Kylie Jenner's post about Greek island restaurant goes viral for all the wrong reasons
Owners of a restaurant visited by Kylie Jenner received an unexpected amount of backlash after sharing her dining experience. The reality star, 27, enjoyed a meal at Tassia Restaurant in the Greek village of Fiscardo earlier in the month, much to the delight of the owners.
Polychronis Dendrinos and Tassia Dendrinou gushed over the "true honour" after welcoming Kylie to their establishment on July 12. Such was their pride, they took to Instagram to post their happiness, labelling Kylie an "iconic entrepreneur and global trendsetter".
Uploading an image of the pair flanking Kylie, the owners wrote: "An inspiring guest, and one of the most influential women of her generation."
They continued: "She experienced a taste of our Greek hospitality and cuisine. It was a true pleasure to host such a remarkable guest. We hope to welcome her again soon! Dendrinos Family."
But despite their own pride of the occasion, it appears users online were less appreciative. One user bluntly asked: "'Honour? Why different from any other guest?"
'Honour? For what?," fumed another. "For [being] plastic [and lying] about it and [making] young girls insecure about [themselves]? Ohh noooo!."
And a third seemed to echo the opinion. They then slammed: "Thanks! Now I know where NOT to go."
It wasn't all negative vibes, though, with other users telling the owners to ignore the "jealous" commenters. "This comment section is so negative. If I had Kylie come visit my restaurant I would post about it too," admitted another.
Kylie had also shared a snap from her trip on her own social media page. Her own image showed her and BFF Anastasia Karanikolaou enjoying their meal by the harbour
The restaurant boasts a number of traditional home-cooked dishes. And they also claim all produce is based locally, with the majority of the vegetables used in the spot grown in their own garden.
And Kylie is far from the first famous face to descend on the restaurant. Back in 2022, Demi Moore paid the spot a visit. Similarly to their post about Kylie, the owners gushed over the actress and praised her "timeless beauty and solid personality" saying it was "bright enough to capture our hearts".
Kylie recently missed her half-bother Brody's wedding after he tied the knot in Malibu. Both Kylie and sister Kendall decided to swerve the occasion after reports they didn't RSVP to Brody's commitment ceremony in Bali with his then girlfriend, Kaitlynn Carter, in 2018.
Despite skipping the recent wedding in California, a source told TMZ there is no bad blood, but "mutual love" between the Jenners sisters and Brody. They suggested Kylie and Kendall may have swerved the event "to keep the spotlight on the bride and groom".

We visit Rhyl's new seafront food hall and pick the biggest queue
The new Queen's Market in Rhyl has officially opened its doors to the pubic. The long-awaited development includes 16 individual food and retail units, a double-sided theme bar and a large events space, and promises to be an integral community space right in the heart of Rhyl. The food hall and market cost over £12m to develop and received funding from the Welsh Government, largely through its transforming towns programme. The project has also received funding from the UK Government and by Denbighshire County Council. The new glass fronted building certainly looks sleek and contemporary with a mezzanine for additional seating, alongside a nod to the past with a mural, which shows how Queens Street used to look like in days gone by. The venue looks well set up to host a variety of live entertainment and events with a full-size stage and tv screens showing live sport around the venue. However, it was the delicious aroma drifting from the food courts, which we were interested in testing out today. The list of independent vendors is certainly impressive, with a choice that will unquestionably please the fussiest of families. Bad burgers and dirty dogs offer a range of handmade smash burgers and gourmet hotdogs with a variety of fully loaded fries and a range of soft drinks. Go Greek offer a full range of traditional Greek food with souvlaki, halloumi fries and Greek desserts. There is a noodle bar called Kumo Ramen alongside a wide range of Thai food including red and green curries and pad Thai from Kinn Kinn. Fans of pizza won't be disappointed with freshy made, hand-stretched, stone-baked pizzas, from Little Italy pizza Rhyl. Wrapped and loaded offer artisan wraps, with high protein fillings, whilst Street Pot cook up Caribbean delights and feature dishes such as jerk chicken, jerk curry, rice and peas, and fried plantain. Pudz Ice Cream rolls dish out ice cream rolls, freshly made waffles and crepes, which can be topped with classic toppings such as fresh fruit, chocolate, cream and more, as well as their famous fresh milkshakes. Donat DWT, entice you with a full range of glazed and filled donuts. You can wash it all down with spill the beans, who serve up freshly ground coffee, a choice of artisan tea as well as pastries and cake favourites. The full-service bar, which provides drinks for both the events area and the market space is named 'The Spirit of Rhyl' and run by Spirit of Wales distillery, where visitors can even make their own flavoured gin. Now, where do you start with such a vast list of options. The different sweet and savory aromas from each of the vendors played havoc with my senses. We decided to go for the one with the biggest queue, as that was surely a good sign? Although all the vendors looked pretty busy to be fair. Go Greek had a number of pitta wraps, kebabs and special boxes on the menu, which was certainly attracting the customers. When you think of Greek food you probably think of the delicious Greek chicken gyros. Vendors line the streets in all the Greek cities with their vertical rotisserie of meat (either pork or chicken) The name gyro comes from the Greek word for 'turn': the meat is usually cooked on a vertical spit. We ordered a special chicken gyro box for £10, which included fries, salad and tzatziki. They give you a buzzer that will light up and vibrate when your food is ready. I kept staring at the buzzer in anticipation but still got started, when it actually went off. It only took about 10 minutes for order to be ready and that was with a fairly big queue. Our plan was to share the Greek box between the two of us and then grab a cake and drink from a different vendor. The generous Greek portion was easily enough for two people, especially for a lunch time meal. The chicken thighs were marinated and tasted succulent and juicy. The salad consisted of shredded lettuce, tomato, and thinly sliced onion. Tzatziki is one of the most common dips you'll find in Greek cuisine. The cucumber yogurt dip really added a bit of zing to the dish. I could see why the kiosk was proving such a huge hit. Go Greek had desserts such as Baklava or Portokalopita, which is a very popular orange cake. However, in the interest of trying a different vendor, we headed to 'spill the beans' for coffee and cake. Spill the beans had a variety of hot or cold drinks with a small cake menu. The cakes included the usual traditional fare of Victoria sponges, lemon drizzle and tiffin. After a bit of hesitation, I opted for a crunchie brownie, which was surprisingly dense and gooey with a layer of honeycomb on the top. My wife went for her usual fruit scone with lashings of jam and cream, and was certainly not disappointed. She washed it down with a small americano with hot milk, whilst I went for the intriguingly titled 'mango and dragon fruit' drink. It turned out to be a bit like a blue passionfruit squash but it did the job of quenching my first after the rich chocolate brownie. The place was very busy with a real buzz in the air, helped as it was the start of the summer holidays. We walked around the vendors and noticed Aber falls gin and Conwy brewery were selling their wares, alongside a sweet shop and a soon to be opened sandwich kiosk. Upstairs, there were dart boards, shuffleboards and table top football games to entertain the whole family. The new 'Queens Market' offers a variety of street food from independent vendors, all under one brand new shiny roof. The designers have a done a good job of preserving its proud past whilst embracing the future. These kinds of Artisan markets have done well in other parts of the country, and I must admit, I was more than impressed with the entertainment options and variety of choice on offer in the revitalized food courts of the Queens Market. The Facts Go Greek Special Box £10 Sill The Beans coffee Scone £4.00 Brownie £3.75 Americano £3.35 Mango and Dragon refresher £3.75 £14.85 Opening Times: Monday to Saturday 10am to 10pm Sunday 10am to 8pm Atmosphere- Busy and buzzing due to the start of the summer holidays Car Parking- We managed to get the last spot available in a rather small car park to the right of the building £1.50. Disabled Access- Full disabled access and toilets. Service- Order at your vendor of choice and grab a buzzer Overall- We tested the food courts at the brand new revitalized 'Queens Market' in Rhyl.

Brooke Hogan's emotional way of remembering her late dad Hulk after bitter family feud
Hulk Hogan 's daughter Brooke has remembered her father in an emotional way despite their estrangement and bitter family feud. Earlier this week on Thursday, the WWE icon passed away at the age of 71 after going into cardiac arrest at his home in Clearwater, Florida. But months before his sudden death, Brooke gave birth to twins in January - a boy and a girl - and her daughter's moniker has a sweet tribute to Hogan, a source told TMZ in an article published on Friday. Her daughter's full name is Molly Gene Olesky - with the middle name being the same as the late wrestler's. Although Brooke, 37, and Hulk had a tumultuous relationship for years, insiders informed the outlet that she still cared for her father. TMZ reported that both she and husband Steven Olesky had moved down to Florida in order to be closer to Hogan, but they never had the chance to strengthen their bond. Hulk welcomed Brooke as well as son Nick, 34, with ex-wife Linda - whom he was married to from 1983 to 2009. He later tied the knot with Jennifer McDaniel in 2010 until their divorce in 2021. Two years later, the WWE legend said 'I do' to Sky Daily and the pair were married up until his death on Thursday. Brooke learned of her father's passing when Nick reached out to her husband Steven to share the devastating news. Olesky - who is a former NHL player - later broke his silence on his father-in-law's death by commenting on a friend's tribute to the wrestler and wrote: 'Thank you for the love and support for my beautiful wife. 'We are incredibly lucky to have you in our lives - not just during this challenging time, but always.' Brooke and her father last spoke nearly two years earlier in September 2023 only weeks before he married Sky. On that call, Brooke expressed love and concern for her father - telling him that he shouldn't be working so hard due to his declining health. Despite her pleas for him to enjoy more of his life, those requests fell on deaf ears. The pair didn't speak again. The outlet also claims that Hulk apologized to Brooke on the call, but it wasn't clear what that apology was for. TMZ also reported this week that Brooke was concerned with what was going on in Hulk's life and was protective of him. However, their relationship wasn't reparable. Despite multiple attempts from her husband to fix their relationship, including when Brooke almost died in childbirth, Hulk 'responded coldly and never made an effort to meet Brooke's kids,' per TMZ. The outlet added that Hulk seemingly 'only wanted a relationship with her under his terms.' Back in April, exclusively revealed that Hogan was 'heartbroken' about his ongoing family feud - specifically with Brooke. 'The massive uphill battle might finally be taking place,' an inside source stated. 'Hogan is finally hearing and listening to those that have been thrown in different directions by his behavior. He is looking to make up for past bad decisions.' While it's said that Hogan wanted to stay as 'far away from Linda as possible', our source added: 'He's heartbroken that he doesn't have a relationship with his daughter and would love someday to rectify that. 'As this current drama has occurred and all the s*** that he has gone through piles on to itself, he is finally looking to see if he can make amends and help rather than hurt. 'He knows that many will think it is a boy who cried wolf situation, and it will be hard to trust him - but he is looking to do the work.' The insider added, 'Nothing will be overnight but now that his daughter and his ex-wife have said their things, he is taking it to heart and hopefully it will lead to a change for the better.' Hulk's reputation was damaged in the mid-2000s in a leaked audio recording when discussing how a Black man was interesting in bankrolling Brooke's attempt at a music career. Hogan told a family friend: 'I don't know if Brooke was f***ing the black guy's son... I mean, I don't have double standards. 'I mean, I am a racist, to a point, f***ing n******. But then when it comes to nice people and s***, and whatever.' He continued: 'I mean, I'd rather if she was going to f*** some n*****, I'd rather have her marry an 8-foot-tall n***** worth a hundred million dollars! Like a basketball player! I guess we're all a little racist. F***ing n*****.' Brooke wasn't the only one the wrestling legend had issues with. In recent months, his ex-wife Linda lashed out at Hulk - calling him a 'complete liar [and] a sex addict' who had left their family in the 'worst mess.' But just days before his death, Linda paid a special tribute to Hulk on Instagram as she shared a throwback photo of the pair from the 80s. In the caption, she had written: 'The good old days!' After Hogan's death was announced, his widow Sky broke her silence and penned to Instagram on Friday: 'I wasn't ready for this... and my heart is in pieces. 'He had been dealing with some health issues, but I truly believed we would overcome them. I had so much faith in his strength. I thought we still had more time.' She added, 'This loss is sudden and impossible to process. To the world, he was a legend... but to me, he was my Terry. The man I loved. My partner. My heart. 'Hulk loved his fans so much and despite his growing physical discomfort, he did everything he could to show up, sign autographs, take photos, and connect with the people who supported him through it all. You meant everything to him.' Daily concluded with, 'He was a believer in Christ, and I take comfort knowing his soul is at peace and he's been welcomed home. Please keep his family and all of us who loved him in your prayers as we try to navigate this new reality.' Before his death, Hogan had undergone neck surgery and Sky claimed that his heart was 'strong' amid claims he was on his deathbed in a coma. The late star's rep also expressed in a statement, 'He's had problems with his back for years but there's no emergency.' A source told that the WWE icon was trying to get back to '100 percent' following both neck and back surgeries. 'Hulk has a body ravaged by wrestling, his body is the body of a 140-year-old man with all the bumps and bruises through the years, and his recent neck and back surgeries have been harder to come back from,' the insider said.

And Kmet's event planner, Ellie Nottoli, shared behind-the-scenes details from the wedding, including a photo of an invitation letter that was addressed to 'Taylor and Travis Kelce.'

'It's not that weird. it's solely for aesthetic purposes.'; 'Technically it should be Travis and Taylor Kelce'; 'That's usually standard for weddings i believe.'
