Kim Kardashian can't sleep at night after robbery hell without huge life change
Appearing in a Paris court last month, Kim Kardashian revealed the impact of her 2016 robbery as she's had to make a huge life change to finally feel safe at night. Traumatised by her 2016 ordeal, Kim Kardashian recently revealed she "can't sleep" without a security team nearby. 'I thought I was going to die.' That's how Kim Kardashian described the moment masked intruders tied her up, gagged her and held her at gunpoint inside a luxury Paris hotel. On the night of October 2nd 2016, five men, disguised as police, stormed into her room during Fashion Week, making off with an estimated $10 million worth of jewelry (£7.5m) - including a $4 million diamond ring gifted by Kim's then-husband Kanye West - and fleeing by bicycle. But what they left behind was far more lasting: fear, trauma and a permanent scar on the life of one of the world 's most recognisable women. 'It was terrifying and life-changing and I don't wish that kind of terror on anyone - to think you could be killed or raped - I wouldn't wish that on my worst enemy,' Kim told a Paris court last May. READ MORE: Disney+ drops to £1.99 in rare deal Netflix and Amazon can't beat Now, BBC Three delivers a gripping retelling of the heist, featuring never-before-heard witness accounts from friends, police, security experts and journalists in The Kim Kardashian Diamond Heist. The documentary lays bare the brazen crime, security failures and the devastating emotional aftermath that reshaped Kim's life - from the incident itself to her confrontation with the men responsible for her trauma. Nine years after the heist, Kim told the court that 'everything changed' after that fateful night. She grew increasingly terrified of going out and said that she employs up to six people to guard her house at night. 'I can't even sleep at night if I know there's not multiple security,' she said. In court, Kim faced down ten men accused of planning and carrying out the robbery. Eight of them were ultimately convicted of kidnapping and violent theft, though most received mild sentences due to age or health. Ringleader Aomar Aït Khedache received an eight-year prison sentence with five-year suspended, while three other defendants - Yunis Abbas, Didier Dubreucq, and Marc-Alexandre Boyer - were sentenced to seven years, also with five years suspended. Due to these suspended sentences, none will serve any time in prison. Yunis Abbas, 71, wrote a book about the heist in 2021 and had previously served 20 years for burglary. One person was also found guilty on a weapons charge and fined, while two were acquitted. The Kim Kardashian Diamond Heist also scrutinises serious security lapses - from minimal protection in a high-profile location to the risks of real-time social media. Experts suggest Kim's lavish Instagram posts may have been a beacon to criminals. For Kim, it's time to move forward. 'This is my closure and my opportunity to put this to rest after everything I've been through,' she told the court, adding that her responsibility was to 'tell my truth and hope this doesn't happen to anyone else.'

‘Pop music can be so scared to offend': Ca7riel and Paco Amoroso, the Argentine duo subverting machismo
Over impeccable jazz-funk arrangements and Latin percussion, a man in a furry blue trapper hat raps like he's inhaled a Benson & Hedges multipack, while his partner brings lip-curling, hair-twirling attitude to his own lyrical delivery. This is Ca7riel and Paco Amoroso's Tiny Desk Concert, an online performance that turned the two Argentine vocalists into global sensations almost overnight after it came out last October. It has now racked up 36m views and Rolling Stone has called them 'the future of music'. Some eyebrows were raised, though, by the English translations of their lyrics: crude, daft, often hilarious tales of parties, sex and girls – even, accidentally, goes one punchline, the same one. 'We're always having fun and trying to confuse people,' Amoroso explains on a video call from Madrid, during a 53-date tour that includes London, Glastonbury and Japan's Fuji Rock. 'Yesss, confuse!' his co-pilot pipes up, impishly. 'Our life is like a TV show and we change in every episode. We have our meloso [schmaltz], our punky side, our rapper side.' The duo revel in 'honesty, absurdity and contradiction', they say. Some new fans lured in by their viral moment were surprised to hear that their 2024 major label debut, Baño María, was far more electronic, with Charli xcx-rivalling electro-house, airy reggaeton, and – on La Que Puede Puede – a bolshy mix of dubstep, EDM and trap. In a South America still dominated by reggaeton, Ca7riel and Paco Amoroso are proudly, even subversively, unclassifiable. That genre-hopping spirit goes way back: the pair, now both 31, met at primary school, realised they had similar surnames (Ca7riel is Catriel Guerreiro; Paco Amoroso, Ulises Guerriero) and pursued music. Ca7riel became a guitar teacher, dreaming of being the next Steve Vai; Amoroso studied violin but switched to drums – 'I wanted to be a rock star.' They tried for seven years with funk-rock band Astor, releasing a 2017 EP to little fanfare. But soon trap was sweeping the nation – and the rest of South America – via YouTube. 'We saw an opportunity to be seen by everyone,' says Amoroso. What do Argentinians do differently? 'We have no shame and no fear,' says Ca7riel. They started releasing tracks as a duo, split in 2020, and reunited in 2023, though they still perform solo tracks in their shows. They agree they're more 'fearless' as a duo and write lyrics together like it's a jam session. They're also more famous, so much so in Spain that their Tiny Desk has been parodied on national television. Ca7riel has flown his 73-year-old mother out from Buenos Aires to Spain to experience the tour, the first time she'll have seen him perform abroad. 'She can't believe it,' he says. 'It's weird to me but it's so weird to her.' You wonder what his mum made of their Madrid arena show. It flips through genres like a hyperactive TikTok feed, from funk-pop to nu-metal, and, like their Tiny Desk, they sing sitting on stools like a boyband. When he's on his feet, Ca7riel, who is also in the metal band Barro, has the strut of Freddie Mercury and a screamo howl; Amoroso, the Hansel to his Derek Zoolander. 'We are giving everything on stage,' says Amoroso. The show ends with male bodybuilders who hoist them in the air, linking to the themes of their recent release, Papota. Argentinian slang for being pumped on steroids, the EP pokes fun at the music industry and image. The song #Tetas (direct translation: tits) depicts a fictional music producer in Miami who tells them they need to get buff, sing in English and go viral on TikTok – 'to win a Latin Grammy', says Amoroso. They've felt those pressures, but are setting their sights beyond the Latin pop world and collaborating with UK electronic producer Fred Again. 'We don't make music to win Grammys,' Amoroso says. The pair amplified their gym bro satire by wearing muscle suits on a recent Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon performance. But expanding later on email, the pair suggest they have a more serious message too. 'There's definitely a pressure for Latin men, especially artists, to look like action figures. Six-pack, perfect jawline, dripping in machismo,' they say through a translator. Mocking this, they've used a 'chad filter' in their visuals, they appear naked in a hot tub on Baño María's cover and they sometimes share a kiss at the end of their stage show. 'We're not anti-body, we're anti-box,' they add. 'Pop music can be so polished, so scared to offend, but we want to poke at expectations: of masculinity, of genre, of what a Latin artist should look or sound like.' Not that they shy away from polish: #Tetas has a knowingly saccharine chorus, worthy of Backstreet Boys. It's the 'most cheesy shit' they've done, says Ca7riel. But, adds Amoroso: 'When the chords are right and the lyrics are fun, everything is possible.' Like video game avatars, they have 'a skin that we put on and we're able to change, musically and visually'. Lately they have taken to describing themselves as degenerados – not just 'degenerates' as it translates, but genre-less and gender-less too. As for Glastonbury? No word yet if they are shipping in the Chippendales but they are open to the great unwashed on Friday afternoon at West Holts. 'It's a special festival,' says Amoroso, 'and the freaks will be watching us.' 'And,' hoots Ca7riel, 'we are freaks too!'

Dallas Cowboys cheerleaders: Members get a 400% pay raise
It was revealed on the Netflix series "America's Sweethearts: Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders" when member Megan McElaney, a four-year veteran from Oceanside, California, mentioned the increase. "Our efforts were heard and they wanted to give us a raise," McElaney said, via the Associated Press. "And we ended up getting a 400% increase, which is like, life-changing." In 2019, the group fought for a raise in game rates, which doubled from $200 to $400 at the time. Former member Kristin Westbrook took to Instagram, where she revealed some of the pay structure. "When I was on the team, it was: hourly for practice [of] $15/hour," she wrote on her Instagram Stories on Saturday June 21, via US Weekly. She added that members would also get "flat fees" for various other performances. "Flat fee for appearances - $100 (x # of years on the team)," Westbrook added, pointing out that a rookie would make $100, while a second-year veteran would earn $200 and so on. Veterans and rookies are on different pay scales, with the former earning more money with more experience. The El Paso Times noted that "a veteran will see her pay increase from a reported $15 per hour to $60 per hour, and there will be many appearances by the team outside of game days." Salaries are not disclosed, but reports indicate that a veteran will make around $150,000 per year. Even though they received an increase in compensation, the group still does not receive health insurance from the team. Former cheerleader, Jada McLean, told the New York Times in an interview that she made $15 an hour and $500 for each appearance in 2024. It's been a long battle for raises from cheerleaders, who have cited concerns dealing with financial stress in recent years. They are a key component of the game day experience for many teams, giving them a unique position to negotiate from. Now that the Cowboys cheerleaders have received their raise, the hope is that the new deal will provide some financial security that was previously lacking under the old compensation package. In December 2024, Forbes listed the Cowboys as the most valuable franchise in sports at $10.1 billion. It appears their cheerleaders are now going to be paid like it.
