A BIT TOO FAR DON'T YOU THINK?
A store is selling a A store's selling a Kim Kardashian robbery Halloween costume - and people are furious
Last week news broke that Kim Kardashian had been robbed at gunpoint in her hotel during Paris Fashion Week. The criminals got away with a $4 million ring and some other undisclosed pieces of jewelry.
Kanye West stops his concert at the Meadows music festival in New York City when he finds out what happened to his wife. Kim files a report with police and leaves Paris heading back home for comfort.
Yes, it's Kim Kardashian. Yes, she flaunts her body, she shows off her riches on social media, she now knows she went too far, someone decided to share her wealth as Karl Lagerfeld noted. This human being is traumatized. Not Kim Kardashina, the brand. A person, mother, wife, sister, aunt, woman.
But only truly cold-hearted individuals out there can make fun of her after all that happened. Kim, whose trauma will most likely haunt her for the rest of her life is with her children right now, probably hugging them and not wanting them to leave her site.
As if that wasn't enough, internet decides to turn one woman's trauma into more jokes.
With Halloween around the corner, costume company is marketing a "Parisian Heist Robbery Victim Costume Kit," with all the trappings of a Kardashian: the big Céline-esque sunglasses, "$4 Million Dollar" ring, a black wig, and a robe that is specifically designed to be "sexy." While the costume isn't blatantly called "Kim Kardashian," it leaves little imagination as to who was the "inspiration" for this "look" — and the URL for the website to purchase the costume does mention "Kim" in its slug.
The First Trailer for Natalie Portman's Dark Portrayal of Jackie O Is Here
It's not a film about stylish Jackie Onassis
The trailer for Jackie is finally out. It looks like this movie is a reminder that Jackie Kennedy Onassis life was far from a fairytale. The film is not to remember how Jackie dressed or what well manners she had. This film is dark. It's a reality check. It's about beauty, bravery, trauma and a roller coaster of emotions.
"People like to believe in fairytales," says Portman as Kennedy Onassis in voice-over as servicemen fold an American flag over her husband's coffin. "Don't let it be forgot that for one brief, shiny moment there was a Camelot."
Chilean director Pablo Larrain's first English-language film has already screened at film festivals in both Venice and Toronto. No, it is not a celebration of Kennedy Onassis as an American icon, it is a story of a widow of the victim of one of the most sensational assassinations of all time.

Difficult fate of Mineko Iwasaki
most famous and highly paid Geisha
Many people mistakenly equate the concepts of "geisha" and "prostitute". However, it is not. The word "geisha" means "men of art." For Japanese geisha is comparable with the ideal woman who knows how to sing, to dance, to maintain an interesting conversation and to be hostess.
Mineko Iwasaki was the most famouse geisha. Her biography was the basis of the book, which later became a bestseller.
Until the XVIII century geisha could only be men, because women are were not allowed to participate in public life. Male geisha entertained with dance and games which involved drinking. After the 1700s female geisha gradually appeared in Japan. They became a serious competitor to prostitutes, offering a wider range of services. After some time, the government has introduced clear rules of procedure concerning the sexual life of geisha, their way of dressing, and working conditions.
The more popular geisha became, the more villagers began selling their daughters to study this profession. The girls had to live in a special place 6 years (Okiya). They were taught dance, music, tricks conducting tea ceremony. Not all the girls could keep up with tight schedule and become geisha.
During World War II craft geisha was banned. Only in 1950, their activities began to revive. Mineko Iwasaki became the most famous and highly paid Geisha. Parents sold Mineko when she was only five years old. The owner of Okiya, Madame Oyma officially adopted the girl, making her the heir. At 15 years of age Mineko became a student (maiko), and at age of 21 she was the most famous geisha in Japan. Mineko Iwasaki was invited to entertain the highest personages, among them Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Charles. Her earnings amounted to 500, 000 dollars a year.
With these revenues, she decided to live outside the geisha okiya. She took off for a luxury apartment, but soon realized that she is not quite adapted to that lifestyle. Mineko did not even know how to turn on a gas cooker. A year later, she moved back to the okiya.
Other geisha envied Mineko's popularity. A lot of needles were pinched into her kimono, she was beaten on the streets. Only when Mineko began taking other geisha with her to banquets, the side stopped the attacks. Mineko slept only three hours a day and seven days a week and worked without brakes. It affected her health. At the peak of her popularity (just 29 years), not being able to go beyond the regulated behavior geisha Mineko Iwasaki decides to finish her career.
The life story of Mineko Iwasaki was the basis of the works of Arthur Golden's "Memoirs of a Geisha." The book was published in 1997 and immediately became an international bestseller. Before writing the book Mineko Iwasaki has agreed to give an interview to the author under the condition that her name not be mentioned anywhere. But Arthur Golden has placed her name in the Acknowledgements section. After the "Memoirs of a Geisha" has been translated into Japanese, Mineko began to receive threats for violating the rules of silence. The woman filed a lawsuit against Golden for misrepresentation of her life, the author paid the full amount requested.
Mineko Iwasaki decided to publish a book, tellingabout her real biography. "True Memoirs of a Geisha" had no less success than the publication of Arthur Golden.

The 'Sexist' 1975 Helen Mirren Interview
A recently unearthed video of an interview with British talk show host Michael Parkinson in 1975 is making the rounds online, and for good reason
An infamous 1975 interview between Helen Mirren and journalist Michael Parkinson is breaking the internet once again and to be honest, this is quiet uncomfortable to watch. Mirren then in her late 20s keeps her cool despite a line of sexist questions from Parkinsons.
Parkinsons begins by introducing this "rising star of the theater" as a "sex queen" described by critics as an “amorous boa constrictor” who projects “sluttish eroticism.”
Within a minute into the interviw Parkinson tells Mirren that “you are, in quotes, a serious actress ...”
“In quotes? What do you mean, in quotes? How dare you,” she responds.
Parkinson then asks Mirren if her “equipment” — her breasts — hinder her in her acting.
“I’d like you to explain what you mean by my equipment ... in great detail,” she retorts. “Come on, spit it out.”
“Serious actresses can’t have big bosoms, is that what you mean?”
While Parkinson argues that big breasts could detract from a performance, Mirren suggests that she hopes any performance can overcome such a distraction — and from such “boring questions.”
“Boring questions?” Parkinson asks, apparently surprised.
“Pretty boring, in the end, yeah,” she says.
30 years later Mirren sits down on camera with Parkinson once more — and in their 2006 rematch, she tells the talk show host that she’d “hated” him first time around.
“I thought you were a sexist person for mentioning my breasts, and also you wouldn’t actually say the word ‘breasts,’” she scolded him.
