Billie Eilish IS gonna do it her way because ... it's the only way! The alt-pop star took to social media to defend herself against online trolls who criticized, fetishized and made every other sorta comment on a photo of her in a tank top that circulated online (which we can no longer find, by the way). And this is how she did it ... with the above meme and the below Instagram Story video ... of her laughing ... and laughing ... and laughing ...
In the Calvin Klein ad she did, she "spoke her truth" about how her famously baggy clothing liberates her: "That’s why I wear baggy clothes -- nobody can have an opinion because they haven't seen what’s underneath. Nobody can be like, ‘she’s slim-thick,’ ‘she’s not slim-thick,’ ‘she’s got a flat ass,’ ‘she's got a fat ass.’ No one can say any of that because they don't know.†Watch ...
Well, in a random pairing of the day, we know Camila Cabello's a supporter!

If there's one thing Ariana Grande is ... it's honest! (And a million other things like beyond talented and funny and sweet and charming and cute, etc., etc.)
The singer spoke to Vogue magazine recently and, of course, was asked about her incredibly tough time as of late, making it through Mac Miller's death, a broken engagement with Pete Davidson, and of course all of that coming off the Manchester disaster the year before. She tells the mag, "I'm a person who's been through a lot and doesn't know what to say about any of it to myself, let alone the world. I see myself onstage as this perfectly polished, great-at-my-job entertainer, and then in situations like this I'm just this little basket-case puddle of figuring it out."
She said, of being on tour after all of this immense hardship, "... it's hard to sing songs that are about wounds that are so fresh. It's fun, it's pop music, and I'm not trying to make it sound like anything that it's not, but these songs to me really do represent some heavy sh*t."
And that's what caused her to break down during a recent performance of the single "R.E.M." in St. Louis -- watch ...
Before putting her head in her hands she has difficulty making her way through the lyrics, "Before you speak, don’t move / ’Cause I don’t wanna wake up.â€
Fans were, of course, concerned, so Ariana released a statement on Twitter but for some reason, ended up deleting it. It read ...
“I feel everything very intensely and have committed to doing this tour during a time in my life when I’m still processing a lot…so sometimes I cry a lot! I thank you for accepting my humanness. I’m not sure what I did to deserve to meet so many loving souls every night / to feel so much love, but I want you to know that it really does carry me through. I feel it and appreciate it. and all of you [so] much. I want you to know that if you are hurting, you can push through and are not alone. It is hard to balance taking care of the people around you, doing your job, and healing / taking care of yourself at the same time…but I want you to know, you aren’t alone and I think you’re doing great. love you.â€
Stay strong, Ariana and if you can't ... Arianators are right there for you!
How cute is this couple? Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis must have learned this in mommy-and-me class and clearly Mila was paying more attention in class that Ashton because he hardly knows the lyrics to "La Vaca Lola," a rendition of which he posted to Instagram yesterday.
Parents to Dimitri, 2, and Wyatt, 4, the celeb couple don't often post photos or videos of themselves but they recently shared a hilarious video in which they went along with a tabloid headline claiming they were breaking up. Who knew they were such a funny pair?1

More tea! Kardashian bestie Larsa Pippen is spilling it and it's goooood!
The Basketball Wives star, estranged wife of baller Scottie Pippen, says she could see the cheating scandal between Khloe's baby daddy Tristan Thompson and Kylie's BFF Jordyn Woods brewing ...
Pippen spoke with Hollywood Unlocked and explains but saying, "... there were other situations where [Jordyn and Tristan] were in the same room together and it was like, a weird feeling. And Kourtney was in that room ...I called Kim. She didn’t believe me — she was like, ‘No way. There’s no way,’ †Pippen said. “Then we called Kourtney and Kourtney was like, ‘Yeah, I believe it."
Whoa!
Woods, 21, denied having sex with Thompson, 28, when she spoke to family friend Jada Pinkett Smith on the actress' Red Table Talk back in February, just after the scandal broke. She claims the two just kissed and that Tristan made the advances and that she was shocked when it happened.
When Unlocked was about to publish the story earlier that month, the site's Jason Lee contacted Larsa to let her know what was about to go down which is why she was the one charged with calling the family the break the news. Not a fun situation! We're curious to see if Larsa's got more info she'll drip drop piecemeal to the press to draaaaawwwww this story out ...

Khloe Kardashian is fighting back after haters called her "materialistic" and out of touch for posting this video of daughter True playing in a toy Bentley. One commenter wrote, "Great, another Kardashian in a Bentley. You guys are so oblivious to how your excessive spending looks to the outside world. I really loved your family’s story and now just can’t bare to watch as you spend all this money on worthless materialism. It’s so sad."
Khloe went on the defensive, responding, "Yes, I do choose to my spoil my daughter. I want to spoil her with love and as well as material items. She will also be raised with values, responsibilities, chores, respect, self love… We all work hard and we are able to spend our money in the way that we choose. I hope that’s what comes across to "the outside world," to lead with love about anything else."
Speaking of love, Khloe talks about loving her body the way it is -- after some hard work! -- on the Season 3 premiere of Revenge Body, featuring a guest appearance by non other than mom Kris! Check it out in case you missed it last night ...

Mike Tyson sent the US Women's National Team a big congrats on their World Cup win when we caught up with him at LAX, on Sunday. And then we asked him about Lil Nas X's fight challenge -- yep, the newly-out "Old Town Road" rapper issued a challenge to heavyweight champ Mike Tyson to meet him in the ring -- a la Justin Bieber to Tom Cruise. And he did it in the funniest way (see his Insta below). What did Mike have to say about it? Watch!
After TONS of backlash for her line of underwear called "Kimono," Kim Kardashian has given her first interview on the subject and has announced she'll relaunch the brand with a new name.
Following criticism for appropriating Japanese culture with the name, connoting a traditional Japanese robe, the reality star/entrepreneur is now telling the Wall Street Journal Magazine she and her team didn't consider carefully enough how people might feel about that name. She said, "... there might be more eyes on me and my brand. And so I have to tune it out and really learn and really grow and have to realize that maybe there is a different standard. Do I feel held to a higher standard? I’ll take responsibility for that and do the right thing."
She had previously told People magazine, "You would think we would have obviously thought it through a little bit deeper. I’m the first person to say, ‘Okay, of course, I can’t believe we didn’t think of this.’ I obviously had really innocent intentions. But, let’s listen. And I want to really listen. And I want to really take it all in."
She publicly announced in the above Instagram post the other day, that she'd be changing the name of the line, writing: "Being an entrepreneur and my own boss has been one of the most rewarding challenges I’ve been blessed with in my life," she started in the caption of her Instagram. "What’s made it possible for me after all of these years has been the direct line of communication with my fans and the public. I am always listening, learning and growing—I so appreciate the passion and varied perspectives that people bring to me. When I announced the name of my shapewear line, I did so with the best intentions in mind. My brands and products are built with inclusivity and diversity at their core and after careful thought and consideration, I will be launching my Solutionwear brand under a new name. I will be in touch soon. Thank you for your understanding and support always."
