Hey, Kimye have friends in high places ... all the way to President Trump in the White House! So when friend and fellow rapper A$AP Rocky was arrested and jailed in Sweden, Kanye and his wife went all the way to the top to try to help. The power couple have reportedly "lobbied" the President to help with A$AP's release after being held now for two weeks on assault charges.
Most would argue the rapper is being held unfairly in relation to a street fight captured on video on June 30. After A$AP's bodyguard tried to fend off an oddly aggressive fan, Rocky eventually stepped in to tell the dude to get away.
So Kim reportedly picked up the phone and called Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner to see what he could do. Seems Ivanka's hubby wasn't too busy negotiating peace in the Middle East, so he said he'd help but was unable to connect with A$AP's peeps. Come on, Rocky, tell your staff to answer the damn phone when the White House calls!
The State Department previously raised concerns about Rocky's detention, urging Sweden to treat the rapper "fairly." Reports claim he's being held in solitary confinement.
A$AP's lawyer Alan Jackson, says, "President Trump has made bringing home unjustly held Americans a top priority for his administration. The State Department's interest in the case gives us great hope for Rocky's situation."

Don't try to tell Khloe Kardashian how she feels about baby daddy Tristan Thompson, 'cause if you do, she'll set you STRAIGHT!
The reality star/denim maven corrected an online commenter who posted about Khloe "hating" Tristan. A fan posted a side-by-side photo of the former couple's daughter True and remarked on the little tyke's likeness to Tristan. The poster wrote, "I know Khloe hates Tristan, but baby True starting to look just like him."
Well Khlo saw it and she clapped right back! She wrote, "Why would I ever hate anyone who helped create such an angel? People make mistakes, but I won’t hurt my own healing by holding on to hate. I’m too busy raising my beautiful baby and securing that [money] to hate any individual. Sweet True has always looked like her daddy. She’s beautiful!!"
Seriously, the KarJenner clan has had some much sh*t to deal with in their love lives with cheating and lying and so much more and yet they always get rid of the hate and keep love at the forefront. They forgive and move on to keep a positive vibe going and despite all the other criticism we could launch against the family, this is one area we won't tough because they have big hearts!

Is Hailey Baldwin DONE with modeling?!
The supermodel hinted at not being happy with a recent catwalk performance on her Instagram Story on Wednesday and it's left fans wondering ... is she quitting?
Hails has been seen on runways from Dolce & Gabbana to Off-White to Tommy Hilfiger and more. But apparently her performance on the runway has been bugging her because the pic she shared on Insta is from last year's Zadig & Voltaire Fall/Winter 2018 show. She circled her arm and gave herself notes on why the placement was wrong, writing, "What I do know, is that ur arm truly should never swing this high when ur walking on a runway.. hence why it is not, and will never be my thing again lol."
NEVER AGAIN?! Sounds like she's done with runway, at least -- but we have a feeling she'll continue to do plenty of print modeling. She's gorgeous and confident and successful, why would she stop?

This is pretty funny ... Cardi B and hubby Offset break down the lyrics of their new hit "Clout" with Jimmy Kimmel serving as translator, converting the couple's phrases into old-people language so they can understand rap.
The former stripper showed off her curves in a full-length tie-dye bodysuit with a pretty large "keyhole" cutout at the cleavage as she arrived with the adorably Migos rapper. Fans went wild for Cardi outside Kimmel's studio and audience members loved the lyrics bit, but loved the final performance of "Clout" even more. Check 'em out!
Now Kylie's promoting Scott Disick's stuff! The makeup maven is on a luxury trip with her pals, including Scott's girlfriend Sofia Richie, in the Turks and Caicos, Instagramming up a storm, promoting her new skincare line Kylie Skin. But yesterday the young billionaire threw up a pic for her collab with almost-brother-in-law Scott Disick and his Talentless clothing line. There's always something to advertise when you're a KarJenner ... even if you're just promoting yourself!
Speaking of promoting yourself, Kylie is taking every opportunity on this trip to remind us how hot she is -- plenty of bikinis and boobs ...
At the end of the day, it's a family affair ... Kylie brought along daughter Stormi and, though he's never pictured, Travis Scott is there in the shadows, enjoying a WORKING vacation!

Like mother, like daughter! Beyonce cast daughter Blue Ivy in the music video for "Spirit" from the new Lion King soundtrack and fans are going crazy over the tyke's cameo in the clip.
The 7-year-old poses with mom just like a shot from the live-action remake of the Disney classic in which Simba cuddles up to father Mufasa on Pride Rock.
Beyonce voices the character of Nala in the film and served as executive producer on the soundtrack. She calls the album, "a love letter to Africa." She says, "This is sonic cinema. This is a new experience of storytelling. I wanted to do more than find a collection of songs that were inspired by the film. It is a mixture of genres and collaboration that isn’t one sound. It is influenced by everything from R&B, pop, hip hop and Afro Beat."

Newlyweds Chris Pratt and Katherine Schwarzenegger are building their dream home! And it looks like this mansion's got enough bedrooms to accommodate Chris' son Jack and a whooooole bunch more kids!
Chris, 40, and Katherine, 29, and in full-on construction mode at their new Pacific Palisades property. Roof tiles are being laid, the pool is being dug, electrical is being wired and Kate's spending her days at tile stores and in interior design meetings.
X17online can report exclusively that Chris and Kate's new home will be 10,000 square feet including a separate pool house in their expansive back yard, a home gym, movie theater, wine cellar, 5 bedrooms and 6 bathrooms.
The couple purchased the property for a whopping $15.6 million last summer! It's a massive remodel which added square footage and saw the entire home gutted and redone. The home has city and ocean views and is about a 15-minute drive from Chris' ex-wife Anna Faris and Katherine's parents Arnold Schwarzenegger and Maria Shriver (who live separately, of course -- but within minutes of each other in nearby Brentwood).
Estimated completion for the project is the end of the year so if all goes well, the family will get to spend the holidays in their new home!

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry were met by plenty of Hollywood A-listers at last weekend's Lion King premiere in London -- Beyonce and Jay Z weren't the only ones!
In addition to Queen Bey, Meghan met singer Pharrell Williams who stopped to chat with the Royal couple and interestingly, the "Happy" singer took that as an opportunity to make a DEEP statement about how he feels about Meghan and Harry's union!
He says to them, "I'm so happy for your union. Love is amazing. Love is beautiful. Don't ever take that for granted. But what it means in today's climate, I just wanted to tell you it's so significant for many of us ... we cheer you guys on."
This is the coolest sh*t we've seen in a while! He planned this, he scripted it, he put it out there -- his real, true, honest feelings ... and why not?! So many people agree with what he said that it's nice to be able to tell the Duke and Duchess who important their union is for our culture right now, in this social-politicial atmosphere that isn't always accepting and tolerant.
