Kim was in a mischievous mood on a night out with her family (Picture: Instagram/kimkardashian)Kim Kardashian was spotted flashing her middle finger as she enjoyed a family night out with her sisters. The Keeping Up With the Kardashians star, 40, enjoyed an evening with her siblings Kourtney, 41, Khloe, 36, Kendall, 25, and Kylie, 23.

She rocked knee-high tan boots for the night out, looking seriously glam for the impromptu photoshoot. In one picture, the Keeping Up With The Kardashians stars looked very relaxed as they lounged beside each other. And in another Kim could be seen cheekily flipping the bird as she held her arm high in the air. https:
Read MoreAmerica’s forever war in Afghanistan might soon be over. President Joe Biden announced plans to withdraw the 2,500 United States troops remaining in Afghanistan by — symbolically of course — Sept. 11. After two decades, the end should have come sooner. “We went to Afghanistan because of a horrific attack that happened 20 years ago. That cannot explain why we should remain there in 2021,” the president said on Wednesday. Indeed, as the president noted in his remarks, it’s been 10 years since Osama bin Laden was killed. Al-Qaeda has been nearly destroyed. Afghanistan now has 300,000 military personnel of its own. And the U.S. retains extensive capabilities to address legitimate terrorism threats in Afghanistan and abroad. For many years now, the precise mission of the U.S. has been vaguely ...
Read MorePhoto Illustration: Scouted/The Daily Beast/TargetI wouldn’t say that I’m accident prone. Clumsy is a bit of a stretch, too. But there’s not a week that passes that I don’t need a BandAid. My hands move quicker than my brain, in broad strokes that often end with me breaking nails or slipping with a knife. This means I must have bandages in my house at all times. I’ve stocked and restocked boxes of the plain, flesh colored bandages until I was sent a Welly First Aid Kit. Yes, I’m a total sucker for packaging, but these days, anything that’s both fun and function brings me a great sense of joy. Unlike the traditional white and red boxes of yesteryear, the Welly First Aid box is all bells and whistles. Inside the brightly colored container is a plethora of personal aid treasures, from banda...

Read MoreThe Queen was accompanied to Prince Philip’s funeral by a lady-in-waiting – but who?Prince Philip has been laid to rest today, with a scaled back funeral service at Windsor Castle and a national minute’s silence. Many might have wondered who would be by the Queen’s side after losing Philip, her consort – and rock – for the last seven decades. With social distancing restrictions keeping some of her family members from getting too close, fortunately, the Queen wasn’t alone. Viewers and social media users were trying to work out who was riding in the car with the Queen. Who was it?

Read MoreKatie has been slammed by some Depop customers (Picture: Depop/YouTube)Katie Price has been hit by negative reviews from fans on Depop after reportedly selling them ‘disappointing’ and ‘stained’ products. The former glamour model has turned her attention to the shopping app to flog her old clothes and shoes, alongside books, calendars and false eyelashes. She happens to boast a reputable five-star rating on the platform, and despite receiving praise from most customers, it seems some are not happy with the quality of the items they have received. Katie, 42, sold a pair of black-studded Valentino heels she had previously worn to Parliament for a lobbying trip for £150. One fan managed to snap up the footwear, but claimed that they arrived ‘wrecked’, while also criticising Katie
Read MoreTamsin Roberts’s husband Leigh was not allowed to be with her when she was told her baby had died (Pictures: BPM Media)A woman was told her baby died while she was apart from her husband because of coronavirus rules, while dozens of people queued on the other side of the wall for a coffee at Costa. Tamsin Roberts went to see a doctor after suffering stomach pain but her scan did not show anything alarming. But four weeks later, on September 1 last year, her 11-week scan showed she had suffered a ‘missed miscarriage’ – when the fetus dies but has not been physically miscarried, so the mum does experience typical symptoms such as bleeding. While Tamsin’s husband Leigh waited in the car, a sonographer at St Peter’s Hospital in Chertsey, Surrey, told her that she had lost her baby.
Read MoreIn the wake of a Hollywood Reporter exposé detailing mega producer Scott Rudin’s alleged long history of toxic bullying and abuse in the workplace, the Academy Award-winning film, television, and stage producer said he will step aside from Broadway producing duties. Apologizing “for the pain [his] behavior caused” his colleagues, Rudin told The Washington Post on Saturday that he made the decision in an effort to take the “steps that I should have taken years ago to address this behavior.” Rudin, the producer of Broadway hits including “The Book of Mormon” and “To Kill a Mockingbird” as well as Oscar-winning films like “No Country for Old Men” and “The Social Network,” was accused in The Hollywood Reporter by former colleagues of “acts of intimidation” spanning decades. On the film side,
Read MoreAmid mounting anger over allegations of bullying, Broadway and Hollywood producer Scott Rudin broke his silence Saturday, saying he is “profoundly sorry” and will step back from his theater work. “After a period of reflection, I’ve made the decision to step back from active participation on our Broadway productions, effective immediately. My roles will be filled by others from the Broadway community and in a number of cases, from the roster of participants already in place on those shows," Rudin said in a statement. The move comes more than a week after The Hollywood Reporter’s cover story on Rudin contained accounts of the producing heavyweight throwing glass bowls, staples and baked potatoes at former employees. In his statement Saturday he did not deny the allegations. “Much has been ...
Read More‘We would love to keep him’ – Steve Bruce keen to extend Joe Willock’s stay at Newcastle after West Ham winner
Joe Willock is making a habit of scoring big late goals on loan at Newcastle (Picture: Getty)Steve Bruce confirmed he would ‘love’ to keep hold of Joe Willock beyond the summer after the on-loan Arsenal midfielder came on to score the winner in Newcastle’s 3-2 victory over West Ham. The visiting Hammers looked down and out as Joelinton doubled Newcastle’s advantage in the 41st minute following Issa Diop’s calamitous own goal and Craig Pawson’s sending off. But a pair of second-half goals from Diop and Jesse Lingard set up a thrilling finish and Willock was sent on in place of Sean Longstaff with nine minutes remaining of Saturday’s breathless Premier League encounter at St James’ Park. Willock’s late introduction worked wonders earlier this month as he found a last-gasp equaliser
Read MoreDavid Thomson, author of “A Biographical Dictionary of Film,” is perhaps the most celebrated living film historian. And at age 80, he is still exploring and examining the cinematic landscape from every angle. In his new book, “A Light in the Dark: A History of Movie Directors,” he features chapters on Orson Welles, Howard Hawks and Alfred Hitchcock, bringing his personal tastes and sensibility to each of their careers. But he goes well beyond those obvious choices. In his chapter on Jean-Luc Godard, he takes down David Lean several pegs, which is nothing compared to the way he devotes a chapter to eviscerating most of Quentin Tarantino’s work outside of “Pulp Fiction.” He also speculates on how the dazzling skill with which “The Godfather” was made actually makes people overlook the film’s
Read MoreIndianapolis' tight knit Sikh community mourned Saturday as members learned that four Sikhs were among the eight people killed in the mass shooting at a FedEx warehouse. The Marion County Coroner’s office identified the dead late Friday as Matthew R. Alexander, 32; Samaria Blackwell, 19; Amarjeet Johal, 66; Jaswinder Kaur, 64; Jaswinder Singh, 68; Amarjit Sekhon, 48; Karli Smith, 19; and John Weisert, 74. Deputy Police Chief Craig McCartt, said Hole apparently began firing randomly at people in the parking lot of the FedEx facility, killing four, before entering the building, fatally shooting four more people and then turning the gun on himself. It was not clear if Sikhs were targeted. Police Chief Randal Taylor noted that a “significant” number of employees at the FedEx facility are mem
Read MoreSummary List PlacementDemocratic Rep. Mondaire Jones of New York on Friday called on Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer to step down at the end of the current term. During an interview with Cheddar News, Jones said the 82-year-old Breyer needed to retire in order to grant President Joe Biden the ability to nominate a new justice. After the death of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg last September, former President Donald Trump quickly nominated Justice Amy Coney Barrett to the court, with her successful Senate confirmation effectively reordering the balance of the court and cementing a 6-3 conservative majority. Many Democrats, still smarting over Trump's installation of three jurists to the Supreme Court, want to avoid the court becoming even more conservative due to older liberal justices...
