  • O.J. Simpson once again denies he’s the father of Khloé Kardashian: ‘She is not mine’

    O.J. Simpson has once again denied being the father of Khloé Kardashian.

    Simpson appeared on the latest episode of the Full Send Podcast where he dismissed rumors of a romantic relationship with Khloé’s mother Kris Jenner. “People have their types, right? I always thought Kris was a cute girl. She was really nice, but I was…dating supermodels,” he said, laughing, at the 1:00:50 mark.

    “But the rumor ain’t true. It’s not even nowhere close to being true,” Simpson added. “It’s just that I have never been attracted to her, and I never suspected that she was ever attracted to me, so that was never the case.”

    When asked directly about the long-standing conspiracy theory regarding Khloé, Simpson flat-out responded, “No. No, I’m not.”

    In 2018, TMZ caught up with Simpson and asked him if congratulations were in order following the announcement that Khloé was pregnant. O.J. and his daughter Arnelle, who was with him at the time, knew exactly what was being hinted at, and didn’t take the bait.

    The following year, O.J. posted a video on Twitter, addressing these rumors once more with nearly similar talking points, especially in regards to a lack of attraction between himself and Kris.

    Khloé has also attempted to dispel these rumors, responding to someone on Instagram who claimed her father had to be O.J. based solely on the skin color of her daughter True.

  • Meet 7 richest Black women in the USA as of December 2022

    It was a successful year for Black businesswomen in the United States, as several saw their wealth significantly increase through new deals, acquisitions, and business expansion.

    Emma Grede, for example, experienced a significant rise in her net worth. With a current fortune of $360 million, Grede derives her net worth from ventures such as Kim Kardashian’s shapewear brand Skims and size-inclusive fashion brand Good American, which she co-founded with Khloe Kardashian in 2016.

    However, not all Black businesswomen in the United States had such fortunate this year. Some, like cosmetics billionaire Robyn “Rihanna” Fenty, saw their net worth drop due to rising interest rates, the uneven reopening of the pandemic, and market uncertainty caused by the war in Europe.

    Despite these challenges, many Black businesswomen in the United States were able to achieve success and increase their wealth, showcasing their hard work, determination, and resilience.

    It is important to recognize and celebrate these achievements, as they inspire and encourage other women of color to pursue their entrepreneurial goals.

    According to data from Forbes, here is how these businesswomen rank.

    1. Oprah Winfrey

    Net worth: $2.5 billion

    Oprah Winfrey, the talk show host turned media mogul, has a net worth of $2.5 billion, making her the wealthiest Black woman in America, according to Forbes.

    Oprah has transformed her hit talk show, which aired for 25 years, into a media and business empire. To preserve and grow her fortune over time, the leading media mogul has reinvested profits from her show, as well as profits from films like “The Color Purple,” “Beloved,” and “Selma,” into key assets and entities in the media industry.

    This year, Oprah faced some setbacks, including a decrease in her net worth from $2.6 billion at the start of the year.

    Despite these challenges, Oprah’s media empire continues to thrive, thanks to her shrewd business acumen and her determination to succeed.

    She recently earned $6.6 million from the sale of her Montecito estate in California, which she had purchased for $10.5 million just a year ago.

    2. Robyn “Rihanna” Fenty

    Net worth: $1.4 billion

    Robyn “Rihanna” Fenty is a successful musician and entrepreneur with a net worth of $1.4 billion. She is the second-richest Black woman in the United States. However, her net worth has declined by $300 million since the beginning of the year, going from $1.7 billion to $1.4 billion.

    Fenty’s main source of wealth is her cosmetics company, Fenty Beauty, which she launched in collaboration with LVMH Mot Hennessy Louis Vuitton in 2017.

    The company sells makeup and skincare products on Sephora shelves and online to more than 150 countries, and is expected to bring in over $550 million in revenue in 2020.

    In addition to Fenty Beauty, Rihanna has recently filed two applications for Fenty Hair with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, indicating her plans to launch a haircare line under the Fenty brand.

    The Fenty Hair collection will include a range of accessories such as hairbands, bows, clips, ribbons, scrunchies, wigs, curlers, pins, brushes, and combs, further expanding the Fenty brand’s presence in the fashion and cosmetics industries.

    In 2019, Howroyd released her second book, “Acting Up,” in which she shared her advice for conquering the business world. Her net worth has increased significantly from $285 million in 2020 to its present value of $630 million.

    In November 2022, Beyonce received nine new Grammy nominations, bringing her lifetime total to 88 and tying the record for the most nominations in Grammy history. She shares this record with her husband, further solidifying her place as a dominant force in the music industry.

    Grede was raised in East London by a single mother and began working a paper route at the age of 12, saving her earnings to buy fashion magazines. She later founded fashion and entertainment marketing agency ITB Worldwide in 2008 and became the first Black woman to serve as an investor on the popular ABC series Shark Tank.

    Serena Williams, one of the most successful and wealthy Black women in America, has a net worth of $260 million. Williams is also widely regarded as one of the greatest female tennis players of all time, having earned over $94 million in career prize money.

    However, Williams’ success extends beyond her achievements on the tennis court. She has also made smart investments through her firm, Serena Ventures, which has invested in over 60 startups.

Recently, Williams launched a new company called Will Perform as part of her efforts to enter the booming sports recovery industry. This industry includes both large and small-scale stakeholders, such as wellness centers, sports recovery spas, and gyms.

    Since appearing on Forbes’ annual list of America’s Richest Self-Made Women in 2019, Williams’ net worth has increased by $20 million, from $240 million at the start of the year to $260 million at present.

    But it was she who got the last laugh.

I don’t know where you’re at – probably with some girl. I hope you get home quickly because we’re progressing on the spectrum of cheap to expensive.’” Needless to say, the engagement was called off and the couple called it quits.

  • Kim Kardashian slammed for hanging with Tristan for ‘Friendsgiving’

    Kim Kardashian is being criticized for hanging out with her sister Khloé Kardashian’s cheating ex Tristan Thompson

    Nobody messes with the Kardashian family and gets away with it — except Tristan Thompson, it seems.

    Kim Kardashian came under fire for hanging out with her sister Khloé Kardashian’s cheating ex at a Thanksgiving celebration this week.

    The Skims founder, 42, posted on Instagram on Thursday that she and Thompson, 31, recently visited a Los Angeles juvenile detention facility to dine with young men ahead of the holiday.

    “This year I’m really thankful for the people I have met in all of the prisons around the country,” she captioned a series of snaps from the event. “This week @realtristan13 and I had an inspiring Friendsgiving dinner with the young men incarcerated at Camp Kilpatrick.”

    Kim added, “These young men have earned their way to this model camp in Malibu for great behavior. Many are in college classes and have made huge changes in their life.”

    “My favorite part at our dinner was going around the table and hearing what their dreams and aspirations are,” she concluded. “I can’t wait to see them all come true.”

    Despite the wholesome post — which featured a series of pics of the group sharing a meal — fans were quick to criticize Thompson’s presence in the comments section.

    “Why are u doing this with Tristan after what he did to ur sister? Please make it make sense,” one person wrote.

    Another follower commented, “Kim what we aren’t going to do is make Tristan the enemy and then try to give him his redemption arc . Blur his face out lol.”

    A third hilariously chimed in, “I see they finally put Tristan in jail.”

    The NBA player, who shares 4-year-old daughter True and a 3-month-old son with Khloé, cheated on her multiple times throughout their relationship.

    Thompson was first caught being unfaithful to the Good American founder, 38, the weekend before she welcomed their daughter, True, in April 2018.

    After Khloé forgave him, he was then seen getting cozy with Kylie Jenner’s former best friend Jordyn Woods at a party.

    Most recently, Thompson fathered a child with a woman named Maralee Nichols, conceiving the baby on the same weekend that Khloé threw him a 30th birthday party.

    He initially denied being the father of Nichols’ son and even appeared to threaten her over child support.

    However, DNA proved that he was the father and baby Theo was born on Dec. 1, 2021.

    The revelation seemingly caused Thompson and Khloé’s relationship to end for good, but the former couple continue to co-parent their children closely.

  • Khloe Kardashian has ‘rare’ tumour removed from face

    Khloe Kardashian has revealed she’s had an “incredibly rare” tumour removed from her face.

    The 38-year-old explained on her Instagram Story that a “small bump” was treated, once she noticed it “was not budging” after seven months.

    Khloe was told by doctors she would “need to have an immediate operation”.

    She said she shared her experience after seeing “numerous stories” about the “ever-evolving bandage on my face”.

    The reality TV star added she hoped it would encourage others to visit the doctor if they noticed changes in their skin.

    Khloe said she was “grateful” it was caught early

    She is now in the “healing process” and joked that fans could “enjoy how fabulous I’m making these face bandages look”.

    Khloe previously had an operation to remove melanoma – a type of skin cancer – when she was 19.

    “I had melanoma on my back, and I had a surgery to remove that as well so I am pre-composed to melanomas.”

    She urged people to be cautious and “checking all the time”.

    “I am someone who wears sunscreen every single day, religiously so no one is exempt from these things. Please take this seriously and do regular self-exams as well as your annual check-ups.”

    What is melanoma?

    • Not the most common or only type of skin cancer, but one of the most serious. Left untreated, it can spread to other organs in the body
    • About 16,700 people a year are diagnosed with it
    • Caused by abnormal skin cells that grow out of control due to DNA damage. Intense exposure to UV can trigger this damage
    • Dr Bav Shergill, of the British Association of Dermatologists, said: “While melanoma is much more common in older people, it does occur in young people. In fact, skin cancer is one of the most common forms of cancer for teenagers and young adults to be diagnosed with”
    • If you are concerned by a mole or changes to your skin, you should contact your doctor immediately. If moles are itchy or bleed or have irregular shapes, these are warning signs
    • Most melanomas appear in places you can see, however some can occur in areas such as your nose, mouth, anus, and vagina

  • Khloe Kardashian: Get checked, she urges fans after ‘incredibly rare’ tumour she thought was a spot removed from face

    Since she has a history of melanoma, the reality star and younger sister of Kim and Kourtney revealed details of having a tumour removed from her face and urged followers to check their skin.  “I am someone who wears sunscreen every single day, religiously, so no one is exempt.”

    Khloe Kardashian revealed she has had a “rare” tumour removed from her face after speculation over a covering she had been wearing.

    The reality star said she initially thought the “small bump” was “something as minor as a zit”, but made the decision to have a biopsy after it failed to go down after seven months.

    Dermatologists told her the lump was “incredibly rare for someone my age”, Kardashian wrote on Instagram, and said she needed an “immediate operation”.

    She said she wanted to share the details to encourage fans to check their skin, adding that she has a history of melanoma.

    The star said she was operated on by Dr Garth Fischer, “one of the best surgeons in Beverly Hills who I knew would take incredible care of my face”.

    She continued: “I’m grateful to share that Dr Fischer was able to get everything – all my margins appear clear and now we are on to the healing process. So, here we are… you’ll continue to see my bandages and when I’m allowed, you’ll probably see a scar (and an indention in my cheek from the tumour is removed) but until then I hope you enjoy how fabulous I’m making these face bandages look.”

    Khloe, 38, is the younger sister of Kim and Kourtney Kardashian, known for appearing in the reality show Keeping Up With The Kardashians, and now simply The Kardashians, with her famous family. She is also a founder of the Good American “body acceptance” clothing brand.

    Encouraging her 276 million Instagram followers to check their skin, she wrote: “At 19 years old, I had melanoma on my back, and I had surgery to remove that as well, so I am pre-composed to melanomas. Even those who are not, we should be checking all the time.

    “I am someone who wears sunscreen every single day, religiously, so no one is exempt from these things. Please take this seriously and do regular self-exams as well as your annual check-ups.”

    Kardashian said she was “so grateful” it was caught early: “I was lucky and all I have is a scar to tell the story with. Most people aren’t as lucky as me and I am forever thankful and grateful.”

    Khloe Kardashian shared details of having a tumour removed on Instagram

    The star was examined by dermatologists Tess Mauricio and Daniel Behroozan.

    In an interview with E! News, Dr Mauricio said that although Kardashian was not diagnosed with melanoma or any other form of skin cancer this time, “if it was left there, it’s possible”.

    She continued: “Khloe has a history of melanoma, so there’s already heightened awareness of risk. Once you’ve had skin cancer, your risk for developing future ones increases.

    “For patients like her, surveillance is key. If you don’t have a history of skin cancer, make it part of your yearly check-up. If you’ve had skin cancer and they’ve done surgery, and they say borders are clear and you’re good, every six months is suggested.”
