Awkward! Exes Kourtney Kardashian and Younes Bendjima had an unexpected run-in with each other over the weekend at -- where else -- a coffee shop.
The former lovers were cordial and, in fact, happy to see each other, according to eyewitnesses speaking to TMZ. The two crossed paths at Alfred Tea on Melrose place and were genuinely "happy to see each other."
Since the split, Kourt has courted a couple different younger men, as she's wont to do, but hasn't held onto a relationship more seriously. But that's fine! The mother-of-three focuses on her kids and on her family's reality show and paid appearances -- that's enough!
The most recognizable figure in fashion Karl Lagerfeld has died and the industry is reeling at the news it has lost one of its greatest designers.
With his black-rimmed glasses, black tie, silver ponytail and fingerless gloves, Lagerfeld had the most iconic personal style of any designer. Known as the creative genius behind Chanel since taking the helm in 1983, "The Kaiser," as he was known, is receiving tributes from celebrities and business leaders alike. "We have lost a creative genius who helped to make Paris the fashion capital of the world, and Fendi one of the most innovative Italian houses. We owe him a great deal: his taste and talent were the most exceptional I have ever known," Bernard Arnault, the chairman and CEO of Chanel rival LVMH said in a statement. "The death of this dear friend deeply saddens me, my wife and my children. We loved and admired him deeply."
Lagerfeld started working under Pierre Balmain in Paris in the 1950's, had a stint at Chloe, and went on to design fur for Fendi before taking the reins at Chanel.
The cause of death has yet to be released by Chanel released a statement during Fashion Week when the designer was absent at his show, attributing it to "tiredness."

Just two days after taking son Pax to buy a $900 sweatshirt at YSL, Angelina's back on a budget with daughters Shiloh and Vivienne and son Knox, taking them to a discount shoe warehouse to stock up on new kicks!
Jolie was radiant and smiling as she shopped with her young daughter for art supplies, as well -- it's the family's usual outing when they're bored on a weekend afternoon. And hey, why not make art?!
Seems Angelina is unfazed by ex Brad Pitt's recent reconciliation with his ex-wife Jennifer Aniston at her 50th birthday party. Hey, maybe it gets him off her back! And maybe these two will be friendly one day ... like at Jolie's 50th birthday in seven years!

Over before it even began! Frankly, we never saw too much love between these two -- it looked like a relationship of convenience for Lady Gaga with fiance Christian Carino. Now reports say the talent agent was spotted with another women at a West Hollywood hotspot this past weekend, holding hands and appearing to be on a romantic date.
Well that wasn't our first clue these two were over with -- Gaga ditched her man AND her ring at the Grammy Awards the previous weekend and the singer posted pix with her manager on Valentine's Day with no mention of her man.
So back to Christian's date this weekend -- a source told Radar: "Christian was sitting in the Sunset Tower restaurant on Friday night with a pretty brunette. They were holding hands and it looked like a romantic date."
The outlet says Carino's rep didn't respond to a request for a statement ... since when does a rep have rep?! We're gonna try to catch up with Gaga and ask her ourselves ... Stay tuned!

If you've got it, flaunt it! That's Kim Kardashian's motto and you best believe she's got it!
Kimmy donned a 1998 archive Thierry Mugler dress for the Hollywood Beauty Awards Sunday night and she was worried she might not have gotten quite enough attention for her look on the red carpet of the little-known awards presentation so she and her makeup artist Mario Dedivanovic hit up West Hollywood hotspot Craig's to see and be seen by the ever-present paparazzi outside the restaurant.
Kim's cleavage was caged in by the strappy, skin-revealing, sexy number and frankly, if I pay $75 for a filet mignon and an iceburg lettuce salad, I don't wanna look at that while I digest my dinner!

Angelina Jolie is just like us! NOT!
The down-to-earth star -- a UNHCR ambassador who just returned from a trip to Bangladesh where she visited Rohingya refugees from Myanmar -- took her 15-year-old son Pax shopping on Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills on Saturday and bought him a $900 YSL sweatshirt!
She's allowed to indulge, of course --she's super rich and what's one more hype beast rich kid teenager in LA -- they're a dime a dozen here.
Jolie wore a $3000 Dior trench coat for the shopping trip which started at the more practical Urban Outfitters and ended up in LA's Golden Triangle where the most expensive boutiques in the city reside. And clearly Pax is no stranger to luxe labels -- he was already sporting a Givenchy sweatshirt which retails for $600 ... a bargain compared to the Saint Laurent!
So what's all the hype about a bunch of cotton with a logo on it? Ask Pax!

This is painful to report - it seems Empire actor Jussie Smollett orchestrated a fake attack on himself last month in Chicago and then drew attention to himself as the victim.
Police sources tell CNN the two suspects were released after questioning yesterday because the two brothers provided evidence they were hired by Smollett. Smollett told authorities he was attacked by two men who were "yelling out racial and homophobic slurs." He said one attacker put a rope around his neck and poured an unknown chemical substance on him.
Meanwhile, Smollett is denying he set up the attack; his attorneys released a statement saying Jussie is upset by the accusations: "As a victim of a hate crime who has cooperated with the police investigation, Jussie Smollett is angered and devastated by recent reports that the perpetrators are individuals he is familiar with. He has now been further victimized by claims attributed to these alleged perpetrators that Jussie played a role in his own attack. Nothing is further from the truth and anyone claiming otherwise is lying."
The statement goes on to say Smollett will continue cooperating with authorities to find the perpetrators: "At the present time, Jussie and his attorneys have no inclination to respond to 'unnamed' sources inside of the investigation, but will continue discussions through official channels."
Khloe Kardashian spent Valentine's Day Instagraming quotes about lost love and we're sad for her ...
But she's done what every sad, scorned woman does -- she CHOPPED her hair off! Not Britney level, just a cute bob -- and she says ten months after giving birth to daughter True, she's got her mojo back. Good for her! And perhaps it's not so much postpartum wonkiness that got her -- it was probably baby daddy Tristan Thompson who got her off her game.
Khloe gave it the ol' college try by moving out to Cleveland to live with Tristan and True after he apologized for cheating on her while she was lying in the hospital about to give birth but really? Yeah, it didn't work and we're not surprised.
So now Khlo's back in Calabasas where she belongs and living her best life with True ... without a man. But there must have been something particularly definitive about the past week, as Khloe seems to have only recently fully made up her mind NOT to continue giving Tristan second, third and fourth chances but to finally be done with him. And she's sad ... but determined.
Khloe posted a tone of meme quotes on her Instagram story Feb. 14th and while they're sad, there's also a glimmer of strength and positivity when looking toward the future so we know she'll come out the other side. And maybe, just maybe, if she stops dating professional athletes, she'll find her Prince Charming!
