Khloé Kardashian shares full list of cosmetic procedures following appearance at Bezos wedding
Khloé Kardashian has publicly confirmed the full list of cosmetic procedures she has undergone, following recent praise for her appearance at Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez's wedding in Venice. The reality TV star responded in the comments of an Instagram post by London-based aesthetician Dr Jonny Betteridge, who described Kardashian as the "standout face" from the celebrity wedding. Betteridge noted that her "transformation" may have included procedures such as a "temporal brow lift," rhinoplasty, lip filler, and a face and neck lift. "She looks dramatically different from a few years ago," Betteridge wrote. "And whether you see it as glow up or glam makeover, there's no denying she's created a bold new look for herself." Kardashian replied by confirming the treatments she has received, naming the doctors and clinics she visited. "I take this as a great compliment!" she said. "In 2025 there are many other things we can do before surgery," Kardashian added. "But when it's time, and if I choose to, I know some great doctors". Her confirmed procedures include a nose job with Dr Raj Kanodia, laser hair removal with SEV Laser, Botox and Sculptra at 7Q Spa Laser & Aesthetic Center, SoftWave laser treatment, dermal fillers, collagen baby threads for chin and neck, and salmon sperm facials and peptides. The update follows sister Kylie Jenner's public confirmation of her breast implants, as Kardashian continues to speak openly about body image and cosmetic choices.

Carers need to be seen and heard, says charity CEO
Carers on the Isle of Man increasingly "need to be heard and seen", the chief executive of a charity which supports them has said. A report produced by the Crossroads charity in conjunction with the Department for Health and Social Care revealed that carers were continuing to feel the "far-reaching" pressures of their responsibilities. Crossroads chief executive Jackie Betteridge said the research demonstrated that "we haven't moved on at all" in recent years when it comes to better supporting carers. She said that while they "save our island a small fortune" they are not properly recognised in legislation. Ms Betteridge said: "It is the recognition that carers are members of the community and they need to be heard and be seen. "If we didn't have family carers then their loved ones would have to be institutionalised, and how would we as an island afford that?" She said it was important to collect data on carers and their experiences, and "have a better understanding of how your life can change in a heartbeat". When someone becomes a carer, said Ms Betteridge, "suddenly the independence you have as a person is ripped away from you and your loved one and it changes every aspect of the dynamics of your family life". Carers include those who look after family, neighbours, friends or partners for a number of reasons, including physical illnesses, disabilities, mental health concerns or addiction. The 2021 census showed there were more than 4,869 people over the age of 10 providing care or support for someone on the island. Diane Torin, who is sole carer for her 28-year-old son who has complex needs, said carers "don't have the same freedom as normal people and we are reliant upon support". She said she looks after her "inspirational and resilient fighter" of a son out of love and compassion, adding that "he has a lot to bring to the table". Speaking from personal experience, Ms Torin said: "You have to build your world around the person that you care for, your job has to be flexible, and I am on-call all the time. "Even during your sleep you are mindful of if the person is ok. "Our lives are committed to those we love." She said carers also need support. Without it, she warned that "your whole world falls apart". Ms Torin explained: "It can have an impact on your own health, you can feel down and as a carer you think nobody is listening to you."

Elgin man caught with images of children being 'brutalised'
A man who claimed he accidentally accessed indecent images despite a search history to the contrary has been told he 'destroyed' children's lives for 'entertainment'. Adam Betteridge claimed he clicked a link sent to his mobile by accident, but investigators also found deleted searches including terms such as 'pedo', 'youngest' and 'hairless'. His solicitor told the court Betteridge had been going through a 'dark' time with poor mental health when the offence occurred. But, when he appeared for sentencing in Inverness, Sheriff Gary Aitken appeared to have little sympathy for the paedophile's mental health struggles. Sheriff Aitken told him: 'No matter how bad you think your mental health was […] I can assure you that the children you watched being brutalised would be significantly more affected than you ever were, and their lives destroyed for your entertainment.' A previous hearing had heard how the 32-year-old's then home in South Guildry Street, Elgin, was searched by police and his phone seized. Search discovered vile video It was examined and had 14 of the most serious types of child abuse images at Category A as well as one 10 second video. Depute fiscal Pauline Gair told Sheriff Sara Matheson that experts also found three still images in Category B and two in category C. All of the images were inaccessible and had been downloaded between September 29 2019 and September 8, 2022 – the day before Betteridge's home was searched. Also found were deleted search histories which had saved words like 'pedophile, young, younger, youngest, pedo and hairless', Mrs Gair added. At the sentencing hearing yesterday, Betteridge's defence agent told the court his client had been suffering from mental health difficulties and going through a particularly 'dark' time at the time of the offence. 'Low risk' offender watched children being 'brutalised' He stressed the low number of images and highlighted that Betteridge had been assessed as low risk going forward. Sheriff Aitken told Betteridge, of Main Street, Elgin, his crime was 'far from trivial' and should not be considered victimless. He placed the first offender on a Community Payback Order with three years of social work supervision and a requirement that he complete the Moray sex offenders programme. He also required Betteridge to carry out 160 hours of unpaid work in the community and placed him on the sex offenders register for three years.
