Khloe Kardashian ‘Feels Pressure' to Match ‘Filtered' Image, Spends ‘Hours' Setting Up Perfect Photos: Source
Khloé Kardashian is a perfectionist when it comes to her social media appearance, according to a source. While the Good American co-founder, 41, claimed on the July 16 episode of her Khloé in Wonder Land podcast that she doesn't photoshop her pictures anymore, a source tells Star, she still 'feels this pressure to live up to this filtered version of herself.' 'She spends hours setting up the perfect shot, between the lighting and the glam session, it's a full production every single time just to take a selfie,' the source reveals. 'And she won't stop at one. She'll take hundreds of nearly identical photos, then obsess over which one to post.' The source explains that after The Kardashians star gets opinions from her team, she 'still goes back and forth over which one to post.' 'It's never just snap and go,' the source shares. 'It takes hours to get something she feels is worthy of posting.' The source adds that the reality TV personality has her phone on her at all times, 'because she's built this image that's so curated.' On the July 16 podcast episode, the Keeping up with the Kardashians alum admitted that she doesn't consider herself very 'photogenic' and copped to taking hundreds of photos to find one that she likes. However, Kardashian also said her Photoshopping days were behind her — a claim that fans didn't buy. 'I don't [Photoshop photos], but there was a time that I definitely did,' she told listeners. 'There was a time that I was around some people that would make me feel like I needed to. I also think it was the era, too. I felt like a lot of people were Photoshopping or heavily Photoshopping more than they do now.' 'I do feel like there was a time that we all just got consumed in this filter lifestyle, and we couldn't see ourselves without a filter,' Kardashian recounted. 'And there's definitely days that I'm like, 'Ugh, I need a filter, I don't feel good about myself.' But I'm on video. And I do like myself better in video than stills.' The media personality noted that she didn't even know what she looked like in real life because people in her circle would retouch her photos before showing them to her. 'If they took my photo, they would make me look that way before giving it to me. And then I would think that's how I looked,' she admitted. 'And if I got paparazzied, I'd be like, 'I don't look like that. I look like this photo.'' 'I really had to reprogram my mind to think, 'Okay, we have to lay off the filters. This isn't real,'' she shared. ''That's not how I look. And I don't want to look like that.'' Solve the daily Crossword

Khloé Kardashian talks Photoshop, Instagram and looking like a 'cartoon'
Khloé Kardashian is copping to years of photo editing. The reality star revealed on the latest episode of her podcast, "Khloé in Wonderland," that, for a while, she "wouldn't dare post a photo without heavily Photoshopping." That news may come as little surprise to fans who have visited Kardashian's air-brushed Instagram page, which features photos of her bikini clad, alongside her famous sisters, or decked out in glam for a certain billionaire's Italian wedding. But her presence on social media now is much more raw than it used to be, she admitted in the episode, which aired July 17. Khloé Kardashian had 'trust' issues after therapist leaked 'private' details to tabloids Responding to the claim she that "Photoshops every picture," Kardashian said: "I don't. But there was a time that I definitely did. There was a time that I was around some people that would make me feel like I needed to. I also think it was the era too, I felt like a lot of people were Photoshopping or heavily Photoshopping more than they do now." The youngest of the Kardashian sisters (Jenners not included), Khloé has been open about how public scrutiny of her appearance has affected her self-confidence over the years. "I do feel like there was a time that we all just got consumed in this filter lifestyle and we couldn't see ourselves without a filter," she said on the podcast, her latest venture outside of reality TV. "And there's definitely days that I'm like, ugh, I need a filter. Don't feel good about myself." She went on to say that she's never felt the most photogenic, but will take "500 photos" to get one she likes. "I will say there was a time that I heavily Photoshopped," she continued, but said that when she sees those photos now, she feels like she looks like a "cartoon character." "It's humiliating that I thought that was even a version of myself," she added. "I feel bad that I thought I needed to look like that. But I was around people who were all doing that. And if they took my photo, they would make me look that way before giving it to me. And then I would think that's how I looked. And if I got paparazzied, I'd be like, 'I don't look like that. I look like this photo.' And I really had to reprogram my mind to be like, OK, we have to lay off the filters. This isn't real. That's not how I look. And I don't want to look like that. It was a strange time." Kardashian faces the unique experience of having spent much of her life on camera, starring alongside her siblings on "Keeping up with the Kardashians," as scads of loyal fans watched her personal life unfold. The endless media attention, particularly surrounding her body, has smudged the lens with which she views herself, she (and her sisters) have admitted in the past. Now, though, they appear intent on being honest about the alterations they've done. Kylie Jenner, the youngest of the clan, recently shared the exact dimensions of her breast augmentation on TikTok, and Kardashian, following suit, listed all the cosmetic procedures she'd had done. "I definitely have more controlled photos, like good lighting, and I might take a bunch to get the ones I like," she said, turning back to her current approach to social media, "But I don't have to Photoshop every photo."

Kim Kadashian To Testify In Paris Jewel Theft Trial Of 'Grandpa Robbers'
Los Angeles: Kim Kardashian is due to testify in the Paris trial that begins Monday of the "grandpa robbers" accused of stealing $10 million worth of jewellery from the billionaire high priestess of social media. The ageing French underworld figures accused of tying her up and threatening her with a gun in the heist during Paris Fashion Week in 2016 reportedly did not know who she really was. Yet few under 50 on the planet with a smartphone could have escaped the rise of one of the world's most famous influencers over the last two decades. Kardashian has been a constant presence in popular culture, an uber-celebrity whose every move commands attention, yet who never seems to be anything other than in complete control. While lesser stars have been consumed by fame, Kardashian remains at the height of her powers, defying criticism that she is really only famous for being famous. It is thought Kardashian's frequent posts about her wealth, personal life and whereabouts may have helped put the robbers on her trail. When they burst into her exclusive Paris suite they shouted that they wanted the $4-million (3.5-million euro) diamond engagement her now ex-husband, US rapper Kayne West, gave her, and that she had shown off on social media. Fame Los Angeles-born Kardashian, 44, spent her childhood on the periphery of fame. Her mother Kris married the 1976 Olympic decathlon winner then known as Bruce Jenner, who has since transitioned to life as Caitlyn, after divorcing her late father Robert Kardashian. He was one of the high-flying lawyers who defended American football legend OJ Simpson in his 1995 murder trial. As a teenage friend of Los Angeles socialites Nicole Richie and Paris Hilton, Kardashian garnered the first inklings of her own fame, being photographed with them at popular nightspots and appearing in their reality show "The Simple Life." But it was in 2007 that she was catapulted into popular consciousness when an explicit four-year-old home movie she had made with her then-boyfriend singer Ray J was posted online. Cynics noted the tape appeared as Kardashian and her family were readying to promote "Keeping up with the Kardashians," a fly-on-the-wall reality TV look at the family's life of wealth, luxury, unbelievable cattiness -- and startling mundanity. Planted or not, the footage burned Kardashian onto the public's collective retina. "Keeping up with the Kardashians," which followed the personal and professional trials of sisters Kim, Kourtney and Khloe and their half-sisters Kendall and Kylie Jenner, was one of television's longest-running reality shows. For some, it was must-see entertainment offering an insight into celebrity through the prism of a unique family. For others, as The Washington Times once wrote, it was vapid chaff that "illustrates our nation's moral, spiritual and cultural decay." Either way, the show was very, very good for business. A series of enterprises including KKW Beauty and KKW Fragrance established Kardashian as a serious player in the fashion and lifestyle sector, propelled by the rise of social media, where she regularly posted titillating thirst traps to build her brand. But it was the apparel label Skims that really brought in the big bucks. The firm unapologetically celebrates the female form, boasting "technically constructed shapewear that enhances your curves." A 2023 investment round valued the company at $4 billion, and Forbes estimates Kardashian's personal net worth is now $1.7 billion. Marriage to Kanye... and divorce Her forays into the fashion and beauty worlds were supercharged by her relationship with West, her third husband. Their marriage in 2014 -- the year of that "Break the Internet" photoshoot involving her shapely bare buttocks and lots of champagne -- was a "historic blizzard of celebrity," according to The New York Times. They flew to France for a pre-wedding rehearsal at the Palace of Versailles, where they arrived in a gold-plated carriage before flying on to Italy to tie the knot. Four children later, the couple's relationship ran into difficulties, as West's behavior became increasingly erratic. His bizarre but truncated 2020 bid for the US presidency degenerated into rambling self-confession. Kardashian appealed for empathy for her husband, who at one time spoke of living with bipolar disorder, but by 2021 was filing for divorce. Kardashian said she has tried to protect the couple's children from the inevitable hurt of their parents' split. "You want to be sensitive because they're just kids, and it's hard to go through no matter what age," she told GQ in 2023. "Ultimately what matters is that kids feel loved and heard." They are certainly seen: Kardashian's 357 million Instagram followers are given regular updates on the children. Since her split with West, Kardashian had a high-profile romance with comedian Pete Davidson, and was linked to NFL player Odell Beckham Jr. Amid the parenting, the television shows, the endless red carpets and the multi-billion-dollar business, Kardashian has also found time to launch a legal career. After embarking on an apprenticeship with a prison reform group, she successfully petitioned US President Donald Trump to pardon a grandmother serving a life sentence for a nonviolent drug offense -- and then visited him at the White House. In 2021 and on her fourth attempt, she passed California's "baby bar" exam, a seven-hour slog for first-year law students with a pass rate of only around 20 percent. Her late father, she mused, "would be so proud." "He would actually be so shocked to know that this is my path now."

Kim Kardashian to testify in Paris courtroom over US$10m jewellery heist in 2016
