Kourtney Kardashian Responds To Pregnancy Rumors
It's not the first time it's happened, either. Back in 2020, Kourtney also had to shut down a fan who was loud and wrong in assuming she was pregnant based on a bikini photo she shared.
Reacting to a picture of her on a patio, the fan excitedly wrote, "SHE'S PREGNANT 🎉🎉.
Kourtney was quick to deny it, writing, "This is me when I have a few extra pounds on, and I actually love it. I have given birth three amazing times and this is the shape of my body."
She has since welcomed a fourth child, 1-year-old son Rocky, with Travis Barker, who joins her children, Mason, 15, Penelope, 13, and Reign, 10, with her ex Scott Disick.
Unfortunately, that hasn't stopped fans from speculating that Kourtney is growing her family again. Just yesterday, she found herself on the defense after sharing pictures from an Italian getaway for her daughter Penelope's 13th birthday.
In one of the photos, Kourtney can be seen standing in front of a mirror, wearing what looks like a black drawstring bikini.
It had many thinking she's "definitely" pregnant again.
"You can tell from the bikini reflection photo Kourtney is pregnant again," one fan said, leading to a direct reply from Kourtney herself.
"Or," she said, "[I'm] breastfeeding, eating gelato, focaccia, pasta, not working out and living my best damn life baby!"
"We could just normalize what a regular body looks like!" a fan added, arguing, "She doesn't have to be pregnant to look real. Y'all are use[d] to unreal expectations and mommy makeovers. Personally, I think she looks great!"
Other fans agreed. "Where are we getting she's pregnant?" one user wondered. "From the mirror pic that isn't in a well lit area? You literally have to zoom in and you still can't really see." They also stated, "Her body doesn't need to look like her sisters. She is her own person. She's human just like us."
"God people why body shame a person who is clearly living life and doesn't care what anyone has to say..think before you speak," another said.
Well said! Basically, Kourtney's vibe right now is just living life. Leave her alone!

Gene Sarazen: The Life of ‘The Squire'
Charismatic, lively, and outstandingly driven, Gene Sarazen exemplified the soul and spirit of his era. Coinciding with the mass production of automobiles, the introduction of sound in movies, and the expansion of electrical recordings and radio, Sarazen was a household name equivalent to Babe Ruth or Lou Gehrig. In 1932, he was voted the Associated Press Athlete of the Year, winning over them both. An inventor and lifelong ambassador of the game, his improbable shot in 1935—dubbed the 'Shot Heard Round the World'—endures as the pinnacle of the sport's legend. The Self-Taught 'Squire' Born in 1902 as Eugenio Saraceni in 'a small Italian colony,' north of New York City, 'midway between Rye and Harrison, New York,' his father, Federico Saraceni, was an Italian immigrant carpenter. His father was said to be displeased with his son's chosen profession, although Eugenio posted a steady string of successes as a golfer, amassing great interest from fans and colleagues. Saraceni returned to Italy to retire after the death of his wife.

Pro-Palestinian protest prompts onstage scuffle at Royal Opera House in London
LONDON -- A performer holding a Palestinian flag touched off a brief scuffle on stage at the Royal Opera House in London as cast members were taking their bows following the season's final performance of 'Il Trovatore.' Images posted on social media show what appears to be a member of the chorus holding the unfurled flag in front of his chest while the lead singers bask in the audience's applause on Saturday night. After a few moments, someone backstage tries to grab the flag, but the performer holds onto it and snaps back into place. 'The display of the flag was an unauthorized action by the artist,' the opera company said in a statement on Sunday. 'It was not approved by the Royal Ballet and Opera and is a wholly inappropriate act.' The opera company declined to comment when asked whether the performer would face any disciplinary action. 'Il Trovatore,' which translates as 'The Troubadour,' is an 1853 opera by the Italian composer Giuseppe Verdi. Director Adele Thomas' production reinterprets the story of desire and an all-consuming curse, the opera said.

Ballet22 proves gender norms have no place in dance with electrifying S.F. show
A note inside the program for Ballet22's 2025 season encourages the audience to 'please clap and cheer for the dancers.' But the raucously adoring crowd at Cowell Theater for opening night hardly needed the reminder. Founded in Oakland in 2020, Ballet22 is a small but ambitious pick-up troupe with a mission that, in these politically vicious times, presents a bold and joyful resistance. This is a company of men, trans and non-binary dancers who perform in pointe shoes, and not — as with the long-famous drag troupe Les Ballets Trockadero — for the sake of farce. Put more simply: in a world where gender norms are all too often tools of oppression, Ballet22 celebrates the freedom of being fully and unapologetically yourself. These summer shows, which kicked off Saturday, July 19, mark the group's ninth in-person program. But as attacks on gender non-conformity intensify, Ballet22's vision keeps becoming more urgent — just as the dancers' pointe technique grows more impressive. Zsilas Michael Hughes, a corps member with Seattle's Pacific Northwest Ballet, was iconic on Saturday, their broad shoulders and muscled bare legs offset by the delicate white feathers of a 'Swan Lake' costume. Hughes had a lovely rubato quality, lowering that high développé leg to fifth on pointe oh so slowly. And if they struggled a bit with the balance-testing arm movements on the step up to an attitude, such honesty of effort is part of what Ballet22 offers. Daniel R. Durrett, a Boston Ballet soloist who is also one of Ballet22's three co-directors, was happy to admit in a mid-show curtain speech that he'd just had a small slip in his 'Esmeralda' variation, because 'I made it work.' (Indeed he did, improvising a cover for skipping that third round of tambourine-to-toe taps because that working foot pushing into relevé said, 'No sorry, not today.') As is customary at Ballet22 shows, every dancer got to show off a classical variation. Victor Maguad, who usually dances with Sacramento Ballet, pulled off a spectacular series of attitude hops on pointe in Leonid Lavrovsky's delicate choreography for 'Walpurgistnacht.' Trevor Williams was wonderfully playful in the famously devilish variation by Marius Petipa for 'Le Talisman.' Jake Speakman rocked the Italian fouettés in Medora's Act 2 variation from 'Le Corsaire.' But my favorite was Kobe Courtney, who trained at the San Francisco Ballet School, ravishingly fluid in her backbends as she portrayed the temple dancer Nikiya's death from 'La Bayadere.' It was Courtney who shone brightest, too, in 'City of Humans,' a sometimes serene, sometimes sassy trio to Schubert by American Ballet Theatre principal James Whiteside. Originally choreographed for three female dancers, it was previously titled 'City of Women.' In this iteration, Maguad moved with a beautiful legato smoothness. But it was Courtney who commanded the space with huge jumps and a gorgeously stretched échappé. The crowning accomplishment of the night was 'You Can Have Me!' a world premiere by former Forsythe Company member and now kNoname Artist director Roderick George, created in just two weeks. The sextet — dressed in brown tunics, sans pointe shoes — launched with a disco ball and a hip-shimmying romp through Donna Summer's 'I Feel Love.' It was something of a gut-punch when the next section brought voiceovers of newscasters discussing the AIDS epidemic, as the dancers moved in slow motion. Maguad had a beseeching solo to a clip from writer and performance artist Alok Vaid-Menon's 2024 Ford Foundation talk: 'The reason that people are seeking to oppress you is not because you are weak or fragile. It's precisely because you're powerful and tremendous.' In the final section, to music by Pittsburgh performance collective Slowdanger, Hughes and Durrett shared an intense and often subtly virtuosic duet, Hughes curled on the floor as Durrett danced on above. The work was an ensemble statement of committed higher purpose. As co-founder Theresa Knudson announced from the stage, Ballet22 will be back at the Cowell next July, and tickets are already on sale.
