The reality star was upset last year after unflattering pictures of her behind were posted online that lead to her being trolled.

Kim spoke about the pictures when she appeared on The View last year where she said: “I saw these awful photos of myself when I was on a trip in Mexico and people were Photoshopping them and sharpening them.”

The mother also Admitted she hadn’t worked out in over two months.

“I mean, I definitely was not in my best shape I hadn’t worked out in 12 weeks. I had two surgeries on my uterus,” she said.

In typical Kim style, she said she wanted the vacation to be “private” but is also making time to take a serious amount of photos.

“So far it’s been very private, but don’t worry we’ve been taking tons of pics. I will post them when I have time,” she told fans.

The stars of RTE’s Young Offenders have announced the line-up of The Irish Cancer Society’s 2018 Colour Dashes.

PJ Gallagher, who plays exasperated headmaster Brian in the hit RTE show, was joined by Chris Walley and Alex Murphy, teenage terrors Jock and Conor, for a riot of colour as they urged members of the public to sign up for the fun 5k.

Colour Dash, sponsored by Aldi Ireland, takes place in four locations this year, including a new location in Limerick.

All money raised is used to support cancer patients and to fund vital cancer research. Locations for 2018 are: NUI Galway, 10 June, Phoenix Park Dublin, 17 June, University of Limerick, 23 June and Pairc Uí Chaoimh, Cork on 24 June.

Announcing the 2018 events, PJ Gallagher said, “Colour Dash is a fantastic opportunity for families in Ireland to enjoy a fun day out, while helping the 40,000 people who will get a cancer diagnosis this year.”

“We all know someone who has been affected by cancer, and I lost my dad to the illness. Colour Dash, sponsored by Aldi, is a fun event with a serious cause at the heart of it. We can all play our part in the fight back against cancer. Sign up now at cancer.ie/colourdash and help raise crucial funds for cancer research and supports for cancer patients and their loved ones.”

Averil Power, Chief Executive of the Irish Cancer Society said, “As the number of Irish people with cancer increases, record numbers are turning to the Irish Cancer Society for information, care and support. Only two per cent of our funding comes from the State.”

“We are therefore hugely dependent on money raised through events like Colour Dash to fund vital lifesaving cancer research and services such as our Night Nurses, Volunteer Drivers and Freephone Cancer Nurseline. Inject some colour into your summer by taking on a Colour Dash and show your support for people affected by cancer.”

Since 2016, Aldi has supported the Irish Cancer Society to raise over €600,000 through Colour Dash and other fundraising including sponsorship, staff ‘Bric a Brac’ collections, staff donations, sales of Daffodil Day daffodils and charity cards at Aldi’s stores.

Aldi Ireland’s Group Buying Director Finbar McCarthy said, “Aldi is very proud to partner with Irish Cancer Society and support the Colour Dash for the third year in a row. This is a wonderful event for a cause that is close to the hearts of our customers and staff.”

“Staff across our 130 Irish stores are gearing up to make this year’s Colour Dash a success, having already raised over €600,000 since 2016 to help provide essential services for people affected by cancer. We look forward to seeing the Aldi teams and supporters out in force around the country for this great initiative.”

Sign up now at cancer.ie/colourdash as spaces for each Colour Dash are limited and expected to sell out again this year. Registration is €30 per person, and €5 for children under 12.

Guests enjoyed a special preview screening of Dwayne Johnson’s new action packed adventure movie, Rampage, at Cineworld Imax.

Spotted at the screening on Parnell Street in Dublin on Wednesday evening were Gail and Jumar Kaneswaran, models Karl Bowe and Carl Shaaban, Roisin O’Hea, Lisa Nolan, Nirina Plunkett and SPIN1038 presenter Peter Collins.

Johnson stars as primatologist Davis Okoye, a man who keeps people at a distance but shares an unshakable bond with George, the extraordinarily intelligent, incredibly rare albino silverback gorilla.

Georgre has been in his care since he rescued the young orphan from poachers.

But a rogue genetic experiment gone awry mutates this gentle ape into a raging creature of enormous size.

To make matters worse, it’s soon discovered there are other similarly altered animals.

As these newly created alpha predators tear across North America, destroying everything in their path, Okoye teams with discredited geneticist Kate Caldwell (Naomie Harris) to secure an antidote.

Dwayne is seen fighting his way through an ever-changing battlefield, not only to halt a global catastrophe but to save the fearsome creature that was once his friend.

Johnson made headlines recently when he opened up about his struggles with mental health smashing through some of the stigma surrounding men talking about their mental health.

Rampage also stars Oscar nominee Naomie Harris who starred in the Academy Award winning Moonlight.

Stars from top TV shows also took part including Malin Akerman from Billions, Jake Lacy from Girls, Joe Manganiello from True Blood and Jeffrey Dean Morgan The Walking Dead.

P.J. Byrne from The Wolf of Wall Street, Marley Shelton from Rise and Breanne Hill from Frontier are other familiar famous faces involved.

The movie was directed by Brad Preyton and has a run time of 107 minutes.

Costing $120million to make, Rampage is based of a 1986 arcade game which Wraner Bros acquired the right to in 2009.

It was shot in Chicago and Atlanta.

After the news of Tristan’s alleged infidelity hit headlines just 48 hours before Khloe gave birth to their daughter True last week, Khloe’s fans flocked to Tristan’s Instagram account.

In various ‘I hope’ messages, fans commented on Tristan’s most recent Insta pic with some hilariously petty messages like, “I hope every time you change your sheets the corner you just did pings off.”

Another fan wrote, “I hope you get stuck in an elevator with Solange,” and, “I hope Blac Chyna hits you with a stroller.”

Eventually, the trolling became too much for Tristan and he deleted the post picture altogether.
