  • Bianca Censori’s father has demanded she and Kanye West fly to AUSTRALIA to address concerns over architect’s X-rated outfits – after her mother voiced fears about rapper’s ‘intimidating’ behavior during her own trip to LA

    Bianca Censori’s father has demanded she and Kanye West fly to AUSTRALIA to address concerns over architect’s X-rated outfits – after her mother voiced fears about rapper’s ‘intimidating’ behavior during her own trip to LA

    Kanye West is being summoned to spend time with his wife Bianca Censori‘s father in Australia, according to sources, who claim the architect is ‘hesitant’ to face her dad’s wrath over her near-naked outfits and controversial relationship with the rapper.

    DailyMail.com previously reported that Bianca’s father Leo was keen to confront his son-in-law – who married the Aussie designer in December 2022 – just one month after finalizing his divorce from ex-wife Kim Kardashian.

    Now, Leo has reportedly requested that Kanye fly out to meet him in Australia after his wife voiced fears about his ‘intimidating’ demeanor when she visited earlier this month.

    ‘Kanye has been invited to go to Australia and Bianca is hesitant to allow this to happen because she knows how her father will react,’ a source exclusively told DailyMail.com.

    ‘Her dad still plans to have a sit down with Kanye, and Leo will not be intimidated by Kanye’s power or control. No one is expecting this to be all rainbows and family portraits.’

    The demand comes after Bianca’s mother Alexandra flew to the US with the intention of ‘saving’ her child, but seemingly failed to get through to the pair.

    ‘Bianca’s father was not necessarily pleased with his wife’s visit to see their daughter because he feels like she enabled Bianca to continue doing what she is doing,’ the insider continued.

    ‘Yes, Bianca dressed provocatively while her mother was there, but it was nothing in comparison to some of the outfits she has worn prior to and since the visit.’

    Since her mother departed, Bianca has made headlines with her flesh flashing fashion choices.

    Earlier this week she exposed her bare butt cheeks in a metallic silver micro miniskirt and thong which she teamed with a triangle bikini top.

    Another explicit outfit saw her dressed in see-through, neon green tights, which she paired with a skimpy beige tube top.

    The outfit became even more X-rated when her husband proceeded to pull her tights down in order to reveal the top of her bottom.

    Bianca’s father is said to have been disappointed by Alexandra’s inability to help her daughter see through Kanye’s influence, with the source adding: ‘Alexandra wanted to do this alone and her dad was under the impression that she was going to speak to her about how she is presenting herself.

    ‘She was so caught up in the attention and fame of it all that she became slightly intimidated by Kanye’s influence.’

    Earlier this month Alexandra reportedly flew out ‘to see for herself’ whether her daughter is in of her control of her life.

    ‘Bianca’s mom had to see for herself after Bianca told her family she has this under control,’ a source told DailyMail.com. ‘This has been a wonderful opportunity for Alexandra to get to spend time with Bianca and assess the situation for herself.’

    The insider continued: ‘Alexandra was lowkey believing she would come to save her daughter. But this is not the case. Kanye has started to turn things around since the release of Vultures in the sense that he is not going off on as many unhinged rants.

    ‘He also knows how to sweet talk a mom. This has been really a good experience, and everyone is so relieved to see her with Alexandra.’

    Alexandra’s visit came days after sources told DailyMail.com that Bianca had insisted to loved ones that she is not being coerced by her husband like many have feared.

    ‘Bianca has talked to her family and she has told her friends the same thing since she was last back home, namely that she knows what she is doing and she has this under control,’ they said.

    Indeed, the architectural designer appears to have a goal in mind when it comes to what she will do with her newfound level of fame, and is said to be making smart investments within her marriage.

    While many believe the rising fashion star has simply become the Grammy-winner’s ‘trophy wife,’ Bianca has long been someone who works with Kanye to build his empire.

    On top of heading the architecture for Kanye’s brand, Yeezy, since November 2020, Bianca is listed as a joint officer and manager of Oxpaha LLC, which Kanye founded in October 2023.

    ‘She has a lot invested in her marriage to Kanye and her game plan is starting to become apparent,’ the source continued.

    ‘She has ownership in his clothing line, in his music – she is the only model in his latest video and on the cover of Vultures – in his real estate investments, and more,’ the insider added.

    ‘She is a very smart woman and it appears she is just as involved in her outrageous outfits as he is.

    ‘She has always been risqué, but she knows that this is her minute and that her minute won’t last forever.’

    Kanye and Bianca have been making important moves through, Oxpaha, with all of Kanye’s recent trademark applications – including clothing items used for his album release – filed under the company.

    A 7,416-square-foot commercial building on Melrose Avenue in West Hollywood, which it is believed he will use as a multi-purpose unit for his Yeezy fashion and music businesses, was also purchased last year under Oxpaha.

    Bianca was named special power of attorney for the property deal, highlighting her importance within the rapper’s business dealings.

    She was also listed as a business partner in VZW Acquisition group for many years before she first connected with Kanye.

    Back in December, Leo and Alexandra were said to have been fearful that their daughter was simply a rebound in the wake of Kanye’s divorce from Kim Kardashian – which was finalized in November 2022, less than one month before he married Bianca.

    Kim Kardashian has warned her ex-husband Kanye West to tell his new wife Bianca Censori to ‘cover up’ and refrain

    from wearing her infamously-scandalous outfits around their children, insiders have claimed.

    Kim, 43, is said to have an amicable relationship with 29-year-old Bianca – but is reportedly not a fan of her parading her risqué fashion in front of North, ten, Saint, eight, Chicago, six and Psalm, four, whom she shares with the rapper.

    ‘Kim instructed Kanye to never let Bianca dress like that around their kids,’ a source told DailyMail.com exclusively. ‘She is truly surprised that Kanye would let his wife leave the house like that.’

    Australian-born Bianca has been pictured in a slew of headline-grabbing outfits since she married 46-year-old Kanye in December 2022 – less than one month after his divorce from Kim was finalized.

    She was photographed wearing a skimpy outfit that barely covered her breasts and behind at last weekend’s Super Bowl, which was mocked online for looking like a ‘taco shell,’ and just days before stepped out in a clear raincoat with nothing underneath.

    But in pictures with Kim’s children, Bianca’s outfits have been more reserved.

    She wore long pants and an oversized black coat while taking care of North, Saint and Chicago at Kanye’s Vultures listening party in Miami in December.

    Kanye recently appeared to defend his wife’s bizarre, and at times obscene outfit choices, as well as his decision to post half naked photos of her on his Instagram.

    ‘Ima post my wife as much as I want bro,’ he told his 19.5 million followers on Tuesday. ‘It makes me happy. Some people don’t want you to be happy. They want you to make them happy. I decided to make myself happy and I’m happy with that [sic].’

    Unlike Bianca’s raunchy wardrobe, Kim was asked to change her outfits if Kanye felt she was showing too much skin, with the artist heavily influencing her fashion choices during their seven-year marriage.

    ‘Kanye did the same thing he is doing with Bianca to Kim throughout their marriage,’ the source continued. ‘The difference is that when Kanye dressed Kim, he was respected as a person – as an artist.

    ‘Unfortunately, Kim knows what Bianca is going through – but she feels Bianca should have known what she was getting into.’

    L: Lewis Hamilton R: Kimi Antonelli

    During the build-up to the 2024 Emilia Romagna GP, Lewis Hamilton was asked about his thoughts on who could be a possible replacement for him at Mercedes. His answer was a strong vote of confidence in the 17-year-old Italian F2 prodigy, Kimi Antonelli.

    Speaking to the media ahead of the Grand Prix weekend, the seven-time world champion said, “Honestly I have no idea what Toto’s plans are but for me, taking on a youngster… If it was my job, if it was my role, I would probably take on Kimi [Antonelli].”

    Hamilton‘s comments come in the backdrop of strong reports linking Antonelli with a move to the Silver Arrows. Kimi is a Mercedes-backed driver and team principal, Toto Wolff seems to be favoring a promotion for the Italian.

    Antonelli burst onto the motorsport scene with a solid karting career. He then jumped into the Italian F4 series and won it at the second time of asking. From there on, it was a series of triumphs for the Mercedes prodigy with the ADAC Formula 4 championship, the Formula Regional Middle East Championship, and the FRECA series.

    The 17-year-old then promptly took a step up to F2 directly, as he skipped a conventional season in F3. He currently races in F2 with the highly successful Prema team.

    But with a lack of experience on his side, Antonelli could be an unknown quantity in the paddock despite his stellar junior career. Hence, he faces stiff competition from the likes of Carlos Sainz and Mick Schumacher who are also vying for that second Mercedes seat alongside George Russell.

    Mercedes prepare Kimi Antonelli for F1 promotion

    Considering Kimi Antonelli is not old enough to even apply for a super license, the 17-year-old already boasts a considerable amount of time behind the wheel of an F1 car. Courtesy of the Silver Arrows, the Italian racing ace has driven two private tests for the team.

    Antonelli first drove the 2021 spec W12 at the Red Bull Ring in Austria. Thereafter, Mercedes also gave him the opportunity, after the 6 Hours of Imola in WEC, to test the W13 at the venue of this weekend’s Emilia Romagna GP.

    Mercedes are looking to prime the youngster before an inevitable push-up to the big leagues. However, there are suggestions that he will not get a direct promotion to the Silver Arrows.

    Wolff is keen to allow the Italian some time to familiarize with the paddock and the competition. Hence, a mid-season switch with Logan Sargeant at Williams is being touted as a reasonable possibility.

    That said, Wolff himself has come on record to express that he does not want to prematurely put Antonelli into the limelight. He knows the consequences of such immense pressure on such a young career, and already feels bad about the constant chatter about the 17-year-old’s F1 debut.

    Lando Norris celebrated his Miami Grand Prix victory with some of sports’ biggest stars over the weekend at the American Express Carbone Beach party.

    On Sunday, Norris led McLaren to its first win in the United States since 2012 after keeping Max Verstappen at bay in the big race.

    Aside from a monumental win on the grand stage, what the Englishman described as a ‘good’ weekend included partying with some of the biggest stars in sports and other A-listers.

    Super Bowl champions Travis Kelce and Patrick Mahomes of the Kansas City Chiefs attended the festivities at Carbone Beach. Miami Dolphins star Tyreek Hill and Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow were also on the elite guest list.

    NBA royalty LeBron James and Kevin Durant were also spotted at the event. Other basketball stars, including Draymond Green and Miami Heat aces Jimmy Butler, Jaime Jaquez Jr., Kevin Love, and Duncan Robinson, also graced the occasion.

    The Carbone Beach Party, which featured performances from Flo Rida and Pitbull, ran through the weekend and hosted other A-listers such as Ivanka Trump and Elon Musk.

    During the festivities, Norris posed with chef-restauranteur Mario Carbone following his win on Sunday.

    The victory gave Norris his first win after 110 entries and 16 podium finishes. His first entry came in the 2019 Australian Grand Prix.

    After the thriller of a race, Norris acknowledged having to overcome some adversity with his team and shouted out to his parents after scoring his first win.

    ‘I mean, the whole weekend’s been good,’ Norris said. “I’ve just had some little setbacks along the way. But, I knew on Friday we had the pace. (Had) just a couple [of] mistakes, here and there.

    ‘But today, we managed to put it together. We found the perfect strategy. It all paid off. So, thanks to all of McLaren, everyone. And I want to give a shout-out to my mum and dad.’

    Lewis Hamilton hits Met Gala carpet in Burberry, racing to New York less than 24 HOURS after Miami Grand Prix

    Lewis Hamilton walked the red carpet at the Met Gala in New York City Monday, less than 24 hours after his P6 finish at the Miami Grand Prix.

    The seven-time Formula 1 world champion wore a custom, all-black Burberry ensemble dedicated to one of the UK’s first Black gardeners, John Ystumllyn.

    He paired his tailored black coat, which featured floral bullion embellishments, with a double-breasted suit and leather boots from the British heritage brand.

    Hamilton completed the look with Briony Raymond jewelry, including yellow-diamond earrings, multiple diamond rings, and a statement wreath necklace.

    The Garden of Time was the dress code for the biggest night in fashion, which celebrated the Metropolitan Museum of Art Costume Institute’s new exhibition, Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion.

    He wore a custom, all-black Burberry outfit featuring a double-breasted suit and a wool coat

    Hamilton, who made his sixth Met Gala appearance, is among the few attendees who consistently adhere to the theme on the First Monday in May.

    ‘I did a lot of research and I came across this 18th Century gardener who, through slavery times, came across from Africa to Wales and became the first black gardener in Wales,’ he told Vogue on the red carpet.

    ‘Through adversity, he really triumphed, so that’s where the inspiration really came from.’

    The Mercedes driver also had a quote from Alex Wharton’s poem ‘The Gardener’ embroidered on the inside of his coat, crediting stylist Eric McNeal and Burberry’s creative director Daniel Lee for the custom look.

    Just a few hours earlier, the athlete raced from South Florida to the Big Apple after the Miami Grand Prix, where fellow Brit Lando Norris secured his maiden F1 win.

    He revealed the look was dedicated to one of the UK’s first Black gardeners, John Ystumllyn

    He finished sixth in the race Sunday, later congratulating Lando Norris on his maiden F1 win

    ‘I feel really happy for Lando,’ Hamilton told reporters after the race, which saw Norris clinch victory over Max Verstappen, with Charles Leclerc in third.

    ‘I just told him he needs to stay tonight. He’s going to try and change his flight. He’s got to. He just won a race,’ he joked.

    ‘But such a special moment to win your first grand prix and obviously I started at McLaren, so really happy to see them back at the top. It’s been a long time.’

    Hamilton, who spent years dominating the sport, hasn’t stood on the top step of the podium since the 2021 Saudi Arabian Grand Prix.

    He will move to Ferrari in 2025 on a contract believed to be worth a staggering $100m per year.

  • Lewis Hamilton leaves Kendall Jenner screaming in fear as the F1 driver takes the model on a hot lap at the Miami Grand Prix: ‘I hate you!’

    Lewis Hamilton leaves Kendall Jenner screaming in fear as the F1 driver takes the model on a hot lap at the Miami Grand Prix: ‘I hate you!’

    Kendall Jenner begged Lewis Hamilton to slow down when the seven-time Formula 1 world champion took her for a flying hot lap around the Miami International Autodrome.

    The supermodel, who was in town supporting F1’s all-female feeder series F1 Academy, jumped in the passenger seat of the $136,000 Mercedes-Benz AMG GT with Hamilton on Saturday.

    ‘Oh my god,’ she shrieked, adding, ‘holy h**t’, I’m gonna cry.’

    At one point she jokingly told the Mercedes driver, ‘I literally hate you,’ while he sped around a corner ahead of Sunday’s Miami Grand Prix.

    Jenner also accidentally leaked Hamilton’s plans to attend the 2024 Met Gala in the middle of their hot lap.

    ‘We have the Met Gala on Monday,’ she yelled, while he spun the car around, doing a burnout on the track.

    ‘I feel so much better now that it’s over,’ the reality star said as the car came to a stop.

    ‘I screamed the whole time,’ she told her pals. ‘It was amazing but it was terrifying at the same time.’

    The pair, who are both Tommy Hilfiger ambassadors, jetted back to New York in time for the Met Gala Monday.

    Hamilton wore a custom Burberry ensemble dedicated to one of the UK’s first Black gardeners, John Ystumllyn, while Jenner stunned in a never-before-worn Alexander McQueen archival dress from 1999.

    It followed his sixth place finish at the Miami Grand Prix, which marked fellow Brit Lando Norris’ first F1 victory.

    Jenner, for her part, was seen chatting to F1 Academy director Susie Wolff, along with the young women competing in the junior racing series.

    Hamilton and Jenner have been friends since 2015, at which time the athlete shot down speculation the two were dating.

    ‘Me and Kendall have been friends for a while, so we’re just friends,’ Hamilton told E! news in September 2015.

    ‘She’s doing incredible, she’s very focused, very level-headed, and she’s just — for such a young woman, she’s very grown up,’ he added.

  • “I’d rather not have it”: Max Verstappen expresses anger and opposes the ‘Verstappen Rule’ imposed by the FIA, leaving Kelly Piquet frightened.

    “I’d rather not have it”: Max Verstappen expresses anger and opposes the ‘Verstappen Rule’ imposed by the FIA, leaving Kelly Piquet frightened.

    Max Verstappen recently spoke against FIA’s system of gatekeeping young racing drivers from entering F1, which was placed especially after the Dutchman entered the sport. At the time, the Dutch driver was only 17 years old and became the youngest to participate in an F1 race.

    Back in 2015, Verstappen entered F1 as a permanent driver, replacing Jean-Eric Vergne at Toro Rosso. To be precise, he was only 17 years and three days old when he raced in the season-opener in Australia.

    Though Max Verstappen was performing on par with other seasoned F1 drivers, the FIA deemed him too young for the top formula series. After 2015, they raised the age limit to 18 for entering and participating in any F1 session. Furthermore, they ensured junior drivers secured 40 points from other formula categories to enter F1.

    Speaking to the media after the 2024 F1 Miami GP, Max Verstappen stated that he understands the age limit and points rule came about because of him. However, he himself was against the system and how it stopped the likes of Mercedes junior Kimi Antonelli and other talented youngsters from entering F1 early.

    “Yes, that rule came about because of me. But ultimately, it does not stop what it is intended for. It is not specifically against him (Antonelli), but in some cases, it can of course stop talent from being kept in Formula 1,” Verstappen said (via RacingNews365).

    The Red Bull star opined that if a junior driver is quick enough, he should be given a chance in F1, regardless of his/her age.

    “Look, if someone is seventeen or eighteen and he has twenty points, but he is very fast. Then why can’t he get into Formula 1? They have to pick up those 40 points first. I’m not a fan of that, of that whole system, but in the end the FIA has to think it’s okay. But I’d rather not have it,” he added.Max Verstappen wants younger racers to be themselves rather than becoming ‘second Max’

    Max Verstappen recently advised the younger generation of racers to be themselves and not try to imitate him or any other driver too much.

    In an exclusive interview with formule1.nl back in January 2024, the three-time world champion recalled how he never tried to imitate a driver and simply remained himself. On the other hand, he understands that juniors can be fans of legendary drivers in any motorsport category. Verstappen concluded that he would not want any youngster to try to become the next version of him.

    “I especially hope that children want to be themselves. That’s how I used to be. I didn’t look up to anyone. I hope that maybe they get a little of that from me: always try to be and remain yourself and not try to imitate someone else. Of course, it’s also nice to be a fan of someone or to have them think: I want to do that later too. Because success inspires. But they shouldn’t want to become a second Max,” Verstappen said.

    Max Verstappen is currently cruising at the top of the 2024 F1 drivers’ championship table with 136 points. Though the competition this season has tightened, the defending world champion has managed to keep a decent lead so far.

    The upcoming show, which is set to highlight ‘the drama of the races, as well as the personal stories and high stakes for the drivers,’ will arrive on the streamer in 2025.

    The news follows Kendall Jenner’s appearance in the F1 Academy paddock last Friday and Saturday during the Miami Grand Prix.

    The supermodel and reality star, who is an ambassador for Tommy Hilfiger, was joined by the designer as she spent time chatting to Susie and some of the young female drivers.

    Jenner also visited the Mercedes garage, where she was taken for a hot lap of the track by pal Lewis Hamilton.

    ‘I literally hate you,’ she jokingly told the seven-time world champion, while he sped around the Miami International Autodrome.

    Several other high profile sponsors are attached to the feeder series, now in its second season, including makeup mogul Charlotte Tilbury.
