Kylie Jenner’s best friend Anastasia ‘Stassie’ Karanikolaou showed off her incredible figure in new photos shared to Instagram on Thursday.

The star, who is of Greek descent, wore a triangular top that made the most of her assets by adding small bottoms with ties at the sides.

Her abs were on display as she had toned legs and sculpted arms, reminding fans that she is a top social media model.

The star also wore her brunette hair down as she donned a straw cowgirl hat with small hoop earrings and light makeup.

She was sitting on an easy chair at La Casa de la Playa in Mexico. “Life is good,” she wrote in her caption to her 10.5 million followers.

This comes after she said in a podcast that she supports her entire family with her work as a model and influencer after her mother passed away last year.

The star struck striking pin-up poses as she showed off her ribcage tattoo.

Karanikolaou has a large presence on Instagram and YouTube, where she models fashion and bikinis.

She has been friends with Kylie for over ten years.

“She’s definitely my oldest friend,” Jenner said of Karanikolaou during The Kardashians Season 3 finale.

Karanikolaou said on Call Her Daddy in 2022 that they met at a Barnes & Noble in Calabasas, California.

Since meeting in 2010, the pair have become one of the internet’s favorite friendships.

In the Season 3 finale of The Kardashians on Hulu, they denied they were in a romantic relationship.

“Isn’t it so funny how everyone thinks we’re dating these days?” said Jenner.

“When we get a little alcohol in our system, we just like to kiss each other and stuff.”

Jenner joked that she “wishes” she was “sexually attracted” to her best friend, but she isn’t.

Karanikolaou did not grow up in a wealthy family.

During her appearance on Call Her Daddy, she revealed that she and her sister, Alexia Karanikolaou, had to deal with “a lot of commotion” as children.

Her mother struggled with an addiction and they had to move a lot.

In June, the sisters announced in a joint Instagram post that their mother had died.

“Heaven got someone special like that,” the girls wrote in the caption. ‘We will miss you every day. We know you are now at peace with Papou… We love you forever to the moon and back.”

Karanikolaou said she supports her entire family financially.

The beauty is dating Jaden Hossler.

In October, they cuddled while walking the red carpet at a private party.

The guest list for this Pop Icons Halloween Party, hosted by Darren Dzienciol at a private location in Beverly Hills, was impressive.

It was attended by close friends Leonardo DiCaprio and Tobey Maguire, who were not photographed.

Also appearing were Eiza Gonzalez, Saweetie, Tyga, Josephine Skriver, Jasmine Tookes, Kelsey Merritt, Machine Gun Kelly and Megan Fox.

DJ sounds were provided by DJ Kaytranada.

Kanye West took a swipe at Sharon and Ozzy Osbourne's Halloween costumes on Friday after the couple recreated his wife Bianca Censori's topless pillow look.

During their ongoing explosive feud over an unauthorized Black Sabbath sample, the 46-year-old rapper shared a series of posts on his Instagram Story.

In response to a screenshot of Ozzy's most recent Instagram post, Kanye reshared an old photo of Ozzy and Sharon dressed as himself and his wife on Halloween, and suggested they were fans.

He wrote, “He clearly has a celebrity handler on his account,” suggesting Ozzy did not write the original post himself.

The October 2023 photo showed Sharon stripping off to copy Bianca's infamous topless pillow look from September 2023.

Australian architect Bianca, 29, caused a stir in Italy by stepping out wearing only tight nude trousers and a pillow to maintain her modesty.

Sharon then copied the barely-there look, holding a purple pillow in front of her as she posed next to Ozzy, who channeled Kanye with a black hooded look.

The drama started after the British rock star said he wants “no association” with Kanye following a listening party for the rapper's upcoming Vultures album, which includes a sample of War Pigs.

Ozzy explained how he had been denied permission to use the song due to his long history of anti-Semitic comments.

Sharon then joined her husband in calling out Kanye for using the illicit sample.

The talk show host, whose father Don Arden was Jewish, said the couple served a cease and desist order on Kanye, according to her interview with TMZ on Friday.

“Kanye f*cked with the wrong Jew this time,” she added.

The TV personality clarified that Kanye's team had requested permission to use the sample three weeks ago. However, her husband, who usually approves of such requests, responded with a firm “absolutely not.”

Sharon told the outlet that Kanye “represents hate” and that he is a “disrespectful anti-Semite,” and that Ozzy therefore had a “special opportunity to say no.”

After reiterating that the Osbourne family wants nothing to do with Kanye, she added, “The motherfucker is a pig.”

Sharon's epic slam comes after Ozzy took to Twitter to criticize Kanye and denounce him for the pain he has caused the Jewish community.

“@kanyewest requested permission to sample a portion of a 1983 live performance of War Pig from the US festival without vocals and was denied permission because he is an anti-Semite and has caused untold grief to many,” Ozzy shared on X .

He continued, “He went ahead and used the sample at his album listening party last night anyway. I don't want anything to do with his husband!'

DailyMail.com reached out to West's representatives for comment but did not hear back.

On Thursday, the livestream for West's album listening party was cut short after he called himself a “crazy, bipolar, anti-Semite” in a song.

After that text, the feed on streaming service Veeps went black and went silent as the star was apparently censored.

West has a documented history of anti-Semitism and lost a number of partnership deals last year after an explosive anti-Semitic tirade.

Kim Kardashian's ex-husband promised to run a 'death con 3 on JEWISH PEOPLE' campaign in a series of sick posts online.

His title track Vultures also contained the nasty lyric: 'How am I anti-Semitic? I'm just a Jewish b***h.'

Fans were also left stunned online after West – who had heavily teased his album would be released on February 9 – failed to release it.

One

West previously announced a NYC event for his upcoming album Vultures — and shared a bizarre clip from the first single's controversial music video.

The rapper shared a post that read, “Vultures UBS Arena New York 02 09 24.;

The star then shared a video clip of 'VULTURES (Havoc Version) created by Jon Rafman' featuring post-apocalyptic scenes, a masked Kanye brandishing a gun and a burning church.

Kanye wiped his Instagram for the second time in a week while seemingly teasing a listening party in Chicago for his and Ty Dolla $ign's upcoming joint album.

The father of four then uploaded an image of the song '1' to his account, most likely a nod to Vultures, Volume One, which he previously announced would be released on February 9.

Both West and the Sucker for Pain hitmaker, 41, also shared an image with the caption: 'Vultures United Center Chicago 02 08 24.'

In 2021, ahead of the release of his tenth studio album Donda, he previously hosted multiple listening parties for fans in Chicago and Atlanta.

His single Vulture has been criticized off-the-record by Jewish organizations who called it 'pathetic and sad' for mean lyrics about a Jewish woman.

Vultures contains the 'offensive' text: 'How am I anti-Semitic? I just fucked a Jewish motherfucker.”

The text caused angry reactions among some fans and was even condemned by the American Jewish Committee, among others.

“It is inexcusable to fan the flames of anti-Semitism and spread this kind of bile among his millions of followers, especially at this fraught and dangerous time for the Jewish community,” spokesman Richard Hirschhaut said. TMZat the time.

He added that the West's choice is not surprising, however, given its past anti-Semitic comments.

But he said this latest scandal “seems particularly pathetic and sad.”

The Anti Defamation League also joined in the criticism, telling the newspaper: “At a time of rising anti-Semitism worldwide, it is disgusting to see Kanye once again using his platform to express hatred of Jews.”

West has a documented history of anti-Semitism and lost out on a number of partnership deals last year after delivering an explosive anti-Semitic tirade.

Kim Kardashian's ex-husband promised to run a 'death con 3 on JEWISH PEOPLE' campaign in a series of sick posts online.

Shortly after the tweet, the Praise God rapper told Piers Morgan that he only wanted to target certain specific Jews who he felt had exploited him.

When the talk show host claimed the comments were “as racist as anything you've experienced,” the Gold Digger rapper responded, “That's why I said it.” I fought fire with fire.'

In an interview with right-wing talk show host Alex Jones in early December, Kanye praised Hitler for his “redemptive qualities.”

He also claimed that “the Holocaust didn't happen” and promoted the conspiracy theory that black people are the real Jews.

West's rants caused him to miss out on lucrative contracts with The Gap, Adidas and Balenciaga and more.

He was also ousted by his management team at Creative Artists Agency.

Robert Irwin got more than he bargained for when he co-hosted The Project on Wednesday night.

During an interview with British comedian Russell Howard, the funnyman was asked where he gets his sense of humor.

It was a moment that made Irwin, 20, cringe and cover his face in shame.

“All the women in my life are funny, my grandma, my mom are amazing…” Howard began.

'Last Christmas my mother said out of the blue, 'I don't see the point in flavored condoms, my little hip can't taste!'

As the audience erupted into fits of laughter, co-host Harris jumped out of her seat and covered Irwin's ears with her hands, shouting, “Earmuffs!”

“You're corrupting him!” she shouted at Howard, before adding, “He's too sweet for this!”

Elsewhere in the episode, Robert Irwin shocked his co-stars by revealing the very surprising nickname he has for his girlfriend Rorie Buckey.

The reality star, 20, was discussing the Barbie movie when co-host Sarah Harris, 42, commented on the striking resemblance between Ryan Gosling's Robert and Ken.

She then shared a throwback photo of Robert and his girlfriend Rorie dressed as Barbie and Ken, and asked what inspired the photo.

“That's just how I assume, that's the new uniform policy at Australia Zoo. No, that was our Halloween costume,” he began.

Robert then shocked the panel by revealing the surprising nickname he has for Rorie.

'I'm a very happy Ken, I have a beautiful Barbie.'

Irwin also lambasted the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences after Margot Robbie failed to secure a Best Actress nomination for her leading role in Barbie.

The conservationist appeared on Australian talk show The Project on Wednesday and echoed Ryan Gosling's sentiment “there's no Ken without Barbie” after scoring a nod for best actor, while Robbie and director Greta Gerwig failed to make the cut, despite Barbie being the highest-grossing film of the series. 2023.

'That is ridiculous. Come on,” he started.

'[Director] Greta [Gerwig] and Margot made that movie,” he continued.

“That's why we have the Barbie movie, it's ridiculous.”

Co-host Waleed Aly, 45, then asked if Robert would renounce his US citizenship because of the injustice and was shocked by his answer.

“I guess it only makes sense,” Robert said.

Film fans were shocked after AMPAS announced its Oscar nominations and neither Margot Robbie nor director Greta Gerwig were nominated for their work on Barbie.

The omissions drew additional attention due to the fact that Ryan Gosling, 43, who played Ken, received a nomination for Best Supporting Actor.

While Margot isn't in the running for Best Lead Actress, the film itself is nominated for Best Picture, meaning she's actually nominated as a producer.

Margot has previously been nominated for two Oscars: Best Lead Actress for her 2017 film I, Tonya, a biopic about Tonya Harding, and Best Supporting Actress for the 2020 film Bombshell.

Love Island viewers have slammed ITV viewers for including Anton Danyluk in their All Stars line-up after he became embroiled in racing.

The Scottish gym owner, 29, from Airdrie, was pictured in black while dressed as jewelery-loving actor Mr. T – known to millions as BA Baracus from The A-Team – for Halloween in 2014.

The photo appeared on a Facebook page for Anton's gym The Ranch during his 2019 debut and showed him posing with other costumed members of a themed boot camp.

After returning from his series five appearance for the new spin-off, Anton has been linked to Series One contestant Hannah Elizabeth, 33.

But as the wellness hunk comes with a first series of 'OG', many fans have since criticized ITV's decision to bring back the contestant.

Some shocked Island viewers told X, formerly known as Twitter, that they “couldn't believe” the “horrendous” decision.

Before Maya Jama revealed the new pairing, one user wrote, “Omg when they put kaz with blackface anton…. #loveisland.'

Another fan commented: 'This man is hideous…blackface is not something you can ignore.'

“I just can't believe they brought Anton again despite his racist past??? #loveisland.'

The influencer was dressed as Mr T, a character played by black actor Laurence Turead, 71, who was famous for playing BA Baracus in 1980s action series The A Team.

To accompany his controversial blackface, Anton dressed in Mr T-style dungarees, clunky jewelry and a faux mohican.

When the influencer made his Island debut in 2019, it sparked outrage among fans as 2017 finalist Marcel Somerville called for him to be removed from the show.

The outrage comes after Anton opened up about the vicious trolling he received over his performance after his first stint as he prepared to return to the show for the upcoming All Stars series.

He was dogged by cosmetic surgery allegations after his debut on the ITV2 show in 2019, where he was dumped from the villa just before the final.

Along with co-star Belle Hassan, Anton was suspended with just 24 hours to go before the 2019 final, narrowly missing the chance to win the £50,000 prize.

When the influencer joined the show, he focused much of his energy on bodybuilding, but after making the decision to “bulk” for energy, fans began claiming he looked “barely recognizable.”

The trolling became so intense that the TV personality asked his then-girlfriend Dominika Blonsk if his face looked funny.

He revealed that the trolling 'got a lot worse' than he let on and admits he didn't disagree with what the online bullies were saying.

Anton told MailOnline: 'Well, it got a lot worse than it actually was, and to be honest, the hardest thing about that period of my time was that I completely agreed with what everyone was saying about me.

'I didn't agree with anything. I did gain a lot of weight, which was intentional because I was doing bodybuilding at the time. And so my thing, that whole process, when I heard all about my appearance was, you know, I'll show them when I finish my cup. I knew that once I started dieting, I would do what I had to do, and that gave me the extra fuel to get through it last time while dieting.

'As you can see now, I am upset and look like the old Anton again; that's just me. But I did it for that purpose at that time in my life, and I knew there would be a backlash. That's why I've put off bulking for so many years.'

Talk about a captive market.

The Old Forge on the Knoydart peninsula in Scotland enjoys complete dominance of the local pub trade – because it’s the sole boozer in the village of Inverie on the shore of Loch Nevis. And there are no roads in or out.

The pub is the most remote in mainland Britain, with Inverie – population not much more than 100 – accessible only by a 40km (24-mile) hike over notoriously wild mountainous terrain or a six-mile journey by ferry from Mallaig.

But even though it’s the only public-house option in Inverie, it doesn’t take business for granted.

I discovered on a recent visit that it has great service, offers superb comfort food – and generally relishes being at the heart of the unique community.

For starters, it puts on a very impressive Halloween party.

The day before we donned our zombie make-up and made our grand entrance, we gathered – my partner, six-year-old daughter and an assortment of French friends and their daughters – at London Euston on Friday, October 27, for stage one of our journey to Knoydart… the Caledonian Sleeper.

We journeyed on this along the epic West Highland Line, which meanders through breathtaking glens, passes over Rannoch Moor and includes Britain’s highest and most remote railway station, Corrour, 408 metres (1,338ft) above sea level.

The sleeper terminates in Fort William, ‘the outdoor capital of the UK’.

After a two-hour pause there, we jumped on a Sprinter train and travelled along the final stretch of the West Highland Line to Mallaig, past the highest staircase lock in Scotland, over the Glenfinnan Viaduct (aka the ‘Harry Potter viaduct’), and along the shores of jaw-dropping Loch Eilt, which makes an appearance in two Harry Potter movies – the Prisoner of Azkaban and the Deathly Hallows Part 2.

The next segment was a 40-minute voyage on a Western Isles Cruises ferry from Mallaig to Inverie.

Our base was a beguiling self-catered four-bedroom holiday home called Creag Eiridh. It’s like a grand abode from an Agatha Christie novel – and even has some celebrity status. Rowan Atkinson stayed there in 2009.

We got wind that The Old Forge was throwing a children’s Halloween party. The youngsters’ excitement for it was infectious and before we knew it, we were all applying make-up to give us the appearance of a zombie posse.

The atmosphere inside the community-owned pub was terrific – toy bats and spiders hung from the ceiling and everyone, from toddlers to adults, had made a big effort to dress for the occasion, with pirates, becaped superheroes and a dad dressed as Rambo all revelling in the Halloween celebration.

What’s more, the pub had rustled up a free feast – a buffet of Scotch eggs, pasties, burgers and more, all laid out on a table for guests to help themselves to.

We left as the children’s party fizzled out and the pub filled up with more and more adults – including one who’d seemingly placed a plastic buoy over his head.

The entire peninsula seemed to be in attendance.

It was much quieter when we arrived for an evening meal a couple of days later, when we had a chance to properly drink in the surroundings.

The Old Forge is on the ‘main drag’ in Inverie, which you can walk in about five minutes.

The pub’s website explains that the building started its life in the 1770s as a cottage, before evolving into a smiddy’s forge, then a workers’ social club and finally a pub.

The pub went up for sale in 2021, with the locals deciding to launch a community-ownership bid, which was ultimately successful.

The keys were handed to the community on March 28, 2022.

This year it was given a full refurb, emerging as a venue with an inviting appearance that belies its remote location.

It’s one huge room, so no nooks or crannies to nestle in – but there are lashings of wood and huge tables to sit at that encourage communal eating and drinking.

We commandeered one such lengthy table for our evening meal, discovering that the pub offers a solid range of comforting pub crowd-pleasers, from fish and chips to chicken burgers and from lasagne to mac ‘n’ cheese’.

There are also some Scottish classics – cullen skink, haggis bites and venison stew made from locally shot wild deer.

I opted for the fish and chips, which was fresh and tasty.

We had table service, too – which was efficient and friendly.

Drinks have to be ordered at the bar, which is made from wood embossed with the names of people who helped build and finance the pub.

My tipple of choice was a local ale from the Knoydart Brewery called Seven Men, which refers to the heralded ‘Seven Men of Knoydart’, war veterans who in 1948 tenaciously staked a parcel of peninsula land to settle on.

The landowner, Nazi sympathiser Lord Brocket, obtained a court order to have them removed. But while the Seven Men of Knoydart lost this battle, their land raid became the inspiration for a community Knoydart Foundation buyout of 17,200 acres of peninsular land in 1999.

Wonderfully, one of the ‘Seven’ lived long enough to see the handover.

Today, it’s an impressive operation. As well as the welcoming pub, there’s a hydro-electric system, Wi-Fi, a school with a handful of children, and a bunkhouse with accommodation for 26 people and an electric mountain bike hire scheme.

We spent the rest of the week exploring the awe-inspiring surrounds using the trusty Land Rover that came with the house, electric bikes from the bunkhouse – and leg power.

We explored stunning – completely empty – beaches; pootled along gloriously lonely roads in the Land Rover that led nowhere; thoroughly enjoyed a guided tour of the local ancient forest with a Knoydart ranger; sheltered from the elements with hot coffee in the inviting Knoydart Tea Room, and completed a hike to the summit of dramatic 2,611ft- (796m) tall mountain Sgurr Coire Choinnichean, which rises imperiously behind Inverie. 

At the top, clear weather afforded us jaw-dropping views to the Isle of Skye, beyond to the Outer Hebrides and to the majestically lumpy prehistoric Knoydart wilderness.

A land that time forgot – but thankfully not the pub trade. Not quite.
