It was the moment the international press were waiting for -- Russian leader Vladimir Putin and U.S. President Donald Trump shaking hands at the G20 meeting in Hamburg, Germany today. After a longer-than-expected meeting, lasting more than scheduled 45 minutes, the two posed for the media and the infamous Donald handshake happened. There was SO much wrapped up in it -- who'd pull away first? Would Trump do that awkward thing where he doesn't let go? Would the end up arm wrestling?
That wasn't the only handshake today -- Trump also met with Mexico's President Enrique Nieto and basically told him he still wants Mexico to pay for a wall. Uh, yeah -- that handshake was icy ...

Let's hope this animal fares better than a lot of the other ones!
North West hit the park with a nanny and her new puppy Sushi yesterday, and we've gotta admit that dog is adorable! Kim and Kanye bought the pooch as a birthday gift for their daughter, but they also thought taking care of the little fluff ball would prep Nori for another baby sibling. She shouldn't count on a playdate with Blue Ivy in the near future, as Yeezy and Jay-Z are currently feuding.
The rappers have yet to call a truce, but Kimmy K is so over it!
"Even though Kim doesn’t feel like she needs to be BFF’s with Beyonce and Jay-Z, she can see how much this feud is upsetting her husband and she wants it to end. She hates to see him hurting and she knows the pain isn’t good for him. Kanye is more upset about his feud with Jay & Beyonce than Kim is," a source dished to Hollywood Life.
"There was a time when all Kim wanted was for Beyonce and Jay to accept her but she’s over it, she doesn’t feel like she needs their approval anymore. It’s kind of ironic because she’s a big part of the reason this whole feud started. She used to get so upset over Beyonce and Jay-Z snubbing her and that infuriated Kanye. He still can’t believe that his own friends would disrespect his wife. The fact that Kanye always been a super supporter of Beyonce, makes this feud all the more painful for him," the source added.

Aww young love!
Kaia Gerber had a day date in the park with her boyfriend Travis Jackson in Malibu yesterday, and we might be aging ourselves when we say this, but isn't she a little young to be in a relationship? She's 15-years-old, but we guess you grow up quickly when you're thrust into the modeling world!
Her famous mom Cindy Crawford has been giving her a pointer or two about what it takes to make it in the business, but the high schooler is just your average girl when she isn't working.
"She teaches me things that could translate to any line of work, but it’s mainly just being on time; she’s always on time no matter what. She also taught me it’s important to be nice to everyone, to learn everyone’s names [on set] no matter if it’s the photographer or the assistant. I’ve gone to set with her and seen her do it, and she leads by example," the teenager recently told People.
"[Being famous] has taught me that you can still be a normal person. When I come back home after shooting, I’m just a regular 15-year-old girl. I think just not letting it get to you," she added.

She must be loving having her man in town!
Khloe Kardashian and Tristan Thompson kicked up their heels at The Nice Guy in LA last night, and the reality star looked like a bombshell in thigh high boots, a minidress, and a fedora. The NBA star recently moved into his girlfriend's Calabasas mansion, as he's on a break from basketball season, and we bet she's glad she's not shuttling back and forth to Cleveland anymore.
Engagement rumors have been swirling for months, and it seems like the athlete will pop the question before the end of summer. The Revenge Body star is no spring chicken, and she's been very vocal about wanting kids as of late.
We wonder if Lamar ever tries to contact Khloe? We know he wasn't happy when she started dating Tristan, but then he went on Wendy Williams and declared that he has given up trying to get back with his former wife.

Ben Affleck is going public with his girlfriend and we've got the pix!
Lindsay Shookus is a producer for Saturday Night Live and we're told, despite numerous reports claiming this is a new relationship, that these two have been dating for YEARS. In fact, they dated before Ben hooked up with Jennifer Garner. And his relationship with Jen didn't stop these two from seeing each other. "Ben made frequent trips to New York to see Lindsay over the years and Jen didn't fully understand what was going on, though at some point, she suspected something. Ben did a lot of bad stuff during their marriage, but this was the one 'other woman' that was more than a fling. He and Lindsay always had a strong connection," our source tells us.
Thursday night, the pair was photographed leaving Santa Monica hotspot Giorgio Baldi but we were onto these two a month ago when we photographed Lindsay taking an Uber as she left Ben's huge new bachelor pad manse one morning. Another day, we caught up with Lindsay as she left her own house, headed to Soul Cycle for a spin class.
Lindsay was married to another SNL producer in 2010, Kevin Miller. It's not clear if the two are actually legally divorced ...
As you know, Ben and Jen have been on the outs for while, with Jen filing for divorce mid-April after announcing their split months earlier, filing, pulling the filing and then re-submitting the divorce papers. The couple appeared to be reconciling numerous times, but no matter how hard Jen tried to make it work, it wasn't working and Ben moved out right after the legal filing in April. He picked up an amazing bachelor pad about 2 miles away from the family's Pacific Palisades home.
Ben and Jen reunited on the 4th of July to attend the annual Pacific Palisades Independence Day parade, as is their family tradition. But it appears Ben has officially moved on and will make his relationship with Shookus more public now that the news is out!

Who said drama queens have to be women?!
Kanye and Jay-Z's feud isn't over money, or Tidal, or album lyrics, it's actually all about their wives, Page Six reports. Apparently, Yeezy can't handle the fact that the "Lemonade" songstress has no interest in bonding with his reality star love, and was trying to "pressure" Hova into making it happen.

She's back, y'all!
Kesha dropped her first single in four years today, and her new tune "Pray" is everything we'd hoped it would be. The songstress gives an emotional monologue at the beginning of the video, and it's clear she's worked her way through the trauma of the past couple years. From her eating disorder to her sexual assault case against producer Dr. Luke, things haven't exactly been easy.
"I have channeled my feelings of severe hopelessness and depression, I've overcome obstacles, and I have found strength in myself even when it felt out of reach. I’ve found what I had thought was an unobtainable place of peace. This song is about coming to feel empathy for someone else even if they hurt you or scare you. It's a song about learning to be proud of the person you are even during low moments when you feel alone. It's also about hoping everyone, even someone who hurt you, can heal," she wrote in a Lenny Letter.
"In the past couple of years, I have grown into a strong, independent woman. I have realized through this long journey of ups and downs that if I'm lucky enough to have a voice that people listen to, then I should use it for good and for truth. I've battled intense anxiety and depression, a relentless eating disorder, and all the other basic bullshit that comes with being human. I know I'm not alone in that battle. Finding the strength to come forward about these things is not easy, but I want to help others who are going through tough times," she added.

It's summer and you know what that means... skimpy outfits from Ariel Winter!
The Modern Family star has never been shy about showing off her amazing physique, and this time, she opted to wear skimpy cutoff jean shorts with cowboy boots. She looks like a sexy country girl!
The actress recently got into with her mom Chrystal Workman, who criticized her for flaunting her curves so much.
"I would not do that. She needs to grow up. I would tell her to dress properly, be the beautiful person she is. I feel sad that she feels the need to expose herself when it’s not necessary,†Workman told In Touch.“Ariel is smart, beautiful and talented. She is a legitimate actress. She does not need to do this. She is beautiful with her clothes on," she added.
The TV darling didn't take those comments too well, either.
"What’s sad is that you lie consistently. Also, why is it that you only choose to talk to me through the press? I’m doing just fine. Toxic," the 19-year-old tweeted.
