Kim Kardashian 'desperately embarrassed' by ex Kanye West after NSFW moment on boat: report.

Kim Kardashian and Kanye West

Kim Kardashian is "desperately embarrassed and worried" by her ex-husband Kanye West's recent antics that saw him caught with his pants down during a boat ride in Italy this week.
"The Kardashians" star, 42, who was married to the Grammy winner from 2014 until 2022, reportedly believes that "something clearly isn't right" with West, who is currently vacationing with his "wife" Bianca Censori.

Kardashian "doesn't know how she will explain it all to the kids," a source told The Sun after the "Jesus Walks" hitmaker exposed his butt to tourists in neighboring boats while riding a river taxi in Venice's famed canals.

"Kim's been so worried about the new pics that have come out with Bianca – like how will she explain it all to the kids?" an insider told the outlet.
"She's embarrassed and worried for him - he's wandering around barefoot with champagne in the street, something clearly isn't right." Reps for Kardashian declined to comment.

Hurricane Idalia now an extremely dangerous Category 3 storm ahead of historic landfall, catastrophic impacts.

Watch: How quickly water rises in a storm surge

As of Wednesday at 7:45 AM, Hurricane Idalia has made a historic landfall near Keaton Beach, Florida, as a Category 3 storm. Continuous coverage of Hurricane Idalia has moved here.
The time to prepare is over and a dire situation is unfolding along Florida’s Gulf Coast as Category 3 Hurricane Idalia continues to rapidly intensify in the Gulf of Mexico. Catastrophic, life-threatening storm surge and destructive winds will pound the state’s Big Bend region as the monster storm nears the coast just hours away from landfall.

A storm surge of up to 16 feet in some spots is likely, disastrous winds of up to 130 mph, and a risk of significant flooding are all in the forecast as Hurricane Idalia is fueled by the warm waters of the Gulf of Mexico, according to the National Hurricane Center (NHC).
Dozens of counties in Florida are under a state of emergency and evacuations have been ordered in at least 30 counties as fears grow that walls of water will be forced inland as Hurricane Idalia makes landfall.

WORLD

See August's second supermoon and bright Saturn in the night sky.

The first supermoon of 2023 occurred in July.

August began with a bright supermoon and will end the same way as another one lights up the night sky this week. The ringed planet Saturn will also make its closest and brightest appearance of the year near the moon.

The full moon will peak at 9:36 p.m. ET on the evening of August 30, but will appear full through Friday morning, according to NASA.

At the end of evening twilight on Wednesday, around 8:42 p.m. ET, the bright glow of Saturn will appear about 5 degrees to the upper right of the moon. Over the course of the evening, Saturn will appear to move clockwise around the moon, according to NASA. At their closest, the two will appear to be about the width of four full moons apart, according to EarthSky.
Saturn reached opposition on August 27, when Earth moved between it and the sun, which means the ringed planet is at the closest point in its orbit to our planet and therefore visible in our night sky.
