Baby got back!
Kanye West took off running to avoid questions about his beef with Jay-Z today in LA, and we couldn't help but notice that the rapper seems to be sporting a very Kim K-like booty. Perhaps he had a little too much of his wife's cooking at their Fourth of July BBQ yesterday?
Yeezy and Hova are in the middle of a very public feud, and it seems their friendship is all but over. 'Ye cut ties with Jay's music streaming service Tidal after Beyonce's hubby dissed him on a track from his new album 4:44, and it's led to an awkward situation for everyone involved.
Kimmy K, especially, has come to her husband's defense.
"She gets very protective of her husband, like a mama bear. She thinks it was a low blow to diss Kanye and throw around words like ‘insane’ after all he’s been through. Kanye had a real difficult time last year and is still coming out of it, so to hit him like that wasn‘t cool," a source dished to Hollywood Life.
"Kim would like nothing more than to drop the whole feud and move on with their lives. She likes Bey and JAY and would love to be friends — but it has to be a two-way street. If they aren’t interested then so be it," the source added.
We have a feeling Yeezus is hard at work on his own diss track!
He's also hard at work on his fitness and he and 2Chainz hit up UCLA earlier today for some off-season training with the Bruin basketball team! Who knew Kanye could hang?!

These two seem quite taken with each other!
Katy Perry and Niall Horan bumped into each other while both appearing as guest judges on The Voice Australia on Sunday, and the pop star accused the former boybander of being a "stage 5 clinger" and stalking her! Of course, it was all in good fun, but we're starting to wonder if those romance rumors might be true.
KP even recently implied that the British hunk has the hots for her!
"I see [Niall] around all the time. He's always trying to like, get my number, to like, maybe flirt with me but I'm like, 'I could babysit you. I'm like your mom!'" she told the Australian morning radio show Fitzy & Wippa.
"Niall's amazing, I love him, and I think we feel very connected in a way because I, like, helped him get through The X Factor to join his group. He's become a big star and I'm like, 'Cool, I guess that means I have taste?' I don't know what that means," she clarified.
The "Smooth Hands" crooner was more than happy to play along.
"Katy, please stop being mean to me. She's just finding any excuse now to just patronize me and go around spreading rumors about me. I just want to be your friend! I mean, she is talking like she is about 55 years older than me. She is not that much older than me," he joked on The Project.
This kind of witty banter could easily turn into a real relationship!

Talk about keeping your exes close!
Caitlyn Jenner grabbed lunch with son Brandon in Malibu yesterday, and we couldn't help but notice the fact that the transgender star has a Kris Jenner iPhone case!
Most people wouldn't want to be reminded of their ex-wife, but we guess Cait doesn't mind. Either that, or she looks at it like a joke? Any way you slice it, it's weird. If you'd like one, too, they're available on Kylie Jenner's online shop for only $15!
Rumor has it the former spouses have called a truce, and it's all based on money. The Olympian wants to do another reality show surrounding her LGBTQ activism, and she needs the momager's help and connections.
"Caitlyn has been encouraged to pitch the show to Bravo and E! and she wants the process to go smoothy. She knows that Kris could be a huge asset and they both have clauses that they will not slander one another.Any inclusion of Kris and her family in the show could be very lucrative for both parties," a source dished to Radar.
Caitlyn already pissed off the Kardashian matriarch enough with her memoir, she might not want to mock her with merch!

Flossy!
Iggy Azalea tried to act like she didn't see photographers taking her picture as she pumped gas in LA yesterday, but she obviously did, because she was posing and making sure they got her from all the right angles. Lookin' good, girl!
The Aussie rapper was recently slammed by singer Halsey for appropriating black culture, and she didn't take the shots lying down.
"It's strange. I don’t know her. I’ve never met her. To me, because I’m a famous person and I know a lot of the time people have opinions and they’re not always accurate, I really try very hard not to give my personal opinions about people that I don’t know,†she explained on radio show Smallzy’s Surgery.
"I thought it was a bit of a strange thing to throw that out there, but she’s young and I hope she learns maybe to be a bit less judgmental when she’s kind of in the same shoes. I’m sure she’s getting judged all the time as well by people who don’t really know her. Maybe it’d be good for her to try to be a little more empathetic to other people that are in the same situation," she added.

Who needs Hova?!
Kim Kardashian whipped up a feast of Southern goodies for a family BBQ with Kanye and the kids yesterday, and rapper 2Chainz was one of the lucky guests. The two families posed for a happy photo together, and it's almost like Yeezy is sending a message to Jay-Z that he doesn't need him anymore.
Just hours earlier, 'Ye cut ties with Tidal, with his lawyers sending a notice to the music streaming service that they owed KW "more than $3 million" and they were "in breach and the contract was terminated." Yeezus partnered with Jay-Z to launch Tidal, along with others, but he's decided not to sign any more exclusive music releases. Translation - Kanye wants nothing to do with Tidal anymore, and wants money for what he's already done!
The Louis Vuitton Don is clearly pissed over Jay-Z's diss of him on his new album 4:44. Beyonce's hubby took a swipe at Kanye on one of his tracks and alluded to him borrowing money, and it didn't go over well.
"You dropped outta school, you lost your principles / You gave him 20 million without thinking/ He gave you 20 minutes on stage, f**k was he thinking?" the verse goes.
We doubt Bey and Jay are invited to any Kimye gatherings from here on out!

Talk about an unlikely couple!
"Hot convict" Jeremy Meeks is hooking up with Topshop heiress Chloe Green, and the Internet is officially confused. Why, you ask? Well, for starters, the budding male model is married, and also they come from slightly different walks of life. The two are currently vacationing on a yacht off the coast of Turkey, and it's not everyday you go from prison to living in the lap of luxury!
"Just the Beginning… We appreciate all the love and the hate," Green captioned a photo of them together. Clearly they're loving the attention!
The 26-year-old is stoked on this new romance, but her parents might not be quite so pleased.
“Chloe seems quite taken with Jeremy, and who can blame her? He’s seen as one of the sexiest guys on the celebrity social circuit and has a story or two to tell about his colorful past," a source dished to The Sun.
“Quite what Chloe’s dad and Jeremy’s wife will make of their fling is another matter. Sir Philip is very protective and will likely be concerned his daughter is getting close to a married former gangster," the source added.

Getting all their party supplies ahead of the Fourth of July!
Lady Gaga and her boyfriend Christian Carino stocked up on food and beverages at the grocery store in Malibu over the weekend, and the singer made the trip a little sexier in a pair of teeny denim cutoffs.
Mother Monster and her agent beau have been dating for six months, but she's already thinking of walking down the aisle! The pair "have been talking about a 2017 wedding, even as soon as this summer. Gaga loves the Hamptons and it’s on the short list for possible locations," a source recently dished to Life & Style.
Her man just needs to pop the question!
"All that’s left now is for Christian to get a ring — a huge one if he’s smart — and propose. Gaga wants to be out in nature and near the water when she says ‘I do'... [Christian] couldn’t agree more," the source added.

What awful news.
Maria Menounos has been diagnosed with a brain tumor and underwent surgery to remove the golf-ball-size meningioma last month, she announced to People. Her health battle comes as her mom Litsa Menounos fights stage 4 brain cancer.
"This February I thought I had an ear infection so I went to a doctor, and he said, 'Your ears are the cleanest things I've ever seen. What else are you feeling?' I'd been getting light-headed on-set and having headaches. My speech had gotten slurred, and I was having difficulty reading the teleprompter. I said, 'I know you're going to think I'm crazy, but I think I have a brain tumor like my mom.'He said, 'I don't think you're crazy. Let's just get an MRI.' The next week I started feeling better, so I was like, 'I'm clearly paranoid.' So I kept pushing the MRI," she told the mag.
Although doctors have determined her tumor isn't cancerous and her prognosis is good, she's decided to leave her hosting position at E! News.
"I am so grateful for the past three years at E!, I had such an amazing time co-hosting with Jason Kennedy and working everyday with the wonderful roster of talent on the show including producers, staff and crew. It was such a special, good-hearted group and one I'll always consider family. A special thank you to Frances Berwick and Adam Stotsky for all the support they have shown me through the years especially during these tough times. I will truly miss everyone and looking forward to this next chapter in my life," she said in a statement.
So what has she learned from the ordeal?
"For me, I saw it as a huge blessing and a huge gift because I needed to change my life. We’re caretakers as women and we help everybody and we put ourselves last always. And I don’t think — at least for me — I guess I realized I didn’t value myself in a lot of ways. And so I think that that was a really important lesson," she explained tearfully during an emotional interview on Today.
“I want to start a family. You realize really quickly when something like this happens that nothing else really matters," she added.
