<br />
According to Page Six, the Met Gala event that marks the opening of the Costume Institute`s annual fashion exhibit in the US will be returning on September 13 this year.

<br />
Vogue`s `Oscars of Fashion` originally takes place on the first Monday of May that is May 3, according to the calendar, but keeping an eye on the infectious disease the date has been set for five months later that is September 13, in hopes that life will have returned to something closer to normal by then.<br />
<br />
A source told Page Six that it won`t be on the first Monday of the month because that date is already occupied by Labor Day."Even Anna Wintour can`t change a federal holiday," said the insider.<br />
<br />
According to the sources, the magazine has also approached Council of Fashion Designers of America (CFDA) chairman Tom Ford to act as host along with Amanda. Amanda, the 23-year old breakout star of President Biden`s inauguration, is on the cover of the magazine`s May issue and the subject of a relentlessly glowing profile inside.<br />
<br />
Given her show-stopping performance at the inauguration, the theme fittingly will be a celebration of America and American designers, as per Page Six. However, the format for this year`s event has been still kept under wraps.<br />

<p>'Ready Player One'&nbsp;star Tye Sheridan sets off into outer space to save humankind in 'Voyagers', a science-fiction thriller that opens in U.S. cinemas on Friday, and which he believes may strike a particular chord with a pandemic-weary public.<br />
<br />
The movie is set in 2063. Earth has become hot, dry and disease-stricken but scientists have discovered a new planet that can support human life.<br />
Salvation is an 86-year journey away, and 30 babies are bred for the trip, during which they are expected to reproduce in order for their grandchildren to populate their destination.<br />
<br />
Overseen by an ageing guardian played by Colin Farrell, the voyage takes an unexpected turn when, as they grow older, the youngsters discover they are being drugged into an obedient existence and begin to rebel.</p>

<p>British actor Naomi Watts is set to play the lead in Amazon`s remake of cult hit Austrian psychological thriller `Goodnight Mommy`.According to Variety, the online streamer giant will create the remake with indie prestige label Animal Kingdom and production company Playtime.<br />
<br />
The original film, which was released in 2014, became a cult classic and was selected as the Austrian entry for the best foreign-language film at the Academy Awards.`Goodnight Mommy` is based on a tale of twin brothers who, when sent to stay with their mother, are surprised to find her swathed in bandages from a recent procedure.<br />
<br />
As her behaviour grows increasingly erratic and unusual, the twins become convinced she is an imposter. Their suspicion sets off a roller-coaster of emotional mind games and misunderstandings between mother and her children, that eventually explodes with irreparable and heartbreaking consequences.<br />
<br />
Matt Sobel who is known for his works in `Take Me To The River` is directing the flick from a script by Kyle Warren. David Kaplan, Joshua Astrachan, Valery Guibal and Nicolas Brigaud-Robert are producing. Watts will executively produce the film with the original film`s directors Severin Fiala and Veronika Franz.<br />
<br />
Playtime acquired the remake rights and developed the new film with Playtime. Amazon is financing and releasing worldwide.In an interview with Variety, Sobel told, "My favourite films are those that invite the audience to step inside their protagonist`s journey. In our re-imagining of Goodnight Mommy, fear of abandonment -- and the dreadful realisation that those close to us may not be who they seem -- create an immersive nightmare, with visceral sensations front and centre.<br />
<br />
I can`t wait to create this heart-stopping story with Amazon and the peerless Naomi Watts."The `King Kong` star, who is a two-time Academy Award nominee, can currently be seen in the TIFF-selected family drama titled `Penguin Bloom`, the Netflix original based on the true story and best-selling book about a mom coping with the aftermath of a harrowing accident.<br />

Naomi Watts to play lead in Amazon's 'Goodnight Mommy'

<p>DC Films producer and chairman Geoff Johns denied the allegation that he prevented actor Rege-Jean Page from being cast in a role because he is Black.<br />
<br />
In a new report published by The Hollywood Reporter, multiple sources alleged that DC Comics chairman Geoff Johns prevented Syfy`s Krypton producers from hiring Page because he is Black, but Johns said that this is not the case.<br />
<br />
The report detailed how `Justice League` director Joss Whedon was allegedly "abusive" towards the cast, and how those in positions of leadership, including Johns, allegedly enabled this behaviour. Whedon has never publicly addressed the allegations, which were first brought forward by `Justice League` actor Ray Fisher.</p>

<br />
Johns` rep denied the allegations in a statement to E! News, sharing, "Geoff never said Superman can`t have a Black ancestor or be Black--there have been diverse versions of Superman throughout the comics for decades so he does and can be diverse."<br />
<br />
"However, the expectation for KRYPTON was that it would initially be perceived as a possible prequel to Man of Steel by the fans," he continued, "and the lead was expected to invoke a young Henry Cavill."<br />
<br />
Additionally, Krypton writer Nadria Tucker, who is a Black woman, tweeted on February 24 that Johns tried to tell her "what is and is not a Black thing." She told The Hollywood Reporter, "I said Black women, we tend to change our hair frequently. It`s not weird, it`s a Black thing... And he said, `No, it`s not.` "According to The Hollywood Reporter, multiple sources additionally alleged that Johns prevented show creators from making "one superhero character, Adam Strange, gay or bisexual."Johns` rep told The Hollywood Reporter in an email that his comments to Tucker, as well as the casting decisions regarding Krypton and Adam Strange, were part of "standard continuity notes''.</p>

<p>In a separate statement to E! News, Johns` rep described the allegations as "categorically false and horrific." The statement said, "Geoff celebrates and supports LGTBQ characters, including BATWOMAN who was first re-introduced as LGBTQ in the 52 comic book series in 2006, a series were co-written by Geoff, and then pitched internally to the Studio by Geoff as a character to develop a television show around, the first LGBTQ lead DC superhero television series."</p>

<p>WarnerMedia conducted an investigation into allegations Fisher previously made in the summer of 2020, interviewing individuals who worked with Johns and Whedon.<br />
<br />
The investigator and former federal judge Katherine B. Forrest said in a statement to E! News that she and her staff conducted "more than 80 interviews, the review of thousands of pages of documents, and over 2000 hours of work by me and my colleagues."<br />
<br />
"I and my staff reached out twice to every member of the cast and crew involved in the Justice League reshoots (more than 600 people), as well all of the individuals Ray Fisher specifically requested we interview.

Mr. Fisher asked us to speak with," Forrest continued."I found no credible support for claims of racial animus or racial or disability insensitivity," Forrest added.WarnerMedia previously told E!

At the time, Fisher tweeted that there were "still conversations that need to be had and resolutions that need to be found," but thanked his followers for their support.</p>

Regé-Jean Page won't be a part of 'Bridgerton' Season 2 In a separate statement to E! News, Johns` rep described the allegations as "categorically false and horrific." The statement said, "Geoff celebrates and supports LGTBQ characters, including BATWOMAN who was first re-introduced as LGBTQ in the 52 comic book series in 2006, a series were co-written by Geoff, and then pitched internally to the Studio by Geoff as a character to develop a television show around, the first LGBTQ lead DC superhero television series." WarnerMedia conducted an investigation into allegations Fisher previously made in the summer of 2020, interviewing individuals who worked with Johns and Whedon. The investigator and former federal judge Katherine B. Forrest said in a statement to E! News that she and her staff conducted "more than 80 interviews, the review of thousands of pages of documents, and over 2000 hours of work by me and my colleagues." "I and my staff reached out twice to every member of the cast and crew involved in the Justice League reshoots (more than 600 people), as well all of the individuals Ray Fisher specifically requested we interview. We spoke with every individual who would speak with us and all of the people that Mr. Fisher asked us to speak with," Forrest continued."I found no credible support for claims of racial animus or racial or disability insensitivity," Forrest added.WarnerMedia previously told E! News they took "remedial action" following the conclusion of their investigation into Fisher`s claims last summer, but did not elaborate on their statement citing privacy and legal reasons. At the time, Fisher tweeted that there were "still conversations that need to be had and resolutions that need to be found," but thanked his followers for their support.

<p>A beauty queen from Papua New Guinea has been stripped of her crown over a TikTok video.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Miss Papua New Guinea Lucy Maino, 25, was seen twerking in the video. She had shared the video on her private account but it was reportedly downloaded from there and shared on social &nbsp;media platforms anonymously.&nbsp;</p>

<p>This sparked outrage in the country towards Maino. Thousands called the dance “inappropriate” and added that it did not fit the role of a model. Following the major backlash to the&nbsp;video, Miss Pacific Islands Pageant PNG (MPIP PNG) committee decided to “release” Ms Maino, the 2019 winner of Miss Papua New Guinea, from her duties.&nbsp;</p>

<p>In a statement, the MPIP PNG said, "After discussions with Miss Maino last week, MPIP PNG now formally advises that the reign of the 2019 crowned Miss Papua New Guinea had come to an end and Miss Maino has been released with immediate effect.”</p>

<p>"The MPIP PNG is focused on developing young women holistically, ensuring that they grow in terms of academia, social consciousness, personal development, and exposure to a bigger brighter world with awareness of issues facing PNG and the region," the statement continued.</p>

<p>Post the decision to strip, there has been another case of backlash but this time in favour of Lucy Maino. The United Nations in Papua New Guinea called it an instance of giving in to cyber bullying in a Facebook post.</p>

<p>Jodie Turner-Smith will not be part of Netflix’s 'Witcher' prequel series, 'The Witcher: Blood Origin'. The show will expand the universe of the original series, headlined by Henry Cavill.<br />
<br />
Smith, who was to play a lead, Éile, in the prequel series is leaving the show due to a scheduling conflict. “Due to a change in the production schedule for The Witcher: Blood Origin limited series, unfortunately, Jodie Turner-Smith will no longer be able to continue on in the role of Éile,” a Netflix spokesperson said.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Her character which will recast now described as an elite warrior blessed with the voice of a goddess, who has left her clan and position as Queen’s guardian to follow her heart as a nomadic musician. A grand reckoning on the continent forces her to return to the way of the blade in her quest for vengeance and redemption.<br />
<br />
Recently, 'Vikings'&nbsp;star Laurence O'Fuarain cast in the show for the role Fjall and Declan de Barra will serve as the showrunner and executive producer.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
The upcoming series will take place 1,200 years before the events of 'The Witcher' and will tell the backstory and the creation of the very first Witcher and the events that lead to the pivotal “conjunction of the spheres,” when the worlds of monsters, men and elves merged into one.<br />
<br />
For the unversed 'The Witcher' season, 2 wrapped filming after few delays due to the pandemic. As of now, no premiere date for 'The Witcher' Season 2 or 'The Witcher: Blood Origin' has been set.<br />

The Weeknd donates $1 million to Ethiopian relief efforts

<p>"Godzilla vs. Kong" muscled its way to a pandemic-era box office record, giving Hollywood studios and theatre owners alike hope that people are ready to return to the movies after a year of watching Netflix at home.<br />
<br />
The tentpole, from Warner Bros. and Legendary Entertainment, generated $32 million over the weekend and $48.5 million in its first five days of release. That`s easily the biggest debut since coronavirus hit. Prior to this weekend, "Wonder Woman 1984" had the biggest three-day start with $16.7 million, followed by "Tom and Jerry" with $14 million.<br />
<br />
The results for "Godzilla vs. Kong" are especially impressive because the film is also available to HBO Max subscribers for no extra fee. It`s unclear how many people have streamed the movie.<br />
<br />
David A. Gross, who runs the movie consulting firm Franchise Entertainment Research, called opening weekend ticket sales "strong" given the "still-difficult conditions." More than 50% of movie theaters in the country have reopened, but many -- including those in New York City and Los Angeles -- have been operating at reduced capacity to comply with pandemic safety protocols.<br />
<br />
"While it`s half of what it would be under normal circumstances, the weekend is a clear and positive indication that moviegoing has inherent strengths that aren`t going away," he said.<br />

Though ticket sales for "Godzilla vs. Kong" are certainly encouraging, the U.S. box office has yet to fully recover from the yearlong shutdown.<br />
"Godzilla vs. Kong" wasn`t this weekend`s only new release. Sony Pictures` horror film "The Unholy" pulled in $3.2 million from 1,850 locations, a modest start for the low-budget movie. It narrowly beat out Universal`s action thriller "Nobody" for third place on box office charts. "Nobody," starring Bob Odenkirk as a mild-mannered father-turned-vigilante, earned $3 million in its second weekend, boosting its domestic tally to $11.8 million.<br />

In fourth, Disney`s animated adventure "Raya and the Last Dragon" made $2 million from 2,031 locations. The film, which is also playing on Disney Plus for a premium $30 fee, has grossed $32 million at the domestic box office.<br />
<br />
'Tom and Jerry'&nbsp;rounded out the top five, amassing $1.5 million in its sixth weekend in theaters. To date, the movie has made $39.5 million in the U.S. It`s also available on HBO Max.<br />

"Godzilla vs. Kong" muscled its way to a pandemic-era box office record, giving Hollywood studios and theatre owners alike hope that people are ready to return to the movies after a year of watching Netflix at home.

"Godzilla vs. Kong" muscled its way to a pandemic-era box office record, giving Hollywood studios and theatre owners alike hope that people are ready to return to the movies after a year of watching Netflix at home. The tentpole, from Warner Bros. and Legendary Entertainment, generated $32 million over the weekend and $48.5 million in its first five days of release. That`s easily the biggest debut since coronavirus hit. Prior to this weekend, "Wonder Woman 1984" had the biggest three-day start with $16.7 million, followed by "Tom and Jerry" with $14 million. The results for "Godzilla vs. Kong" are especially impressive because the film is also available to HBO Max subscribers for no extra fee. It`s unclear how many people have streamed the movie. David A. Gross, who runs the movie consulting firm Franchise Entertainment Research, called opening weekend ticket sales "strong" given the "still-difficult conditions." More than 50% of movie theaters in the country have reopened, but many -- including those in New York City and Los Angeles -- have been operating at reduced capacity to comply with pandemic safety protocols. "While it`s half of what it would be under normal circumstances, the weekend is a clear and positive indication that moviegoing has inherent strengths that aren`t going away," he said. Though ticket sales for "Godzilla vs. Kong" are certainly encouraging, the U.S. box office has yet to fully recover from the yearlong shutdown.

Halle Berry is giving her fans a glimpse of her personal and her most loved moment. The Oscar-winning actress shared a rare photo of her two kids on her Instagram account, ''The moments that matter most…''. The photo shows Halle with her daughter Nahla and her son Maceo sitting on a beach enjoying the ocean view. The photo is also taken from the back so their faces are also not visible. The star, who is very private about her personal life very often shares her lifestyle and her children on her social media platforms but doesn't often show their faces. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Halle Berry (@halleberry) × The star shares her teenage daughter, Nahla, with her ex-boyfriend, Gabriel Aubrey, and her son, with her former husband, actor Olivier Martinez. Last month, she shared the throwback picture on Nahla's 13th birthday, marking the milestone she wrote, "No matter how many times I tell her I love her, I love her more than that," she wrote in the caption. "Happy 13th Birthday Nahla Boo 💜" View this post on Instagram A post shared by Halle Berry (@halleberry) × The actress talked about her kids in an interview and said, "Being a mom is the best job, but my kids don't care about who I am outside of this house," she told InStyle in 2019.

After a year of nesting in pastel-coloured loungewear, shoppers are opting for styles with floral prints, feel-good slogans and statement jewellery to jazz up working-from-home outfits as optimism makes a comeback in spring collections, designers and retailers told Reuters.</p>

<p>While neutral, comfortable clothing remains more popular than in a normal spring, retailers from Neiman Marcus to Walmart and Macy’s Inc reported growing sales of bright, optimistic colour, flowy fabrics or dresses for the first time since the start of the pandemic as shoppers prepared for a return to normal life.</p>

<p>“We’re seeing a return to occasion dresses and even bras with wires,” Marie Ivanoff-Smith, fashion director at department store Nordstrom, told Reuters. “As it gets warmer and more people to go outside, we thought people would really want to showcase optimism and joy with prints and vibrant colours.”<br />
<br />
So far, ditzy floral prints are up 31% in Europe and 16% in the United States from last year, according to Heuritech, a data firm analyzing millions of pictures a day on social media and catwalks.<br />
<br />
Colours seen in catwalks for spring and summer 2021 collections were vibrant pinks and bold blues – “an energizing source of inspiration to help carry us through,” the company said in a February report. While vibrant colours and floral motifs are typical of spring styles, the difference this year is that fashion lines also include nude t-shirts and what Walmart’s head of fashion editorial, Alison Hilzer, called “slouchy cardigans.”</p>

<p>British online fashion retailer ASOS said in an email that it noticed in recent weeks its customers were “into feel-good slogans, brighter colours and floral accessories as the weather has started to improve and they start to get ready for the summer ahead.”</p>

<p>“While neutral tones are still prevalent, we’re excited to inject some much-needed optimism into our wardrobes with bright accents. We’re loving yellows and greens for (spring),” an ASOS spokesperson told Reuters in an email.<br />
<br />
“Bold colours, draping, and light fabrics created a perfect complement to spring with collections from Dior, Loewe, and Dries van Noten,” said Lana Todorovich, president and chief merchandising officer at luxury retailer Neiman Marcus.</p>

<p>“It’s clear that the trend is also about coming out of this, although it’s still a lot about comfortable garments,” H&amp;M CEO Helena Helmersson told Reuters on Wednesday after the Swedish retailer reported earnings.</p>

<p>A ‘NERVE-RACKING’ PLANNING PROCESS</p>

<p>Still, planning has never been harder than this year, as designers used to finishing designs months and sometimes years ahead were forced to adjust collections and marketing in line with the fluctuating circumstances of the coronavirus pandemic.</p>

<p>In general, fashion trend forecasting will look two years out, according to consumer product director at fashion trend analysis company Stylus, Emily Gordon-Smith. But amid the uncertainty of the pandemic, the company advised its clients to play it safe with “seasonless” clothing.</p>

<p>“We tend to plan six months ahead, which is nerve-racking when you think about it,” Nordstrom’s Ivanoff-Smith said.<br />
“How are you feeling in New York? L.A.? Seattle? We realized we needed to cater to all the scenarios,” Ivanoff-Smith said. The Seattle-based department store “eased into the spring season” by starting with casual clothes and then moving into special fashions like jewellery and colourful dresses.</p>

<p>Still, convincing consumers spoiled by comfy clothing seven days a week to go back to heels and suits may not be easy, Gordon-Smith said.</p>

<p>“Once consumers are embedded in a comfort-based wardrobe, it’s a very tough mindset to shift,” Gordon-Smith said. “It’ll be underpinned by a desire to dress up again, but by our predictions, that’s not going to happen on a large-scale until 2022.”</p>

<p>‘GET OUT OF SWEATSUITS’</p>

<p>But as the return of spring and progressing vaccination campaigns brought some cheer, Neiman Marcus, Walmart and Macy’s said they have already begun to see people starting to tire of cosy and comfy clothes.</p>

<p>“We’ve begun to see many of our iconic designers show looks and pieces that reflect a return to customers attending special occasions,” said Neiman Marcus’ Todorovich. Brands like The Row, Brunello Cucinelli and Victoria Beckham have embraced “optic whites that symbolize a sense of refresh, rebirth, and a natural reset,” she added.<br />
<br />
“The customer mentality is wanting to get out of sweatsuits and sweatshirt pyjamas and put on something that makes them feel pretty and excited to go out,” Walmart’s Hilzer said.</p>

<p>At Macy’s, Durand Guion, vice president of the department store’s fashion office, said he is even starting to see a return to formal clothes and wedding gowns as states open up.</p>

<p>“Weddings can happen again, gatherings can happen again,” he said. “I think a lot of that momentum will just sort of continuing as vaccinations take place.”</p>

Armie Hammer leaves Broadway play ‘The Minutes’ amid sexual assault allegations

<p>Paul Simon has sold his entire song catalogue to Sony Music Publishing, joining a string of older musicians cashing in on their life`s work.<br />
<br />
Sony Music Publishing said on Wednesday the deal includes classic songs ranging from "Bridge Over Troubled Water," to "Still Crazy After All These Years" that Simon wrote and recorded over his six-decade career.<br />
<br />
The value of the deal was not disclosed. Simon, 79, a 16-time Grammy winner who in 2018 announced he was retiring from touring, said in a statement he was "pleased to have Sony Music Publishing be the custodian of my songs for the coming decades."<br />
<br />
The sale is the latest in a string of catalogue deals that includes the music of Bob Dylan, Stevie Nicks, Neil Young and Carole Bayer Sager in the past year. Dylan sold his back catalogue of more than 600 songs in December to Universal Music Group and the purchase price was widely reported as $300 million. Other songs have been snapped up by London-based Hipgnosis, which has attributed the deals to a surge in music streaming especially during the coronavirus pandemic when concerts and music festivals have been cancelled.<br />
<br />
Companies can reap royalties from licensing the songs they have acquired for use in movies, commercials and branding deals.<br />
<br />
Simon launched his career in the late 1950S as a folk singer along with his childhood friend Art Garfunkel. The duo turned out a string of 1960s hits including "Mrs Robinson" "The Sound of Silence," and "The Boxer" before splitting up. Simon embarked on a solo career that produced hit albums and songs including "50 Ways to Leave Your Lover" and "Graceland."<br />
<br />
"From Simon and Garfunkel standards like ‘Bridge Over Troubled Water’ to solo classics such as ‘Graceland,’ Paul Simon’s music resonates deeply as a cultural touchstone for people all over the world," John Platt, chairman of Sony Music Publishing, said in a statement.</p>

<p>Jazz musician Harry Connick Jr. is showcasing a spiritual side with his new album, 'Alone With My Faith'.<br />
<br />
Connick Jr. created the album in his home studio during the pandemic, playing all the instruments, recording all background vocals and doing the engineering. The singer said the process acted as therapy during uncertain times.<br />
<br />
"This was a case where the music itself was actually helping me get through this time, and that`s really rare," he said.<br />
<br />
The New Orleans native described the 13-track project as a mix of Christian and faith-based songs intended for those who need help accessing their faith to get them through the last year.<br />
<br />
Connick said the album, released earlier this month, is an honest look at how most people navigated life during quarantine.<br />
"This is a really truthful look at what I, and I think a lot of other people who might listen to it, are going through and just, just went through," he said.</p>

But television audiences have slumped, with the Golden Globes and the Grammys attracting the smallest numbers in decades.

'No Zoom' Oscars causes backlash, Hollywood media reports

<p id="content_head" itemprop="name">The 2021 edition of the Producer's Guild of America (PGA) Awards honoured the late Indian star Irrfan Khan during its "In Memoriam" segment but got his name wrong. The awards, considered as an Oscar bellwether, were held virtually on Wednesday.<br />
<br />
Khan was among the 21 cine personalities who were remembered during the ceremony's "In Memoriam" segment.<br />
<br />
However, the pre-taped production of the awards committed a gaffe with the actor's name as it read 'Irrif Kahn' instead of Irrfan Khan, reported Variety.<br />
Another typo was spotted when the name of "Minari" star Steven Yeun, who was one of the presenters at the event, was misspelled as 'Steven Yuen'.<br />
Khan, who straddled both Indian and international cinema with equal elan, died in April 2020 at the age of 54 following a two-year-long battle with a rare form of cancer.<br />
<br />
In Hollywood, he featured in blockbusters such as 'Inferno', 'A Mighty Heart', 'Life of Pi', 'Amazing Spider-Man'&nbsp;and 'Jurassic World'.<br />
<br />
The 'In Memoriam' segment of PGA Awards also paid tributes to Hollywood great Kirk Douglas, who died at the age of 103 in February 2020, and 'Black Panther'&nbsp;star Chadwick Boseman, who passed away in August at 43 after a private four-year-long battle with cancer.<br />
<br />
Other prominent names in the segment included Harry Bring, Sue Bruce-Smith, Allan Burns, Kevin Burns, Stuart Cornfeld, Charles Gordon, Buck Henry, Thomas L Miller, Tom Pollock, Rebecca Ramsey, Carl Reiner, Gene Reynolds, Pamela Ross, Ronald Schwary, Lynn Shelton, Fred Silverman and Jamie Tarses.</p>

America's Producer's Guild Award honours Irrfan Khan but misspells his name

<p>There are a lot of things happening in the Kardashian-Jenner family, from marriages to divorce and new kids. Now, Kris Jenner has spilled some beans about her daughters Khloe and Kim Kardashian.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
While Kim is in between a&nbsp;divorce from rapper Kanye West,&nbsp;Khloe has sparked off engagement rumours after her recent Instagram picture.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The 65-year-old reality star appeared for a virtual interview at Ellen DeGeneres&nbsp;talk show. During, the show Ellen asked&nbsp;Kris,&nbsp;“What is the ring on Khloe’s finger? It’s a giant ring. What’s happening?”<br />
<br />
To which she replied, ''That’s a good ring. I think she just loves jewellery. She loves a good ring. You should ask Khloe that!''.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Earlier this month, Khloe revealed that she is planning to expand her family with her on/off boyfriend Tristan Thompson. Kris reacted to the news and said, ''I mean, I think it’s so great that they want to do that again and have a sibling for True, because there’s nothing better than a big family and brothers and sisters, and that’s just my heart,''&nbsp;</p>

<p>''So, I'm really happy. I just want them to be happy. And True will be so excited,'' Kris added to which Ellen quipped, "And will the other kid be named False?”&nbsp;''That’s a good one!” Jenner laughed.</p>
