Kim Kardashian Extends Gratitude to Kanye West’s ‘College Dropout’ Bear Mascot Designer in Heartfelt Gesture
Kim Kardashian continues to showcase her appreciation for Kanye West, even amid their high-profile divorce. Recently, their daughter North West paid tribute to her father by donning his iconic bear mascot costume for Halloween, a move that stirred up nostalgia for Kanye’s “College Dropout” era.
The mastermind behind the memorable bear mascot, designer Bobby Naugle, received a sweet thank-you from Kardashian. In a heartfelt message shared on her Instagram Story, she revealed the connection with Naugle, who originally designed the bear in 2003 and worked on early tour merchandise. Kardashian expressed her gratitude, recounting how Naugle, out of kindness, reached out in 2022 to gift North some original merch without expecting anything in return.
Maintaining their connection, Kardashian shared that Naugle, upon being approached by collectors and auction houses, chose to give away additional collectibles from 2003-2005, including Kanye’s original personal pink Ralph Lauren polo and first-hand sketches. Kardashian praised Naugle for his rare kindness and generosity in an industry often driven by profit, noting that he could have easily sold these valuable items for a substantial sum.

Bobbi Althoff Claps Back, Shuts Down Rumors of Sleeping with Interview Guests
Bobbi Althoff is currently one of the biggest names in the podcast and media space. Her rapid rise to fame has been a bit polarizing, with some people not appreciating how quickly she has ascended the ranks. Despite this, Althoff remains a heavily discussed figure on social media, especially for her interviews with rappers. However, her success has unfortunately come with a wave of misogynistic accusations.
A common criticism Althoff faces is the baseless claim that she “slept her way to the top,” particularly after her interview with Drake. Even Ryan Garcia perpetuated this erroneous rumor. Previously, Althoff had not addressed these trolls, but on Wednesday, she decided to put a hater in their place. According to TMZ, Althoff took to her Instagram to call out the false accusations.
In her Instagram story, Althoff made it clear that she does not sleep around and has never slept with any of her interview guests. She expressed frustration over the constant accusations whenever she posts about interviewing a man. Additionally, she addressed rumors about her personal life, stating that social media only shows what she allows it to. With this, Althoff aimed to silence the rumors once and for all.

Lori Harvey Rocks Leopard Bikini and Cowgirl Hat, Ignites Social Media Frenzy
Lori Harvey may be keeping her dating endeavors under wraps these days, but fortunately for fans, the same doesn’t apply to her beach-ready bod. Recently, the 27-year-old model took to her Instagram Story to share a fun clip of herself vibing to Tyla with a couple of friends. She stunned in a tiny leopard print bikini, which she paired with a straw hat and some eye-catching gold jewelry.
Hollywood Unlocked shared the fun clip on Instagram earlier today, and as expected, their comments section is now flooded with fans sharing their takes. While most are simply thirsting over Harvey’s summery look and snatched figure, others can’t wait to hear more about her love life, particularly after her recent Parisian rendezvous with Luka Sabbat.
She and the Grownish actor were spotted enjoying lunch at a local hotspot last month, and of course, dating rumors were soon to follow. Harvey didn’t waste any time shutting them down, however, making it clear that the two of them are nothing more than friends. “Aht! Aht! Me and Luka have been friends for years, let’s not start this narrative,” she wrote at the time. It appears as though these days, she’s enjoying her time as a single gal, at least in the public eye. Fans can’t blame her for it either, though they are anxious as ever to see who she’ll pop out with following her split from Damson Idris.
Either way, she looks to be living her best life and making the most of her summer, and her supporters are certainly here for it. What do you think of Lori Harvey living her best life in a leopard print bikini? What about fans badgering her for more details about her love life?
