ASAP Rocky playfully dodged a question about his long-awaited new album, Don't Be Dumb, during Paris Fashion Week, telling a paparazzo, "You gon' get me beat up out here" in response to the inquiry. The rapper, who has been teasing the album since 2022, smiled as he joked,
'Don't do me like that. Listen, don't make me do that right now, man. You gonna get me beat up out here, bro. They looking, they on my head, bro. 'Cause of questions like that! I can't even... I gotta go.' His fans, eagerly awaiting the release, were left with no new updates on the album's release date, which was originally set for August 2024 before being delayed due to sample clearance issues and leaks.

In 2023, Rocky teased that Don't Be Dumb would feature production from top names such as Tyler, the Creator, Madlib, Hit-Boy, Boi-1da, Alchemist, Metro Boomin, Mike Dean, and Clams Casino. Last month, he confirmed that the album is "done" but has still yet to announce a specific release date.
In a GQ interview, Rocky expressed that fans are "starving" for his music, adding, 'The truth of the matter is fans, they're starving. And I don't think that any of us—it's numerous artists, Frank Ocean, Lauryn Hill, D'Angelo, Rihanna, whoever. I think those people who really take their time to put out timeless pieces, projects, and bodies of work, that's all that matters."

Kim Kardashian reacts to Paris robbery verdict with powerful statement
Kim Kardashian has spoken out following the guilty verdict in the 2016 armed robbery case that left her traumatized during Paris Fashion Week. On May 23, a French court convicted eight people involved in the high-profile jewel heist, while two others were acquitted or faced unrelated charges. Due to the defendants' advanced age and health issues, none will serve additional prison time. Kardashian, 44, was robbed at gunpoint in her Paris hotel room, where assailants stole $9 million in jewelry, including a 20-carat diamond ring from then-husband Kanye West. In a statement, she expressed deep gratitude to French authorities for pursuing justice. 'This crime was the most terrifying experience of my life, leaving a lasting impact on me and my family,' Kardashian said. 'While I'll never forget what happened, I believe in the power of growth and accountability and pray for healing for all.' The verdict followed a month-long trial where Kardashian bravely testified in Paris, recalling how she begged for her life. Aomar Ait Khedache, the 69-year-old ringleader, apologized in a letter read aloud during the proceedings. Another defendant, Yunice Abbas, 72, who wrote a book titled I Kidnapped Kim Kardashian, also expressed remorse. Kardashian's legal team praised her courage and reaffirmed her ongoing dedication to justice reform. The verdict came shortly after Kardashian completed her law program, continuing the legacy of her father, attorney Robert Kardashian. She now looks forward to putting the traumatic chapter behind her while advocating for victims and meaningful legal change.

Jenna Ortega channels Carrie Bradshaw in red carpet look
From the Venice International Film Festival to the brand's Paris Fashion Week, Jenna Ortega has stayed committed to Dior on various occasions in the past. Last Tuesday, she debuted another look from the brand - or, should we say, revived? As per Marie Claire, Ortega strutted onto the red carpet of her film Hurry Up Tomorrow's world premiere in Carrie Bradshaw's iconic newspaper print dress, in obedience to the carpet's "black, white, and red all over" theme. But it wasn't just nostalgia that Ortega was boasting, it was also her awareness of the brand's catalogue. Designed by then-Creative Director John Galliano, the cowl neck mini dress first launched as part of Dior's Fall/Winter 2000 Ready-to-Wear show, complemented by a glittering pair of boots and metallic gold makeup. But it truly became a symbol of vintage excellence after Sarah Jessica Parker's Carrie wore it in Season 3 of Sex and the City, marking the dress as the character's signature look. While the newspaper columnist opted for open-toe black heels and a white clutch, Ortega styled her look with a set of golden - strappy heels, rings, and a bracelet - and a necklace sporting a star pendant. Her shadowy eye makeup was more in line with the inky clippings that the dress flaunted, adding a muted touch to the overall look. "I love this dress. You know, it's also very comfortable," the Wednesday star told Entertainment Tonight. Crediting her stylist Enrique Melendez for fetching the piece for her, she added, "My friend Enrique, who somehow got this dress from a random vault, is a legend as well [as Carrie Bradshaw]." On Thursday, Ortega was announced as a new ambassador for Dior Beauty on the brand's official Instagram account. "It is a tailor-made role for this rising star who, through her values and her personality, is already inspiring an entire generation," Dior said in a statement, as per Cosmetics Business. Speaking of the appointment, the Beetlejuice Beetlejuice actor said, "The House of Dior symbolises audacity, elegance, and timelessness, and being part of it is both incredibly exciting and surreal." Recalling her first experience with makeup as a child actor, she added, "The first time I wore lipstick, I must have been 10 or 11 and it was for work, because I started acting when I was so little. I was wearing my mom's lipstick; we were just in the bathroom of the studio and she put it on me."

Kim Kardashian faces accused robbers after 9 years in Paris trial, recounts the terrifying ordeal
Kim Kardashian took to the stand in Paris on Tuesday to testify against the suspects accused of robbing her at gunpoint nearly nine years ago during the infamous heist at the Hôtel de Pourtalès. The ten men, dubbed the 'grandpa robbers' by the French press due to their ages, are accused of stealing $9 million worth of jewelry from the reality star during Paris Fashion Week in 2016. Kardashian described the terrifying events that unfolded that night, recounting how, in the early hours, the robbers, disguised as police officers, burst into her hotel room and restrained her at gunpoint. Wearing only a bathrobe, she was zip-tied, her mouth taped shut, and her life flashed before her eyes. 'I absolutely did think I was going to die,' Kardashian said in a tearful testimony. 'I was certain that was the moment he was going to rape me.' The reality star's account revealed how the robbers, who had initially handcuffed a concierge, quickly overpowered her in the room, demanding her jewelry. One of the robbers pointed a gun at her head, dragging her to the bathtub while shouting, 'Ring! Ring!' to indicate their desire for her diamonds. Kardashian explained that she believed the attack was part of a terrorist plot, adding, 'I thought it was some sort of terrorist attack.' Despite the terrifying circumstances, Kardashian's thoughts remained with her children, as she repeatedly told the robbers, 'I have babies,' fearing she wouldn't survive the ordeal. After the robbery, she hid in a bathroom, terrified the robbers might return to eliminate any witnesses. The trial marks the first time Kardashian has faced the accused since the robbery. In her testimony, she expressed how the heist drastically changed her life. She acknowledged that the robbery has left an emotional and psychological toll, with her security measures becoming far more stringent. 'My style in security is completely different now,' she shared, revealing that she now employs multiple security guards at all times and refrains from posting real-time social media updates. Kardashian also addressed false claims that the robbery had been staged for her reality show, "Keeping Up with the Kardashians," dismissing them as deeply hurtful. 'It was really hard for me when people said I'd made it up for my TV show,' she explained. The defendants, some of whom are in their 60s and 70s, had reportedly used Kardashian's social media posts to track her whereabouts, leading to the planned heist. Notably, one of the accused, Aomar Ait Khedache, a deaf and mute 69-year-old, wrote a letter of apology to Kardashian during the trial, expressing regret for his role in the crime. However, he, along with another defendant, has faced significant health issues—one defendant even passed away before the trial, and another was excused due to illness. Another, Yunice Abbas, published a book about the robbery, further capturing media attention. In the aftermath of the robbery, Kardashian has become a vocal advocate for security and privacy, and the trial continues to shed light on the traumatic impact of the event on her life. The fate of those responsible for robbing Kardashian of her jewelry—and her peace of mind—remains to be determined, as the trial is still ongoing.
