From Rihanna to Ryan Seacrest, Jennifer Lopez was catching up with everyone at the iHeartRadio awards last night in Los Angeles!
When we snapped J. Lo chatting with Ryan before the show on Thursday, we assumed they were talking about the latest episode of
American Idol, in which singer Sam Woolf was sent home -- a decision that "shocked" J. Lo!
Producers switched the show's rules around so that the five remaining contestants were allowed to either kick off the finalist with the lowest votes or keep them and face a tougher competition next week. How very
Hunger Games of them!
The decision had to be unanimous, and as expected, none of the contestants could agree, so they went with the normal elimination for the show, and it was then that Seacrest revealed Woolf was getting the boot. Huh? Wasn't he the frontrunner? Guess not...

Caught ya!
Pop music "It" girl Ariana Grande planted a wet one on her ex boyfriend, Jai Brooks, backstage at the iHeartRadio Awards in Los Angeles on Thursday. Looks like the former flames have kissed and made up!
Back in October, Jai, who is a member of the Australian YouTube comedy and prank group The Janoskians, said that Ariana was still in a relationship with him when she started seeing The Wanted star Nathan Sykes. Looks like that's all water under the bridge now!
Prior to the smooch, the 20-year-old Nickelodeon star wowed the crowd at the fun-filled awards show held at the Shrine Auditorium. The big-voiced singer sang a pitch-perfect medley of "The Way" and "Problem."
Looks like Ariana was on fire last night!

Kanye West is definitely enjoying his last few weeks as an unmarried man!
On Thursday evening X17 photographers caught several of Kanye's pals arriving at the rapper's Hollywood Hills home, including Tyga, pictured above. A source tells X17online:
"Kanye wanted to have a boys' night before he and Kim get their wedding license. It wasn't a full-blown bachelor party with strippers or anything, just a chill night with friends."
That said, our source tells us, "Some of the boys did let loose, but I'm sure Kanye will do something bigger in Paris." You know, Yeezy does love to
party in Paris...
On Thursday evening Kris Jenner met with Kim's wedding planner at Casa Vega in Studio City, and on Tuesday Kim jetted to Paris for a wedding dress fitting at Balmain. Wonder how much planning Kanye has been doing though?
When Kim appeared on
Jimmy Kimmel Live back in January and chatted about her fiance's involvement she said, "I know they think or they say that the guy usually doesn't care and just shows up. Kanye really cares and he's really passionate about it, so it makes my job so much easier ... We're kind of taking different roles. He'll take care of the music and I'll take care of seating chart ... So we're making it really easy on each other."

Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin may be consciously uncoupling, but they aren't so separate that they couldn't enjoy a romantic meal at their favorite Italian restaurant in Santa Monica last night!
The Coldplay frontman and the Goop girl sneaked out the back door of Giorgio Baldi last night around 10pm after having an hour-and-a-half meal in the dimly-lit, seaside hotspot.
While Rihanna dined just two tables over, the restaurant's focus was on Gwyn and Chris. A patron inside the celebrity enclave told us:
"Gwyneth and Chris were in a great mood, laughing and sharing some wine. Everyone in the restaurant definitely noticed them but they didn't draw attention. It looked like there was no bad blood between them at all."
In fact, not wanting to draw attention, the couple sneaked out through the kitchen to avoid the paparazzi out front waiting for Rihanna.
And despite Chris now shacking up in Malibu and Gwyneth back in the couple's Brentwood home, they drove home together in the same car. Just saving gas, we presume ...

It's getting down to the wire! Well, Kim Kardashian and Kanye West's wedding is still three weeks and a couple of days away, but seeing as it's in France and set to be an extravagant affair, every little detail has to be perfect!
On Thursday evening Kris Jenner met with Kim's wedding planner at Casa Vega in Studio City (this is the same spot Khloe dined the other night with French Montana -- the family must really love this place), and we'd LOVE to know what the two talked about!
On Tuesday Kim jetted to Paris for a wedding dress fitting at Balmain, and she brought pal Serena Williams along with her. 36 hours after that, the reality starlet flew back to Los Angeles, though she wasn't at this meeting with her mom. Hey, there's a reason why Kris is Kim's manager -- sounds like she's always got everything under control! We're guessing Kim landed at LAX and headed straight home to Yeezy and their adorable daughter Nori, who will be celebrating her first birthday next month, if you can believe it.
And speaking of Nori, yesterday Kim posted the below shot on Instagram and wrote, "#TBT when Anna met North! Oh and told us about our Vogue shoot! #BestDayEver #Vogue #NorthOnlyPayingAttentionToHerDaddyTakingThePic..."
So cute!

It's been a big week for Bad Gal RiRi ... from her
boobs being on full display in
Lui magazine to winning big at Thursday evening's iHeartRadio Awards, she's all anyone seems to be able to talk about -- and that was before we got a peek at her latest ensemble!
After winning four prizes at the show (Artist of the Year, Song of the Year for “Stay," Hip Hop/R&B Song of the Year for "Pour It Up” and Best Fan Army), Rihanna went to Giorgio Baldi for a bite to eat. We could have predicted that...
Rihanna wore dark greenish-black lipstick and a see-through black number, but it was her twisty hairdo that really caught our attention. "Shout out to all the other people I’ve ever worked with,” she said while taking the podium last night in her 90s-inspired look. “I know I’m a pain in the *ss but it’s worth it because now we got the biggest award of the night.” Aww!

Back so soon?
Kim Kardashian touched down at LAX on Thursday afternoon after a whirlwind 36-hour trip to Paris.
For the international flight, the reality star wore nude leather pants by Balmain, and a chambray top also by Balmain, who will be designing her wedding dress when she marries Kanye later this month. The 33-year-old elongated her legs with Giuseppe Zanotti pumps. While we love the blush pant and heel combo — we definitely can’t imagine wearing leather pants on such a long flight!
On Tuesday, Kim jetted to Paris for a last-minute dress fitting at Balmain, bringing pal Serena Williams along for the shopping trip. We're a little surprised that Kimbo went with Balmain since rumors were swirling that the highly anticipated gown would be designed by Kanye's BFF Riccardo Tisci. However, the reality starlet did spend quite a bit of time with Balmain creative director Olivier Rousteing the last time she was in France, so this wasn't a total shock.
We can't wait to see the dress. Knowing Kim, Kanye and Balmain -- the final outcome is sure to be over the top!

Prince Harry is in Miami for pal Guy Pelly's bachelor party (Pelly is set to wed Holiday Inn heiress Lizzy Wilson this weekend in Memphis, Tennessee), and the royal hottie looked positively exhausted when X17 photographers caught him leaving his hotel on Thursday. Hey, at least he kept his clothes on this time!
Harry and 13 of his homies dined at Hakkasan, and according to a source for
Us Weekly, they ordered dishes like the crispy duck salad, stir-fried Bahamian lobster and charcoal grilled silver cod, and they stayed after closing for cocktails, tea and coffee. Then the group headed to LIV nightclub, where they listened to songs by Pharell and Imagine Dragons spun by DJ Politik.
The news broke earlier this week that the 29-year-old prince
split from steady girlfriend Cressida Bonas, so it makes sense that he would want to let loose, but it's interesting to note that he skipped attending the funeral of stepmother Duchess Camilla's brother, Mark Shand, who died last Wednesday in New York City. Prince William will not be attending the funeral either, but he will be attending Pelly's nuptials this weekend.
