

Can anyone blame the guy for having a bit of pep in his step? 

Bad blood 

Ungrateful icon Taylor Swift is complaining that some Swifties are working too hard to glean meaning from her songs.

'It gets a little bit weird for me is when people act like it's a paternity test. Like, 'This song's about that person.' Because I'm like, 'That dude didn't write the song, I did,'' she whined.

Dude, you used to call them 'Easter eggs'.

You just sound like a rotten egg!

Losing face

Kardashian mob boss Kris Jenner is shutting down reports she is spitting mad that her new visage is 'slipping' after spending a rumored $100,000 on a new mug.

'I love my facelift. I adore my doctor. I'm obsessed with him,' the 70-year-old, who went under the knife of 'facelift maestro' Dr Steven Levine, said Wednesday.

She better be happy. The Momager looks like Kim!

Man baby

Channing Tatum is all broke up over ex-fiancé Zoe Kravitz's apparent engagement to her Harry Styles – and Channing writing abominable poems about it:

'My brain and / heart divorced / a decade ago / over who was / to blame about / how big of a mess / I have become / Eventually, / they couldn't be / in the same room / with each other.'

Bro, take your shirt off and leave the emo to Taylor.

Left field

Speaking of oversized infants… a fat, bearded Cleveland Guardians fan ripped a homerun baseball from the hands of a little girl.

You know what they say, you can take the slobs out of Cleveland but…

Veggie brains

Former Real Housewife Brandy Glanville is apparently a real dumdum, she had to go to urgent care after getting a garlic clove stuck in her ear.

In turns out she was taking medical advice from Dr Google when she stuck the stinky bulb in her ear to cure congestion.

I guess this explains what happened to her face, too.
