Recently we told you that Kim Kardashian was getting dragged for wearing Marilyn Monroe's iconic dress to the Met Gala last month. Now comes word that it was allegedly damaged by her. As you might recall, she underwent a dramatic weight loss to be able to fit into the dress. The Marilyn Monroe Collection has shared several photos on Instagram, which show the bedazzled dress missing some crystals and others barely hanging by a thread. But it's worth mentioning that Kim asked to wear the dress, and the Ripley's Museum, who has possession of it, allowed it. They could have said no. Kim only wore the dress on the red carpet, and she changed into a replica dress to avoid causing any harm.

Sam Asghari's ex girlfriend, Mayra Veronica, sees a good future for his marriage to Britney Spears. Mayra is convinced that Sam will be the perfect husband. She said, "He's not like the cheating type or the flirting type. He's very devoted, very supportive." Mayra only sees "good things" for them. She even went so far as to call them a perfect match, adding, "To be honest ... he will ultimately take good care of her no matter which way it goes." He must be in it for all the right reasons, because a source said if things don't work out with Sam and Britney, he won't get any of her estimated $60 million because they have an ironclad prenup in place.
