Kim Kardashian fans slam star over ‘childish’ detail in photos with Mariah Carey and kids

Kim Kardashian fans have slammed the star over a “childish” detail from a new Instagram post.

Kim Kardashian was able to be a part of a major dream coming true for her daughters and nieces, but fans couldn’t help but find fault with one move she made during the event.

The reality star and mogul took to Instagram to share pictures from a Mariah Carey concert she attended with sister Khloe, mom Kris Jenner, her daughters, North West, 10, and Chicago West, 5, and nieces True Thompson, 5, and Dream Kardashian, 7.

In the images, the group posed with the world famous singer and her own children, Moroccan and Monroe, 12.

Everyone looked cheerful in the photos, looking straight ahead at the camera and smiling.

However, fans couldn’t help but notice that Kim opted for a very different facial expression in the photo.

The 43-year-old stayed in the back row of the pics, wearing an all-black leather ensemble, with her dark locks slicked back into a bun.

However, instead of a smile, she opted to pout her lips out into a kissing face–commonly referred to as duck face.

Naturally fans had a field day with the star’s go-to pose.

Most criticized her for always resorting to it, noting not only her age, but that it detracts from the rest of the photo.

“Why does kim always poke her lips out, looks so very childish,” one fan wrote.

“Omg Imagine bein in ur mid 40’s still Duck Lipping lol,” another chimed in.

“Kim still doing the f***in duck lips is so gen x of her,” another added.

“Kim’s pout giving me major 2010s nostalgia,” a fourth said.

Fans noted that she resorts to the face often. (Image: Instagram)

“What’s up with Kim’s stupid lips pose can’t see just smile like everyone else in picture?” another wondered.

“Everyone is smiling and Kim is channeling her inner Daffy once again,” another said. “I don’t get it. Why does someone as beautiful as she is always wear a duck face?”

Kim Kardashian ‘ready for war’ with Taylor Swift & ‘plotting to end Travis Kelce romance’

After Taylor Swift brought up their ‘buried’ feud over Kanye West’s Famous in her TIME Woman Of The Year interview, it’s being reported Kim K is out for blood.

Look what you made Kim do… it seems that Taylor Swift vs. Kim K is getting ready for round two.

According to new reports, Kim Kardashian is far from happy with the Bejeweled singer after reigniting a feud she thought was long buried.

Taylor, who is storming the world with her Eras Tour, was crowned TIME’s Person of the Year – and in the interview she mentioned the mental toll her fight with Kim K more than seven years ago took on her.

Kim is now reportedly so furious she’s ‘preparing for war’ with the Don’t Blame Me singer, and may even be plotting to take down her blossoming romance with Kansas City Chiefs star, Travis Kelce.

“Kim is incandescent with rage, and she’s come up with a plan to get her own back by using her connections in the sport world to break up Taylor and Travis,” the source told Heat.

“Kim can’t believe that she buried the hatchet with Taylor only to have her turn on her like this – she’s ready for war.”

The source goes on to say she could use her inner circle in the NFL to find out dirt on Taylor or Travis, and could even ‘torpedo’ the romance by figuring out a way to be photographed with Travis.

Kim is yet to make any mention of this publicly, with Travis yet to make any comment either about Kim.

The pair’s feud goes all the way back to 2016, when Kim’s then-husband Kanye West launched song Famous, which featured a lyric claiming responsibility for Taylor’s success.

The lyric was: “I feel like me and Taylor might still have sex. Why? I made that b***h famous.”

This stems from Kanye and Taylor’s awkward moment at the 2009 VMAs when, after Taylor won Best Music Video, Kanye stormed the stage and said Beyonce deserved it more.

In the Famous music video, a nude wax model of celebrities – including Taylor – was used to lie in bed next to Kanye.

Taylor spoke out against the video and the song lyric, but Kim then released an edited video on Snapchat supposedly showing Kanye call Taylor to get her approval. The video was clipped and didn’t mention the ‘b***h’ lyric, instead just the sex lyric.

It sparked an online fandom war over who was telling the truth and who was lying.

Speaking about the moment in her history, this year Taylor said in her TIME interview this year: “You have a fully manufactured frame job, in an illegally recorded phone call, which Kim Kardashian edited and then put out to say to everyone that I was a liar.

“That took me down psychologically to a place I’ve never been before.”

At the time, Taylor expressed her dislike of the lyric. Kanye said that Taylor gave her consent to the lyric and Kim released a video that seemed to back her husband up.

Taylor swift angrily blasted saying so many haters want my relationship with Travis Kelce to be trashed and broken. If you are a fan of mine and you want my relationship to continue, let me hear you say a big YES!”…

The couple are enjoying some downtime before the Blank Space hitmaker has to head back on her Eras Tour. Fans spotted the couple out and about last week, stepping out for a bite to eat in a glammed-up ensemble at popular Mexican eatery, Toca Madera.

According to its website, the restaurant is a “highly acclaimed steakhouse known for its menu featuring bold flavours and high quality, sustainable, and organic ingredients”. Snaps show the pair heading out for their meal, with body language expert Judi James telling the Mirror that Travis appeared in “protective mode” for the pair’s romantic outing.

After all his recent neck/shoulder-nuzzling and his graduation beer-swilling, Travis appears to be on his best behaviour here for yet another date night with Taylor. He walks upright and in step beside her, smiling politely as she turns to talk,” she said.

Behaviour expert Judi added: “Their hand-hold involves his on top encasing hers, suggesting he’s still in protective mode, while that cardigan suggests he’s trying to look like the boy you can take home to meet your parents rather than a Super Bowl wild man.”

Taylor and Travis are thought to be attending this weekend’s F1 Grand Prix in Miami, alongside the NFL tight end’s teammate Patrick Mahomes and his wife Brittany Mahomes. The two aren’t thought to be attending this year’s Met Gala, held on Monday.

It comes after Travis’ enthusiasm during an event in Vegas last weekend was too much for Taylor, a lip reader claimed. Deaf TikTok star Jackie Gonzalez gave her take on just what Taylor had to say as Travis took to the stage at his teammate Patrick Mahomes’ The 15 and Mahomies Foundation Golf Classic gala on April 27. The lip-reading expert regularly shares her insight into what is being said during celebrity conversations.

Kourtney Kardashian’s kids plead with their mom and Travis Barker to stop kissing

Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker are known for their public displays of affection.

But it seems not everyone in the Kardashian clan is a fan of their loved-up behavior.

In the latest episode of the family’s reality TV show – which aired on Thursday – Kourtney’s kids begged their mom and her new husband to dial down the PDA and stop kissing.

In the episode (the sixth of the new series), Travis arrives home to find Kourtney and her three kids – Mason, 12, Penelope, 9, and Reign, 7 – playing ping-pong.

Penelope immediately sees what is about to happen and gives her mom a stern warning, saying: “Mom, no kissing.”

Kourtney reasons with her daughter, replying: “Just one.” The response sparks further protests from the nine-year-old, who complains loudly. “Sorry,” Travis replies.

A few minutes later, the couple can be seen sharing a quick smooch at the dinner table while eating with the kids, who are unsurprisingly quick to grumble.

“Ew, guys, can you guys not kiss in French again?” Reign pleads from off-screen, adding: “Can you guys please not French kiss?”

Kourtney shares her three kids with ex-boyfriend Scott Disick, who she was in an on-off relationship with for almost 10 years. After calling it quits with Scott for good, she and Travis started dating and became engaged last year in a fantasy proposal.

The two are currently in Italy preparing for their lavish wedding ceremony after they legally tied the knot earlier this week.

They’re also in the process of having a child together, with their fertility treatments being documented elsewhere on the show

Speaking during this season’s sixth episode, Kourtney spoke about how excited she was to have a blended family with Travis. The Blink-182 drummer has two children who he shares with his ex-wife Shanna Moakler – Alabama Lueller, 16, and Landon Asher, 18.

“I love the idea of a blended family. I think that, you know, the more kids the merrier,” she said, adding: “And it’s like more people to love. I am really close with Travis’ kids and I love them and it’s a beautiful thing.”

Kourtney Kardashian admits she still sleeps with her 10-year-old daughter

Over the summer, the world watched as Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker tied the knot and embarked on their new life together.

However, it seems it’s not all newlywed bliss for the celebrity couple.

In an interview with Dear Media’s Not Skinny, Not Fat podcast on Tuesday (October 4), reality TV star Kourtney revealed that not only does she and Travis often not share a bed – they don’t even live in the same house.

The 43-year-old Poosh founder explained that since both she and her new husband have kids from previous relationships, they wanted to take things slowly.

“We want our kids to also feel really comfortable and they have both lived in their homes their whole lives for the most part, and they each have their rooms and we are a block away,” she explained to host Amanda Hirsch.

The mom-of-three went on to stay that she still often still shares a bed with her daughter rather than her new husband, saying: “She’s slept with me every day since she was born.”

Despite this, Kourtney made it clear that she still finds time for Travis, explaining that she’ll head over to his house when her kids are staying with their dad Scott.

“When the kids are at their dad’s house, I stay at his house and there’s still nights when we’ll stay at each other’s houses in between,” she said.

“I get up at six in the morning and I carpool every morning, and then I go straight to his house and have matcha. He has it ready for me,” she said.

All About Kourtney Kardashian’s “Invite-Only” Rule for Her New Son and Why Kim Hasn’t Met Him Yet

Kourtney Kardashian, who’s gracefully aging like fine wine at 44, seems to be playing the VIP card when it comes to introducing her newborn son. The reality star and her punk rock hubby, Travis Barker, who’s apparently perpetually 47, welcomed little Rocky 13 Barker into the world recently. And guess what? Kourtney is guarding her precious bundle of joy like a queen guarding her crown jewels.

According to the US Sun, Kourtney is being extra cautious about when she’ll let the world lay eyes on her baby. It’s like the Met Gala of baby introductions, people! Even her sister Kim Kardashian, a tender 43-year-old, hasn’t had the honor of a Rocky encounter yet. Talk about exclusive access!

A mysterious source spilled the beans, saying, “Kourtney is going all fancy with an ‘invite-only’ system to reveal the new baby to her clan. She and Travis are like, ‘We need some quality time with our newly blended family, and Kourtney needs to recuperate, honey.’ Only then will they issue golden tickets to the extended family members, one by one.”

It’s the hottest guessing game in town now! Who’s going to score that second invite after Kris Jenner? Will it be like a reality TV Hunger Games to decide who gets in? 🏹

And Kourtney, with her ingenious “germs thing,” is basically playing baby bodyguard. No risks, no germs, no compromising that baby’s fresh-out-of-the-oven newness. It’s all part of her master plan to keep everyone at arm’s length. Literally!

Now, let’s talk about their blended family. It’s like a gourmet smoothie of  celebrity genes. Kourtney’s got Mason, Penelope, and Reign from her previous life with Scott Disick, and Travis brings Landon and Alabama from his former adventures with Shanna Moakler. It’s like the Brady Bunch for the punk-rock-loving, reality TV-watching crowd.

As for Rocky’s exact birthdate, well, that’s top-secret information. All we know is that Kourtney and Travis were spotted leaving a hospital in Los Angeles, CA. If only they’d used a smoke machine and a red carpet, it would’ve been a proper Hollywood event. Travis was even seen making frequent visits to his wife and their tiny rockstar-in-the-making last week.

But hold your horses; it wasn’t all smooth sailing for the power couple. Word on the street is they were sweating buckets leading up to Rocky’s grand entrance. A sneaky source spilled the deets, saying, “Kourtney practically set up camp in the hospital days before the baby made its grand debut. It was a nail-biter! Travis was her trusty sidekick through it all, and they were both walking on eggshells. This pregnancy was scarier than a horror movie marathon.”

However, the happy ending is that they now have a sweet new addition to their family. They’re feeling as blessed as a Kardashian’s bank account, and they’re over the moon that Rocky Thirteen Barker has officially joined the circus we call celebrity life! 🎪👶🤩

Beyoncé Threatens Cease-and-Desist After Trump Campaign Uses Her Song ‘Freedom’ on Social Media: Report

The song choice instantly caught attention online, as Democratic nominee Kamala Harris has used it at several campaign events

The Trump campaign has gotten Beyoncé’s attention for all the wrong reasons.

Steven Cheung, a spokesperson for Donald Trump, shared a video on his own X account of the former president walking off a plane on Tuesday, Aug. 20, set to the track “Freedom” off Beyoncé’s 2016 album Lemonade. “Touchdown in Michigan!! @realDonaldTrump,” the caption read.

The use of the song, which also features Kendrick Lamar, instantly caught attention online, as Democratic nominee Kamala Harris has used it at several campaign events.

While Beyoncé, 42, has not commented on the video, Rolling Stone reported on Wednesday, Aug. 21, that the Trump campaign did not have permission to use the track and that the singer has threatened to send the Republican presidential nominee’s camp a cease-and-desist. PEOPLE has reached out to a representative for Beyoncé for comment.

The Harris campaign most recently used the track in a new ad unveiled on Monday, Aug. 19, during the first day of the Democratic National Convention.

Although Beyoncé has not officially endorsed Harris, she’s voiced her support for the Democratic party on various occasions, including in 2013, when she sang the national anthem at former President Barack Obama’s inauguration. In 2020, she posted a social media clip encouraging voters for current President Joe Biden.

However, Harris has officially been endorsed by Beyoncé’s mother, Tina Knowles.

The fashion designer, 70, posted a photo next to Harris in late July on Instagram, writing, “New, Youthful, Sharp , , energy !!!! You asked for it and our President Biden did what was best for the country ! Putting personal Ego , power and fame aside . That is the definition of a great leader, . Thank you, President Biden for your service and your leadership . Go Vice President Kamala Harris for President. Let’s Go ❤️❤️❤️❤️ #kamala2024.”

Earlier this month, the Trump campaign was called out by Céline Dion for using her 1997 hit song “My Heart Will Go On” at a campaign rally in Montana.

“Today, Celine Dion’s management team and her record label, Sony Music Entertainment Canada Inc., became aware of the unauthorized usage of the video, recording, musical performance, and likeness of Celine Dion singing “My Heart Will Go On” at a Donald Trump / JD Vance campaign rally in Montana,” a statement shared on the performer’s social media accounts read.

“In no way is this use authorized, and Celine Dion does not endorse this or any similar use. …And really, THAT song?” the statement continued, referencing its original use in the 1997 blockbuster film Titanic.

Taylor Swift says Simone Biles made her interested in women in sports. “She’s a strong woman, and what she does always feels like magic to me. She’s a legend, and I celebrate her.”

Ticketmaster’s Prices For Beyonce Tickets Were So Mind-Blowing That These Fans Are Flying To Sweden To See Her

“We were like, well, we can’t not see the Renaissance tour, so where are we going to go?”

Jess McCraney couldn’t get tickets to Beyoncé’s Renaissance tour in Las Vegas, so she went with the next best option: a quick 15-hour flight to Sweden.

“It was the only place I could get through,” McCraney, who lives in Las Vegas, told BuzzFeed News. After waiting in the presale Ticketmaster online queue for hours on Feb. 6, McCraney bought tickets to one of Beyoncé’s May shows outside of Stockholm for $300 because a friend tipped her off about the cheap international option.

Luckily for McCraney, Sweden was already on her travel bucket list.

“I thought, ‘Sure, why not?’” she told BuzzFeed News.

Buying concert tickets through Ticketmaster’s verified fan system, which Beyoncé fans had to do earlier this month, has become an ordeal. Congress even got involved after thousands of fans weren’t able to secure tickets for Taylor Swift’s Eras tour in November, leading some Switfies to even sue the ticketing site.

So when Beyoncé announced that tickets to her world tour would go on sale in early February, fans knew they had to come prepared if they wanted to catch one of the most highly anticipated tours of recent memory. Some took off work to dedicate the entire day to buying tickets, others saved money for tickets, and the most devoted committed to traveling out of the country just to see Bey “fuck up the night” in person.

It just so happens that Sweden, where ticket prices were significantly lower and Beyoncé is kicking off her tour with back-to-back shows on May 10 and 11, became a hot spot destination for fans.

Joann Mauricette, who lives in Orlando, is among the fans heading to Scandinavia to see the “Alien Superstar.” When she saw Beyoncé added a May 11 date in Solna, Sweden, it felt too perfect — that’s Mauricette’s birthday.

“What am I going to do? Go to Sweden for Beyoncé?” she said. “That sounds ridiculous.”

Then again, floor tickets in Sweden were just $95, and Mauricette hasn’t been on a vacation in years. Plus, she has family in London she could stay with for most of her trip. All of a sudden, her decision was made: Mauricette would travel 11-plus hours to see Beyoncé in Sweden for her 24th birthday.

“It was really a series of just incredible circumstances coming together that I didn’t even realize were happening,” she said.

For others, price wasn’t the goal. Being among the first few to see Bey dance to “Break My Soul” and “Cuff It” was.

“We’re all avid travelers and avid Beyoncé fans, and so it was a very natural marriage,” Ayesha Upshur, who lives in Washington DC, said of her friend group. Sweden wasn’t on the top of her travel bucket list. But the Scandinavian shows’ tickets were $400, compared to a ticket at the same level in DC for about $900. Upshur’s round-trip plane ticket to Sweden was roughly $600, so seeing Beyoncé in Sweden not only sounded like fun but made sense financially. In fact, Upshur and her four friends were so committed to their Sweden Beyoncé fantasy that they bought plane tickets before they bought concert tickets.

“None of us have missed a tour yet,” she said.

There’s not a clear reason why tickets for Beyoncé’s concerts are cheaper in Sweden. Ticketmaster did not respond to a request for comment; a representative for Visit Sweden, a national marketing company promoting the country, said that Swedish currency is currently weak compared to the US dollar, so it’s “extremely price-worthy” to visit Sweden right now.

It’s not just Sweden. Given how expensive and limited Beyonce’s tickets were stateside, many fans are traveling within North America to see Bey wherever they can. This includes Chicagoan Alec Jordan and his partner. Jordan was determined to see Beyoncé on this tour because much of the new album’s sound was derived from house music, which was created in Chicago by Black queer people.

“I’ve been a huge Beyoncé fan for forever,” he said. “She’s my diva and this album is my favorite album from her and [it has] so many different genres.”

But Jordan and his partner have weddings to attend during the July weekend Beyoncé is performing in Chicago.

“We were like, ‘Well, we can’t not see the Renaissance tour, so where are we going to go?’” Jordan said.

So they started looking for shows in cities they wanted to visit and where they have friends, like Vancouver, where tickets for the Sept. 11 concert were $300. That was cheaper than what Jordan had seen for shows stateside.

While Jordan is leaving Chicago to see Bey, Alex Coleman is heading straight there. In July, he’ll travel from Dayton, Ohio, to Chicago to see the star. The 24-year-old spent about $800 on two concert tickets, and the plane ticket cost him $500. Having a friend in the Windy City sealed the deal.

​​“She’s an artist that I’ve grown up listening to, and any videos I’ve seen of her performances, like at Coachella, have been phenomenal,” he said of Beyoncé. “I want to experience that energy in person.”

While Beyoncé regularly toured in the early aughts and 2010s, it’s now rare to catch a full-fledged performance. She hasn’t logged a world tour since 2016’s for the Formation album, and her two shows at Coachella in 2018 and her gig in Dubai last month — her first live show in four years — weren’t exactly easy to attend.

“I don’t know if she’s going to be doing too much touring after this one. If it is her last time doing a big tour, I want to [be there],” McCraney said. “So I made plans to go to this one for sure.”
