Kim Kardashian says her biggest Met Gala regret wasn’t Marilyn Monroe’s dress
Kim Kardashian says her biggest Met Gala regret wasn’t Marilyn Monroe’s dress

Kim Kardashian is finally revealing the real regret behind her headline-making 2022 Met Gala appearance — and it has nothing to do with Marilyn Monroe’s historic gown. In a new episode of The Kardashians, Kim admits that bleaching her hair platinum to match Monroe was the misstep that still haunts her. She now believes the blond look was unnecessary, distracting, and even worked against the elegant homage she intended. Kim shared that she has since experimented with photoshopped versions of alternative hairstyles, including a sleek dark look she now thinks would have paired more powerfully with the iconic dress. Despite the intense backlash she faced for wearing Monroe’s fragile gown, Kim says her frustration has always centered on her styling choice, not the controversy. Four years later, the color of her slicked-back bun remains the part of the night she would redo.

In a candid conversation with AARP’s Movies for Grownups, Hamilton made it clear that she has no interest in appearing younger, saying she refuses to spend “a moment trying to look younger on any level.” Every line on her face, she insists, is earned — a testament to the life she has lived.

Quentin Tarantino reignites the Hunger Games vs Battle Royale debate with bold new claims
Quentin Tarantino reignites the Hunger Games vs Battle Royale debate with bold new claims

Quentin Tarantino has kicked up a cultural dust storm again, this time by accusing The Hunger Games franchise of borrowing heavily — too heavily — from the Japanese cult classic Battle Royale. Speaking on The Bret Easton Ellis Podcast, Tarantino didn’t tiptoe around the subject. He said he was “shocked” that Battle Royale’s original author never sued Suzanne Collins, arguing that the similarities between the two works are “way too close” to be coincidence. He blamed American literary critics for calling The Hunger Games “original,” claiming they were unlikely to have watched a Japanese film like Battle Royale in the first place. Film critics, he said, immediately recognized the overlap and dismissed The Hunger Games as a PG-friendly version of a much darker story.
