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.”
Jeffrey Epstein’s Zorro Ranch
Police Turned Blind Eye to Pedophilia …
New Owner Says
Published
The new owner of Jeffrey Epstein‘s notorious Zorro Ranch in New Mexico is speaking out, claiming the property was never visited by police despite numerous allegations women and girls were sex trafficked there for years.
Don Huffines — a wealthy Texas businessman and former Republican state senator with ties to MAGA — posted a message on X Monday night, saying he and his family purchased the ranch in 2024 and “maintained an open line of communication with local authorities.”
In 2023, four years after Epstein’s death, San Rafael Ranch had been listed on the open market for years and was scheduled for public auction.
At the time of the sale, it was marketed that the proceeds would go to the victims. It has since been confirmed by the estate’s…
@DonHuffines
However, law enforcement never requested access to the Santa Fe property even though Epstein was accused of sex trafficking and sexually assaulting women and girls there when he was alive, according to Huffines. There was also talk about bodies being buried on the property … but that was never proven.
In his X post, Huffines noted he always made it clear he would allow police to have full access to the property with his total cooperation, yet the authorities never took him up on his offer.
Now, Huffines is doing some good with the property by renaming it San Rafael Ranch — after the saint associated with healing — and turning it into a Christian retreat. He and his family purchased the ranch 4 years after Epstein’s death at a public auction.
In 2019, Epstein died by suicide in his cell at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in Manhattan while awaiting trial on federal sex trafficking charges.

Apple TV’s Divisive 10-Episode Psychological Thriller Miniseries Is Better Than Its Brutal RT Score
Trying to create a psychological thriller with a huge mystery and then basing it on a popular true-crime story is a questionable choice at best. But in Apple TV’s The Crowded Room, it actually works, despite what the majority of critics say. Unfortunately, it received a 33% on Rotten Tomatoes, mainly criticized for its shallow and anticlimactic reveal, and while this is somewhat true, The Crowded Room‘s premise makes way for Tom Holland‘s most versatile performance on screen, which is particularly exciting after his Marvel grind. It doesn’t work as a mystery, but thrives as a character-driven show, one you’ll want to binge for their precarious fate.
Danny Sullivan (Holland) is an awkward, bullied teen with two best friends who convince him to deal drugs, a high school crush who plays with his heart, a step-father who severely mistreats him and a mother who doesn’t protect him. One day, after a particularly awful bullying incident, he finds refuge with new neighbor Yitzak (Lior Raz) and party girl Ariana (Sasha Lane) and decides to call it home. When he and Ariana decide to take vengeance on a childhood abuser, Danny is arrested and interviewed by Doctor Rya Goodwin (Amanda Seyfried). As the series progresses, Rya tries to dig for the truth about where Danny’s friends are, why he would commit these crimes, and if there are more heinous crimes yet to uncover.
Apple TV’s ‘The Crowded Room’ Is Driven by Its Multi-Faceted Characters
The biggest mistake the show commits is revealing its source material too openly, as it is based on a non-fiction book about a figure that even the most casual true-crime fans will recognize. Luckily for The Crowded Room, its appeal lies in the character-driven story, one that will make you invested in their growth and outcomes, nary of whether you’ve guessed the “grand reveal.” There is a wealth of multi-faceted, flawed, and fascinating characters to explore, including Danny’s two new roommates who straddle the line between being his saviors and pushing his boundaries relentlessly. Jason Isaacs also enters the show as Jack Lamb, a mysterious, charming figure who offers to introduce Danny to his biological dad.
Around the halfway point of the limited series, the framing narrative of Danny talking to Doctor Rya shifts and the show explores her personal life and motivations. She is an overworked mother in the middle of a grueling divorce process, simply trying to make ends meet while also pursuing her academic ambitions. Upon discovering that her thesis is about Danny, on one hand, the mystery around his situation increases, but also fleshes out Rya’s stakes and determination. At first, Seyfried’s performance is restricted to her expressive eyes from across the table to Holland, but in the second half, she wavers between distress and tenacity, which is a compelling mix. As we invest in her, we in turn care more about the case’s outcome for her research, and thus the psychological tension demands our attention until the very end.
Tom Holland Delivers a Gritty, Devastating Performance in ‘The Crowded Room’
At the center of all these vibrant characters is Danny, almost forlorn and pitiful by comparison, but who grows in nuance as the series delves into his mental health. Holland is nothing like the happy-go-lucky superhero he is famous for in the MCU, and is more akin to the angsty teenager in The Devil All the Time. But Danny is imbued with an ache to be loved and cared for, finding it in perhaps all the wrong places, while also discovering troubling things about himself and his past. It’s a harrowing performance that doesn’t really get any substantial reprieve, so much so that Holland claimed he would need to take a year off acting after production.
I Don’t Think We Truly Realize How Much Is at Stake for Tom Holland’s ‘Spider-Man 4’
‘Avengers: Doomsday’ and ‘Avengers: Secret Wars’ might get in the way of the eerie ending to ‘Spider-Man: No Way Home.’
Holland showed off his range in this role, but it is his performance next to Emmy Rossum as Danny’s mother, Candy, that really shines in The Crowded Room. Their turbulent relationship captures many of the misconceptions around mental health and the misunderstandings that can arise when you don’t have a stable support system. As Danny struggles to navigate his mental landscape, he also confronts how his mother failed to protect him, while Candy deals with her own demons and fears. The finale, in particular, has a moving moment between the two, one that will tug at the heartstrings of any parent as the question of forgiveness is dissected. Apart from Danny’s relationship with himself, this mother-son dynamic is one of the most evocative in the series, providing enough substance to mull over throughout the show.
The Crowded Room may have failed in the eyes of critics, but it has a wealth of character studies that make for a satisfying and thoughtful watch. Holland is at the forefront of them all, and if you’ve only watched him in the MCU, then this miniseries will change the way you see the actor as he showcases his versatility. With only ten episodes, the slow-burning thriller makes for a chilling binge — even if you immediately recognize the real case it is based on.

Netflix’s Divisive 10-Part Crime Thriller Is the Perfect Weekend Binge Ahead of Its Season 2 Drop
The art of a good crime procedural is not so easily replicated. Classics such as Law & Order are remembered for their gripping portrayal of detectives and lawyers, but there are just as many series that have fallen through the cracks. To be truly successful, procedurals need to have a solid set-up that can deliver the same formula week to week. Criminal Minds became popular because it added psychology to the mix. NBC has shown that this art is not dead with the latest take on the genre.
The 2025 series The Hunting Party has delivered on the promise of a good procedural, though not everyone may agree. Critics and fans are divided on the merits of the series, according to Rotten Tomatoes. The Hunting Party has garnered an 18% critics’ score and an 83% audience score. When there is such a large divide of opinion on a show, that typically means it’s worth a watch.
‘The Hunting Party’ is Reminiscent of the Golden Age of Procedurals
Right out of the gate, The Hunting Party has a concept that measures up against the greats. The story is straightforward with little room for interpretation, which is where procedurals like to live. The series follows FBI Agent Bex Henderson (Melissa Roxburgh) at a low point in her life. Working security for a casino, she gets recruited to the world of psychological profiling. Her talents are specifically required because a super-secret prison housing serial killers recently suffered a breakout.
The Hunting Party compels audiences to suspend their disbelief with the idea of The Pit, a prison where the worst criminals are kept in secret and experimented on. This is the joy of these types of shows, which have a history on network television. One of the more heightened serialized programs on a network was Prison Break, which joyfully explored government conspiracies with no hint of subtlety. This may explain why critics and fans are divided on the issue of The Hunting Party.
While not exactly reinventing the wheel, The Hunting Party is a classic good-versus-evil tale as Bex races to capture a different serial killer week-to-week. Shows like these are tailor-made for appointment television, which regrettably has become a thing of the past. NBC is one of the last bastions of an era gone by, where viewers can tune in and not feel like they’re missing anything. There is still a place for programming like this, and The Hunting Party doesn’t take it for granted.
In addition to a weekly villain, the series also weaves in overarching mythology to keep viewers engaged. It uses the fascinating field of psychology — like Criminal Minds did — as a touchstone for fans as well. Psychoanalyzing killers is one of the reasons why true crime has become so popular, and The Hunting Party is ready to deliver the same thrills. The first season is only 10 episodes, which means fans can catch up quickly to Season 2.
The Hunting Party airs on Thursdays on NBC and is available to stream the next day on Peacock.

Reverend Jesse Jackson
Dead At 84
Published
Reverend Jesse Jackson, the civil rights icon who twice ran for U.S. president, has died, according to his family.
Jesse’s family issued a statement Tuesday morning, saying … “Our father was a servant leader — not only to our family, but to the oppressed, the voiceless, and the overlooked around the world.”
They went on … “We shared him with the world, and in return, the world became part of our extended family. His unwavering belief in justice, equality, and love uplifted millions, and we ask you to honor his memory by continuing the fight for the values he lived by.”
Jackson died peacefully with his loved ones at his side. In November, Jesse was hospitalized after living for over a decade with progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP), according to his Rainbow PUSH Coalition. The disease impacts patients’ ability to walk and swallow and has dangerous complications.
Jackson’s official cause of death was not released.
He was 84.

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.

“I have little kids now, and I want to spend as much time with them as possible, while they still want to spend time with me,” Cooper tells EW in a statement.
