Kim Kardashian in line to play villain in Bratz movie
Kim Kardashian is set to play the villain in the Bratz movie.
The 44-year-old star will be involved in the film as a producer but insiders claim that she is wanted to portray the antagonist in the project, which Amazon MGM has won a competitive bidding war for.
The live-action movie about the toy dolls will be written by Charlie Polinger and Lucy McKendrick alongside Erik Feig and Julia Hammer for Picturestart while Kim will produce the flick with Jason and Jasmin Larian for MGA Entertainment.
No further details about the film's cast or plot have been released as yet.
It is hoped that the Bratz film can replicate the success of 2023's Barbie - which grossed over $1 billion at the box office - and it joins film versions of children's toys Polly Pocket, Barney and Hot Wheels that are currently in development at various Hollywood studios.
Bratz has sold over more than 200 million dolls since 2001 and Amazon MGM claims that the toys have the highest social media engagement across all platforms of any toy brand.
However, this is not guaranteed to translate to success on the big screen as a 2007 Lionsgate Bratz picture disappointed at the box office.
Kim has stepped up her acting career in recent times with a central role in the upcoming legal TV series All's Fair and her co-star Glenn Close didn't feel it was necessary to give the reality star any advice about the profession.
The Fatal Attraction star, who has worked with some of Hollywood's biggest names during her career, told DailyMail.com: "I would not presume to give Kim Kardashian advice. I think she's a very, very brilliant woman. I think she could choose to do anything she wants.
"Frankly, if she wants to be an actress, that's one road. But she could be. She's a great executive. She's a great businesswoman. She's a very, very involved mother. She's getting her law degree. So, I think she has huge potential and that she's fulfilled already as a woman. And frankly, I will be fascinated to see what she chooses to do."
Glenn revealed that she was impressed with The Kardashians star's "professional" approach on set as she balanced her acting work with her responsibilities as a mother and businesswoman.
The 78-year-old actress said: "First of all, she's very professional. She was also - she has an amazing ability to compartmentalise. She would be talking to her kids. She'd be studying for a law exam, then she'd having a board meeting for Skims, and then she'd be, you know, walking on set."
Close also explained that she was "very impressed" by Kardashian as a person.
She said: "I mean, I really love her. I think she has a public image, right? I don't spend a lot of time on Instagram, but her as a person, as a woman, I was very impressed."

Leonardo DiCaprio makes ultimate power move at billionaire's wedding
OPINION Leonardo DiCaprio turning up to a billionaire's wedding festivities in a plain black cap is the ultimate power move. The 50-year-old movie star and Academy Award winner was seen heading to Amazon billionaire Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez's pre-wedding dinner in Venice, Italy. You might have thought such an occasion would call for a black-tie look. You'd have been mistaken. You have to give it to the movie star; there's nothing quite like the power move of dressing a little bit down for the wedding event of the year. The outfit, in general, is pretty normal. The 50-year-old is wearing a plain suit, which is understated compared to his celebrity peers. Keep in mind Brad Pitt, 61, is rolling around in bucket hats these days, and the billionaire groom has a loud shirt collection that should be feared, studied and respected. There's really nothing particularly remarkable about DiCaprio's wedding attire except for the pesky hat. I haven't seen a hat steal the show this much since Guy Sebastian's fedora era, where his love of little hats was on the brink of overshadowing his music career at one point. The hat is only made more comical by comparison to what other celebrities are wearing and the effort they've put into it. DiCaprio's model girlfriend Vittoria Ceretti, 27, is wandering around dressed like Cinderella. She's even gone as far as to wear ruffles. Kim Kardashian and the entire Kardashian gang have turned up in skin-tight dresses and they've gone heavy-handed with hair extensions; Ivanka Trump is in a gorgeous gown, and even Oprah has gone all out. Meanwhile the infamous hat DiCaprio is rocking resembles something you'd wear when trying to reach your 10,000 steps or if you wanted to look inconspicuous while conducting some low-key detective work. I'm thinking it is something you'd wear when you are snooping out the front of your neighbours' so you can stuff some rubbish in their bin because yours is overflowing. DiCaprio was dressed more like he was working in sales and going to a client lunch on a causal Friday than attending a wedding that is rumoured to have cost over $60 million, and that is one of the more conservative estimates. Perhaps DiCaprio was wearing the little black hat to avoid the paparazzi. Still, you'd assume if you value your privacy that much, you wouldn't bother to attend a highly publicised billionaire wedding at which Oprah is a guest. DiCaprio has clearly made an effort to attend and torn himself away from his lifestyle of hanging out with models on yachts. That shows a fair amount of commitment to the nuptials, but the hat … well, the hat just feels like nothing short of a power move. While the rest of the celebrities are practically fawning over the billionaire ceremony, DiCaprio has chosen quite literally to keep his hat on and play it cool.

Labubu's mega mark-ups make Pop Mart a $66 billion export giant
Forget electric vehicles or fast fashion. The driver of some of China's biggest retail profit margins is a plush, pointy-eared, serrated-tooth monster called a Labubu. Labubu, Beijing toymaker Pop Mart International Group's star character, is fuelling a global collectibles craze. The company posted a gross profit margin of nearly 67 per cent last year, among the highest of Chinese firms with major international reach. By comparison, homegoods and toy retailer Miniso Group's margin was about 45 per cent, while consumer electronics maker Xiaomi and EV powerhouse BYD came in around 20 per cent. What began as a niche toy obsession among young Chinese has exploded worldwide, with a human-sized Labubu auctioned for up to $US150,000 ($230,000) in Beijing and fans queuing for hours outside Pop Mart stores from Sydney to Los Angeles ahead of new releases. Celebrities like reality star Kim Kardashian and Lisa, of K-Pop mega band Blackpink, have showcased their Labubus, only heightening the doll's cult status. Even actor Brad Pitt and the cast of his new film F1 The Movie filmed a TikTok video unwrapping the toys while promoting the project this month. Morgan Stanley now calls Pop Mart one of the world's fastest-growing global brands on record, and it has a market value of about $US43 billion ($66b). Shares have soared 182 per cent so far this year. Overseas sales will exceed domestic in 2025, the brokerage says. The phenomenon marks a rare mainstream breakthrough for Chinese pop culture in Western markets, long dominated by giants like Walt Disney and Hello Kitty owner Sanrio. Pop Mart is riding the global collectibles trend fuelled by social media toy 'hauls' and unboxings, while also flipping the traditional retail model: It keeps manufacturing costs low and sells mainly through its own stores, relying on a direct-to-consumer strategy that cuts out middlemen. There's 'a growing tendency for consumers to seek fragmented, instant and affordable 'dopamine' — sources of happiness — in the age of mobile internet and social media,' said Chen Luo, head of China consumer research at BofA Global Research. 'We believe such trends are going to sustain in the mid-to-long term.' Many toys are priced higher in Western markets than they are at home in China. Pop Mart can command margins of up to roughly 75 per cent in the US, even with tariffs, Morgan Stanley said, projecting that sales in North America will match China's by 2028-2029. Pop Mart's sales will rise to $US6b in 2027, a more than 500 per cent increase from 2023, the brokerage estimated. Labubus come in various sizes and dozens of outfits and accessories, enticing fans to collect them all. Pop Mart sells many of its toys in so-called blind boxes, where buyers don't know which figure they're getting — leading to repeat purchases in pursuit of specific characters. One keychain-sized Labubu blind box is currently offered online at 99 yuan ($21) in mainland China, compared to $US28 in the US. Pop Mart's rapid success in the West stands out amid growing trade tensions, as it avoids export restrictions that have challenged Chinese firms like Huawei Technologies. While Chinese EV makers saw their first annual sales decline in Europe in 2024 due to trade friction, Pop Mart has expanded its global footprint with little political resistance. Pop Mart didn't respond to an emailed request for comment. Consumers across the US, Europe and Australia are lining up for the chance to flaunt their latest Labubu purchases on TikTok and Meta's Instagram. The craze is proving resilient despite rising living costs and trade tensions. Pop Mart's Western expansion is capitalising on that demand, with more than 70 per cent of its sales in Europe and the US now coming from local consumers — rather than Chinese expats or tourists — according to a China Merchants Securities International note. America revenue soared about 900 per cent year-on-year in the first quarter of 2025, while Europe surged by roughly 600 per cent in the same period — outpacing the approximately 100 per cent growth seen in mainland China, Pop Mart said in an April business update. Overseas business is proving more profitable, too: Gross margins were about seven percentage points higher than those in mainland China. Markets outside the mainland accounted for nearly 39 per cent of the company's total revenue at the end of 2024. By that point, the company had opened more than 100 stores outside the mainland, including an experiential outlet at Paris's Louvre Museum and a K-Pop-themed space in Seoul. Pop Mart plans to open around 100 outlets outside the mainland in 2025, the company said on its official WeChat account in March. Still, Pop Mart's reliance on Labubu could risk becoming a vulnerability. Its other characters have yet to generate the same global mania, raising questions about long-term sustainability. Chinese buyers are already contending with soaring resale prices and a flood of counterfeits. Pop Mart's shares dropped in Hong Kong in June after China's state media called for tighter oversight of blind boxes, raising concerns over the Labubu business. And unlike legacy intellectual property giants like Disney and Sanrio, Pop Mart's characters lack enduring storylines that can span generations. 'Pop Mart's business model relies on constantly replicating hit products — and it is overly dependent on one or two viral products,' said Chen Da, founder of investment consulting firm Dante Research. 'You will never know if some celebrity endorsements will be able to successfully deliver another product that goes viral.' Bloomberg

Orlando Bloom cosies up to Kim Kardashian at Jeff Bezos' wedding after Katy Perry split
Orlando Bloom put on a cosy display with Kim Kardashian after his split with pop star Katy Perry was revealed. The A-list duo have headed to Venice as part of Amazon chief Jeff Bezos, 61, and 55-year-old fiancee Lauren Sanchez's star-studded wedding guest contingent. It comes after reports the Pirates of the Caribbean actor, 48, would 'make his debut as a single man' at the A-list wedding of the year's three-day celebration. Clearly eager to embrace his stunning Italian surroundings – and escape speculation over his situation with the Roar hit maker, 40 – he has touched down ahead of the nuptials. Bloom, who was recently in Australia where Perry is currently on tour, was seen looking casual in a black vest top and shorts, finishing off with white sports socks. He was seen stretching out as he strolled around the picturesque Italian streets with a pal, before spotting Kardashian, 44, and her sister Khloe, 40, at nearby restaurant, The Gritti Palace. Kardashian looked chic in black Balenciaga trousers paired with a dark bandeau top. She pulled on a pair of silver sunglasses and brushed her locks into a slicked-back up-do and was seen opening her arms to welcome the Lord Of The Rings actor into an embrace. Her sister Khloe, decked out in bold leopard-print, could be seen watching the pair as she stood alongside. The trio then sat at the same table as wedding attendees mingling at the pre-ceremony event. Bezos' wedding venue was recently revealed as an 'open air theatre' on a Venetian island. A series of jaw-droppingly pricey hotel suites have also been booked out for the happy couple and their guests, which won't include Perry as she has several more concerts in Australia. Bloom and Kardashian's warm welcome came after it was reported Perry – who shares daughter Daisy with Bloom from their 10-year partnership – told friends they were over back in January. Last week, The Sun reported how Perry and Bloom held crisis talks to try to save their relationship after leading increasingly separate lives. American news website TMZ then said Brit-born Bloom would be 'the life of the party' and that he would be hitting 'the dance floor hard' when he arrives in Italy for the nuptials. An insider said: 'No one has decided it's definitely the end of the road for Katy and Orlando.' They added, 'They both love each other, but they have been living different lives for at least a year and in different mindsets.' It's understood Bloom and Perry are planning on reuniting on July 4 when there is a break in her touring schedule. The insider added: 'They have barely been together for a decent amount of time, without distractions, for many, many months.' Tensions within their relationship also reached boiling point after Perry's flight to space on board Bezos' Blue Origin. Perry, along with Sanchez and Gayle King, were hit with a public backlash and those close to Bloom said he had warned his fiancee about taking part. They said: 'From day one, Orlando didn't think going on the Blue Origin mission was a good idea, and knew she would face a backlash.' Yet it was then claimed Perry had told her mates their engagement was over at the start of the year, before removing her engagement ring. A source close to the couple said: 'Katy confided in friends at the start of the year that their relationship was as good as done. 'They decided to hold off on announcing anything in case things improved between them, because they are desperate to stay together for the sake of their daughter. 'But they have spent barely any time together this year, with Katy on tour and Orlando working on his upcoming film Bucking Fastard in Dublin. 'She knew that taking off her engagement ring would send a clear message. 'It's been a hard year so far. They wanted to wait until the tour is over before they made their split official, although Katy has grown tired of the situation.' The couple started dating in 2016 and got engaged three years later. However, The Sun understands they had difficult conversations about their future over Christmas and in January but struggled to make a firm decision. Reps for the couple refused to comment when approached about their separation in February and again this week.
