haircut

THE Ibiza Final Boss piqued the interest of the masses after he was spotted boozing it up on the party isle last August.

While most Ibiza goers like to indulge in the lifestyle Jack Kay found viral fame for his trancelike dance moves and good old-fashioned bowl haircut.

He was spotted vibing in multiple clubs on the island last summer and fans became obsessed with how well summed up the clientele.

Jack, 26, who was seen donning a vest, shades, and a blingy chain, was famed for perfectly round trim, which became the subject of thousands of comments.

The former builder has now opened up on the hefty amount he’s insured his hair for – and it’s seven figures.

He claimed: “Obviously it’s my USP so I have been looking to get it insured and I’ve insured it for a million pound.”

Celebs often get parts of their bodies insured if it’s a huge money maker for them.

While the Ibiza Final Boss’ life turned on its head over night, he told The Sun he’s not worried about “staying relevant.”

For influencers and viral internet stars overnight fame doesn’t usually last long with some desperate to stay in the spotlight.

But Jack, from Newcastle, would be “happy,” if it all ended tomorrow.

Jack said: “I’m not worried about staying relevant.

“I’ve signed a multi-fight deal, my agents got big things happening for us like end of this year starting next year as well. So I’m not worried about that.

“Even if it all ends tomorrow, which it won’t but if it was I’m happy with that I’ve made a killing do you know what I mean I’ve smashed it.”

He acknowledged that his time in the public eye won’t last forever but he’ll certainly be making the most of it two stepping across Ibiza this summer.

Jack added: “Listen nothing lasts forever does it so you’ve just gotta strike while the iron’s hot and make the most of it.”

Ahead of his first Misfits boxing match on Saturday he told us he’s spent two months clean and sober in preparation.

He said: “It’s been what, seven, eight weeks now. I’m itching for one [a drink]!”

Jack will return to the Spanish island – where it all began – later this year and he’s insisted he will be “well looked after,” by club owners.

“Places will offer free drinks, free tables, they offer me free hotels and stuff, yeah. That’s a bit of a privilege, being me now,” he admitted.

His stardom is not over yet as it was revealed earlier this year that he’ll be part of the cast for the upcoming season of Celebrity SAS.

In her early 20s, Ashley Padilla moved from the Bay Area to Los Angeles, hoping to make a living in comedy. She was taking classes at the Groundlings when an acting exercise forever changed her.

“The teacher said, ‘All right, everyone try to get my attention.’ Everyone starts going crazy,” recalls Padilla, imitating the manic movements her classmates incorporated to be as noticeable as possible. “I just stood in the back like a quiet little freak. I didn’t try to do anything. And she went, ‘I’m just staring at Ashley.’”

Padilla, now 33, is sitting in the restaurant at the 1 Hotel on Sunset, dressed in an elegant white blazer and long skirt, a long way both mentally and professionally from that aspiring performer struggling to find her creative voice. But that lesson remains close to her heart.

“I think about it all the time: You don’t have to be so loud. It actually is more powerful if you’re a little slower.”

Currently in her second season as a featured player on “Saturday Night Live,” Padilla, who sports an ebullient manner and warm smile, has become a fan favorite by exploring how much humor (and tension) you can derive from stillness. Her best sketches, including “Mom Confession,” in which a MAGA mother finally, begrudgingly, admits to her liberal kids that maybe Trump hasn’t been a great president, sparkle because of how expertly she builds suspense regarding where the setup is going.

“I really want to be able to stop and take that pause at the beginning [of a sketch], which are the quickest things to cut because you’re trying to save time: ‘Let’s get rid of when you enter,’” she says. “What roots me as an actor is a little breath. Before we get to the jokes, let the audience see me live in it for a second. I think I’ve proven that [those pauses are] not going to suck the air out of the room. It’s actually going to assist in the blowup that we’re waiting for.”

When Padilla lived in L.A., she adored her Los Feliz neighborhood, so on this late April afternoon she confesses to some disorientation at doing press on the Westside. Still, memories keep creeping up unexpectedly. “I’ll see a coffee shop, and you remember how you were feeling: ‘Will I ever make it?’”

There were encouraging moments that kept her going. One dispiriting day, she was on Melrose Avenue walking to the Groundlings. “In my head I went, ‘Will I ever be on television?’ Just then, a car passes with the girl rolling down the window going, ‘I’ve seen you perform! You’re going to be on television!’ It’s literally like someone answered my cry inside and went, ‘Calm down, it’s going to be OK.’”

Optimism came through other channels too, such as her job as Diane Keaton’s assistant, eventually co-creating her 2024 book “Fashion First.” Padilla adored the late actor and filmmaker, grateful for her endless sense of wonder, which inspired Padilla to see the world differently.

“She would stare at a tree: ‘Look at the way the sun goes through the branches,’” Padilla says, marveling. “I have a voicemail that I listen to whenever I’m feeling a little sad or I miss her — she’s just like, ‘Hey, Ash, how are you doing? I’m just checking in.’ And she stops and goes, ‘The blue sky. Wow.’ And I’m just like, ‘You are someone we all want to be around.’ It’s why she is so massive in people’s lives.”

Before ‘SNL,’ Padilla had stints at the Groundlings and as Diane Keaton’s assistant.

Since girlhood, Padilla has loved to write, which was valuable once she joined the Groundlings, doing seven shows a week. “You don’t get onstage unless you write your own stuff,” she says. Her viral “SNL” sketch “Haircut” — in which Padilla goes to dinner with friends, disturbing them with her atrocious haircut — was created at Groundlings, where it killed. But pitching it at “SNL” revealed the differences between the stage and live television.

“‘Haircut’ started as a ‘[Weekend] Update’ [feature], and I was unwilling to get rid of some stuff in there because I knew it worked at Groundlings,” she recalls. Padilla credits her frequent “SNL” co-writers Alison Gates and Kent Sublette for helping her understand the program’s rhythms. “They made it punchier and snappier. I definitely need the other writers — they make it so much better. At the Groundlings, there’s no camera cuts, there’s no time limit — you can mosey and do behavioral stuff. But [‘SNL’ sketches] need to look good on television. These writers are so good — they’ll say a joke that I go, ‘You’ve just said everything I was trying to do in a whole page.’”

Padilla’s peculiar but grounded characters may make you wait to see what they have in store, but she isn’t wasting any time. Last summer, wanting to distract herself from wondering whether she’d be asked back to “SNL,” Padilla wrote a screenplay, which is now being backed by Oscar-winning “Moonlight” producer Adele Romanski. Padilla won’t say much about the project, but you can bet she included a part for herself.

“It’s like, ‘I want to be on television? OK, write your sketches. I want to be in movies? I wrote a movie,”’ she explains. “I don’t want to wait around for someone to give me a role. I hope I get to work with great people, but I also want to control my own career — and my own happiness as well. I want to be creative all the time.”

KIM Kardashian’s hairdresser Chris Appleton has revealed the staggering amount he charges his clients – and fans are stunned. 

Chris, 42, has been a key part of 45-year-old Kim’s glam squad for more than a decade and is responsible for some of her most iconic looks. 

The stylist sat down with Jamie Laing for an episode of his Great Company podcast and the Made in Chelsea star wasted no time in putting him on the spot. 

Jamie, 37, asked: “Is it true you charge £100,000 for a haircut?”

Chris replied: “Oh god, I should never have said that. I got dragged for that. 

“Do you want to know the honest truth?”

Jamie said: “Come on, it’s success! Yes.” 

Recalling being asked about his fee in a previous interview, Chris said: “It’s more. It’s £200,000. I said £100,000 because I was afraid of what… I was scared.”

Attempting to justify the eye-watering amount, he continued: “There’s so much that goes into it and there are plenty of times where I work for free or I don’t get paid that amount of money.

“Also, fifty percent tax, in America, and then your agent takes half and then your business manager takes five [percent]. So, the answer is yes and no.”

After the clip was shared on social media, fans in the comments were divided. 

One wrote: “I don’t get how much goes into it, that’s disgraceful.”

Another said: “That is just a ridiculous amount of money for a haircut.”

But others praised Chris, with someone saying: “He seems humble, grounded and a wonderful person. He’s done incredibly well.”

Kim previously told how Chris is more than a stylist to her and is one of her closest confidants. 

Presenting him with the Hair Artist of the Year award at the Fashion Los Angeles Awards in 2023, she said: “I can tell him all of my personal business and it will never get out. 

“We can party in Vegas all night long until three in the morning and get tattoos – not me  – like we did last night.”
