Kim Kardashian fans think they know why she was drinking Guinness in a pub
Fans are convinced they have uncovered the real reason why Kim Kardashian was spotted drinking Guinness in a London pub back in March. For the blissfully unaware, the reality star went viral, once again, after images of her sipping a pint circulated online. The photo was seemingly for St Patricks Day but was later exposed as a set-up when a new angle popped up on Twitter. The updated post showed an entire camera crew surrounding Kardashian. The tweet caption read: "Disappointed to learn that this was the Insta vs reality of Kim K in the pub." One person responded: "I mean…. Maybe a couple of cameras I expected, but this crew is almost taking up the whole bar haha and that’s not counting security etc.." But now, fans believe they've uncovered the real motive behind the not-so-candid snap. It was recently announced that the mother-of-four will be playing a character named Siobhan in season 12 of American Horror Story, which led people to jokingly believe she was "method acting" the entire time due to Siobhan being an Irish name. Sign up for our free Indy100 weekly newsletter "It's giving Rathmines," one person wrote, while another joked: "She was doing research here." Meanwhile, a third wrote: "That's why she was in a pub on saint Patrick's day she's a method actor." Kardashian appears to have started filming for the show, after popular account DeuxMoi shared a rooftop scene of her and co-star Emma Roberts in New York. She was seen sporting a long leather trench coat, with her hair styled in a ponytail. The pair walked across the rooftop before sitting down on a sofa and having a conversation. "Looks like a regular scene from Keeping Up With The Kardashians," one person responded, while another added: "I am guessing she is playing someone very close to who she actually is."

MSNBC's Mehdi Hasan responds after Jordan Peterson labels him a 'Caucasian'
Jordan Peterson has labelled a brown man a “Caucasian”, and has unsurprisingly been slammed for doing so. British-American broadcaster and author, Mehdi Hasan, responded to the outrageous statement made about him by Peterson yesterday. Peterson, the rightwing celebrity psychology professor, posted on X/ Twitter, on 27 August. He said that Hasan was “not really brown. More like a light tan. Just like ‘white’ people.” He added: “Plus you're a Caucasian. By definition. Buddy.” In response, Hasan posted: “Nothing to see here, just Jordan Peterson, a white man, telling me I’m not brown, I’m actually white. Also, how am I a Caucasian, ‘by definition’?” Hasan is a Brit who was born to Indian parents from Hyderabad in the south of the country. They emigrated to the UK before he was born. In 2021, he tweeted that he was "tired of people telling me that I shouldn't take any pride in my south Asian heritage today, or that it has any relevance to my political views". "There's a word for this and it starts with R," he added. Hasan moved to America in 2015 to work as a producer and presenter on news TV. Now, he hosts his own show on MSNBC. It is unclear what definition of the word "Caucasian" Peterson is referring to. The Cambridge Dictionary defines the word as “belonging to the races of people who have skin that is of a pale colour”. Peterson’s bizarre attack on Hasan’s heritage was a response to a monologue by the presenter on his TV show. Hasan criticised white American conservatives’ attitudes in the wake of a mass shooting in which a white person killed three black people with an assault rifle. “Tonight, this brown Muslim is asking the white conservative community to do the same: get your house in order, crack down on the hate preachers... condemn the right of white supremacist ideology,” he said. Peterson did not respond to Hasan’s most recent post. Sign up to our free Indy100 weekly newsletter Have your say in our news democracy.
