Kanye West and Kim Kardashian receive boos as they arrive late to Lanvin show at Paris Fashion Week



Uh oh looks like another PR mishap for Kanye! The rapper lost it once again after receiving boos upon he and wife Kim Kardashian's arrival at the Lanvin PFW show. But in true Kanye style he heckled the crowd right back claiming Lanvin's creative director Alber Elbaz had asked to speak with them. This comes at a time when people may have been feeling for the power couple after Kim's unfortunate run in with celeb prankster Vitalii Seduik. The couple are rumoured to be stepping up their security after the incident left Mrs. Kardashian-West shaken.

WATCH: Jay Z and Beyonce 'Young Forever/Halo' From #OnTheRunHBO


Beyonce and Jay Z show an act of true unity with publication of Young Forever/Halo personal footage...


After keeping their relationship away from the eyes of the media for such a long time, recent years have seen Beyonce and Jay Z slowly share more and more of their lives together. Since sharing more of themselves through social media and documentaries, things had seemed rosy for the couple. This was until recent rumours of infidelity on both parts, as well as that infamous elevator incident which made Solange relevent for the first time in, well, ever. Nevertheless the couple still went on tour together with the rumours and gossip continuing to spread while they were on the road. 

Now Beyonce releases this snippet from their recent HBO doc of her and her husband performing together whilst images of their life are played on a grainy backdrop. For someone who was once so notoriously private and allegedley believes the likes of Kim K are crass in sharing so much of their private lives this is an interesting move, no? But perhaps Beyonce sees it as a chance to tell the world she is still in love with her family. Maybe she is showing the strength they have through the intimate moments of their own home movies, which include a marriage and a birth. 

Is this one final statement to silence the critics who believe their break-up is imminent or another publicity stunt to keep people from believing a well-oiled PR machine is on the verge of collapse? Perhaps only time will tell...Until then we can all enjoy this great mash-up and the big ball of cuteness that is Blue Ivy!

Review: Charli XCX's Break The Rules Music Video




Up until now she's played the voice behind the hit of Icona Pop's 'I Love It', cute sidekick for Iggy Azaelia's mega-hit 'Fancy' and soundtrack artist for The Fault In Our Stars theme 'Boom Clap'. But with new single 'Break The Rules', XCX graduates to full on star of her own tumblr saturated scenester show. Having bubbled under the surface for so long now, XCX is truly marking her territory with this catchy pop tune tinged with punk attitude. 

The video begins with Charli and her bad girl clique walking through the high school hallway, with all other students blurring into oblivion. The opening scene has obvious remnants of 90's staples such as 'Baby One More Time' but with darker elements that echo gothic cult classics such as 1996's The Craft.  What's clear is that these girls aren't the rich Beverley Hills it-girls we saw in the Clueless-inspired Fancy, but they sure are the type girls you want to party with. We then see XCX cavorting atop a bus (the first of many American culture cliche's) in an oversized leather and a pair of Ray-Ban's. The word is 'Sucker' scribbled onto the front of the vehicle, the name of XCX's imminant album. She's making quite the statement, she's here and she wants the top spot. 

The group make there way to the school bus. After strutting and pouting a few times the girls then take a detour to a local store aptly titled 'Trash Lingerie'. They all laugh as Queen Bee XCX tries on an array of Romi and Michelle-esque ensembles. After choosing the right dress to wear they head to the prom, another staple of the American high school experience. What's interesting about XCX is that, even though she's a British import, rather than capitalizing on her 'Cool Britannia' status she chooses to immerse herself in the glossy, polished US aesthetics. However, what makes this artist different to her UK contemporaries making it in America, is that it doesn't feel manufactured or industry-controlled, it's effortless. Such ease into the kitsch American image hasn't been seen since XCX's predecessor Marina and The Diamonds. 

While at the prom we are treated to a cameo from Charmed and Jawbreaker (another 90's teen classic) star Rose McGowan. Here though McGowan plays the role of 'The Chaperone'. This is perhaps a two edged sword. McGowan may have been an icon of her time, but now she is simply a sensible adult keeping an eye on XCX and her friends. The video finishes with one final homage to the American teen ideology as McGowan pours a bucket of pink paint on the debaucherous high schoolers. This is an obvious nod to the infamous pig blood scene in 70's classic Carrieone last element of pop culture to squeeze into the video. All in all Charli XCX offers a bright, fun, punk-pop video that only further cements her status as the coolest new kid on the block...

Top 10 Hollywood Good Girls Gone Bad

So we've seen it play out time and time again. They start off like butter wouldn't melt in their Disney-trained cookie cutter mouths. Then slowly but surely we see the mouse ears slip, and before you know it they're on a 5150 hold after one too many nights at the Chateau Marmont. 

Here's the 10 Best Hollywood Good Girl's Gone Bad, Enjoy!


10. Taylor Momsen


She got by on her mix of Cute n' Nerdy in The Grinch and Gossip Girl. But as her character on screen trailed on the eyeliner, Taylor found her inner faux-goth-rebel in real life too. After quitting acting and declaring herself a rockstar, Taylor officially said goodbye to Cindy Lou. Due to a lack of actual scandal apart from dissing scary bad girl Rihanna, Momsen comes at the bottom of the pile.

9.  Mischa Barton


With her trademark awkward smile and pechant for 00's denim mini skirts, Marissa Cooper was the girl everyone wanted next door. But when that fateful bullet killed our favourite troubled California girl, Mischa decided to go full bad girl for real. What came next was a string of DUI's, psychiatric holds and a career that never fully recovered. Hope you're okay now Coop! 

8. Mary-Kate Olsen


She was one half of the most famous twin tween double act. They truly were Two of A Kind, we saw them go to Paris, put their Dad on a billboard and cause mayhem in a New York Minute. But after the twins grew sick of their acting careers, trouble seemed to follow Mary-Kate. Rumours of entering rehab for cocaine abuse as well as a mysterious involvment in Heath Ledger's death meant the Olsen twin achieved fully fledged bad girl status. Thankfully Mary-Kate seems to have mellowed nowadays with older beau Olivier Sarkozy, Carrie and the Professor can breathe a sigh of relief!

7. Vanessa Hudgens


When we first witnessed Gabriella finding herself at East High in everyone's fave Disney Channel original movie who would have thought she'd make it on to this list. But then came indie-flick Spring Breakers and everyone, Troy included, never looked at Vanessa the same again. These days you can catch VH wearing an oversized hat and every item of jewellery she owns at Coachella. 

6. Demi Lovato/Selena Gomez


Joint 6th place goes to two former besties. While Selena was still considered everyone's favourite teen Wizard, Demi was going off the rails fast. With allegations of drug use and other personal troubles things weren't even looking Sonny with a Chance. But Demi bounced back and her career is better than ever. But while Demi's on top form it seems its now Selena's turn for a little bad girl action by firing her momager and getting back with bad boy/twat Justin Bieber. Watch this space! 

5. Christina Aguilera


Despite being a settled down family woman with a weakness for red lippy nowadays, let's not forget when Xtina was well and truly alive! It was a gradual process, a midriff baring croptop here, a cornrows hairstyle there, until BANG Christina got Dirrty, Filthy and Nasty, embracing her inner skank. Of course she eventually settled down but that didn't stop her getting a DUI in 2011, proving once you go bad you never go back. 

4. Amanda Bynes


Last year was a tumultuous one for Amanda. This included erratic behaviour such as throwing bongs out of windows, wearing dreadful wigs and tweeting Drake some, ahem, suggestive things. It all came to blows when Amanda was eventually sectioned after setting someones drive on fire. She seems to be doing better in recent months, enrolling in fashion college and keeping the Drake tweets at bay. We wish you luck Amanda (Please!). 

3. Miley Cyrus


She doesn't even need an introduction. The twerking, the tongue, the ball, the foam finger, the list goes on... maybe Hannah Montana should have stayed in Tennessee, but nowadays would we have Miles any other way? 

2. Britney Spears


In the lead up to her notorious breakdown, Britney teased us with snippets of bad girl behaviour including a marriage and snogging the Queen of Pop. However, 2007 is probably a year Ms. Spears would rather quickly forget. She shaved her head, lost custody of her kids, performed an infamous routine at the VMA's and was placed on 5150 hold with her assets being put in the control of her father. Now recovered but still reaping the mistakes of her past, Britney Bitch serves as a cautinary tale to young Hollywood. 

1. Lindsay Lohan


The number 1 spot goes to a girl that epitomizes the phrase 'All publicity is good publicity' and she's had a lot of publicity! With enough rehab visits, DUI's and not-so-classy nightclub exits to give all these girls a run for their money, this girl definitley deserves to be top of the list. She's recently tried to once again get on the straight and narrow and has bagged herself a stint on the West End, hopefully it all works out for LiLo, after all she can't help it if she's so popular.
