Kim Kardashian’s Daughter North Stuns Fans As She Flaunts ‘Face Piercings’
It comes just weeks after the twelve-year-old sparked online backlash for sporting risky finger studs, with many slamming her famous parents for giving her such freedom at a young age.
Kanye West and Kim Kardashian had been at loggerheads over their daughter’s social media activities following their divorce, but recent reports suggest the “Donda” rapper now supports North.

North West Rocks’ Face Piercings’ While Out On A Shopping Spree
North has made headlines again for her bold fashion statements after previously coming under fire for the same. This time, she was seen sporting “face piercings” while out on a weekend shopping spree.
The preteen was photographed with what appeared to be several metallic studs across her bridge and cheek, but they’re only temporary stickers that gave the illusion of facial “piercings.”
Blue-haired North was dressed in an all-black ensemble as she rocked a diamond-crusted “skull” neck chain, and Black hand gloves with skeleton prints.
Her latest fashion statement appears to be an attempt to look the part, as she promotes her debut new single, “Piercing On My Hand,” which she recently performed with her father at his concert in Mexico last month.

Fans Have Mixed Reactions To North West’s Body Modifications
Social media had mixed reactions to North’s piercings, as some fans had a go at her parents, calling them “irresponsible,” while others commended her style.
“Does she even go to school and do school work? This little girl is headed down a terrible path,” a critic wrote on X, while another added that they “wish she would be allowed to be a kid.”
However, a few fans resonated with North’s fashion choice and didn’t hold back from praising her.
“Is it just me, or is anyone else fw north style? I actually like that Kim lets her explore and express herself through fashion,” a fan penned.
Another person said, “Love her and her style. The adults tryna bully her should do better.”

“I will never understand people that shame her simply bc she has colored hair. We all wanted colorful hair growing up, and what? Some piercing? What’s wrong with that? And her clothes are so modest and appropriate for her age,” one user wrote.
Some even branded her a female version of her dad, with one writing, “She’s literally just female Kanye.”

North West Is Building Her Own Fashion Brand

North’s style has increasingly become bolder by the months, and has included a custom-made set of grillz by jeweler Johnny Dang. In recent times, she changed it to a pair of black grillz designed by influencer Sukii Baby.
The nepo baby is already carving a path for herself in the fashion world as she’s set to launch her own clothing and jewelry line, soon named “NOR11.” The brand will have a wide range of goods and services, including shoes, clothes, and accessories.
According to reports, her famous mom already submitted three trademark applications for the brand, under KimYe’s Kid Inc., which was incorporated in California in August 2023.

Kim Kardashian Has Filed To Trademark A Wide Variety Of Items, Including Watches, For The Child Star

One trademark was for clothing and accessories, including dresses, footwear, hats, and stockings, while the other was for watches and jewelry, such as bracelets, necklaces, earrings, and rings.
The third trademark application was for a variety of bags, for example, handbags, wallets, and cosmetic cases.
The company’s name, under which the trademark was filed, seemingly alludes to both her parents being the owners; however, it appears West has nothing to do with it, as Kardashian is listed as the only officer, per California records.
Kanye West And Kim Kardashian Have Been At Odds About How To Raise Their Kids

West has previously slammed his ex-wife for the way she allows their daughter use social media as well as her fashion choices.
However, the SKIMS founder opened up about the challenges of parenting during an appearance on the “Call Her Daddy” podcast, where she admitted that balancing self-expression with age-appropriate boundaries has been difficult.
“It’s really hard, and it’s really interesting because all the kids are wearing the same things,” Kardashian said. “But then my daughter tries to wear it, and I’m like, ‘OK, we’re never wearing that again.’ Unfortunately, we made that mistake in front of the whole world.”

Meanwhile, she recently shared on her sister Khloe’s “Khloe In Wonderland” podcast that her relationship with her children’s father, which was strained, is now in a good place, per Us Weekly.
“You and Ye have really bonded over North’s producing,” Khloe told her. “You guys are now in a much better place because of that.”

“Yeah, I’m a really empathetic person. I mean, at the end of the day, we’re always family,” Kardashian said. “I always look at it that way, no matter what’s going on. There are times when I have to be super protective, and there are times when, at any moment, I would love that relationship. I’ve always said that.”
“The music side and the producing isn’t my thing, and that’s her bonding thing with her dad,” Kim said of North’s foray into the music world.
“Even just coming up with stuff, we have to communicate about how North moves through that world and all these opportunities that come her way and having to filter that and respecting his opinion on the things that go on with his kids is really important,” she added. “I think it’s important for the kids. You just, kind of, have to put all the other stuff to the side.”

Stephen A. Smith Explains Why He’s Now Open To Presidential Run, ‘Country Sucks’
Stephen A. Smith
Here’s Why I’m Thinking ‘Bout Running For Prez …
And The One Reason I Won’t
Published
TMZSports.com
Stephen A. Smith says he wants to run for president of the United States, but there’s one enormous roadblock … MONEY!
TMZ Sports caught up with the ESPN star, who previously told us he had no interest in running, during Kenny Smith‘s The FlyHouse All-Star Bash in Los Angeles, who told us straight up, “The country sucks.”
“I think the country is devoid of leadership, the kind of leadership we have, we don’t need. The kind of leadership we should be getting, nobody is stepping up and doing. I don’t desire to be a politician, but in the same breath, the opportunity to go on a debate stage and call out these politicians for the things that they’ve done to damage this country is something that very much appeals to me,” SAS told us matter-of-factly.
A strong statement … so, we asked the 58-year-old what it would take for him to actually run, and Smith said this … “My money has to be tight.”
“My quality of life needs to be straight, you know? From my understanding, that can’t happen because I’d have to give it up in order to run.”
FYI, Smith reportedly signed a 5-year, $100 million deal with ESPN last year.
Ultimately, Stephen A. says he’d love the opportunity to “debate these politicians that I think have divided all of us and have really screwed up this country.”
“That’s what I really, really want to do, more so than anything else. But I’m not going to lie and act like it wouldn’t be attractive if I knew I could win the presidency, that I wouldn’t be tempted, because I know I would.”
Don’t expect a final decision to come anytime soon. SAS says nothing “definitive” is coming until 2027.
Until then, we wait.

Nicole Curtis Faces Backlash at Her Kid’s School After N-Word Controversy
Nicole Curtis’ Slur Controversy
Parents at Kid’s School Unglued About Her Volunteering
Published
Some parents at a SoCal school where Nicole Curtis volunteers as a room parent to her son’s class have serious concerns on the heels of her N-word controversy… and at least one has gone to leadership demanding answers, TMZ has learned.
Here’s the deal … the HGTV star has been in hot water since a 2022 video leaked of her using the N-word while filming her popular show, “Rehab Addicts.” She’s was fired — and has issued an apology.
But TMZ has heard from multiple concerned parents at her kid’s school … who tell us they’re super uncomfortable with her working in the classroom as a volunteer — and they think the school should at the very least address the situation with parents.
One parent pointed out there are children of color who attend the school … and they’re shocked leadership has been mum on what happened — and the headline-making fallout.
Another parent told us they, along with others, voiced their concerns to the school administration … who allegedly told them it was not a “school-wide issue,” so there’s not much to be done.
Nicole has been at the school since the 2022 leak … and one parent told us it would be wise for her to read the room — and take some time off to let emotions cool.
Nicole declined to comment.
We’ve reached out to the administration for comment … so far, no word back.

Hulu’s Hit Series Tell Me Lies Is Officially Ending After Season 3
Tell Me Lies will not be coming back for more episodes after its third season.
Creator Meaghan Oppenheimer confirmed on Monday, February 16, that the hit Hulu series would be concluding its run, writing via Instagram, “After three amazing seasons of Tell Me Lies, tonight’s episode will be the series finale. This was always the ending my writing team and I had in mind, and we are insanely proud of it. Your incredible response to this season inspired us to explore whether there was another organic way to continue the story, but ultimately we felt it had reached its natural conclusion.”
She concluded: “My main goal has always been to protect the quality of the show and give you the best experience I can give you. And so, while it is bittersweet to leave something that has been such a happy experience, I am very grateful that we are able to tell a complete story with an intentional ending — a privilege very few shows get. Thank you for loving our show. We are excited to bring you more stories in the near future.”
The season 3 finale scheduled to be released on Tuesday, February 17, will now be considered a series finale as well. Oppenheimer previously broke her silence on the assumption that season 3 of Tell Me Lies is the show’s last.
“In terms of future seasons, it’s impossible to really know at this point,” Oppenheimer exclusively told Us Weekly in January. “I certainly had always thought this was always more or less the ending I’d had in mind.”
Oppenheimer didn’t rule out a return, adding, “But you never know what’s going to happen in the future. But there’s definitely a sense where I didn’t want to leave anything hanging this season. Basically, I wanted to satisfy everyone.”
Based on Carola Lovering’s novel of the same name, Tell Me Lies follows the messy relationship between college students Lucy (Grace Van Patten) and Stephen (Jackson White). Their problematic on-and-off romance ends up lasting eight years — and everyone around them is affected by Lucy and Stephen’s ups and downs.

Season 3, which returned in January, raised the stakes with a surprise romance involving Bree (Cat Missal) and Wrigley (Spencer House), which complicated the present timeline. Bree’s wedding to Evan (Branden Cook) seemingly went off without a hitch despite her still having feelings for Wrigley — and previously learning that her now-husband hooked up with Lucy in college.
Off screen, Oppenheimer spoke to Us about how the writers’ room juggles the story lines that happen across two timelines.
“I always had a sense of where they are in 2015 and what their dynamic is and what secrets everyone is holding. Once you at least know what people know and what they don’t know, that gives you a lot of space to play,” she noted in 2024. “But the way that we constructed it is we definitely did the 2008 story line first in the room. We kind of mapped out the whole season and then we did 2015 as its own thing.”
Oppenheimer continued: “I knew where I wanted to end the season, though, in 2015. I knew where it needed to get to.”
After Tell Me Lies was renewed for a third season, Oppenheimer signed an overall deal with 20th Television, which is a part of Disney Television Studios.
“Meaghan has shepherded Tell Me Lies for two intensely addictive seasons that fueled an incredible wave of obsessive fan and social conversation,” president of 20th Television Karey Burke said in a December 2024 statement. “We are thrilled to have her officially in the studio fold and at the helm of another dramatic season.”
The final episode of Tell Me Lies airs Tuesday, February 17, on Hulu.

Although the restaurant owners appeared to waive off the legendary rapper’s bills, he didn’t let their generosity go unnoticed. The children of the family who own Cronox, the bar Dogg visited, recounted the story to Reuters in a video later shared on Instagram.
“Snoop Dogg ordered a cheeseburger, chicken wings, chicken nuggets, and French fries at Cronox, the bar of my parents,” one of the kids, Sofia Valmdre, said in the clip.
She continued explaining that the rapper had sent his staff to receive the food, but they were unable to pay as it “wasn’t going [through].”
Valmadre added that her mother had consented to his taking the food without paying, only for them to receive a gift from him after. “Today, he sent us five tickets to see the final,” Valamdre shared excitedly. “Grazie, Snoop!”

Snoop Dogg Makes Several Appearances During The Olympic Games

Before Dogg’s embarrassing card decline, Snoop had already been lighting up the Games with his trademark charisma. In one viral moment, The Blast reported, the 54-year-old rapper took to the slopes with a GoPro strapped on, attempting to glide through the snow.
Midway down, he shouted, “Oh sh-t!” as he wobbled precariously, fighting to stay upright. When the ride finally ended, Snoop collapsed onto the snow, lying flat on his back, seemingly in relief.
In another moment, Dogg was seen as the biggest American cheerleader. He proudly rocked a custom shirt featuring Team USA’s Korey Dropkin and Cory Thiesse, cheering alongside Dropkin’s mom as the duo improved to 4-0 at the Games.

Snoop Dogg’s Courtside Commentary Steals the Show

Beyond the Olympics, Snoop has continued to shine in the sports world. Last month, The Blast reported NBC welcomed Dogg as a guest analyst for the Los Angeles Clippers-Golden State Warriors matchup, and he delivered a brilliant commentary, switching between reporter and analyst roles.
Joining Terry Gannon and Reggie Miller in the booth, Dogg rolled in remarkable one-liners. After Jimmy Butler snagged a steal, Snoop quipped, “Cookies and cream! They opened up a cookie shop on him!”
Later, when Brook Lopez held his ground in the paint, Snoop delivered another gem: “Small fries tryin’ to run up on a Big Mac.”

“This horse is off the chain! I gotta get this motherf-cker in a video,” he added, prompting his co-host Kevin Hart into a fit of laughter.

Virgin River Timeline Explained: How Much Time Has Passed Since Season 1?
While Virgin River is Netflix’s longest-running scripted series, viewers have been left confused about how much time has actually passed on the show.
Based on Robyn Carr’s book series, Virgin River follows the lives of residents living in a small town in Northern California, including Mel (Alexandra Breckenridge) and Jack (Martin Henderson). The hit series, which premiered in 2019, also stars Colin Lawrence, Annette O’Toole, Tim Matheson, Benjamin Hollingsworth, Sarah Dugdale, Zibby Allen, Marco Grazzini, Mark Ghanimé and Kai Bradbury.
Netflix’s hit series is seven seasons in – but it seems like way less time has passed for the residents of Virgin River. Mel signed one-year contract with Doc (Matheson) that is somehow not up yet while Charmaine’s pregnancy lasted five seasons of the show.
“I’m like, ‘You guys, eventually, you’re gonna have to do a time jump because we’re just aging way too fast for a five-month span,’” Allen, who plays Brie, joked to Today in 2022. “But yeah, I think that the pregnancy thing was one of the first sort of tells because even I, when I was watching the show before I was on, was like, ‘Oh, this covers way more time in the story.’ And it really doesn’t.”
With some of Us still confused how long each season has covered, keep scrolling for a breakdown.
Season 1 (One Month)

The debut season covered Mel’s initial arrival in the early spring but it seemed to only last four weeks maximum.
Season 2 (Four to Six Weeks)

Barely any time went by so season 2 stretched across a little over one month.
Season 3 (One Month)

Following Jack’s shooting, there was a time jump of three weeks before seasons 2 and 3. The rest of the events lasted another four weeks before Mel realized she was pregnant.
Season 4 (Four to Six Weeks)

The fourth season picked up around one to two weeks after season 3. This allowed Mel to continue to remain in the first trimester for the rest of season 4.
Season 5 (Three to Four Months)

Based on the holidays that took place on screen – from Labor Day to Christmas — season 5 was the longest to date with at least three months passing. There was a small time jump between parts 1 and 2 though, which allowed for the timeline to expand.
Season 6 (One Month)

The buildup to Mel and Jack’s wedding led to a timeline of three to four weeks maximum. Season 4 notably picked up in the spring, which meant there was a large time jump since the third season wrapped at Christmastime.
