The executor of OJ’s estate, Malcolm LaVergne, said the Bible – which was gifted to OJ Simpson – also included a handwritten note from Kim’s father dated June 18, 1994

Kim Kardashian was reportedly blocked from buying a Bible Robert Kardashian Sr gifted OJ Simpson, which included a note from her dad. The Bible, which was given to the late football player the day after he was arrested for murder, has now been sold at an auction for $80,000 (£62,000).

The executor of OJ’s estate, Malcolm LaVergne, said the Bible also included a handwritten note from Kim’s father dated June 18, 1994. “OJ, this book will help. God loves and he will speak to you with his words. Read this book every day. God has a definite plan for your life. You are his child and he will use you again. I love you and God loves you”, the note read.

According to RadarOnline, Kim wanted to buy the book but it was denied by the late football star’s estate. The Mirror have reached out to Kim’s representatives for comment.

Robert died in September 2003, just two months after being diagnosed with oesophageal cancer. The lawyer rose to prominence through his involvement in the OJ Simpson murder trial.

The lawyer was diagnosed with oesophageal cancer in July 2003. The sad news came as a shock to his loved ones as he didn’t smoke or drink. There was also no history of cancer in his family.

Kim had been very close to her dad and recently revealed how she learned his cancer was terminal. Robert had been dining out with his family at their favourite Armenian restaurant when he struggled to swallow his food and seemed unwell.

When they went to the hospital, the doctor revealed to Kim and her sister Kourtney Kardashian that their dad’s cancer was terminal.

Robert didn’t want to tell his parents about his diagnosis, but Kim thought it was important for them to know. “I called them, and they were, like, ‘ What? What are you talking about? We’ll be there in a few hours”, Kim recalled in an interview with GQ magazine.

“They came up from Palm Springs, and]their son] was in bed. Can you imagine? They were close, and to not tell them. My grandmother was never the same again”.

Khloe Kardashian previously talked about her father’s in her memoir Strong Looks Better Naked. She said: “At the funeral, when I saw my father in his casket, I completely fell apart.

” I don’t remember the details, but apparently I was an emotional wreck, and I’m told that I was so distraught I actually passed out. At one point I fell to the floor kicking and screaming, and I had to be sedated.

“It was really intense. I refused to believe my father was gone”.

Molly-Mae Hague has thrilled fans by announcing the release date for the next instalment of her hit reality series, Molly-Mae: Behind It All. The influencer and former Love Island star shared the exciting news on Instagram, confirming that the highly anticipated second drop of episodes will be available on Prime Video UK starting May 9th.

In a heartfelt post to her 7.5 million followers, Molly-Mae posted a behind-the-scenes snapshot from filming, captioning it: “Season 1 WRAPPED!!! See you on May 9th for our next three episodes of Molly-Mae: Behind it all. @primevideouk”.

The announcement comes at a particularly eventful time for the 24-year-old, as fans have been buzzing about her recent reunion with fiancé Tommy Fury. The couple, who first met on Love Island in 2019, sparked speculation after rumours swirled about a rough patch in their relationship. However, in recent days, the duo has been seen together, putting on a united front and reassuring their followers that all is well.

Tommy, a professional boxer, and Molly-Mae, a successful entrepreneur, have both been navigating their demanding careers while balancing parenthood. The couple welcomed their daughter, Bambi, in January 2023, and much of Molly-Mae: Behind It All offers fans an intimate look into the business woman’s life as she juggles work, love, and family.

The first set of episodes gave an unprecedented glimpse into Molly-Mae’s life beyond social media, covering everything from the highs of her business ventures to the challenges of motherhood and the emotional strains that come with fame. Fans praised the authenticity and rawness of the series, with many eager to see what’s next in the upcoming episodes.

With May 9th now marked on calendars, anticipation is at an all-time high. Will the new episodes address the recent headlines surrounding her relationship? Will viewers get an inside look at how she and Tommy have managed to overcome challenges?

Just this past weekend, Molly and Tommy enjoyed a cosy Mother’s Day together with their daughter. In exclusive pictures, the couple were seen arriving separately at a Cheshire pub to mark the occasion. The Love Island couple announced their shock split last year, with fans stunned by the announcement they had gone their separate ways. Following the news, Molly-Mae’s documentary aired, where she admitted it was hard going through a split in the public eye.

In a separate interview, Tommy also shared his thoughts on the split and explained what happened between them to end their romance. However, later, the pair were seen on holiday in Dubai together.

They avoided being photographed together until they made their return to Manchester. However, the couple seem happier than ever and in new photos, the pair arrived and left separately at the pub in their matching cars. The couple had spent the day together with Bambi at the Lowry Theatre before making their way to the pub.

Just last week, Molly-Mae finally addressed speculation she had reunited with Tommy. In a video shared online with her fans, she said: “We’re just figuring things out. We had a really really amazing time, probably the best holiday ever for all of us. It’s not I’m hiding it, I’m not quite ready to talk about it. It’s also as private, but also it’s not really private.

” When you have a relationship in the public eye, trying to rebuild that relationship or work on that relationship or see if you have something worth saving… You can’t figure things out the way a normal relationship would. You can’t do the normal things a couple trying to work on their relationship normally do. “

Speaking to Bambi, she added:” We’re just figuring things out and seeing how it goes. “She also admitted she was struggling with anxiety and pulled a clip of her talking about Tommy from her past vlog.

” I don’t want you guys to think I’m not being honest about who went on the holiday to Dubai. I did do a big talking section that we were going with Tommy, but I didn’t want to put it in the last vlog because I didn’t want anxiety, “she said”, The only reason I’ve not spoken about it is I’m not ready to. I was a bit nervous and I didn’t need to explain that I was going with Tommy. “

Jamie Oliver, famed for his quick and easy recipes for all the family, met wife Jools when he was just a teenager and has spoken candidly about the ups and downs of marriage

Celebrity chef Jamie Oliver has been loved up with wife Jools for more than thirty years, but it hasn’t always been plain sailing for the teenage sweethearts. On camera, Jamie is known as one of the nation’s most well-loved celebrity chefs.

He is famed for his quick and easy 15-minute meals, and now has a TV series dedicated to air fryer recipes, with Jamie’s Air Fryer Meals on Channel 4. Since rising to stardom almost 25 years ago with The Naked Chef series, he has been on a mission to educate parents and their children about how to eat more healthily.

But away from the screens, the 49-year-old is a proud family man and devoted husband. He and wife Jools share a brood of five, each with unusual names – Poppy Honey Rosie, Daisy Boo Pamela, Petal Blossom Rainbow, Buddy Bear Maurice, and River Rocket Blue Dallas.

The family-of-seven moved into a £6m 16th-century mansion in Essex in 2019, which boasts a 70-acre estate with a pool, tennis court, and its own allotment. The TV chef has often been open about his long marriage to his beloved Juliette Norton, known as Jools, laying bare, with brutal honesty, the ups and downs which left them in a ‘ rut’.

The couple tied the knot in 2000 after first meeting as teenagers when they were just 17 and 18. Despite Jools moving away to live in Tokyo for three months, he was undeterred by the long distance and sent her romantic love letters in a bid to win over his future wife. ”When I was 17 I worked in Tokyo for three months and every single day Jamie sent me a letter or a fax without fail!” Jools shared to her Instagram account.

When she returned they became inseparable, renting a tiny flat in Hammersmith while Jamie worked in the kitchen at the famous River Cafe. But after two decades of marriage and five children later, it is no surprise that there have been a few lessons learned along the way. In 2021, Jamie revealed to the Australian Women’s Weekly: ‘ ‘ I think you learn to love in lots of different ways.

‘ ‘ You learn to love the person you married but also, it’s exciting because the rollercoaster of growing, becoming parents, getting older, having grey hairs and wrinkles, you can love all those bits. You don’t just love one bit. I feel very lucky. I started dating Jools when I was 18. She’s been a really solid and utterly important part of my life and my job’s quite exciting.

“It expects quite a lot, and she’s my rock. She allows me to do my thing but then comes home and lets me be me… And I think she still quite likes me, which is really nice”. But their journey hasn’t been smooth sailing, with jealousy and speculation about cheating rearing its ugly head more than once.

With stay-at-home mum Jools taking on the bulk of the parenting and spending weeks on end away from her busy husband, Jamie’s extreme work schedule began to cause friction. He had vowed to quit public life within three years back in 2005, but by 2011 he was still just a ‘ weekend dad ‘ and the infamous workaholic admitted their marriage was in a ‘ rut’.

Jamie said in 2011: “I’m not a worrier but she is a worrier. I don’t need that and she doesn’t need that, so we’re in a bit of a rut”. Jools also opened up about tension, admitting: “We bicker all the time. A lot of my friends can’t believe how much. He drives me mad because he never listens to me and I drive him mad because I can be horribly selfish”.

In the same year, Jools admitted that she snooped on him to check he wasn’t having an affair. She explained in The Telegraph: “I’ll check his email. I’ll check his Twitter. I’ll check his phone. Everything seems fine. He says I’m a jealous girl, but I think I’m fairly laidback, considering”.

What she was referring to was his early days in showbiz, when Jamie had admitted to girls throwing themselves at him. He previously said: “It wasn’t just young girls, it was medium and young girls and it was classic slightly rock star-esque: random knickers and bras getting thrown at you”, he told the Telegraph.

And in 2018, Jamie confirmed that his wife suspected he had in fact cheated on her. He told Closer magazine: “My missus accused me of having an affair once, because I kept disappearing and coming back with green on my knees. It was courgette season and I was in the vegetable patch”!

Meanwhile, Jools has previously opened up about the heartbreak of suffering five miscarriages. Two happened before she gave birth to her son River, four, in 2016, and another three came afterwards. Marking Baby Loss Awareness Week in 2020, she paid tribute to, “our own 5 little stars we never got to hold in our arms xxx”

But Jamie and Jools faced the hard times together and renewed their vows earlier this year, in a very different ceremony to when they first got hitched. Ahead of the special day, Jools told Red Magazine: “We’re going to get married again, but do things differently – outside and barefoot. Our wedding was formal, but we’re so not like that. It’ll be a big party. Why the hell not? I think we’ve done well”!

When the time came in April, after 23 years together, Jamie revealed to fans that it took place on the beach in the Maldives. Announcing the happy news, Jamie wrote: ‘ ‘ Yep, after 23 years together, we thought it would be a special moment to celebrate renewing our wedding vows before the kids all start leaving the nest.

‘ ‘ It was really special, funny and romantic with the words in the ceremony making more sense having come this far together. It seems like a blink since the first wedding which we kept very private apart from the paparazzi at the village church we thought it would be a happy and joyful moment to share with you all this Easter. ‘ We’ve always dreamed of going to the Maldives and it was just as you would have dreamed, simply amazing. ‘ ‘

Eamonn Holmes ‘ plans to step into the world of live theatre have been brought to an unexpected halt as the GB News presenter’s tour was suddenly cancelled by organisers

Eamonn Holmes has faced yet another setback as his planned theatre tour has been cancelled due to ‘poor ticket sales’. The 65-year-old GB News presenter was due to make his live stage debut on 11 March, but sluggish demand for tickets reportedly led organisers to pull the plug.

A source told The Sun: “Eamonn was really looking forward to the show. He loves interacting with the public and meeting fans. But ticket sales just weren’t there. It’s been a tough time for him personally and this is another disappointment to deal with.” The Mirror has reached out to Eamonn’s representatives for comment.

Eamonn announced the Things We Like! tour back in December as he took to social media to tell fans: “Coming your way soon and in theatres around the Country. Maybe the perfect last minute Christmas gift!”

Last week, the presenter updated fans about the tour being postponed, saying: “Working with my mates @Coytey67 and Deano on our soon to be released podcast/ videocast Things we Like today. Hoping you like the same things. Will keep you posted re launch date”.

Last year, Eamonn made headlines when he announced his split from fellow presenter Ruth Langsford after 14 years of marriage. Ruth and Eamonn’s marriage reportedly ended after the Loose Women presenter discovered he was ‘sharing intimate chats with another woman’.

A source told The Sun that the Irish presenter ‘thought he was home alone’ when he was on the phone. “But Ruth could hear him from elsewhere in the house and was totally horrified,” they said. “She confronted Eamonn. It was quite a shock — for both of them.”

The insider added it was ‘a huge blow’ for Ruth, who recently celebrated her 65th birthday with her close friends, as she was caring for him as he dealt with health issues.

“To discover he was sharing intimate chats with another woman was a real kick in the teeth for Ruth”, they claimed. The source went on to allege the discovery of the phone call happened in April last year, and a few weeks later, she found messages on his laptop.

Eamonn has since moved on with his new girlfriend Katie Alexander, with the pair showcasing their romance with trips and outings. The former couple had been together since 1996 and married since 2010. While the duo have kept mostly quiet about their split, Ruth previously said dealing with the divorce had been ‘very painful’ for her – especially while handling it in the public eye.

Ruth has now told friends she won’t start dating again until her divorce from Eamonn Holmes is finalised. Our source says that despite 65-year-old Eamonn moving on with Katie Alexander, who is 22 years his junior, Loose Women panellist Ruth is not ready for a new relationship and “just wants out” of her marriage.

“She’s still wearing her wedding ring because she’s coming to terms with a long relationship ending, and realising Eamonn maybe wasn’t the person she thought he was,” our source claimed. “And she’s also coming to terms with life being very, very different for her going forward.

” Ruth has been having fun going out with her girlfriends, and enjoying a little flirt, but that’s it. She really needs the Eamonn chapter to be fully closed before she can move on romantically, she needs her freedom.

“She really isn’t dating, it’s the last thing she wants to do,” our source continued. “She just wants to get the divorce over and done with. Her friends would love to see her happy with someone else, but she needs to get the divorce over with first before she can properly move on.”

EastEnders star Brooke Kinsella’s half-brother Ben was 16 years old when he was stabbed to death in 2008 by three older teenagers, however his art now lives on in a new exhibit

Former EastEnders star Brooke Kinsella and The Ben Kinsella Trust has helped unveil a powerful new artwork by David Beckham’s former personal hairstylist, Aidan Phelan, surrounding knife crime in the UK. Brooke’s half-brother Ben was 16 years old when he was stabbed to death in 2008 by three men.

With the recent release of Netflix’s Adolescence, which explores the rise of misogyny in young boys as a 13-year-old boy named Jamie Miller is accused of murdering his schoolmate, it’s more important than ever to have discussions on youth violence and knife crime in the UK. The new exhibition at Grove Gallery in Fitzrovia, London, incorporates the late Ben Kinsella’s own GCSE artwork, including his Birds of Peace, which was painted a few months before his death.

It also features excerpts from Ben’s letter to then-Prime Minister Gordon Brown, urging action against the rising knife crime epidemic.

Paying tribute to her brother, Brooke also placed her handprint on a secondary piece. The moving artwork will be available to see at the gallery for four weeks. It will then be moved to The Ben Kinsella Trust’s workshops.

Speaking about the exhibition, Ben’s mother, Deborah, said: “Ben’s passion for art started at a very early age—he was always painting or creating something.

” He earned an A in his GCSE Art and dreamed of becoming a Graphic Designer. We have no doubt he would have achieved this.

“Our family is humbled that Aidan and Grove Gallery are using Ben’s bird drawing as a symbol of hope. We hope this piece can inspire others and create a lasting impact for future generations”.

Artist Aidan said: “Having lived in London for over 20 years, I’ve seen a lot. On a personal level, I’ve experienced both incredible highs and deep lows, and this new collection is a reflection on society today.

” Knife crime is an issue that is deeply personal to me, and with all of my projects, giving back is at the heart of what I do. Supporting the incredible work of the Ben Kinsella Trust has been an absolute honour. “

The late Ben was only 16 years old when he was stabbed to death by three older boys on June 29 2008. He was the 17th teenager to be killed in London that year.

He was at a local pub celebrating the end of his GCSEs with his pals but were chased down and killed by three older teenagers.

The boys were seeking revenge after they had an altercation in the club that had taken place earlier that evening.

Ben and his friends had absolutely nothing to do with the altercations, but when the older boys caught up with Ben, in an entirely unprovoked attack, they stabbed him to death.

Louis Theroux is bracing himself to take a major step as he deals with alopecia. The BBC star has been living with the autoimmune condition for years, after revealing that his hair had been falling out back in 2022.

The documentarian shared an update on his alopecia journey on Instagram today, and revealed that he was going to make a major change at some point over the next year. Alongside a recent photo of himself, Louis, 54, wrote: “Latest from Alopecia-land. I’ve cut the hair short because I realised the longer it was the worse it looked. But it’s patchy AF and I’m basically preparing the way for a full head shave some time in the next 12 months”.

Despite having made the big decision to fully shave his head, Louis – who is reportedly set to join up for a new project with Katie Price – pulled out his iconic sense of humour as he said he’d model himself after bald heartstoppers Stanley Tucci or Dwayne Johnson. “Big glasses a la Tucci, big muscles a la Dwayne Johnson, plus a year round tan. That’s the formula”, he wrote.

He also added an old security pass showing him with messy brown locks in his 20s, and joked: “I’ve included a last photo from 1994 that I stumbled on yesterday as a reminder that the hair was always a problem, which I will have to worry about less and less as it disappears. It’s like when your house burns down. ‘ At least I don’t have to hoover! ‘”

This isn’t the first major shave Louis will have undertaken to combat his hair loss, after he shaved his eyebrows off back in December 2023.

After removing the patchy hair, he revealed the following March that he’d had new eyebrows tattooed on, and was over the moon with the result.

“I’m happy to have my old face back. The new brows are neater and more shapely than my” real “ones were. But there are a couple of wisps of my remaining hair in there which help make them look more natural”, he said of the microblading job, which took “two sessions of a couple of hours”.

While Louis is trying to see the bright side of alopecia, he admitted that his main concern is that his wife Nancy Strang might find him unattractive.

Appearing on the This Past Weekend podcast last July, he said: “It’s stressful. I care a bit because I think my wife cares.

” And the last thing I need is to be even less attractive to her. She is too good for me. She’s so much better looking than I am. But I was on TV when I met her, so it was adjusted. It was adjusted for celebrity. “

Louis sadly added:” I used to have a beard, and then I got alopecia. Yeah, my beard fell out. And my hair has gone thin. I have patches in my hair. “

” It’s always there. It’s there when I look in the mirror. And if I touch my hair, I used to feel kind of thick, luscious locks, like gorgeous, just enjoyable. And then little holes appear. “
