Kim and Khloé Kardashian toured two California prisons in Chowchilla: Valley State Prison and Central California Women’s Facility. On Feb. 9, they recorded footage for their upcoming show, set to stream on Hulu in six months.

Watch the video and continue reading the story below:

During their visit to Valley, they met with participants of the Youth Offender Program, including Travon Willis who found it to be a great opportunity to have visiting celebrities.

“Today we are here to give people an opportunity to see what it’s like for us,” Willis said. “(They can) see we are able to change (and make) different choices.”

The Kardashian sisters also met with trainers from the Veterans Service Dogs program. After meeting with trainers, staff, and the four-legged participants, they departed Valley and went to a women’s prison for the first time.

At the women’s facility they met with a group of Anti-Recidivism Coalition participants at the chapel. The group is led by Lynn Acosta and Norma Cumpian.

“Coming to a women’s prison, I feel like it has really changed my perspective on why I work in prison reform,” said Kim Kardashian.

During their tour of the facilities, they interacted with staff, volunteers, and the population.

Kim and Khloé Kardashian Visit Calif. Prison to Hear Inmates' Experiences

The Kardashian sisters were joined by a group of community leaders on Monday to speak with individuals at Los Angeles County's California State Prison

Kim and Khloé Kardashian are working to help foster a new group of criminal justice reform leaders.

On Monday, the Kardashian sisters teamed up with Michael Rubin and REFORM Alliance's Future Shapers Advisory Council to visit Los Angeles County's California State Prison in an effort to speak with incarcerated individuals and learn more about their experiences.

"It's always an honor to be able to visit the men and women living behind our prison walls," Kim, 42, said after the visit.

"Hearing the stories of people trapped in the prison system is what drives my commitment to advocate for reform and find ways to leverage my platform to help change lives and laws. Today I was especially thrilled to bring REFORM's Future Shapers Advisory Council inside the prison as well. We are building up the next generation of leaders and influencers who will join us in this fight," she added.

The REFORM Alliance was established in 2018 by rapper Meek Mill , alongside individuals that include Rubin, Shawn "JAY-Z" Carter , Robert Kraft, and more to "transform probation and parole by changing laws, systems, and culture to create real pathways to work and wellbeing."

In February, the advocacy group founded the Future Shapers Advisory Council to bring a younger generation of advocates into the criminal justice reform movement.

Members from the council including Jack Wright , and Dixie D'Amelio , were present during Monday's visit as part of the cohort's first engagements as members of the council.

The Future Shapers Advisory Council was established following a Gen Z dinner hosted by Rubin and Kim in February where the group gathered at Rubin's home to listen to multiple speakers share their experiences within the criminal justice system.

Kim told the Gen Z'ers that the best way to learn was to speak with those most impacted by it.

Kim has been working to help inmates who were given too harsh a prison sentence seek clemency since embarking on a journey to earn her law degree.

She opened up about her passion for criminal justice reform in an interview with Vogue after starting a four-year apprenticeship with a law firm in San Francisco in 2019. "I had to think long and hard about this," she said.

"I never in a million years thought we would get to the point of getting laws passed," she said. "That was really a turning point for me."

Kim and Khloé Kardashian visit men and women's prison in Central CA

MADERA COUNTY, Calif. -- Two well-known reality TV stars were in Central California Friday.

Our station in Fresno learned that Kim and Khloé Kardashian visited the men's and women's prison in Chowchilla. Their cameras were there as the sisters' black Cadillac SUV drove onto the Valley State Prison property along with several other vehicles.

Kim and Khloé were later seen boarding Kim's private plane at the Madera airport.

The luxury jet is known as "Kim Air" and has made headlines itself over its $150 million price tag and custom design.

Kim is an advocate for criminal justice reform and has helped free several nonviolent drug offenders from prison, including Alice Johnson back in 2018.

She also has a documentary on Oxygen called "Kim Kardashian West: The Justice Project."

Action News is working to confirm more details about the sisters' trip to the Chowchilla prisons and if they were there on the behalf of any specific inmates.

Kim Kardashian Visits California Prison As She Advocates For Criminal Justice Reform

Senior Reporter

Kim Kardashian continued her mission for criminal justice reform during a visit to a Southern California prison on Monday.

The reality star joined members of the Reform Alliance and several other high-profile advocates for a visit to California State Prison, Los Angeles, which houses 2,300 people in Lancaster, California, 90 minutes outside LA.

While there, Reform Alliance said Kardashian “met with incarcerated men in the facility to learn about their stories, hear about the challenges that led them into the criminal justice system and identify ways in which the system can better support safety and rehabilitation.”

Following the visit, the star explained how she hoped to “leverage” her platform “to help change lives and laws,” saying it is “always an honor to be able to visit the men and women living behind our prison walls.”

She also celebrated Reform’s Future Shapers Advisory Council for Gen-Z activists, calling them the “next generation of leaders and influencers who will join us in this fight.”

Along with the council, Kardashian was joined by sister Khloé Kardashian, rapper Lil Baby, influencer Dixie D’Amelio, Fanatics CEO Michael Rubin, California Assembly member Matt Haney, and Reform Alliance execs Jessica Jackson and Erin Haney.

Kardashian’s history of advocacy goes as far back as 2018, when she went directly to the White House to ask then-President Donald Trump to vacate low-level drug offender Alice Marie Johnson’s life sentence.

She also championed the First Step Act, which, according to the Federal Bureau of Prisons, seeks to improve criminal justice outcomes and reduce the size of the federal prison population while maintaining public safety.

“I never in a million years thought we would get to the point of getting laws passed,” the celebrity told Vogue of the bipartisan legislation , which was signed in 2018. “That was really a turning point for me.”

Kardashian has been working towards a law degree since 2019, when she started an apprenticeship at a San Francisco law firm.

She passed California’s “baby bar” exam in May 2022 after her third try.

While celebrating her accomplishment on Instagram, she paid tribute to her late father Robert Kardashian Sr., who was a member of O.J. Simpson’s defense team during his 1994-95 murder trial.

Kim Kardashian leads young influencers on Los Angeles prison trip to raise criminal justice reform awareness

The group reform alliance teamed up with longtime criminal justice reform advocate kim kardashian bringing new generation to their cause.

Kim Kardashian: What to know

Who is Kim Kardashian? Here are a few things you should know

FIRST ON FOX: Kim and Khloé Kardashian walked into a California prison Monday morning with a different goal in mind – guiding a group of young influencers through the American criminal justice system.

"It’s always an honor to be able to visit the men and women living behind our prison walls," Kim, a longtime criminal justice reform advocate, said Monday. The "Kardashians" star had spent several hours at the California State Prison of Los Angeles County in Lancaster with Michael Rubin and members of the REFORM Alliance – a group that aims to help ex-cons successfully return to society through probation and parole reform – and a number of young social media stars.

"Hearing the stories of people trapped in the prison system is what drives my commitment to advocate for reform and find ways to leverage my platform to help change lives and laws," she said of the visit, which began around 9:30 a.m.

In a proverbial generational shift, the social media and reality TV superstar said the goal of the trip was to introduce a new group of Gen-Z influencers to key issues of criminal justice and proposals for reform.

They are called the Future Shapers Advisory Council, which was established in February with the REFORM Alliance, and includes Hannah Jackson, Rondo Bonilla, sisters Charli D’Amelio and Dixie D’Amelio , Sophia Kianni, C.J. Stroud, Zander Moricz, Jack Wright, Bryce Young, Jax Ajueny and Aidan Kohn-Murphy.

In 2018, Kardashian famously lobbied then-President Donald Trump for the release of Alice Johnson , who served 21 years in prison for a nonviolent offense.

A prison spokesperson did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

She has also hosted a podcast on the subject, " Kim Kardashian's The System ," and has made visits to jails and prisons around the country.

For years, she's visited inmates around the country, including former Oklahoma death row resident Julius Jones in prison roughly a year before Gov. Kevin Stitt granted him clemency in 2021 , commuting his sentence to life without parole.

And in 2020, she partnered with Oxygen for a two-hour documentary titled "Kim Kardashian West: The Justice Project," in which she revealed she hoped to become a lawyer.

After leaving the state prison in Lancaster, the group stopped for lunch at La Papillon, a steakhouse and seafood restaurant.

In 2020, Kardashian addressed people who aren't familiar with her prison reform work, thinking it is a publicity stunt.

"I would say, first of all, [I'm] spending so much time away from my family and children," she told Fox News Digital at the time. "I'm going to law school, which is taking 18 hours a week from my babies to study. I think there are more cost-effective and time-effective publicity stunts that I can do. I always laugh at that one. Why would someone go to law school for a publicity stunt? That’s torture."

"What I really want is for these cases, these stories of injustices, to get attention," she continued. "I think as long as these cases are getting attention, that just makes me really happy. I just hope that it continues like that, no matter what it's faced with."

"I think you just have to tune out the noise and stay focused on people and these issues," she added.  "They're the ones that deserve the attention, not the critics."

Kim Kardashian West passes the ‘baby bar’ exam. Who cares that it took four tries?

• Show more sharing options
• Copy Link URL Copied!

Kim Kardashian West has passed California’s “baby bar” exam, and she is really proud of herself.

“For anyone who doesn’t know my law school journey, know this wasn’t easy or handed to me,” the beauty mogul and prison-reform activist wrote Monday on Instagram. “I failed this exam 3 times in 2 years, but I got back up each time and studied harder and tried again until I did it!!! (I did have COVID on the 3rd try w a 104 fever but I’m not making excuses.)”

The reality-TV star and entrepreneur included photos of herself at home in a plunging royal blue bodysuit with a sweeping train over the pants and heels. The back of the outfit was peekaboo, and the vibe was a more revealing nod to her blacked-out, rules-breaking 2021 Met Gala ensemble by Balenciaga.

‘The meeting that changed the world’: Inside the first days of the Kardashian empire

Kris Jenner, Kim Kardashian and TV insiders look back on the start of a celebreality empire in our oral history of ‘Keeping Up with the Kardashians.’

June 3, 2021

Kardashian West is studying law without one big traditional step: attending law school. That means that she, like others who study in programs and schools that aren’t accredited by the State Bar of California, has to take two exams to earn her credentials — the so-called baby bar, plus the bar exam that all aspirants must pass to become attorneys.

Kardashian West said she was told by “top lawyers” that her path was “a close to impossible journey,” but she noted that it was her only option. She decided to pursue law in 2018 and revealed her decision in early 2019 .

At the time, she was among those lobbying for the release of Alice Marie Johnson, who later became a model for her Skims shapewear line. In that process, she told Vogue, she realized that she was in over her head with regard to the law.

Kim Kardashian West and Pete Davidson are dating. How they went from hello to hickey

It sure looks like Kim Kardashian West and Pete Davidson are a thing, given their giggles and paparazzi pics of their outings. Here’s a timeline so far.

Nov. 23, 2021

Before the COVID-19 pandemic hit, Kardashian West had been hoping to take California’s official bar exam in 2022. No word on whether that has changed.

“I know my dad would be so proud and he would actually be so shocked to know that this is my path now but he would have been my best study partner,” Kardashian continued on Instagram, referring to her late father, Robert Kardashian, an attorney who represented O.J. Simpson.

“I am told he was notorious for making fun of people who didn’t pass on their first attempt like he did, but he would have been my biggest cheerleader!”

Bottom line, she said: Don’t ever give up, even when a situation looks bleak.

Ye, the rapper formerly known as Kanye West , and also formerly known as happily married to Kardashian West, appears to be taking that advice — but it might not be working out as well for him.

The day after his “Free Larry Hoover” benefit concert with Drake on Thursday at Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum, where Ye altered the lyrics of “Runaway” to say, “I need you to run right back, baby — more specifically, Kimberly,” she took a legal step to run farther away from him.

The mother of Ye’s children apparently filed Friday to separate the couple’s financial issues from their divorce, according to TMZ , and asked the court to declare her an unmarried woman before those issues are settled. (The Times was unable to independently verify that report Monday morning.)

She also reportedly asked to drop the “West” from her name and return to her maiden name, Kim Kardashian, potentially making life easier for headline writers worldwide. A judge still has to sign off on the document, TMZ said.

19 pictures and videos that take you inside Kim Kardashian West and Kanye West's mansion in California's Hidden Hills

By Devika Manghnani

During a 73 Questions interview with Vogue , Kim Kardashian West once described her home as “a minimal monastery”, and she couldn't be more right. The reality star and husband Kanye West are among the most followed couples in the world, and together, the duo run multiple franchises including SKIMS, KKW Beauty  and Yeezy , each with a bold, easy-to-spot aesthetic. But what may come as a surprise to many fans is that the couple's home is as pared down as they come. Located in the suburban neighbourhood of Hidden Hills, the Wests bought this mansion back in 2014, and worked with Belgian designer and tastemaker Axel Vervoordt to create their unique space. Their all-white home features two swimming pools , two spas, two barbecues, a private theatre, a large walk-in closet and a two-storey playroom for their children North, Saint, Chicago and Psalm, and that's not all. This residence, which sits on 3.5 acres of land, also boasts its very own vineyard. If you've never checked out this celebrity home, it's time to take a virtual tour. 

You have to see Kim Kardashian West’s pristine all-white living room

The Kardashian-Jenner clan is known to prefer neutral palettes when it comes to the interiors of their homes. In Kim Kardashian West's case, this is especially evident when one takes a peek inside the living room. Kardashian West's all-white space is sparsely furnished, creating a blank canvas-like setting that's as soothing as it is statement-making. One can spot a Jean Royère chair and table in the living room, both of which were handpicked by Kanye West, a matching white piano, and a fibre glass sculpture by artist Anish Kapoor that completes the space. The Wests chose sheer ivory cotton curtains for this space, which allow a degree of colour and sunshine from their lawns to light up their living room.

For her kitchen, Kardashian West went for the same neutral palette as the rest of her home. A large island counter with a glossy marble top and white oak cabinets takes centre stage in this part of the West residence, which is also accented by ceramic vases with succulents. While the couple's living room was all about shades of ivory, the kitchen, which seems to be a favourite spot for the family to come together, champions creamy hues. 

Kanye West and Kim Kardashian West's kitchen also features a round dining table for the family to enjoy their breakfast together. Right next to the dining table sits a plush taupe couch with comfy cushions in the same shade. 

This artistic, all-white corridor is the highlight of Kim Kardashian West's home 

A great spot for pre-event photoshoots, this all-white corridor in Kim Kardashian West and Kanye West's California mansion takes you across the rest of the house. Dome shaped sections add dimension to the blank walls of this pathway, and large arched windows bring in sunshine that create aesthetically pleasing shadows along the floors. This picture-perfect spot is bound to catch any interior enthusiast's eye, and it also happens to sometimes double up as North West's spot for fun at-home performances. Remember when she danced to ‘Old Town Road’ by Lil Nas X for her mom here? 

Can you keep up with Kim Kardashian West's expansive walk-in closet? 

With 184 million followers on Instagram, Kim Kardashian West is a social media star and has mastered the art of keeping her fans entertained. The mom-of-four likes to give her Insta fam regular peeks into her private life when she isn't busy shooting for Keeping Up With The Kardashians , and doesn't hesitate from taking the world into her closet. A dream come true for many, Kardashian West's spacious closet has been divided in two parts. The first section, seen above, is a dedicated space for her handbags and shoes. White walls and taupe coloured hardwood floors form the base of this space, which comes with several floor-to-ceiling shelves filled to the brim with accessories from labels like Louis Vuitton, Balenciaga, Hermès (don't miss that row of Birkins!) and more. From classic pieces to OTT party-ready clutches and boots, you'll find them all in here. 

The second section of Kim Kardashian West's closet also follows a minimalistic aesthetic. Instead of stuffy cupboards or shelves, this space features dress racks with all her clothing neatly lined up according to colour. This corner of the closet comes with a mirrored wall, a large ivory velvet couch, and distressed hardwood floors. 

Did you miss this cool element in the West family room?

Along with their breakfast table, the West family also seem to like spending time together in a special room, which includes a larger-than-life sculpture by Isabel Rower. The room also features a grey couch, which faces a projector set up for the family to enjoy movie nights as often as possible. Fun fact: Saint loves to watch Papa Troll , while North enjoys downtime with Bill Nye, The Science Guy . 

Have you seen North, Saint, Chicago and Psalm's play area? 

Kanye West and Kim Kardashian West's comes with a dedicated two-floor space where their four children can let loose and have fun. Unlike the rest of the home, this corner features more colour, and more playful interiors, starting with its lavender and pistachio walls and brown hardwood floors. The West kids' toys take up almost every bit of this area. You'll spot stuffed animals, a doll house, and much more here. North, Chicago, Psalm and Saint's closets have dedicated spots here too, and just like their parents, the kids have separate storage sections for their many accessories.

Kim Kardashian says she has passed California's 'baby bar' exam

Kim Kardashian, Esq.? As of Monday, she's one step closer.

The entrepreneur and "Keeping Up With the Kardashians" star announced on Instagram that after two years of studying and three attempts at taking it, she has passed the California "baby bar" exam, also known as the First-Year Law Students' Examination, according to the California State Bar website .

First-year law students attending a "degree program at a State Bar-unaccredited registered law school, through the Law Office Study Program and those without two years of college work attending a Committee of Bar Examiners- or an American Bar Association-accredited law school" must pass the exam in order to be eligible to sit for the bar, the website states.

In her lengthy post, Kardashian said she failed the exam three times during the two-year journey.

"But I got back up each time and studied harder and tried again until I did it!!!" she wrote, noting she had Covid-19 on the third attempt with a "104 fever but I'm not making excuses."

"In California, the way I'm studying law you need to take 2 bar exams, this was just the first one but with the harder pass rate," she added. "I was told by top lawyers that this was a close to impossible journey and harder than the traditional law school route but it was my only option and it feels so so sooooo good to be here and on my way to achieving my goals."

The news comes over two years after Kardashian first expressed her interest in pursuing a law degree.

The 41-year-old, who did not complete college, initially said she had plans to take the bar exam in 2022 . Four states, including California, where she lives, offer an alternative path to passing the bar known as “reading the law,” or apprenticing with a practicing lawyer or judge.

She said she was inspired by her involvement in the case of  Alice Marie Johnson , a grandmother who was serving life in prison in Alabama for a nonviolent drug conviction.

She has since been updating followers on her journey.

"I've seen some comments from people who are saying it’s my privilege or my money that got me here, but that's not the case," she wrote in a 2019 Instagram post , which accompanied a photo of her studying alongside her attorney mentors, Jessica Jackson and Erin Haney, to whom she was introduced by CNN commentator Van Jones.

"One person actually said I should 'stay in my lane.' I want people to understand that there is nothing that should limit your pursuit of your dreams, and the accomplishment of new goals," Kardashian wrote in the post two years ago. "You can create your own lanes, just as I am. The state bar doesn't care who you are."

In April, Kardashian shared a photo of herself studying in the sun for the exam .

She also talked about failing the "baby bar" on the final season of "Keeping Up With the Kardashians."

"So, you guys, I did not pass the baby bar," Kardashian says in a clip from the episode. "If you do law school the way I'm doing it, it is a four-year program instead of your typical three-year program. And after year one, you have to take the baby bar. This one's actually harder, I hear, than the official bar." She needed a 560 to pass, and got a 474 on her first attempt.

Kardashian's father, Robert Kardashian, was a prominent Los Angeles lawyer who was part of the legal team representing O.J. Simpson in his 1995 trial in the killings of his former wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and her friend, Ronald Goldman. Simpson was acquitted.

"I know my dad would be so proud and he would actually be so shocked to know that this is my path now but he would have been my best study partner," Kardashian wrote in her Monday update. "I am told he was notorious for making fun of people who didn't pass on their first attempt like he did, but he would have been my biggest cheerleader!"

She thanked Jones, Jackson, Haney and Bar Bri Law School bar prep (where she said she went through "10 hour days, daily 4 hour Zooms, our in person practice tests week after week") for helping her achieve this latest feat.

"Bottom line is don't ever give up even when you are holding on by a thread, you can do it!!!!!" she wrote. "Set your mind to it and get it done because it feels soooooo good once you get to the other side!"

North West is a classic nepo baby — and a symptom of a bigger societal problem

The “nepo baby” discourse has resurfaced once again on social media after Kim Kardashian and Ye’s eldest daughter recently made her stage debut in “The Lion King 30th Anniversary — A Live-to-Film Concert Event” at the Hollywood Bowl.

Ten-year-old North West performed alongside Jeremy Irons, Billy Eichner and Jennifer Hudson, in a fuzzy  costume designed by ERL . Recordings of the performance were posted to social media , sparking a backlash from unimpressed viewers who argued North seemed unprepared for such a high-profile role. 

Actor Rosie O’Donnell and singer and screenwriter Nick Atkinson shared similar feelings (although others pointed out that the song West performed, “I Just Can’t Wait to Be King,” is arguably an ode to nepotism.)

Public ire directed at a rich kid enjoying rich-kid perks is not surprising. But I think these discussions too often assign personal blame that is both unhelpful and a little gross. 

I can think of very few things more natural than a parent — yes, even a rich parent! — wanting better for their child. The desire to provide as many opportunities for your offspring is innate, making nepotism somewhat of an inevitability. And that’s where societal guardrails come in.

Privileged parents who shamelessly bend the rules, exploit loopholes and circumvent fair processes for the sake of their children should not get a pass just because their behavior is motivated by relatable instincts. Scamming the college admissions process to get your already prosperous kids into elite universities is wrong. Appointing your unqualified children to government positions simply because you can is wrong. Helping your unprepared 10-year-old leapfrog other more talented children to secure a leading role is also wrong. And, I’d argue in this case, likely to open your child up to unnecessary but predictable public ridicule. 

Stu dies have shown that despite parents’ best intentions, putting too much pressure on their child to succeed is detrimental to their overall mental health. Children shouldering an undue burden of parental expectations run the risk of everything from negative self-talk and body issues to academic underperformance and social withdrawal. 

Perhaps 10-year-old West wanted to be on stage, and her well-connected parents acquiesced by any means necessary. In the age of social media, however, it’s fair to wonder if either caregiver prepared their daughter for the downsides of fame, and the never-ending bombardment of other people’s opinions. Just because North West frequently appears on social media doesn’t mean she’s immune to the potentially serious mental health consequences of social media exposure, especially at this scale.

Society, of course, makes it all the more enticing for wealthy parents to take questionable advantage of their social standing. In a culture infatuated with the rich and famous, plenty of us still obsess over celebrity birth announcements, birthdays and noteworthy milestones, as well as the inevitable cameo appearances in television shows, movies and on stage. A quick Google search surfaces headlines like “Every Time We Applauded North West’s Sass ,” “North West Flexes Her Grills on Social Media ” and “North West Looks Identical to Kim Kardashian in Their Latest Set of Twinning Photos.”  

If a celebrity’s job is to entertain the masses and give the people what they want, Kardashian and Ye are certainly delivering.

It's also important to remember that parental influence and privilege comes in many, many different forms. Private school students are more likely to be admitted to top colleges and universities , yet the average cost of private school nationwide is well over $10,000 a year — an impossibility for a large swath of American families. There’s a reason why most mom influencers are white , just like there's a reason why too many Black, brown and lower-income mothers lack the support they need. When it comes to making sure everyone has equal access to various opportunities, as a society we have failed, have been failing, and are seemingly on track to continue to fail at every turn. 

As a parent, I understand the desire to bulldoze any obstacles my child might encounter on their path to success. As a member of the media industry who grew up in rural Alaska, did not attend an elite journalism school, could not take advantage of an unpaid internship or fellowship and never had a single family member employed at a legacy media organization, I deeply sympathize with those who look at the advantages children like North West are freely given and react in anger.

But if we as a society really want to see more kids — more theater kids, low-income kids, athletic kids, science kids, LGBTQ+ kids, kids with disabilities, rural kids, inner-city kids — receive the same chances as their wealthy peers, the “village” needs to focus less energy on parents taking advantage of the system as it is designed, and more on changing the system itself.

The North-West-as-Young-Simba Backlash Proves We Don’t Know What We Want From Nepo Babies

By Daniel Rodgers

I don’t know if anyone has seen a child do something before, but it is generally accepted that they are not very good at doing, well, anything at all. And so, when a 10-year-old North West performed as Young Simba during The Lion King ’s 30th-anniversary concert in Los Angeles last weekend—and did not immediately demonstrate the same vocal prowess as the 42-year-old Jennifer Hudson, another performer that evening—I was not especially surprised. The entertainment factor of a child’s performance tends to have more to do with novelty—look at this child doing a grown-up thing!—than true professional excellence.

That one-song cameo was enough to reignite all the discourse surrounding nepo babies—and the outsized opportunities afforded to the children of famous people—with hundreds of armchair critics claiming North was cast not because of talent but because her parents are billionaire celebrities. But here’s the thing: even the most seasoned of casting directors would struggle to find someone better suited to singing the words “I Just Can’t Wait to Be King” than the crown princess of the Kardashian empire. Someone who takes real glee in dethroning her mother on TikTok live and who once described Kim’s 2023 Met Gala gown as looking as though it had been purchased from “the dollar store.” Precocious scion is a role that North West was uniquely positioned to inhabit, and I’m sorry if the truth of her Young Simba—like so many great theatrical performances—felt unsettling to some. In all seriousness, while I am not interested in defending nepo babies (some are going to inherit their parents’ talent, while others are going to spend their whole lives in the miserable shadow of their surname), it is particularly galling to see adults take so much pleasure in surveilling young children online. Blue Ivy suffered the same fate when she performed on Beyoncé’s Renaissance tour and discovered that people on social media were disappointed in her 12-year-old dance moves—and questioning whether she’d really “earned” her place onstage. Frankly, what do we want from the children of famous people if not to sing for their suppers (and place in the spotlight)?

If we turn Apple Martin into a one-woman Page Six vertical by incessantly clicking on her face, it’s inevitable that she’ll end up on the Chanel front row . If we hover around Romy Mars-related content like a Maryland-bound chopper (“make a vodka sauce pasta with me because I’m grounded”), then we can’t exactly judge her for dropping a single titled, of all things, “Stuck Up.” You can choose to opt out of the nepo-baby discourse entirely, of course; you can decline to feed into the attention economy built around displays of beauty, privilege and success. What you cannot do is devour anything and everything related to trust fund-flashing tots and leave algorithm-tickling comments ripping into under-18s, then be annoyed that your newsfeed looks like a certain New York magazine cover . And to those still up in arms about North West a week after from her big-cat cameo? May I suggest you just… hakuna matata ?

You’ll never guess what Kim Kardashian carries in her tiny $30K Hermès Kelly bag

Who said a purse has to be utilitarian?

Kim Kardashian shared the (very) few items she keeps in her miniature Hermès Kelly bag that sells for north of $30,000  — and it’s not worth even a fraction of her purse’s price tag.

Kardashian is seen grabbing dinner with “American Horror Story” creator Ryan Murphy and her mom, Kris Jenner, where she brought along her teeny black bag on Thursday’s episode of “The Kardashians.”

“I love your little purse! What’s in there? Lip balm?” Murphy asked.

Kardashian, 43, laughed and said that there was actually “nothing in it,” because she just “grabbed it” before leaving.

“But typically would be a piece of gum, a powder puff and a lipstick,” the mom of four explained.

Kardashian held the accessory with her hand while wearing a black strapless corset and light-washed jeans and pulled her hair back in a messy bun with a clip for the low-key dinner.

The Skims founder previously did a bag haul on TikTok with a big Balenciaga crystal bag and lifted out various items such as a trading card from her son, lipstick, a digital camera, a hairbrush, Orbit peppermint gum, sunglasses, blushes, a Band-Aid and a phone charger.

Kardashian also clarified that the “most important” thing in her bag is actually a smaller Balenciaga crystal bag that holds her makeup products.

The reality star may have nothing in her Hermès purse, but she’s got a closet full of similar styles in various sizes — including enormous totes that could hold plenty of items, and she’s not afraid to bring them with her everywhere.

In March, Kardashian sent fans into a tizzy when she was spotted sitting courtside at a Los Angeles Lakers basketball game and set her $40,000 Hermès Birkin bag on the floor beside her feet.

Prior to that outing, Kardashian was photographed carrying a massive gray crocodile Birkin bag that spanned nearly two feet long .

The gray Haut à Courroies “HAC” bag costs a whopping $110,000, though it’s not the most expensive purse in her collection.

Kardashian has also shown off other items –– including the “world’s most expensive” handbag, a Himalaya Niloticus Crocodile Diamond Birkin bag , a leather-trimmed purse hand-painted by daughter North West and a $40,000 black crocodile Kelly bag.

Even eldest daughter North West, 10, has inherited her mom’s love of pricey purses, sporting a $10,000 white crocodile bag when she was just six years old.

The “American Horror Story” actress is no stranger to having a closet stocked with a plethora of the most expensive fashion items.

After announcing she was an ambassador for luxury brand Balenciaga, Kardashian revealed that she had a whooping 129 Balenciaga bags –– worth an estimated $387,000.

Kim Kardashian is one proud mama bear  lion after North West hit the stage in The Lion King at the Hollywood Bowl to roaring applause.

On Saturday, the 10-year-old daughter of Kardashian, 42, and Kanye West , 46, -- who split in 2021 after seven years of marriage -- played Simba in the special event celebrating 30 years since the movie's release.

In a series of photos posted to her Instagram Story, the SKIMS founder gave her 362 million followers a behind-the-scenes look at North's shining moment as the iconic Disney character. In one pic, North smiles sweetly while standing alongside the original singing voice of Simba, Jason Weaver. 

Weaver, 44, posted his photo with North on his Instagram, calling her a "young superstar in the making."

"I'm so PROUD you, North!! You're doing a such PHENOMENAL job in this show," Weaver wrote . 

On stage, the oldest of Kardashian and West's four children -- they also share Saint, 8, Chicago, 6, and Psalm, 5 -- sang "I Just Can't Wait to Be King" from the animated film, appearing in a costume resembling the titular animal.

Other photos shared by Kardashian see North backstage looking anxious and excited while convening with fellow cast members and even taking a moment to fix her younger sister's hair while awaiting her turn to perform. 

Content posted on X (formerly Twitter) showed North busting a move and singing her song, while her parents, siblings and other family members gleefully looked on from the audience. One picture shared by YZY Updates showed West -- dressed in all white with black sunglasses on -- holding up his phone as Kardashian was seated nearby with two of their other children. North's aunt, Khloé Kardashian , also looked to be in attendance.

ET was in the audience and watched as North gave her rendition and later rejoined her fellow cast on stage to bow. At one point, the young performer attempted to grab the hand of her co-star, Billy Eichner , who did not notice, causing for a hilarious moment until she caught his attention. Eichner voiced Timon in the 2019 live-action version of the film. 

The night also featured show-stopping performances from cast members from the animated, live-action and stage versions of the story, including Nathan Lane , Jennifer Hudson, Heather Headley and Jeremy Irons, who each received standing ovations for their respective songs. The entire show was dedicated to Richard Sherman, the legendary Mary Poppins and "It's a Small World" composer who died on Saturday at the age of 95. 

It's not the first time North has lent her voice to a project she is passionate about. Back in February, she appeared on her dad's song , "Talking/Once Again," featuring Ty Dolla $ign.

"I love it here / We gonna take over the year for another year / It's your bestie, Miss, Miss Westie," North sings in that song. "Don't tryna test me / It's gonna get messy." She also starred in the music video, which has amassed 20 million views on YouTube . 

West previously teased  North's appearance on his latest album ,  Vultures , during a listening party in Miami back in December, where he played a clip of his daughter dropping bars on the song.

Khloé Kardashian on the beauty hacks she's learnt from Kim and Kylie

By Denise Primbet

If there’s one thing I can tell you about what it’s like to speak to Khloé Kardashian , it’s that it feels… strangely familiar. “We're about to do interviews for our Kardashian show so I'm here at one of our studios,” she tells me on Zoom while dialling in from sunny Calabasas, California.

Her hair is long and effortlessly wavy. Her skin is bronzed and her makeup tied together with a soft matte nude lip, and she's wearing a sultry false lash, which she reveals is from her newly-announced collection with Tatti Lashes . Sitting just the way she does during the show’s confessionals, her warm, chatty and inviting energy nearly made me forget that I was speaking to one of the biggest reality stars in Hollywood.

Apart from starring in The Kardashians , Keeping Up With The Kardashians (as well as the show’s multiple spin-offs), Khloé has also paved the way for body inclusivity in the fashion industry, having founded Good American - a brand that offers one of the widest size ranges in denim to date.

One of nature’s prettiest scenes.

By Annie Blay

Her latest venture? False eyelashes , having collaborated with Tatti Lashes to bring out her own collection of falsies, including everything from wearable strip lashes, natural-looking individual clusters, a handy curved lash applicator and even a rose-oil-infused lash remover.

“I don't think I started wearing false lashes until I started doing the show when I was 22,” she tells me. “I'm half Armenian, so I do have really great natural lashes. But there's just nothing like false lashes and the confidence that they give you.”

“It's fun to play a different character of yourself and switch up looks," she adds. "Some wardrobe looks or glam makeup looks require either a sultry lash or a foxy lash or maybe a really over-the-top dramatic lash.”

Khloé tells me that she considers herself “more of a glam girl”, so her love for false lashes is understandable. “I love playing with makeup, I love exploring things,” she says.

And although she admits that her current makeup aesthetic hasn’t been as playful and colourful as it was before, she still recalls her previous looks with a smile. “Back in the day, I would do turquoise eyeshadows, I would put stars on my face, I would do jewels before Euphoria was a thing, and I would play around with hot pink lips (or peach and red). I played with so much colour and vibrancy.”

As she looks back on her beauty journey, Khloé says that she often turns to her sisters for tips and tricks on all things makeup and skincare - beauty advice that she swears by to this day. “I get a lot of beauty advice from Kim and Kylie. They are so knowledgeable in the beauty world. And what I love most is that they're not gatekeepers,” she says.

“I have very oily skin and no one else in my family really does," she continues. "So, my T-zone and the area around my nose will be constantly shiny. Kylie has always given me so many tips and advice like ‘don't use so many cream foundations’ or ‘use more powders or blotting papers instead’. They could be the smallest tips, but they've always worked.”

That said, Khloé points out that she often looks to Kim for a steer on her skincare regimen. “She's the one that taught me about hyaluronic acid and how great that is for you.”

According to Khloé, Kim regularly gives her advice on "things that you wouldn’t really think of”, such as never neglecting the neck and ears when applying skincare and being mindful of your sleeping positions. “If you’re side-sleeping, you’re always [laying] on one side of your face. So, of course, that side of your face is going to be flatter than the other”.

Speaking of skincare: to my surprise, Khloé prefers to keep her skincare routine “somewhat simple,” preferring a four-step routine rather than anything too elaborate.

“I use a lot of SkinCeuticals and Jan Marini products,” she says, heaping praise on the Jan Marini Bioglycolic Oily Skin Face Cleanser (which she often uses in the evening) and the SkinCeuticals Simply Clean Gel Cleanser , which she tends to reach for in the morning, followed by a face serum and a moisturiser .

Shop Khloe's beauty kit…

As the last step of her skincare routine, sunscreen is the one non-negotiable part of Khloé’s daily beauty ritual. “I am a sunscreen lover. I wear it every day, which I don't think a lot of people do. They're always like: ‘It's winter, why are you wearing sunscreen,’ and I'm like ‘Okay, the sun is still around.’ I always apply it, even on my hands, and I've been known to have very youthful-looking hands.”

Khloé was diagnosed with a melanoma on her back when she was just 19 years old, which needed to be removed via surgery. Melanoma is one of the most common types of skin cancer, which, according to Cancer Research UK , affects nearly 16,700 people a year in the UK.

“The first time I had skin cancer, it was such a shock to me", she says. “You're young and you don't really take care of yourself that well. You're just like: ‘Oh, you’re invincible, you're 19.'”

Khloé admits that in the years that followed, she’s become more diligent when it comes to sun protection. “I stick with my sunscreen and I like to wear hats when I'm outside, and just being cognisant of the fact that just because you're not laying out doesn't mean you're not getting sun exposure.”

Fans of The Kardashians will also know about Khloé’s second melanoma diagnosis, as the star has previously shared this on the third season of the show, which premiered earlier last year.

Having to undergo another surgical procedure to remove the tumour on her face, Khloé tells me: “Before, I don't think I paid attention to how often I reapplied [sunscreen]. I thought: ‘Oh, I did it in the morning, I'm totally fine.’ So, now I'm way more annoying about reapplying, whereas before, it was just a ‘one-and-done’ thing.” She also admits to getting head-to-toe checks at her dermatologist every three months.

Given her candid approach to her experience of skin cancer, it’s perhaps not surprising that Khloé refuses to let it hold her back: “It's not going to stop me from living my life and being with my kids.”

The Khloé Kardashian x Tatti Lashes collection launches globally on May 28th. The collection includes a limited-edition gift set (£35.95), a strip lash (£9.95), individual day-to-night lash duo set (£10.95), a curved lash applicator (£9.95), as well as a long-lasting lash adhesive & rose-oil-infused lash remover (£15.95).

Kim Kardashian Was ‘So Impressed’ by Daughter North’s ‘Remarkable’ Job During ‘Lion King’ Concert (Exclusive)

Kim Kardashian was in awe of her daughter North ’s role in the Hollywood Bowl’s The Lion King concert.

“Kim couldn’t be more proud of North for her performance in The Lion King, ” a source exclusively tells Us Weekly . “She knows it took a lot of courage to perform live in front of that many people. Particularly for a little girl her age, Kim thinks it’s remarkable and she’s so impressed.”

North, 10, who is the eldest child of Kardashian, 43, and ex-husband Kanye West , appeared as Young Simba at the Hollywood Bowl’s May 24 concert. In between showing clips of the 1994 animated movies, many stars came out to perform the musical numbers live. North sported a lion-inspired costume, taking to the stage to perform “I Just Can’t Wait to Be King” after an introduction from Jason Weaver . (Weaver was the original singing voice of Young Simba in the animated movie.)

North was joined by a slew of professional dancers and backup singers, nailing the entire number from start to finish. (An eyewitness previously told Us that North did not forget any of the song’s lyrics.)

“North took this role very seriously and rehearsed for a long time so she could put on a show that she would be proud of,” the insider tells Us. “It was important to her to give a flawless performance and she walked away smiling ear to ear.”

North was supported in the crowd by both of her parents, as well as her siblings. Kardashian and West, 46, also share sons Saint, 7, and Psalm, 5, and daughter Chicago, 6. Kim’s sisters Khloé Kardashian and Kourtney Kardashian , as well as their mother, Kris Jenner , also turned up in the audience . Khloé, 39, and Kris, 68, sat with the Good American designer’s daughter, True, 6, and niece Dream, 7.

“[I want to be a] basketball player, a rapper,” North previously said in an i-D magazine cover story in October 2023, adding that she also plans to run Kim’s Skims empire eventually. “Well, when I was 7, I wanted to be a boxer. But now I don’t want to be a boxer.”

North continued, “I’m going to do art on the side. When I’m, like, 13, I want to walk dogs to make money to buy art supplies, because everything around here is so expensive. So a rapper, a basketball player, and I’m going to make artwork that I sell.”
