It’s often said the dreidel was a way Jewish people communicated their faith during ancient times of oppression. But the Hanukkah game is actually a lot more recent.

North West, the daughter of Kim Kardashian and Kanye West has opened up about her life with her first-ever solo interview. Speaking to i-D Magazine, the 10-year-old chatted all things fashion, family and future aspirations and posed for the publication's The New Wave Issue cover. Despite her young age, North has nearly 17m followers on her shared TikTok account with her mum @kimandnorth - some of the shenanigans include doing her auntie, Kylie Jenner's makeup, doing pranks, filming with Selena Gomez's younger sister, transforming into her dad using makeup, and even going live (without permission). Though in this interview we learn more about North such as how if could meet anyone, she would want to meet Tupac, she would live in Japan if she didn't live in LA as well as her love for basketball and art. North is also known for her sassy personality, calling out her mother as well as the paparazzi - both of which get a mention in her recent interview. Here's everything we learned from North West's first cover: She's her own style icon @kimandnorth Living life in Tokyo, While her mother and father have made an impact on the fashion industry with SKIMS and Yeezy, North clearly marches to the beat of her own drum when it comes to style after being asked: "Who is your style icon?" She simply replied: "Me." We love the confidence. On music @kimandnorth Since her father is a famous rapper, it's no surprise that North was asked whether she likes to sing or perform herself and in response said "Performing is my favourite." Does this talent come from her family? North replied: "Sometimes, mostly from me though. And then a little bit of my dad," whose song 'Through the Wire' is her current favourite at the moment. She likes getting her photo taken... just not by paparazzi As North has made headlines for answering back at paparazzi, she was questioned on whether she likes getting her picture taken - and she does but not all the time. "Yes. Only when I want to, because ehhh, I don’t want to sometimes. But not by the paparazzi," she said. Her favourite fashion show Although North has been photographed at fashion events and shows since she was a baby, those clearly cannot beat a sisterly fashion show in the comfort of her home. "My little sister’s fashion show in her closet," she replied when asked what was the best fashion show she's been to. Her favourite memory is basketball-related North's love of basketball comes up a number of times in her interview, including her favourite memory when she had a go at playing the sport for the first time. "When I first tried basketball, because I was so bad. So I know those memories and I’m like, ‘Ooh, now I’m so good’, I got so much better," she said. Future aspirations as a business owner Like many children her age, North has thought about a number of different roles that she wanted to do when she was older - some of these include a boxer (but not anymore), a basketball player and a rapper, following in her dad's footsteps. "A basketball player, a rapper, um... Well, when I was seven, I wanted to be a boxer. But now I don’t want to be a boxer. I’m going to do art on the side," she said. "When I’m, like, thirteen, I want to walk dogs, to make money to buy art supplies, because everything around here is so expensive. So a rapper, a basketball player, and I’m going to make artwork that I sell." However, she clearly has an interest in business too and noted how she wants to take over her parent's businesses when she's older. "Also, one day I want to own Yeezy and SKIMS, and I want to be a business owner." North's life in three words "Blessed, awesome, cool." Three words to describe herself "The best ever." Enough said.

The creators of Friends have shared how Matthew Perry was "in a really good place," two weeks before his sudden death. The 54-year-old's death was confirmed after was found unresponsive in a hot tub at his home in Los Angeles on Saturday afternoon. In an interview preview from the Today show that will air today (November 1) Marta Kauffman and David Crane spoke to the actor who played Chandler Bing in their popular sitcom for a decade. “It was great,” Kauffman said about the last conversation she had with Perry. “He was happy and chipper. He didn’t seem weighed down by anything. He was in a really good place, which is why this seems so unfair.” Kauffman, Crane along with executive producer Bright also released a statement together after news broke of Perry's unexpected death. "We are shocked and deeply, deeply saddened by our beloved friend Matthew’s passing," they said. "He was a brilliant talent. It’s a cliche to say that an actor makes a role their own, but in Matthew’s case, there are no truer words. From the day we first heard him embody the role of Chandler Bing, there was no one else for us. "We will always cherish the joy, the light, the blinding intelligence he brought to every moment – not just to his work, but in life as well. He was always the funniest person in the room. More than that, he was the sweetest, with a giving and selfless heart. They concluded: "We send all of our love to his family and friends. This truly is The One Where Our Hearts Are Broken." Perry's fellow Friends castmates also released a joint tribute on Monday (October 30). “We are all so utterly devastated by the loss of Matthew. We were more than just cast mates. We are a family,” the sitcom stars wrote in a statement to People. “There is so much to say, but right now we’re going to take a moment to grieve and process this unfathomable loss,” they continued. “In time we will say more, as and when we are able. For now, our thoughts and our love are with Matty’s family, his friends, and everyone who loved him around the world.” How to join the indy100's free WhatsApp channel Sign up to our free Indy100 weekly newsletter Have your say in our news democracy.

This year, celebrities treated Halloween as the second Met Gala, going above and beyond for their star-studded bashes. From Heidi Klum's impressive peacock look (complete with 10 Cirque du Soleil performers) to Kendall Jenner as Marilyn Monroe and her famed Kardashian sisters cosplaying as Bratz dolls, they all collectively won Halloween. Even Hailey Bieber seemingly made a tongue-in-cheek reference to Mean Girls after TikTokers cruelly called her the new Regina George following a clash with Selena Gomez earlier this year. Well now, attention has been turned to Sharon and Ozzy Osbourne who creatively dressed up as Kanye West and Bianca Censori with her infamous pillow outfit. Sharon's post to Instagram left followers in hysterics, with one person calling it "the greatest thing I've ever seen." "LMAO KANYE AND HIS WIFE GIRL BYE SLAY SHARON," another user added, while a third commented: "You guys are epic! Looking great, Sharon!" Meanwhile, some people were lost and did not quite understand the pop culture reference... For the blissfully unaware, Kanye and his rumoured wife made headlines over the summer during their trip across Italy. Many outfits turned heads for their risque nature – but one in particular, was Censori covering herself with a hotel pillow. The snaps sparked confusion and backlash online, with one writing: "How completely ridiculous these people are. Put on some clothes and then you won’t have to take a hotel room cushion out sightseeing with you - and you even get your arms free! Novel concept." Meanwhile, one person called their behaviour "unhinged," writing: "Kanye & Bianca Censori are unhinged. Someone ought to stage an intervention. Wearing a pillow? Him walking in socks?"

Elon Musk rocked up on The Joe Rogan Experience once again this week – and as you’d expect, there were plenty of talking points. His appearances on the show have always raised eyebrows. The first time he was on The Joe Rogan Experience, Musk made a splash by smoking (and choking on) a large joint. This time was no different, with Musk kicking off by lighting a cigar and speaking to Rogan, who was wearing a blonde wig and a Puerto Rico shirt throughout the interview to mark Halloween. Here are the biggest talking points from the new interview. Shooting a Tesla Cybertruck The long-awaited Tesla Cybertruck is (finally) almost here, and the pair talked about the durability of the build construction of the new model. Then, Rogan took things into his own hands and made a modest $1 bet with Musk, one of the richest people on the planet, that he could pierce the bodywork by shooting it with a bow and arrow. He then took himself down to the garage Musk’s car was parked in and shot it – in the end, it was Musk who won the bet. Slamming George Soros Musk once again criticised billionaire financier and philanthropist George Soros, who previously annoyed Musk by dumping Tesla stock. “He is, I believe, the top contributor to the Democratic party. The second one was Sam Bankman-Fried,” Musk said. “And Soros, he had a very difficult upbringing… In my opinion, he fundamentally hates humanity. That's my opinion.” He went on to criticise Soros by saying: “He's doing things that erode the fabric of civilization - getting DAs elected who refuse to prosecute crime. “That's part of the problem in San Francisco, and LA, and a bunch of other cities.” Buying Twitter to prevent the “mind virus” Discussing why he wanted to buy Twitter in the first place, Musk said that he wanted to save civilisation. “This is going to sound melodramatic but I was worried that it was having a corrosive effect on civilization,” he said. “Just having a bad impact.” He blamed the city of San Francisco, where the headquarters of the company is located, on liberal attitudes “infecting” staff. “I think part of it is where it's located - which is downtown San Francisco. While I think San Francisco is a beautiful city and we should fight really hard to right the ship of San Francisco. “But if you walk around downtown San Francisco, right near the X headquarters, it's the zombie apocalypse. It's really rough.” He added: “That philosophy is one which was being piped to earth. So, a philosophy that would ordinarily be quite niche, and quite restrained, so the fallout area was limited, was effectively given as an information weapon. Musk went on to say: “Information technology weapon to propagate what is essentially a mind virus to earth. “And the mind virus is very clear if you walk the streets of downtown San Francisco. It is the end of civilization.” Poking fun at Meta’s Threads The pair then discussed the noise surrounding Meta’s Threads, which was launched as a rival to Twitter in the summer. Rogan spoke about the mass emigration to the new social media platform. While it seemed popular at first, the number of regular users has dropped off dramatically. The host said: “It just dropped off within a couple of weeks. Now it's a f***ing ghost town." Musk added: "I mean, [Mark Zuckerberg] himself doesn't post. You gotta use your own product." Claiming Zuckerberg pulled out of their fight Remember back in the summer? It was a simpler time, when two of the richest men on the planet vowed to knock seven bells out of each other in a fight – that never actually happened. Musk and Meta’s Zuckerberg supposedly agreed to fight each other a while back and it never happened. Now, though, Musk claimed during the interview with Rogan that it was Zuckerberg and not him who pulled out of the bout. “I’ll fight you any place, anywhere, under any rules,” Musk stated. Sharing Covid conspiracy theories and criticising people who choose to wear masks Musk spent a chunk of the interview claiming that ventilators used during the pandemic damaged the lungs of patients, saying that the “treatment is worse than the disease”. He and Rogan also went on to criticise people who still chose to wear masks, with Rogan saying: "I think you're gonna be okay [without the mask]. You're probably not gonna be okay breathing that f****ing same air in that mask and all the bacteria spitting out." "Most of the time, a mask is not good for you,” Musk added.

Halloween is over, which means it's basically Christmas. In Mariah Carey's eyes at least. Keeping up her annual tradition, the singer released a video to Instagram of the clock striking midnight on 1st November, and her subsequent defrosting. As the ice melts away, her hit track 'All I Want For Christmas' plays out, and she whistles her iconic: "It's time!" It's a long-running joke that Mariah Carey owns the festive season, and if that doesn't get us into the Christmas spirit, nothing will. Click here to sign up for our newsletters.

Heidi Klum has unveiled her 2023 Halloween costume at her annual New York party - and she's totally stolen the show, as usual. Off the back of last year's worm look, the model this year opted for something big and bold, that involved 10 Cirque du Soleil to bring it to life on the red carpet. Klum dressed as the head and neck of a peacock, while those with her represented each of its feathers, creating an incredible illusion. We didn't expect any less.

Halloween might be over for another year, but the costumes continue to roll in – and they certainly did not disappoint. This year, it appears as though most celebrities turned a blind eye to the scary element, and instead cosplayed as fellow A-listers with a swarm of Britney's and David Beckhams taking over social media feeds. Sharon and Ozzy Osbourne took it one step further and dressed as Kanye West and Bianca Censori and her infamous 'pillow outfit'. The Kardashian clan also took part in the Halloween festivities, with several looks across the family. One in particular saw has since drawn backlash online when Khloe and Kim Kardashian dressed as Bratz dolls along with their two friends. Fans flooded the string of photos with praise for their efforts. However, it didn't take long before others chimed in accusing Khloe of 'blackfishing,' a term used to describe "white public figures, influencers and the like do everything in their power to appear Black." "Damn I thought that Kim posted it and I didn’t recognize Khloe lol," one wrote, while another added: "I love u khloebut this ain’t it! U didn’t have to become darker to be a Bratz doll". A third said: "Ooooooh the black fishing in this one is out of control". Meanwhile, others made comparisons to Jesy Nelson. "Thought this was Jessy Nelson," one Instagrammer penned. "Pls I thought this was that one girl from Little Mix," a second shared. It comes after sister Kylie Jenner released her very own Bratz doll earlier this year – which was also blasted by fans for "darkening" the skin tone. On 1 August, the famed doll company announced its first-ever celeb collaboration with six versions of Jenner's iconic looks. One of which features her 2019 Met Gala Versace dress. Indy100 reached out to Khloe Kardashian's representative for comment.
