Kim And Kanye Hire Private Firefighters To Save Home, Neighborhood
Kim Kardashian and Kanye West’s $60 million mansion was unscathed in the devastating California wildfires – thanks to a private team of firefighters they hired to battle the blazes.
The power couple is being praised by neighbors in their Hidden Hills neighborhood for shelling out for a squad of smoke-eaters who dug trenches in order to keep the inferno at bay, TMZ re- ported Monday.
The couple’s manse is sit- uated at the end of a cul-de-
Kanye West and Kim Kar- dashian
sac adjacent to a field and
could have threatened the rest of the block had it gone up in flames.
Neighbors told TMZ that Kardashian and West saved their homes.
The couple were among many celebrities who were forced to evacuate their homes.
“Just landed back home andhad1hourtopackup& evacuate our home. I pray everyone is safe,” she wrote on Instagram after docu- menting the fires from a pri- vate plane.
The estate of Tupac Shakur and Marvel’s Black Panther have come together for a special capsule kids are sure to enjoy.
Announced last Friday (Nov. 9), the rapper’s estate has partnered with Marvel comics for the collection titled POP by Foot Locker. Avail- able only at Foot Locker, the nine-piece shirt collection features short and long sleeve tops as well as sweat- shirts that mesh the designs commonly associated with the Blockbuster smash and images of late rapper’s name and face.
In a statement to reporters,
Paul Gitter, SVP of Marvel Li- censing spoke on the unusual but fitting pairing. “The inter- section of music and Black Panther is such a vital part of that property, so it is fantas- tic to co-brand with an influ- ential artist like 2Pac on a new collection of Marvel ap- parel,” he said.
The clothing line is rea- sonably priced between $25 for teeshirts and $50 for sweatshirts and hoodies. The Shakur estate recently obtained legal rights to his unreleased music, as well as a six-figure settlement for un- paid royalties at the begin- ning of October.
Stan Lee, Marvel Comics' Real-Life Superhero, Dies at 95
Stan Lee, the legendary writer, editor and publisher of Marvel Comics whose fantabulous but flawed cre- ations made him a real-life superhero to comic book lovers everywhere, has died. He was 95.
Lee, who began in the business in 1939 and created or co-created Black Panther, Spider-Man, the X-Men, the Mighty Thor, Iron Man, the Fantastic Four, the Incredi- ble Hulk, Daredevil and Ant- Man, among countless other characters, died early Mon- day morning at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Ange- les, a family representative told The Hollywood Re- porter.
Kirk Schenck, an attor- ney for Lee's daughter, J. C. Lee, also confirmed his death.
Lee's final few years were tumultuous. After Joan, his wife of 69 years, died in July
The feisty writer, editor and publisher was responsible for such iconic characters as Spi- der-Man, the X-Men, Thor, Iron Man, Black Panther and the Fantastic Four.
2017, he sued executives at POW! Entertainment — a company he founded in 2001 to develop film, TV and video game properties — for $1 bil- lion alleging fraud, then abruptly dropped the suit weeks later. He also sued his
ex-business manager and filed for a restraining order against a man who had been handling his affairs. (Lee's estate is estimated to be worth as much as $70 mil- lion.) And in June 2018, it was revealed that the Los An- geles Police Department had been investigating reports of elder abuse against him.
On his own and through his work with frequent artist- writer collaborators Jack Kirby, Steve Ditko and others, Lee catapulted Mar- vel from a tiny venture into the world's No. 1 publisher of comic books and, later, a multimedia giant.
In 2009, The Walt Disney Co. bought Marvel Entertain- ment for $4 billion, and most of the top-grossing superhero films of all time — led by Avengers: Infinity War's $2.05 billion worldwide take earlier this year — have fea- tured Marvel characters.
