And for once, they opted to not draw attention to themselves!
Kim and Khloe Kardashian went undercover in a chauffeured SUV to visit a homeless shelter on Skid Row in downtown LA yesterday, and we're actually quite shocked they didn't make a big spectacle of the outing to show everyone how charitable they are.
So what was the purpose of their visit, you ask? Apparently, they've been involved with the organization for a while and wanted to check in on how their donations were being put to good use.
A source tells X17:
"They've visited the shelter before with Keeping Up with the Kardashians cameras rolling, but this time they just wanted to drop by without making a scene and just really connect with the people there. They feel so fortunate for their lives, and despite what everyone says about them, they really do care about those who are less fortunate. They've donated quite a lot of money over the years, and it makes them happy to see all the new programs that have been put in place because of it."
They better make sure there's some lavish vacations and lots of drama on the upcoming season of their show, because lately all we've been catching them doing is - gasp! - nice things. The other month, the girls dropped by Planned Parenthood to take a stance and raise awareness against Donald Trump's attempts to defund the clinic.

The weirdest story ever just keeps getting weirder...
Vili Fualaau filed for legal separation yesterday from wife Mary Kay Letourneau, but they're not having marital problems, the 33-year-old told Radar in a bizarre interview. In case you forgot, Letourneau served more than seven years in prison for having sex with Fualaau when he was her sixth grade student back in 1996. They went on to marry and have two children together.
"It’s not necessarily what you think. Everything is fine between us. All the rumors that you hear between us. It’s fine. Of course [we are still in love]. A piece of paper doesn’t break someone’s feelings!" he told the outlet.
Umm, what?
Apparently, he's looking to get licensed as a distributor for Cigaweed†marijuana cigarettes, and being married to a felon isn't going to help the licensure process.
"When you want to get licensed, they do background checks on both parties. If I decide to be a part of it I have to be licensed and I have to be vetted and so does a spouse. She has a past. She has a history," he explained.
Letourneau doesn't seem to like this idea very much, because she just filed a petition with the court to have her husband's separation case dismissed, TMZ reports. Vili's lawyer says her client is moving forward with his case anyway.

He certainly has a type!
Rob Kardashian has moved on from Blac Chyna and has been quietly dating reality star Mehgan James for the past several months, and his famous family doesn't approve of the new relationship, In Touch reports.
"Rob's been seeing [reality star] Mehgan James for almost three months, and most of the Kardashians are very upset about it because Mehgan is known for being out of control and volatile. The Kardashians want Rob to find a woman who is kind and calm," a source dished to the mag.
So why aren't they fans of this new romance? They think she's fame hungry, just like his ex. Case in point? James has appeared Bad Girls Club, Basketball Wives LA, and Marriage Boot Camp: Reality Stars with her ex.
The sock designer's new lady love has met Khloe, "but the rest of the Kardashians are refusing to meet her. Mehgan is trouble, and that's the last thing Rob needs in his life right now."
Does he not see that he's being used by all these women?!

Her friends shouldn't rush to play matchmaker!
Jennifer Garner is "doing okay" after filing for divorce from Ben Affleck and having the actor move out of their Pacific Palisades home, but she's not ready for another romance just yet, People reports.
"This has really been the most difficult decision for her. But it’s time to focus on the future. They want to be sure the kids are comfortable. It’s all in step with what they’ve always said was the most important thing: their children," a source dished to the mag.
Just because she's not eating Ben & Jerrys and crying doesn't mean she's looking for another relationship, though.
"She will eventually, but it will be a while before she does. She’s certainly not jumping up and down and screaming, ‘I’m single!’ and planning dates. She still says Ben was the love of her life," the source added.
It sounds like she's just relieved all the drama of her troubled marriage is over. "She seems happy to be single and able to move forward. She has a very positive attitude about the future," the insider revealed.
We have a feeling the Boston hunk isn't going to wait quite as long...
Kathy Griffin took to Twitter to fall on her sword and apologize for posing for that Donald Trump beheaded photo, after the comedienne received backlash from both conservatives and liberals for taking things too far. Tyler Shields shot the image, which shows the redheaded funny lady holding a severed head, which bears a striking resemblance to the President, covered in blood.
"Hey everybody, it's me, Kathy Griffin. I sincerely apologize. I'm just now seeing the reaction to these images. I'm a comic. I cross the line. I move the line then I cross it. I went way too far. The image is too disturbing. I understand how it offends people. It wasn't funny. I get it. I've made a lot of mistakes in my career, I will continue. I ask your forgiveness. Taking down the image. I'm going to ask the photographer to take down the image and I beg for your forgiveness. I went too far. I made a big mistake and I was wrong," she said in a video message posted to her social media account.
The POTUS isn't ready to forgive her, though!
"Kathy Griffin should be ashamed of herself. My children, especially my 11 year old son, Barron, are having a hard time with this. Sick!" he tweeted early Wednesday morning. Apparently, Barron was watching TV with his mother Melania and saw the snapshot pop up on the screen, and genuinely thought it was his father, screaming "Mommy, Mommy!", TMZ reports.
The Secret Service has now launched an investigation into the circumstances surrounding the photoshoot, and Griffin got dropped from her endorsement deal with Squatty Potty. "We were shocked and disappointed to learn about the image Ms. Griffin shared today. It was deeply inappropriate and runs contrary to the core values our company stands for," the company explained.
You should never joke about killing the Commander-in-Chief, even if you hate him.
UPDATE - CNN has fired Kathy from her New Year's Eve co-host duties. The comedienne hosts with Anderson Cooper and the two have done so since 2007 and are friends off-camera as well. Even Cooper said this morning, "For the record, I am appalled by the photo shoot Kathy Griffin took part in. It is clearly disgusting and completely inappropriate." Gee, a stupid Tyler Shields photo shoot doesn't really seem worth losing that gig, does it?!

It sucks to be in the middle of this!
Kendall and Kylie Jenner are choosing to stay neutral in their parents Kris and Caitlyn Jenner's feud, which reached an irriversable breaking point after the transgender star released her memoir Secrets of my Life. The momager and the rest of the Kardashian clan are now estranged from the Olympian.
"Kylie and Kendall love their dad but understand why their larger family would feel the way they feel. They see both sides of it. They’re adults, they have their own homes, so they have their own separate relationships with Caitlyn. Kris wants her daughters to have a relationship with their father,†a source dished to Us Weekly.
"Caitlyn’s issue with Kris, Kim, Khloe and Kourtney will not affect Caitlyn’s relationship with Kylie and Kendall: they will always have a relationship with their dad,†the source added.
We asked Khloe about the feud when she landed at LAX today, and it was pretty clear she thought if she didn't having anything nice to say, she shouldn't say anything at all. Her silence speaks volumes, though!

We hope she's OK!
Olivia Newton-John announced today that she's postponing her US and Canadian tours after discovering she has breast cancer. The singer was suffering from severe back pain that she thought was sciatica when she got her diagnosis. The Aussie legend initially battled the disease more than 25 years ago.
She released the below statement on Facebook:
Olivia Newton-John is reluctantly postponing her June U.S. and Canadian concert tour dates. The back pain that initially caused her to postpone the first half of her concert tour, has turned out to be breast cancer that has metastasized to the sacrum. In addition to natural wellness therapies, Olivia will complete a short course of photon radiation therapy and is confident she will be back later in the year, better than ever, to celebrate her shows.
"I decided on my direction of therapies after consultation with my doctors and natural therapists and the medical team at my Olivia Newton-John Cancer Wellness and Research Centre in Melbourne, Australia,†says Olivia Newton-John.
There will be no interview requests accepted at this time as Olivia’s focus is on her treatment and healing. Ticket buyers for the upcoming concerts should contact venues directly about refunds. Rescheduled concert dates will be posted at OliviaNewton-John.com in the coming weeks."
Ariel Winter celebrated Memorial Day with boyfriend Levy Meaden and pals in Malibu, and the TV star couldn't resist posing for a sexy beach photoshoot and sharing the pics on Instagram. The buxom beauty showed a lot of T&A in a thong bikini, and let's just say she's definitely all grown up.
The Modern Family actress recently revealed that co-star Sofia Vergara helped her love and accept her own physique.
"I had a great role model in Sofia growing up, with her being a curvy woman that was super proud of who she was and what she looked like. She could see that I was struggling a little bit with how to deal with my body, and was always trying to give me advice, like, 'Here are some brands that would look good on our body type,' or 'Wear whatever you want, and feel good about yourself,'" she confessed.
