The Kardashians

Kim Kardashian is grateful that French authorities took her case so seriously ... showing deep gratitude to those who secured convictions of several men who robbed her at gunpoint.

The reality star and mogul thanks authorities in the country and tells us, "The crime was the most terrifying experience of my life, leaving a lasting impact on me and my family. While I’ll never forget what happened, I believe in the power of growth and accountability and pray for healing for all. I remain committed to advocating for justice, and promoting a fair legal system.”

Her legal team -- consisting of Michael Rhodes, Léonor Hennerick, and Jonathan Mattout -- also released a statement... saying their client appreciates the court's decision -- and lauding her for her courage in confronting the people who held her captive all those years ago.

It's judgment day for the "Grandpa Robbers" gang of suspects accused of stealing $10 million worth of jewelry from a tied-up Kim Kardashian in Paris in 2016 ... 10 defendants received their verdicts Friday.

Eight people have been found guilty, and two were acquitted. The accused ringleader, 69-year-old Aomar "Old Omar" Ait Kedache received an 8-year prison sentence, with 5 years suspended ... three others received 7-year sentences, also with 5 years suspended. With time served in pretrial detention, none of the guilty individuals will be sent to prison, The Associated Press reports.

Two men wearing police uniforms and masks overpowered a concierge outside Kim's Hôtel de Pourtalès apartment, broke into her room, bound her with zip-ties and tape, and left her in the bathroom, before absconding with her jewelry -- including a $4-million diamond engagement ring from her then-husband Kanye West.

Can you guess which famous Kardashian-Jenner is glistening in the sun in this sexy shot? This ain't rocket science y'all!

Kim Kardashian can officially fling her graduation cap into the air and her law books into the trash ... 'cause she just completed her law program.

The reality television star celebrated the achievement in a backyard -- the only student in her law school class -- as two of her mentors lauded her with praise in videos posted by her sister Khloé.

One of them calls it "one of the most inspiring legal journeys we've ever seen" ... swearing Kim pulled herself up by her high heel straps -- no ivory tower shortcuts for her.

Kourtney Kardashian says school might be out forever for her kids ... 'cause she says she's out on traditional schooling -- truly questioning if there's really even point to it all.

The reality television star sat down with her sister, Khloé Kardashian, on her podcast "Khloé in Wonder Land" ... and, she says she believes challenging conformity is the only way to live authentically.

And, this applies to every aspect of her life, Kourtney explains ... including challenging traditional ideas of school for her four kids.

Kim Kardashian just got back from a visit to Paris, France, where she testified in a criminal trial, went out to eat at some nice restaurants, attended a bachelorette party ... and, got her nipples pierced?

Kim was spotted in Beverly Hills Sunday night in a relatively understated outfit of black leather pants and a tight black T-shirt -- and a closer look reveals what appears to be, underneath, nipple piercings.

Kim's getting out of a silver SUV, and her midriff-baring top is straining over a bra, which isn't doing much to hide what looks like an industrial-barbell piercing. It's unclear whether this is a new take on the Skims Nipple Push-Up Bra, or if KK decided to add on some body adornments while visiting the City of Light.

Kylie Jenner turned up the heat on social media, sharing jaw-dropping photos from her tropical escape to Turks and Caicos.

The beauty mogul and reality TV star shared a carousel of photos on Instagram Saturday where she's seen flaunting her famous curves in a striking red Chanel thong bikini with rhinestones.

Former Knicks star Chris Childs isn't ready to name Kylie Jenner New York's good-luck charm just yet ... but good news for Timothee Chalamet's girlfriend -- there's a game later Friday that could just sway his mind!!

Jenner, of course, has been spotted alongside her man at Madison Square Garden throughout New York's postseason run this year ... and because the Knicks seemingly win every time she locks in, some have taken to social media to wonder if her KarJenner magic is helping the orange and blue.

Childs, though, wasn't quite on board with that theory just yet ... explaining he's still giving credit to the players on the floor -- for now.

Kylie posted a video on her Instagram Thursday, instructing followers to take a vote in the comments ... about whether the chunk she's holding is "rock or coral." The two are super enthusiastic about digging up chunks of white debris out of the sugary sand, and returning them to the sea -- with names.

Check out the video ... the pair is lovingly curating each choice, carefully considering monikers, and shrieking with excitement.

The controversial commentator appeared on "The Nerve with Maureen Callahan" earlier this month ... where she repeated her telling of an encounter she had with Diddy back during one of her two Met Gala experiences.

Kelly attended both the 2016 and 2017 iterations of the event ... and, she says during one of them, she went to the restroom -- and found Diddy, several Kardashians and a bunch of no-name influencers just hanging out in there.

Kim Kardashian spent the day testifying in the Paris jewelry heist trial -- then did what she does best ... hit a fancy dinner, and made sure every eye was on her while doing it.
