It might be time for Luann de Lesseps to invite Kim Kardashian to join her cabaret show.
The Real Housewives of New York City alum chimed in with her thoughts after many social media users compared the Keeping Up With the Kardashians star's 2025 Met Gala fashion to the 59-year-old's cabaret look.
After one fan quipped on X (formerly Twitter) May 6, 'Kim paying homage to @CountessLuann was my favorite part of #MetGala last night,' Luann responded to the post with several laugh-crying emojis.
The countess also shared multiple Instagram Stories of fans comparing Kim's look to hers, showing her hysterical reaction throughout. She even gave a shoutout to Philip Treacy, from whom she gets her cabaret hats.
'It's no secret I love my @philiptreacy hats,' Luann wrote on her Instagram Story May 6 alongside a side-by-side comparison of herself and Kim. 'After all darlings, he was the hatter for the Queen of England.'

For her part, Kim—who was styled by Jahleel Weaver and donned a black leather dress by Chrome Hearts with a matching black hat by Stephen Jones Millinery, as well as multiple Moussaieff diamond necklaces across her chest with sparkling earrings to match—has not chimed in on the comparisons.
Instead, she opted to name musicians Lenny Kravitz, Jimi Hendrix and Miles Davis as inspirations for the look she chose to meet the 'Superfine: Tailoring Black Style' theme's 'Tailored for You' dress code.
Paul Zimmerman/Shutterstock;'Inspired by Lenny Kravitz, a modern dandy whose fluid, bold aesthetic, alongside icons like Jimi Hendrix and Miles Davis, pioneered distinct and culturally significant aesthetics - shaping the way men dress for generations to come,' the SKIMS founder wrote in a May 6 Instagram post. 'Lenny's signature Chrome Hearts style perfectly captures the spirit of this theme - Black style, razor-sharp tailoring, and dandy tradition.'

Another Year of Romance, with a Dark Twist, Circana BookScan Reports
CHICAGO, IL, June 06, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The market for romance books has been growing since 2021 and remains hot, according to Circana, LLC. In the U.S., year-to-date print sales for romance books are up 24%, versus the same period last year. The volume for romance books has more than doubled compared to four years ago, with 51 million units sold in the past 12 months. Circana BookScan data reveals that romance stands out among the adult fiction subjects showing the most growth in 2025. In fact, romance is the leading growth category for the total print book market thus far in 2025. Fastest growing romance subjects include romantasy and sports romance, each experiencing triple-digit growth, as well as suspense romance and contemporary romance. Romance readers are particularly desirable for the book industry. According to the latest findings from Circana's Future of™ Books study, 26% of romance book buyers report that they are reading 'much more' compared to a year ago – a behavior that is contributing to the growth for romance book sales. While Rebecca Yarros' latest release Onyx Storm – the fastest selling adult title in its opening week, in the 20-year history of BookScan – is a key factor in the romance sales growth, a lot of activity is happening beyond one major author. Even when excluding Yarros from the romance market, the category is still showing double-digit growth. H.D. Carlton, Rina Kent, and Elsie Silver are among the top growing romance authors this year. One key similarity among them is that their stories explore dark romance, including paranormal and anti-hero themes. A desire for dark subjects is surfacing within the romance book market. This trend aligns with other growing segments in adult fiction including psychological thrillers (+29%), dark fantasy (+23%), and horror (+13%). 'This year, I am watching a shift away from rosier romance subjects like romantic comedy and new adult romance in favor of authors and titles with darker themes,' said Brenna Connor, U.S. books industry analyst at Circana. 'Combined with the growth in other more intense fiction subjects like horror and dystopian, a new trend has emerged that's marked by darker escapist themes. These subject matters provide an outlet for readers to safely explore negative emotions such as sadness, anger, or anxiety – allowing them to feel connected and perhaps even comforted. I expect to see continued interest in these darker subjects in the year ahead.'

Kim Kardashian Turns Heads With Bizarre Courthouse Behavior
Kim Kardashian Turns Heads With Bizarre Courthouse Behavior originally appeared on Parade. If there's one thing the Kardashians know how to do, it's how to make lemonade out of lemons. After all, they first sprung to fame after the release of Kim Kardashian's infamous sex tape, which happened to coincide with the launch of their long-running reality show, Keeping Up With the Kardashians. The rest, as they say, is history. Back in 2016, the most famous Kardashian was robbed at gunpoint in Paris—a traumatic event for anybody, to say the least. Now, Kim has found herself back in the French city to testify at the trial of the so-called "grandpa gang" who robbed her. But her behavior outside the courthouse has gotten people talking. In true Kardashian fashion, the family is apparently aiming to make lemonade out of Kim's horrific robbery. According to Radar Online, the reality star showed up to court with a "full entourage" that included an entire camera crew. "Her team was constantly asking where they could set up for confessionals between breaks," a source told Radar. "It was like a scene from Law & Order: The Kardashians." It appears that we'll get to see the trial play out from the inside on the next season of the family's Hulu reality show. Reportedly, the massive entourage made French court officials "uncomfortable." While the behavior may seem odd to outsiders, it's not exactly surprising. After all, Kim has been accused of calling the paparazzi on herself several times. "Let's be honest," another source told Radar, "everything is content for Kim." Putting content and media buzz aside, a family insider insisted this was simply Kim's way of taking back power over the situation. "This was one of the darkest times in her life," they explained. "If sharing it helps someone, or adds ratings, she's going to do it." In another victory for Kim, eight of the ten people tried were found guilty. Kim Kardashian Turns Heads With Bizarre Courthouse Behavior first appeared on Parade on Jun 2, 2025 This story was originally reported by Parade on Jun 2, 2025, where it first appeared.

As LIV arrives in Virginia, Bryson DeChambeau is its entertainer-in-chief
Bryson DeChambeau's relentless devotion to his craft has become the stuff of legend among peers, who describe the LIV Golf star's work habits as near maniacal. Even when not on the range, the self-proclaimed perfection seeker often is assessing how he can elevate his practice regimen. That attention to preparation and execution has contributed to DeChambeau's two U.S. Open titles, including last year at Pinehurst. It hasn't, however, interfered with another responsibility DeChambeau embraces with similar gusto. As much as winning occupies a wide berth in his headspace, so, too, does being a showman. Forays into that realm have transformed the renegade from the PGA Tour, where he had been a divisive figure, into a social media sensation, with millions of followers on TikTok and Instagram. His YouTube channel has north of 2 million subscribers. DeChambeau's visibility on such platforms is virtually unmatched in the sport. 'Did I ever think it would get this big?' he said during a pretournament news conference ahead of this week's LIV event at Robert Trent Jones Golf Club in Gainesville, Virginia. 'I had no clue. I really had no idea. Is it now an incredible responsibility? Yes, and I understand that. I want to continue to entertain my fans and continue to play the great game of golf that we all love at the highest level. 'I want to compete, and I want to entertain. Those are the two things I love doing, and it's quite an honor.' Count the president of the United States among his admirers. Earlier this week, DeChambeau visited the White House and, at the urging of President Donald Trump, hit balls on the South Lawn, turning the swath of property into a makeshift par-3. A video of the moment posted by an official White House account on X has been viewed close to 900,000 times. Another viral moment came when DeChambeau traveled to Utah, where he posted to his YouTube channel a video with the tongue-in-cheek title, 'Day in the life of a recreational golfer …' Highlights included flying in a helicopter to a mountain range to hit balls and doing the same at the Bonneville Salt Flats several hours west of Provo. The 63-second clip has generated almost 1 million views. One of DeChambeau's most viewed TikTok videos came in November, five months after outlasting Rory McIlroy by one stroke at the U.S. Open. In the post, which has garnered 1.5 million likes, DeChambeau used a wedge to hit over the roof of his home onto a green in his backyard, needing 134 swings before collecting an ace that triggered a cap-tossing celebratory sprint to retrieve the ball. 'I've always seen this side of him, this playful, fun side, intelligent side, interesting side of him,' said Phil Mickelson, the six-time major champion who departed the PGA Tour for LIV three years ago. 'Since he has really dove into the YouTube space, now everybody gets to see it because he's able to showcase that and not have it filtered by a middle person. … It's been remarkable to see the evolution of that and the way the public has responded to him, because he's always been like that. It just hasn't been able to get noticed, I guess, properly.' Still, the mere mention of DeChambeau can roil PGA Tour loyalists. Some have cast him as a turncoat since he bailed for the Saudi-financed circuit that seeks to disrupt traditional golf norms with 54-hole tournaments in which there are no cuts and team as well as individual competitions. DeChambeau sparked more controversy at this year's Masters after telling reporters that McIlroy, who won his first green jacket to complete a career grand slam, did not speak with him while they played together during the closing round. McIlroy's sports psychologist, the famed Bob Rotella, indicated during a subsequent radio interview with the BBC that the decision not to engage with DeChambeau was strategic and not intended as a personal slight. Also in the aftermath, Padraig Harrington, a three-time major winner, and analyst Brandel Chamblee were critical of DeChambeau. None of that has mattered to DeChambeau's legion of fans who clamor for his autograph at tournaments. DeChambeau reciprocates by signing and posing for pictures before and after each round. He said he plans more of the same this week while also getting his game and mind right for next week's U.S. Open at Oakmont, among the most demanding venues that have hosted the tournament. DeChambeau is aiming to become the first back-to-back winner at the U.S. Open since Brooks Koepka, also on the LIV tour, did so in 2017 and 2018. 'I feel like Bryson is somebody that changes and tries new things every time, which I feel like there's nothing wrong with that,' said Joaquín Niemann, who leads the individual LIV standings, with DeChambeau second. 'You can learn a lot from new experiences. Obviously, he's different. He's way different than me, way different than anybody. The way he approaches the game is completely different, which I feel like is unique, and in his way, it works for him.'
