Kim Kardashian will be the only one with the keys to her and Kanye West‘s mansion in Hidden Hills, which is valued at $60 million.
TMZ reports that Kardashian filed paperwork on Tuesday to obtain sole ownership of the property, effectively dispelling rumors that she and Ye have reconciled following her Saturday Night Live hosting debut. It’s reported that the two agreed on a buyout price and that their negotiation was “extremely cordial.”
According to the legal documents, Kardashian and her four children have resided in the sprawling California estate since February, when the former couple first filed for divorce.
Kardashian and the Donda rapper first purchased the home in 2014 for a cool $20 million before extensively renovating it. When the remodeling was complete, the pair then purchased the neighboring 1.5 acre property in 2019 for an additional $3 million — bringing their estate’s total lot size to eight acres.
The news comes shortly after Kanye listed his 7,000-acre ranch in Wyoming for sale, which he retreated to when rumors first surfaced that he and Kim were having marital problems. Ye is asking for $11 million for that property.
(NOTE LANGUAGE) It’s been five years since Dwayne Johnson sparked reports of a feud with Vin Diesel and, in a new interview, Johnson reflects on his now-infamous remarks.
While filming The Fate of the Furious in 2016, the actor took to Instagram and slammed his male co-stars who fail to “conduct themselves as stand-up men and true professionals” and dubbed them “candya****.”
Though he deleted the post, the Jungle Cruise star told Variety he doesn’t regret expressing himself.
“I meant what I said,” he shared. “I mean what I say when I say it. But to express it publicly was not the right thing to do.”
“It wasn’t my best day… I shouldn’t have shared that,” Johnson continued. “Because at the end of the day, that goes against my DNA. I don’t share things like that. And I take care of that kind of bulls*** away from the public. They don’t need to know that. That’s why I say it wasn’t my best day.”
Johnson said there was a silver lining from the whole debacle and revealed that, while “it caused a firestorm,” it sparked a conversation on set because “every single crew member found their way to me and either quietly thanked me or sent me a note.”
It also resulted in a much-needed meeting with Diesel. “I wouldn’t call it a peaceful meeting,” Johnson admitted. “I would call it a meeting of clarity. He and I had a good chat in my trailer, and it was out of that chat that it really became just crystal clear that we are two separate ends of the spectrum. And agreed to leave it there.”
He also defined what a candya** is: A person who makes life harder for others because they are “completely full of s***.”
This morning, William Shatner blasts off with three others on board Blue Origin’s New Shepard rocket, bound for space.
The moment is being eagerly anticipated by Trekkies the world over, including Brian Volk-Weiss, the producer of Netflix’s popular Movies That Made Us series. But Volk-Weiss explains the significance of the event isn’t lost on those who couldn’t tell a Klingon from a Vulcan.
“My wife is not a Trekkie at all. Maybe she’s even an anti-Trekkie. She gets it. The symbolism that up until this year, nobody ever thought Captain Kirk would actually go to where Captain Kirk worked. Like she got it.”
Volk-Weiss continued, “I thought my Star Trek bias and my history bias … like, I wasn’t sure if I could be a fair judge. But I mean, it’s nothing short of amazing. Yes, he’s lived a long time, but the fact that within his own lifetime, what literally would have been thought impossible — I think even in January — is happening.”
Shatner, who turned 90 in March, will be the oldest person to reach space, surpassing a record set by 82-year-old astronaut Wally Funk, who blasted off on the New Shepard in July.
Shatner will join microbiologist Glen de Vries, Planet Labs founder Chris Boshuizen, and Blue Origin’s Audrey Powers when New Shepard‘s 18th mission, NS-18, blasts off Wednesday morning.
The event is now scheduled for 10 a.m. Eastern, depending on weather and other conditions at Blue Origin’s launch site in Texas.
The new limited series Dopesick premieres today on Hulu.
Michael Keaton stars as a small-town doctor who thought he was helping his patients with pain by prescribing the painkiller OxyContin, but instead ended up getting people he knew and loved addicted to opioids. Keaton tells ABC Audio he thinks his show will make people angry.
“How could you not be angry at something as large as Big Pharma, and in this case, we gotta say it, the Sackler family,” asks the actor, referring to the owners of Purdue Pharma and Mundipharma, the pharmaceutical companies at the center of the opioid crisis that have faces criminal charges, bankruptcy and billions in fines as a result. “People…most of them…we could categorize as the have-nots…they’re the victims,” he continues. “How do you not get angry?”
“I hope they’re mad,” adds Dopesick creator Danny Strong, who also hopes the series will inspire people to take action.
“I hope they have an understanding of what happened. I hope that this might inspire some push for change, particularly with the revolving door in government in which people that are overseeing these companies, pharma companies in particular, that are supposed to be there to protect and regulate the public from a criminal company like Purdue Pharma,” Strong adds. “Instead of regulating them they go and they work for them.”
Dopesick also stars Peter Sarsgaard, Will Poulter, Kaitlyn Dever and Rosario Dawson.
While Monday on Dancing with the Stars was sugar, spice and everything nice for Disney Heroes Night — Tuesday was an about face, with host Tyra Banks announcing an evil plot twist for Disney Villains Night: the season’s first double elimination.
The first person to head home was Beverly Hills, 90210 alum Brian Austin Green, with Banks revealing his departure was by default as he and partner Sharna Burgess finished the night at the bottom of the scoreboard.
The audience voted Real Housewives of Atlanta star Kenya Moore and former Bachelor Matt James into the bottom two and the judges were evenly split over who to save. Len Goodman bemoaned being in the “horrible position” of casting the tie-breaking vote and, after some stalling, ultimately chose to spare Kenya, who fell to her knees in shock.
That decision also meant the end of Bachelor Nation’s hope of winning a third consecutive Mirrorball Trophy. Former Bachelorettes Hannah Brown and Kaitlyn Bristowe won the two previous seasons.
Speaking of consecutive wins, The Office star Melora Hardin again brought her A-game to the ballroom and again claimed first place. Her theatrical and in-character jazz routine to Tangled‘s “Mother Knows Best” — which Melora sang, by the way — earned her the first 10 of the season.
Another standout moment came from country singer Jimmie Allen, who opened the show with his Captain Hook-inspired jazz routine to Billie Eilish‘s “bad guy.” After securing his best score of the season, the Grammy nominee proudly revealed that he just found out his wife, Alexis Gale, was about to give birth to their second child.
Peloton instructor Cody Rigsby also had a great night and secured his best score of the season. The judges took a moment to salute him and dance partner Cheryl Burke, who were both “fresh out of quarantine” after testing positive for COVID-19 a few weeks ago — which meant they had the least amount of time to rehearse.
Rigsby explained he and Cheryl were able to hold their first in-person practice on Friday and, before then, relied on Zoom to communicate. Despite their triumph this week, they have to work extra hard to catch up with the rest of the pack as they are currently at the bottom of the scoreboard and are now in danger of going home.
Dancing with the Stars returns next Monday at 8 p.m. ET on ABC, where the cast will pay homage to the movie Grease.
Here are the current standings:
Melora Hardin, The Office actress, with Artem Chivensky — 73/80 JoJo Siwa, Nickelodeon star, with Jenna Johnson — 70/80 Olivia Jade, influencer, with Val Chmerkovskiy — 70/80 Amanda Kloots, The Talk co-host, with Alan Bersten — 68/80 Suni Lee, Olympic Gold medalist, with Sasha Farber — 68/80
Jimmie Allen, country music singer, with Emma Slater — 67/80 Melanie C, Spice Girl, with Gleb Savchenko — 66/80 Michael “The Miz” Gregory, WWE superstar, Witney Carson — 65/80 Iman Shumpert, NBA player, with Daniella Karagach — 63/80
Kenya Moore, former Miss USA, with Brandon Armstrong — 59/80
Cody Rigsby, Peloton instructor, with Cheryl Burke — 58/80

The COO of Metropolis Comics became the superhero that a celebrity needed, after he found Molly Shannon‘s cellphone.
On his TikTok, Vincent Zurzolo posted a selfie video in which he explained he was in a cab with his wife, headed from New York Comic Con on Sunday, when they heard a cellphone ringing in the back seat.
He explained a “very nervous” person was on the other end of the line, then Zurzolo panned to show the owner: Molly Shannon, in their home, doing her SNL character Mary Catherine Gallagher’s famous “Superstar” pose.
Shannon explained she’s normally “very reliable” with her cellphone, which she guessed must have spilled from her purse. She used the “Find My Phone” iPhone app to locate it but doubted she’d ever see it again.
The trio met in person to make the exchange. “I said, it’s very serendipitous that we all meet, so there must be a reason for it,” the actress admitted.
Showing some comic timing of his own, Zurzolo deadpanned, “I let her know we are swingers, and she is staying the night.”
“Yeah, it all worked out great,” Shannon added sexily, before closing with “Happy Sunday!” and gratefully hugging the couple.
The post has been liked more than 40 thousand times since the Zurzolos posted it Tuesday.
Nick Cannon and Eminem feuded for over a decade, and on Monday, The Masked Singer host thanked Fat Joe for helping to end their grudge when Joe appeared on Nick’s new self-titled TV talk show.
Eminem, who was briefly involved with Mariah Carey, fired numerous shots over the years at Nick, who was married to Carey from 2008 to 2014.
“Mariah, what ever happened to us?/ Why did we have to break up?” the 8 Mile star rapped on his 2009 track “Bagpipes from Baghdad.” “Nick, you had your fun, I’ve come to kick you in your sack of junk.” He continued to dis Nick all the way through 2020 on Joe’s “Lord Above” track.
“I know me and Mariah didn’t end on a high note,” Eminem rapped. “But that other dude’s whipped, that p***y got him neutered.”
Cannon retaliated with multiple diss tracks, including “The Invitation” and “Pray for Him.”
On his television show, Nick thanked the Terror Squad leader for being the peacemaker during an Instagram Live session. “This brother right here helped end the beef with me and Eminem on his show,” Cannon said. “And it wasn’t no ‘real beef,’ but Joe was like, ‘I gotta get you two brothers together.'”
Fat Joe said he called up Eminem and told him, “This gotta stop,” and the feud ended.
On Wednesday, William Shatner will be strapped into Blue Origins New Shepard rocket and do what his alter-ego James T. Kirk has done countless times: travel to space.
In a new promotional video from Jeff Bezos‘ company, Shatner talks with “wonder” about his upcoming experience. “It’s life-changing in its way,” the actor says. “Not because of the people I’m meeting and talking with…Jeff Bezos’ concept to make living and building in space, and to make pollution a thing of the past — what noble ambitions those are, and somebody has to start it.”
The actor adds, “We’re just at the beginning. And how miraculous is it to be at the beginning!”
Shatner continues, “There is this mystique of being in space, and being that much closer to the stars.”
The actor and author says he expects to be “entranced” by his view from 66 miles above the Earth, noting, “I want to look at that orb and appreciate its beauty and its tenacity, its sustaining this life of ours which allows us to look with awe and wonder about the miracle of space.”
He notes, “There is an adventure in my life that I would not have had if I had not done this.”
Acknowledging his iconic Star Trek alter-ego, Shatner reflects, “It looks like there is this curiosity about this fictional character, Captain Kirk going into space, so let’s go along with it and enjoy the ride!”
Shatner will join microbiologist Glen de Vries, Planet Labs founder Chris Boshuizen, and Blue Origin’s Audrey Powers when New Shepard’s 18th mission, NS-18, takes off Wednesday morning.
The flight, delayed a day because of high winds, is scheduled for lift-off at 9:30 a.m. ET.
