Kim Kardashian superimposes head on Virgin Mary statue, incurs Catholics’ wrath

Kim Kardashian West took to Instagram on Thursday to reveal a brand new addition to her Kimoji collection: a candle of herself as the Virgin Mary.

While many of her kimojis exist solely on her messaging app, the “Kim candle” is available in real, tangible, candle form — and will ship in one week for the price of $18.

Though the mother of two touted her candle on social media, some of her fans weren’t so receptive to her new merchandise, calling the candle sacrilegious, distasteful, disrespectful of Christian culture and appropriating the veladoras of Latinx culture.

“Disgusting! As a Christian I’m truly offended. If you knew who the Virgin Mary was and represented, you would actually be embarrassed,” one follower wrote to Kardashian West on Twitter; while another said they were “disappointed” with her decision to release the product.

Kardashian West, who has yet to address the controversy, hasn’t stayed off social media.

The Keeping up with the Kardashians star took to Snapchat on Thursday night to share sexy videos of herself posing in a bedazzled bikini.

Lady Gaga replaced Beyonce as the headliner for Coachella; Beyonce pulled out of the festival shortly after announcing that she's pregnant with twins. On Monday, the artist thanked Airbnb for the home as she posed next to a large fireplace in a pink hoodie; she wrote: 'Thank you @airbnb for my desert home. A wonderful gift!' While prepping for her Coachella gig, the Grammy award winning songstress rested at the mega estate, which has 360 degree mountain views and a resort style pool. The kitchen had st...

Why Detroit has the largest satanist temple chapter in the US

The "largest public satanic ceremony in history" took place last Saturday in Detroit, a city that has the largest and oldest chapter of a national Satanist organization. The group unveiled a nearly 9-foot tall bronze statue of a goat-headed Baphomet in a private ceremony attended by 600 ticket holders, Lucien Graves, co-founder of the national Satanic Temple organization in Boston. The Satanic Temple in Detroit has more than 200 registered members. "They are so active and well-organized," Graves said. "There's probably been another wave of interest since this event." The Detroit chapter is the first of the national organization, Graves said. He credits the Detroit chapter's founder Jex Blackmore with the growth of the chapter since it was established there in August 2014. "It's more or less because of her. She was just a very confident person who started working with us," Graves said further. The pair...
