Kris Jenner Radiates During Dinner at Nobu After Seemingly Dropping Merch About Her Viral Glow-Up
Kris Jenner enjoyed a girls' night out on Friday, June 6. Jenner, 69, was spotted arriving to dinner at Los Angeles' Nobu hotspot in photos obtained by Us Weekly, dressed chicly in a black coat with embellished flowers and a coordinating pair of sunglasses. For glam, Jenner wore her signature dark tresses in a chic, slightly feathered bob. Several hours earlier, the Kardashians matriarch debuted her newest business venture based on her now-viral plastic surgery results. She dropped a white T-shirt that read, 'I'll have what Kris Jenner is having,' as part of son Rob Kardashian's Arthur George brand. The limited-edition top retails for $40. While Jenner hasn't detailed her merch inspiration, it's been presumed to be a nod to her recent aesthetic glow-up. Us Weekly confirmed earlier this month that Jenner went to plastic surgeon Dr. Steven Levine in New York City for a cosmetic procedure. Kris Jenner Reveals Kylie Jenner's Breast Surgeon Also Did Her 1st Facelift in 2011 While it's not known precisely what Jenner had done, she's previously been candid about her plastic surgery journey. She's gone under the knife for facelifts, an earlobe reduction and got Botox injections. 'Who doesn't love Botox?' Jenner told People in 2019. 'For me, it's been really great. If you're responsible and you talk to your doctor, I think it works. It's something that I've been using for a long time.' Jenner previously had her first facelift in 2011, which was documented on her family's Keeping Up With the Kardashians, and performed by Dr. Garth Fisher. 'Garth, you are such a superstar class act!! You did my first facelift in 2011… 14 years ago and made it the most amazing experience ever,' Jenner wrote via Instagram comment on Wednesday, June 4. '[You] even gave us access to film so that others could get a peek inside what it's like and not be afraid. You have taken great care of us always and remain such a close and treasured friend!! Such an incredible talent!!' This Is the Celebrity Plastic Surgeon Behind Kris Jenner's New Glow-Up Jenner's youngest daughter, Kylie Jenner, recently revealed that Fisher also performed her breast augmentation. "I'm honored to be acknowledged by Kylie — her kind words were unexpected but truly appreciated,' Fisher wrote in a social media statement on Wednesday. 'Patient confidentiality has always been the foundation of my practice. Over three decades, we've never had a single breach. My entire team is thoroughly trained and bound by strict NDAs and confidentiality agreements. This is more than policy — it's our culture.' He added, 'HIPAA (patient privacy) laws are in place to protect patients, and I will never discuss any details of a procedure or procedures unless the patient has chosen to share them or given me permission to discuss. Every patient is unique. This isn't 'cookbook' surgery — it's thoughtful, personalized care.'

You could cut the tension with a needle—7 SteamDB changes in the past week have Silksong hopefuls wondering if the final hour is upon us
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. Silksong may, after many long years, finally be releasing—or it may not be. A shadowdrop could be arriving tomorrow, or our eternal vigil may never end. It's either the final 24 hours, or time has no meaning anymore. One thing's for certain: SteamDB has some updates. In addition to the updates released earlier this week, which included achievement data for multiple languages, Silksong has had support for Windows, Mac, and Linux added, visible via SteamDB. At the time of writing, Silksong's minimum requirements don't list Mac or Linux as possible platforms, however, Steam does provide support for them, and developers can prep their store pages to send out platform-specific packages. As always, the Silksong subreddit is being delightfully normal about the news. In one thread, you can even see the ever-cynical doubters (we're well past the point of tribalistic factions) starting to crack. "FUCK MY FLAIR SILKSONG TOMORROW," roars one frantic switcher. "I... CANT... DENY... IT... ANY... LONGER!" writes another, with the tone of the Incredible Hulk swelling out of his shirt. On one hand, it is mighty suspicious that the games' Steam page would receive such a ferocious flurry of updates—seven in total, including this one—before Summer Game Fest. With a bevvy of announcements to come, the idea that Team Cherry's doing some preparatory updating before finally releasing the dang thing isn't entirely out of the question. On the other hand, a few SteamDB updates aren't substantial proof of anything if you aren't scrabbling for every scrap of hope you can. Almost no game since Elden Ring has had this much feverish hype built up behind it and, in a way, the cultish chanting is outstripping what Silksong is likely bound to be: A very good metroidvania. Which, given I've played several since Hollow Knight, is only saying so much. If Team Cherry does do the funniest thing it can and shadowdrop Silksong in a manner of hours, it'll mark the end to all doubting and hoping, all coping and copium. No more daily Silksong news, no more crossed fingers, no more Silkposts. Bait used to be believable, but if it's the dawn of the final day, it shall be absent entirely. All I can say is, if this is indeed the end? Gentlebugs, it has been an honour. 2025 games: This year's upcoming releasesBest PC games: Our all-time favoritesFree PC games: Freebie festBest FPS games: Finest gunplayBest RPGs: Grand adventuresBest co-op games: Better together

Billy Bob Thornton Reflects on Reuniting with 'Hero' Sam Elliott for ‘Landman'
Filming for Landman Season 2 is well underway, and Billy Bob Thornton can hardly contain his excitement, not just for the plot, but who he gets to work with in the latest installment of the fan-favorite Taylor Sheridan series. In a May 2025 interview with Gold Derby, Billy Bob, who plays Tommy Norris on the show, revealed that he hopes to be working with Taylor and co. for the foreseeable future. "[Landman] is a show I'd like to work on for a while; I told Taylor, I said 'As long as you want me around, I'm here for this,'' he shares. 'I really love the show. I love doing it, I love playing this character, and I love the people I work with. Not only the cast, but the crew also is just stellar.' One Season 2 castmate, in particular, stands out. '[Sam Elliott] has always been a mentor and a hero of mine,' Billy Bob said in the interview. The two have previously shared the screen in 1883 and Tombstone. 'I love the guy, we have a real special relationship in real life… It's so good to see him; he lights my day up.' News of Sam joining the Landman Season 2 cast broke in April 2025, with many fans thrilled for the addition. 'Ooohhh I was hoping for another season and Sam just made me even more excited,' one fan commented on the show's Instagram reveal. 'The patch just leveled up,' someone else wrote. 'Perfect casting,' another fan concluded. Meanwhile, Ali Larter, who plays Angela Norris on the show, also appears to be happy with her newest castmate. 'Just three crows cackling,' she captioned a photo of herself with Sam and Michelle Randolph (Ainsley Norris). Again, fans couldn't contain their excitement over Sam's involvement in Season 2—even though his exact role remains unknown. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Ali Larter (@alilarter) 'Taking an already great show and making it exponentially better by adding Sam Elliott,' one fan commented. 'How epic! Sam Elliott will fit in like a glove on and off screen with Landman,' someone else wrote. 'Sam Elliott is in [the] cast! This show only gets better,' another fan exclaimed. As it currently stands, Landman Season 2 is set to premiere in November on Paramount+. In the meantime, we hope for plenty more BTS snaps of the cast.
