Kardashian And Davidson Have Ended Their Relationship.

Kim Kardashian and comedian Pete Davidson have ended their relationship, a source close to the couple tells CNN. "They did break up this week amicably due to distance and schedules," the source said. The pair, who became Instagram official in March and made their red carpet debut in May, have been romantically linked since October 2021. In an episode of her Hulu series, Kardashian opened up about meeting Davidson when she hosted "Saturday Night Live" and making a connection with him. "I did 'SNL,'" Kardashian said on the show."And then when we kissed in the scene, it was just a vibe." She later said she decided to pursue him after their kiss during filming for a skit. The reality TV star left the sketch comedy show after eight years at the end of last season. Kardashian was declared leg...

A Growing Number Of Strippers, Actors And Others Are Seeking Protection From Unions.

On any given weekend night in North Hollywood, a group of dancers in outlandish costumes hold signs urging customers to stay away from the Star Garden Topless bar. More than a dozen of the club's dancers say they've been locked out for four-plus months because they petitioned the owners to reinstate two of their fired colleagues, improve security and safety measures, and recognize their right to form a worker union. In an environment where more American workers are leveraging their own power, these strippers have tried unsuccessfully to unionize before. That is to a great extent in view of fruitful unionization endeavors at behemoths like Starbucks (SBUX), Amazon (AMZN) and Apple (AAPL), which snatched features and motivated others to send off their own — including staple laborers at a ...

Visitors To The Tallest In The World’s Tree Must Pay $5,000.

Hyperion, which was certified by Guinness World Records as the world's tallest living tree in 2007 -- stands at a height of 115.9 meters (380 feet) -- California's Redwood National Park has put off-limits to visitors. According to a statement released by park officials, anyone caught near the tree could face up to six months in jail and a $5,000 fine. The coast redwood (sequoia sempervirens) tree is deep in the park and has no trails leading to it; it has faced serious environmental degradation from thrill-seekers who have visited since 2006, when it was found by a pair of naturalists. Hyperion is located off trail through dense vegetation and requires heavy 'bushwhacking' in order to reach the tree, according to the National Park Service's statement on its website. The park service sta...

A Mountain That Just Keeps Growing.’ What To Know About The E-Waste Left Behind By Your Gadgets

If you have old gadgets and wires filling up a drawer, you are not alone. Decades of the tech sector's pressure to "innovate or die" have led to a long list of useful and flashy household tech products—but many of these same devices also have a need to be replaced at almost the same rapid rate that new technology emerges. The result of this so-called planned obsolescence, combined with a limited number of options to repair older devices over the years, is a tsunami of electronic waste, also known as e-waste. And the fallout from it extends far beyond the headache of figuring out what to do with the clutter tucked away inside your home. "Planned obsolescence just makes it worse," said Jim Puckett, executive director of BAN Basel Action Network, an e-waste watchdog group based in Seattle. "P...

Expectations For Ronaldo Look Bleak As Transfer Speculation Heightens.

Last year, superstar Cristiano Ronaldo made a sensational return to Manchester United after spending five seasons with Real Madrid. But it appears that the 37-year-old wants to play in the Champions League again, which means he may have to leave his current club. Manchester United says it has no plans to sell the player, but peace talks between the two camps have reportedly failed this week after Ronaldo's heart was set on playing at the very highest level while he still can. However, despite being one of the greatest players to ever play the game, it seems Ronaldo's options are limited. According to widespread reports in European media outlets this week, Atlético Madrid had been a potential destination for him but not everyone at the Spanish club was happy with the possibility of signing ...

The Department Of Defense Killed Al Qaeda Leader Ayman Al-Zawahiri Using A Drone Strike In Afghanistan.

US President Joe Biden said Monday that the United States had killed al Qaeda leader Ayman al-Zawahiri in a drone strike. "I authorized a precision strike that would remove him from the battlefield, once and for all," Biden said. Zawahiri, who just turned 71 years old, had remained a visible international symbol of the group, 11 years after the US killed Osama bin Laden. At one point, he acted as bin Laden's personal physician. Osama bin Laden's successor Ayman al-Zawahiri had been sheltering in downtown Kabul to reunite with his family, US vice president Joe Biden said on Monday. He was killed in what a senior administration official described as "a precise tailored airstrike" using two Hellfire missiles. The drone strike was conducted at 9:48 p.m. ET on Saturday and was authorized by ...

A New Study Has Found That Taking Vitamin D Won’t Protect Your Bones, Despite Its Popularity.

Taking a higher dose of vitamin D to protect your bones is not necessary if you are a healthy middle-aged or older adult with no existing bone disease or vitamin D deficiency, according to researchers at the National Institutes of Health. The study found that taking 2,000 IU (international units) a day of supplemental vitamin D3 without calcium over the course of more than five years did not reduce hip, wrist or pelvic fractures when compared with taking a daily placebo. A fake treatment is a farce pill given to patients so they will accept they are seeking the genuine treatment. "This is the biggest, longest, randomized controlled preliminary on vitamin D supplementation in the US - - 25,871 people were enlisted from each of the 50 states, including 20% Black members," said concentr...

Julia Fox Takes The Trend To Unusual Lows With Look Of The Week.

Julia Fox rose to fame in 2021 after a brief but indelible relationship with Kanye West, and has since become an almost constant source of internet chatter. She has achieved this with her sartorial unpredictability and DIY-ing a bandeau top and matching bottoms out of a single pair of jeans using just a pair of scissors. Her now quintessential finger-painted black eyeliner look is fast becoming the enfant terrible of celebrity fashion. The ensemble, designed by Liza Kearne of Central Saint Martins, is the latest in a new genre of extremist fashion. Recent fashion weeks have touted super short hem-lines (a la Miu Miu's era-defining micro-mini skirt), risque prints (see: the revival of the trompe l'oeil), and cut-out silhouettes. Last Friday, actress and model Meghan Fox was photographed ...

She Decided To Remove Ableist Slander From The Word For “Hot” After Receiving Backlash From Disability Supporters.

After facing online backlash and criticism from disability campaigners, Beyoncé announced that she will remove an ableist slur from her new album, "Renaissance." The 40-year-old singer received rave reviews when she debuted her dance-inspired seventh studio album on Friday, but she came under fire over the weekend when fans noticed the inclusion of a derogatory term in the song "Heated." On the track, co-written by Drake, Beyoncé sings the line: "Spazzin' on that ass, spazz on that ass." The word "spaz" was originally an offensive slur referring to people with cerebral palsy, but has since been reclaimed and used by some members of the disabled community. However, the word is still considered demeaning by many others, including disability advocate Hannah Diviney. "So @Beyonce used the w...

Alibaba’s Stock Price Dipped Significantly As A Result Of The Threat Of Its US Delisting.

Alibaba shares fell Monday after a U.S. regulatory agency added the stock to a growing list of Chinese companies that might be kicked off Wall Street if U.S. auditors cannot inspect their financial statements. Alibaba (BABA) slid as much as 6% in Hong Kong but then pared losses to 3.8% in the afternoon. Friday's drop came after the Securities and Exchange Commission put the company on its watchlist. Investors have been worried about the Chinese tech giant Alibaba for years. In late 2020, however, the company was caught up in a sweeping crackdown on China's booming technology sector. The stock has fallen nearly 70% from its all-time high and investors have wiped out billions of dollars from Alibaba's market cap. The crackdown, coupled with a weakening economy, has slowed the revenue grow...
