While “inevitable” is probably overkill, it is true that Kim, 40, is friends with the 52-year-old CNN commentator, and the two have had many brilliant things to say about each other since the 2018 meeting at the White House. Still, rumors that he and Kim are an item seem to be the fruit of the collective imagination of social media. According to TMZ, Kim and Kanye not only spent Christmas with their four children, but also went above and beyond in terms of gifts for each other. Kanye gave Kim five new Maybachs, 2021, while Kim presented her husband with a series of pieces by artist James Turrell, who is a huge fan of his work. It is unclear whether the gifts were a last-ditch effort to save the marriage, however. People reported on Wednesday, January 6, that gifts aside, Kim hasn’t been wearing his wedding ring or engagement ring on Instagram much lately, including in holiday posts. The agency previously reported that Kim has been living apart from Kanye and thinking about divorce for some time, but has postponed the divorce application out of concern about how it would affect her children.

We will be inside the LA Convention Center, we will be outside on the street, in different locations, “he said.” Obviously, we will adjust accordingly, but for us it is really about the health, well-being and safety of our artistic community, staff and people working on the show.

Amber Heard gets the green light in $ 100 million counter-action against Johnny Depp
A Virginia judge ruled on Monday that Amber Heard could pursue her $ 100 million lawsuit against her ex-husband, Johnny Depp, who initially sued her for defamation (and half the money). Johnny’s lawsuit alleges that Amber defamed the actor in his 2018 Washington Post article on how society protects abusive men. After Johnny filed a $ 50 million lawsuit against Amber, who never used her name in the play, the actress responded by filing her own lawsuit, claiming that he launched “a false smear campaign” against her. Johnny tried to throw Amber’s suit away, to no avail. In an opinion issued on Monday, Judge Bruce White wrote that Johnny’s comments about Amber “imply that she lied and committed perjury” when she asked the court for a restraining order against him in 2016 and “that she lied about being victim of domestic violence “according to the deadline. “In light of the #MeToo Movement and today’s social climate,” continued the judge, “falsely claiming abuse would certainly harm [Ms. Heard’s] reputation in the common estimate of humanity, “making your defamation complaint” actionable. “In the meantime, Johnny is waiting to see if a London appeals court will give him a retrial after he lost his case against The Sun, which a judge said had reason to label him a” wife beater. ” He lost his first appeal and his defamation trial against Amber is scheduled to begin on May 3.

I can’t say how happy I am to have done this. Now I can concentrate on getting back in shape and rebuilding my strength. It’s never too old to be fashionable! 😜[sic”[sic”[sic”[sic”
Sacha Baron Cohen brought Borat back because he “felt that democracy was in danger”
While Hollywood is figuring out how to deal with the coronavirus pandemic, most filmmakers and TV producers have chosen to tell stories that are not driven by COVID-19. But, as Sacha Baron Cohen explains in a new interview for Variety, he decided to bring his Borat character back in large part because of the pandemic. “I felt that democracy was in danger, I felt that people’s lives were in danger and I felt compelled to finish the film,” he says. For Sacha, doing “Borat Subsequent Moviefilm” was also very much about what he describes as “the danger of Trump and Trumpism”. When he decided to proceed with production, despite the risks involved, he said it was because he believed: “What the coronavirus has shown is that there is a lethal effect on its spreading of lies and conspiracy theories.” Referring to the masks that remained largely throughout the film, Sasha added: “Instead of running away from how the world was dealing with the coronavirus, I felt that we should lean towards it.”
