KANYE WEST’S PRESIDENTIAL RUN WAS ‘THE FINAL STRAW’ FOR KIM KARDASHIAN – (01/07/2021)

Reports say that Kanye West‘s presidential run was “the final straw” for Kim Kardashian. According to Page Six, a source said that Kanye’s presidential campaign made Kim realize she “needed to end the marriage for the sake of her kids and her own sanity.” 

The source continued, “Kim was really supportive of Kanye during his struggle with his mental health. But she knows she has to do the right thing for her kids.”

A second source added, “She never came out publicly and endorsed him. Her silence on it spoke volumes.”

A source also denied rumors that Kim is dating CNN‘s Van Jones or anyone else. 

KANYE IS ‘SAD’ ABOUT DIVORCE

Meanwhile, a source told People that although Kim is sad she feels that she has done “everything in her power to make her marriage work.” And that even though she has been thinking about divorce for months, she didn’t because she feels “terrible for the kids.”

The source that Kanye is “sad, but okay,” adding, ‘He knows the inevitable will happen, and he knows that it’s coming soon.”

Despite their issues, the two spent Christmas together at their home with the kids. TMZ reported that Kanye bought Kim five 2021 Mercedes-Maybach GLS600 SUVs — which are priced just under $200,000 each, while Kim gave Kanye several James Turrell art pieces worth over $1 million.

FANS HAVE DATING THEORIES ABOUT KIM KARDASHIAN WEST – (01/07/2021)

Kim Kardashian West is hoping to kick off 2021 on a healthier note. Right before reports of her split from Kanye West landed, she shared her hopes on IG Stories, posting videos of her working out with her trainer, Melissa Alcantara. She wrote: “Sister Boot Camp starts this month! Plant Based and Two workouts a day for 30 days to get our mind and body right for this year!” 

While it’s unclear if the reports of their split or rumors, or something more substantial, they’re coming in hot and furious. Sources tell Us that settlement talks are “ongoing. Kim wants to control the PR campaign of the divorce and she was blindsided by leaks about the divorce reports.”

The insider adds that Kardashian, 40, and West, 43, have not “been together in weeks and didn’t spend the holidays together.” She has reportedly has high-profile divorce lawyer Laura Wasser on retainer for months. Laura helped Kim in her split from Kris Humphries

DATING SPECULATION

Meanwhile, fans are speculating that Kim has already moved on from Kanye with Van Jones, a CNN commentator whom she has worked with on prison reform. 

One person tweeted, “I try not to dip too deep into the gossip pool but Kim Kardashian & Van Jones is not far off base, she’s trying to pass the California Bar to become a lawyer. Van Jones is a lawyer. At least she’s calculated.”

“Kim Kardashian and Van Jones: An Inevitable Love Story,” wrote another.

Van has spoken highly of Kim in the past, telling Andy Cohen on Watch What Happens Live in 2019 that she is “brilliant” and will make a good lawyer because she is “incredibly persuasive and persistent.”

WHY DID OLIVIA WILDE EXIT VIDEO STARRING SHIA LABEOUF + HARRY STYLES ROMANCE INSIGHT – (01/07/2021)

Olivia Wilde reportedly ousted Shia LaBeouf from Don’t Worry Darling over his problematic behavior, but the drama didn’t end there. She directed LaBeouf and Margaret Qualley (his rumored girlfriend) in the NSFW music video “Love Me Like You Hate Me,” sung by her sister Rainey Qualley, aka Rainsford, but it didn’t end well.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, LaBeouf submitted his own cut of the video before she’d been able to finish it. He sent the cut over on a group email, and Wilde responded, writing she’d look at it and submit her own cut. LaBeouf then wrote back, saying the correct response would have been to write thank you and that “we should go with this” in reference to the one he submitted. Per a source who saw the email, he also wrote: “Great jazz musicians know when not to play.”

Wilde wrote back, “I’m out.” Her name has been removed from the project. LaBeouf’s on and off-set behavior has been the subject of much controversy, and he is currently being sued by FKA Twigs over his alleged abuse of her during their relationship. 

HARRY + OLIVIA

Wilde ended up casting Harry Styles in LaBeouf’s old role, which led to a much-buzzed about new romance. Sources tell People that the pair started out as friends but it “quickly turned romantic. Their chemistry was very obvious.”

Wilde split from Jason Sudeikis, 45, in early 2020, and Styles joined the film in September. He plays the husband of Florence Pugh’s character.

“During breaks in filming he wasn’t able to stay away and would visit her trailer,” says the insider. 

The pair were photographed holding hands at a wedding in California, and sources say that he introduced her there as his girlfriend.
