It's official! Kim Kardashian has changed her name from Kim Kardashian to Kim Kardashian West. The reality starlet updated her social media accounts a few days after her wedding, and even though this is her third marriage, it's is the first time she's taken her husband's last name. That's how you
know it's gonna last! Well, at least for a few years, anyway...
After getting engaged in October of 2013, Kim told
E! News that she was going to take Yeezy's name. "It'll be Kim Kardashian West," she said, "Not hyphened. Maybe make [Kardashian], like, the middle." Like, totally.
Kardashian and West got married on May 24 in Florence, Italy, and the lovebirds are currently on their honeymoon in Cork, Ireland at the Castylemartyr Resort. Based on the Instagram photos and tweets from the family, everything went as planned, but there was actually quite a bit of drama on Kim's big day!
First Kim's
little younger brother
Rob bailed on the wedding and flew back to Los Angeles on Saturday morning
after the siblings got into a spat about his weight, and then Kim's $500,000 Givenchy dress reportedly ripped right before she walked down the aisle.
In Touch Weekly claims that mom Kris Jenner "
drank all day and went nuts," while Beyonce's failure to appear "
[sent] Kim into a RAGE."
Ummm, why didn't they decide film this for the reality show? It would probably be the only episode we'd watch from start to finish!

Uh oh! Someone's in trouble! A video was just released of two members of the boy band One Direction joking around, laughing and (it looks like) smoking pot. And their young fans are outraged, even going so far as to burn concert tickets. Yikes!
In the vid first posted on
Daily Mail, Zayn Malik and Louis Tomlinson are seen smoking, passing a rolled up cigarette and joking about pot. The video shows the boys in the back of an SUV, following a performance in Estadio Nacional in Lima, Peru on April 27.
At one point Louis says,
"So here we are, leaving Peru. Joint lit. Happy days!"
Louis seems to have been narrating the video. At one point after his bandmate was smoking, Louis joked,
"One very very important factor of Zayn’s warm up of course is Mary J, herself."
Whether the boys are high off playing to a 40,000 capacity crowd -- or from some type of illegal substance, we don't know. But they make some pretty clear drug references during the ride.
1D members Niall Horan, Liam Payne and Harry Styles are not in the video but the whole group is facing some serious fan backlash. Many fans have tweeted their outrage towards the band, even going so far as to burn concert tickets.
How this will affect the future of the teen idols, whose fan base is a lot of pre-teen and teen girls -- we don't know. But it's safe to say that this is some pretty damning stuff to the teeny bopper crowd!

Robert De Niro is featured in the new issue of
Out Magazine, and the 70-year-old actor breaks down into tears while talking about his late father, Robert De Niro Sr.
De Niro invited the magazine to his dad's former studio in New York City, which has been kept as a shrine for the past two decades. When asked about preserving the space, the Oscar winner said, "I didn’t think of just selling it and dismantling it. Luckily, I could afford to keep it going, so I left it as is ... I documented and went through everything to make sure we catalogued it, and then I said, 'I'm keeping it like this.'" He added, "I haven’t even read all the diaries — I started. I read the ones for the film, but I haven’t read all the other material. I will, of course."
The project he's speaking of is the upcoming HBO documentary,
Remembering the Artist, which chronicles the life of De Niro's artist gather, who was gay. When asked about his father's sexuality, it's noted that the elder De Niro "thought being gay was a sort of affliction," and the actor is asked about his father feeling "conflicted about his life’s passion."
De Niro replied, "
[Was he conflicted] about his homosexuality? Yeah, he probably was, being from that generation, especially from a small town upstate. I was not aware, much, of it. I wish we had spoken about it much more. My mother didn’t want to talk about things in general, and you’re not interested when you’re a certain age. Again, for my kids, I want them to stop and take a moment and realize that you sometimes have to do things now instead of later, because later may be 20 years from now — and that’s too late."
When asked about sharing the same name as his late dad (and becoming "more famous than the person you’re named after," as the reporter puts it), De Niro gets teary and says, "
I get emotional. I don’t know why."
Check out the teaser for the documentary below!

Not exactly the warm-up ritual you were expecting, is it?
Before going onstage, Lily Allen shared a video of herself dancing around to Drake's "Started from the Bottom" while topless and in Spanx.
Clearly making fun of herself, the mom of two wrote, "Cool mum #drakespanxdance."
Let's be real -- this is anything but sexy, but at least the quirky singer has a good sense of humor about her. In the vid, the 29-year-old covered her cleavage as she gyrated and sang Drizzy's jams.
The singer took a sabbatical from her musical career from 2009-2013. But we are glad to see she's back in fighting (spanxing) form! What will Sheezus think of next?!

Someone came down with a wicked case of Bieber fever!
Justin Bieber has always had serious swagger, and he proved it by hooking up with newly single Victoria's Secret supermodel Adriana Lima at Cannes!
The Biebs was apparently dead set on bagging the cat walker, and set about making it happen the minute he touched down at the film fest!
"Justin pursued her hard," a source tells
Us Weekly, adding that the pair were "talking nonstop" at the 1 Oak fete before going home together at 5am. Oh la la!
JB might be twelve years her junior, but apparently the Brazilian beauty couldn't resist his charms. The "Boyfriend" crooner posted a snap with the sexy stunner with the caption, "I think she foreign, I think she foreign", a reference to some of his lyrics.
The Canadian sensation is really adding notches to the bed post these days!

The twerking queen takes the stage!
Miley Cyrus ditched her usual revealing ensembles to sport a Giambattista Valli gown and perform her hit "Wrecking Ball" at Tuesday's World Music Awards in Monte Carlo, and as much as we love her crazy antics, it's nice to see her be somewhat normal sometimes!
The pop star was nominated in 14 categories, and ended up taking away the award for Best Pop Video and Best Female Act, which former flame Kellan Lutz presented to her.
"She's an amazing girl and she has a great head on her shoulders. I love hanging out with her because she is who she is and she's such a shining star. I'm just focused on work but I'm happy to be friends with her," the
Twilight actor previously revealed of his relationship with the chart topper.
It's about time Miley found a new man!

50 Cent may be a baller, but not so much on the baseball field!
Last night the rapper threw the ceremonial first pitch at the New York Mets game at Citi Field in Queens, New York, and while he was a bit off the mark, he laughed off the incident later in the evening.
“I’m a hustler not a Damn ball player. LMAO #smsaudio #animalambition” he tweeted. “The sh!t almost hit the camera man damn, if you look close you can see them moving the plate. Lol #smsaudio #animalambition."
In case you missed it, check out the video above...

Justin Bieber has shot down reports that he's dating Kylie Jenner, but if he's hanging out with her late night style at bars in Los Angeles, we have to wonder!
On Tuesday night X17 photographers snapped Justin, 20, and Kylie, 16, leaving the Rainbow Bar and Grill in West Hollywood, and the duo left in separate cars, but they did pose for a rather cozy selfie above. Take that, Selena Gomez!
Selena was reportedly feuding with both Kylie and her big sister Kendall Jenner last month over the Biebs, and apparently it was Kylie who started the whole squabble when she sent the pop star some sexy photos of herself. Then Kendall and pal Hailey Baldwin had
dinner with Bieber, at which point Selena unfollowed all of the girls on Instagram. The following week Kylie partied with Bieber in Las Vegas, but they were joined by model Yovanna Ventura, so at that point it wasn't clear who he might be involved with.
In an Instagram post a few weeks ago Bieber posed with pal Floyd Mayweather's 13-year-old daughter Iyanna and wrote, "I guess everyone I get photo'd with is automatically my girlfriend. This is my only gf @moneyyaya :p .. Had fun at the fight lil one see u soon!" That's not to say that he's not hooking up with multiple girls though...
Still, it does appear as though this could have been a friendly meeting, as Bieber posted a snapshot of himself with Shots founder John Shahid and wrote "Boys' night out." Bieber is an investor in the app, and since Kylie posted the pic above from the app, we're wondering if she's somehow getting involved in the biz. After all, she's pretty much the queen of selfies!
But if you're a teenage girl, how could you be friends with the Biebs and
not wanna make out with him?
