Kourtney Kardashian slams 'dated' school system
Kourtney Kardashian thinks the school system is "dated". The 46-year-old star - who has Mason, 15, Penelope, 12, and 10-year-old Reign with former partner Scott Disick and 18-month-old Rocky with husband Travis Barker - is open to the idea of home educating her brood because she no longer sees the point in sending them into a classroom. Appearing on her sister Khloe Kardashian's 'Khloe in Wonder Land' podcast, the pair reflected on a time when they, along with third sister Kim Kardashian, were feuding, which Kourtney felt was partly because she had started therapy and setting boundaries. She said: 'I would..kind of started challenging the ways that we did things, sometimes the way that we just all function... 'Well, I feel like I love to just go against the grain, I think." Asked if she pushes back just to be different, she replied: 'No, I think living authentically is not conforming to whatever it is. 'For me, there's so many ways. There's ways we function as a family that…it's like if someone does the same thing every day. Like I do it with everything, it's not about our family. "Like, let's say the school system. I'll think, 'Why do kids f****** go to school?' Truly. It's so dated." Khloe agreed: 'Oh, I'm such a homeschool person. So don't even get me going.' The Poosh founder admitted children have sent her videos from "successful people" whose kids don't go to school. She added: "And then I'm like, 'What's the goal here? You want to do homeschool? Let's do it!' Or whatever it is. I think it's anything." Kourtney also favours "nursing" her children when they are ill instead of treating them with medication. She continued: "I will like nurse the fever of my kids versus giving Tylenol or ibuprofen. I just want to do that. And whatever it is, there's so many things like that where I feel like I kinda do, maybe in the world generally does maybe more what I do, but in the United States [it's different].' Travis is also dad to Landon, 21, Alabama, 19, and stepdaughter Atiana, 25, from his marriage to Shanna Moakler, and the 'Kardashians' star believes their blended family has given them a "deeper" existence. She said: 'I love my role as stepmom, because I don't feel like its up to me to discipline. 'We've kind of allowed each other to—we'll talk about it, he can handle the harder things. I definitely give advice or try to be a good role model. 'Some days I've thought like, 'Wow, this is really hard blending families.' But even in the days that are hard, there's so much more love. It's such a deeper, richer existence.'

Kourtney Kardashian Shares Throwback Photo of Her Reaction to Tristan Thompson Cheating Scandal with Jordyn Woods
Kourtney Kardashian Barker is taking it back to one of the most talked about moments on Keeping Up with the Kardashians The Poosh founder shared an Instagram carousel featuring a photo of her reaction to the Jordyn Woods and Tristan Thompson cheating scandal in 2019 "I'm literally shaking," Kardashian Barker said on the E! reality show with a straight faceKourtney Kardashian Barker is throwing it back to one of the most shocking moments in Keeping Up with the Kardashians history! The Poosh founder, 46, shared an Instagram carousel on Friday, June 6, that ended with a still image taken from the penultimate season 16 episode of the long-running reality series. In the scene, the mom of four gets her glam done while wearing patches around her eyes and jawline. She was on a three-way call with sisters Khloé Kardashian, Kim Kardashian and Kylie Jenner. The sisters had just learned Khloé's then-boyfriend, Tristan Thompson, had made out with Jenner's best friend, Jordyn Woods, at a party at his house. Khloé shared on the call that Woods claimed she and Thompson 'did make out' and that she 'just can't believe this is happening,' adding 'she was 'confused.' "I'm like ... you're confused?" Khloé added on the call, to which Jenner responded, 'Wow.' Kardashian Barker said at the time, "I'm literally shaking, I'm so furious.' She quipped, "Tristan's gotta go.' Khloé, 40, and Thompson, 34, have had a tumultuous relationship since they were romantically linked in 2016. The Jordyn Woods scandal marked Thompson's second time being unfaithful to the Khloé in Wonderland podcast host. Days before Khloé gave birth to her first child with the then-Cleveland Cavaliers player, Thompson was spotted making out with two random women in April 2018. In December 2021, news broke that Thompson fathered a child with Marlee Nichols – while he was in a relationship with Khloé, following their reconciliation. Khloé and Thompson share two children: daughter True, 7, and son Tatum, 2 ½. In a November 2023 episode of Hulu's The Kardashians, Kardashian Barker told Thompson 'I don't think you deserve Khloé, or the actions that you've done are something she's deserved." "I'm really not here to judge," Kardashian Barker continued. "I don't have any anger, it's just more like I want an understanding of how you could do these things or how it got there.'

As for the Kylie Cosmetics CEO's relationship with Woods since the scandal, the two have slowly rekindled their friendship over the years.

"We're wearing the same outfit every time!" Jenner, 27, told Woods, also 27, after they were spotted jumping up and down, holding hands, following the Knicks' win. Woods is currently dating Knicks star Karl-Anthony Towns. Read the original article on People

Kourtney Kardashian's daughter leaves her in tears: ‘She's taking pics of me'
Kourtney Kardashian is getting emotional, and it's all because of her 12-year-old daughter Penelope Disick. On Tuesday, June 3, Kardashian posted a photo on her Instagram story showing herself upset and in tears over Penelope. 'Me crying (because) my baby girl is done with 6th grade,' Kardashian captioned the image captured by Penelope, seemingly making light of her mom's tears. 'She's taking pics of me.' The photo comes after the 46-year-old mom of seven said she prefers to go 'against the grain' when it comes to raising her kids and her criticism of traditional education. (Warning: The below link contains language some may find offensive.) When she was a guest on sister Khloe Kardashian's podcast, 'Khloé in Wonder Land,' on May 22, Kourtney Kardashian opened up 'living authentically' and her dislike of the traditional school system. 'I think living authentically is not conforming to whatever it is,' she explained. 'For me, there's ways we function as a family that it's like, if someone does the same thing every day, like, I do it with everything, it's not (just) about our family.' 'Let's say the school system. I'll think, 'Why do kids … go to school?' Truly, it's so dated,' Kourtney Kardashian used as an example of challenging the social norms. Despite not going into detail about why she feels getting a traditional education is 'dated,' she said she'll 'start thinking,' then 'my kids will send me videos about, like, 'Why do kids go to (school)?'' 'It'll be like, really successful people, and they'll be like, 'My kids never go to school and they're never going to' and whatever,' Kourtney Kardashian continued. 'And then I'm like, 'Okay, what's the goal here? You want to do homeschool? Let's do it.'' In addition to Penelope, she shares 15-year-old Mason and 10-year-old Reign with her ex-partner Scott Disick and 1-year-old Rocky with her husband Travis Barker. Kardashian is also a stepmom to Barker's children from his previous relationships, 21-year-old Landon and 19-year-old Alabama, in addition to his 26-year-old stepdaughter, Atiana De La Hoya.

Timothée Chalamet's Ex Shares How She Really Feels About Kylie Jenner Romance
is showing nothing but love for ex-fling and his high-profile romance with González and Chalamet were briefly linked in the summer of 2020, after his split from . Though their relationship was never officially confirmed, the pair was spotted on a romantic vacation in Cabo San Lucas, where eyewitnesses described the two as being inseparable, from cozy beach walks to guitar serenades courtesy of Chalamet himself. Now, years later, Eiza González is moving forward and is fully supportive of Timothée Chalamet. In a recent 'Cheap Shots' segment with Cosmopolitan, the "Baby Driver" star was asked about Chalamet's buzzy relationship with the "Kardashians" star, and while she stayed tight-lipped about her own history with the Dune actor, she didn't hold back on the compliments. 'They look so cute together,' she said. 'They look so in love, and so cute, and I'm obsessed with them." She's currently linked to tennis star Grigor Dimitrov and says she and Chalamet remain on good terms. 'We're just good friends,' she said. 'I have nothing but amazing things to say about him.' Her warm words come just weeks after she liked a photo of Chalamet and Jenner making their red carpet debut at the 70th David di Donatello Awards in Rome. Chalamet was being honored with a special acting award at the time, and Jenner was on hand in a sleek Schiaparelli gown to support her boyfriend, whom she's been dating since 2023. While the couple has made headlines with their PDA-filled public outings, including cozy appearances at Beyoncé's concert and New York Fashion Week, they've also sparked plenty of chatter about how their two very different worlds collide. During a recent interview with GQ, Chalamet joked about navigating fame and privacy alongside Jenner, referencing a "South Park" episode that poked fun at the concept of wanting privacy in the public eye. 'This reminds me of that recent 'South Park' episode with the 'Worldwide Privacy Tour',' he said. For those unaware, the actor was referencing the controversial episode of the adult animated series, which parodied Prince Harry and Meghan Markle and their highly publicized media appearances following their exit from royal duties. 'Sometimes, people are going to be hella confused when you say you're trying to live a private life." Jenner wants to set the record straight. Just because she's in a new relationship doesn't mean she's hung up her signature latex for good. In a revealing new cover story for Dazed magazine, the 27-year-old beauty mogul opened up about her personal style evolution, her longtime influence as a fashion icon, and how her look continues to reflect her individuality, no matter who she's dating. 'That's so funny, I've seen that before too, and I'm always like, first of all, the baddie never left,' Jenner said when asked if her style had softened since linking up with boyfriend Chalamet. 'I wear a latex dress at least once a week. Like, where do you guys think the baddie went?' Fans were quick to weigh in online, with some praising her confidence and others joking about her now-viral 'sundress once in Palm Springs' defense. But Jenner isn't here to please anyone but herself. 'People saw me in a flowy dress once in my life, and they were like, 'She's gone!'' she added. 'Can a girl wear a sundress once?' While many fans associate her with the bold 'King Kylie' era of the mid-2010s, complete with colorful wigs, heavy glam, and gold-stacked wrists, Jenner made it clear she's still channeling that same energy. 'This is the original baddie era,' she declared. The mom of two also opened up about her ever-changing look in a recent interview with Harper's Bazaar, explaining that her style has always been about self-expression. 'I think that I'm kind of a chameleon with my style,' Jenner said. 'I've been like that since I was 16. I changed my hair color like once a week… it's just a part of who I am.' For Jenner, it's not about fitting into a mold or matching her partner's aesthetic. It's about honoring the version of herself that fans have loved all along.
