Khloe Kardashian hated being forced to talk about father's death
Bang Showbiz | Los Angeles Khloe Kardashian was 'incredibly angry' after the death of her father Robert Kardashian and she hated being forced to talk about her loss on camera. The 40-year-old reality TV star lost her dad when she was just 19 and she was encouraged to talk about her feelings a few years later when filming her family's reality show 'Keeping Up With The Kardashians' - and Khloe insists she found the experience incredibly uncomfortable. During an episode of her podcast 'Khloe in Wonderland' with grief expert David Kessler, she explained: 'For about three years, I was incredibly angry. 'I was filming my show, 'Keeping Up with the Kardashians', and in season one, I remember one of my producers was making me do an interview about my dad 'cause I wouldn't talk about my dad. 'At that time, if I spoke about him, I would just break down.' However, Khloe now realises being forced to confront her feelings was actually a good thing because it helped her move forward.

Orlando Bloom undergoes 10k treatment to remove toxic chemicals
Bang Showbiz | Los Angeles Orlando Bloom has undergone a £10k treatment to remove toxic chemicals from his blood. The 48-year-old actor shared a photo of himself at Clarify Clinic on Monday (09.06.25) where he underwent the two-hour procedure, which can reduce inflammation by removing microplastics, chemicals and toxins from your blood. He wrote alongside the Instagram snap: 'Thanks for the help @clarifyclinics - a new way of removing microplastics and toxic chemicals from our bodies.' The cost of a single session of the procedure - which removes the unwanted elements using CE marked Clari by Marker - starts at £9,750. On the Clarify Clinics website, the organisation explains: 'Your plasma is gently separated from your red and white blood cells in a process called apheresis. 'The plasma is then passed through our safe and effective CE marked Clari column. The damaging substances like microplastics, forever chemicals, and inflammatory proteins are captured and removed. 'Unlike Therapeutic Plasma Exchange (TPE) nothing is added to your plasma during this process. 'This means your plasma retains your unique and critical immune balance, electrolytes, clotting factors and cell signaling. 'After the harmful substances are removed, your clean plasma and blood cells are recombined before being returned to you.' Orlando's fiancee Katy Perry recently admitted to her fans in Australia that she'd been struggling with jet lag, particularly because their four-year-old daughter Daisy had been waking her up at 5am. However, she joked any visible signs of tiredness weren't there because she'd had the wrinkle-smoothing injections. She told the crowd: 'You can't tell I'm tired because I got fresh Botox for Australia!' It isn't the first time Katy has confessed to having Botox treatments. Last month, a satirical headline by the Onion joked Katy would be releasing a song called Stop Making Fun of Me alongside a photo of Katy taken in Melbourne last year. She quipped on Instagram in response: 'This photo is clearly photoshopped I would never let my Botox go that long, do better The Onion!'

Sharing two black-and-white selfies, he wrote: 'Tired of transactional relationships 'If I have to do something to be loved 'That's not love.' The post came a day after the 31-year-old star had hit out at expectations of those who kept pushing him to 'work harder'. Alongside a photo of himself with a hand over his head, Justin had written on his Instagram Story: 'This is how I feel after people keep telling me there's more work to do after I've given everything I have to give. 'I don't think any of us can handle hearing, 'You just gotta try a little harder and you will be like me.' It's not true. 'I listened to those fools who told me to work harder. And there's no end to trying to earn ur spot in this life because I tried. U have everything u need right now.(sic)' And Justin stressed the importance of making faith a priority when people seem to 'wanna make our life about work so bad.'

'Conditioning will make u feel like u don't know what the f*** u knew.(sic)' The Love Yourself singer believes 'working hard' on himself only leads to further difficulties. He wrote: 'Jesus was always the answer to pain we are all facing... 'People still keep making me think if I work hard on myself I'll be better like them. 'But the harder I work on myself, the more I think about myself. I thought the point was to think about one another? The only thing that helps m e think about others to let go, not try harder. Join me in letting go of not trying harder.' Over the weekend, Justin also shared a photo of himself having a video chat with wife Hailey. He cap - tioned the image: 'that's a man who LOVES his wife.(sic)
