Kim and Khloe Kardashian met with Armenian Prime Minister Hovik Abrahamyan on Thursday as a part of their ancestral homeland tour.
The sisters were greeted be hoards of screaming fans in Yerevan as they made their way to the government building, and Kim tweeted yesterday, "We're so grateful to be here & start this journey of a lifetime! Thank u everyone who greeted us ... I can't wait to explore our country and have some yummy food! My husband and daughter came to Armenia as well to see my heritage and learn about my ancestors! My cousins came along too! So excited I can't sleep."
Though the Kardashians have not commented on the anniversary of the genocide, which takes place on April 24, the government said in a statement, "The Kardashians apologized for not speaking Armenian but said they are learning their native language ... They pledged to continue the struggle for international recognition and condemnation of the Armenian genocide."
The Kardashians plan to visit the town of Gyumri, where relatives of her dad reportedly live, and they will also stop by the genocide memorial in Yerevan and Armenia's National Archives to see documents about her ancestors. Kim and Khloe are being followed around by a camera crew, but it's not clear if this footage will air on Keeping Up With The Kardashians or if it will be part of a separate documentary.

The Brangie brood's about to get a little bigger!
Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt are in the process of adding another daughter to their family, Us Weekly reports. "They want to adopt a little girl from Syria," a source revealed to Us Weekly. Not only that, but they're already taking the necessary steps to make it happen. "It's in the works," the insider added.
Hollywood's biggest power couple is already parents to Maddox, 13, Pax, 11, Zahara, 10, Shiloh, 8, and twins Knox and Vivienne, 6. The A-list actress recently revealed that she underwent a preventative procedure to remove her ovaries, so expanding their family biologically isn't a possibility any longer.
The Unbroken director has visited the warn torn nation she intends to adopt a child from six times since 2012, and she is extremely invested in the well being of its people as a special envoy for the UN. "Meeting these children was a heartrending experience. Their childhood has been hijacked," she previously confessed during her work in refugee camps.
They have love to give and the means to do it, so we think this is so touching!

As a source revealed to the mag that, "Bravo wants Teresa back," for hit show's seventh season.

We hadn't seen Kristen Stewart and girlfriend Alicia Cargile together in a while, but just less than 24 hours after the actress returned to Los Angeles, the ladies went for a coffee run. You know what that means -- a little caffeine to start the day after a long night of catching up!
When K. Stew arrived at LAX on Tuesday night she ignored questions from photographers about ex-boyfriend Rob Pattinson's engagement to FKA Twigs, and we doubt he'll be getting a congrats from the starlet anytime soon. Rob and FKA Twigs have only been dating for six months, and in the months before that there were tons of rumors that Rob and K. Stew were trying to patch things back up. That's gotta hurt! Probably not as bad as it hurt Rob when he found out Kristen was cheating on him with her Snow White and the Huntsmen director, but hey...
We just wanna know when K. Stew plans on bringing Alicia as her date to a red carpet event! It's about time...and a few months ago K. Stew's friends were urging the actress to come out with their relationship!
In other news, K. Stew recently chatted with Conan O'Brien about dressing up as a dude for pal Jenny Lewis' music video. The vid came out last year, but who could forget the Kristen rocking a mustache, an Adidas track suit and Bieber-esque hair? Click the clip below to see what she had to say about it!

Jennie Garth and her hunky boyfriend Dave Abrams are engaged!
The two recently celebrated her 43rd birthday at the Dreams Tulum Resort & Spa in Mexico, and it seems like that's where he popped the question! Reps for the pair confirmed the news, and a source close to the couple told People, "Dave had been working on this for months, and really wanted to plan something special for her around her birthday and make it perfect." Aww!
The pair have only been dating for a few months, but after seeing photos of them on vacation, it seems like they're totally smitten with one another. They took a trip to Santa Barbara in March, and that was around the time Jennie's ex-husband Peter Facinelli got engaged to girlfriend Jamie Alexander. Garth and Facinelli share three daughters together: Luca, 17, Lola, 12, and Fiona, 8.

On Wednesday night Ariana Grande performed at The Forum in Inglewood, California, and Justin Bieber made a surprise appearance for "Love Me Harder," and he also sang his own tunes, "As Long as You Love Me," and "Where Are U Now." Scooter Braun manages both of the stars and Bieber joined Ariana onstage last month in Miami so this isn't a shock, but we WERE stunned to see how handsy the Biebs got with Ariana!
UPDATE:
While it was initially reported that Ariana's main squeeze, Big Sean, was furious over the onstage PDA, his team is denying that there's any drama. There was a screen capture of a tweet that appeared to come from Big Sean's Twitter account that read, "This kid is about to learn not to touch my girl like that. Beliebe that," but his publicist claims the tweet is fake. No word on who put it out there in the first place, but TMZ posted a picture of it, and other websites posted a different tweet from an account that appeared to be Big Sean's. The other tweet was a photo of Bieber all over Ariana with Big Sean seemingly writing, "Wow."
The last time Justin joined Ariana onstage he totally messed up the lyrics to "Love Me Harder," and this time he was able to get through the whole song without any screw ups. Before the show, JB tweeted, "What should I do tonight? Hmmmm" and after he added, "Love the stage. Thanks for having me @ArianaGrande and thanks LA. Gotta tour again soon :)"

Kim Kardashian, Kanye West and their daughter Nori (plus Khloe!) jetted in to Armenia last night, and when they arrived on Wednesday, fans and photographers went WILD at the airport.
Our photographer on the scene, who was born and raised in Armenia, tells X17online, "I've never seen anything like this ... it was absolute mayhem. The people here are CRAZY for Kim K!"
Kanye carried Nori through the terminal with Kim and Khloe close by, and the group headed to their hotel, presumably to relax for the rest of the day. The 100th anniversary of the genocide of Armenian people is on April 24, but Kim's rep recently stated that the reality starlet won't be attending any commemorative events -- apparently she just wants to get in touch with her roots.
As you know, Kim's father Robert was an immigrant from the country, the family plans to visit the town of Gyumri, where relatives of her dad may live. The group will also stop by the genocide monument, museums and meet with politicians, according to TMZ.

Kristen Stewart looked a bit bummed out when X17 photographers snapped her at Los Angeles International Airport on Tuesday afternoon.
Might this have something to do with the fact that her former flame Rob Pattinson JUST got engaged to girlfriend FKA Twigs? Rob and his lady love were only together for six months before he popped the question, so that's definitely gotta sting! Then again, K. Stew was the one who cheated on Rob back in the day, so this is kinda on her!
The 24-year-old actress had her headphones on when photographers asked about Rob's engagement, so it doesn't seem like she heard the questions. But where's her lady love Alicia Cargile? We haven't seen the two together in a few weeks and they're usually joined at the hip!
