It was a night full of hot ladies!
Demi Lovato and Ireland Baldwin were just a few of the many gorgeous people that came out to celebrate singer Hayley Kiyoko's album release party in Hollywood last night, and we were blown away by how glamorous and grown up Alec Baldwin's daughter looked!
The blonde bombshell used to struggle with her self-esteem, but has embraced her flaws in recent years, and that confidence really shines through. Let's hope she chatted with the "Skyscraper" songstress inside the bash, because they both share a common interest in self-love!
"This is who I am, take it or leave. I am not going to be body shamed for being pale or not stick thin. I'm not going to spend hours photoshopping my authenticity away. I'm not going to beat myself up for not looking like someone else. I'm not going to be told that I'm damaged goods because of my tattoos. Most days I'm self conscious, but today I love every curve and edge. Your body should be treated with the dignity and respect it deserves," Baldwin wrote on Instagram a couple months ago.
"I want to be as real as possible with everyone that follows me because to be quite honest, what the is even the point of social media if you can't be who you truly are? I'm not here to mindf*** all of you into believing I am something that I'm not. I'm forever on a journey of finding my better self and I will continue to work as hard as I can to make MYSELF proud. Today I hope everyone is proud of who they are and can recognize what they can accomplish!" she added.

We know what's under that jean jacket!
Justin Bieber bundled up to brave the cold for services at Hillsong church last night, but earlier in the day, he took to Instagram to show off his fully tatted torso!
"If tattooed didn’t hurt everyone would have them. Well maybe not very one!! Over a hundred hours of hart work on my body and I wouldn’t take back a single one.. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE ART AND IVE MAde my body a canvas and it’s SO MUCH FUN," he captioned the photo, making a million spelling errors in the process.
JB is apparently pining away for Selena Gomez and "wants her back," but in an effort to occupy his free time until that happens, he recently made a cameo in a weird YouTube video called "Racist Superman." He plays the polite Canadian Superman, and it's just bizarre.
Kim Kardashian shared this family photo from their Easter celebrations, and little Chicago got included for the first time since she was born!
If you're wondering why they don't all looked thrilled, it's because it was more difficult to take this snapshot than you realize!
"I don’t think you really understand how hard it is to take a good family pic. This was all we got before all three kids started crying. I think I cried too," Kimmy K captioned the pic.
The reality star and the rapper are two of the busiest people in the game, so how do they manage raising three children?
“They don’t have the most traditional way of raising their kids because they’re so busy. When they’re not together, Kim and Kanye FaceTime with the kids and talk to them as much as they can. Kris [Jenner] helps Kim a ton, as does Kourtney [Kardashian]. Corey [Gamble] pitches in with all the kids too. The family supports each other,†a source told People.
The couple have been spending a lot of time together in recent weeks, though! They took North to Washington D.C. to participate in the March for our Lives protest, and then they took both Nori and Saint to the San Diego Zoo for a fun-filled day with the animals.
If you told us they'd be happily married with two girls and a boy years ago, we wouldn't have believed you!

This never happens!
Selena Gomez dropped by Starbucks to grab a beverage yesterday afternoon, and when our videographer asked her if she was still in love with Justin Bieber, she actually responded! "God bless," she told us as she made her way inside the store. Hey, she didn't spill any huge secrets, but this is better than nothing!
People reports that JB "misses" his ex and wants to reconcile. "He loves her. He wants her back," a source told the mag.
The "Come & Get It" songstress has reportedly been impressed with The Biebs' ability to respect her decision to press pause on their romance, and it has scored him some serious brownie points.
“She’s asked him for time and space because she felt herself getting too stressed. It’s a very good sign for them as a couple, by agreeing to take some time apart and not making it a big drama. Justin is showing her that he’s changed and matured just like she has and Selena’s taken notice of Justin," a source told Hollywood Life.
"If he can continue to show her more of the same maturity, he has a real shot at winning her back for good. But she wants to see consistency, to see that he’s willing to wait for her. She knows this isn’t easy, but she’s worth it," the source added.
We have a feeling Jelena will be back on by summer!
Carrie Underwood posted this pic of herself back in the studio working on her upcoming album, and it's the first time she's showed us her face since suffering a nasty fall that left her with 50 stitches last winter.
At the time, the country cutie prepared fans that she might look different after the accident, but that she was optimistic about her recovery.
"It’s crazy how a freak random accident can change your life. In addition to breaking my wrist, I somehow managed to injure my face as well. I’ll spare you the gruesome details, but when I came out of surgery the night of my fall, the doctor told [Underwood’s husband] Mike that he had put between 40 and 50 stitches in," she wrote in a letter to her fan club.
“I honestly don’t know how things are going to end up but I do know this: I am grateful. I am grateful that it wasn’t much, much worse. And I am grateful for the people in my life that have been there every step of the way," she continued.
"I am determined to make 2018 amazing and I want to share things with you along the way. And when I am ready to get in front of a camera, I want you all to understand why I might look a bit different," she concluded.
We think she looks great, but we can't see the other side!

They were tears of joy!
Jay-Z sat down with David Letterman for his Netflix show My Next Guest Needs No Introduction, and discussed a variety of topics about his life, including when his mother came out to him as gay.
"Imagine having lived your life for someone else. And you think you're protecting your kids. For my mother to have to live as someone that she wasn't and hide and like, protect her kids — and didn't want to embarrass her kids... for all this time. For her to sit in front of me and tell me, 'I think I love someone'. I mean, I really cried," he told the legendary late night host.
The rapper revealed that he had known about her sexuality for some time, but they only got around to discussing it eight months ago when he was recording an album, which included a track about his mom being a lesbian.
"I knew. But this was the first time we had the conversation. And the first time I heard her say she loved her partner, like, 'I feel like I love somebody'. She said, 'I feel like'. She held that little bit back, still. She didn't say, 'I'm in love', she said, 'I feel like I love someone', and I just, I cried. I don't even believe in crying because you're happy. I don't even know what that is. What is that?" he added.
Hova also shared a sweet anecdote about daughter Blue Ivy that totally stopped him in his tracks.
"I told her to get in the car the other day because she was asking a thousand questions and we had to leave for school. We're driving and then I just hear a little voice...'Dad. I didn't like when you told me to get in the car the way you told me. It hurt my feelings.' I was like, 'That's the most beautiful thing you've ever said to me,'" the hip-hop star gushed.

What a good sport!
Gwen Stefani was in desperate need of a manicure yesterday, and so she brought son Kingston along with her to the pampering session. The No Doubt songstress looked perfectly put together in a grey fringe sweater with black jeans, and we seriously don't know how she manages to look impeccable every time she leaves the house!
Her relationship with boyfriend Blake Shelton has never been stronger, and her brood is equally in love with their de-facto stepdad!
"Gwen’s kids are more attached to Blake than ever. They love him, and if Blake and Gwen were to break up at this point, it’d be devastating to the kids. The boys have a lot from Blake, from a new appreciation for country music to all of the wonderful things Blake has shared with them about living in the outdoors. All of Gwen’s kids love spending the holidays in Oklahoma, exploring the countryside and being with Blake and their mom," a source told Celebrity Insider.
"The kids say, ‘I love you,’ to Blake and hug and kiss him whenever they part ways. Even though it is not official, Blake is like a father to those kids. Gwen loves how great Blake is with her boys too, their relationship’s special and it means a lot to her. Blake and the boys really do have a special bond, and they could not imagine not being in each other’s lives," the source added.

No need to be humble here!
We caught up with Nicki Minaj at LAX yesterday and asked her if she agreed with Birdman's assessment that she's the "best female rapper in hip-hop history," and she nodded her head and gave an enthusiastic thumbs up!
Even for her haters, it's hard to argue with her numbers!
She's the first female rapper to sell 5 million copies of all of her studio albums. That's a big deal!
The "Pink Friday" songstress has been out of the spotlight since New Year's working on her upcoming album, but we think she's also been trying to avoid questions about ex Meek Mill and his prison problems and her recent breakup with Nas.
