North West Helped Recover Kim’s Pearls As Met Gala Fit Fell Apart

by

Kim Kardashian’s Met Gala outfit turned heads on Monday night. The reality star and businesswoman arrived in a Schiaparelli gown comprised of two sets of pearl necklaces. According to reports, the pearl aspects of the gown were comprised of 50,000 genuine freshwater pearls. Schiaparelli is an iconic fashion house. They also dressed gala co-chair Michaela Coel at this year’s event.

While it was not as extravagant as some of the other outfits on display, such as Doja Cat’s literal cat suit, Kardashian’s look suited her perfectly. It was seductive, provocative, and just a little overly extravagant. Furthermore, it didn’t earn her controversy like her choice to wear Marylin Monroe’s dress in 2022. However, these dresses are not meant to be worn for more than a few hours and Kim’s dress began to fall apart before she even stepped onto the red carpet.

Kim K’s Daughter Helps As Dress Falls Apart

North West was expected to attend the Met Gala along with her mother after she had been seen with her father in New York. However, she did not walk the red carpet, instead staying in the car for most of the event. North wore a vintage Chanel blazer paired with medium-washed denim straight-legged jeans and black Chelsea boots. finishing off the look with a conch shell clutch. However, Gala attendees must be at least 18 years old. Kylie Jenner also brought her daughter, Stormi, to New York prior to the Gala. Kylie wore a custom Jean Paul Gaultier dress to the event.

However, North played an important role as Kim’s dress began to fall apart on the way to the gala. “Some popped on the way, and I told my daughter to grab them all. They’re real pearls, and she was putting them in her purse,” Kardashian told Vogue. Premium freshwater pearls can cost as much as $3000 a pearl, meaning that losing even one would be throwing away a lot of money. While it’s unlikely that Kim’s dress cost $150,000,000, it’s still a lot of expensive resources to be dropping in central Manhattan.

Kim Kardashian Met Gala Look Compared To Iconic Playboy Shoot

by

There were a lot of fabulous outfits on display at the Met Gala 2023. From Ice Spice to Doja Cat, everyone was showing out. The fits on display ranged from the vanilla to the stylish to the furry. This year’s theme was in honor of the late, and controversial, fashion designer Karl Lagerfeld. However, one outfit that turned heads both on the red carpet and on social media was that of Kim Kardashian.

Kardashian showed up in a barely there pearl bead dress. Rows upon rows of pearls adorned the reality star’s upper body and legs, tied together with an off-white corset. The dress came courtesy of Schiaparelli, the iconic Italian fashion house. However, the outfit drew comparisons to another iconic Kim K look for many spectators. She walked the red carpet alone but attended the rest of the event with her daughter, North. Furthermore, she was briefly seen interacting with ex-boyfriend Pete Davidson at the event.

Kim K’s Met Gala Outfit Seen As 2007 Throwback

Let’s go back to 2007 for a moment. As the Bush presidency wound down and the world unknowingly moved towards a crippling financial crisis, Kim Kardashian began to take the spotlight. Her infamous sex tape with Ray J, Kim Kardashian, Superstar, was released in February. In October, the premiere of E! original series Keeping Up With The Kardashians aired. The rest, they say, is history. Fun fact, 2007 was also the year that HotNewHipHop was launched.

However, the year wasn’t over for Kim. In December, she joined an elite group of individuals as she starred on the cover of the December 2007 issue of Playboy. The issue also contained a multi-page spread about Kim, titled “Hollywood’s New Sex Star Kim Kardashian Takes It All Off”. The focal point of this spread was images of Kardashian appearing entirely nude, save for some strategically placed by strings of pearls. Fans were quick to point out the similarities between that shoot and Kardashian’s 2023 Met Gala outfit. Be sure to make HotNewHipHop your first stop for all the latest celebrity gossip and news.

Kim Kardashian and Pete Davidson bumped into each other at the 2023 Met Gala, a year after attending the event as a couple. In pictures from the star-studded event, the two were spotted catching up with Usher after walking the red carpet.

Davidson rocked a Fendi T-shirt under a trench coat with leather pants while Kardashian sported a corseted Schiaparelli dress. During their appearance together in 2022, Kardashian turned heads by wearing Marilyn Monroe’s iconic gown.

Davidson and Kardashian dated for nine months after meeting on the set of Saturday Night Live in October 2021, while Davidson still starred on the show. The two eventually split up in August 2022, although sources for the NY Post and other outlets stated that they were still friendly. “They have a lot of love and respect for each other, but found that the long distance and their demanding schedules made it really difficult to maintain a relationship,” an insider told the NY Post said. They added that their age difference also played into the split, explaining that Davidson “is totally spontaneous and impulsive and wants her to fly to New York, or wherever he is on a moment’s notice.” Kardashian, on the other hand, “has four kids and it isn’t that easy. She needs to focus on the kids.”

Since breaking up, Davidson is now dating his Bodies Bodies Bodies co-star, Chase Sui Wonders. On the other hand, Kardashian appears to still be single. Davidson will be returning to Saturday Night Live, later this month, as a host of the show where he met Kardashian.

Kanye West Countersues Former Business Manager, Says He Was Stressed Out Over Kim Kardashian Divorce

by

Kanye West has been laying relatively low as of late, but that doesn’t mean he’s not still caught up in some drama. The Graduation hitmaker’s latest beef is with former business manager Thomas St. John, who TMZ reports he’s countersuing over a year after they first crossed paths in March 2022. At the time, Ye was notably airing out his feelings on social media, landing him in trouble with countless other public figures. St. John apparently signed a deal to join the embattled artist’s team on a $300K monthly retainer in hopes of working together to rehabilitate his public image.

West admits to signing a document in May of last year, though he did so without the presence of an attorney. In addition, the Yeezy founder says that his divorce from Kim Kardashian was a severe mental stressor as the deal was unfolding. That, coupled with a sudden increase in paparazzi encounters found the father of four battling sleep deprivation, stress, and anxiousness. As a result, Ye says that the agreement signed by him and St. John “isn’t enforceable.”

Elsewhere in their contract, The Life of Pablo artist is taking issue with a clause which prohibits his former business manager‘s firing for the first 18 months of their time together. At a $300K/month rate, that would guarantee him $5.4M – money that West is likely less willing to part with after being dropped by several partnerships due to his 2022 antics. All-in-all, West and St. John worked together for just three months, but the latter is insisting he should receive the full agreed-upon amount.

In his countersuit, Ye is asking a judge to, first of all, tear up the contract entirely. Second, he would like for Thomas St. John to pay back the $900K previously collected for his work in the early days of their relationship. Check back later for any updates on Kanye West’s latest legal woes, as well as on all your other favourite celebrities.

Kourtney Accuses Kim Kardashian Of Using Wedding For Business

by

The Kardashian family is set to make their return to a screen near you in the very near future. The family is gearing up for the release of the third season of The Kardashians on Hulu. The conclusion of the previous season took place less than six months ago. However, the show covers events that span over a year. As such, many significant events have occurred in the lives of the world-renowned family since then. Recently, fans were given a sneak peek of the upcoming season with a drama-filled trailer released by Hulu. Although the trailer is very intense, it is still very much in line with what one would expect from the Kardashians. There are tears, surgeries, and turmoil around every turn.

The upcoming season is set to focus on relationships. They have always been a significant aspect of the show, but the family has gone through some major transitions recently. The trailer opens with Kim being reminded by the producers that she was still with Kanye West when the show last aired. The drama surrounding their divorce dominates much of the trailer. While he is not shown in the trailer, some fans speculate that Pete Davidson might make an appearance on the show. Additionally, the season will showcase Khloe’s son who was born last year. Furthermore, the show was filmed leading up to Kourtney and Travis’ wedding, which adds its own drama to the mix.

Kim Capitalizes On Anything She Can

The newest source of drama in the trailer stems from Kourtney’s wedding to Travis Barker. According to a clip from the show, she believes Kim used the wedding as a business opportunity. “People think it’s a misunderstanding. It’s not,” Kourtney said of her sister. “It’s who she is to her core.” Of course, the clip is edited as much as possible to increase the drama, but it still looks like things are going to get pretty heated.

Interestingly, the trailer also features Kylie Jenner speaking about the beauty standards that the family is setting. In fact, she goes on to say she wishes that she never had any surgery at all because she doesn’t want her daughter to do what she did. This is, of course, in stark contrast to the family’s entire brand. Whether or not anything will change on that front remains to be seen. What do you think of the new clip from The Kardashians? Let us know in the comments!

Kim Kardashian’s OnlyFans Lookalike Dies

by

They say that imitation is the highest form of flattery. Oscar Wilde actually said “Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery that mediocrity can pay to greatness” but people tend to leave the second bit out. However, looking like a celebrity can be quite a lucrative career. Pamela Anderson has a lookalike who has also modeled for Playboy. There’s a Taylor Swift lookalike who keeps getting banned from social media because platforms think she is imitating T-Swift.

Then there is Christina Ashten Gourkani. Professionally known as “Ashten G”, Gourkani rose to fame as a model and OnlyFans creator. She primarily stole headlines for bearing a striking resemblance to Kim Kardashian. Gourkani was especially famous for her surgically enhanced body, on top of being a spitting image of Kardashian. Boasting her measurements as “43-23-43” (Kim K is reportedly 38-25-41), Gourkani was a successful creator on OnlyFans and had 620,000 followers on Instagram.

Ashten G Dead At 34

According to a post on her Instagram, Gourkani was announced to have passed away. “It is with deep sorrow and an immensely heavy broken heart that we have to share the most shattering, unfortunate and unexpected passing of our beautiful beloved daughter and sister Christina Ashten Gourkani….” read the caption, which also directed fans to a GoFundMe for her funeral costs. Gourkani was 34, having been born in October 1988. She was born in the United States to a family of Iranian descent. She was eight years younger than Kardashian, who was born in 1980. According to the GoFundMe, Gourkani’s funeral will take on May 4.

The GoFundMe states that “our family continued living a nightmare as we were informed that her health and wellbeing had continued to decline in a downward spiral for the worse after suffering from a cardiac arrest. Her sudden and tragic passing is currently being investigated as a homicide related to medical procedure that took a turn for the worse.” Furthermore, it revealed that Gourkani passed away on April 20. Many have taken this to mean to Gourkani suffered a cardiac arrest while undergoing cosmetic surgery. However, this is only speculation and her family has not released additional details at this time. If more details emerge about Gourkani’s death, you’ll find them on HotNewHipHop.

No Kim K Jokes During Pete Davidson’s “SNL” Host Slot

by

Saturday Night Live was the breakout for Pete Davidson. Joining the long-running sketch comedy show in 2014, Davidson spent eight seasons on the show. During that time, he also became known for other things. As much as we would like to credit those other things as other acting performances, like Set It Up and King Of Staten Island, sadly we cannot. Davidson became known for his varied dating life and his reportedly giant dick.

Perhaps his most famous relationship was his nine-month relationship with Kim Kardashian. Reportedly blossoming from an on-screen kiss during Kim’s 2021 SNL host slot, the relationship dominated headlines. The pair parted ways in 2022, but apparently remain on good terms. That will play a major factor as Davidson prepares to host SNL on May 6.

Davidson Won’t Drop Kim K Jokes on “SNL”

Pete Davidson will be the next guest host of SNL when the show returns from a one-week hiatus on May 6. It is Davidson’s first time hosting since he left the show in 2022. He is the fourth SNL alum to host during the current season, following Molly Shannon, Steve Martin, and Martin Short. The current season has also featured Ana de Armas, Megan Thee Stallion, Aubrey Plaza, and Jenna Ortega as hosts. The most watched episode of the season was the one hosted by Martin and Short, which also featured musical guest Brandi Carlile. It is the only episode of the season to break five million viewers. The show hit that mark three times in the prior season. Davidson’s appearance is expected to be a major ratings bump for the show.

However, Davidson will not be joking about his most famous ex during skits or his monologue. According to a source who spoke to Page Six, both parties had agreed to “move on” after the break-up, which is why Kardashian isn’t mentioned in Davidson’s stand-up routines. Furthermore, the source told the gossip outlet that Davidson wants to be a “good sport” and “perfect gentleman” during his hosting, which means not joking about his ex. The musical guest for Davdison’s episode will be Lil Uzi Vert. However, whether Davidson’s pledge remains the case will have to be seen on May 6.

Kim Kardashian Reveals What Would Make Her Give Up Reality TV

by

Kim Kardashian is someone who has kept extremely busy over the last few years. Overall, she is a staple of reality television. In fact, it is hard to imagine her not doing some form of reality TV. Keeping Up With The Kardashians ran for over a decade. Additionally, her new show The Kardashians has proven to be yet another huge hit. However, for Kim, this is not the be-all-end-all of her career. She is someone who is extremely well-versed in various topics. Moreover, she has her own clothing line which is incredibly successful.

If you have kept up with Kim Kardashian and her endeavors, you also know that she has been doing law school on a part-time basis. Throughout this process, she has worked within the justice system to get prisoners out of jail. Overall, she has mostly worked with those who have been falsely convicted of their crimes. Subsequently, Kardashian has been praised for all of her work. After all, she is participating in a very worthwhile endeavor.

Kim Kardashian Has A Passion For Being A Lawyer

According to TMZ, Kim K was recently at the Time100 Summit where she was asked about being a lawyer. In the clip above, you can see that Kim Kardashian admits to wanting to follow in her father’s footsteps. In fact, she would give up reality TV if it meant becoming a lawyer on a full-time basis. Some might find this revelation to be quite shocking, although if you know anything about the SKIMS mogul, she has always loved her lawyer work. Whether or not this will become a reality, still remains to be seen.

Hopefully, Kim Kardashian is able to achieve this dream. Being a lawyer dedicated to criminal justice reform is an endeavor worth applauding.

Saint West Rocks Tristan Thompson’s Lakers Jersey While Sitting Courtside With Kim Kardashian

by

Kim Kardashian most often makes headlines for her time spent with her 9-year-old daughter, North West, but on Monday (April 24), it was her and eldest son Saint West’s turn to shine. The duo arrived at Crypto.com Arena last night along with Kris Jenner and her beau Corey Gamble to watch the Los Angeles Lakers face off against the Memphis Grizzlies. While the socialite looked like a cast member in The Matrix with her futuristic all-black outfit, the young boy took the opportunity to pay tribute to his cousin’s father, Tristan Thompson.

The basketball player and his ex, Khloé Kardashian, are said to be working on their relationship right now (though she was just seen dining with Lil Baby), and he was recently traded to the California-based team. Over his own black outfit, West wore an oversized #9 jersey with Thompson’s name on the back, obviously excited to cheer his extended family member on. While some saw the moment as cute, others called the SKIMS founder “sick” for letting Saint wear Tristan’s jersey after his countless bouts of infidelity against her sister.

Though she previously gave the Canadian the cold shoulder when he first cheated, Kim has since formed a friendship with the athlete. As he and Khloé work through their issues together, the mother of four has always been supportive of their relationship and actively works to keep her children out of any family drama that may be circulating in the media. The internet may think Kardashian is being shady, but in truth, Saint likely knows little about the problems unfolding around him.

Prior to her night out with the 7-year-old and her own family matriarch, Kim Kardashian and North turned heads this past weekend while walking the red carpet together. At the time, the TikTok starlet’s attitude undeniably stole the show and has earned many laughs online. Scroll on to see more photos of Saint West and his mom at the NBA playoffs. Afterward, let us know if you’re excited to see Tristan Thompson join the Lakers in the comments below.
