RIP Bobbi Kristina
The world said goodbye to Bobbi Kristina this week. The 22-year-old daughter of Whitney Houston and Bobbi Brown passed away last Sunday in a hospice in Atlanta, nearly six months after she was found unconscious in the bathtub. Bobbi Kristina will be buried on Saturday and will be interred in her mother Whitney's grave.
Coco is having a baby
Ice-T (57) and his lovely wife Coco (35) are expecting their first child together. “She was only two months off the pill and ‘boom’ I was already on target,” the proud rapper announced at the beginning of the week. The couple is overjoyed and will reveal during the first episode of their reality series Ice Loves Coco whether it will be a boy or a girl.
No more Birkin
Jane Birkin, the 68-year-old actress who was once the inspiration for the most iconic bag ever made by Hermès, no longer wants her name associated with the crocodile leather version of the bag. The style icon made her statements following a recently released PETA documentary about the production of the bag, which shows, among other things, how the skins of living crocodiles are removed. “I have asked the people at Hermès to change the name of the Birkin Croco until the practices for the production of the handbag are thoroughly improved to meet international standards,” said Jane in a statement. Hermès has stated: “Jane Birkin has expressed her feelings about the slaughter of crocodiles, but her comments do not affect the friendly ties that Jane and the company have had for so long. We were also deeply shocked when we saw the intense footage on TV.” Hermès emphasizes that the company, a crocodile farm in Texas, has no ties to the fashion company in the video. “The skins we use certainly do not come from there.”
Gisele Bündchen visits plastic surgeon
Gisele Bündchen (35), the highest-paid supermodel in the world, reportedly visited a plastic surgeon in Paris this week. The Brazilian didn't seem to plan on sharing this news with the world and even wore a burka to visit the clinic unrecognizably. However, she did this with her regular private driver, sister Rafaela, and a pair of lovely open sandals on her feet. Something a Muslim woman would never wear since bare feet are forbidden. Moreover, wearing a burka is prohibited in France. So perhaps not the best thought-out disguise. Speculations about the reason for her visit range from a Botox shot to new breasts to an eyelid correction. It turns out that even the prettiest girl sometimes helps nature a little.
A new Jenner

Ferry Doedens in rehab
It was quiet for a while after GTST-fans had to process the shock that Ferry Doedens was fired from the soap, broke up with his management, and has a drug problem. The popular soap actor announced this week that he has checked himself into a rehab clinic. “I am in the best place on earth, so this will never happen again. I am learning from my mistakes and can't wait to show the improved version of myself.” Where he is, Ferry wants to keep to himself, but he says: “I am getting the best guidance and I am training a lot. I feel super.” Until 28 days, Ferry.
Sabia and Raf part 3
It is the most talked-about soap of the moment. In the past weeks, we went from a breakup to a rather surprising pregnancy and are now back to the breakup. According to family sources, despite the joyful baby news, it is indeed over between Rafael van der Vaart and Sabia Engizek. The footballer himself still has his lips tightly sealed, and Sabia has only made a call to the paparazzi chasing her. “I would like to urgently request all journalists and photographers not to follow me, my children, or visitors to my front door anymore. No more ringing the bell, especially not following me around, chasing me when I go out in my car. It is becoming not only scary but also dangerous,” she tweeted. The tension has certainly reached a boiling point. Because what on earth is going on here? According to Rafael's parents, the two will soon come out with a statement.
