Bianca Censori shocked onlookers on Saturday when she dined out in Los Angeles with her husband Kayne West in a barely-there bra top.

Bianca has become known for her risqué outfits and most recently stepped out in an ultra-revealing ensemble in which she eschewed a top in favour of bandage-like halter suspenders that only covered her nipples.

During their tumultuous marriage, Kim was reportedly asked to change her outfits if he felt like she was showing too much skin.

‘Kanye did the same thing he is doing with Bianca to Kim throughout their marriage. The difference is that when Kanye dressed Kim, he was respected as a person – as an artist,’ one source said.

Kim said in a previous episode of the Kardashians: ‘Kanye has always dressed me. In the early 2000s, he would literally just send me random emails with all these looks and what my style should be.’

The Keeping Up With The Kardashians star, who was represented by divorce attorney Laura Wasser, was declared legally single March 2022 while in the midst of a romance with now-ex boyfriend SNL alum Pete Davidson.

In November 2022, Kim and Kanye’s divorce was finalised, with Kanye agreeing to pay $200,000 a month in 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥 support and equal custody.

Kanye married Yeezy architect Bianca in January 2023 in what was thought a non-legal wedding as it appeared they did not file for a marriage certificate.

Keanu was born in Lebanon. His parents split when he was three and he grew up with three different stepfathers.

As a kid he

was diagnosed with dyslexia and dreamed of becoming a hockey player. He played goalie for a junior league team in Canada but quit after breaking his leg to focus on acting.

He lost his best friend, River Phoenix, in 1993 due to an overdose.

He got married in 1998, experienced a miscarriage with his daughter in 1999, and ultimately lost his wife as well due to a car accident in 2001.

In 2002, Keanu put the Matrix sequels on hold to care for his sick sister. He sold his house to move nearer to his sister, while also helping by cooking meals, cleaning her house, and preparing medication. He also donated 70% of the money he made from The Matrix to leukemia research.

In 2006, when he was filming the movie “The Lake House,” he overheard the conversation of two costume assistants, one crying as he would lose his house if he did not pay $20,000 – on the same day, Keanu deposited the necessary amount in his bank account.

In 2010, on his birthday, Keanu walked into a bakery & bought a brioche with a single candle, ate it in front of the bakery, and offered coffee to people who stopped to talk to him.⁣⁣

To this day, Keanu is often seen wandering around New York City, riding the subway, and interacting with people.

A certified legend.”

Halle Berry and Gabriel Aubry’s daughter, Nahla Ariela Aubry, is now 16. Born on March 16, 2008, her presence in the spotlight was inevitable, given her parents’ celebrity status. Over the years, Nahla has grown under the watchful eyes of her parents and admirers alike.

Recently, photos of Nahla towering over her mom sparked mixed reactions online. Some focused on her growth and transformation, while others discussed her fashion choices. Nahla’s journey from a curly-haired toddler to a tall teenager has been well-documented through public appearances and photographs.

As a toddler, Nahla charmed the public with her sweet demeanor and close bond with her parents. By the time she was five, her evolving style and personality were increasingly evident.

In 2013, Nahla faced a significant controversy when Berry accused Aubry of straightening and lightening their daughter’s naturally curly hair, claiming it was an attempt to alter her appearance. This period brought challenges and highlighted family dynamics.

By 2020, Nahla’s height and mature presence were striking. At fifteen, she had transformed into a poised and confident young woman, often seen taller than her mother. Berry shared photos for Nahla’s 15th birthday, showcasing her growth and maturity. “My mini me (but not so mini anymore),” Berry captioned a post. Nahla’s transformation over the years, marked by public appearances and cherished family moments, showcases the loving support of her parents.

Jo Ann Ussery’s Unique Living Solution In 1993, Jo Ann Ussery faced the challenge of finding a new home for herself and her children after her house was destroyed in Mississippi.

With limited finances, she couldn’t afford a suitable trailer, but her brother-in-law suggested a unique idea – living in a decommissioned Boeing 727 airplane.

Transforming the Boeing 727 Ussery purchased the entire plane, including shipping costs, for just $2,000 and spent around $30,000 refurbishing it into her dream home.

She creatively turned the 138-foot long aircraft into a fully functional living space, complete with three bedrooms, a living area, kitchen, laundry room, and a luxurious master bathroom in the cockpit.

A Lasting Legacy After enjoying her unique home for a few years, Ussery decided to share its splendor with the world by turning it into a museum.

Unfortunately, the plane was severely damaged during transportation, but her remarkable transformation remains a testament to creativity and resilience.

Miley Cyrus’s father is country music legend Billy Ray Cyrus, which likely contributes to her music’s noticeable country influences. Despite Miley Cyrus’s prominence as a pop artist—popular songs like “Flowers” and “Wrecking Ball”—her music is equally recognized for its pop inspirations.

Perhaps this is why Cyrus’s 2018 performance of “Man of Constant Sorrow,” a country/bluegrass tune, at the American Institute was so impressive; the video has since gone viral, with over 8 million views.

After receiving the AFI lifetime achievement award, actor George Clooney was honored with a tribute show that included Cyrus’ performance

‘Oh Brother, when Art Thou?’, a film starring George Clooney, featured a moment when the protagonist sings a song that has since gone down in cinematic history as iconic. With her deep, country-tinged vocals, Cyrus brought a new level of intensity and fire to the song, perfectly capturing the scene.

Clooney clapped enthusiastically while smiling broadly as the singer waved to him, and the live audience cheered and whooped once Cyrus ended, so it was evident that everyone else enjoyed it as well. Many spectators have praised Cyrus’s flexibility as a performer, and the performance has also garnered nearly 4000 comments online. An astonished spectator said, “She can really do it all!” they were enthralled by her remarkable talent, unique voice, and boundless imagination.

Just look at Cyrus’s 2019 Glastonbury performance of Dolly Parton’s “Jolene”—a renowned country music song—to hear her live powering it up. As she walks around the stage, adding her own pop-infused touch to a song that is now regarded as a paragon of country music, Cyrus embodies feminine power in her leather trousers, white crop top, high-heeled boots, and heaps of gold jewelry.

Years after breaking up with pro-athlete Tom Brady, Bridget Moynahan is finally happy in her love life.

Many of us remember that after two years together, Moynahan and Brady broke up. Soon after, Moynahan revealed she was three months pregnant with their child, who is now 16.

Moynahan went through her pregnancy as a single mother, but she has found happiness in her life.

In a 2008 interview with *Harper’s Bazaar*, the 52-year-old actress shared her unexpected journey as a single mother. She said, “I never thought I would raise a child alone,” and expressed her hope for a loving partner in her life.

Finding out she was pregnant was a big shock for Bridget Moynahan. As an actress and former model, it was especially challenging for her because she always believed in marriage before having children.

In the same *Harper’s Bazaar* interview, Moynahan explained, “I’m a traditional girl, and I believe in marriage, and I always thought that’s the way I’d be having a family. For a moment, it was hard for me to accept that this was the way it was going to be.”

Her relationship with former NFL star Tom Brady ended “amicably” in early December 2006. Soon after the breakup, Moynahan discovered she was three months pregnant. At that time, Brady had started dating supermodel Gisele Bündchen, which made the situation even more complicated.

Looking back on the “traumatic” experience, Moynahan said she had to go through her pregnancy and have a baby under intense media scrutiny. She admitted, “I’m not sure anyone grows up thinking, I want to be a single mom.”

While Moynahan was busy raising her son, Jack, Tom Brady and Gisele Bündchen got married in February 2009. Just ten months later, they had their first child, Benjamin, and in December 2012, they welcomed their second child, Vivian. Unfortunately, they divorced in 2022 after 13 years together.

In her memoir, Bündchen admitted that learning about Brady and Moynahan’s baby was difficult for her. She said, “Two months into our relationship, Tom told me that his ex-girlfriend was pregnant. The very next day, the news was everywhere, and I felt my world got turned upside down.”

Despite the challenges, Moynahan found joy in her son, John “Jack” Edward Thomas, who was born in 2007.

In her 2019 book, *Our Shoes, Our Selves*, Moynahan wrote about the struggles she faced during that time, especially feeling overwhelmed by public attention. “Having a baby should have been the most joyous time of my life, but instead, I felt assaulted,” she said.

Despite these difficulties, she embraced motherhood and found it more fulfilling than her modeling and acting careers. Moynahan has often expressed her love for being a mother and the positive impact it has had on her life. “I have become that mother I used to dread. Every time he does something, you think he’s a genius. He’s a genius,” she told *Harper’s Bazaar*.

Moynahan’s personal life took a happy turn when she met Andrew Frankel, 49, through mutual friends. The couple got engaged in April 2015 and had a secret wedding at Wolffer Estate Vineyard in Sagaponack, New York, in October of the same year. Their small, private ceremony celebrated their love, and instead of gifts, they asked guests to donate to The Hole in the Wall Gang Camp.

Moynahan looked back on her beautiful wedding with gratitude, appreciating the special details of her dress and the celebration. Fans were also thrilled for Moynahan, feeling she deserved this happy ending after her public breakup and journey as a single mother.

 

Moynahan and Frankel’s blended family consists of his three sons from a previous relationship, creating a loving and supportive environment for Jack.

Despite the unexpected twists in her journey, Moynahan is thankful for the extended family her son has, telling More magazine (via Us Weekly): “My son has two loving parents and an extended family, whether it’s cousins or stepmothers or boyfriends. My son is surrounded by love.”

In sharing her story, it’s clear that Moynahan is someone who embodies resilience and embracing the unpredictability of life. She’s consistently demonstrated the strength of a mother determined to provide love and support for her child, and that’s certainly an admirable trait.
