Glenn Close Defends Kim Kardashian After ‘All’s Fair’ Criticism
Glenn Close appears to have no interest in letting a little All’s Fair criticism disrupt her cast chemistry with Kim Kardashian. After sharing a glimpse of filming the legal drama’s second season alongside Kardashian, Close responded to a negative comment about her costar—and made it clear that their relationship extends beyond the call sheet.
According to coverage from E! News and Us Weekly, Close defended Kardashian publicly while referring to her as a friend. That detail gives the exchange a little more bite than the usual celebrity “everyone on set gets along” routine. Close is an Oscar-nominated veteran with a résumé built on formidable dramatic performances; Kardashian arrived in the project from reality television, fashion and business. Their pairing was always going to invite commentary, and Close’s willingness to answer it puts a polished Hollywood endorsement behind Kardashian.
The moment also lands at an interesting stage for All’s Fair. Season two is already being discussed through glimpses from production, which means the cast’s off-camera dynamics are becoming part of the show’s promotional story. A supportive comment from Close does not settle the larger conversation about Kardashian’s acting, but it does show that at least one highly respected colleague is comfortable standing beside her in public.
There is a difference between a co-star politely praising a colleague during a press cycle and someone pushing back after a fan takes a swipe. Close’s response, as reported by both outlets, reads more personal than contractual. Kardashian has cultivated a career around controlling the conversation, while Close brings the kind of credibility that makes even a brief defense feel headline-worthy. Put them together, and a small social exchange suddenly has the casting department’s favorite ingredient: chemistry people can gossip about.
For now, the most interesting takeaway is not whether one comment changes anyone’s mind about Kardashian’s performance. It is that Close and Kardashian seem to have a genuine rapport—and Close was willing to make that alliance visible when the criticism arrived.
North West Has Her Eyes on a Starbucks Job
North West may have access to a level of celebrity most people only encounter on a red carpet, but her reported professional ambition is refreshingly ordinary: a job at Starbucks.
According to coverage from TMZ, E! News and Just Jared, North has said she wants to work for the coffee chain next year. That puts the reported plan in 2027, although there is no indication that she has applied, been hired or received any special arrangement from the company.
And that distinction matters. This is a stated wish, not a confirmed employment announcement. There is no Starbucks uniform, scheduled shift or official welcome mat in the reporting so far. For now, it is simply North sharing an aspiration that happens to be far more relatable than the usual celebrity-child career speculation.
The appeal is obvious: Starbucks is one of those places where the job is instantly recognizable. It suggests early mornings, complicated drink orders and customers who discover a new personality while waiting for oat milk. In a celebrity ecosystem built around luxury and exclusivity, the idea of North wanting a regular public-facing job lands as an unexpectedly grounded bit of pop-culture trivia.
It also gives the story its real hook. North is not being presented as having launched a business or booked an entertainment project; she is reportedly interested in trying a familiar workplace. That makes the detail feel less like a career announcement and more like a glimpse at how she imagines ordinary working life.
Whether this becomes an actual 2027 plan is anyone’s guess. Teenagers change their minds, schedules change, and a public statement about a future job is not a contract. Still, as celebrity aspirations go, this one has a clean, charming specificity—and considerably more caffeine than a vague promise to “do something creative.”
North West Gets a Michael Jackson Jacket From Kim
North West has received plenty of memorable gifts by ordinary celebrity standards. This one, however, comes with a name big enough to have its own gravitational pull: Kim Kardashian gave her daughter a Michael Jackson jacket, according to E! News.
North was the one to reveal the present, turning a private family handoff into a small but very Kardashian-style cultural moment. The item is described as one of a kind, which immediately places it in the category of gifts that are less “open this at dinner” and more “keep this in the family archive.”
The appeal is obvious: this is not merely a designer item selected for a teenager with a famous wardrobe. It connects North to one of pop music’s most recognizable figures while also reflecting Kim’s taste for gifts with a headline built in. In the Kardashian universe, even a present can arrive with a little mythology attached.
There is still plenty the available report does not establish. It does not specify how Kim acquired the jacket, whether it was connected to Jackson’s personal collection or career, what makes it one of a kind, or how much it is worth. Those missing details matter, especially when a garment is being framed as a singular collectible rather than simply a fashion piece.
That gap is also what keeps the reveal intriguing. North’s announcement gives the family a striking object and a recognizable name, but not the full provenance story. Until more information surfaces, the jacket is best understood as an extraordinary mother-daughter gift with serious pop-culture significance—not automatically a museum-grade artifact or a piece with a confirmed Michael Jackson history.
Still, the image of Kim selecting a Michael Jackson jacket for North is perfectly on brand: personal, dramatic and impossible to mistake for a last-minute shopping decision. The gift may be one of a kind, but the Kardashian instinct for making family life feel like an event remains very familiar.
