Kourtney Kardashian Has the Perfect Response to Pregnancy Speculation
Kourtney Kardashian is keeping up with these rumors—and shutting them down.
The Kardashians star clapped back at speculations she may be pregnant after sharing a selfie in a swimsuit while vacationing in Portofino, Italy.
Kourtney commented on the July 17 Instagram post that, instead of expecting another child, she is 'breastfeeding, eating gelato, focaccia, pasta, not working out and living my best damn life baby!'
The reality star—who shares 20-month-old son Rocky Thirteen Barker with husband Travis Barker, as well as Mason Disick, 15, Penelope Disick, 13, and Reign Disick, 10, with ex Scott Disick—is focusing on enjoying life postpartum. It's a mindset that has become a priority with each pregnancy.
'The most important thing is to listen to your body and to do what you're doing for you, not for society's standards of getting your body back, because they are unrealistic,' she wrote on the Poosh website. 'This was my journey. It wasn't until Reign was probably 4 months old that I felt this desire to be in the best shape of my life.'

After welcoming a baby, the Lemme founder—who is also stepmom to Travis and ex Shanna Moakler's kids Landon Barker, 21, Alabama Barker, 19, and Atiana De La Hoya, 26—shared how her relationship with her body changed in an open letter to her fellow 'new mommies.'
"Your body is beautiful at all stages," the 46-year-old wrote in an April Instagram Stories message. "During pregnancy, as we are glowing and growing, postpartum, as we are healing and shrinking, and then that period I find the hardest, as our bodies are still adjusting. And if you're breastfeeding, that's a whole other part of it."
"I try to be kind to myself as my body finds a new normal," she continued. "The pressure put on us to bounce back when everything is new and different isn't realistic. Life is too beautiful, you are beautiful. Just a little reminder (for me too ;)."
Despite the complicated postpartum journey, Kourtney is loving her life as a mom. As she gushed on Instagram in March during a family trip to Australia, 'Feeling so grateful for every single second of time with my babies. Rare to get 2 full weeks of 24/7 time as they get older.'

Loop Fans Launches Free Website Builder to Help Musicians Monetize Beyond Streaming
Web3 music platform unveils free tools for artists to sell directly, engage superfans, and earn outside low-paying streaming services.

With its free musician website builder, the company helps artists sell directly to fans and grow their careers without relying on low-paying streaming services.

Artists can sell music downloads, merch, tickets, vinyl, and even digital collectibles like NFTs or fan tokens. The platform also makes it easy to build and engage a loyal fanbase, with tools designed to reward 'superfans'—the top 1% of fans who often contribute the most support. 'The current system is broken. Artists create all the value but see the smallest share,' said Tom Norwood, Co-Founder of Loop Fans. 'We built Loop Fans to flip that model—so artists can own their audience, their store, and their future.' One Platform, All the Tools Musicians Need Loop Fans combines the best features of traditional site builders, e-commerce tools, and fan platforms into a single experience designed specifically for music creators. With no coding needed, artists can set up: Unlike generic platforms, Loop Fans is music-first—providing the flexibility to sell anything from a vinyl album to a tokenized backstage pass.

As more artists recognize the power of superfans, Loop Fans offers ways to build those high-value relationships through exclusive content, gated access, and personalized rewards. Web3 features are completely optional, meaning artists can use traditional tools or experiment with NFTs as they choose. It's a modern approach with room to grow, whether you're releasing your first EP or managing an established brand. Musicians can explore examples of websites for musicians or start building their own free musician website in minutes.

Inside the home of Pauline Karpidas, the art-world ‘grand dame' who could be the last of her kind
Behind the elegant but unassuming entryway to an apartment near London's Hyde Park, one of Europe's most prominent collectors has amassed a remarkable trove of Surrealist and postwar art in a home bursting with color and eclectic design. Now in her 80s, Pauline Karpidas is selling nearly all of the art and custom furniture housed in her dwelling, where major contemporary artists and other cultural figures have socialized among works by René Magritte, Salvador Dalí, Yves Tanguy, Max Ernst, Pablo Picasso and Andy Warhol. As a patron, she's been an influential and connecting force in the art world for decades, yet Karpidas has remained a private figure who rarely speaks to press. But her upcoming sale, expected to fetch some £60 million, ($79.6 million), will be the most expensive collection from a single owner ever offered by Sotheby's in Europe. 'I cannot think of a more comprehensive place, outside of any major museum collection, really, to study and to look and to be encircled with so many core masterpieces from the surrealist movement and beyond,' said Oliver Barker, the chairman of Sotheby's Europe, in a phone call from London. Out of the sale's 250 artworks and design pieces the top lot is a later Magritte painting 'La Statue volante,' estimated to sell for £9-12 million ($12-$16 million). Other highlights include two Warhol works inspired by the painter Edvard Munch; a Dalí pencil drawing of his wife, Gala; a Hans Bellmer painting made just before the artist was imprisoned in France during World War II; a formative, mystical Dorothea Tanning painting of her dog; and the collector's bed, made of sculptural copper twigs and leaves, by Claude Lalanne. The sale will take place on September 17 and 18, and the works will also go on view in London earlier in the month, providing a rare glimpse at many artworks that have been off the market for decades and will soon be scattered into private hands. The landmark auction comes just two years after Sotheby's sold off the contents of Karpidas summer home in Hydra, Greece, which became a summer hotspot for artists through her Hydra workshops. In that sale, which more than doubled its high estimate, works by Georg Baselitz, Marlene Dumas and Kiki Smith earned a combined €35.6 million ($37.6 million). 'She's a real diva, in the most positive sense of this word,' said the Swiss artist Urs Fischer in a video call. 'She's also a bit of a mystery to me, despite knowing her for a long time.' Fischer met Karpidas more than two decades ago when he was in his twenties, participated in one of her Hydra gatherings in the mid-2000s, and has regularly attended art-world parties with her. Fischer noted her 'larger-than-life' presence: She's often in striking hats, cigarette in hand, and has the tendency toward telling grand stories and scrawling, multi-page handwritten letters, he said. 'When I think of any memory of her, she's always at the center of a place — she's not the person on the periphery,' he recalled. Karpidas, originally from Manchester, was introduced to art collecting through her late husband, Constantine Karpidas, known as 'Dinos,' whose own eye was fixed on 19th-century art including Pierre-Auguste Renoir and Claude Monet. Then by meeting the art dealer Alexander Iolas, Karpidas found her own path. Iolas, nearly retired by that point, had been a formidable dealer of major 20th-century artists, particularly Surrealists, and his approach was the 'blueprint' for international mega-galleries such as Gagosian and Hauser & Wirth today, according to Barker. But with Karpidas' financial means and determination, he worked with her to build a singular collection of 20th-century art. Karpidas is part of the lineage of 'grande dames,' Barker said — the affluent 20th-century women who built social networks across the most prominent artists, fashion houses and designers of the time — and she may be the last of her kind, he noted. She was close friends with Andy Warhol and frequented his parties at The Factory, she was dressed by Yves Saint Laurent, and her homes were the efforts of prominent interior designers Francis Sultana and Jacques Grange. She's been compared to the late, great female patrons Peggy Guggenheim and Dominique de Menil, both of whom she knew. But though her counterparts' collections have become important cultural instructions, accessible to the public at institutions, through Sotheby's, the bulk of Karpidas' collection will be disseminated across the art market. In her London residence, Fischer said, 'the whole space became one artwork. Every fragment of that apartment has its own little story.' While he's been in many homes of affluent collectors over the years, Karpidas' apartment stands out for how personal and exuberant it is. 'In some way, it's probably a mirror of her interest and her psyche,' he said. 'It's not just like a wealthy person's home. It's like a firework.' Barker explained that Karpidas' acquisitions have not only been the result of her financial means, but her judicious timing, too. She was well-positioned in 1979 for the record-breaking sale of the collector and artist William Copley's personal collection, netting a 1929 painting by the French Surrealist Yves Tanguy, which will be resold in September. Many works owned by Karpidas have been passed down through famous hands, such as Surrealism founder André Breton, poet Paul Éluard, gallerist Julian Levy, and the family of Pablo Picasso. 'She was not only there at the right time, but she was choosing the right works,' Barker said. Important patrons have often become subjects themselves, and the same is true of Karpidas. In 2023, Fischer depicted her in an ephemeral piece, with a lifespan of a single gallery show. On the floor of LGDR (now Lévy Gorvy Dayan) in New York, he cast a sculpture of the collector gazing at a reproduction of the 2nd-century 'Three Graces,' an iconic Ancient Greek statue symbolizing beauty and harmony in art and society, which Karpidas purchased in 1989 before selling it to the Metropolitan Museum of Art. In Fischer's version, he rendered the three female nudes, as well as Karpidas, as life-size wax candles. All white except her dark oversized jewelry, the wax effigy of Karpidas looked to the sculpture she'd purchased decades before, all of the figures' wicks' aflame. Eventually, like many of Fischers' works, they all melted down, the fire winking out.
