The Kardashian-Jenners hilariously impersonate each other

Keeping Up With the Kardashians went out with a bang, closing out their 17th season with a fun finale that saw the family dress up as one another for a role-switching costume dinner party.

In a move that felt like when a sitcom decides to do a musical episode or tell a story in reverse order -- just to add some fresh life to a series -- KUWTK went a hilarious direction that gave fans a fun, cathartic send-off for this dramatic season.

Amid the family's on-going feud between Kim, Khloe and Kourtney, they all decided to come together for a family trip to Wyoming, where Kris Jenner had a bunch of family bonding and team-building exercises to smooth things over.


While it didn't go great, for the most part -- Kourtney still clashed with her sisters over the pressures of being on the show, and then threatened to take her kids and leave the trip early -- the final dinner saw the family make one last-ditch therapeutic attempt at finding harmony.

"My mom had this crazy idea for one last final team building activity," Kourtney explained. "She thought it'd be really funny just to each come to dinner tonight dressed as a different family member."

Like extreme role-playing in a mediation meeting, each of the Kardashian-Jenner family members came with some shocking spot-on impressions of one another -- complete in full costume -- for one of the funniest scenes of the season.

Kris Jenner came to the table decked out in a blonde wig to play her daughter, Khloe, while Khloe herself donned a short black wig and bold eye shadow to essentially become her momager.

Meanwhile, Kourtney and Kim seemed to try and work out some of their issues by swapping places as well.

Kourtney, to get into character as Kim, rocked a revealing black number and giant sunglasses, before poking fun of what she sees as the KKW Beauty mogul's arrogance about the family's fame.

"I pretty much started this entire family," Kourtney, as Kim, explained with deadpan precision. "No one would be anywhere or anything without me."

Kim was quick to get back at Kourtney, mocking her sister's propensity for bringing up that she's a mother of three and wanting to spend time with her kids.

"I'm late to dinner because I'm a mom and I can be late doing mom things," Kim, as Kourntey, said, later joking that she is "using the mom card every second," and therefore doesn't have to be as involved with filming.


Meanwhile, Kendall Jenner rocked a long pink wig to hilariously mock her sister, Kylie, and also gives some amazing spot-on impressions of Kylie's famous make-up tutorials.

In fact, Kourtney's 7-year-old daughter, Penelope, also did her best Kylie impression, donning blue lipstick and a blue wig, and she delivered one of the best jokes of the whole dinner, explaining, "I can buy Kim and Kourtney because I have that much money."


While the impressions walked a fine line between good-natured ribbing and meanness, Kourtney seemed to have a good time and was reminded of why she had a lot of good memories attached to the show in the first place.

Hallmark finally apologises for pulling same-sex ads

The chief executive of Hallmark Cards has apologised for its decision to withdraw television advertisements featuring same-sex couples.

The company's cable network pulled the ads for wedding registry and planning site Zola under pressure from the conservative group One Million Moms.

The decision drew criticism on social media and calls for a boycott.

Hallmark said it would reinstate the adverts and attempt to re-establish its partnership with Zola.


"We are truly sorry for the hurt and disappointment this has caused," Hallmark's president and chief executive Mike Perry said.

In a statement posted to its website, Hallmark said it would "be working with [advocacy group] Glaad to better represent the LGBTQ community across our portfolio of brands."

The original decision to withdraw the adverts drew criticism from a number of high-profile gay figures, including Democratic presidential contender Pete Buttigieg and talk show host Ellen DeGeneres.

Protests erupt across India over citizenship law

Protests over a controversial new law on migrants are raging across several Indian cities, prompting police to clash with demonstrators.

The new law entitles non-Muslim migrants from three Muslim-majority countries to citizenship if they are facing religious persecution.

Police used tear gas and detained protesters in the capital Delhi as buses were torched and roads blocked.

Protests have raged across northern and eastern India since the law was passed.


Internet services have been shut down in several cities where protests are taking place. Universities across the country have resumed demonstrations on Monday.

A massive demonstration against the law has also begun in West Bengal state, led by Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee and her ruling Trinamool Congress party.

Tens of thousands of people are expected to participate.

37 year-old man kills self, leaves behind a 6-page suicide note

Economic hardship, deteriorating health, neglect by his family and friends and spending days on an empty stomach are some of the reasons 37-year-old Kelvin Majiwa, a Mombasa resident, Kenya gave for committing suicide.

Majiwa, a bachelor, fatally hanged himself in his rented house at Zamzam area in Likoni on Friday, December 13. On a table in his room, he placed a six-page suicide note justifying his death ideation.

The deceased, who had a chronic disease, accused his brother, sisters and most of his friends of “abandoning him in his hour of need”.


He said — in the letter written in an A4 notebook– that since he got sick, he never had any close family member or crony to turn to while seeking food and money for treatment.

Majiwa said: “My brother and sisters have a lot of money to spend for the holidays, yet I am here languishing under disease and malnutrition”.

The deceased vowed to haunt his siblings, saying “they will never know peace for neglecting me”.

In the note, Majiwa claimed that his brother sold their family land in Migori, and he [brother] never allocated even a single coin for his treatment.

“[My friend] Hamisi can tell you that my family is uncooperative. They have never supported me since I got sick. When I was employed, and had money, I spent at least Ksh60, 000 on my brother’s house rent. After losing the job, and becoming ill, he refused to assist me. I remember he even declined to help me with Ksh500 for a hemoglobin test,” lamented Majiwa in the note.


According to the deceased, his brother blatantly refused to come to his rescue despite having a well-paying job.

In his letter, Majiwa listed some of his friends, who helped him while he was ailing.

One of Majiwa’s friends, George Oduor, told K24 Digital that the 37-year-old “died a bitter man”.

“During his days of good health, Majiwa was extremely generous and kind,” said Oduor.

“He lost hope in life the moment he lost his job, and when his subsequent attempts to seek financial help from his family bore no fruit,” added Oduor.

In his suicide note, Majiwa also listed the owner of a local restaurant as some of the people who came to his aid in his hour of need.

“I thank him for giving me food at no cost when he learnt of my situation,” said Majiwa.

Likoni Sub-County police commander, Jane Munywoki, said Majiwa’s body was taken to Coast Provincial General Hospital morgue.

Robbers nabbed for stealing patients’ belongings in hospital (photo)

The Ogun State Police Command, on Sunday, said it had arrested three members of a robbery syndicate for allegedly dispossessing patients at a private hospital on Omolaja Odunbaku Street, Oremeji, Ibafo, in the Obafemi-Owode Local Government Area of the state, of their valuables.

The Police Public Relations Officer in the state, Abimbola Oyeyemi, disclosed this in a statement in Abeokuta.

Oyeyemi said the suspects, Folarin Azeez, 25; Temitope Bolariwa, 24; and Kolade Ahmed, 30, had on December 7, 2019, invaded the hospital and robbed patients of their belongings such as phones and wristwatches, among others.


He said the suspects were arrested five days after they allegedly committed the crime.

Oyeyemi explained that the suspects, who escaped into a nearby bush, were later apprehended in the Shimawa area of the state.

He added that 12 different types of android and iPhones as well as wristwatches, which the victims later identified as theirs, were recovered from the suspects.

Oyeyemi stated, “Three members of a robbery syndicate were on December 12, 2019, arrested by men of the Ogun State Police Command for carrying out a robbery in a hospital on Omolaja Odunbaku Street, Oremeji area of Ibafo in the Obafemi Owode Local Government Area of the state.

“The suspects were arrested following a distress call received by the police emergency centre on December 7, 2019, that armed robbers had invaded the Riverside Hospital and dispossessed the   patients of their belongings.

“On receiving the distress call, the DPO, Ibafo, SP Abiodun Ayinde, led his anti-robbery team to the scene, where the suspects, on sighting the policemen, escaped through the nearby bush.

“The police didn’t relent in their efforts to apprehend the hoodlums and their efforts paid off on December 12, 2019, when intelligence investigation revealed that the hoodlums were hibernating somewhere in the Shimawa area.

“The DPO and his operatives moved to the area, where the three suspects were subsequently apprehended.

“Recovered from them were 12 different types of android and iPhones as well as wristwatches, which the victims later identified as their stolen belongings.

“While investigation was ongoing, the command got information about the earlier robbery escapades of the suspects somewhere in Osun State.”

The PPRO said the Ogun State Commissioner of Police, Kenneth Ebrimson, had ordered the immediate transfer of the suspects to the Special Anti-Robbery Squad for an in depth investigation into their various robbery activities.

“The CP also warned that any criminal, who choses to come to Ogun State with the intention to perpetrate any form of crime, will have himself or herself to blame as the command is ready to take the battle to the doorstep of the criminals,” Oyeyemi added.

Online lover, accomplice dupe Osun woman of N1.2m

One AbdulSobur Katayeyanjue was, on Friday, arraigned before an Osogbo Chief Magistrates’ Court, for fraudulently obtaining the sum of N1.2m from a woman, Oluremi Lawal.

The 23-year old Katayeyanjue appeared before Magistrate Olusegun Ayilara on four counts of pretence, fraud, stealing and conspiracy.

Katayeyanjue and others yet to be apprehended allegedly perpetrated the crime sometime in June this year.

Responding to questions from the court, the complainant, Oluremi, explained that she met one Olamide Adegoke on the social media and they engaged in a relationship.


She said not long after, she received a call from Katayeyanjue, who informed her that her lover was involved in a motorcycle accident and needed money to settle the hospital bills.

Oluremi stated, “I met Adegoke online and he was pretending to be caring and loving. Not long after, I received a call that he was involved in a motorcycle accident and that he needed money for treatment.

“The person, who called me, happens to be Katayeyanjue, who pretended to be a police officer from the Adigbe Police Station in Abeokuta, Ogun State. He told me that he checked Adegoke’s phone and found a number saved with ‘My love’ and that the number turned out to be mine.”

The police prosecutor, John Idoko, said Katayeyanjue conspired with others at large in June 2019 in Osogbo to commit the crime.

He explained that the defendant obtained the sum of N1.2m from Oluremi on the pretext that he would spend it on the treatment of the accident victim.

The offences, according to him, contravene sections 422, 419, 516 and 390 (9) of the Criminal Code, Cap 34 Voll. II, Laws of Osun State of Nigeria, 2002.

The defendant pleaded not guilty to the charges.

The defence counsel, A. O. Emmanuel, said his client had been granted an administrative bail by the police.

Magistrate Ayilara, however, directed that Emmanuel should file a former bail application for his client.

He remanded the defendant in a correctional centre and adjourned the matter till January 17, 2020, for hearing.

17 year-old girl dies from deadly 'kissing disease'

A teenage girl died from 'kissing disease' after doctors wrongly believed she was having a stroke.

Ariana Rae Delfs, from Jacksonville in Florida, US, experienced cold-like symptoms and constant headaches three weeks ago and had visited several doctors.

The 17-year-old underwent a number of tests, including one for mononucleosis, also known as the kissing disease, but doctors were unable to tell what's wrong.

According to CBS-47 , father Mark Delfs said Ariana's condition deteriorated that he had to rush her to hospital.


He explained: "She got up to got to the bathroom, all of a sudden she couldn't feel part of her legs, and she felt like her legs were giving out.

"Her words were very slurred at times. She was just talking gibberish, and the damage was already beginning at that point."

Doctors diagnosed Ariana with mononucleosis, often called mono, which is caused by the Epstein-Barr virus that can be commonly spread through saliva and other bodily fluids.

The virus has unfortunately caused inflammation in Ariana's brain.

Mark added: "Her brain swelled to the point where it couldn't function and brain damage did occur. And we just made the decision that it was time to let her go."

Britain's most married man calls off wedding number nine to woman he's never met

Britain's most married man has called off his engagement to wife number nine - claiming it just "didn't feel right".

Lothario Ron Sheppard, 71, proposed to Rose Hans, 30, last month after a year-long romance - even though the pair had never met.

The dad-of-eight had hoped to tie the knot with American after she had completed a nursing course in Ghana, nearly 5,000 miles away.

But the retired entertainments manager has now revealed that he pulled the plug on the upcoming nuptials via email - and at the last minute.

Ron, from Somerton, Somerset, said: "We were supposed to meet on Friday. It didn't feel like the right thing for me to do - especially when you don't really love someone.

She was doing all the pushing. It didn't feel right in my heart. My love was always in a different place.

"Of course, she was upset and all that - but I expected a pleading email and I didn't get that. She said she couldn't take phone calls as she's in Ghana."

Gutted Ron has said he now plans to write a book about relationships - as he "has experience".

Elton John and journalist Molly Meldrum end long-standing Madonna feud

Elton John and journalist Molly Meldrum have finally put their long-standing feud to rest.

They fell out in 2012 after Elton John criticised Madonna while being interviewed by Molly.

The footage was not supposed to have aired, as Elton believed he was off the record when he called Madonna a "fairground stripper" and a "nightmare".

He also said she had been "horrible" to Lady Gaga, who is the godmother to one of his sons.


But the interview was broadcast, which angered Elton who blamed Molly for the controversy his comments caused.

After seven years, Molly told the Herald Sun Confidential the former friends had a "lovely" conversation backstage before Elton's Farewell Yellow Brick Road Tour at Rod Laver Arena in Melbourne.

He said: "It was just Elton and I, talking about the old days and our wonderful friendship."

'We talked about when we first met, all the things we've been through, and how important our friendship is."

He added he assured Elton the "interview thing" - which appeared to be referring to Elton's comments about Madonna - was not his fault.

Elton then made a speech on stage announcing their reconciliation.

He told the audience: "We've had tears, we've had laughter, but we've had a friendship that's lasted so long.

"I don't think anyone has done more for music in Australia than Molly Meldrum.

"Molly, I love you, I thank you dearly for everything you've done for me. Bless you."

Police arrest ex-boyfriend of murdered Rivers varsity student

The Rivers State Police Command has arrested one suspect in connection with the gruesome murder of a 500-level Law student of the Rivers State University, Miss Matilda Mark Itonyo.

The suspect, whose name was withheld by the police, was only identified as a former boyfriend of the murdered student.

It was gathered that the police had in the early hours of Saturday tracked the suspect to his house in Port Harcourt before taking him away to the State Criminal Investigation Department.

The 24-year-old Matilda was stabbed several times in the neck and head by her assailant(s) at her private apartment outside the university campus.


The killers were said to have broken into her room in the early hours of Tuesday and allegedly raped her before snuffing life out of her.

The incident, according to sources, forced some of her course mates to shun classes when they got wind of the incident.

Confirming the arrest of the suspect, the state Police Public Relations Officer, Mr Nnamdi Omoni, explained that he was apprehended for interrogation in connection with Matilda’s murder.

He stated, “We cannot say that we have arrested the killer of the student. He was only arrested for interrogation and at the end, if he is found culpable, he will be prosecuted. But if he is innocent, he will be allowed to go.

“Yes, the suspect is the former boyfriend of the late student. He was arrested on Saturday morning after being tracked to his residence.”

The father of the deceased, Mr Ebikene Itonyo, told Punch correspondent that he rushed to the state CID when he learnt that a suspect had been arrested.

Ebikene called on the police not to relent in their efforts to fish out the killers of his daughter and bring them to justice.

“I was at the state CID. I rushed to the place when I was told that one of the suspects had been arrested. We know that the suspect will deny, but I think the police must have seen some certain things that made them to arrest him,” Ebikene added.

Disgraced Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein cries out 'my work has been forgotten'

Well blame you d--k! Disgraced Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein has given an astonishing interview just weeks before he is due to stand trial.

The former film boss, 67, is accused of five counts of rape and sexual assault.

He could be jailed for life if convicted on all charges. Last week he reached out-of-court settlements with an unnamed number of people.

But now he has made the controversial decision to talk to PageSix ahead of the case in the New Year.


He complained: “I made more movies directed by women and about women than any filmmaker, and I’m talking about 30 years ago.

"I’m not talking about now when it’s vogue. I did it first! I pioneered it!

“It all got eviscerated because of what happened. My work has been forgotten.’’

Weinstein was reduced to releasing a hospital photo last weekend in an attempt to distance himself from rumours he is faking illness.

The 67-year-old was in court last week using a walking frame to help him keep his balance.

But some have accused the fallen star of trying to gain sympathy.

The movie mogul's trial is due to start on January 6.

Tamara Ecclestone's mansion raided# as thieves snatch '£50million of jewellery'

Tamara Ecclestone's 'Billionaire Row' mansion has been raided by thieves who reportedly pinched £50million worth of jewellery.

The F1 heiress, 35, has been left "angry" and "shaken" by the ordeal, which happened on Friday night some time before 11pm.

Tamara, who lives in the £70m London property with husband Jay Rutland and daughter Sophia, five, had left the country just hours earlier.


Every piece of jewellery in the 57-room property in Kensington, London, is said to have been pinched in the raid reported to have lasted 50 minutes, say The Sun .

Neighbours have branded the burglary "shocking". The street where Tamara lives is one of the most prestigious in the capital and is understood to have 24-hour security patrols and checkpoints.

Guards are also believed to be present at all times inside Tamara's house.

Three raiders are believed to have broken in through the garden then headed to safes hidden in a bedroom.

It is claimed they were disturbed by a security guard before fleeing with items including precious rings, earrings and an £80,000 Cartier bangle wedding gift.

Neighbourhood source said last night: “This is the most shocking burglary because it is one of the most secure houses in London on one of the most secure streets in London.

“An estimated £50million worth of jewellery has been stolen from inside Tamara’s safe and Jay’s safe.

“Whoever did this was in the house for 50 minutes in total and had time to smash open the safes that are hidden in Tamara’s dressing room and Jay’s dressing room. Neither would be easy to find.

“Every single piece of jewellery that she had in her safe has gone and some of them had such personal meaning.”

A spokesman for Tamara confirmed the burglary took place.

He said: “I can sadly confirm that there has been a home invasion. Internal security are cooperating with police in this matter.

“Tamara and family are well but obviously angry and shaken by the incident.”

Horrific moment armed robbers shoot a British father, 50, dead and injure his stepson, 28, outside a five-star hotel in Argentina

A British father has been shot dead by armed robbers who also wounded his stepson outside a five-star hotel in Argentina.

The tourist, named locally as millionaire property boss Matthew Charles Gibbard, 50, was gunned down by motorbike-riding thugs in an ambush in Buenos Aires on Saturday morning.

His stepson Stefan Joshua Zone, 28, was shot in the leg after the pair refused to hand over their luggage and tried to fight off the robbers outside the Faena Art Hotel.

CCTV footage shows one of the crooks flying off a motorcycle to tackle one of the Britons to the ground, before the other man, believed to be Mr Gibbard, bravely rushes in to kick an assailant.


There is a ferocious struggle for their bags before shots are fired by an attacker with a pistol.

A man, believed to be Mr Zone, is seen writhing in agony clutching his thigh after the first shot is seen.

Mr Gibbard can be seen attempting to grapple with one of the motorbike-riders before he too is shot and then moves off screen.

According to local media a bullet fatally passed through Mr Gibbard's right armpit and possibly penetrated his lung.

Meanwhile, Mr Zone was rushed to hospital and remains in a serious condition after he was shot in the thigh.

Mr Gibbard was head of retirement homes company Tingdene which has an annual turnover of £20million.

He was married to 52-year-old Suzanne and the family home is in Kettering, Northamptonshire.
Becky Miles, who works at local pub Snooty Fox, sobbed as she told The Sun: 'It's absolutely terrible, they are lovely people. They were regulars in the pub.

'Matt was such a beautiful, beautiful human being and a true gentleman. He did so much for the village and even put the firework display on himself

'They are a very successful family and very popular in the village.'

Three ambulances had scrambled to the scene, with one medic explaining: 'We took him to the Hospital Argerich, his condition is serious, he has serious injuries because he has had bloodshed.'
