Take THAT, Academy!
The Screen Actors Guild honored a diverse pool of actors and artists Saturday night at the 2016 SAG Awards, giving two statues to Beasts of No Nation star Idris Elba, who didn't get so much as a nomination for the Oscars prize. His SAG Award for best supporting actor in the Netflix-produced film was accompanied by a prize for his role in the TV movie/miniseries category for Luther.
Orange Is the New Black took two awards -- one for best ensemble cast; the other for female actor Uzo Aduba; transgender-themed Transparent and The Danish Girl also won a prizes. African-American actress Viola Davis won for her role in How To Get Away With Murder for a second year in a row. Queen Latifah took the award for best actress in a TV miniseries/movie for her role in HBO's Bessie.
After Academy Award nominations were announced January 14, revealing the painful lack of diversity a the Oscars, the hashtag #OscarsSoWhite started trending and practically took over social media. Well last night, #SAGSoBlack took off. Let's hope the power of Twitter and Instagram can help to change things! How about #AcademySoAshamed ...

There are so many Kardashian feuds going on right now, we can hardly keep them all straight! And Amber Rose seems to be connected to all of it, in one way or another ...
Obviously there's her social media battle with Kanye West, in which he slammed Wiz Khalifa for getting "trapped by a stripper." Amber fought back, exposing her former lover's penchant for booty activity in bed -- HIS booty, not hers. Ouch!
Now, Kanye's apologized, saying he should have never gotten Amber's and Wiz's son Sebastian involved -- oh, and he clarified he "stays away from that [the booty] area." Thanks for clearing that up!
We spotted Amber out and about with her son today and asked if she's spoken with BFF Blac Chyna since the former stripper's arrest in Texas for public intoxication and she said they've spoken and Blac is doing well.
We then asked whether she likes Blac Chyna and Rob Kardashian as a couple and she told us, "Absolutely!" Well, they have Amber's vote, just not Kris Jenner's!

SOOOO much drama at The Nice Guy last night!
Kourtney showed up in her best cornrow braids at The Nice Guy Friday night and guess who arrived right after her? Her ex, French Montana! From what we can tell, Khloe hasn't been making those frequent flights to Houston to visit her baller boyfriend James Harden, so it seems that couple is dunzo. Khloe's attention and care of her estranged husband Lamar Odom after his overdose, put a strain on her relationship with the NBA star so maybe Khlo's looking a little closer to home for a boyfriend. French has been waiting in the wings for quite a while ... he wants IN on the Kardashian family, no doubt.
In other Kardashian dramz, Kourtney was dressed to the nines, on the lookout for hot hookup Justin Bieber. The Biebs frequents The Nice Guy and Kourt even came armed with Corey Gamble, a business associate/friend of Bieber's. We can see it now -- Corey's sitting in the booth with Kourtney and her sister, texting Bieber, trying to convince him to head over. Alas, no dice ... and no dic* for Kourtney. Meanwhile, estranged baby daddy Scott Disick was all smiles yesterday in Calabasas, as he chatted on his phone after lunch. The bad boy made an appearance on Klo's new show Kocktails With Khloe, so he's still somewhat friendly with the family, but it doesn't seem Kourtney's taken him back ... or that he's even TRIED to get her to take him back. He bought his bachelor pad and he's happy being single. Hence Kourt's courting of Bieber ...
And last, but not least, skinny supermodel Gigi Hadid showed up with a friend, who was NOT Zayn Malik. What's up with that? If this new boy wasn't so cute, we wouldn't be worried, but he's quite a looker. Where's Zayn???

Kendall Jenner and Kanye West were on the same flight from Paris, returning to LA from Fashion Week ... wonder what they talked about, sitting in their first-class seats, sipping Champagne.
We're guessing Kanye told Kendall he regrets involving Wiz Khalifa's and Amber Rose's son Sebastian into his beef with the rapper and his baby mama. And we're thinking Kendall probably spoke about her undying love for Harry Styles. Can you imagine the convo?!
Well, we asked them both about both of these topics when they landed (and left in separate cars ... haven't these people every heard of carpooling?) but apparently 1000 other photographers and fans had the same idea, so it was a bit of a cluster. Roll tape!

Kylie Jenner kept her sunglasses on as she went to dinner in the dark Friday night in Calabasas -- apparently she doesn't want people to see into the windows of her soul right now, particularly with brother Rob dating her boyfriend Tyga's baby mama Blac Chyna.
She's probably crying behind those lenses because it's sad enough that she's dating someone who got "trapped by a stripper," in the now infamous words of her brother-in-law Kanye, but now her own half-brother is dating that very same stripper just to piss off the family! Ahhhh, Kardashian drama!

When she decides to make headlines, she really knows how to do it! Blac Chyna -- Rob Kardashian's new love -- was arrested at the Austin, Texas airport for public intoxication Friday night. She was en route to London for a paid club appearance.
The former stripper apparently got drunk on her flight from LA to Austin -- and by the way, who the hell flies to London via Austin?! -- and was arrested when he she deplaned. She was also charged with possession of a controlled substance, less than 4 grams.
After her release, she immediately took to Snapchat to celebrate with fans, posting a video of herself drinking Coke, saying, "Did you guys miss me?" And Rob posted an Instagram of the couple's FaceTime convo. These two sure know how to tease their fans and foes!

Kris Jenner is trying to save her son Rob Kardashian from the clutches of Blac Chyma but her attempts at breaking up the bizarre new couple are proving futile.
Almost as soon as Blac Chyna headed to LAX, the hands-on mom of six took her Rolls Royce to see her son at Blac Chyna's gated home in Tarzana, Calif. on Friday. Blac Chyna caught a flight earlier today to do a club appearance in London -- so clearly Kris is trying to get her hooks back in Rob while his new lady love is out of town.
We are kind of amazed that Rob put her on the list -- it's a gated community so if he really wanted his mom out -- he could have prevented her from coming in.
The 65-year-old was only there briefly -- but it seems as though she's doing her best to be a wedge betwen Rob and the "model."
Earlier this week, Blac Chyna and Rob made waves when Tyga's ex posted a cuddly snap, which focused on an unknown man's arm. The Internet quickly recognized the tattooed limb as being Rob's and since then social media and blogs have been all over this new couple. Reports are brewing that all the Kardahian/Jenners are up in arms about the romance -- Khloe even kicked robbed out of her home because she's so upset with the pairing.

Zayn Malik's sexy solo single and video has just been released -- and it's way better than we were expecting. The video, "Pillowtalk," features Zayn's rumored girlfriend Gigi Hadid and it is H-O-T.
The former boybander stars in the music video, which is directed by Bouha Kazmi, and has plenty of makeout seshs with the blonde supermodel. Joe Jonas who?
The 23-year-old recently called Hadid his "good friend" during an interview with Beats 1 Radio, but this looks like way more than friends -- maybe if he means: tongue friends, friends who bang, bone-zone friends.
Malik left One Direction in March 2015 and has caused quite a stir since his dramatic exit from the internationally famous boy band.
Meanwhile, Hadid has been making headlines all week, strutting her stuff on the catwalk during Paris Fashion Week. But the gorgeous gal is back in Los Angeles, landing in the City of Angels yesterday and driving directly from the airport to see her mother, Yolanda Foster, and to be by her side. Wearing a long white coat, black leggings and a YSL purse, Hadid headed into her mom's new apartment building right after touching down on Thursday.
