Kim Kardashian Addresses Balenciaga Backlash 

by

Kim Kardashian is finally speaking out about Balenciaga’s recent campaign drama. The high fashion brand released a controversial holiday ad featuring kids holding teddy bears dressed in bondage. Kardashian came under fire after fans slammed the SKIMS founder for not addressing the campaign scandal sooner. 

Kim, whose relationship with the brand has grown tremendously over the years,  opened up about the backlash on Angie Martinez IRL podcast’s. “With the Balenciaga thing, everyone was like, ‘Why aren’t you speaking out? Why aren’t you speaking out?’ And I’m like, ‘Wait. I’m not in this campaign,’” Kardashian told Martinez. “‘I don’t know what’s happening. Let me take a minute to like research this.’”

“And then as soon as I saw what everyone was seeing on the internet and the reality of the situation, I completely spoke out and gave my thoughts,” Kim added. “But because I didn’t say, ‘F— you, Balenciaga. That’s it,’ people got mad at that. So they’re mad if I don’t speak out. They’re mad if I do speak out, and if I don’t cancel.”

The mom of four says she took responsibility for her relationship with brand before speaking out. “You don’t want to be a part of the narrative, but you’re brought in,” Kardashian explained. “But then I have to take responsibility and say, ‘Okay, people look at me as the face of this, so let me speak out.’ I just always want to do the right thing.”

Kim also spoke about her co-parenting relationship with Kanye during her sit-down with Angie Martinez. “In my home, my kids don’t know anything that goes on in the outside world.”It’s hard. S—t like co-parenting, it’s really f—king hard.” The reality star added that she wants her kids to have the best memories of their dad. “If they don’t know things that are being said, or what’s happening in the world, why would I ever bring that energy to them?” she shared. “That’s real heavy, heavy grown-up s—t. And they’re not ready to deal with it, and when they are, we’ll have those conversations.” Check out Kim K’s full interview below. 

Cher Shows Off Her Diamond Ring From BF AE Edwards 

by

Cher is flaunting her new love for the world to see. The 76-year old songstress took to Twitter to show off her new diamond ring from beau Alexander Edwards. She posted an image of the sparkling piece on Christmas Day with caption, “THERE R NO WORDS.”

Fans immediately began speculating that the ring was an engagement ring from AE. Cher didn’t shut down the rumors. However, she responded to the claims with, “I posted this cause his nails are so cool.”

Cher and AE made headlines last month after being spotted rocking matching black outfits while  holding hands in LA. The Grammy Award winning songstress wasted no time confirming her relationship with the music exec. She addressed their 40-year age gap with a tweet.  “LOVE DOESN’T KNOW MATH, IT SEES [hearts].”

This isn’t the first time Cher spoke openly about her controversial relationship with AE. Earlier this month, she shared a photo of the 36-year old with a lengthy caption to follow it. “I’m not defending us. Haters are gonna hate. Doesn’t matter that we’re happy and not bothering anyone.” she wrote. “As we all know, I wasn’t born yesterday and what I know for sure, there are no guarantees. Anytime you make a choice you take a chance. I’ve always taken chances. It’s who I am. ”

During a recent appearance on The Kelly Clarkson Show, Cher opened up about her preference for younger men. “Older men just didn’t like me all that much,” she shared. “Do you know what I mean? I have had a couple boyfriends that were hovering around my age, but they just didn’t like me for some reason.”

The songstress didn’t end there. “And maybe younger men don’t care if you’re funny or outrageous and want to do stupid things,” Cher said. “You have the strong personality. I’m not giving up my personality for anybody, okay?” 

AE has yet to speak out on the alleged engagement. Share your thoughts below. 

Naomi Campbell’s Baby Makes A Rare Appearance To Celebrate Christmas

by

She may be one of the world’s most renowned supermodels, but Naomi Campbell is not much different from us. For her annual Christmas festivities, the 52-year-old was joined by her loved ones. All of them wore matching flannel pyjamas to take group photos in front of a beautiful tree.

As PEOPLE reports, the starlet’s festivities had an extra special guest this year – her one-and-a-half-year-old daughter – who was born back in 2021. “Merry Christmas To All. Grateful & Blessed #unconditionallove,” she wrote in the caption.

We can clearly see that her outfit matches her mother’s. Still, Campbell made the executive decision to hide her face with a red heart emoji.

As many celebrities do, the London-born actress is opting to protect her child’s privacy from the spotlight. However, that doesn’t mean that she doesn’t allow her some time to shine here and there. She is the spawn of a legend, after all!

In February of this year, Campbell gave the world its first glimpse at her daughter. Of course, it was no ordinary look. Instead, it was on the cover of British Vogue. “She wasn’t adopted,” the model told the outlet at the time. “She’s my child.”

At this time, little else is known about the child. When announcing her birth last May, though, the Empire actress couldn’t help but gush about the exciting experience.

“So honoured to have this gentle soul in my life, there are no words to describe the lifelong bond that I now share with you, my angel. There is no greater love,” her previously uploaded Instagram message reads.

Naomi Campbell’s baby isn’t the only one who’s been making headlines this Christmas. Yesterday (December 25), Diddy’s little one, Love Sean Combs, finally made her Instagram debut.

In a photo shared on the Bad Boy’s social media, he holds the infant as five of his other children crowd around him in matching pyjamas. Check that out here, and come back later for more pop culture news updates.

Idaho Student Murders: Professor Sues TikToker Accusing Her Of Planning Slayings

by

It’s been some time since there were any significant updates on the brutal murders of four University of Idaho students. Currently, police continue to quietly search for clues while the rest of the world eagerly awaits answers. In the weeks since the tragedy, several true crime buffs have taken to platforms like TikTok to play detective and try their hand and solving the crime. While some have undeniably provided helpful information, others are now facing lawsuits due to their accusations.

As Complex reports, Rebecca Scofield filed a lawsuit last Wednesday (December 21) in Idaho District Court. The history department chair named TikTok user Ashley Guillard, who boasts a following of 100K+ on the app, in her documents. Specifically, the educator is unhappy that she’s facing accusations of orchestrating the local slayings solely from tarot card readings.

Those following the investigation know that police aren’t sharing the names of suspects. Somehow, though, the social media user channelled a message pointing her toward the school employee.

“Professor Scofield has never met Guillard,” her lawsuit declares. “She does not know her. She does not know why Guillard picked her to repeatedly falsely accuse of ordering the tragic murders and being involved with one of the victims. Professor Scofield does know that she has been harmed by the false TikToks and false statements.”

The tarot reader has been posting defamatory videos for over a month, starting on November 24th. At the time, a video went out stating that the instructor “had been involved in a relationship with one of the murdered students, K.G. [Kaylee Goncalves].”

Scofield is expressing concern that Guillard’s “false statements may motivate someone to cause harm to her or her family members.” Additionally, she notes the “significant emotional distress and damage” she’s facing in the wake of these claims.

Though the police haven’t been speaking with the media lately, one of the victim’s fathers gave a recent optimistic update. Some have been speculating that the tragic murder investigation has gone cold, but according to Ben Mogen, authorities are working with biological and visual evidence.

“From the very beginning, I’ve known that people don’t get away with these things these days. There’s too many things that you can get caught up on, like DNA and videos everywhere. This isn’t something that people get away with, that goes unsolved,” he said.

Kim Kardashian Breaks Into Tears Discussing Kanye West

by

Kim Kardashian broke down into tears while discussing Kanye West on the Angie Martinez IRL Podcast on Monday. The two are currently co-parenting their four children.

“I had the best dad,” Kardashian said. “I don’t want to get emotional. It has just been a day for me. It’s hard. Shit like co-parenting– it’s really fucking hard you know.”

She composed herself and continued: “Yeah, but I had the best dad and I had the best memories and the greatest experience and that’s all I want for my kids. As long as they can have that, that’s what I would want for them, you know.”

Angie Martinez joked that Kim isn’t co-parenting with the “quietest, easiest” partner.

“So like if they don’t know things that are being said or what’s happening in the world like why would I ever bring that energy to them. You know, that’s like real heavy, heavy grown up s***. That they are not ready to, like, deal with,” Kardashian further added.

Kardashian is likely referring to West’s recent public behavior, which includes making countless antisemitic comments. In doing so, he went as far as to praise Adolf Hitler while speaking with Alex Jones.

Kim and Kanye finally settled their divorce nearly two years after their initial split, last month. As per the agreement, Ye will be dishing out $200,000 in child support monthly.

Later in the interview, Kim also discusses the backlash to Balenciaga’s recent controversial photoshoot. She gets emotional again addressing that drama as well.

Blueface & Chrisean Rock Are In A “Forced Ass Relationship,” She Says

by

Last night (December 25) saw the arrival of episode three of Zeus’ Crazy In Love. After watching, more people than ever before are questioning why Blueface and Chrisean Rock are together. Among them seems to be the 22-year-old herself.

In a snippet from the show’s most recent edition, the reality star sits in the backseat of a vehicle. During her drive, she’s expressing obvious frustration over her situation with the California-born rapper. “I need space from this, like, forced-ass relationship,” she says as the cameras roll.

“Like, I don’t know if it’s a business-ship or a relationship,” the entertainer adds. “Is he with me because there’s opportunity in it, or [does] he really just want to be with me?” Without missing a beat, her friend sitting beside her says, “You know the answer to that.”

After some back and forth, Rock reveals she got a text from Blueface in the midst of their beef. “I love you, baby, we are family,” she read it out loud for the cameras. “And we’re gonna make a family. I don’t want to live with nobody else, I like it here with you.”

Looking at her friend, Chrisean openly ponders, “How you like it here with me when you with ugly bitches?” Afterward, she goes on to insist that she has no plans of staying at the same level, where the “Thotiana” hitmaker seemingly wants to keep her. Rather, she’s ready to elevate.

Elsewhere on screen, the Maryland native was feeling particularly stressed after speaking to her lawyer. In a clip circulating online, she can be seen raising her hands in the air as she sobs.

As Rock walks through a parking lot crying, she’s met by loved ones who openly embrace her in her time of need.

Additionally, the show found the couple feuding about their relationship status after Chrisean leaked a video of her and Blueface having sex on social media. Read more about that drama here, and tap back in with HNHH later for more pop culture news updates.

The Clermont Twins Thirst Trap On Twitter, Shannon Labels Them “Surgery Besties”

by

The infamous Clermont twins first rose to fame on season 14 of Oxygen’s Bad Girls Club series. At the time, both Shannade and Shannon were known for their over-the-top attitudes, as well as the hypersexualization of their bodies. As Hello Beautiful notes, they frequently wore sheer blouses without bras or minimal clothing during filming.

After their stint on the show, the reality stars seemingly fell off the face of the Earth. However, they resurfaced sometime later, having undergone several cosmetic procedures to alter their appearances. By the time Kanye West cast them in his Yeezy Szn 6 campaign, their careers really began to take off.

As their platforms continued to skyrocket, the newfound fame came with its share of trouble. Unfortunately, Shannade was arrested in 2018 after racking up thousands of dollars on a dead man’s credit card.

A report from The Blast says that the internet star took the information “of a man she had visited for a prostitution date and who was found dead in his apartment the next morning from a drug overdose.” His money went towards her rent, phone bills, and luxury clothing.

Ultimately, she spent one year in prison as a result. After serving her time, though, the Clermont twins look to be back and better than ever – if their latest thirst traps are any indication, that is.

Earlier this month, Shannon shared two sultry photos on her personal Twitter feed. One image sees the sisters holding their breasts as they show off their sculpted hourglass figures from the front.

In the second, they turn around to tease their bodacious behinds and long blonde hair. “Treacherous twins,” she wrote at the time.

More recently, Shannon posted a message about her sister being her “surgery bestie,” leaving some to speculate that they could be going under the knife once again.

Check out the Clermon twin’s sultry December thirst traps below. Afterward, let us know if you’re team BBL or natural body in the comments.

Druski Flirts With Ice Spice On “Coulda Been Records”

by

Slowly but surely, Druski is becoming one of the most exciting comedians in the entertainment industry. Next year, the Georgia-bred comedian will embark on his first-ever headlining comedy tour, titled the Coulda, Woulda, Shoulda Tour. The tour’s title is, in part, inspired by his ongoing Coulda Been Records Livestream series, and on Christmas Eve, Druski hosted one as a gift to his fans.

For his latest Coulda Been Records Livestream, he once again put on a great show. The Instagram Live session was filled with celebrity appearances, including GloRilla, Charleston White, Kevin Hart, and more. However, rising rapper Ice Spice’s cameo is one that has everyone talking.

Ice Spice made an appearance on Druski’s Coulda Been Records Livestream

The “Munch (Feelin’ U)” rapper joined the party near the 50-minute mark of Druski’s latest livestream. During their conversation, Ice Spice jokes about “doing it big for Christmas” while showing off a small Christmas tree, and together, she and Druski playfully roast her for having “that one hit.” While those exchanges were comical enough, he really shook things up near the end of their conversation.

Before Ice Spice exits the live, Druski shoots his shot by asking her to send her number to him in the DMs. Ice Spice agreed and proceeded to promote her new song “in ha mood,” which was released exclusively pm SoundCloud. He cuts her off by saying “Aye, we’ll talk” with a menacing grin. Then, the second Ice Spice leaves the livestream, he starts clowning the “Bikini Bottom” rapper.

“We don’t give a fuck about that song. Bitch, DM me,” he laughs. “I don’t give a fuck about that song, baby girl. DM me. Um, yeah. Yeah, we’ll see.”

See the video for yourself, and stream Ice Spice’s “in ha mood” below.

Twitter Clowns Diddy’s Reaction To Yung Miami & G Herbo’s Interview

by

Diddy is obviously allowed to have a baby with another woman, but according to him, Yung Miami can’t even flirt with someone else – especially not if it’s on her Caresha Please podcast. Most recently, the City Girl sat down with G Herbo to chiefly discuss “all the smoke.” Though it premiered a few days before, it seems her boo spent his Christmas watching.

On TikTok yesterday (December 25), Sean Combs shared a video of him in character as “Black ass Santa.” Throughout the clip, he subsequently takes followers through his family activities. These include tuning in to the Revolt TV series to see if the mother of two is getting too comfortable with her guest.

@diddy

Merry Christmas everyone 🎅🏿

♬ original sound – Diddy

During their conversation, Caresha and Herbo were both forthcoming about their love lives. She firstly asked him about his past relationship with Ari Fletcher, and he admitted to cheating on her with his current partner, Taina Williams. Additionally, the “Chi-Raq” rapper pressed Miami for information on Diddy’s new baby.

In early December, the Bad Boy surprisingly tweeted about welcoming a new baby girl into his family. Since then, her name has been revealed as Love Sean Combs, and we know the mother is 28-year-old Dana Tran. She gave birth back in October and was able to enjoy several months of privacy with her little one before being shot into the limelight overnight.

Seeing as Diddy and Caresha were been previously romantically involved, Herbo wanted to know if she was aware of the pregnancy beforehand. “Communication is key,” Miami told him, noting that she knew of the baby prior to her birth.

The episode also finds the pair talking about bedroom antics, such as rim jobs, which the Chicago native didn’t seem impressed by. Upon seeing the episode for himself, Combs also had some concern – particularly over how much the rapper was smiling at his Shawty Wop.

In the video that’s since gone viral, Diddy gets incredibly close to the screen as he lets out cries of anguish over seeing Miami chat with another man. Unsurprisingly, it wasn’t long before Twitter users began clowning the father of seven.

“Diddy think he slick. He want G Herbo,” one person joked, specifically referencing long-standing rumours about the New Yorker’s sexuality. Another wrote, “Why Diddy acting like he ain’t got 20 thousand bitches talking ‘bout G Herbo trynna flirt with his shorty. [Be f*cking for real]!!”

“There’s a dizzying amount of debauchery,” she told Empire in a recent interview. “One of the most disturbing, chaotic scenes I’ve ever witnessed is in this film. It involves a fight with a snake. I won’t tell you who wins or loses that fight, but trust me, it’s insane.”

Robbie’s next opportunity for a box office smash will come with Greta Gerwig’s Barbie in 2023.

The impressive cast for Babylon also includes Tobey Maguire, Olivia Wilde, Chloe Fineman, Flea, and more. The film had a budget of $80 million.

Damien Chazelle is best known for his films Whiplash (2014), and La La Land (2016). The latter of which earned him six Academy Awards, including Best Director. He became the youngest to earn the honor at the age of 32.

As for box-office successes, Avatar: The Way of Water, continued to dominate over the weekend. Despite extreme weather conditions hitting the United States, the film tallied another $56 million. The movie has now grossed $855.4 million globally. Only Top Gun: Maverick and Jurassic World: Dominion have reached the $1 billion mark in 2022.
