Kim Kardashian goes topless in racy NYC hotel room photos after ex Kanye West crashed Diddy trial
Kim Kardashian tantalized her 356 million Instagram followers on Saturday as she shared bits of sexy new content. The 44-year-old entrepreneur went topless in two racy posts featuring grainy VHS footage captured by video creator Indiana, who she has worked with before. Kim stripped off while posing seductively in a hotel room bed and showing off her famous hourglass figure. She teased in the caption, '2am nyc time,' as her fans cheekily referenced the similarity between the new posts and her infamous 2007 sex tape with ex-boyfriend Ray J. 'It reminded me of an era,' one person wrote in the comments. Kardashian's latest posts come after her controversial ex-husband Kanye West, 48, appeared at Diddy 's ongoing sex trafficking and racketeering trial on Friday in New York City. Kim covered up slightly in some outtakes, sporting a black Chrome Hearts bikini top and boxer shorts. Another variation of her look saw the SKIMS mogul don a striped, button-up men's shirt. To match her pinup look, Kim sported heavy makeup that included smokey, dark eyeshadow, blush, and ultra-glossy lips. Her video post was soundtracked to Aerosmith's 1993 ballad Crazy. The mother-of-four — who shares North, 12 on Sunday, Saint, nine, Chicago, seven, and Psalm, six, with Kanye — wore her long raven locks in an off-center part with flirty volume for a tousled bedhead look. She also made it a point to zoom in on her layers of Chrome Hearts jewelry as she piled on silver chain necklaces with the brand's recognizable cross logo. Kanye and Kim were married from 2014 until the television star filed for divorce in February 2021. It was finalized in 2022. The Chicago-bred rapper-turned-designer stunned the ongoing trial for Shawn 'Diddy' Combs as he showed up to support the disgraced music mogul on Friday, hugging his son in a show of solidarity. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Kim Kardashian (@kimkardashian) She teased in the caption, '2am nyc time,' as her fans cheekily referenced the similarity between the new posts and her infamous 2007 sex tape with ex-boyfriend Ray J 'It reminded me of an era,' one person wrote in the comments of the dimly lit photos and recording. Kim covered up slightly in some outtakes, sporting a black Chrome Hearts bikini top and boxer shorts He caused chaos at the Manhattan court proceedings as he surprised crowds outside the courthouse. The artist, who now performs by the name Ye, wore an all-white denim outfit to the trial. As he made his way to the building, he was met by Diddy's son Christian 'King' Combs, and the pair embraced before entering together. Kanye had not announced his arrival beforehand, with footage from crowds outside showing their surprise upon recognizing him. He briefly entered an overflow room, but did not reach the courtroom itself, where Diddy has stood trial since May 5. West remained in the building for around an hour before departing. It comes as Diddy faces up to life in prison for drug trafficking and racketeering charges, to which he has pleaded not guilty.

I'm Rewatching All the Jurassic Park Movies Before Jurassic World: Rebirth. Here's Where You Can Binge the Whole Franchise
I first encountered Jurassic Park one fateful day during middle school when my teacher rolled in a cart topped with a CRT television, popped in a VHS tape of Jurassic Park and pressed play. I was instantly hooked, and I've since watched the film countless times, including a 2013 trip to see the movie in 3D on the big screen at my AMC theater. Jurassic World: Rebirth is slated to hit cinemas on July 2, and I'm planning to rewatch the entire series. With run times ranging from 1 hour and 32 minutes for Jurassic Park III to a whopping 2 hours and 27 minutes for Jurassic World: Dominion, binge-watching the franchise is a 12-hour-and-27-minute-long commitment. Or 14 minutes longer if you watch the 2-hour, 41-minute extended edition of Jurassic World: Dominion. But life finds a way. So if you're like me and want to revisit all six Jurassic Park and Jurassic World movies, here's where you can stream the series before Rebirth stomps into theaters in July. Based on my calculations, it'll take 12 hours and 27 minutes to watch all six of the previously released Jurassic Park and World movies (not including popcorn and bathroom breaks). If you watch Jurassic World: Dominion's extended edition rather than the theatrical cut, that balloons to 12 hours and 41 minutes. Screenshot/CNET How to watch the Jurassic Park movies before Rebirth All six movies in the franchise, including the Jurassic Park and Jurassic World films, from the 1993 classic to 2022's Jurassic World: Dominion, are available on Peacock, providing a convenient home for your binge-watch. At $8 per month for the base plan or $14 a month for Peacock Plus, that's less than $3 per flick -- you'd be hard-pressed to buy or rent the series digitally for that cheap. If you don't have Peacock and would prefer not to sign up for the service, you can rent or buy the various Jurassic Park films from Amazon Prime Video, Fandango at Home and other digital video retailers. James Martin/CNET Peacock Carries the Jurassic Park and Jurassic World movies Peacock hosts all the Jurassic Park and Jurassic World films, so you can conveniently watch the entire series on the streaming service. Peacock Premium costs $8 per month or $80 annually. Peacock Premium Plus -- which removes ads (with limited exceptions), lets you download some titles for offline viewing, and provides local NBC affiliate channel streaming -- is $14 per month or $140 per year. In addition to the Jurassic Park and World flicks, you can stream Poker Face, Black Bag, Law & Order: Organized Crime and a slew of other movies and shows. Instacart Plus subscribers get Peacock Premium bundled with their subscription at no extra cost. If you regularly get groceries and other goods delivered, an Instacart Plus plan, which goes for $10 a month or $100 per year, could be a cost-effective way to get popcorn delivered straight to your door so you can stay on the couch streaming Jurassic Park. See at Peacock Do you need to watch the whole Jurassic Park franchise before Jurassic World: Rebirth? Moe Long/CNET You should watch the entire Jurassic Park series prior to Rebirth. There are many through lines and plot points connecting the movies, including the Jurassic World expansion expounding on the genetic experimentation themes from the original trilogy. Jurassic Park's sequel, The Lost World, saw the return of Ian Malcolm (Jeff Goldblum) and John Hammond (Richard Attenborough). Dr. Alan Grant (Sam Neill) and Dr. Ellie Sattler (Laura Dern) return in Jurassic Park III. Jurassic World revived the franchise in 2015 with the action back on Isla Nublar -- where everything started in the original film -- this time with Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard starring. Goldblum returns in Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom alongside Pratt and Howard. Jurassic World: Dominion sits firmly in the middle of the Jurassic Park/Jurassic World Venn diagram, with franchise stars Pratt, Howard, Goldblum, Neill and Dern comprising the ensemble cast. Though there's continuity among the entire series to varying degrees, the Jurassic World movies really build on one another. You may be able to skip Jurassic Park III if a nearly 13-hour marathon is biting off more than you can chew -- the film even takes place on a different island from the original, Isla Sorna. But Fallen Kingdom, Dominion and Rebirth are fairly interconnected, with critical world-building elements. So, though I recommend watching everything, you should at the very least watch Jurassic Park and The Lost World alongside the Jurassic World flicks. In addition to the mainline films, there are a couple of spin-off TV series: Jurassic World: Camp Cretaceous and Jurassic World: Chaos Theory. Both shows are canon, and although you don't have to watch them to follow the film series, they're additive, providing more of the franchise to explore for hard-core fans. Both Camp Cretaceous and Chaos Theory are available to stream on Netflix.

Free for Reel: Mumbai's free-to-attend film screening clubs
On Tuesday afternoon, I found myself in a packed theatre at the National Museum of Indian Cinema (NMIC) in Mumbai for a screening of Thithi, Raam Reddy's award-winning 2015 Kannada feature. Two hours later, as the credits rolled, Reddy launched into a workshop about his journey as a filmmaker and the making of Thithi, warning the audience that it would last at least an hour and a half. Very few people left their seats. Towards the end, he screened an unreleased trailer for The Fable, saying his upcoming film is in the 'magic realism genre". During the Q&A, an audience member asked what that meant. Reddy explained: magic realism treats the magical not as spectacle but as fact, woven into the everyday setting of the plot. Also read: What to watch this week: 'Thug Life', 'The Living End' and more It struck me that the person asking the question likely wasn't 'from the scene". This was a free, public screening. Anyone who saw the announcement on the Instagram feeds of the organisers—NMIC, NFDC (National Film Development Corporation) or the VHS (Versova Homage Screening) collective—could attend. In that room, newcomers and cinephiles, students and artists sat side by side, drawn not by exclusivity or ticket prices but by a shared love for cinema. Over the past year, I've seen more such scenes emerge in Mumbai: film screenings that are free and accessible, and spaces where community grows alongside cinema. VHS has been hosting such screenings for over a year, followed by informal Q&As with directors. 'When we started, we invited friends, collaborators, fellow filmmakers," says Rohan K. Mehta, writer/director and co-founder of VHS. 'But word spread quickly. Demand far outgrew venue size, so we moved to a form-based RSVP system." The audience today is a mix of regulars and curious newcomers. Most of their screenings happen in and around Andheri, the heart of the film industry in Mumbai. 'Down south, places like G5A and the Film Heritage Foundation also screen rare and exceptional films," Mehta adds. These screenings are either free or priced between ₹100-250. Then there's started by Apan Singhal, a Delhi-based product designer and software developer. It curates film screenings across Mumbai, Delhi and Bengaluru, sharing updates via city-specific WhatsApp groups. 'The idea came two years ago when I realised film viewing had become a solitary activity in the post-OTT world," says Singhal. 'Fillum tries to bring back the community aspect." The Mumbai group now has over 200 members. 'Around 50% of all film events in Mumbai are free, and most of the rest are under ₹250," he says. Also read: 'Loal Kashmir': Stories of love and longing from Kashmir More recently, there's Secret Cinema, a club that began just two months ago. Each session hosts about 20-25 people who debate between two classic films, vote, and watch the winner together. Everyone introduces themselves before the screening, with one fun fact and one life tip. 'People need third spaces," says the club's co-founder, who prefers to stay anonymous. 'Places where you show up as you are, do something together, maybe meet someone new. Free screenings matter not just for the films, but for the feeling of belonging. That's the whole point." These spaces are becoming less gate-kept. I've lived in Mumbai long enough to feel like a local, but not long enough to take these pockets for granted. It's heartening that anyone can walk into a room full of strangers, find a seat, and be part of something cinematic. All it takes is following the right Instagram handle.
