Khloe Kardashian's fans are confused by new selfie: 'That's not you'
KhloeKardashian's fans were left scratching their heads on Thursday, June 20, after the star shared a photo of herself with long blond hair and a somewhat different looking side profile. While pals including Malika Haqq and Faye Resnick gushed in the comments about how gorgeous she looked, some fans didn't understand why she suddenly looked so much more like Kim Kardashian West than, well, herself. "That's not you," wrote one Instagram, user (via Us Weekly). "Where is Khloé? This picture isn't her," declared another. Others pointed out that she seems to "look different in every one of her pictures" and asked if her nose had somehow changed. If she looks different on the outside these days, it might be because she's been facing some hard feelings as the scandal around Jordyn Woods and Tristan Thompson's alleged hookup plays out on "KUWTK." "Khloé is really strong," a source tells Us. "She has been living this for months. It's hard for her to see it all over again, but she's in such a better place. It's almost cathartic."

Are Sophie Turner and Joe Jonas gearing up for Wedding No. 2 in Paris? After getting legally hitched in Las Vegas this spring, the two were spotted outside the Hotel Costes in Paris on Thursday, June 19,following dinner with friends. The sighting is already sparking rumors they could take advantage of their time overseas to hold the second, larger wedding they're rumored to be planning in Europe. According to People the Vegas ceremony was a technicality of sorts and they've planned all along to have a more traditional ceremony with friends and family in France this summer. And while it is Men's Fashion Week in Paris, both Joe and Sophie have already ticked off their bachelor and bachelorette parties, with Joe having celebrated in Ibiza, while Sophie teamed up with her "Game of Thrones" sister and best friend, Maisie Williams, for a Eurotrip bachelorette.

Penelope Cruz: Words like 'menopause' and 'period' should not be taboo
In 2019, why is it still so hard for people to talk about normal functions and aspects of the female body? Whatever the answer is, Penelope Cruz believes such discomfort represents a larger problem in our society. "There are times in the life of a woman that have to be acknowledged and understood," says the stunning Oscar winner, 54, in Tatler's August cover story (via the Evening Standard). "There are too many taboos surrounding women's bodies and I think it equals a big lack of respect," she continues. "Words like 'period', 'post-partum depression', 'menopause', even today, you bring them up at a dinner table, everybody gets nervous. Even if it's a group of women, if men are also at the table, the energy gets very nervous. Society keeps things taboo and I'm really angry about this." Penelope, who stars alongside Antonio Bandras in Pedro Almodovar's next film, "Pain and Glory," also thinks it's important to bear in mind that our culture still has a long way to go when it comes to issues that the #MeToo Movement started pushing out into the light. "Everything they're asking us in interviews … they ask about the changes that have happened in the business over the last couple of years, in terms of the movement towards equality for women and respect for women. Of course it feels like there's been some improvement, but it's only the beginning." There's a balance that needs to come into play with regard to how we discuss some of these issues, too, Penelope points out. "This is a worldwide problem. This is a big thing," she says. "For us to be commenting, 'Oh no, you cannot say a woman looks good' are we f—– crazy?"
Matt Lauer's Hamptons estate is going up for sale
Matt Lauer and his ex, Annette Roque, are putting their Hamptons mansion on the market. Page Six reports the oceanside Strongheart Manor, which the former couple bought from Richard Gere in 2016 for $36.5 million, is about to hit the market for $44 million. A source described as a "top broker" tells the tab, "Drones have been circling the estate from above, and photographers have been circling it from the ground as well," in preparation for the listing. The gated property boasts 12 bedrooms, 12 bathrooms, a separate tea house and pond with a bridge, a basketball court, a private dock and a pool that faces the bay, all of which sits on 6.2 acres. Originally built in 1902, the estate has been restored with an "eco-chic" aesthetic, according to the Post. Now that Matt and Annette's divorce has been finalized, she'll reportedly stay in the Hamptons with the kids — and her sizable settlement (she's reportedly getting $20 million in assets as well as the 40-acre horse farm the pair owned), while Matt gets his own place.
Lindsay Lohan inks a new record deal
On the heels of reports her Mykonos Beach Club has closed (she says it's just moving), Lindsay Lohan is returning to music. According to Page Six, the 32-year-old has a new contract with Tommy Mattola's Casablanca Records. That's the same label she was on when she recorded 2004's "Speak," an album that earned relatively positive reviews for Lindsay's voice — but was generally dismissed for what Allmusic.com described as its "relentlessly Pro-tooled dance pop and hooky but unmelodic songs." In spite of being panned, the release went platinum and the video for "Rumors" got an MTV Video Music Award nomination. She's currently working on new music and "some soundtracks," according to a Page Six insider.

Cardi B's indictment will be unsealed at her arraignment next week: DA
Cardi B was indicted by a grand jury this week on 14 charges including two counts of felony attempted assault with intent to cause serious physical injury, according to TMZ. The charges all stem from the August strip club brawl the rapper was arrested in connection with in October in New York City. The fight broke out after Cardi allegedly ordered an attack on two bartenders at the club whom she believed were having — or trying to have — an inappropriate relationship with her husband, Offset. The women said they were injured in the fight, which initially just left her facing two misdemeanors. Prosecutors told TMZ they took the matter to a grand jury because of additional information they discovered that has not yet been made public. After Cardi rejected a plea deal offer, she also now faces charges ranging from misdemeanor reckless endangerment to criminal solicitation, conspiracy and harassment, according to the website. The District Attorney's office tells USA Today details of the indictment will be unsealed on Tuesday, June 25, at Cardi's arraignment. Meanwhile, Cardi seems to be taking the news in stride. On Thursday, she picked up a Songwriter of the Year award at the ASCAP Rhythm and Soul Music Awards in Los Angeles.
Prince Harry and Duchess Meghan's birthday comment to Prince William fuels rift rumors
Rumors of a rift between Prince William and Prince Harry were fanned again on Friday, June 21, thanks to what many saw as an impersonal birthday message Harry and Duchess Meghan posted on social media. Commenting on a birthday tribute shared by Kensington Palace on Instagram, the @sussexroyal account wrote only, "Happy Birthday to The Duke of Cambridge!" Shortly after the message appeared, fans began questioning it. "It's your own brother, why the need to be so formal?" asked one. Another commenter, via The Sun, suggested that referring to William as "brother" would be "more gentle. "This read slike there is hostility," the commenter added. If there is indeed hostility, it has yet to be confirmed.
Behati Prinsloo opens up about postpartum depression
Behati Prinsloo wants other young mothers to remember how important it is to ask for support when navigating the roller coaster of emotions that often follow welcoming a child for the first time. In a new post for Today.com, the model reflects on the differences in her outlook on life since she and her husband, Adam Levine, welcomed their daughters, Dusty, 2, and Gio, 1 . "Being a mom has changed me in many ways. I had moments of postpartum (depression) after our first baby that I felt like it was coming through. But my husband was so incredibly supportive and always got me out of it," she says. "I think it's very normal, though, as a young mom and a new mom to feel helpless and to feel over emotional, you know." Behati also admits that she "got lucky not to have it to an extreme case," but says she still knew she was off. "You see yourself spiraling," she explains. "I think that the message is just that it's never too little to get help or to ask for help. So, no matter how small your feelings and stress—or whatever it is about being a new mom—there's always help out there and support from family and friends and I think nobody judges anyone."
