A photo of Kanye West and Kim Kardashian

We’ve talked about Kim Kardashian‘s fashion choices a few times this week, remember? Specifically, we talked about how she seemed to be developing a trend of wearing memorable dresses that other celebrities wore before her. First there was her Gwyneth Paltrow dress, and then she stepped out in Cannes wearing the same dress that had been worn before by Zoe Saldana, Alessandra Ambrosio, and Katy Perry (not at the same time, of course, but if someone could draw that picture, that would be awesome). But now there’s some news that reveals that Kanye is really the one to blame for the bad fashion. Natch.

From the Daily News:

Rapper-turned-fashion-designer Kanye West has been giving Kim Kardashian some fashion advice.

“Kanye has been having chats with Kim about her style. He thinks she should be more like him, edgy with her choices. He keeps saying she should evolve as a fashion icon,” thesun.co.uk quoted a source as saying.

Kim ran a clothing boutique with her sisters Kourtney and Khloe Kardashian as well as her mother Kris Jenner before finding fame. She has also created a successful apparel line named Kardashian Kollection.

However, West thinks Kim needs to be more adventurous with the image.

“Kanye says she plays it safe too much so has been trying to pick outfits for her to wear and encourage her to be more daring,” the source said.

And here’s a similar story all about how Kanye wants Kim to look like Kate Middleton:

Rapper-turned-fashion designer Kanye West prefers his rumoured girlfriend Kim Kardashian to sport a natural look a la Duchess of Cambridge Catherine Middleton. The rapper has been advising his reality TV star girlfriend’s style team on how he wants her to look, with Middleton as a reference point.”Kanye does like to get involved with Kim’s look. He actually has a lot of input, he has amazing style so we take his opinions to heart and I say, ‘Okay, I’ll try it’,” femalefirst.co.uk quoted Kardashian’s stylist Rob Scheppy as saying.

“Catherine Middleton has influenced her look while in London. Catherine’s amazing. We watched her wedding and we thought it was beautiful,” he said.

West, who has his own women’s fashion line DW Kanye West, is not afraid to speak his mind, and dislikes it if Kardashian wears too much make-up.

“Kanye’s not afraid to say what he likes. He definitely likes the less-is-more look. Everyone wants to look good for their man, so Kim will listen and say, ‘Okay. I’ll go with what my boyfriend says’,” Scheppy added.

Ok, first off, no, everyone does not want to look good for their man. Sometimes people want to be comfortable, and sometimes people want to look how they want to look. I get wanting to get dressed up every now and again, but if your significant other would think less of you because of your makeup or your clothes, then maybe you should find a different significant other. Also, Kim’s been modeling and “designing clothes” for quite a while, and she’s basically famous because people thinks she looks good, so I think she’s got this whole area covered.

Besides, is anyone actually going to take Kanye seriously when it comes to fashion? Did everyone forget what his actual designs look like?

A photo of Robert Pattinson

“I woke up this morning and saw all these things about me being cast in The Hunger Games. I was kind of curious for a second. So I called my agent. My agent was like, ‘No.’ (My agent) was like ‘no one’s going to offer you that part.’ I was like, thanks for the reassurance.”

- Robert Pattinson addresses the rumors that he’s the top choice to play the role of Finnick in the second part of the Hunger Games trilogy, Catching Fire.

I bet this puts a lot of you at ease, huh? I know a whole lot of people were not too pleased when these rumors started up, and I can understand why. Not because I’ve finished Catching Fire yet – I’m a horrible person, I know, but also I lost my copy of the book and haven’t gotten around to getting another one yet – but because it would be absolutely ridiculous. That would mean that Robert Pattinson had a significant role in the Harry Potter movies, a starring role in the Twilight movies, and what I’m assuming is another significant role in the Hunger Games movies. That would mean that he’d be a sizable part of three of the biggest movie franchises from the past decade. And I really do love him, but, huh, he’s not all that.

So without giving away too much, who do you think would be the perfect actor to play Finnick?

A photo of Ashton Kutcher and Demi Moore

From The Mirror:

Demi Moore and Ashton ­Kutcher could be on course for a sensational reconciliation. The glamorous couple, whose break-up shocked Hollywood, have put their divorce plans on ice.

They met for the first time this week since Demi, 49, dumped her husband of six years and went into rehab after claims that he had cheated. The pair were locked in a 60-second embrace at the birthday party of the man who officiated at their wedding and friends are sure their feelings for each other are as strong as ever.

A source told the Sunday Mirror: “They are still desperately in love and could be on for a reconciliation. The divorce isn’t being processed right now.”

Demi had been laying down hints all week on Twitter that she could be ready to forgive and start from scratch. And Ashton, 34, had tears in his eyes as he made a speech at the party, declaring: “I’ve made all these horrendous mistakes in the last year.”

A guest at the 40th birthday bash for Kaballah Rabbi Yehuda Berg said: “Ashton’s voice started to break as he spoke. He just fell into tears. He sat down to a round of applause while Demi just looked ­frozen.”

Ashton had arrived at the InterContinental Hotel in Beverly Hills two hours before Indecent Proposal star Demi.

A guest said: “Ashton was there quietly socialising and Demi showed up a couple of hours later looking amazing. She went over to wish Yehuda a happy birthday and Ashton was right by him. Yehuda left them to talk. They started to chat and were extremely affectionate. She was ­staring at him like a love-sick puppy.”

The witness added: “They both sat at the front with a mutual friend between them. Demi got up to speak and spoke about family not necessarily being your blood but being people who love you. Then Ashton got up and he spoke about how amazing Yehuda was. He said that if Yehuda is your friend, he’ll love you unconditionally, no ­matter what mistakes you’ve made, before making the emotional admission that he had made mistakes. It was obvious he was referring to the break-up.”

Yeah, I checked out Demi’s Twitter to see all those hints, but surprisingly, I couldn’t find any, so I think I’m going to go ahead and say that this isn’t going to happen. I think the era of Demi and Aston is pretty much over, don’t you? Or could any of you see an upcoming reconciliation?

Jason Trawick, the lover and caretaker of Britney Spears, uploaded this video onto a website called Viddy. As you can see, it’s a message to Britney, telling her how proud he is of her for her new X Factor gig. It sounds kind of sweet, right? Nah, it’s really weird for a number of reasons.

Why are we even seeing this? Yes, it’s a sweet message, but wouldn’t it have been even sweeter if he had actually said this to her face? He said that “we just completed our first weekend in Austin on X Factor,” which, by the way, no, Jason, you didn’t complete anything on X Factor, and at the end of the video he said “now get back in here so we can go to sleep.” That makes it sounds like she’s just in the next room, right? Even if she wasn’t, even if they weren’t in the same state, he couldn’t make a phone call? This was a message that had to be posted online for everyone to see?

After all that Britney’s been through, you’d think that the people close to her would want to protect her, especially if she has so much anxiety over being in the public eye. If I were Britney’s man, I’d try to make things as private as possible. I’d have been like “look, baby, I ran a bubble bath for you because I know you’ve been working hard, and when you get done, I got all these rose petals to put on the bed, girl.” I’d have been like that during an actual conversation with her too, not on a video I posted online. Just to clear up any confusion.

And really, I don’t even want to see this. Look at his sleepy eyes, and listen to that tired voice. I never wanted to see Jason Trawick like this, and I’m sure no one else did either.

Meanwhile, Britney took the time to respond by sharing the link on her Facebook, along with an “Awww love you too Xoxo.” So maybe I’m just old-fashioned.

A photo of Amanda Bynes

No! Surely not! Amanda Bynes is a bright young lady who would never, ever in a million years break the law! Shame on all these vicious rumors!

Nah, you guys know I’m just joshin’ you. Amanda Bynes apparently did hit another car, and in a completely unsurprising move, she didn’t even stop.

From TMZ:

Amanda Bynes slammed into a car on the 101 Freeway in the San Fernando Valley on April 10 … then fled the scene — according to the victim who told cops the troubled actress was the culprit.

The culprit was driving a 5 series BMW at the time of the accident. The victim gave chase, got off the freeway, but the culprit blew a red light, never to be seen again. The victim was able to write down the license plate number.  She only got a profile view of the woman driving the BMW.

CHP showed up, ran the plate and determined it was a rental vehicle.  Officers told the victim the culprit was driving an Enterprise rental car.  The victim then contacted Enterprise, who told her the person who had rented the car was Amanda Bynes.

The victim then showed up at a CHP substation and ID’d Amanda from a photo lineup.  And get this … the photo of Amanda was taken just 4 days earlier — it was her mug shot from a DUI arrest.  Amanda was driving in West Hollywood on April 6 when she clipped a cop car and was immediately popped for DUI.

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ … the case was referred to a filing officer at the L.A. City Attorney’s Office who immediately rejected it because there was no independent witness fingering Amanda as the phantom driver.

Amanda was accused earlier this month of hitting a car in Hollywood and then fleeing the scene.  She told cops she did not feel the impact and was not ticketed.

Ok, so let’s break this down. Amanda hit her first car, a police car, in early April. Then, a few days after that, this new hit-and-run happened (allegedly). A few days after THAT, Amanda hit a curb while she was texting. Just, again, a few days later, she was spotted holding up traffic while she made a three-point turn in the middle of a busy street. She managed to keep it under control for a couple of weeks, but at the beginning of May, she hit yet another car and kept right on going because she hadn’t realized that she’d done it. As far as we know, Amanda hasn’t had another vehicular incident since, but at this point, it’s only a matter of time until her next accident.

Is there any reason why this girl still has her license? At this point, shouldn’t she be forced to hand over her keys, her license, and any other driving paraphernalia that she might have? Her court date for the original DUI is set for June 6th, so I guess we’ll see then. In the meantime, can someone get Amanda a chauffeur?

A photo of Brad Fischetti

Oh, Brad from LFO! What a misunderstood soul. Sure, he spends his free time chilling outside of abortion clinics, stopping complete strangers to talk to them about what they should do with their own bodies, and sure, he doesn’t have any idea what the people he’s talking to have been through. And yeah, when he’s done telling these people what they should do with their bodies, he talks about it on the internet and posts pictures of them. But he never did anything wrong, and everyone’s totally cool with what he’s doing, so let’s just lighten up!

From E! Online:

In a statement to E! News, Fischetti, 36, denies harassing any women outside the clinic, but he adamantly stands by his anti-abortion views and says he regrets not speaking out more when LFO was at the height of its fame.

“Most times I just pray,” he tells E! of his activities at the clinic. “And when I do speak, it’s only God’s Word and/or letting the girls and guys know that there are other options. That we are here if they need help or to talk or to pray. That we have people ready and waiting and willing to help.”

Fischetti says that he and his fellow abortion opponents offer women information about pregnancy crisis centers, where they can get free ultrasounds and other prenatal care.

“I don’t yell. I don’t judge. I just offer help if they want it and pray. Pray constantly,” he reiterated. Fischetti calls the abortion process “disgusting,” and believes that it was never intended to be “what it has become” when it was legalized.

“I really don’t care what people think of my stance against it,” Fischetti’s statement to us continued.  I may lose family and friends. But I am obligated to speak the truth. If I have a platform of 500 or 5,000, my job is to speak the truth…Although I regret not having stronger convictions when I had a platform, I wouldn’t change anything. I am content with who I am and where I am. I haven’t read what the other side is saying about me but I don’t care and I don’t judge them or anyone. I only want people to know the truth and I only want to help. And I’m content doing so in my little bubble in Orlando.”

Look, I’m sure Brad from LFO here doesn’t mean any harm. I’m sure that he has the best of intentions, and that he really, really cares about what he does. But if I was a woman walking into that clinic and a dude from a mediocre boy band stopped me and tried to tell me about my options and asked me if I wanted to pray? No. Just no. And if he posted a picture of me talking to someone I actually knew outside of the clinic on Twitter along with the caption that I’m in “the valley of decision”? It would get real ugly, you guys.

Oh, and just in case you’re curious, Brad’s at the clinic again today. He tweeted at 9:00 this morning that there were ” 20 girls lined up 4 abortions this AM.” Good to know, Brad, as always!
