Kim Kardashian fans think they know why she was drinking Guinness in a pub
Fans are convinced they have uncovered the real reason why Kim Kardashian was spotted drinking Guinness in a London pub back in March. For the blissfully unaware, the reality star went viral, once again, after images of her sipping a pint circulated online. The photo was seemingly for St Patricks Day but was later exposed as a set-up when a new angle popped up on Twitter. The updated post showed an entire camera crew surrounding Kardashian. The tweet caption read: "Disappointed to learn that this was the Insta vs reality of Kim K in the pub." One person responded: "I mean…. Maybe a couple of cameras I expected, but this crew is almost taking up the whole bar haha and that’s not counting security etc.." But now, fans believe they've uncovered the real motive behind the not-so-candid snap. It was recently announced that the mother-of-four will be playing a character named Siobhan in season 12 of American Horror Story, which led people to jokingly believe she was "method acting" the entire time due to Siobhan being an Irish name. Sign up for our free Indy100 weekly newsletter "It's giving Rathmines," one person wrote, while another joked: "She was doing research here." Meanwhile, a third wrote: "That's why she was in a pub on saint Patrick's day she's a method actor." Kardashian appears to have started filming for the show, after popular account DeuxMoi shared a rooftop scene of her and co-star Emma Roberts in New York. She was seen sporting a long leather trench coat, with her hair styled in a ponytail. The pair walked across the rooftop before sitting down on a sofa and having a conversation. "Looks like a regular scene from Keeping Up With The Kardashians," one person responded, while another added: "I am guessing she is playing someone very close to who she actually is."

France calls in sniffer dogs to hunt for bedbugs on trains
Sniffer dogs have been called in to help inspect French trains and the Paris metro for bedbugs after dozens of reports of infestations caused alarm in the French capital. Public transport users have taken to standing on the metro instead of sitting on the fabric seats as panic spreads over the reported infestations, while others have posted on social media about the creatures swarming over their Airbnb rentals. Transport minister Clement Beaune said there had been about 10 traveller reports about bedbugs at Paris public transport operator RATP and 37 at rail operator SNCF in recent weeks – but he denied there was an outbreak. "When there is a problem, we deal with it, we won’t deny it. There is no outbreak of bedbugs in public transport," Mr Beaune said after meeting transport and travel chiefs. French social and traditional media have reported extensively on bedbugs on trains and in cinemas, and the government has concerns about its impact on tourism and the Paris Olympics, which start in less than a year. Deputy mayor of Paris Emmanuel Gregoire called the infestation “widespread”, and Eurostar this week stepped up cleaning on its trains because of the threat. Bedbug bites leave red marks on the body that may cause itchy welts. Infestations in the home often need treating by pest controllers, and bedding has to be washed in water of 60C or more. Mr Beaune said all French public transport operators would boost health procedures in general and the fight against bedbugs in particular, notably with canine sniffer teams, which he said were the most effective means of detection. He added that every three months, data will be published about all bedbug reports and any confirmed infestations. “Total transparency will bring total confidence,” he said, adding that there was “no need for psychosis or fear”. He also plans to meet pest-control companies and to organise a conference on any problem by the end of this month. With a typical lifespan of four to six months, bedbugs can be carried in luggage and boxes, and on clothing and bedding. Experts say the UK already has bedbugs but the Paris epidemic could boost their numbers. David Cain, founder of Bed Bugs Ltd and a qualified microbiologist, said: “I have known people go on day trips to Paris, not even staying in hotels or other high-risk activities, and come back with them. Paris has been a popular link for the last six years. “Business is already booming. I started doing this in 2005, when bedbugs were rare and obscure, but [they are] not any more.” A Eurostar spokesperson told The Independent: “The textile surfaces on all of our trains are cleaned thoroughly on a regular basis, and this involves hot-water injection and extraction cleaning, which has proven highly effective in eliminating bugs.” Read More Eurostar orders deep clean to stop bedbugs from Paris crossing Channel to London Transport for London gives latest on feared bedbug invasion from Paris How to check for bedbugs in your hotel room – and what to do if you spot one Is London prepared for the bedbug invasion that has swarmed Paris?
