KUWTK: Kim Kardashian West's call for more security

Published
By Bang

Kim Kardashian West urged her family to ensure they had "24/7" security at their homes after she was robbed at gunpoint in October.

The 36-year-old beauty was left traumatised after her terrifying ordeal in Paris, France, last October and after stepping up security in a bid to feel safer in the home she shares with husband Kanye West and their two children, North, three, and 13-month-old Saint, she implored her mother Kris Jenner and siblings to do the same.

In a clip for the upcoming new season of 'Keeping Up With the Kardashians', an emotional told her sisters Khloe and Kourtney Kardashian: "We have to have a security guard outside of all of our homes 24/7."

However, the move didn't go down to well with her younger half-sister Kendall Jenner.

She said: "I told everyone a million times I hate when they follow me."

Kris told the model: "I'm just trying to make sure you're protected."

Meanwhile, Scott Disick told Khloe that he will "never" get over Kourtney, the mother of his three children Mason, six, Penelope, four, and Reign, two, despite splitting over a year ago.

The teaser showed him telling the 'Revenge Body' star: "I would never be over her, she's the love of my life."

Khloe asked Scott: "Did you and Kourt, like, kiss?"

Visibly embarrassed, he insisted: "We didn't kiss."

Khloe then quipped: "You told me you kissed!"

Despite speculation Kourtney, 37, and Scott were getting back together, the 33-year-old entrepreneur was spotted cosying up to a model in Miami earlier this week but insiders insisted his former partner wasn't upset by the pictures.

A source said "Kourtney could not care less that Scott hooks up with other girls. They are broken up.

"There has been no chance of reconciliation for quite some time now.

Kendall Jenner paints bedroom pink to 'suppress' her appetite

Kendall Jenner painted her bedroom pink to "suppress" her appetite, a tip which her friends alerted her to after visiting an art exhibition.

The 21-year-old 'Keeping Up With the Kardashians' star - who has modelled for highly recognised fashion brands including Victoria's Secret, Fendi and Balmain - has admitted she redecorated her room with a baby-doll shade of rose in a bid to keep off the hunger pangs, which is a tip her friends advised her to do after they visited an art exhibition.

Speaking on her website kendallj.com about her diet tips, the brunette beauty said: "I decided to paint [my room] pink because while I was trying to figure out what I wanted to do with the room, I went to dinner with friends and they had just gone to the Human Condition exhibition at a former hospital in LA.

"They were telling me there's a pink room at the exhibit that had an explanation of the colour choice: Baker-Miller Pink is the only colour scientifically proven to calm you AND suppress your appetite. I was like, 'I NEED this colour in my house!' (sic)." And the catwalk icon has admitted she will change her outfit to wear more revealing ensembles, such as sheer tops without a bra, when she's having "a good boob day" so she can flaunt her ample assets.

Speaking about her style choices, the television personality said: "I don't know if you can relate, but I just felt like I was having a really good boob day, lol. Do you know what I mean? Your boobs go through phases and on this particular day, I felt like they just looked nice! (sic)"

However, the star has admitted she does consult her fellow model friends, Hailey Baldwin and Gigi Hadid, before she posts images of her in risqué outfits on social media.

She explained: "My shirt was see-through, so I took this photo and just texted it to Hailey and Gigi before I left to meet them and was like, 'Is this too much?'" she continued. "They wrote back, 'It's kind of a lot, but if you're into it, go for it!'"

Blac Chyna's 'unconditional love' for her kids

Blac Chyna was happy to show off her "unconditional love" for her children as she shared a family portrait to Instagram.

The 28-year-old model uploaded a photograph of herself posing with her eldest child King Cairo - who she has with her ex Tyga - and her two-month-old daughter Dream Renée, who she shares with her fiancé Rob Kardashian.

Captioning the image on Instagram, she simply wrote: "Unconditional love."

However, Rob, 29, was noticeably absent from the picture despite the pair having rekindled their romance over the Christmas and New Year period.

Meanwhile, it was previously revealed that the 'Rob and Chyna' stars have been working on their weight loss together.

A source said: "Rob is starting to get active again with the help of Chyna. Rob and Chyna have been taking more hikes together lately so that's been a positive step forward ...

"She is definitely making progress [with her post-baby body], slowly, so she's happy with any progress. She wants her tiny waist back how it looked before Dream. So when she gets there she'll be happy."

And Chyna has a "good relationship" with Rob's mother Kris Jenner as they share a common interest in making sure Rob is "healthy and happy".

An insider added: "Chy and Kris have a good relationship. If she needs to vent or get advice she will call Kris and they talk it out. Both just want Rob to be healthy and happy."

The couple are still working hard on their relationship and Kris recently admitted their relationship is still a "work in progress".

Speaking about the pair - who got engaged after four months of dating - she explained: "You know, I think that, too, is a work in progress and they have good and bad days. It's a young relationship and they haven't known each other for that long."

Kim Kardashian West's priorities have changed

Kim Kardashian West has "re-prioritised everything" since being robbed at gunpoint in October last year.

The 'Keeping Up With The Kardashians' star has made some big changes since she was subjected to the terrifying ordeal last October.

A source said: "Kim's style has definitely turned more low key. During her time off, she wore less makeup, more comfortable clothing and spent less time on her hair, and that worked for her. This is overall how she feels. She's not feeling like she wants to be as made up as she used to be. She's re-prioritised everything ... She's spending more time with the kids and she loved her time off with them.

"I know it's shocking to say Kim Kardashian is dressing for comfort. But when a life-or-death moment happens to you, followed by your husband going through something similar, you're not really that interested in anything else. She doesn't care about the smaller things in life."

And Kim's husband Kanye - who was hospitalised late last year for exhaustion and sleep deprivation - is doing "a lot better" too.

The source told Entertainment Tonight: "Kanye is doing a lot better. He stays to his schedule. He's staying busy but not taking on new projects just yet. He has regular checkups still with doctors. The family and Kim are trying to do everything they can to assure he doesn't have another episode.

"He's been great. He's been very quiet - no Twitter rants or crazy Trump talk. He's aware that breaking this good streak is something he could be susceptible to, so he is staying away from the biggest triggers, like no sleep and stress. That's what brought him to that dark place at first. Eating right, sleep and exercise are his biggest priorities right now."

Kendall Jenner is 'obsessed' with diamond chokers

Kendall Jenner is "obsessed" with diamond chokers, although she has admitted her taste changes quickly and a trend she likes on day she may not like the next.


(Bang)

The 21-year-old 'Keeping Up With the Kardashians' star has admitted her taste changes so often, one day she will be following a trend and the next day she will never want to see it ever again, and although the star has admitted she is "over" fabric chokers, she has admitted she is still in love with tight necklaces made from metal chains or precious gems.

Speaking about her wardrobe choices on her website kendallj.com, she said: "It's so funny how trends come and go. One minute, I'll be super into something and then next day I feel like I never want to see it again! I know, I was wearing fabric chokers all the time - and it's not to say I don't still love them - but I'm over them right now.


(Instagram)

"Instead of fabric, I'm obsessed with chain or diamond chokers right now. Anything mixed materials is fun, too! I love layering them on and piling as much cool jewellery on as I can. It's a fun statement without being too much."

And the catwalk icon - who has modelled for recognised fashion houses including Victoria's Secret, Givenchy and Balmain - has admitted her favourite fabric at the moment is fur.

She explained: "Another trend I'm really into is fur. It makes all your outfits so much cooler and you can be super basic underneath. Plus, it's sooo cosy! Keep scrolling to shop the trends I'm loving now!"


(Instagram)

Meanwhile, the style muse has admitted she has had to work "harder" to break the fashion industry and to be taken "seriously", instead of being known solely because of the E! reality show she stars in with her family.

Speaking previously, she said: "I want to be taken seriously. I had to work even harder to get where I wanted because people didn't take me seriously as a model. Because of the TV show. Because of the Kardashian name.

"I've become a different person."

Kylie Jenner reveals new The Valentine's Collection for Kylie Cosmetics

Kylie Jenner is set to launch The Valentines Collection to Kylie Cosmetics next week in time for Valentine's Day.

The 19-year-old 'Keeping Up With the Kardashians' star - who opened her beauty empire last year -has continued to expand her make-up brand and has taken to social media to reveal the new products she will be launching on her e-store on February 2, just in time for Valentine's Day on February 14.

Alongside an image of the lip kit package with red glitter lips emblazoned on the front, which the brunette beauty shared on her Instagram account, she wrote: "Just revealed The Valentines Collection on my Snapchat this is my favorite collection so far! Hope you guys LOVE IT launching February 2nd ... 3pm pst @kyliecosmetics (sic)."

The cosmetics company has also broadcasted the news on their photo-sharing site.

Alongside the same image, they wrote: " THE VALENTINES COLLECTION ... coming FEBRUARY 2nd .. 3pm pst.(sic)."

And Kylie Cosmetics have teased the upcoming capsule will include the rouge shade, but also a box set of four mini lip products.

They captioned an upload of the forthcoming items: "Red Minis?! Yes Please ... #ValentinesCollection #February2nd (sic)."

The teen entrepreneur's line will see the addition of new matte lip products in shades Apricot, High Maintenance and Head Over Heels, Kiss Me and SweetHeart mini make-up sets that feature the new shades and existing liquid lipsticks Posie K, Mary Jo K and Maliboo.

Kylie will also launch a glitter eyeshadow palette, matte eye powders, a mirror and her first ever blusher, which will have small love hearts and engraved in the products.

And Kylie - who is currently dating 'Rack City' rapper Tyga, who has four-year-old son King Cairo with his former partner Blac Chyna - has admitted she is "so happy" her fans "love" the look of her new creations.

She tweeted: "Makes me so happy you guys love the Valentines Collection (sic)."

Khloe Kardashian weight loss 'stemmed from divorce'

Khloe Kardashian has revealed that her weight loss started after her divorce from Lamar Odom in 2013.

The 'Revenge Body' star - who is now dating Tristan Thompson - has opened about what was the catalyst for her drastic body transformation, and admits that it "stemmed from [her] divorce" from the 37-year-old basketball player.

In an interview with Us Weekly magazine, Khloe - who filed for divorce from Lamar in 2013 - admitted: "I really needed an outlet mentally.

"I started working out, and the clarity I received from that was so needed, and it was so therapeutic, and as a by-product I started losing weight."

Then 32-year-old reality star insists that her new body is not just to "prove a point" and that she hopes to maintain her new physique.

She added: "I was like, 'Oh, OK, I see a little definition somewhere. Let me try keep this up.

"Then I got a trainer, and a few months later, a nutritionist.

"My journey has been a long one, but it's a lifestyle change.

"I'm not trying to lose 30 pounds in 30 days to prove a point.


Pics: Instagram

"I want this to be for the rest of my life."

The blonde beauty shed an impressive 40lb, but is worried that she won't be able to keep up her tough regime forever.

A source recently said: "Khloe is starting to feel the pressure of keeping the weight off.

"She's never had to work this hard in her life. She's really proud of what she's achieved but she's just not sure she can sustain that level of fitness.

"The idea of getting up and doing over 100 stomach crunches every morning for the rest of her life makes her feel physically ill.

"She's always had huge body hang ups and promised herself she'd get rid of the 'chubby' label.

"Getting in shape was her ultimate revenge on the people who dissed her - but where does she go from here? She wants her life back and is questioning if being thin is worth it."

Kim Kardashian West to launch Kimoji stores

Kim Kardashian West has reportedly submitted paperwork to open a chain of Kimoji stores.

The 'Keeping Up With the Kardashians' star's company have filed documents to expand her famous graphic-based brand to include retail outlets which would sell apparel, stickers, make-up bags, jewellery, accessories and other items.

Sources told TMZ plans are currently in the early stages but it is likely the 36-year-old beauty will follow in the footsteps of her husband Kanye West and half-sister Kylie Jenner and launch a global range of pop-up shops.

At present, the Kimoji brand is currently only available online.

In December, the brunette beauty - who has kids North, three, and Saint, 13 months, with Kanye - broke her social media hiatus to upload a raunchy twerking video to promote the new Kimoji merchandise range.

Included in the range is a selection of underwear pieces with 'savage' written on the waistband, FML fur slides, T-shirts, socks, phone accessories, and air fresheners to name but a few of the items available, priced from $6 to $65 (£4-£52).

The video of an underwear clad Kim was uploaded to her verified Kimoji merchandise Instagram account and marked the first time the star has been seen on social media since she was robbed at gunpoint in Paris in October.

Since the robbery, Kim has been adopting and embracing a more "humble" lifestyle.

A source said recently: "Kim is back to work and filming 'Keeping Up With The Kardashians'. The new year has brought with it many challenges, but she has a new attitude and a fresh approach to how she is handling her career. Gone are the days of flashy bling, now it's about a more humble lifestyle."

Kanye West wasn't invited to perform at Donald Trump's inauguration

Kanye West was not invited to perform at the "traditionally American" celebrations for new US President Donald Trump, despite being a friend of his.

The 'Famous' rapper "considers himself a friend" of the President-elect, but despite organisers seemingly having trouble enlisting high-profile entertainment for the celebrations as the former 'Apprentice' star takes office on Friday after a string of stars turned down requests to sing, it seems the star wasn't deemed an appropriate choice for the event.

Tom Barrack, the chair of the Presidential Inaugural Committee, told CNN of Kanye: "We haven't asked him. He considers himself a friend of the President-elect, but it's not the venue. The venue we have for entertainment is filled out, it's perfect, it's going to be typically and traditionally American, and Kanye is a great guy but we just haven't asked him to perform. We move on with our agenda."

One star who will be in attendance at the inauguration will be Caitlyn Jenner - who was previously married to Kris Jenner, the mother of Kanye's wife Kim Kardashian West - and she has already left Los Angeles for Washington, D.C..

However, her publicist has slammed speculation the 'I Am Cait' star will dance with the new president at the inaugural ball on Friday.

The representative told People magazine: "This is a ridiculous story.

"There have been no discussions about who Caitlyn will or won't dance with, or if she will dance at all. I can't deal in hypotheticals and have no idea what any Trump aids hope happens.

"Of course, real question is if they danced, who would lead?"

It had been claimed that Caitlyn - who was previously known as Bruce - viewed the event as an "opportunity to represent and defend the LGBTQ community within the party."

The 67-year-old reality star has been invited by the American Unity Fund, a conservative charitable organisation which is

dedicated to advancing the cause of freedom and equal opportunity for LGBTQ Americans.

The source said: "Caitlyn sees this as a chance to bring attention to LGBTQ causes and she is committed to protecting human rights no matter the political party in power.

"She has no problem speaking out if Republicans fail to protect equal rights."

Kim Kardashian West's ring has been 'recut and sold off'

Police believe there is a high chance that Kim Kardashian West's £3.5million diamond engagement ring - which was stolen in Paris - was recut before being sold off.

The 'Keeping Up With The Kardashians' star had her £3.5million diamond engagement ring taken when she was robbed at gunpoint last October and it is thought the piece of jewellery would have now been "recut and sold off".

A source told France's BFM TV that Kim "is unlikely to get the jewellery back".

Whilst Jerome Guillochon, president of a French jewellers federation, added: "They separate the stone from the metal. On one hand, they will melt the metal, and on the other, they will usually cut the stones completely, in order to remove all markings or modify the shape. Because if there is a typical shape in exceptional jewellery, if there is a ring in the shape of a cushion, they can perhaps cut it in circles."

Without alteration, the 36-year-old television personality's ring - which was a gift from her husband Kanye West - would have been easily recognised as it had the word 'Adidas' carved into it.

And Guillochon believes the ring would have been altered using lasers before it was sold on the black market in Antwerp, Belgium.

Two of those arrested - Aomar Ait Khedache and Didier Dubreucq - were reportedly living in the city since October and detectives believe they moved there so they could get rid of the jewellery as soon as possible.

A source previously revealed: "Antwerp is a town where jewellery can be sold on with no questions asked. The men know the industry inside out, and may well know exactly where the ring went."

And Kim was said to be "deeply relieved" after a number of people were arrested in connection with the robbery.

A source said: "Kim is deeply relieved to know that this horrible ordeal will all come to an end soon."

Kim Kardashian West's Ocean's Eight cameo involves a jewellery heist

Reality TV star Kim Kardashian West's cameo appearance in 'Ocean's Eight' involves a jewellery heist.

The 36-year-old reality TV star was left traumatised after she was robbed at gunpoint in Paris in October last year - but that hasn't stopped Kim from featuring in the upcoming star-studded movie, which has been shooting at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.

A source explained to the New York Post newspaper: "We were surprised Kim showed up for filming. She had seemed totally traumatised by her Paris robbery. But then she'll still appear in a movie that glamorises a jewellery heist."

The main cast of 'Ocean's Eight' includes the likes of Sandra Bullock, Cate Blanchett, Rihanna, Anne Hathaway and Mindy Kaling, and it remains unclear what role Kim will play in the film.

However, she is one of a number of high-profile celebrities poised to make a cameo appearance in the movie, with the likes of Zayn Malik, Hailey Baldwin, Maria Sharapova, Olivia Munn and Tyga also expected to feature in 'Ocean's Eight'.

This comes shortly after it was reported Kim was "nervous" about her recent trip to Dubai.

The 'Keeping Up With The Kardashians' star travelled to the city in the United Arab Emirates with Scott Disick earlier this month for her first official engagement since she was robbed in Paris.

And despite her initial feelings of anxiety, Kim - who has North, three, and Saint, 13 months, with her husband Kanye West - had a great time.

A source said: "Her Dubai trip has been great. It's a work trip, but she has been sightseeing a bit as well.

"She was nervous before she left, but says it was the right decision. She misses her kids, but had a great weekend. She was excited to spend time with her fans."

Kourtney Kardashian runs into ex Justin Bieber

Kourtney Kardashian and her former flame Justin Bieber had an awkward reunion at a club over the weekend.

The 'Keeping Up With The Kardashians' star and the 'Love Yourself' hitmaker - who were rumoured to have had a brief fling in August 2015 - managed to cross paths at the Peppermint Club in West Hollywood on Saturday night.

Justin was at the club for a couple of hours with a group of pals including One Direction's Liam Payne whilst Kourtney arrived later and only stayed for around 15 minutes.

Separately, they then both moved onto the popular Delilah until two in the morning.

A source told Us Weekly magazine: "They were just there as friends, with friends and and it was not romantic."

It comes soon after Kourtney, 37, admitted she has "trust issues".

Taking to social media, she simply wrote: "I've got trust issues," but did not elaborate further on who or what it was about.

However, it is thought it could specifically relate to her former partner Scott Disick - with whom she shares Mason, seven, Penelope, four, and Reign, two - after they recently rekindled their relationship.


Pics: Getty Images

A source close to pair revealed: "Kourtney is doing her part. She has a lot of strong feelings for Scott and she is enjoying having him around. She sees how much happier their children are when he's around, so she is being patient with Scott and trying to be forgiving of his rocky past. Scott and Kourtney are having a lot of fun too. They are stronger and healthier as a couple than ever before ...

"They have been laughing a lot and enjoying each other's company. Kourtney and Scott have taken the kids to Aspen for some skiing and are continuing to get along great. Scott is not drinking at all and working really hard to be present for Kourtney during this family vacation."

No regrets for Kim Kardashian West's former bodyguard

Kim Kardashian West's former bodyguard Pascal Duvier says he does not have any regrets.

Pascal Duvier was with Kim on her ill-fated trip to Paris when the reality TV star was robbed at gunpoint in her hotel room and although Pascal missed the incident because he was protecting her sisters Kendall Jenner and Kourtney Kardashian at a nightclub, he insisted he doesn't regret any of his actions.

Speaking to Fairfax Media, he said: "I don't like to waste my time on thoughts about 'what if' or 'what could have been if...'. Many good and many bad things happen. Life is a chain reaction of decisions and actions you take, you can't choose only to change certain things. Every change affects everything."

It has been reported that Pascal no longer works for Kim and her husband Kanye West but he refused to either confirm or deny the claims.

He said: "This is a question that comes up often and to be honest it doesn't matter if I do or I don't [work for Kim and Kanye]... The client should be the one answering that question.

"[I am looking] forward to new challenges, offers and tours with existing and new clients."

After the incident, Kim is believed to have "ordered a complete overhauling" of her security.

A source said previously: "Kim's ordered a complete overhauling of security ... A team of security experts goes through her day-to-day life to assess potential threats and vulnerabilities.

"She's taking a driver and using all different cars to throw off people tracking her.

Kim recently returned to the spotlight after taking a few months off to get over her ordeal and last week 17 people were arrested in connection with the robbery.

10 of those people, including the alleged mastermind of the plot, have since been charged.
