Khloe Kardashian ‘Feels Pressure' to Match ‘Filtered' Image, Spends ‘Hours' Setting Up Perfect Photos: Source
While the Good American co-founder, 41, claimed on the July 16 episode of her Khloé in Wonder Land podcast that she doesn't photoshop her pictures anymore, a source tells Star, she still 'feels this pressure to live up to this filtered version of herself.'
'She spends hours setting up the perfect shot, between the lighting and the glam session, it's a full production every single time just to take a selfie,' the source reveals. 'And she won't stop at one. She'll take hundreds of nearly identical photos, then obsess over which one to post.'
The source explains that after The Kardashians star gets opinions from her team, she 'still goes back and forth over which one to post.'
'It's never just snap and go,' the source shares. 'It takes hours to get something she feels is worthy of posting.'
The source adds that the reality TV personality has her phone on her at all times, 'because she's built this image that's so curated.'
On the July 16 podcast episode, the Keeping up with the Kardashians alum admitted that she doesn't consider herself very 'photogenic' and copped to taking hundreds of photos to find one that she likes.
However, Kardashian also said her Photoshopping days were behind her — a claim that fans didn't buy.
'I don't [Photoshop photos], but there was a time that I definitely did,' she told listeners. 'There was a time that I was around some people that would make me feel like I needed to. I also think it was the era, too. I felt like a lot of people were Photoshopping or heavily Photoshopping more than they do now.'
'I do feel like there was a time that we all just got consumed in this filter lifestyle, and we couldn't see ourselves without a filter,' Kardashian recounted. 'And there's definitely days that I'm like, 'Ugh, I need a filter, I don't feel good about myself.' But I'm on video. And I do like myself better in video than stills.'
The media personality noted that she didn't even know what she looked like in real life because people in her circle would retouch her photos before showing them to her.
'If they took my photo, they would make me look that way before giving it to me. And then I would think that's how I looked,' she admitted. 'And if I got paparazzied, I'd be like, 'I don't look like that. I look like this photo.''
'I really had to reprogram my mind to think, 'Okay, we have to lay off the filters. This isn't real,'' she shared. ''That's not how I look. And I don't want to look like that.''

Brooklyn Beckham Shares Sweet Tribute to Sister Harper on 14th Birthday Amid Ongoing Family Feud
Brooklyn Beckham is sending birthday wishes to his little sister, Harper. On Thursday, June 10, the youngest of David and Victoria Beckham's children turned 14 years old. To mark the occasion, Brooklyn, 26, took to his Instagram Story to share a sweet tribute. Brooklyn posted a photo of him and wife Nicola Peltz smiling with their arms around Harper, who stands in the middle. 'Happy birthday harper we love you x,' he wrote in white text on the photo. The photographer's post comes as rumors about a family feud continue to swirl. A source close to the situation exclusively told Star recently that Brooklyn and Nicola, 30, are standing up to his parents. 'David and Victoria have been relentless for the last five years, constantly going after Brooklyn and Nicola,' the insider said. 'There's been this ongoing pressure and criticism, they just can't seem to let Brooklyn and Nicola live their lives.' The source added that Brooklyn has been 'trying to make his own way' in the world. 'He doesn't deserve to be belittled or ignored for that,' the insider explained. 'It's as if they're rattled and getting terrible advice, and now, Brooklyn and Nicola are finally standing up for themselves.' After Brooklyn and Nicola were absent from David Beckham's 50th birthday celebration in May — which his three siblings, Cruz, 20, Romeo, 22, and Harper, attended — a source told People that the couple skipped out because they didn't want to be around Romeo's then-girlfriend, Kim Turnbull. The source alleged that Brooklyn and Turnbull, 24, dated, but the model denied those reports on her Instagram Story on June 16. 'I have never been romantically involved in ANY capacity at ANY point with the person in question,' she wrote, referring to Brooklyn. 'Nothing between us has occurred further than a school friendship at age 16. I would like to remove myself from the ongoing conversation & set the record straight for the sake of everyone involved.' Shortly after the legendary soccer player's birthday party, Romeo and Turnbull broke up. Despite the drama, David included Brooklyn in his heartfelt Father's Day post. The former LA Galaxy player shared an Instagram carousel filled with snaps of all four of his children. 'My most important & favourite job in life is being a dad… I'm so proud of all of you and like daddy ( sorry boys ) tells you every single day I will always be here for you no matter what… Mummy thank you for doing the most important part and making me a father there is no greater gift in life than making me a dad… Happy Father's Day… I love you kiddies more than you could imagine.. 🩷🩷🩷🩷 @victoriabeckham @brooklynpeltzbeckham @romeobeckham@cruzbeckham #HarperSeven @tedbeckhamdavid 🩷,' David captioned his post.

Victoria and David Beckham ‘Panicked' by the Possibility of Being ‘Cut Off' From Grandkids (Exclusive)
Victoria and David Beckham have reportedly grown distant from their son Brooklyn and his wife, Nicola, as rumors of family drama continue to swirl – but a source exclusively tells Star that they're willing to 'extend an olive branch' if it means having a relationship with their future grandchildren. Three years after saying 'I Do,' the young couple have been 'openly talking' about wanting to start a family of their own soon, and David, 50, and Victoria, 51, are 'pretty panicked' about what that means for them, the insider reveals. 'If they don't fix things soon, they could very well end up cut off from their first grandchild,' adds the insider of the concerned parents, who also share kids Romeo, 22, Cruz, 20, and Harper, 14. 'That's a terrifying prospect for both of them, so there's a new sense of urgency to sort this out.' Amid the growing family tension, the former Spice Girl and the retired professional soccer player do feel 'somewhat heartened' by the sweet birthday message that Brooklyn, 26, and Nicola, 30, penned for Harper on her 14th birthday. As Star previously reported, Brooklyn took to his Instagram Story on June 10 to share an adorable snapshot of him, Nicola and Harper smiling for the camera. The insider tells Star that David and Victoria took the gesture as a 'positive' sign for the future of their relationship. 'For all the awfulness that has happened, there were good times,' continues the insider. 'They want to meet up with Nicola and Brooklyn, and have a proper heart-to-heart to clear the air so they can get back to being a family again.' The Beckhams are even considering hopping on a flight to the United States to do it. 'Victoria, especially, has always dreamed of being a hands-on grandmother, and the thought of missing out is devastating,' explains the insider. 'They know time is running out. They don't want to miss this important stage in their son's life.' As for how Brooklyn and Nicola would feel about the idea, a separate source says it's been 'very hard' on them to be 'on the receiving end of relentless attacks' so 'any change of approach' could be 'helpful.' While their family relationships remain rocky, Brooklyn and Nicola are choosing to strengthen their own bond. On Saturday, August 2, the pair decided to quietly renew their vows, according to People. 'The event is about honoring the love and commitment they've built together over the years, and creating a memory that will stay with them forever,' a source spilled to the outlet of the romantic moment. Earlier this year, Brooklyn also professed his affection for his wife in a sweet love letter shared to their Instagram Stories as they celebrated their third wedding anniversary. 'Dear Nicola, Happy anniversary baby x I love you so much and I continue to fall more in love with you every second,' the note read. 'You make me a better man and I couldn't ask for a better partner x you are my soul and my rock x I love you so much Nicola xx Love brooklyn xxxxxxx <3 <3.' Solve the daily Crossword

San Francisco's Buzziest Bakers Collab on Exclusive Cookie Drop
is the associate editor for the Northern California and Pacific Northwest region writing about restaurant and bar trends, coffee and cafes, and pop-ups. An old-school San Francisco chocolatier is working with four trendy confectioners for one week this August. In honor of National Cookie Day on Monday, August 4, Ghirardelli linked with Tano, StaySweetSF, Sixth Course, and the French Spot for their own riffs on chocolate chip cookies. At Sixth Course, it's a milk and cookies gelato pop, for instance, and at the French Spot there's a hazelnut mocha cookie. The spread of treats is available until Sunday, August 10. The partnership marks a keen sense of spotting buzzy bakers by the longtime San Francisco-founded chocolate company. Tano, one of the city's most line-inducing bakeries this year, is serving Guamanian-inspired coconut candy dark chocolate chip cookies. StaySweetSF — a fine dining pastry chef's love letter to the city — is serving hojicha-infused cookies at Shoji on Saturday, August 9 and Commis on Sunday, August 10. Mister Jiu's brings back banquet menus The country's only Michelin-star-holding Chinese restaurant Mister Jiu's is ditching its tasting menu. As of Wednesday, August 6 the a la carte menu is back in action in addition to a Chinatown-inspired banquet meal for $125 built around its famous Peking duck. The San Francisco Chronicle reports chef Brandon Jew felt the tasting menu wasn't quite the right vibe, but he's still not sure how the math maths going forward; the tasting menu pivot was to try and keep the checkbook balanced in the first place. Bulldog-inspired wine bar hits SF The now-closed Turkish restaurant Tuba is set to flip into Frenchie by the end of August. It's helmed by former La Mar Cocina Peruana wine director Joel Arias and is a nod to Arias's French bulldog Dolcetto. Wines grown by the cycles of the moon and organic fare alike star on the menu. The San Francisco Standard reports there'll even be an on-site dog walker for fellow pup lovers. Famous winery opens books for 2026 The Robert Mondavi Winery, one of California's most famous wineries and closed since 2023, is now taking reservations for its official grand reopening in spring 2026, lining up with the Oakville property's 60th anniversary. Three packages are available, ranging from $55 to $125 with various levels of engagement on the estate (and increasing amounts of wine drinking) scaling throughout the options. Reservations, sure to be snatched up quick, can be made through Tock.
