Khloé Kardashian shares long-awaited pantry tour
Khloé Kardashian gave an in-depth tour of her $17 million ($26 million AUD) mansion's immaculately organised walk-in pantry.
'Welcome to my crib, my pantry crib,' the Good American co-founder said in a video posted to her YouTube channel Monday, adding that she has been getting requests to give a tour for years.
'This is where all the magic happens,' she joked.
Kardashian, 40, transformed one of her Hidden Hills, California, garages into a pantry because she ran out of space in her original food storage closet.
'I wanted it to look a little farmer's market-y (and) beautiful,' she said of the design concept.
The bottom shelves are filled with family-sized bags of chips and other snacks, including her newly launched Khloud popcorn brand, organised in wooden crates.
The Kardashians star — who shares daughter True, seven, and son Tatum, two, with ex-partner Tristan Thompson — explained that she keeps the snacks on the bottom shelves because her 'kids are little and shorter, so (she wants) them to be able to grab and go'.
'The higher we get, the more adult-y we get,' she said, listing off condiments like olives for her mum Kris Jenner's beloved martinis.
Above that, Kardashian keeps glass containers with steel lids filled with various noshes, while the shelves above are used for 'back stock' and the highest ones store her fragile glass cake trays for 'all the fun, good stuff'.
The reality TV star sections out her food containers by category, with one being for healthy items. She also shared that she likes to use a label maker to note a food's expiration date since she removes the products from their original boxes.
'We do a pantry restock, re-fluff, when need be,' she said.
Kardashian opts for lazy Suzans from CB2 to organise her canned goods, while her glass containers are from Amazon — though she added her own personal touch by staining the lids grey because she admittedly is 'a psychotic freak'.
The Hulu personality admitted she keeps some processed food in the house but noted, 'That's life'.
'I can't be full-on Kourtney (Kardashian), but in my soul I try,' she joked of her sister, who is famous for her strict organic diet. 'I'm just happy they don't have tons of plastic over here'.
On the opposite side of the pantry, she shared her impressive cutting board collection lining the backsplash of her marble countertop.
'Yes, I use them, but also I like the way they look on my counter,' she explained.
A massive wooden bowl of fruit is also atop the counter, which she fills with bananas, apples and other fruits as well as plastic versions for 'fluffer'.
Shelves above the counter are home to bottles of San Pellegrino and Perrier soda water.
'A little green adds some vibrancy and colour in here,' the star said of the emerald-hued glasses.
She keeps a few cake stands filled with cookies and other sweet treats out, explaining, 'Life is about moderation'.
As for her drawers, the former Revenge Body star organises them with dividers to help separate things like utensils, biodegradable straws, cocktail napkins, cookie cutters, rolling pins and other baking accessories.
Another drawer is completely filled with candies such as Ring Pops and lollipops.
As someone who 'loves to bake,' she keeps jars of sprinkles out for aesthetic purposes, but she uses cabinets to hide things that 'aren't too pretty' like ziplock bags, aluminium foil and aprons.
'Things I don't really care to have out,' she added. 'So you're allowed to have 'junk drawers,' although mine aren't really junk drawers 'cause I still keep everything organised.'
The Keeping Up With the Kardashians alum believes every inch of any room is 'usable space'.
'You just have to be creative with it,' she said before suggesting, 'If you don't have counter space for cutting boards, hammer it into a wall and keep them there. They're not only usable, but they're also pretty.'
She keeps a snow cone machine in the corner of her pantry and displays her fine china in her high-up shelves accented with strip lighting.
'Okay, guys, so that is really the end of my 'Cribs' pantry tour. Thank you guys for coming,' she said before joking, 'So you don't have to go home, but you gotta get the hell out of here'.

New TikTok trend involving your front door could result in severe damage
Homeowners and sellers tend to overlook the importance of their home's front door. However, experts argue that this is one of the key features that can make or break a sale. Front doors offer a first impression to buyers, and as the saying goes, the first impression lasts the longest. For owners, the main entry to the home is also the first line of defence from the outside world, whether it be intruders or the elements. Over in the US, there's been a resurgence of the concerning 'door-kicking' prank, which gained traction on TikTok last year. This trend has led to concerns among owners and sellers alike — especially given that things have escalated rapidly since the prank was last popular. The TikTok 'door-kicking' trend, which started in 2024, involves pounding and kicking on front doors in the middle of the night. While it might seem like a harmless prank at first, it often leaves residents bewildered and burdened with costly repairs. Against this backdrop, the importance of your front door can't be overstated as it's more than just an entryway: it's both the first impression of your home and a critical line of defence. According to high-quality doors can increase a home's marketability by 5 per cent to 10 per cent, as it suggests durability and low maintenance. Materials matter when it comes to front doors With all of this in mind, as real estate agent Alexei Morgado puts it, homeowners should not view the front door just as a surface-level design enhancement but also as a security feature. Fibreglass Fibreglass offers a balance of strength, insulation, and low maintenance, mimicking the look of wood without the warping. According to Doors Plus, 'fibreglass doors lead the way in resilience to the elements and insulation performance'. Although the price is high, fibreglass doors have a longer lifespan than wood or steel doors. Also, its low maintenance makes it cost-effective over time. Steel Steel is the most durable material available for front doors, making it an ideal choice for enhanced security. As long as the weather conditions aren't too extreme, it will not be affected – unlike wood, for example, which can warp when it gets wet. The downside of a steel door includes that it can be easily scratched or dented and requires a good finish to prevent rust. Solid wood Wooden doors can provide a stunning finish, and owners can accentuate the grain to achieve a beautiful appearance. They can also be stained or painted to give a different finish and to give a tired door a new lease of life. While timeless and customisable, wood demands regular maintenance. But it adds unmatched warmth and character. How to protect your front door There are several upgrades owners can make. Steel-reinforced doors with deadbolt plates and longer strike screws slow down break-ins fast. In addition, smart locks are helpful, but the core still comes down to the strength of the actual door and frame. Owners should also consider smart security upgrades, such as video doorbells or cameras, which can deter pranks and enhance monitoring. Finally, in terms of return on investment, doors are one of the simplest high-impact upgrades you can make. 'But the ROI goes far beyond resale value. Insurers are also beginning to include fortified doors in homeowners' premiums,' Morgado told Realtor. 'And even more valuable is time on the marketplace. Homes with obvious security upgrades, including smart doors and secure doors, also sell faster, particularly with millennials and Gen Z, who care about tech as much as security.'

Ex-hotel security guard says Sean 'Diddy' Combs paid him $US100,000 for video of LA hotel assault
Warning: This story contains details of sexual abuse and domestic violence. A former hotel security guard has testified that Sean "Diddy" Combs gave him a brown paper bag stuffed with $US100,000 ($154,000) in cash, for what he hoped was the only copy of surveillance footage of him viciously attacking his then-girlfriend, R&B singer Casandra Ventura. The video shows Ms Ventura, also known by her stage name Cassie, at an LA hotel in 2016. Eddy Garcia, 33, said the hip-hop mogul repeatedly made the comment that his career and image would be destroyed if the video of the assault became public, before giving him the bag of money. Prosecutors at Mr Combs's sex trafficking trial in Manhattan have made the footage a centrepiece of their federal case against him. It shows Mr Combs kicking, beating and dragging Ms Ventura at the Intercontinental Hotel in Los Angeles. They contend it supports the claims of three women, including Ms Ventura, who allege Mr Combs sexually and physically abused them over two decades. Prosecutors say Mr Combs's persistent efforts to hush up the episode fit with allegations he used threats, fortune and fame to get what he wanted. Mr Combs, 55, has pleaded not guilty to sex trafficking and racketeering charges. After the attack, Mr Garcia said he spoke several times to Mr Combs's chief-of-staff Kristina Khorram, telling her he couldn't show her the recording but "off the record, it's bad." He said during one phone call she put a "very nervous"-sounding Mr Combs on the phone, who "was just saying he had a little too much to drink" and that, as Mr Garcia surely knows, "with women, one thing leads to another and if this got out it would ruin him." "He was talking really fast, a lot of stuttering," Mr Garcia said. Mr Garcia said he became nervous and scared when Ms Khorram called him on his cell phone, the number for which he had not provided, and she put Mr Combs on. "He stated that I sounded like a good guy," Mr Garcia testified, adding that Mr Combs again said "something like this could ruin him." When he told Mr Combs he didn't have access to the server to obtain the video footage, Mr Combs said he believed Mr Garcia could make it happen and that "he would take care of me," which Mr Garcia said he took "to mean financially." Mr Garcia said he checked with his boss and was told he would sell it to Mr Combs for $US50,000. When he told Mr Combs, he said the music producer "sounded excited." "He referred to me as 'Eddy my angel,'" Mr Garcia said, adding that Mr Combs told him: "I knew you could help. I knew you could do it." Within two days of the attack on Ms Ventura, Mr Garcia gave the accused a storage device containing the footage in exchange for $US100,000 in cash which Mr Combs fed through a money counter before putting in a brown paper bag. Mr Garcia signed a confidentiality and non-disclosure agreement, shown in court, that required he pay $US1 million if he breached the deal. At the time he said he was making $US10.50 an hour working hotel security. The former security guard said he signed a declaration swearing that there was no other copy of the video. He said he signed the papers in an office building with Mr Combs's bodyguard and Ms Khorram present. Mr Garcia said he didn't fully read the documents, explaining that he was nervous and "the goal was to get out of there as soon as possible." After signing, he said, Mr Combs asked him what he planned to do with the money and advised him not to make big purchases. Mr Garcia said he took that to mean he shouldn't do anything that would draw attention. Mr Garcia said he gave $US50,000 to his boss and $US20,000 to another security officer. He pocketed $US30,000 and used some of it to buy a used car, he said. He said he used cash and to avoid a further paper trail, never put the money in the bank. A few weeks later, Mr Garcia said Mr Combs called him and asked if anyone had inquired about the video. Mr Garcia said no, recounting Mr Combs's ebullient greeting: "Happy Easter. Eddy, my angel. God is good. God put you in my way for a reason." Mr Garcia said he asked the accused if he might have future work for him, and Mr Combs sounded receptive. But Mr Combs never responded to his later inquiries, the witness said. Another hotel guard has testified he recorded the footage on his phone so he could show it to his wife. Mr Combs could face life in prison if convicted on all counts. Prosecutors have said they may finish presenting their case next week, allowing the defence to put on its case. AP

Mountainhead review: First film from Succession creator promises 'eat the rich' but neglects to feed the audience
The "eat the rich" subgenre has been so well covered in the past decade that it's become overexposed. But the trope du jour does still offer a singular cinematic delight: watching entitled, horrible, rich people get what's coming to them. What: Four tech billionaires hide out in a palatial mansion while their creations tear the world apart. Starring: Steve Carell, Ramy Youssef, Cory Michael Smith, Jason Schwartzman Directed by: Jesse Armstrong When: Streaming now on Max Likely to make you feel: like you've already seen this story Whether they end up bankrupt, castaways or as human s'mores, there is a catharsis to seeing billionaires suffer in fiction because they so rarely receive their comeuppance in real life. In Succession creator Jesse Armstrong's first foray into writing and directing a feature film, he asks: "What if I did an eat-the-rich film, but just give the audience 'the rich' part?" Mountainhead is a very long bottle episode of TV, set in the most expensive bottle you've ever seen. Tech creator Hugo 'Souper' Van Yalk (Jason Schwartzman) — short in both stature and standing (his net worth is less than $1 billion) — invites three of his closest frenemies to his steely, sprawling, secluded compound for a weekend of poker. Randall Garrett (Steve Carell) — net worth $63 billion — is the oldest of the bunch and he can feel it. Multiple doctors have diagnosed him with an incurable cancer which he rejects, dismissing his latest physician as a "simpleton". Venis 'Ven' Parish (Cory Michael Smith) — net worth $221 billion — has just pushed a frightening new AI-generative feature onto his omnipresent social media platform, Traam. Ven's actually only on the trip because he needs to schmooze Jeff Abredazi (Ramy Youssef) — net worth $59 billion and quickly climbing — owner of an AI company whose code way outstrips Traam's version. In a classic horse-before-the-cart move, Traam's AI isn't so great at sorting fact from fiction, leading to unverifiable videos that flare political tensions internationally. Ven needs Jeff's superior tech to fend off faceless federal forces that are putting pressure on Ven to fix his platform before fake videos tear the planet apart. Because all these man-child characters have the emotional intelligence of an egg, Ven can't quite muster the humility to ask for Jeff's help. As the quartet trade barbs and only semi-literate technobabble in Armstrong's trademark galloping, insult-a-minute dialogue, real-time disasters trickle in from their smartphones: Gangs in South America are killing innocents after deep fake videos called them informants; AI-generated deep fakes of ideologically fuelled violence have inflamed conflict between multiple countries. In response, the four men cast themselves as kings of the new world, indulging in casual debate over who is going to be installed as leader of which impoverished country. The world crises in Mountainhead were so true to life that Youssef says he found it difficult to differentiate between the horror filtering in from his prop phone and his real phone. "At a certain point, I didn't really know which was which, and unfortunately a lot of these things started to blend together," he says. "I think our emotions were definitely tested with how escalating everything in the real world is right now." And therein lies the real problem with Mountainhead. In a world where almost indistinguishable headlines are shrieked at us from all angles, why on earth would we want an uncanny recreation as entertainment? In the past week, AI-generated deepfake videos shared widely across Twitter and Facebook inflamed the conflict between India and Pakistan, with experts claiming the platforms didn't do enough to temper the misinformation. Youssef points to Armstrong's strength of tone — which kept millions engaged in the abhorrent actions of his Succession characters — as the saving grace of this purported comedy. "It never felt like we were making fun of what was happening. We were more making fun of the people who are so reckless," he says. Which could work, if any of the characters did or said anything half as disturbingly comical as their real-life counterparts. Randall takes obvious inspiration from billionaires like US venture capitalist Bryan Johnson, who is perhaps more well-known for his radical attempts at "anti-aging". But absolutely nothing Randall says in his ample screen time is as hilariously dystopian as Johnson taking a whole litre of his 17-year-old son's blood to put in his body in an attempt to reverse aging, only to turn around and say the process had "no benefits detected". Ven, with his problematic social platform, weird connection with his infant child and direct line to the president, is reminiscent of Elon Musk. But the character's cringe displays pale in comparison to Musk's gamut of baffling behaviours or squirm-worthy jokes — from setting up a Tesla showroom on the White House lawn to his obsession with 420 gags. Mountainhead was turned around at an astonishing rate. According to Armstrong, he pitched the film to HBO in December last year and production was wrapped by April. This kind of accelerated birth should make the comedy feel fresh and relevant. Instead, Armstrong makes observations and comedy that feel not just dated, but unnecessary. His visual metaphors — like the cold, cruel design of Souper's "home" and the constant, overflowing tables of food (TikTok creators identified luxury grub as the new status symbol ages ago) — are cartoonish in a way that makes you cringe for the creator. The machine gun references to "going to the moon" and bunkers in New Zealand are groan-worthy. His filming style — all shaky cam and quick zoom-ins — ape the reality-TV feel of Succession, but can't pull anything out of Mountainhead's characters except insufferably flat reaction shots. It's clear Armstrong thinks his dip into the world of wannabe tech oligarchs is clever and new, but it quickly becomes repetitive and boring. You can recreate the same effect by doomscrolling Twitter for 20 minutes and you might see a cute cat gif. There are going to be Succession-heads who thought the show deserved 10 more seasons and will likely christen Mountainhead meaningful satire. However, if you do not fall into this group, I implore you to go for a run, touch grass, hug a loved one, draw a picture, bake a cake — all of these actions are more radical in their defiance of dangerous billionaires than watching a rushed recreation of our current societal woes. Mountainhead is streaming on Max now.
