After all that plastic surgery, you'd think Iggy Azalea would feel a little bit more comfortable in her skin, but apparently not! The 25-year-old rapper/singer chatted with Australia's Today Show and revealed that she still struggles to accept her body.
Iggy told host Richard Wilkins:
"Some days I want to crawl into a cave because I don't feel confident at all, and then other days I feel great. I think maybe feeling confident or 100 percent every day is something to aspire to, but I don’t know if it’s humanly possible for anybody. I think it’s just having that honest moment with yourself and other people, and almost admitting and embracing that your flaws are the thing about you that you sometimes feel bad about but they can empower your own self."
Iggy confirmed last March that she had a boob job, and last month she debuted a dramatically different look at the 2015 Billboard Music Awards in Las Vegas. Iggy didn't confirm it, but according to a source for Us Weekly, Iggy got both a nose augmentation and a chin implant!
"She loves the results!" an insider told the mag. "She wasn't happy with her nose for a long time, so after the boobs she wanted to get that taken care of and then got the chin done at the same time."
We applaud Iggy for her honesty, but hopefully she doesn't go the Heidi Montag route with her enhancements!

We all make mistakes, but this had to be embarrassing!
Kim Kardashian complained about her favorite Giorgio Armani foundation being discontinued on Twitter yesterday, and the reality star accidentally spelled the designer's name 'Georgio,' so the fashion house corrected her! Armani's camp sent back a nice response, letting the E! starlet know that they could send her more of her favorite product, but they took the opportunity to point out her misspelling.
"Why did Georgio Armani discontinue my favorite foundation??? I'm on my last bottle & everyone I know uses this!!! Please make it again!" Kanye's wife wrote. "@KimKardashian Dear Kim - let us know which one you need and we'll send it to you. And Mr. Armani's first name is Giorgio," they responded. Zing!
The Keeping Up with the Kardashians star was probably mortified, so she thought about how to explain it and then decided to blame it on pregnancy brain! "Thank you so much and my apologies on the spelling error, this expecting Mommy is a tad sleep deprived. ;-)" she wrote back.
We have to hand it to her for being so quick on the comeback!

Miley Cyrus has been getting all sorts of attention for her armpit hair and Caitlyn Jenner art, but on Tuesday evening she turned heads for a different reason.
Not only was she honored with amfAR's Inspiration Award alongside Bravo star Andy Cohen, but the 22-year-old pop star brought pal Tyler Ford as her date, whom she describes as "a queer, biracial, agender person, whose pronouns are they/them/theirs." The two shared a few smooches on the red carpet and held hands during the event, and Miley also caught everyone's attention when she showed off her armpit hair.
When Miley went onstage to accept her award, she was moved to tears, and she addressed her parents in the crowd. "I'm happy to have you here and I just want to tell you how much I love you," she said as she looked at them from the podium. "I just want to tell my parents I hope this makes them proud and somehow makes up for all the sh*t that I do all the time. You are two of the most selfless people and you have taught me and all my siblings how important it is to be there for those who need us and how important it is to care about other people and their lives so thank you for making me like that."
"People say that they don't choose their family but I choose my family every time and I think that even if you weren't my mom and dad I hope we'd still be in the room together looking for a cure," she continued. "There are so many people around the world that deserve this recognition. They've dedicated their lives to finding a cure for those living with HIV and AIDS, and they've used their voices to speak out against the brutal and unfair condemnation and the abominable stigma that comes with this disease. And by receiving this award tonight, I promise to continue to fight along … for a cure for this epidemic."
Miley also offered up her Caitlyn Jenner artwork at the auction, and the pieces ended up fetching $69,000. All in all, it sounds like it was a pretty awesome evening for the starlet! Now, if only we could get her to shave her underarms...

Rachel Dolezal may have stepped down as the president of the Spokane, Washington NAACP chapter after allegedly lying about her race, but she still claims to be African American. Dolezal's latest bombshell? During an interview with NBC’s Savannah Guthrie on last night's Nightly News segment she proclaimed that there's “no biological proof†as to who her real parents are.
“When someone asks, 'Are you black?’ — which I actually don’t get asked very often until recently, since a few days ago — I say, ‘Yeah, I am black,’†she said. “I know who raised me. I haven’t had a DNA test. There’s been no biological proof that Larry and Ruthanne are my biological parents. I’m not necessarily saying that I can prove they’re not, but I don’t know that I can actually prove they are. I mean the birth certificate was issued a month and a half after I’m born. Certainly there were no medical witnesses to my birth. It was in the woods.â€
Ummm, on a scale of 1-10, just how batsh*t crazy is this woman?!
“I definitely am not white,†Dolezal continued. “Nothing about being white describes who I am. So, you know, what’s the word for it? The closest thing that I can come to is if you’re black or white, I’m black. I’m more black than white. On a level of values, lived experience currently. In this moment, that’s the answer. That’s the accurate answer from my truth. But I hope the dialogue continues to push against, ‘What is race? What is ethnicity?’â€
When asked about her appearance, Dolezal said, “I don’t know necessarily if my skin color has changed. It depends on the season, right?…Some days I’ll have bronzer or a glow or other days, I don’t.†Dolezal also told Guthrie she’s “experimented†with her hair while living in Mississippi, but that she’s never had any “surgeries or anything like that†to darken her skin.
So what's next? Dolezal said she’s going to “need to do a little regrouping and be able to process the implications now as I move forward.†We're curious to see how many more interviews she agrees to do during this regrouping period...

A pregnant Kim Kardashian -- just barely showing a tiny baby bump, joined sister Khloe and Kourtney at an in-store appearance at their West Hollywood Dash boutique, on Tuesday.
Kim looked amazing in a matching fringed top and mini-skirt, topped off with a denim jacket, while Khloe looked like a goddamn Dash doll, y'all! I mean, a literal DOLL! The big, curly blonde hair, sleek, monochromatic black outfit and bright red Hermes Birkin bag made her look like the best damn Barbie doll we've ever seen!
And let's not forget Kourtney -- sporting a black jumpsuit with sexy cut-outs, the mother-of-three looking pretty amazing after giving birth to son Reign only months ago.
The trio had the E! camera crew in tow, as usual, for the visit. The girls were shooting a scene for an upcoming episode of Keeping Up With the Kardashians, continuing the storyline about finding new Dash dolls for the store. Hmmm ... do we feel a spin-off coming???

They may have had a falling out in their past, but Taylor Swift and Selena Gomez are once again thick as thieves. The two besties did some shopping together and then grabbed a light lunch in Los Angeles today.
Taylor showed off her serious stems in a pair of tiny shorts and a graphic t-shirt with the words, "This Is My Fight Shirt." The stylish star also carried Louis Vuitton x Christian Louboutin bag, which is a favorite accessory for Angelina Jolie. And umm is Tay wearing sexy lederhosen or a sex harness?
Selena highlighted those bodacious curves of hers with some form-fitting white leggings and a cropped '50s-style button-down shirt.
We love these gals, but definitely not our fave looks for either of these ladies!

The only thing he loves more than supermodels is nicotine!
Leonardo DiCaprio is currently in Switzerland for Art Basel, and the actor can't seem to go anywhere without his Mod vape box! The Wolf of Wall Street star was puffing away on his rechargeable device as he checked out the exhibits, and while we applaud the fact that he's given up traditional cigarettes, we feel an obligation to tell him that it's been proven that vaping is no better for his health!
We guess he's having a better reaction to the Mod box than Nicorette patches! The Hollywood lothario previously admitted that he had an adverse reaction to the smoking cecessation aid when he first tried quitting. “When I take nicotine patches I have blood curdling nightmares of murder. Mass murders. I wake up in the middle of the night and have to take them off. I don’t really remember my dreams that much apart from then. I don’t know what that means about me from a psychological point of view but that’s the truth," he told media outlets in 2010.
At least Leo's honest about his addiction, unlike the hundreds of other celebrities that we could out as secret smokers. Anyways, moving on...
Leo recently donated a John Gerrard installation to the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, and the artist is showing a similar piece at Art Basel, via London's Thomas Dane Gallery. With Leo's name attached, we bet it will fetch a pretty penny. That is, if the actor/humanitarian hasn't already snapped it up!
One thing the bearded hunk has snapped up? His hot new Sports Illustrated swimsuit model girlfriend Kelly Rohrbach!
