Kourtney Kardashian Accuses Kim of “Legit Copying My Wedding” in “The Kardashians” Season 3 Teaser

Kim and Kourtney Kardashian seem to have some beef. Fans have been speculating that the sibling duo have had tension brewing for a while, but season three of "The Kardashians" on Hulu dives deeper into the source of their current clash - and it has everything to do with Dolce & Gabbana. For context, Kourtney partnered with the fashion brand for her lavish Italian wedding to Travis Barker in May 2022. Soon after, Kim began a partnership of her own with the brand, and apparently Kourtney wasn't happy about it. In a conversation with Kendall Jenner that aired as a teaser at the end of the third episode of "The Kardashians" season three, Kourtney broke down in tears when discussing her sister's decision to work with the brand. "Sorry, it just like upsets me," she said. "It's just legit copying my wedding." She also clarified in clips from the upcoming episode that the feud is definitely real. "People think that it's a misunderstanding," she said. "It's not." Also in the teaser for next week's episode, Kourtney accused Kim of using the former's wedding "as a business opportunity." Kendall later told Kim that Kourtney "felt like her wedding vibes were stripped from her" due to the partnership. The Kardashian family's decision to partner with Dolce & Gabbana has ruffled some feathers before, but not for the same reasons that upset Kourtney. The brand has a long history of racism and homophobia; for example, cofounders Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana reportedly told Italian magazine Panorama, "We oppose gay adoptions. The only family is the traditional one," per Quartz. They also came under fire for an ad showing a Chinese model eating Italian food with chopsticks, among other controversies, though neither Kourtney or Kim has addressed these issues. New episodes of "The Kardashians" season three premiere Thursdays on Hulu.

Jessica Alba Celebrates Daughter Honor’s 15th Birthday: “So Proud of Who You’ve Become”

Jessica Alba and Cash Warren's first daughter, Honor Marie Warren, celebrated a major milestone this week: her 15th birthday! On June 7, Alba and Warren posted sentimental tributes for their teenager to mark her big day. "15 years ago, baby girl Honor Marie Warren made me a mama," Alba captioned a photo montage of Honor through the years. "I had absolutely no idea how much my world was going to change . . . to say my heart burst open the moment I saw you, doesn't even cover it. My entire world was flipped right side up and I felt the deepest, most profound love." "Thank you for being such an incredibly loving daughter and for being the best big sis to Haven and Hayes." The post featured pictures of Honor on her first day of school, at the beach, and spending quality time with her younger siblings, Haven and Hayes. Aware of how much they look alike, the mother-daughter has snapped a few photos in matching outfits and coordinated poses in recent years. One such snap showed Alba and Honor back to back measuring who's taller, and Honor definitely has a few inches on her mama. Even as the teenager has grown, though, her mom has made it clear that Honor is still her "baby girl." "15 years later, I am so proud of who you have become my Honorcita, you are everything and more my baby girl," Alba wrote, praising her daughter's emotional strength and for being a great big sister. "Kind, driven, caring, intelligent, bold, silly, independent, emotional, creative, wise, rebellious . . . all the things. Thank you for being such an incredibly loving daughter and for being the best big sis to Haven and Hayes, for standing in your truth, for having integrity, for being emotionally available . . . you have taught me so much my Angel, you are the perfect combo of being soft and strong." Alba concluded her message with a few more touching words, sending Honor lots of love on her special day. "Continue to be your truest self and always present and loving -manifesting all that you desire sweet girl," she wrote. "One of my greatest gifts is watching how you unfold and seeing the life you are creating for yourself. Big hugs and smooches. Happy birthday, baby girl - 15! Whaaaaat!!!???" On his own Instagram account, Warren explained that he was feeling a "combination of love, pride, appreciation and pain" at seeing his oldest daughter turn 15. "Understandably, it's a bit bittersweet," he wrote. "Watching you navigate through life often leaves me in awe. You have this rare ability to learn life's lessons the first time around. Most of us spend years running away from obstacles in search for an easier path. Only to find ourselves back at the same roadblocks. Not you. You somehow understand that there is no point in delaying the inevitable, so you meet the obstacles head on. You learn and you move forward. I'm beyond proud." Warren went on to praise Honor's artistic talents, "competitive spirit," and "empathetic heart." "I love your ambition and I love that you're willing to put in the work," he said. "You have all the tools and I love watching you apply them. You're a force of nature, Honor, and I love being your Dad. Keep crushing it!! Happy Birthday!!"

Adam Sandler’s Daughters Star in His New Netflix Comedy, “You Are So Not Invited to My Bat Mitzvah”

Adam Sandler's latest Netflix comedy is a family affair. While fans of the comedian are familiar with his wife, Jackie Sandler, appearing in many of his movies in small roles, when it comes to the upcoming "You Are So Not Invited to My Bat Mitzvah," it's his daughters, Sunny and Sadie, who take center stage. The new movie follows lifelong best friends Stacy (Sunny) and Lydia (Samantha Lorraine), two 12-year-olds determined to throw the best bat mitzvahs to ensure their adult lives start with a bang. But when the school's popular boy, Andy Goldfarb (Dylan Hoffman), comes between them, can their friendship and carefully laid party plans survive Hebrew school drama? Fans of Adam will get to see the comedian play his real-life daughters' dad in the movie and likely offer tons of humorous - yet sage - fatherly advice as all the teenage chaos and drama ensue around him. The movie's director, Sammi Cohen, tells POPSUGAR that while the film surrounds bat mitzvahs, a uniquely Jewish rite of passage, it's ultimately a universally relatable movie about friendship and coming of age. "What's fun about being Jewish is you get together with people you love, and you eat, you dance, you sing," she says. "But really, that experience is so universal. This isn't just a movie about being Jewish. It's a movie about being human. It's a feel-good story that doesn't shy away from the hard parts of growing up. I love coming-of-age films because it's this thing we all experience. Not just once in our lives, but over and over again. We all have different experiences based on our culture, religion, and identity, but when you get down to the core values, we have so much in common." That's why "YASNITMB" puts Stacy and Lydia's friendship at the forefront. Cohen shares, "It's funny how society puts so much weight on romantic relationships. I think platonic friend love is just as important as romantic love. You date lots of people, but your best friends are with you through it all. Friends are chosen family. This entire experience, both on and off camera, is rooted in friendship." Ahead, learn all there is to know about the movie. "You Are So Not Invited to My Bat Mitzvah" Cast Joining Sunny, Sadie, Lorraine, and Hoffman, the movie's cast of teenagers will also include Millie Thorpe and Dylan Dash as Stacy's other best friends, Niki and Tara; Dean Scott Vazquez as Mateo; and Miya Cech and Ivory Baker as the school's popular girls, Kym and Megan. Cohen says Sunny and Sadie "bring a level of authenticity to this film that helps set it apart." It looks like the girls have inherited their father's creative skills. "We would rework a line if it didn't sound like something a kid would say today. Both Sunny and Sadie are so gifted, and they both have such a specific strength and tone," Cohen says. "These characters were made for them. It was fun to watch them do their comedy thing on screen." On the adult side, Idina Menzel joins the film as Stacy's mom, Bree, while Adam's real-life wife, Jackie, plays Lydia's mom, Gabi. Rounding out the principal adult cast are "Saturday Night Live"'s Sarah Sherman as Rabbi Rebecca, Ido Mosseri as the highly sought-after DJ Schmuley, and Luis Guzmán as Eli Katz. Cohen says the cast came together like family almost instantly. "We had time leading up to the shoot where I got to rehearse with the kids. A lot of that rehearsal was hanging out, talking pronouns, making TikToks," she says, adding, "You form these bonds instantly, and then you have inside jokes. It really becomes an organic way to have these authentic bonds. It's clear when you're watching the movie, these kids love each other." "You Are So Not Invited to My Bat Mitzvah" Release Date "You Are So Not Invited to My Bat Mitzvah" hits Netflix on Aug. 25. "You Are So Not Invited to My Bat Mitzvah" Photos

How Emeraude Toubia Used Her Real-Life Divorce in Her “With Love” Season 2 Role

When Gloria Calderón Kellett's "With Love" series dropped on Amazon Prime in December 2021, it hit differently from any other rom-com series or film featuring a mostly Latine cast. In this cross-generational romance, we got to experience couples falling in love - including the show's lead Lily Diaz (played by Emeraude Toubia) - in a beautiful and lighthearted way, without the trauma. For many Latinas, Lily's character is quite relatable. She's a hopeless romantic who's in love with love. Her parents are happily married, so she's been conditioned to believe that if you find love, get married, and have kids, your life will be perfect. But in season two, Lily starts to realize that her idea of happily ever after in love doesn't actually exist. For Toubia, this is an unrealistic standard that she once set herself. "I think it's become more known that we grew up with these expectations that don't exist, right? . . . We're taught to go to school, get good grades, go to college, be successful, but don't be too successful where you push men away," Toubia tells POPSUGAR. "Especially being from a Latino family, you have to bow down to your significant other in a way. [There's] societal expectations, then you get married, then you have kids, and that's your life." "Growing up, we're like, 'OK, this is what I have to do, and if I do this step by step, my life is going to be great.' And that's not how it works. It's crazy, because my personal life kind of bled into what was happening on the show." But just like her character, Toubia's perspective has since shifted: "Growing up, we're like, 'OK, this is what I have to do, and if I do this step by step, my life is going to be great.' And that's not how it works. It's crazy, because my personal life kind of bled into what was happening on the show." Toubia is referring to her relationship with her ex-husband Prince Royce. After 12 years together and three years of marriage, the Mexican Lebanese actress and Dominican bachata artist announced their separation in 2022, months after the release of "With Love"s first season. "Now I'm navigating life as a woman in her 30s," Toubia shares. "I was with my ex all of my 20s, and it's like, 'Who am I now as this 30-something-year-old woman that is single, successful in a way, and what does she want from life?' I was told I had to do all these things, and I did them, but that didn't fulfill me. That didn't make me happy, so then what is it that I want from life?" In this season of "With Love," we see Lily navigating a very similar reality. After breaking things off with Santiago (played by Rome Flynn) after realizing they weren't on the same page about marriage, Lily learns to finally give herself the love she was trying to find in a romantic relationship. "I feel that's what she's navigating," Toubia says. "I feel like we're constantly seeking validation from our parents. We want to make sure they're proud of us. So that's kind of what she's balancing and realizing. There's a great line that Gloria Calderón Kellett's character says - which is my favorite character, Gladys - she says on the show, 'You don't have to do that in order. What are you doing?'" Toubia is referring to a scene in season two in which Lily is venting to her Tia Gladys about being almost 30 and living with her parents. "Oh baby, no, no, no, I'm going to tell you a little secret. The track does not exist," Gladys says before Lily goes down the list of things she believes she needs to accomplish by a certain age and in a certain order. "That is a fake schedule that society has been hammering into your head since the minute you were born," her tía continues. "Who says you have to do it in that order? You don't need a husband to buy a house - hello! You don't need to wait to meet the love of your life to love your life. Your happily ever after can start right now." In season two, we see Lily finally putting herself first. She's focusing on herself: concentrating on personal goals and eventually finding herself in a healthy relationship with someone who wants exactly what she wants. (Spoiler alert: it's Nick!) Today, Toubia is also putting herself first, and she says she's dating while not fixating on who is going to wind up being her real-life Nick. While she believes chemistry and connection are essential in any healthy romantic relationship, she also believes compatibility is often overlooked. We see that with Lily and Santiago. Their chemistry and connection is off the chains, but the two want entirely different things. Lily wants marriage and a family; Santiago doesn't believe in marriage at all. Lily is able to find all three things in Nick, who actually admits to Lily that he's excited by the idea of marrying her. Toubia also believes having all these factors align is important in her personal life. "I'm navigating dating life again, and it's a completely different world than when I was in college and in high school," Toubia says. "I do feel that there has to be chemistry. I've dated many men that are perfect on paper, but they are just missing something that I want, right? And I feel that it's necessary. But again, it's balance. It's being communicative. I feel like sometimes we're afraid to say how we feel. We are afraid to be vulnerable. We are afraid to be rejected. If the person doesn't want you in the way you want them, it's better to know now versus later." In the final episode of season two, Lily expresses her confusion over whether she's supposed to wind up with Nick or with Santiago. She's talking with her mom (played by Constance Marie), who gives Lily a really powerful piece of advice. "Of all the men on this earth, I decided to love your papi, and he decided to love me back," she says. "And we doubled down on that choice every day after. You keep looking for outside validation when it's an inside job." Toubia agrees: "I think if you find a good person with a good heart, [remember] there's going to be a million beautiful women and a billion beautiful men, but when you find one that's worth it, let's choose them. Choose them every day." In a world where most rom-com films and series focus so much on the spark, it's refreshing to find a series that's not just inclusive - that doesn't just center Latine love stories and joy - but also zooms in on the reality of romantic relationships and the choices we make around them. In the end, Lily finds herself empowered when it comes to her love life. And, just as fiction is a mirror of reality, Toubia is feeling more empowered than ever when it comes to her own.
