Kim Kardashian and Kanye West share some amazing stories on Kocktails with Khloe finale

From breastfeeding woes, to North West nearly ruining her dad's career... Nothing was off the table on Khloe Kardashian's talk show very last episode, where she was joined by her big sister and brother-in-law.

With drinks at the ready, Kim was ready to spill all her secrets.

In a preview clip, Koko asked the mum if she was still feeding her son Saint, who she welcomed in December last year.

“North West stopped that for me,” the 35-year-old admitted.

“She would cry so much and try to pull him off of me.”

“I was feeding him on this side, like this way, and she was so jealous that she took her little milk box and put it in my bra, the side with the straw sticking out, and she wanted to drink while he was drinking,” the Keeping Up With the Kardashians star continued.

But it seems like Kanye’s daughter has had a change of heart.

“This week she goes to me ‘Mommy I’m not mad anymore, you can feed baby brother I won’t cry” and I was like look honey, the milk is all dried up’,” Kim recounted.

This is not the first time Kim has spoken about breastfeeding.

Earlier in the year, the proud mama shared her tip to get North on board – she pumps her milk and gets her lively two-year-old to do feed Saint herself.

“That totally worked! She loved helping me, as opposed to my attention being off of her, and now she is my little helper.”

North wasn’t too impressed with the feeding situation in the Kardashian-West household.

In another preview, we see Kim being joined by her hubby and the couple’s good friends now-new parents Chrissy Teigen and John Legend.

Sitting at a table, Kim recounted how her daughter created some major mayhem with her daddy’s work.

The cheeky tot, who turns three in June, flushed the rapper’s phone down the toilet when it contained the sole recording of his new album Life of Pablo.

“They could not be retrieved,” Kim explained.

With Kanye quipping, “No Apple geniuses were genius enough!”

But it didn’t phase the dad-of-two, with Kim adding, “He didn’t get mad!”

It seems like Kanye is thankful to Apple for playing it’s part in him ending up with the curvy reality star.

This will be the very last episode of Kocktails With Khloe, with the show not being renewed.

Apparently Yeezy didn’t own a phone prior to 2011, and he only bought one that year after he heard that Kim was set to marry Kris Humphries.

“I got a phone because somebody decided they wanted to marry Kris Humphries,” he explained.

“I wasn’t up to anything, and I looked on the internet, and there was Kim Kardashian [which he pronounces as Kar-duh-shawn] with some extremely tall person, and I was like, I need to call her or something.”

Watch Kanye recount the story in the player below. Post continues after the video!

John Legend laughed, recalling that the only number “‘Ye had stored was Kim’s.”

“I started sending her pictures of certain basketball players that used to be cool, that now they wear their pants all the way up to here,” Kanye added.

“Like, ‘This is your future!'”

Kim and Kris were married for 72 days following their August 2011 wedding.

We’re guessing the pictures worked!

Kim married her rapper beau in 2014.

Queen’s hilarious exchange with tourists who didn’t recognise her

Her Majesty told the American tourists she’d never met the Queen, but knew people who had.

Her face is on currency around the world, but Queen Elizabeth still manages to slip under the radar sometimes.

One of Queen Elizabeth’s former royal protection officers has revealed Her Majesty once bumped into some American tourists while out walking near Balmoral, and chatted to them happily about the Queen, all the while not revealing who she was.

Richard Griffin told The Times that he was walking with the Queen near her Scottish home when they met some tourists, who didn’t realise the elderly woman in tweed and a headscarf was the glamorous royal they were so desperate to meet.

When the tourists asked if she lived locally, the Queen simply replied she had “a house nearby” and when quizzed if she’d met the monarch, she said: “No, but he has,” gesturing to Richard.

We wonder if the tourists ever realised just how remarkable this encounter was!

Nine ordinary foods that could kill your dog

Chocolate is the obvious one but others might surprise you.

We’re all guilty of feeding out dogs a bit of leftover food here and there.

But these are the foods you should never give them because they’re actually toxic to canines.

Take note!

  • Grapes: they’re known to cause kidney failure and can kill within three days.

  • Avocado: they contain a toxin called persin which can lead to an upset stomach, breathing problems and fluid build-up in the chest.

  • Chocolate: the caffeine and theobromine in chocolate is toxic to dogs and can cause death. The darker the chocolate, the more toxic it is.

  • Macadamia nuts: they can cause weakness or inability to walk, especially in hind legs.

  • Onions and garlic: onions contain a compound that damages red bloods cells in dogs.

  • Apple cores: it’s the seeds that are poisonous to dogs and can induce seizures and even comas.

  • Bones: bones can splinter and can become lodged or even puncture the digestive tracks.

  • Milk and cheese: their sensitive tummies don’t produce the enzyme necessary to break down the lactose so too much can cause vomiting, diarrhoea and even digestive problems.

  • Yeast dough: if you’re a baker, don’t let your dog have any of your uncooked dough. It can cause painful bloating in their belly.

Fiji holiday becomes life in prison

A dream holiday ends in a nightmare.
tropical island

A dream holiday has turned into a nightmare for a Sydney tow truck driver as he now faces life in a Fijian jail, reports SMH.

Joseph Abourizk, 30, had been on holiday with his wife, but after she went home early he decided to take a charter boat cruise of the west coast of Fiji; a decision that has resulted in the unimaginable.

Mr Abourizk was arrested after allegedly being caught with almost 50 kilograms of cocaine packed into two suitcases at Vuda Marina.

Mr Abourizk’s solicitor, Warwick Korn, of Korn MacDougall Legal in Australia, argued that his client was exploited by the boat’s captain and had no idea that the suitcases contained drugs.

The prosecution is claiming that the Austrlain was paid money by the captain to move the drugs.

Now, Mr Abourizk has spent the last nine months in jail and missed the birth of his first child – a daughter named Penelope.

A verdict is expected to be handed down this week, and if found guilty he may not be coming home for a very long time.

Rebecca and Chris Judd are expecting twins!

The TV personality and and the former AFL star are turning their family from four, to six!
Rebecca and Chris Judd

Congratulations are in order for the Aussie couple, who announced they are expecting twins.

The mother-of-two confirmed the happy news with an Instagram post, that showed off her burgeoning baby bump.

“OMGEEEEEE- freakin TWINS are on the way,” she captioned the sweet snap of her cradling her growing tummy alongside her four-year-old son, Oscar, who donned an excited smile.

“I get heart palpitations and sweats telling people as I’m still in shock but also giddy with excitement.”

From a family of four, to six!

The couple, who are already parents to Oscar and Billie, two, shared their equal shock and excitement in an interview with Melbourne’s Herald Sun.

“We can’t quite believe it,” the 33-year-old blogger and beauty entrepreneur said.

“We were weighing up whether to go for a third. We thought we would give it a try, and the first go we ended up having twins, which was so unexpected.”

Watch how Rebecca juggles modelling and motherhood in the video player below! Post continues after video…

The brunette beauty revealed that her initial eight week scan detected only one baby, and that it wasn’t until the routine twelve week check-up that she discovered her and her 32-year-old hubby were expecting twins.

“I could see one baby, and then I could see a blob. And my words to my obstetrician were, ‘What’s that blob?’

“There was a little bit of silence, and then he said, ‘That’s another kid.’

“I screamed. I got the shakes and I almost fainted.”

Their happy family will grow from four to six when the babies are expected to arrive in October.

One of the twins is expected to be a boy, but the gender of the second twin is yet to be determined.

Will the new twins love footy as much as Oscar and Billie? Only time will tell!

On their impending new arrivals, Rebecca and Chris – who married in 2010 – acknowledge that their parenting will no doubt be stepped up a notch or five.

“We are really going to have to re-evaluate everything now: work, life, cars, house — everything. I think I might need a minivan,” she said.

“It will be loud, and it will be crazy.”

Congratulations on your amazing news, Rebecca and Chris! We can’t wait to meet your little ones.

Too cute! Rebecca pictured with daughter Billie wearing matching coats.

Queen Elizabeth: 90 glorious years in pictures

Happy birthday, Your Majesty!

Queen Elizabeth has been many things in the course of her long life: a lady, a girl guide, a Princess, a mechanic in the army, a mother, a Queen, a grandmother, a great-grandmother. And, as of September 10th last year, she adopted yet another title as the longest ever serving monarch in England’s history. Now – she’s turning 90.

Elizabeth, who has weathered the storms of politicians, scandals, wars and deaths, is revered as one of the most formidable Queens to have taken the Throne.

Born as a daughter of a man who was never meant to rule, the young Lady went from being a girl guide in her London terrace to ascending her father’s throne as Queen Regnant.

Her love story with Prince Philip of Denmark and Greece was regarded as great romance, as was their happy marriage and the births of their four children, Prince Charles, Princess Anne, Prince Andrew, and Prince Edward.

As she succeeds her ancestor, Queen Victoria, as the longest-serving English monarch in history, we look back at the incredible life and times of one of the greatest women this age has seen: Her Majesty, Elizabeth II, Queen of England.

Elizabeth was born the first child of her parents, Queen Elizabeth and King George VI.

She was raised in London, with her sister Margaret, and was educated privately.

For the first time in history, a Princess was allowed to serve as a Girl Guide.

The Princess Elizabeth was also a member of the British Armed Forces. She is seen here leading the troops in a ceremony.

Princess Elizabeth was educated in arts, literature, and music by her governess, Marion Crawfield, or “Crawfie”.

After a string of love letters sent back and forth (which is how Prince Philip is rumoured to have won her heart), Elizabeth and her military sweetheart, Prince Philip of Denmark and Greece, became engaged.

Elizabeth and Philip were married on 20 November 1947 at Westminster Abbey. Their wedding took place at the end of the second world war and Elizabeth required ration coupons to buy the material of her dress.

The Queen’s Wedding

Princess Elizabeth gave birth to their first child in 1948, a boy she named Prince Charles.

Soon three other children followed, Princess Anne, Prince Andrew and Prince Edward.

Elizabeth’s father, George VI, died in 1952 and Elizabeth was crowned Queen a month later.
