Kim, Kanye headed for divorce

Hilaria Baldwin takes heat for faking Spanish heritage, accent

While I was busy pondering if I’m too cool to put cleat attachment­s on my winter boots (I’m not), celebritie­s were getting together, getting divorced and getting some heat over allegedly faking their Spanish heritage.

Kim Kardashian is reportedly divorcing Kanye West. I am both shocked and wondering what took her so long. Kim and Kanye met in 2003, started dating in 2012, married in 2014 and have four children together. A source told Page Six that the couple is already in settlement talks and living separately.

In 2020, after some erratic behaviour and controvers­ial statements by Kanye, Kim stated that he suffers from bipolar disorder.

It is reported that Kim hired high-profile divorce attorney Laura Wasser to protect her $900 million net worth.

I really thought after 20 seasons of Keeping Up With the Kardashian­s I was a retired viewer, but now I’m going to have to tune into their new show on Hulu.

Hilaria Baldwin, wife of Alec Baldwin, came under fire for allegedly faking her Spanish heritage and accent. Comedian Amy Schumer shared a photo of Hilaria Baldwin holding her three-month-old son while wearing lingerie as a joke, pretending it was her and her son, and she inadverten­tly sparked a storm of tweets about Hilaria’s heritage.

“You have to admire Hilaria Baldwin’s commitment to her decade-long grift where she impersonat­es a Spanish person,” Twitter user @lenibrisco­e said.

In various podcasts and interviews, Hilaria insinuated she was born in Spain and moved to New York City at 19.

It has since been unearthed that she was born in Boston, used to go by Hillary and only spent some time in Spain in her childhood. Hilaria clarified on Instagram that she grew up bilingual and spent a lot of time back and forth between the U.S. and Spain, with a large portion of her

family living in Spain.

Having dissected all of the interviews with the intensity of someone who has barely left their home for 10 months, it does seem like she was wanting people to believe she was Spanish through and through (I mean, she asked what the English word for cucumber was), but I’m also someone who speaks one language and thinks Covehead is exotic.

Harry Styles and Olivia Wilde are allegedly a couple! Six years and two kids later, it was reported that Olivia Wilde and Jason Sudeikis split in early 2020.

While some sources say Olivia and Harry have been dating since October or November, they were first photograph­ed together a few weeks ago, holding hands at the intimate wedding of Harry’s manager.

During COVID, plus ones are a precious commodity, so I would assume this duo is serious.

Also, can I just say, I love Harry Styles in a flared trouser and I’m happy to give a wide leg a comeback, but can we agree to never again let low rise pants happen? We have to stick together.
