To start off -- let's backtrack ... you may know Ariana Grande filed suit against Forever 21 the other day for what she says was the retailer's attempt to profit off her look and the success of her last album 7 Rings. The claim says Forever 21 used models that look like Ariana in replicated clothing that looks like outfits she's worn after the company tried to ink a partnership with her but was unwilling to pay "fair market value" for the proposed association with the hitmaker. She's seeking $10 million in damages.
So there's that ... and clearly they did copy Ariana -- I mean, the puff-ball headband? The high ponytail? Seriously ...
Now not so seriously -- or maybe it is -- drag queen Farrah Moan of RuPaul's Drag Race fame says Ariana's the copycat! She claims Grande knocked off her look, as seen below, and questions whether it's okay to steal from "queer artists for profit." Dang! Answer THAT, Ariana!
Ariana should give me a cut of that 10M since her team literally sent a pic of me to the designer and paid them to copy my look from as4. (Finally met the designer and got told the Tea) I guess stealing from queer artists for profit is fine tho 🤷ðŸ¼â€â™€ï¸ pic.twitter.com/1smGr8K4G0

Bring' back the bustier! Khloe Kardashian busted out a pink bustier -- and in fact, she was bustin' out of it!
The tall "blonde" wore a pink satin bustier with baggy boyfriend jeans to the studio, on Tuesday, carrying a vintage Louis Vuitton bag and wearing light pink suede pumps.
Khloe's been the butt (pun intended) of many, many jokes as of late regarding her enlarged lips. The reality TV star recently clapped back at fans who criticize her for going overboard with lip injections. Khlo posted a sponsored photo on Instagram for a skin care line but commenters were quick to point out she's gone "overboard with the fillers." Apparently KK wasn't too happy -- or, more likely, her sponsors weren't too keen on the criticism -- so she turned off the comments on the post. Ouch!
"Hope you find time to read this it’s from my heart," Justin Bieber captioned this post. Read it and weep -- literally.
Biebs continues to open up about his struggles -- struggles with drug use, his emotions, growing up in the public eye, fame, anxiety, depression, etc., etc. Because they all tend to go hand-in-hand, right?
Justin posted this revealing, emotional message on Instagram, explaining why his issues stem from an unstable home life during his younger childhood, his quick rise to fame, and how having people around him handle everything all the time made him an ill-equipped adult. He also explains how his marriage to Hailey Baldwin and his faith are saving him.
He starts out: "I started doing pretty heavy drugs at 19 and abused all my relationships... I became resentful, disrespectful to women … hiding behind a shell of a person that I had become." He goes on, "It’s taken me years to bounce back from all of these terrible decisions, fix broken relationships, and change relationship habits. Luckily, God blessed me with extraordinary people who love me for me. Now I am navigating the best season of my life ‘MARRIAGE’ !!"
So God, therapy and Mrs. Bieber have helped put Justin on the right path and now he's focused on his new Drew House clothing line and his new pet kitty cat. Speaking of revealing posts ...

She's not an empty-nester yet! After dropping off son Maddox at his new college in South Korea, Angelina Jolie's back home with the rest of her brood and enjoying every moment with her youngin's before they all fly the coop!
Zahara, Shiloh, and Pax joined their mom for a fancy lunch at West Hollywood's Fig & Olive, on Monday. As the rest of the country enjoyed back yard BBQs and Labor Day parties, Angie and her clan dined out -- probably because they knew the restaurant would be empty!

Check this out! Some random fan girls tries to actually GET INTO JUSTIN'S VAN!
Justin -- always the nice guy -- politely tells her to get out :)
But besides the stalker girl, what we were really looking at was Justin's outfit -- he's definitely trying to bring back the baggy pants trend, but seriously, he risks losing his pants!
If you're a hot new performer doing a set at Roc Nation's Made in America festival, whose attention would you be MOST flattered to have? BEYONCE AND JAY Z'S, of course!!!!
And in fact, Lizzo said she lost her "f-ing mind" over the power couple's eyes on her performance Sunday as the pair watched from backstage at the annual Labor Day festival in Philadelphia ... on Bey's almost-birthday, no less! Knowles celebrated 38 years a little early (her actually birthday's Sept. 4) with pals presenting her with a cake backstage and singing HBD to the diva ...
Brad Pitt and Kanye West -- when worlds collide! Who woulda thought Brad Pitt would show up at Kanye's Sunday Service?! We were expecting Justin Bieber!
Brad turned up at Ye's surprise Sunday Service session in Watts yesterday, during Labor Day weekend, to worship with the people in the streets.
Fans took pix and TMZ reports it's actually the SECOND time Pitt has attended service.
Kim Kardashian posted video of the Sunday Service Watts pop-up and it appeared to be a rousing event ... Ye led the crowd and his choir in a religious version of Tupac's "California." Watch! ...

Actor/comedian Kevin Hart was in a serious car accident early Sunday morning in which a friend who was driving careened off the road into a ditch in Hart's 1970 Plymouth Barracuda. Hart and the driver, Jared S. Black, both suffered major injuries in the accident on Mulholland Highway. Black and his fiancee Rebecca Broxterman -- Hart's wife Eniko Hart's personal trainer, were both trapped in car while Hart went for help.
The Jumanji actor, 40, is currently hospitalized and undergoing tests to determine if he'll need surgery to repair his back. TheBlast reports doctors are optimistic Hart will make a full recovery.
The police report says Black was tested for intoxication and found not to have alcohol or drugs in his system. He was pinned in his seat by the crushed car roof and the fire department had to free him -- he was airlifted to UCLA Medical Center.
Hart gifted himself the vintage muscle car for his 40th birthday -- it has a Hellcat V-8 Hemi engine. Just hours before the accident, the Night School star posted an Instagram Story video in which he revved the engine and screeched the tires. The person shooting the video is heard telling Keving to "cool out."
