Khloé Kardashian names every cosmetic procedure she's done: 'I know some great doctors'
When it comes to sharing her beauty regimen, Khloé Kardashian is taking a page from sister Kylie Jenner's digital book. The reality TV star and media mogul, 41, opened up about her history of cosmetic procedures in the comments section of a June 28 Instagram post. Following her recent appearance at Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez's Italy wedding, Kardashian received a shout-out from Dr. Jonny Betteridge, a London-based aesthetician, who praised her as the "standout face" from the celebrity nuptials. Betteridge, who said Kardashian's physical appearance has "changed a lot over the past few years" speculated that "The Kardashians" star's "transformation" likely included cosmetic procedures such as a "temporal brow lift," a rhinoplasty (nose job), lip filler, and a face and neck lift. "She looks dramatically different from a few years ago," Betteridge concluded. "And whether you see it as glow up or glam makeover, there's no denying she's created a bold new look for herself." The following day, Kardashian responded to Betteridge's assessment by confirming the cosmetic work she's had done in a detailed list, including the doctors and service providers who oversaw her procedures. "I take this as a great compliment!" she wrote. "In 2025 there are many other things we can do before surgery," Kardashian added. "But when it's time, and if I choose to, I know some great doctors 😉💞" What cosmetic work has Khloé Kardashian done?

The Kylie Cosmetics founder, 27, revealed her exact breast implant order after a fan, social media influencer Rachel Leary, complimented Jenner's bust in a TikTok video published June 2. "445 cc, moderate profile, half under the muscle!!!!! silicone!!! garth fisher!!! hope this helps lol," Jenner wrote in the comments section. Kardashian previously opened up about her relationship with body image, including her explorations of plastic surgery, in the June 2021 reunion for "Keeping Up with the Kardashians." Kardashian revealed at the time that she'd had a nose job, as well as unspecified "injections." "When the show first started, I was very secure, very secure," Kardashian said. "Then, during the first couple seasons I became insecure because of the public opinions of myself. Then, I had a good run of being secure. Then, recently I've become now insecure again. So, I guess it just goes up and down." Contributing: Erin Jensen, USA TODAY

Brian Wilson's cause of death released weeks after Beach Boys icon died at 82
Beach Boys founding member Brian Wilson's cause of death at 82 has been released. The music icon, who helped define the Southern California surf-rock sound in the 1960s, died after experiencing several minutes of respiratory arrest on the morning of June 11 in his Beverly Hills, California, home, according to a death certificate obtained by USA TODAY June 30. Respiratory arrest occurs when a person stops breathing. Several hours of sepsis, which is a life-threatening bodily response to an infection, per the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and days of cystitis, or a bladder infection, were mentioned as contributing causes. He also had a neurodegenerative disorder, obstructive sleep apnea, chronic respiratory failure and chronic kidney disease. Wilson was cremated and buried at a cemetery in the Westwood neighborhood, home to UCLA. Essential Brian Wilson songs: 'God Only Knows,' 'Good Vibrations' and more TMZ was first to report the news on June 26. The day he died, his family announced his death on social media without citing a cause. "We are heartbroken to announce that our beloved father Brian Wilson has passed away," the caption read. "We are at a loss for words right now. Please respect our privacy at this time as our family is grieving. We realize that we are sharing our grief with the world. Love & Mercy." Brian Wilson was under a conservatorship prior to his death Wilson is survived by his daughters from his first marriage, Carnie and Wendy, who achieved success as part of Wilson Phillips. "I have no words to express the sadness I feel right now," wrote Carnie Wilson in a heartfelt tribute on Instagram. "I am lucky to have been his daughter and had a soul connection with him that will live on always. I've never felt this kind of pain before, but I know he's resting up there in heaven … or maybe playing the piano for Grandma Audree, his Mom." He's also survived by his five adopted children from his second marriage to Melinda Ledbetter. Brian Wilson was placed under a conservatorship in 2024. Wilson was taking medication for dementia, according to a doctor's declaration filed with longtime manager LeeAnn Hard and publicist Jean Sievers' petition for conservatorship. He was "unable to properly provide for his own personal needs for physical health, food, clothing, or shelter," the petition claimed. His wife, Melinda Ledbetter, died at 77 years old in January 2024. Contributing: Marco della Cava and Edward Segarra, USA TODAY
