Kim Kardashian and Kanye West may not always be together with baby North (case in point, they flew back from Paris on separate days this week), but they always keep their daughter close to their hearts with their matching gold necklaces!
When Kim
arrived at Los Angeles International airport on Wednesday we caught a peek at her "Nori" charm, and when Kanye came back on
Friday he showed off his as well.
Wonder whose idea this was? It's cheesy and cute so we're inclined to believe Kim's behind this one...

Madonna really is telling all -- in her own words. For the November issue of
Harper's Bazaar, the 55-year penned a candid essay chronicling some very personal and traumatic events in her life including the controversy surrounding her 2006 adoption of son David from Malawi, her "strange" teen years and being raped at knifepoint.
On adopting her son David:
“This was an eye-opening experience. A real low point in my life. I could get my head around people giving me a hard time for simulating masturbation onstage or publishing my Sex book, even kissing Britney Spears at an awards show, but trying to save a child’s life was not something I thought I would be punished for. Friends tried to cheer me up by telling me to think of it all as labor pains that we all have to go through when we give birth. This was vaguely comforting. In any case, I got through it. I survived.”
On being the victim of rape shortly after moving to New York in 1978:
"New York wasn't everything I thought it would be. It did not welcome me with open arms. The first year, I was held up at gunpoint. Raped on the roof of a building I was dragged up to with a knife in my back."
On arriving in New York with dreams of stardom:
"[It] wasn't anything I prepared for … Trying to be a professional dancer, paying my rent by posing nude for art classes, staring at people staring at me naked. Daring them to think of me as anything but a form they were trying to capture with their pencils and charcoal. … I was defiant. Hell-bent on surviving. On making it. But it was hard and it was lonely, and I had to dare myself every day to keep going."
On her "strange" teenage years:
“Most people thought I was strange. I didn’t have many friends; I might not have had any friends. But it all turned out good in the end, because when you aren’t popular and you don’t have a social life, it gives you more time to focus on your future. And for me, that was going to New York to become a REAL artist. To be able to express myself in a city of nonconformists. To revel and shimmy and shake in a world and be surrounded by daring people.”
Those are some intense revelations, but way to express yourself Material Girl!

On Friday Katherine Heigl took her tiny pooch for a stroll in New York City, and the 34-year-old actress picked out fall fashions for both herself and her pet. Cute!
Aside from raising two young daughters, Katherine is busy getting back to work, but it won't be on the big screen. Last month NBC announced that it will develop a new television show in which Heigl would play the CIA's chief liaison to the president, so we're very curious to see where that goes.
Katherine may be a veteran actress with a decent fan following, but over the years she's earned the reputation of being extremely difficult. In a recent article on
The Hollywood Reporter, an insider on the 2009 film
The Ugly Truth opened up about her diva demands and "desperately difficult situations" in which they ran into a number of problems with Heigl, including "wardrobe issues, not getting out of the trailer, questioning the script every single day. Even getting her deal closed at Warners was hard. She hit that point of 'no.'" Yikes!
It's also noted that the actress has the "habit of airing her grievances in public." Remember when she slammed
Knocked Up for being "sexist," and then announced that she wasn't seeking an Emmy that year for her role on ABC's
Grey's Anatomy because the writing sucked? Looks like she's taking a serious bite of humble pie, especially when you consider that she was paid a whopping $12 million for
The Ugly Truth...

Sunday's episode of
Keeping Up With the Kardashians reached an all-time low of 1.7 million viewers, and despite the fact that the show is renewed through 2015, rumors are swirling that E! could pull the plug on the series sooner than that!
"This is looking really bad for the Kardashians and their show," a source told
Radar. "When Kendra Wilkinson‘s show dropped below 1 million viewers they dropped it, so the Kardashian reality show is definitely in trouble."
Just for comparison, after Kim Kardashian married Kris Humphries four years ago, 4.1 million viewers watched their wedding episode. The show premiered in 2007, and in April of 2012 momager Kris Jenner inked a $40 million deal for three more seasons of the reality show, but according to the site, the network may have the option to cancel the show early.
So what's causing the numbers drop? Aside from the fact that the show is uh, totally fake, the family has dealt with a lot of negative press over the past few months. From Kris and Bruce's fighting to Lamar Odom's alleged cheating and drug addiction, this summer has been rough for the famous fam. On top of that, there's so many spinoff shows we can't even keep track of which city Kim and Kourtney (or Khloe) are "taking" next.
Scott Disick and Kourtney Kardashian are reportedly getting their own series, but now
Radar reports that
that could be in jeopardy...
If the show gets cancelled, would it be the beginning of the end for their empire?
Poll
Do you think Keeping Up With The Kardashians should end?

He never looked this happy with Madonna!
Guy Ritchie is currently in Italy filming his latest movie
Man from U.N.C.L.E, and the director decided to bring along baby mamma Jacqui Ainsley and his son and daughter to make the most of his time in Rome!
The 45-year-old filmmaker held son Rafael on his shoulders as he strolled through the city with his lady love. We wonder if the British hunk still gets to spend quality time with sons David and Rocco?

She's the spitting image of the Prince of Darkness!
Jack and Lisa Osbourne's baby daughter Pearl did her best impression of grandpa Ozzy by donning a black wig, purple shades, and gold crosses, and daddy Jack decided to share this adorable photo of his daughter with his Instagram followers.
It's nice to see the former reality star enjoying a laugh with his little princess!
Pearl's parents suffered a devastating miscarriage of their unborn baby boy the other month, but at least they have their healthy little girl to make them smile!

She's giving Miley a run for her money!
Ke$ha took to her Instagram to show off her slimmed down hot bod yesterday, and if you didn't think she was sexy before, we bet you do now!
In the series of snapshots, the singer flaunts her enviable derriere in lingerie as she crawls around on the confetti-covered ground.
The chart topper must be using her assets to garner publicity for the second season of her show
Kesha: My Crazy Beautiful Life, which premieres October 30th on
MTV.

On Friday morning X17 photographers caught Kanye West driving back from Los Angeles International Airport in his black Lamborghini, and the rapper carried a Louis Vuitton hanging bag into his West Hollywood home, but we're not sure where the rest of his luggage was. You KNOW Yeezy packed a ton of clothes for Paris Fashion Week, so it seems like he had a separate car pick up his baggage.
But why isn't Mr. Leather Track Pants reuniting with Kim Kardashian and their darling
daughter Nori? And why did these two travel
separately? Maybe Yeezy wanted a few extra days with BFF Riccardo Tisci?
