Pop Culture Catch-Up: Kanye West’s birthday gift for Kim K, Scarlett Johansson tied the knot with Colin Jost, and more
Kanye’s birthday gift for Kim K West was a “Hologram from Heaven”
Kim Kardashian West did not hold back on celebrating her 40th birthday. A private jet, a private island in Tahiti and a lavish party to top it off, the Skims designer certainly knows how to have a good time. But husband Kanye West topped it off with a present that only he could have thought of it.
Kim shared the special gift on Instagram, calling it a “Hologram from Heaven” with the caption: “For my birthday, Kanye got me the most thoughtful gift of a lifetime. A special surprise from heaven. A hologram of my dad. It is so lifelike and we watched it over and over, filled with lots of tears and emotion. I can’t even describe what this meant to me and my sisters, my brother, my mum and closest friends to experience together. Thank you so much, Kanye, for this memory that will last a lifetime.”
The hologram of her late father starts off by wishing the mother of four a happy birthday before going on to express how proud he is of all her achievements. Kanye never ceases to amaze us with his ingenious gift ideas. Happy birthday to Kim!

The trailer for Season Four of The Crown has us wanting more
Season Four of The Crown brings a whole new wave of tension within the Royal Family. Depicting the era of the late 1970s through to the 1980s, this new season sees Margaret Thatcher become Prime Minister and the stirring issues that eventually lead to the start of the Falklands War.
Coming to Netflix on November 15, the story is also at a point where the Royal Family is concerned with the line of succession. Prince Charles is told: “Your duty now is choice of a woman that people will love as princess and in due course as queen.” And thus, this season sees the introduction of his romance with Lady Diana Spencer, which soon becomes the focus of the British nation.
As Diana struggles with the transition from teenager to a public figure, the trailer also shows her desperation for love from the Queen. “All I want is to be loved,” she tells Queen Elizabeth. She adds, “It’s all any of us want from you.” So who else is ready for the new season?
