Kylie Jenner's BFF Stassie Karanikolaou finally admits she had BBL but reveals major regret over procedure
Kylie Jenner 's best friend Stassie Karanikolaou has finally admitted that she had a BBL surgery to greatly enhance the size of her derriere when she was younger.
She appeared on Bravo Bri's podcast where she said the number one question she's been getting for the past 10 years is has she had plastic surgery and 'a** implants'.
Stassie, 27, said she was pretty sure she revealed her BBL - a Brazilian Butt Lift - on an episode of Call My Daddy.
At the time she knew she had to say something but she didn't want to come right out and say it.
'So I think I said literally "I moved things around,"' causing Stassie and Bri to giggle.
'I don't have a** implants and I don't think it's anything I can hide at this point, yes I have a BBL. I moved fat around.'
Stassie also admitted to having a breast augmentation prompting Bri to say 'Well you look fabulous.'
Stassie responded: 'Thank you, I just got them done a week ago.'
She then got serious, saying, 'Obviously I got this done super young. It's something that I regret and I think that's why it's been so hard to talk about for so long.'
She admitted that she's actively been trying to fix her BBL, saying, 'I literally have another surgery in a week to try and reduce the size of it a little more.'
Stassie said they size of her BBL has been affecting her for years and she wished she didn't feel the way she did when she had it done.
She felt like it was necessary because of the pressure put on women to conform to certain beauty standards that change over time.
'Do not surgically change your body for a trend and just know that its only going to be relevant for a little bit.
'Anyone else that knows me knows this is something I've been trying to do for a long time.'
Kylie and Stassie have been friends for a long time after meeting through mutual friends when they were 13 and hanging out at a book store, Karanikolaou revealed on an episode of the Call Her Daddy podcast released in 2022.
Since then, they have remained close and constant friends through their steady rise to fame.
When Jenner celebrated her 27th birthday last summer Karanikolaou was present to party with her and was even featured on her Instagram post declaring that she had the 'best birthday ever.'
During the same podcast appearance, Karanikolaou also got candid about getting plastic surgery at a young age.
She opened up about the specific procedures she's had done but denied getting any work done on her backside.
'I have not had butt implants. The only implants that I have are in my t*tties,' she said.
'And I'm not saying that I haven't done other things and I haven't, you know, moved some things around or whatever the case may be.
'But I just feel like I was at a point in my life when I was younger and I felt like my lips needed to be big, my boobs needed to be big.
'Everything ... my butt needed to be big,' she said at the time.
About her decision to get candid, she also stressed the importance of being open about cosmetic enhancements.
'There's such a stigma in plastic surgery and I feel like whether you say that you've done it or whether you don't say you've done it, people are going to find a way to say something about it and like make it a negative thing,' she said. 'No one needs to tell anyone anything if they don't want to.'
However, she continued to open up about the 'taboo' subject and explained that the very first procedure she had was lip filler — but 'not at a good place,' she said.
Since then, she said she continues to receive negative comments about her appearance on social media and even once in real life when she was vacationing in Greece.
When a stranger told her she was 'full of plastic,' she said it upset her. 'I wanted to start crying,' she said. 'I don't want to look plastic. I don't want to look fake.'
Afterwards, she said that she started revising her work to look 'more natural.'
She also mentioned beauty standards and how they change like trends but noted that she has no regrets even though she wants a different look nowadays.
'I wouldn't say regret. I would say I've gotten stuff done that I didn't like the result but not regret," she said. 'At the time I wanted it and for the time I liked it. But I have taken it back.'

Hollywood legend reveals Trump phoned him and accused him of 'wussing out' over 2020 stolen election claims
Playwright David Mamet revealed that President Donald Trump called him and complained that he 'wussed out' over those 2020 stolen election claims. Mamet was the guest on this week's episode of comedian Bill Maher's Club Random podcast. The Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright, screenwriter and author - known for Glengarry Glen Ross, Wag the Dog and The Untouchables - ditched liberalism in 2008 and is a supporter of Trump. Maher, a liberal who's taken swipes at the left for being too 'woke,' commented to Mamet that 'man, each book you get more right-wing,' and recalled how Mamet had come on his HBO show Real Time to publicize the last one. The comedian said that at the time, he thought Mamet was 'hedging' on the so-called 'big lie,' Trump's false claims that the 2020 election was stolen from him. 'You know, you don't know what happened to me the next morning,' Mamet said. Mamet recalled that on Maher's show, he was 'kind of iffy on it, right?' 'Next morning, eight o'clock, the phone rings. Woman on the phone says, "Mr. Mamet, will you hold for the president?"' Mamet recalled. 'I said wait a second, is Biden calling?' 'Is Trump! During the Biden administration. He says, "David, it's Donald Trump." I say, "Oh, Mr. President, thank you for calling to what do I owe the honor?"' the author described. 'He said, "I saw you on Bill Maher yesterday, you were great." He said, "But you wussed out on the question of the stolen election,"' Mamet said. 'And then he talked to me for like 20 minutes about how the election was stolen.' Maher interjected, 'It wasn't!' But this time Mamet took Trump's side. 'Well, I think it was,' the playwright pushed. Maher pointed out that 'they've adjudicated this.' 'They've looked at this. Republicans have looked at it,' Maher said. 'It was tested in court like 60 times. It was thrown out every time. Trump's own commission appointed by his own commissioners to look at the election ...They all said the same thing. It was the most fair, honest election we've ever had.' Christopher Krebs, who served as Director of the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, had called the 2020 election 'the most secure in American history.' In April, Trump revoked Krebs' security clearance via a presidential memorandum and directed Attorney General Pam Bondi and Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem to review Krebs' activities during his time working in government. 'I'm not talking about the votes. I'm not talking about counting the votes,' Mamet pressed. 'That the Hunter Biden laptop was suppressed, the COVID information was suppressed. Zuckerberg said himself that the White House pressured him not to bring forward the information on the laptop,' Mamet argued. 'And Rasmussen said, had that come out, there would have been a 17 point spread,' the playwright added. The New York Post broke the Hunter Biden laptop story on October 14, 2020, just weeks before the presidential election. The Biden campaign had officials in the intelligence community sign a letter saying that the information in the laptop being shopped by Trump allies had marks of a Russian disinformation campaign. Since then the Daily Mail and other outlets have authenticated the laptop. Maher wasn't buying Mamet's explanation.

Ballerina review – Ana de Armas racks up the kills as she pirouettes into John Wick spin-off
That title could cause confusion. The film might accidentally tap into the Frozen customer-base, and millions of wide-eyed little girls in sparkly tutus and tiaras will show up at cinemas with their mums and dads to watch Keanu Reeves let a heavy-set gangster have it in the chops with a round from his specially customised Glock. Well, the confusion is deliberate. Here, the delicacy of ballet and the violence of martial arts are conflated. In this new spin-off feature from Keanu's John Wick action franchise – an auxiliary episode on the timeline, between Wick episodes Three and Four, when JW was lying low, recovering from injuries – a mysterious new action-slash-classical-dance heroine called Eve now grands-jetés her way into the franchise, played by the always stylish Ana de Armas. JW veteran Shay Hatten writes the screenplay and Len Wiseman directs. The central idea returns me an old maxim of mine: people who call action scenes in films 'balletic' have never seen a ballet, or indeed a fight, in their lives. Yet I was sort of hoping that de Armas's ballerina Eve Macarro would put the smackdown on a couple of dozen goons while up on pointe. Sadly no. But I do have to admit that de Armas carries off the essential silliness of Ballerina and, after her performance as Paloma in No Time to Die opposite Daniel Craig's 007, she proves again she can do action, in both couture and daytime wear; she can also carry out the time-honoured lightning-fast choreography of removing a clip from an automatic weapon, inspecting its contents, smacking it back into position with the heel of her palm and then filling someone full of lead. Eve is inducted into the way of violence as a little kid, like Natalie Portman's badass moppet in Luc Besson's Léon, or indeed like John Wick himself; she is secretly trained in weaponry and martial arts at the same time as she is schooled in ballet, the rigour and discipline of which are considered to be complementary to those of beating the jeepers out of someone. It happened after her dad was whacked by a mysterious cult led by a dead-eyed creep called the Chancellor (Gabriel Byrne), and the plucky orphan is taken in by the Ruska Roma group led by Anjelica Huston's implacable Director, and grows to womanhood in this strange, dysfunctional ballet-plus-violence organisation whose income apparently derives from assassination fees. But Eve has always nursed a desire for revenge against the weird tribe who killed her dad. Four John Wick films with Keanu fetishising his guns and sporting his increasingly werewolfy facial hair have been increasingly heavy going but now de Armas mixes things up and she is a smart screen presence. As for the ballet, the emphasis is on Tchaikovsky's Swan Lake; nothing wrong with that, of course, but if the Ballerina sub-franchise continues, let's hope that different works are chosen and we see de Armas actually getting out there on stage in a tutu as opposed to simply racking up the kills. Ballerina is out on 6 June in Australia and the US, and on 7 June in the UK.

From the World of John Wick: Ballerina: An action spin-off as nasty as it is shoddy
The offer made so far by the John Wick franchise was solid enough: we got four films' worth of Keanu Reeves weaving through a society of assassins with deadly flair. Ballerina, billed as 'From the World of John Wick', is a spin-off that spins out – an exercise in flailing tedium that shows all the signs of a total creative power cut. Reeves is a long way from being in charge, or to blame. He gets what looks suspiciously like an emergency cameo, ceding the spotlight to Ana de Armas as a brand-new, lethally dull trainee assassin called Eve Macarro. Killing Eve is tough. You wish it wasn't, quite honestly. Ballerina was first shot way back in summer 2022, and by all accounts, didn't work. Alleged director Len Wiseman, responsible for the Underworld films and the atrocious 2012 remake of Total Recall, was given his marching orders, leaving Wick regular Chad Stahelski to handle reshoots virtually from scratch, with new characters and subplots commissioned. Lance Reddick then died in March 2023. He's still in this as Charon, the lugubrious concierge, while Ian McShane seems to have halted ageing altogether as his boss. Salvage jobs on blockbusters do sometimes pan out. Then there's the likes of this, which has easily the lousiest photography, stunt work, acting, dialogue, you name it, of the Wick series to date. It's rather like setting expectations with 'From the World of James Bond' and then inflicting Vin Diesel's xXx upon us. The trouble is how little we care about Eve. Childhood trauma (zzz) drives her, after watching her father forced to commit suicide by a feared chieftain named 'The Chancellor' (Gabriel Byrne). So far, so Black Widow. She's a cipherish placeholder, like an AI clone of busier superspies we've lately met (hello, Jennifer Lawrence in Red Sparrow). She's less Atomic Blonde than sub-atomic brunette. Per the title, Eve has barely had time to nurse her bandaged feet as a student ballerina before her Ruska Roma handler, 'The Director' (Anjelica Huston, lacking only a crystal ball) ushers her into the murder game. This is seemingly for no reason other than the craving for revenge at Eve's core, and the fact that, remember, we're in the world of John Wick. De Armas, so sparky enlivening No Time to Die, simply isn't good enough to animate this sock puppet. Her scenes with Byrne, Huston and Norman Reedus as some dormant operative have a spirit-sapping portentousness that's the enemy of fun. 'Fate is a humbling thing,' Byrne declares, until we beg for mercy. It's not just that the action has never looked shoddier. It's also never been nastier – an obvious clue that witty elegance got thrown in the bin, and lowest-common-denominator sadism, using any old FX, filled the breach. Eve gets out of a scrape in a weapons shop using a fistful of grenades and being the right side of a metal table. The goon on the wrong side gets splattered into mincemeat. While prowling some kind of Alpine spa town, she then finds a flamethrower and roasts all comers. These desperate parts will be called the highlights, which is saying absolutely nothing. Reeves, dialled in by The Director to stop Eve killing The Chancellor, arrives strictly under sufferance. He keeps imploring her, 'Leave! Leave!' – he must say the word a dozen times. Each repetition is more fatigued. We feel his pain, and want it to be over.
