From 69 to 39? Kris Jenner's new look has everyone talking; here's what she may have had done
Kris Jenner's recent appearance in Paris has sent the internet into a frenzy, not just for her glamorous itinerary, but for what many are calling her most youthful look yet. The Kardashian-Jenner matriarch was in the French capital to attend Amazon founder Jeff Bezos's fiancée Lauren Sanchez's star-studded bachelorette party alongside her daughter Kim Kardashian. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now A-listers like Katy Perry and Eva Longoria were also part of the celebrations. But Kris's Paris appearance wasn't all parties and pictures. She was also by Kim's side as the latter delivered an emotional testimony at a Paris court. Kim recounted the traumatic night in 2016 when masked robbers held her at gunpoint and stole millions of dollars' worth of jewellery from her hotel suite. Kris, as always, stood firmly by her daughter throughout the legal proceedings. However, what truly took the internet by storm was Kris Jenner's strikingly transformed look. On May 17, UK-based cosmetic surgeon Dr Jonny Betteridge posted a video analysis on Instagram, drawing attention to how dramatically Kris's face has changed in just one year. 'Kris Jenner, the matriarch of the Kardashian-Jenner clan, has unveiled a strikingly youthful appearance,' Dr Betteridge wrote. 'At 69, Kris's new look is noticeably more contoured, tighter, and refreshed compared to just a year ago. The transformation is raising eyebrows, with speculation that she may have undergone a comprehensive facial surgical revision.' In his video, titled 'Kris Jenner New Face Reveal', the cosmetic surgeon compared clips of Kris from 2023 to her latest Paris appearances, pointing out significant differences in her facial structure, especially around her jawline and neck. 'The definition is sharper, the jowling and neck laxity are gone,' he noted. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now 'To achieve this kind of transformation at her age, one would typically undergo a deep plane facelift, neck lift, blepharoplasties, and likely fat grafting.'

Whether it's good genes, great surgeons, or both, Kris Jenner has once again shown she knows how to turn heads, this time with her face alone.

Bill Gates' Daughter Launches Phia, A $850K AI-Powered Fashion App With Backing From Kris Jenner And Desiree Gruber
Phoebe Gates, daughter of Bill Gates and Melinda French Gates, has stepped into the startup world with the launch of Phia, a browser extension and mobile app designed to make fashion shopping smarter, more sustainable, and more affordable for Gen Z consumers. Phia, co-founded with Stanford University classmate Sophia Kianni, functions as a digital shopping assistant. The app says it tracks pricing data across more than 40,000 online retailers, surfaces lower-cost alternatives, and according to The Verge, it also highlights secondhand options from platforms like The RealReal (NASDAQ:REAL), Poshmark, and Vestiaire Collective. Phia's goal is to reduce waste while helping users make more financially and environmentally responsible purchases, GeekWire writes. Don't Miss: 'Scrolling To UBI' — Deloitte's #1 fastest-growing software company allows users to earn money on their phones. Maker of the $60,000 foldable home has 3 factory buildings, 600+ houses built, and big plans to solve housing — Gates and Kianni, both avid resale shoppers, created the tool after growing frustrated with the lack of reliable pricing and resale discovery options online. According to The Verge, in addition to retail price comparison, Phia's 'Should I Buy This?' feature evaluates whether a shopper is overpaying by using product data, market history, and resale listings. Despite the founder's household name, Phia was not funded by the Gates family. Instead, Phoebe Gates raised capital independently, starting with $100,000 from Soma Capital and a $250,000 Stanford social entrepreneurship grant, GeekWire writes. After multiple rejections, the team secured an additional $500,000 in angel investments, bringing the total raised to $850,000. Among Phia's early supporters are major names from fashion and media. Kris Jenner, entrepreneur and matriarch of the Kardashian-Jenner brand empire, publicly confirmed her role as an investor and mentor during an appearance on "The Burnouts," a podcast hosted by the Phia founders. Jenner's involvement adds visibility and strategic guidance as the company targets a younger, trend-driven demographic. Trending: Hasbro, MGM, and Skechers trust this AI marketing firm — . Investor and business strategist Desiree Gruber, known for her work on "Project Runway" and as the CEO of Full Picture, also joined the funding round, she said in a LinkedIn post. Her post praised the Phia founders and celebrated the launch with enthusiasm, showing her strong support for the company's mission and vision. In addition to Jenner and Gruber, Phia's advisory circle includes media executive Joanne Bradford and Spanx founder Sara Blakely, both of whom are serving as company advisors. Bradford shared on LinkedIn that she's been supporting the team behind the scenes over the past year on copy, product, and go-to-market strategy. Phia represents a growing wave of e-commerce tools that emphasize affordability without sacrificing ethics or style. By embedding into users' regular browsing experience, the app acts as a passive advisor, alerting shoppers to resale alternatives, sale opportunities, and pricing insights without disrupting their shopping flow, according to The sustainability is a core component of Phia's identity. In line with Bill Gates' well-known environmental initiatives, the app encourages secondhand shopping to reduce fashion-related carbon emissions and textile waste. While Phoebe Gates has leaned on her father for personnel advice, she did not seek financial involvement. "Luckily, it never happened," Bill Gates told Business Insider, explaining that he preferred not to play an oversight role in the company. Melinda French Gates encouraged her daughter to raise her own capital, describing it as a growth opportunity. Phoebe Gates told The New York Times that the fundraising process was difficult but essential, adding that her mother "saw it as a real opportunity for me to, like, learn and fail." Phia enters a crowded but evolving space alongside established price-comparison tools like Honey, Rakuten, and Capital One Shopping, The Verge writes. What sets Phia apart is its focus on fashion, its AI-driven resale discovery features, and its cultural positioning with Gen Z consumers. The combination of venture capital, mentorship from high-profile investors, and a technology-forward product gives Phia a unique advantage in the e-commerce landscape. While still in its early stages, Phia's launch signals a broader trend toward merging climate-conscious values with consumer tech.

Eating worms, laxative-laced teas & unlimited red wine… how celebrities lost weight before fat jabs
IT'S no secret that Hollywood stars are under a lot of pressure to look their best at all times. And a new generation of A-listers are now taking drastic measures to achieve their dream body - whether that's by fat jabs or going under the knife. 18 From detox teas to shocking liquids-only days, many celebrities tried bizarre diets before the jab craze 18 The Kardashian-Jenner clan were known to promote Flat Tummy tea to their millions of young followers Credit: instagram/khloe kardashian But long before Mounjaro and Ozempic were a thing, celebrities were trying a wealth of different diets, with N-Dubz star Tulisa Contostavlos eating lentils every day and fashion designer Carolina Herrera enjoying scrambled eggs with truffle to maintain her svelte figure at 86. However, some famous faces have used extreme and very strange means to shed the pounds and attain what they consider - or used to see - the elusive 'perfect' figure. From tapeworms to detox teas and lots of red wine, here we take a look at some of the craziest celeb diets through the year. ''A lot of these diets came from much less digital, less informed eras,'' wellness expert Jamie Love told Fabulous. ''Gen Z grew up with information at their fingertips, and it's made them much smarter customers. They can Google the ingredients in your "detox tea" in seconds — and call out the nonsense just as fast. ''There's a consistent thread running through these diets: extreme measures in service of outdated beauty ideals. ''Whether it's tapeworms or raw eggs, there's often a darker undertone — the pressure to shrink, conform, or completely overhaul your body to be seen as desirable or successful.'' Raw eggs for breakfast - Marilyn Monroe 18 Marilyn Monroe was not immune to the pressure to stay in what she deemed shape Credit: Getty 18 The Hollywood icon resorted to having raw eggs whisked in milk as the first meal Credit: Twentieth Century Fox Film Corporation By the 1950s, fuller-figured women were heralded as the beauty standard - yet the extreme diets continued. Celebrated as one of the most beautiful women in the history, even actress Marilyn Monroe - who was a healthy 8.5 stone in her prime - was not immune to the pressure to stay in what she deemed shape. The Hollywood icon resorted to having raw eggs whisked in milk as the first meal of the day to maintain her figure. Lizzo shows off her incredible 60lb weight loss underwear pics as she strips down to thong underwear I have been told my eating habits are absolutely I don't think so Marilyn Monroe In a September 1952 edition of the now-defunct Pageant magazine the Some Like It Hot star spoke of her ''bizarre'' choice for breakfast. She said: ''I have been told my eating habits are absolutely I don't think so. ''I doubt if any doctor could recommend a more nourishing breakfast for a working girl in a hurry.'' Marylin wasn't wrong, as Jo warned that ''raw eggs for breakfast aren't actually a way to lose weight''. She explained: ''They may help you lose weight if you are swapping out sugary pastries but that's about it. ''Most eggs are salmonella-free now as chickens are routinely treated with antibiotics, but there is a bigger risk if the eggs are organic as they won't have been treated.'' Tapeworm diet - Maria Callas 18 When Maria Callas first entered the opera world in 1947, she had embraced her 390-pound figure Credit: Rex 18 The performer rejected the tapeworm diet rumours and insisted her weight loss was due to healthy eating Credit: Getty Growing in popularity around the 1940s, the tapeworm diet involved swallowing a live tapeworm in the hopes that it would absorb the food consumed - and thus, would lead to weight loss. In her quest to achieve a slimmer frame, New York soprano and food lover Maria Callas shed almost 90lbs within a year by apparently swallowing a tapeworm. When Maria first entered the opera world in 1947, she had embraced her 390-pound figure - which in today's world is considered to be obese - because opera singers were generally known to be on the heavier side. She soon felt the pressure to look thin after a cinema director Luchino Visconti said he would not work until she shed about 70lbs. The opera star also sensed the urgency to drop the weight when she realised her figure was getting in the way of performing. In an interview with English conductor Edward Downes, Maria revealed: ''I was getting so heavy that even my vocalising was getting heavy. ''I was tiring myself, I was perspiring too much, and I was really working too hard. And I wasn't really well, as in health; I couldn't move freely. ''And then I was tired of playing a game, for instance playing this beautiful young woman, and I was heavy and uncomfortable to move around.'' Callas shed a huge chunk of weight in such a short space of time that rumours began to swirl she had ingested a tapeworm to achieve the figure. However, the performer rejected these rumours and insisted her weight loss was due to healthy eating. Nutritionist and Registered Dietitian Jo Travers explained how ingesting a tapeworm has serious health implications on the body. She told The Sun: ''Tapeworms are parasites and can deplete micronutrients as well as energy.'' Speaking about the parasite found in the undercooked meat of infected animals, she said: ''They can also cause blockages in the gut and even potentially migrate to other parts of the body. ''While 90lbs in a year isn't necessarily a dangerous amount to lose in a year, doing it this way could be.'' Callas - who would collect recipes of her favourite meals but never eat them - clung to her healthy lifestyle up until her death in Paris aged 53 in 1977. Warning signs of an eating disorder It can be very difficult to identify that a loved one or friend has an eating disorder. Warning signs to look out for include: dramatic weight loss lying about how much they've eaten, when they've eaten, or their weight eating a lot of food very fast going to the bathroom a lot after eating exercising a lot avoiding eating with others cutting food into small pieces or eating very slowly wearing loose or baggy clothes to hide their weight loss.

The Hollywood hunk was playing Texan rodeo-riding electrician Ron Woodroof who was given just a month to live after being diagnosed with HIV. "Through pure rage and by any means necessary this guy did what he had to do to self-preserve and stay alive," says Matthew, who shed nearly 3st 7lb for the Oscar-nominated role. I did not torture myself. I was militant Matthew McConaughey His unusual approach involved eating nothing but fish, egg whites, tapioca pudding — and "as much wine as I wanted to drink'', the dad-of-three said on an episode of The Joe Rogan Experience. "I did not torture myself. I was militant. The hardest part was making the damn choice. The actor told Rogan he wanted to lose all the weight to show the reality of living with advanced stages of HIV as he paid homage to Woodroof's life and legacy in detail. "It was my responsibility," the 55-year-old said. "If I looked how I look now and played Ron Woodroof from 'Dallas Buyers Club,' you are out of the movie the first frame." In just five months, he went from his usual 13 stone 4lbs to pounds to just 9 stone 6lbs. The actor said he would eat 140g of fish for lunch and dinner, small amounts of vegetables with each meal, and egg whites for breakfast. His daily treat would be a small amount of tapioca pudding. "I found tapioca pudding, and I found the tiniest little antique spoon in New Orleans, a little-bitty sugar spoon, and I would eat it with that so it would last longer," the actor told a crowd of reporters at the 2014 Screen Actors Guild Awards. Sharing her thoughts on the low-calorie diet, Jo warned it's ''very difficult to get all the micronutrients you need a day with only 1,000kcals of food''. Not only does restricting yourself much ''lead to hunger and deficiencies'', but ''adding copious amounts of red wine adds calories without useful nutrients so is not a sensible way to lose weight at all''. Steak slathered with peanut butter - Elizabeth Taylor 18 British-born actor Elizabeth Taylor and her fourth husband, American singer and actor Eddie Fisher, pictured in 1963 Credit: Getty 18 The Cleopatra icon, pictured in 1974, even detailed the bizarre recipes in her book, Elizabeth Takes Off Credit: Getty - Contributor The protein-heavy diet has long been the classic regimen sworn by celebrities as the perfect diet, with our very own Holly Willoughby, now 44, limiting her carb intake before joining I'm A Celeb in 2018. At her time, Elizabeth Taylor was the Hollywood icon who every woman dreamed to be and every man wished to be with. But in the last 20 years of her life, she weighed over 12 stone 8lbs after an injury left her bedridden and made her prone to ''stuffing'' herself with fried chicken and fancy desserts. In the 1960s, when Taylor weighed 8 stone 5lbs, her eating habits were more so absurd than they were unhealthy. For breakfast, the legendary actress would down scrambled eggs, bacon, and a mimosa as a refreshment. Hollowed-out French bread filled with peanut butter and bacon was her go-to lunch meal - while her dinner consisted of fried chicken, peas, biscuits, gravy, mashed potatoes, corn bread, homemade potato chips, trifle, and a tumbler full of Jack Daniels. The London-born star - who married eight times - decided to take control of her diet after her seventh marriage failed and resorted to extreme diets, such as having cottage cheese and sour cream as well as steak and peanut butter for dinner. The Cleopatra icon even detailed the bizarre recipes in her book, Elizabeth Takes Off. Describing the book which was published in 1988, she said: ''It is more than a specific program for weight loss; it's a chance for you to throw away old self-destructive habits and embrace a more positive way of life.'' She would maintain her diet until she passed away aged 79 in 2011. Although celebrities boast of their adherence to such extreme diets, Jo said these approaches can turn into a ''disaster''. ''I'm guessing this was a low-carb diet which actually isn't too bad a way to lose weight in the short term. ''However it's really important to get low-carb vegetables in as well for those essential water-soluble vitamins and fibre. ''Without the veg it can be a disaster for your gut health,'' she explained. Getting help for an eating disorder If you think you may have an eating disorder, see a GP as soon as you can. A GP will ask about your eating habits and how you're feeling, plus check your overall health and weight. They may refer you to an eating disorder specialist or team of specialists. It can be very hard to admit you have a problem and ask for help. It may make things easier if you bring a friend or loved one with you to your appointment. You can also talk in confidence to an adviser from eating disorders charity Beat by calling the Beat helpline on 0808 801 0677.

The Jenner mogul confused fans in 2018 by posting an ad for a Teami Blends detox programme on social media, claiming it got rid of her tummy bloat like 'magic''. The brand doesn't exactly have the best reputation. In 2017, Demi Lovato came under fire for promoting the same 30-day Detox Challenge that Kylie, 27, posted. Detox teas in general are often criticised for containing a tonne of caffeine and even traces of laxatives to help you 'lose weight'. Some teas, experts have warned, also come with unwanted side effects, such as cramping, headaches, and increased anxiety. Obviously, celebrities are paid to endorse any product on social media, even the controversial ones — and according to the Daily Mail, the reality star scored an astronomical £751k for the lone post. It's been the only diet product I've found that's worked for me Lauren Goodger The Kardashians are notorious for promoting diet teas, as are reality TV stars from programmes like TOWIE - including Lauren Goodger and Love Island's Kady McDermott. The former TOWIE legend and mum-of-one Lauren has openly battled with her weight for some time, and in 2018 posted a body transformation saying that it was entirely down to drinking Skinny Coffee. "I lost 6lbs in just SEVEN days," she wrote. ''It was insane! It's been the only diet product I've found that's worked for me." Skinny Coffee say that "92 per cent of customers looked visibly thinner in just one week". GP Dr Jarvis said: "Garcinia cambogia is widely marketed for weight loss, but the few studies there have been show minimal (maximum 2lb) benefit, and even this may well have been for reasons other than the supplement.' 18 TOWIE legend Ferne McCann also praised the detox tea after 'seeing some changes' in her tummy Credit: instagram/fernemccann Ruth Kander, Consultant Dietician at Fleet Street Clinic, stated that coffee itself can have a laxative effect on some people but interestingly, some of the ingredients in Skinny Coffee are quite decent. Although there is 'no evidence in the medical literature and medical scientific trial to show that this helps to lose weight''. ''None of the ingredients are reported to scientifically or clinically cause weight loss', she said. Sharing her thoughts on the tea-tox craze, Jo told Fabulous: ''These are not good for your body. ''You can end up with vitamin and mineral deficiencies and in the worst case your bowel can become dependent on them so you can end up with chronic constipation.'' She added: ''Also a nightmare for the delicate balance of the gut microbiome which we rely on to keep our immune system functioning as well as producing fuel for our cells.'' Marilyn Monroe dress diet - Kim Kardashian 18 The SKIMS mogul pictured on 2021 - a year before her controversial Met Gala diet Credit: Instagram/KimKardashian 18 Kim went on a strict diet ti lose 16lbs to be able to fit into the iconic Marilyn Monroe's gown for Met Gala in 2022 Credit: Getty Just like the rest of the billionaire clan, SKIMS mogul Kim Kardashian, 44, is no stranger to shocking restrictions to achieve her figure - most notoriously, losing ''16lbs on strict diet'' to fit into Marilyn Monroe's dress at Met Gala in 2022. The reality star stepped out in Marilyn Monroe's gown, which she famously wore as she sang Happy Birthday, Mr. President in 1962, with former partner Pete Davidson on her arm. At first, the dress didn't fit the mum-of-four's signature curves, but that didn't stop her from wearing it to the Met Gala. It was such a challenge. It was like a [movie] role Kim Kardashian She told Vogue: "I tried it on and it didn't fit me. I said, 'Give me three weeks.' "I had to lose 16 pounds,'' said Kim - who said she would've skipped the star-studded event if she hadn't been able to squeeze into the frock. Kim went on: "It was such a challenge. It was like a [movie] role. I was determined to fit [into] it. I haven't had carbs or sugar in about three weeks.'' Although Jo reckons Kim's low-carb approach wasn't necessarily ''the worst as she made sure to get vegetables and protein while cutting out sugar'', the sheer amount of weight dropped was alarming. ''However she did lose a lot of weight very quickly which is likely to be unsustainable.'' All-liquid diet - Melissa McCarthy 18 The Gilmore Girls actress was put on a liquids-only diet in 2003, consuming a mere 500 calories a day Credit: Alamy 18 The mum-of-two dropped a staggering 5 stone in just four months - but has since said she 'felt starved and crazy half the time' Credit: Alamy Extreme diets can be dangerous - and they don't help you to build sustainable healthy habits. While talking with People in 2011, actress Melissa McCarthy, now 54, recalled an all-liquid diet a doctor put her on in 2003 when she scored her role on Gilmore Girls. Describing how she'd consume only 500 calories a day, the mum-of-two said she ended up dropping a whopping 5 stone in just four months. I felt starved and crazy half the time Melissa McCarthy Looking back at the shocking diet, the Bridesmaids legend said: 'I'd never do that again. 'I felt starved and crazy half the time.' While the meal replacement plan provided Melissa with ''all the micronutrients and protein she needed while restricting calories'', Jo said this approach was not suitable for everyone. ''This can help with quick weight loss and she did hers under the supervision of a doctor but i't's very hard to do if you a) like food and b) ever feel hungry. ''The rate of weight loss wasn't too bad (about 3lbs/week on average) but I don't really recommend these diets for as long as she did hers for. They're generally not great for the gut microbiome.'' Over the next decade her weight tended to fluctuate, but you've probably noticed the brunette beauty looking much trimmer again lately. But her weight loss secret has nothing to do with crazy diets, intense calorie restriction, or sweaty gym sessions – and she's still reportedly lost more than 5 stone. While upping her protein and getting more exercise have played a key role in the past, it's been a simple shift in outlook that has ultimately helped her shed — and keep off — the pounds. While speaking with CBS This Morning, Melissa revealed her surprisingly simple weight loss secret. 'I finally said [to myself], 'Oh for God sakes, stop worrying about it, and it may be the best thing I've ever done.' It might sound too easy to be true, but stress can definitely be a factor in weight gain and there's no denying turning off the weight stress worked for the mum-of-two.
