Kim Kardashian Responds To Claims She Damaged Marilyn Monroe's Dress

 

Kim says;

"There were handlers in gloves that put it on me," the reality TV icon told "Today" in an interview, adding that she wore the gown for just four minutes in total.

Kim Kardashian has broken her silence on claims that she damaged Marilyn Monroe’s vintage gown at last month’s Met Gala.

Appearing on “Today” Tuesday, the reality TV icon dismissed media speculation that the dress had been stretched to the point of being “ripped” and “tattered,” and was now missing some of its rhinestones.

"I showed up to the red carpet in a robe and slippers and I put the dress on at the bottom of the carpet, went up the stairs,” Kardashian recalled. “I probably had it on for three minutes, four minutes, and then I changed right at the top of the stairs.”

“There were handlers in gloves that put it on me,” she added.

Elsewhere in the interview, Kardashian said she held deep respect for Monroe, who died in 1962 at age 36, and understood “how much this dress means to American history.”

Monroe wore the shimmery gown ― fitted with 2,500 rhinestones on sheer, nude-colored fabric ― to President John F. Kennedy’s 45th birthday celebration in 1962, where she crooned a sultry rendition of “Happy Birthday.”

Kardashian has been hit with a barrage of criticism after borrowing the dress from its current owner, the Ripley’s Believe It or Not! museum, for the Met Gala, which she attended with boyfriend Pete Davidson. Among those to publicly disapprove of her wearing the dress was designer Bob Mackie, who sketched the original gown specifically for Monroe.

“Nobody else should be seen in that dress,” he told Entertainment Weekly.

The backlash began to intensify last week, after questions about the state in which Kardashian returned the dress were raised by ChadMichael Morrisette, a visual artist who regularly helps handle and display costumes.

Israel To Pump Water From The Mediterranean sea, To Top Up The Sea Of Galilee

  The Sea of Galilee, Israel, despite its name, the Sea of Galilee in northern Israel is actually a freshwater lake, and it's one that has sustained life for millennia. Even today, the lake irrigates vineyards and local farms that grow everything from green vegetables to wheat and tangerines. Its archeology, hot springs and hiking trails bring tourism and livelihoods for local communities. But this place of religious pilgrimage — where the New Testament says many of Jesus' miracles were performed — is facing a bleak future, CNN reports. The climate crisis is causing huge fluctuations in the lake's water levels. Now it happens to be fairly full, but just five years ago, it hit a record low. Climate change and unsustainable water management are leaving lakes dried up all over the Middle East and beyond, but the Israeli government is hopeful it has a solution: It plans to pump water from the Mediterranean sea, take the salt out of it and send it across the country to top up th...

Boris Johnson - Apologizes For Partying At Lockdown

The Prime Minister of Great Britain, Boris Johnson apologizes for attending Downing Street party during lockdown. London(CNN)Boris Johnson has apologized for attending an event in the back garden of 10 Downing Street on May 20, 2020, at which point Britons were prohibited from gathering due to strict coronavirus restrictions. At the start of the weekly session of Prime Minister's Questions, Johnson said he did attend the gathering for 25 minutes before going inside to work. He said he believed the gathering to be a work event, but with hindsight conceded he should have sent attendees back inside. Leader of the opposition Keir Starmer said the UK Prime Minister's excuse that he "did not realize he was at a party" was "ridiculous" and "offensive." The Labour Party leader went on to ask if the Prime Minister would resign. "After months of deceit and deception, the pathetic spectacle of a man who has run out of road," Starmer said. The Prime ...
