The Apprentice’s Ryan-Mark Parsons and Lottie Lion have clashed again (Picture: BBC)
The Apprentice’s Lottie Lion and Ryan-Mark Parsons have locked horns once again, this time over profiting from selfies and videos.
The beef kicked off when Lottie uploaded a photo to her Instagram story, telling her fans that she would never ask for cash for posing for a picture with her fans, a seeming dig at her former co-star.
Ryan-Mark has recently started taking requests for personalised video messages and signed photographs and has been charging customers £10 to £15 a pop for the pleasure.
Addressing whether she’d ever follow suit, Lottie wrote to her followers: ‘I have been asked if I charge for signed photographs and videos, the answer is NO.
‘I would never charge my followers who support me for something as simple and cheap, and see it as a way to say thank you to you all (sic).’
She continued: ‘I think it is sad to profit off those who encourage you on a daily basis.
Lottie Lion said it was ‘sad’ to charge fans for photos (Picture: Instagram)
‘If you have asked me for a video or photo, know that you have been placed in a list and every week I pick three people at random and then send them out.
‘Let us share the love and appreciation rather than charge for it.’
‘Let us remind ourselves that “candidates” on The Apprentice are supposed to be business people, not earning money from those who watch it.’
Ryan-Mark hit out at Lottie’s post and shared an exchange they’d had (Picture: Twitter)
However, Ryan-Mark has since hit back at Lottie’s message and even shared a Twitter exchange he had with her, in which she claims to have charged a fan ‘£20 per signed photo.’
Sharing a screengrab of the supposed conversation, he wrote: ‘In response to Lottie Lion’s false claims on Instagram. Here is the proof that she is a pathological liar.’
This is not the first time the pair have fallen out publicly (Picture: BBC)
This isn’t the first time Ryan-Mark and Lottie have clashed.
Earlier this month, the pair fell out after they rowed on Twitter.
The argument was sparked after Ryan-Mark was spotted tucking into his McDonald’s meal with a knife and fork – and social media naturally went into meltdown about it, receiving positive, negative and hilarious comments.
Lottie reacted with a negative remark about Ryan-Mark by retweeting it, which did not go down well with her former pal.
The tweet was initially written by former The Apprentice winner Mark E Wright who made a dig at Ryan-Mark claiming he only went on the BBC show for fame.
The post read: ‘This is the most cringe thing I’ve ever seen in my whole life… could you scream “I just went on the telly to be famous” any louder. Poor form. These people give the real Apprentice candidates a bad name. I mean the ones that actually run businesses!’
Womenswear consultant Ryan-Mark was quick to respond with a remark himself, he tweeted: ‘Ah @LottieLion1 gets annoyed when she isn’t a story.
‘If she isn’t making a headline for racist accusations, she likes to demonize others. Shameful human #TheApprentice.’
Will these two ever make up?
The Apprentice is available for catch-up on BBC iPlayer.

James May will be travelling on his own in his new show for Amazon Prime (Picture: Amazon)
James May is set to jet off on his own for his upcoming Amazon Prime show, awkwardly immersing himself in a different culture for our entertainment. It will be a slower pace of programme for the host, who recently confessed that he doesn’t know how long his body will let him carry on doing The Grand Tour.
‘I’m in the second half of my fifties now and in all honesty, I’m slightly falling apart,’ the 57-year-old told The Sun.
‘I’m developing nervous disorders and aches and I don’t think I’ll do this much longer because I don’t want to fall apart in public.
‘It would just be a bit undignified and I don’t think people want to see it.’
James, 56, added that he would rather leave the audience wanting more than outstay his welcome.
‘There’s almost certainly more of it behind us than in front of us. How long do you want to see old blokes?’ he continued.
‘Jeremy’s possibly even more decrepit than me.’
He might instead decide to focus on his travel series Our Man In…which will kick off with a trip to Japan.
What is James May’s solo Amazon Prime show Our Man In Japan?
James got to travel to the Far East back in March to film for the series, which will chuck him in at the deep end in various countries around the globe.
He also samples some culinary delights and travels across Japan on a bike, car, plane, train and go-kart.
‘Japan is the most amazing place I’ve ever visited,’ James enthused ahead of his journey.
James jetted off to the Far East earlier this year (Picture: Amazon Prime)
‘Everything about it is a surprise: a boiled sweet, a bullet train, an unexpected ancient temple, and the challenge of eating a single edamame bean with chopsticks.’
‘It’s a class A stimulant for all the senses, and an etiquette minefield for the unwary,’ he added.
‘I intend to immerse myself in it completely, in the pursuit of enlightenment and life balance. And I bet the noodles will be fantastic.’
Is there a trailer I can watch?
There sure is!
In the recently released first look trailer, poor James attempts to say ‘sensei’ which means teacher in Japanese. However he ends up pronouncing it wrong and actually says ‘deodorant’.
May ‘made history’ filming Our Man in Japan when, according to his guide, he became the first Brit to have the honour of carrying the float.
Only, that honour soon goes pear-shaped when the presenter suffers an injury and struggles to escape the charge with an actual tonne of penis on his tired shoulders. You could say he was properly shafted.
When can I watch Our Man In Japan?
The full series of James May: Our Man In Japan will be available to watch on Friday 3 January on Amazon Prime Video.
That’s too long to wait. I need my James May fix now!
Luckily for you the first episode of The Grand Tour season four, The Grand Tour Presents…Seamen, is available to stream on Amazon Prime Video now.

Are Gigi and Zayn back on? (Picture: Scott Kirkland/REX)
Gigi Hadid has sparked rumours she’s dating Zayn Malik again by posting photos of her cooking his mother’s curry recipe.
And it sounds like a potential recipe for love to us.
The 24-year-old American supermodel took to Instagram last night to share the pics, as well as a cheeky hint she may be wining and dining with her former One Direction boyfriend.
‘Sunday in the kitchen,’ she wrote on a photo of a multitude of ingredients. ‘About to marinate the chicken for one of my favourites!!!’
She then tagged Zayn’s mum Trisha and said: ‘@mammamalik’s chicken curry pasta salad.’
As a little note at the bottom of the photo, she added: ‘Hopefully she’ll share the recipe with the world one day.’
Gigi then uploaded another photo of some chopped up vegetables, including tomato, cucumber, corn, onion and peppers.
Looks like she’s hoping to really *spice* up her life.

In case you’re not up to date with the happenings of Zigi (a mix of Zayn and Gigi), here’s the low-down.
The pair started dating in November 2015 and after a couple of hurdles along the way, officially split up in March 2018.
‘They went through a phase where they took time apart and weren’t communicating at all, but they have been in touch recently,’ a source told E! Online. ‘She is supportive of him.
‘They chat here and there but it’s been casual.’
Zayn stayed true to form and remained tight-lipped about whether or not he ate any of his mum’s curry chicken recipe courtesy of his ex.

But something tells us Zayn’s mother approves of the famous couple getting back together.
Taking to her own Instagram story, she reposted Gigi’s photo of her recipe as soon as she was tagged in it.
The former One Direction member’s mum then shared an old video of Gigi cooking and sister Bella asking: ‘What’s your favourite restaurant in the world?’
She responded: ‘My boyfriend’s mum’s house.’
Perhaps love is on the menu for Gigi and Zayn in 2020!

Kevin got candid about feeling like a failure (Pictures: Getty Images/AP)
Kevin Feige, president of Marvel Studios, may have produced some of the world’s most widely successful movies.
But he revealed he still feels like he’s failing at work some days – especially when a huge star turns down a part in one of his films.
The man behind movies like Ant-Man and Avengers: Endgame admitted: ‘It happened the other day, with an actor.
‘There’s an actor we want for something, they come in, you give a big pitch and you can sort of tell they’re not into it. [You think] “I guess I’m a failure, I’ll show them, we’ll cast somebody even better.”’
Anyone else dying to know who turned down a Marvel movie?!

Kevin also has some sound advice for anyone dealing with rejection. Put simply: ‘Don’t stew in it.’
Speaking at a Q&A at New York Film Academy, Kevin explained: ‘It’s just part of it and don’t linger on them, is what I usually try to do, don’t think too much about it, don’t stew in it, move on quickly.’
Kevin and his… babies? (Picture: Rex)
Wise words!
Speaking about his earlier years in the movie industry, Kevin also said: ‘I learned that just by sort of ingratiating yourself with the filmmakers and having them realise I was just excited to be there, I was just excited to be near a movie and near a group of people making a movie, so I got to learn what to do, what not to do.
‘So, by the time we became our own studio and got our own financing to make Iron Man, we got to use everything I learned, good and bad, to try to focus our own vision on what we wanted.’
And the rest is history!

Avengers’ Lexi Rabe has proven she’s Tony Stark’s daughter through and through by taking ‘Uncle Cap’s’ shield for a sledding adventure.
Iconic.
The 7-year-old actress, who starred as Morgan Stark in Avengers: Endgame alongside Robert Downey Jr, shared a video of herself wrapped up against the cold as she sledded backwards down a hill.
A power move if ever we saw one (Picture: Instagram/Lexi_Rabe)
At the end of the clip, she reveals she took Captain America’s shield for a spin, telling everyone to ‘Shhhh’ as she runs back up the hill.
That’s definitely one use for it we never knew we needed.
‘#DontTellMyDad #UncleCap’sShield #sledding,’ she captioned the video.
Effectively, Reddit user u/chill_bishop believes this theory based on the fact the actress who plays Meredith Quill (Laura Haddock), Peter’s mum, in Guardians Of The Galaxy had a part in The First Avenger, ‘where it’s implied something happens with her and Cap’.
She starred as Morgan Stark in the movie (Picture: Marvel)
In fact, she’s just a fan of Cap who shared a little moment with the hero. Still, that doesn’t stop them wondering if she was in fact also Meredith’s mother in the 2011 film and we just didn’t know it yet.
‘Fast forward to GOTG2 where Peter is the only offspring of [father in the film] Ego’s millions of kids to have the inner light. Plus timeline matches up pretty perfectly,’ they continued this week, of Peter’s special origin.
They added: ‘More evidence is that if Peter is just a normal guy, how come he has the inner light and none of the other MILLIONS of Ego’s kids didn’t? Almost NOTHING is done in movies by accident, why would they cast that same woman for those two parts?’
When it comes to the timeline, they try to make it work by saying: ‘Gma has Meredith in the mid 40s, Peter was a young boy in the late 70s early 80s, actress was 30-31 when filming GOTG2 in the scenes when she meets Ego.’
We’re so done.

Love Island star Laura Anderson says she hasn’t had facial surgery, she’s just had a face peel (Picture: lauraanderson1x METROGRAB)
Love Island star Laura Anderson has hit back at people claiming she looks ‘unrecognisable’ from facial surgery and chalked it all down to a face peel.
Fans took to the comments section of a recent Instagram picture to remark on the 2018 reality TV contestant’s face.
One fan noted: ‘You look so different,’ while another pointed out: ‘You are complete[ly] unrecognisable to Love Island, Laura.’
Fans began suggesting Laura had undergone various fillers and surgeries, including her lips, cheeks and nose.
Beginning to notice a trend in the comments, she decided to hit back.
‘Guys please stop commenting on my face,’ the 30-year-old Scottish star pleaded. ‘I got a face peel which is all I’ve been talking about on my story.’

Explaining the whole situation, she added: ‘My face swelled up, a girl still has to work.
‘I’ve not got surgery or whatever else people have been messaging me. You can see from my story today it’s back to normal.
‘Let’s talk about something else.’
Fans began rushing to the young star’s defence, writing messages of support.
One responded: ‘You shouldn’t even have to explain yourself darling! What ever you decide to do with YOUR face/body should be your decision and people shouldn’t be commenting in a negative way at all!’
While another remarked: ‘Haters gonna hate, you look lush.’

The former air hostess revealed the effect her first boob job and subsequent breast reduction have had on her body.
She wrote: ‘Recently I decided to undergo a breast reduction. I had my first breast augmentation at 18 (12 years ago).
‘After this length of time its normal to consider a replacement. I just want to make clear that even though at 18 years old I was very mature for my age (more mentally) I really had no idea who I was or what I was doing to my body.
‘Here’s what they don’t tell you, every surgery has repercussions years down the line so this quick fix mentality which we all suffer from from time to time will most definitely come back to bite you in the a**.
‘It’s not like buying a pair of jeans that don’t fit so you just take them back. There’s no refunds when it comes to interfering with our bodies.’
Wise words.

It’s only a little creepy (Picture: Getty; @katebeckinsale/Instagram)
Kate Beckinsale was left mortified when she realised the hilarious present she got her daughter backfired and ended up making her look rather creepy.
The actress purchased a huge pillow in the shape of her daughter Lily Sheen’s boyfriend David Schechter as a gift for Lily, but a late delivery meant she was stuck chilling with it on her own.
Feeling a tad uncomfortable that she was lying next to Lily’s boyfriend’s face, the 46-year-old shared her horror with her daughter and her boyfriend David Schechter over face time before posting it to Instagram.
She wrote: ‘So.. getting a pillow made in the shape of your daughter’s boyfriend’s head for when she misses him when she comes home is CUTE.
‘It arriving the day after she leaves makes you a f***ing PSYCHO who is watching Showtime with a taxidermy of your daughter’s boyfriend’s head. Look for me on true crime shows shortly.’
Big yikes.
The fact that she chose to make the pillow version of his head that huge is killing us.
Not to scale (Picture: @katebeckinsale/Instagram)
She probably doesn’t need the pillow anymore (Picture: @lily_sheen/Instagram)
Why is he blown up like that? Why?
At least Lily found it funny as she stared at the strange gift in fits of laughter.
One fan even posted what we were all thinking: ‘Good god this is so much bigger than I expected.’
Lily uploaded a cute snap of her and her beau David onto Instagram and Kate couldn’t help but leave her seal of approval.
She commented: ‘I stan this so hard you pair of a**holes’ underneath the post that Lily captioned: ‘Me and my boyfriend David on Saturday night.’
The snap saw 20-year-old Lily and her beau cosy up for a chilled night in together and all we can imagine is Kate in the background cheering.
Lily is Kate’s only child that she shares with former partner Michael Sheen.
The two did not marry and Kate never knew why the Good Omens actor never proposed.

Mollie King rose to fame back in 2008 as a member of The Saturdays (Picture: WireImage)
Mollie King has opened up about her struggle with dyslexia.
The former Saturdays band member also discussed how her condition plays out in her job as a BBC Radio 1 DJ.
Dyslexia is a term for a reading disorders relating to problems interpreting words, letters, sounds and symbols.
‘I do find reading really hard because I’m dyslexic,’ Mollie said in an interview.
‘So if I’m reading out a text on air, I might slip up and read a word slightly wrong, then that does sit with me for a bit.’
However, speaking to The Sun, the star was keen to stress that dyslexia shouldn’t hold any person back from having ambitions.

‘It’s all about brushing it off and just moving on,’ she said.
‘Especially with the show being live.’
‘You can’t have it play on your mind throughout the rest of the show,’ she added.
‘Doing things live has made me better at just brushing things off and ploughing on, because I think the listeners don’t mind hearing a mistake every now and then — it proves I’m human.’

Good point!
Mollie – who reached the semi final on Strictly Come Dancing in 2017 – co-hosts on the radio station with Matt Edmondson.

She joined Radio 1 last year, following in the presenting footsteps of bandmate Rochelle Humes, who has hosted on This Morning.
As part of the Saturdays – also comprised of Una Healy, Vanessa White and Frankie Bridge – Mollie scored hits such as My Heart Takes Over and Just Can’t Get Enough.
The girls ever scored a number one single in the UK with What About Us.
Where do the years go!

Joe and Bill were found by their uncle over the weekend (Picture: Channel 4)
It’s been revealed by a family member that My Big Fat Gypsy Wedding star Joe Smith, who died alongside his brother Billy on the weekend, had been given the all-clear following a cancer diagnosis.
The 32-year-old twin brothers, who appeared in the show’s third series alongside Paddy Doherty, were found on Saturday morning in a quiet country lane in Sevenoaks, Kent. A cause of death is yet to be confirmed but it’s believed they died by suicide.
A family member said Joe was given the all-cear (Picture: Channel 4)
After revealing she was told he had been given the all-clear following the diagnosis, she questioned whether that was true following their deaths.
However, now another family member has claimed to The Sun that they found a letter that confirmed Joe no longer had cancer.
She told the website: ‘He was waiting for a letter to see if it had come back or if he had the all-clear. They told the family it was all clear but they thought maybe he was lying to not hurt them.
‘They have since found the letter and he did have the all-clear.
‘No one can get their heads around it.’
According to the family member, they now have ‘questions that are never going to be answered’, calling it a ‘torment’.
Police say their deaths are not being treated as suspicious.
Paddy Doherty, who appeared with them on the TV show, posted a tribute on Facebook, saying ‘RIP boys’.
He uploaded a video saying: ‘Two good looking boys, God bless their souls… That’s a terrible, terrible tragedy…
‘There’s always worse than yourself… Pray for the boys’ family, the boys’ mother and father, help them be strong and get through this.
‘I’m very very sorry for your troubles. Anyone watching this please say a prayer for those left behind…
‘May God look after them… They are two angels… They’re in the kingdom of heaven walking on gold.’
Bill and Joe were part of the third series of the programme, when they were working as gardeners aged 24.
Adorably, another commented: ‘Am I the only one who thought of One Direction?’
We think not, hun!
Hailee was recently seen in the TV series Dickinson (Picture: Getty Images)
Hailee – whose last single, Afterlife was released in September – is perhaps best known as an actress. (At least so far).
Her movies include Pitch Perfect 2 and 3, The Edge of Seventeen, and True Grit, for which she earned an Academy Award nomination.
Hailee was once up for the role of Katniss in The Hunger Games (Picture: BACKGRID)
The star was even up for the role of Katniss Everdeen in the Hunger Games franchise at one point, before being pipped to the post by Jennifer Lawrence.
Speaking to The Independent earlier this year about being passed over for the iconic role, she said: ‘There are so many parts that I wanted or didn’t get…
‘But I think, weirdly, it’s the same feeling of having missed every high school dance and prom, and yet I somehow found my way to the Met Gala. I feel like I’ve made up for it.’
Well, that’s a good way of looking at it.

Emma Bunton and Victoria Beckham enjoyed a mini Spice Girls reunion (Picture; Getty/Rex)
Victoria Beckham and Emma Bunton proved friendship never ends as they reunited for a Christmas catch up over the weekend.
The Spice Girls icons were joined by their partners David Beckham and Jade Jones for the festive meet up at an undisclosed location.
This is enough to make any SG fan’s Christmas…
Both Victoria and Emma shared the same picture of the reunion, with VB writing: ‘The most perfect few days with @emmaleebunton and @jadejonesdmg and their beautiful babies x We love u all so much xxxx So much fun and so many kisses x VB x.’
Emma meanwhile wrote: ‘#family Brilliant couple of days with this lot! #headsupgang #festivefun #bellylaughs love you all so much.’

When news broke last year that Emma, Mel B, Melanie C and Geri Horner would be touring, VB put out a statement in which she insisted ‘the Spice Girls was a hugely important part of my life.’
‘I won’t be joining my girls on stage again,’ she explained. ‘But being in the Spice Girls was a hugely important part of my life and I wish them so much love and fun as they go back on tour next year.

That they did!
The Spice Girls are one of the biggest-selling music acts of all time, known for hits like Wannabe, Viva Forever and Who Do You Think You Are?

The two have been inseparable over the last few weeks (Picture: Madonna)
Madonna brought her children and new lover with her for an end-of-the-year vacation in the tropics despite legal battles with ex Guy Ritchie.
The pop sensation made us all envious as she shared images of her time swimming in crystal clear oceans surrounded by white sandy beaches.
Madonna’s new boyfriend Ahlamalik Williams, 25, tagged along on the 62-year-old’s family time so we’re assuming they all grew close over the last few months.
She was videoed treading water surrounded by Ahlamalik, son David, 14, and daughters Mercy, 13, Estere and Stelle, both seven.
The Isla Bonita singer captioned the video: ‘Family Water Therapy!…………… #fun #healing.’
She posted endless clips on her Instagram story, and for some reason wrote ‘#fun #healing’ on every single on of them.
Madonna posted a snap of daughter Lourdes sunbathing with the crystal clear ocean in front of her.

Every celebrity seems to be jetting off to the same tropical location and we’re stuck here in the office doing the exact opposite.
She posted more snaps of her twins Estere and Stelle enjoying their breakfast of waffles and syrup on the beach.
They had become embroiled in a legal clash just days before Christmas.
Director Guy, 51, has allegedly filed a motion in their divorce case asking for the ‘enforcement or execution of a judgement or order’.
Breakfast at the beach (Picture: Madonna)
Where we’d all love to be (Picture: Madonna)
The motion was put forward on 23 December, according to DailyMail.com.
The timing may suggest that the exes have disagreed over where some of Madonna’s six children should be spending the festive period.
Judge Deborah Kaplan has allegedly not made a decision yet on the case brought to Manhattan Supreme Court – which is said to deal with disputes over children.
Madonna and Guy have a son Rocco, 19, together who they clashed over many times before.
Metro.co.uk have contacted reps for comment.

Kim has had quite the decade (Picture: Getty Images)
It’s safe to say no one has had a more polarising decade than Kim Kardashian. From changing the landscape of celebrity to getting political while also suffering horrendous personal setbacks it’s been quite the journey.
The mother-of-four cemented herself as arguably the most famous person of 2010-2019 as she, along with her family, created an empire that has seen them earn billions.
Back at the turn of the decade, her reality show Keeping Up With The Kardashians was two years in, but she was just getting started.
Before long, though, Kim became the name on everyone’s lips, so to speak. And thus began a decade of the highest of highs teamed with Grand Canyon-level lows.
While she still faces the totally original claim to fame by others that she’s ‘famous for being famous’, the star has managed to turn a rather inglorious sex tape into a booming empire that we follow with increasing interest (admit it).
Kim at the turn of the decade, in 2010 (Picture: Getty Images)
She changed the landscape of celebrity and the internet. In fact, she once broke the internet (but more on that below).
You once might have argued her days in the sunny rays of megastardom were numbered, but it’s clear the woman is here to stay. So let’s raise a glass and toast to one hell of a decade for one Kimberley Kardashian West.
Please note: this is by no means a list of everything she’s done – good or bad – over the past 10 years. We are but one human.
High: Creates fortune from reality TV programme
When Keeping Up With The Kardashians premiered in 2007 you have to admit many thought it would be a blip in the TV radar – but 12 years on it continues to be one of the highest rating shows. With numerous spin-offs spawned (that we can count – including Life Of Kylie and Rob & Chyna) E! has created a darn TV empire from this family, fronted by Kim.
Oh how we love to see this family just lazing around (Picture: BACKGRID)
The show led to autobiographies and endorsement deals, producing gigs on TV shows and cameos in film for the star. By the end of 2010, the Kardashians had earned more than $6million (£4.5m), according to International Business Times.
Low: Has to hear she’s ‘famous for doing nothing’ several times a day
Talk about your admiration for the hustle of Kim and you’d no doubt have been met with ‘but what is she even famous for?’
While it pains us to admit it – does anyone need to be quote-unquote talented these days to be famous? Has social media taught you nothing?
The fact she’s managed to amass a reported $360m (£274m) fortune off the back of apparently not being talented is a talent in itself.
Moving on.
Low: Has infamous 72-day marriage to Kris Humphries
Before she settled down with Kanye West (more on that later), Kim married basketballer Kris Humphries on 20 August, 2011.
Kim and Kris were married for 72 days (Picture: Rex Features)
After Kris proposed (on the aforementioned reality TV show, of course) the pair tied the knot in a $10m(£7.6m) spectable, and a TV special. Naturally.
Evidently not everything lasts though and they were famously done 72 days later.
Their divorce was eventually finalised on 3 June, 2013, but more recently Kim admitted she knew it was destined to fail while she was celebrating their honeymoon.
‘At the time I just thought, “Holy sh*t, I’m 30-years-old – I better get this together. I better get married,”’ she said on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen. ‘I think a lot of girls do go through that, where they freak out thinking they’re getting old and all their friends are having kids.
‘So, it was more of that situation. But I knew on the honeymoon it wasn’t going to work out.’
Low: Records the monstrosity that is Jam (Turn It Up)
In March 2011 Kim tried her hand at the music industry and it…didn’t work.
After releasing the dance song Jam (Turn It Up) half of the proceeds from the sales of the song were donated to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital which is the best thing to come from this tune.
Shortly after the song’s release, Kim admitted she wasn’t going to be recording a full-length album any time soon before later saying she regretted recording the song at all.
High: Shacks up with Kanye West

Long before they started dating, Kim and Kanye were mates – with the rapper admitting he had a crush on the reality star after seeing her hanging out with former BFF Paris Hilton.
2012 was their year though when they finally made their debut as a couple.

Then Bound 2 happened. Another high, to be perfectly honest with you.
Anyway, the year after that, in 2014, the pair tied the knot in a fancy pants wedding in Florence at Fort di Belvedere, a 16th century fortress, and of course it was all aired on KUWTK.
High: Becomes style icon after Kanye throws out whole wardrobe
What with her new partner by her side who was well into farshun, Kim had her style makeover from Yeezy’s Ye.
‘I always thought I had really good style—until I met my husband and he told me that I had the worst style,’ Kim once recalled. ‘He was really nice about it and cleaned out my whole closet.’
Would Kanye approve of such an outfit? (Picture: Getty)

She wasn’t kidding about that bit, in scenes that were actually, no joke, released to the public, we saw Kanye throw out thousands and thousands of dollars worth of clothes because Kim wasn’t rocking the coolest threads on the block anymore.
After Kanye’s makeover Kim went from someone no designers wanted to touch to having the likes of Riccardo Tisci and Olivier Rousteing on speed dial.
She even went on to win the fashion influencer award at the 2018 CFDA Awards.
High: Breaks the internet in 2014 on the cover of Paper
The bum-tastic snap – taken by French photographer Jean-Paul Goude – saw the reality star wearing just a choker and gloves as she sheds her black evening gown to show off her oiled up butt. While there was a totally nude snap also released, for public consumption the more kid-friendly alternative featured a fully-clothed Kim pouring champagne into a glass balanced on her butt.
Alright, maybe not kid-friendly, but definitely safe for work.
High: Has children with said husband, Kanye West

After marrying in 2014, Kim and Kanye expanded their family, after already having North, six, they added Saint, four, Chicago, one, and seven-month-old Psalm to the brood.
So, in a horrendous turn of events, Kim was held at gunpoint in a horrendous robbery in Paris in 2016.
In October, while in the city for fashion week, the reality star and mogul was the victim of a terrifying heist which saw armed intruders tie her up as they made away with millions of dollars’ worth of jewellery.
In mid-2017 Kim followed her little sister Kylie into beauty, and announced her KKW Beauty range. It fast became famous for its contouring kits and collaborations, recently teaming up with model Winnie Harlow for some pretty epic pallettes to bring its worth up to a reported $100m (£76m).
Then this year she went and one-upped her business prowess again by releasing her shapewear line Skims (after a low of originally naming it Kimono and copping all the flack) to rave reviews.
High: Lands on the cover of Vogue, multiple times
In 2014 Kim landed on the cover of Vogue magazine alongside Kanye, sending shockwaves through the highbrow fashion world who had previously decided the woman just wasn’t good enough to grace the glossy.
The first cover was the most controversial (Picture: AP)
Since then she’s had seven other Vogue covers and headed around the international lot including India, Taiwan and Australia.
Low: Tests positive for Lupus antibodies and diagnosed with psoriatic arthritis
The Keeping Up With the Kardashians star had her medical worries aired on the TV series, after she was seen experiencing pain in her hands and arms. The doctor said it was actually psoriatic arthritis, a type arthritis caused by psoriasis, and not lupus. As a result, her joints are affected, causing them to become swollen, stiff and painful.
Such a low.
Speaking with ET Online about the issue, Kim explained: ‘When you do have a diagnosis — or you get tested for something and you get a result that you weren’t expecting — you definitely get in your head and for a second you kind of get this little depression of, like, “OK, what are all of the possibilities that can happen? What’s my life gonna look like?”
‘I really wanna be active for my kids, and so it triggers something.’
High: Begins law degree and continues to be driving force behind freeing imprisoned inmates
Planning to take the bar exam in 2022 Kim revealed that she began a four-year apprenticeship with a San Francisco law firm last year. Sharing her legal aspiration, Kim told Vogue: ‘The White House called me to advise to help change the system of clemency, and I’m sitting in the Roosevelt Room with, like, a judge who had sentenced criminals and a lot of really powerful people and I just sat there, like, Oh, s**t. I need to know more.’
She added: ‘I wanted to fight to fix it, and if I knew more, I could do more.’
It’s been a rollercoaster for the woman and we cannot wait to see what 2020 brings.
Seriously, it’s what we live for.

Because the end of the decade calls for a bit of glam whatever you’re doing, right?
Coleen, who previously set the internet alight after her explosive feud with Rebekah, was snapped doing the post-Christmas food shop, donning a white fur coat and Chanel handbag.

Her Waitrose trolley was loaded up as she got the goodies in ahead of celebrating New Year.
‘Over the moon to let you know our beautiful little girl has arrived,’ the footballer wrote on Saturday afternoon. ‘Becky and baby are both doing well and we are all totally in love with the newest member of our team.’
Rebekah broke her silence on Saturday night, as she told Hello: ‘I was so happy to be able to have Jamie at my side for the birth of our beautiful daughter.
‘I’m ecstatic that we have another little girl in our family.’

Coleen alleged that Rebekah had been selling stories to newspapers about her, after conducting an elaborate scheme to find out the culprit.
She made the accusations on Instagram, alleging that she set up a plot to expose her fellow WAG by only allowing one account access to fake stories she was sharing, and that account was Rebekah’s.
‘I have saved and screenshotted all the original stories which clearly show just one person has viewed them. It’s…… Rebekah Vardy’s account,’ she shared on 9 October.
Over the moon to let you know our beautiful little girl has arrived 💕 Becky and baby are both doing well and we are all totally in love with the newest member of our team.
According to an insider, the mum-of-four has ‘begrudgingly accepted’ that she may have made ‘a mistake’ going about things so publicly.
‘Even though she still feels she was justified in highlighting how she’s been trying to get to the bottom of who was leaking stories on her life, she also accepts that, in hindsight, she could have gone about it differently to save herself from all this controversy,’ a source said.
‘Coleen wants to speak to Rebekah directly in the coming weeks,’ they added to Closer.
The drama of it all.

You season two dropped on Netflix just a few days ago and fans have been left scratching their heads over one glaring plot hole.
In the new series, Joe Goldberg (played by Penn Badgley) rented out a storage locker in Los Angeles, where he installed his notorious library cage, which was originally seen in the first offering.
But eagle-eyed audiences noticed that the facility severely lacked in security, with no cameras to be seen.
Despite most storage lockers having CCTV in place, not to mention a manned front desk, the premises Joe used to hold his victims seemed rather lacking.
This meant that Joe could haul a number of innocent characters and throw them into his makeshift cell and keep them under lock and key for hours without alerting any security personnel or being caught on camera.
Is LA just extra chill when it comes to storage facilities?
Fans were annoyed by the lack of security cameras (Picture: Netflix)
Unsurprisingly, this irked viewers who took to Twitter to complain.
‘So we’re just gonna pretend there’s not a single security camera in the storage unit?’ asked one.
Echoing a similar sentiment, another added: ‘So the storage unit doesn’t have cameras? I am not understanding how all this chaos going on and no one seeing.’
You viewers are really taken aback by the lack of security cameras at the Los Angeles storage unit
So we're just gonna pretend there's not a single security camera in the storage unit? #You
do LA storage facilities not have extra security to get to your storage space? because i can never remember the code to get into mine and these people are just going in there willy-nilly. #You
I have one problem with #You second season so after that character is killed in the 9th episode how did nobody get caught? Are there no cameras outside of the storage units and why doesn’t anyone else use them? Also there was a discussion after so that body was just chilling
Plot holes aside, audiences have still soaked up the second season of You – and there’s good news, because it looks like another season is on the horizon.
When pressed about another chapter, Penn told Entertainment Tonight: ‘I literally know nothing about the third season. Technically I can’t… I mean, like, unofficially?’
Showrunner Sera Gamble said she ‘absolutely’ had plans for the show to continue too and told Cosmopolitan UK: ‘I will say that we have an idea for season three that is SO exciting that people talk about it in the [writer’s] room every day.
‘So my fingers are crossed… I’ll just say, I hope we get the chance to keep making the show.’
You is available to stream on Netflix.

‘Hey @bumble,’ she tweeted. ‘Is being me exclusionary?
‘Don’t shut me out of the hive.’
She even posted a screenshot of the message Bumble sent her, and sure enough, the reason given was that they ‘received several reports’ about her profile being fake.
And then it was Conor’s turn to share his dating disaster story.
Quote-tweeting Sharon, the 27-year-old British singer wrote: ‘This happened to me on both @Tinder and @hinge… any help guys?
‘The holiday period can be pretty lonely.’
Aw, poor Conor!
In response, one disgruntled fan tweeted: ‘Ah @Tinder I can’t believe, do you know how long it took me to find conor and he gives me a match? you guys solve this now hahha.’
Another fan, who clearly eagerly swiped right on the young star, also demanded answers from Tinder about their pending match: ‘So that’s why you didn’t match me on Tinder yet’.
While another fan simply tweeted: ‘I mean I’d be your girlfriend for the holiday period.’
Earlier this month, Conor opened up about his love life… or lack thereof.
He told The Sun: ‘As of right now, there’s definitely not a who, but the passion in my life is creating things, like music or videos.’
Speaking about the last time he had sex, Conor added: ‘Too long since the last time. Sometimes there will be bursts of it and sometimes there’s a drought. Single life.
Well, we hope Tinder and Hinge reinstate your dating profiles soon so there can be plenty of ‘bursts’.
Metro.co.uk has contacted Tinder and Hinge for comment.

Devan was allegedly charged following an incident that happened at a 7-Eleven. In December 2018, the former child star and a friend were at the convenience store in Los Angeles when they got into an argument with a transient.
When Devan and the unidentified friend returned to their car, the transient reportedly kicked the vehicle as the pair were pulling away. He then allegedly drove towards the transient and accelerated multiple times before driving onto the curb and knocking down the transient.
After his plea deal, the actor –who is best known for appearing in the Disney Channel’s Mighty Med – took to Instagram Stories on Sunday to share his account of what had happened.

According to him, the transient was armed with a knife and ‘methed-out’.
‘Did I try to murder somebody? No I have PTSD and this dude that attacked me and my friend and tried to kill us and had a knife and he was on meth,’ he said. ‘I tried to run him over in my car.’
He added the man ‘was super methed-out’ and he was kicking his car to the extent ‘that it was started to get dented’.
‘So of course me, I’m going to use my f*cking car to try and stop the situation,’ Devan continued. ‘What do you want me to do? Yes I should have ran away but when you’re in that moment and the adrenaline’s pumping and you’re in fight or flight and your brains in fight mode.
‘I’m sorry, it’s called PTSD people.’
According to TMZ, law enforcement sources claim Devan plead no contest to one count of attempted murder in April. However, one count of assault with a deadly weapon was reportedly thrown out.
Per the terms of the deal, Devan was sentenced to five years probation, 120 hours of volunteer work at a homeless shelter and 30 days with Caltrans – the California Department of Transportation.

And don’t worry, he’ll wait for you to come up with some ideas…
The 72-year-old Terminator actor and former Governor of California took to social media to upload the photo with his buddy, Clint.
Arnie wrote in the caption to a photo of him skiing alongside 89-year-old American actor Clint: ‘Name a more iconic duo. I’ll wait’ (he also used a skier emoji)
Speaking of duos, Arnie recently hung out (and went for a bike ride!) with climate activist Greta Thunberg.
He told his social media followers: ‘It was fantastic to see my friend and one of my heroes @gretathunberg last week and go on a bike ride around Santa Monica together and I was so pumped to introduce her to my daughter Christina.
The movie reportedly shows Atlanta Journal-Constitution reporter Kathy Scruggs (played by Olivia Wilde) trading sex in exchange for a tip on a story.
AJC editor-in-chief Kevin G Riley questioned the truth behind the storyline, writing: ‘There is no evidence that this ever happened, and if the film portrays this, it’s offensive and deeply troubling in the #MeToo era.’

The stars insisted it wasn’t a secret as people just expected a ‘grand announcement’ when they weren’t even fussed about it.
Boy, oh, boy are we glad that we finally do know.
Speaking to JD’s In The Dufflebag podcast, 26-year-old Jess explained: ‘It wasn’t so much of a secret, people made more out of it.’
Meanwhile, Dom, 28, added: ‘I think it was because they were expecting some kind of grand announcement when he was born, what his name was and stuff and I think we just weren’t really fussed.’
One down, one to go considering we still don’t know the name of the baby.
However, they explained that they haven’t told the public as they wanted to remain in their ‘newborn bubble’ and keep it between them and their loved ones.

Jess and Dom shared the news of their baby at the beginning of October and have been very good at keeping their baby away from the public ever since.
We don’t blame them, we just want to see his cute little face.
The most we got was when Jess posted an adorable snap of her and the little one sitting in bed wearing matching pajamas.
They both rocked white and grey striped onesies and looked like the ultimate twin team.
At least in this snap, we got to see the side of his face, and he looks just like his gorgeous parents already.
Jess and Dom married in October 2018 in an intimate ceremony in Mykonos, Greece, after meeting on Love Island the year before.

James Norton stars as Dr Stephen Ward in The Trials of Christine Keeler (Picture: BBC/ Getty)
Dr Stephen Ward was London’s most peculiar enigma as his tragedy has been dug up for BBC One’s The Trial of Christine Keeler, with James Norton playing the promiscuous pimp. But how did the real Stephen Ward die and when?
In scenes yet to unfold in the six-part drama, Christine single-handedly brought down the British government by sleeping with both sides of the Cold War – War Secretary John Profumo and Soviet naval attaché Captain Yevgeny Mikhailovich Ivanov, sparking an international security inquiry.
Stephen was subsequently arrested after being charged with making a profit from immoral earnings – Christine’s immoral earnings to be precise.
What was Stephen Ward’s cause of death?

Shortly before he was due to be sentenced in July 1963, Stephen took an overdose of sleeping pills and died three days later at the age of 50.
James assured Metro.co.uk, The Trial of Christine Keeler will address the osteopath’s death ‘sensitively’.
‘They’ve done it very beautifully,’ he told us. ‘If I was a member of Stephen’s family, I’d be very pleased with how they’ve handled [his death]. It’s in no way gratuitous or sensationalist, it was just very honest and in his way – yes, he was an exhibitionist but he was also a very private man.’
While Stephen will never know his life was being told to millions on the BBC over 50 years after he died, Christine was informed The Trials of Christine Keeler had been given the green light shortly before she passed away in 2017 and she had one request.
‘Her attitude was one of resignation,’ admitted producer Rebecca Ferguson.
The Trial of Christine Keeler starts tonight at 9pm on BBC One.
