Kim Kardashian completes law studies without attending college
Kim Kardashian has officially completed her law studies without attending a traditional college. The reality TV star-turned aspiring lawyer announced the milestone on Instagram, celebrating the end of a demanding six-year journey during which she juggled her academics with motherhood, running multiple businesses, and life in the spotlight.The graduation ceremony was a heartfelt surprise, reportedly arranged by Kim's family and mentors, and held in a private setting with close friends and loved ones in attendance. Kim gave an emotional speech, reflecting on her non-traditional path to becoming a lawyer. 'You've all been part of this journey with me,' she said, acknowledging the support she's received since first sharing her legal aspirations.advertisementInstead of attending traditional law school, Kim chose to join California's Law Office Study Program, an alternative route that lets aspiring lawyers 'read the law' while apprenticing under a practising attorney. This approach, which is only recognised in four US states: California, Virginia, Vermont, and Washington, requires participants to complete a four-year apprenticeship at a law firm, dedicating a minimum of 18 hours per week, with at least five of those hours spent under direct supervision.
Here's a look at Kim's Instagram story: Throughout the program, monthly exams and semi-annual progress reports are required. One of Kim's mentors described her dedication as 'the most inspiring' they have ever seen, highlighting that she had completed over 5,000 hours of legal studies."She managed all of this while raising four children, managing her businesses, filming TV shows, and appearing in courtrooms to advocate for others,' they added.advertisementKim had successfully passed the Multistate Professional Responsibility Examination (MPRE), a required step before taking the California Bar exam. Her next goal is to pass the bar, which would officially license her to practice law in the state. What sparked her legal journey was a video she came across on social media that left her feeling 'dumbfounded.' Reflecting on that moment, she shared, 'I realised the system could be so much different, and I wanted to fight to change it.'Kim Kardashian recently featured in Ryan Murphy's legal drama, 'All's Fair', which premiered on Hulu in February.Must Watch

Kim Soo Hyun's loses luxury apartment as he fails to pay penalty fee, a day after winning court order to seize Kim Se Ui's properties
Kim Soo Hyun has reportedly lost one of his three luxury apartments after failing to pay the penalty fee to an advertiser identified as Classys. The move came just a day after his agency, Gold Medalist, secured a court order to seize YouTuber Kim Se Ui's two apartments located in Seocho-dong's Byuksan Blooming Complex and Hanyang 4th Complex. The total claim, worth 4 billion won ($2.9 million), was aimed at covering damages caused by Garos Sero's allegations about Soo Hyun's alleged inappropriate relationship with the late Kim Sae Ron, claims that led to him losing brand deals and having multiple K-drama projects put on hold. Also read: Kim Soo Hyun scores first big win: YouTuber Kim Se Ui's properties seized, Tzuyang case reopened, arrest warrant looms if he skips summons Kim Soo Hyun loses luxury apartment On June 12, K-media outlet Maeil Kyungje reported a statement from Kim Soo Hyun's legal counsel confirming that renowned cosmetics and skincare company Classys had seized one of his apartments. The Queen of Tears star had purchased three apartments at the Galleria Forêt complex back in 2013 and 2014. Classys filed a lawsuit demanding ₩3.00 billion KRW (about $2.19 million USD) in penalties after cutting ties with the actor following the Kim Sae Ron controversy. Reportedly, two more advertisers are expected to follow with similar legal moves. While his one-man agency likely has little say in the matter, his legal team has called the seizure unjustified. Labelling Soo Hyun as a victim of Garos Sero, who himself is on the verge of facing police summons in connection with another reopened case involving YouTuber Tzuyang, the counsel admitted that while the advertisers who signed the actor may be suffering financially, the real blame should fall on Kim Se Ui. Classys reportedly filed the case on May 8, and Seoul Eastern Court approved the seizure order on May 20. Also read: Kim Soo Hyun's global rebranding begins amid 50K+ demanding GaroSero crackdown On June 12, Kim's legal team, LKB & Partners, confirmed that they are moving forward with two more seizure orders currently in process. The firm also stated that Kim is directly listed as a creditor in the 'provisional seizure of Garo Sero Institute Co., Ltd.'s corporate sponsorship bank account,' according to Koreaboo. This makes him a direct participant in the whistleblower case, where the accused is facing multiple charges, defamation, privacy breach, stalking, and spreading malicious claims backed by fabricated evidence. When pressed by media on why Kim was listed as a creditor for the real estate seizure, the firm explained that, as part of the process, Kim would have to submit his personal information to the registration office. Being a public figure, he chose not to, and instead opted to participate solely in the seizure of the bank account.

Top new movies to watch this week on popular OTT platforms including The Amateur, Deep Cover, Snow White and more
This week brings a diverse lineup of new films hitting major streaming platforms like Prime Video, Hulu, Disney Plus, HBO Max, and Apple TV Plus. From gritty spy thrillers to psychological dramas and over-the-top comedies, there's something for every kind of viewer. Prime Video leads the charge with Deep Cover, a crime comedy about improv actors posing as gangsters. Meanwhile, The Amateur starring Rami Malek takes a slower, more emotional approach to espionage. Add in Disney's new Snow White remake, a high-rise thriller with Daisy Ridley, and a haunting mother-daughter mystery, and your week's movie watchlist is ready to go. This week's watchlist of movies on Amazon Prime, Disney Plus and Apple TV Clown in a Cornfield (PVOD) Based on the YA horror novel by Adam Cesare, Clown in a Cornfield follows a group of teens terrorized by a murderous clown named Frendo in rural America. While the premise promises campy fun, the final product stumbles with inconsistent tone, weak characters, and awkward humour. Still, slasher fans may enjoy the gory kills and eccentric costume design. If you're in the mood for late-night horror and don't mind some messiness, this might still scratch the itch. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch vàng CFDs với mức chênh lệch giá thấp nhất IC Markets Đăng ký Undo Buy or rent on Amazon from June 10 The Amateur (PVOD) Rami Malek stars in The Amateur, a grounded espionage thriller that veers away from gadget-laden action and toward emotional intensity. After losing someone close, Malek's character of a CIA codebreaker defies agency protocol and dives headfirst into a covert revenge mission. Directed by James Hawes, the film favors quiet tension and inner conflict over car chases and explosions. Also starring Rachel Brosnahan, Jon Bernthal, and Laurence Fishburne, this is a thoughtful, moody watch for fans of serious thrillers. Buy or rent on Amazon from June 10 Snow White (Disney Plus) Rachel Zegler steps into the iconic role of Snow White in this live-action reimagining directed by Marc Webb. The film attempts to modernize the fairy tale with updated themes and original musical elements. While visually striking and featuring a charming lead performance, it falls short of recapturing the classic's timeless charm. Despite mixed reviews, younger audiences and longtime Disney fans may find it a cozy, family-friendly pick. Streams on Disney Plus from June 11 Deep Cover (Prime Video) In Deep Cover, Bryce Dallas Howard plays Kat, an improv teacher who unexpectedly finds herself helping an undercover cop (Sean Bean) infiltrate London's criminal underworld. She recruits two of her eccentric students (Orlando Bloom and Nick Mohammed) to play fake gangsters, setting off a chain of chaotic and comedic events. This Prime Video original blends crime with quirky humour and theatre antics in a fresh, offbeat format. Streams on Prime Video from June 12 Absolution (Hulu) Liam Neeson stars in this noir-inspired drama as a worn-out mob enforcer grappling with memory loss and seeking reconciliation with his estranged daughter. While Absolution doesn't break new ground, it leans into the kind of gritty, emotionally heavy territory Neeson excels at. Directed by Hans Petter Moland, the film delivers a solid mix of brooding atmosphere and moral reflection. Streams on Hulu from June 13 Cleaner (HBO Max) Cleaner follows Joey (Daisy Ridley), a former soldier turned window cleaner who finds herself dangling outside a skyscraper during an eco-terrorist hostage crisis. Trapped between the attackers and 300 captives inside, Joey must use her military past to try and save lives. While familiar in structure, this action-thriller surprises with tight pacing and strong central performances, making for an unexpectedly satisfying watch. Streams on HBO Max from June 13 Echo Valley (Apple TV Plus) Julianne Moore and Sydney Sweeney lead this emotional psychological thriller written by Mare of Easttown creator Brad Ingelsby. Moore plays Kate, a horse trainer living a quiet life until her daughter Claire (Sweeney) arrives bloodied and shaken. What follows is a slow-burning unraveling of secrets, trauma, and moral ambiguity. With Domhnall Gleeson joining the cast as a mysterious figure from Claire's past, Echo Valley is poised to be a standout for fans of dark, character-driven drama. Streams on Apple TV Plus from June 14

Disney to pay Comcast additional $438.7 million to finalise Hulu acquisition before July 2025
Hulu deal: Walt Disney Co. must pay an additional $438.7 million to Comcast Corp. to complete its purchase of the Hulu streaming service, Disney said in a regulatory filing on Monday, as reported by Bloomberg. The Bloomberg report said the transaction is expected to close before 24 July 2025 and will reduce Disney's net income in the fiscal third quarter. In 2019, Disney agreed to acquire Comcast's one-third stake in the business at a price that valued the whole company at around $27.5 billion starting in 2024. However, when the deal was nearing its conclusion, Comcast said the business was worth much more. The two sides began a dispute resolution process, which involved three investment bankers valuing the business. The process was completed on 9 June, the company told Bloomberg. Bloomberg said that Disney already paid Comcast $8.6 billion for the stake. In addition, Comcast didn't have to make the $557 million in contributions to Hulu, which was required under their partnership agreement. Comcast's appraiser had valued the business at as much as $5 billion more. 'We are pleased this is finally resolved,' Disney Chief Executive Officer Bob Iger said in a statement. 'We have had a productive partnership with NBC Universal, and we wish them the best of luck. Completing the Hulu acquisition paves the way for a deeper and more seamless integration of Hulu's general entertainment content with Disney and, soon, with ESPN's direct-to-consumer product, providing an unrivalled value proposition for consumers.' Iger added. According to Bloomberg, Comcast, in its own statement, said: 'We wish Disney well with Hulu and appreciate the cooperative way our teams managed the partnership.' Hulu is one of the first streaming TV services. It evolved from a joint venture between broadcasters seeking a platform for next-day online content to a place where viewers can see original programming like the Chicago restaurant drama The Bear. The business was previously co-owned by broadcasters — Disney, 21st Century Fox Inc., Comcast and AT&T. The service was a pioneer in selling advertising around its shows, something that has now been copied by most of the major streaming services. Hulu has more than 54 million subscribers, said Bloomberg.
