They may have had a few nasty squabbles over the years, but Amber Rose is totally sticking up for Kim Kardashian these days!
Amber, who used to date Kim's hubby Kanye West, was spotted after Dancing With The Stars rehearsals on Wednesday, and when asked about media outlets claiming Kim's robbery was faked, the former stripper defended Kim, saying, "No, don't say that, of course I believe it, of course I do!" Photogs then asked if she supported Kim, to which she replied, "Absolutely!"
As you may already know, a few websites are questioning whether Kim made up the whole robbery. Theories range from the possibility of Kim trying to collect insurance money to wanting more attention. Kim's legal team has sued MediaTakeOut.com for three posts on the website, claiming Kim "staged" the robbery. The suit, filed by Kim's attorneys Marty Singer and Andrew Brettler, slams the web site for reporting: "If she faked the robbery ... she just committed a FEDERAL CRIME," and they are demanding a retraction.

After her terrifying robbery in Paris last week, Kim Kardashian has canceled her birthday appearance at Hakkasan Nightclub in Las Vegas.
"Given recent circumstances, Kim Kardashian will be unable to make her previously scheduled appearance at Hakkasan Las Vegas Nightclub," a rep for the club told E! News. Kim's 36th birthday is on October 21, and the appearance was slated for October 28. Kim usually heads to Vegas every year to celebrate, and though she has a contract with the club, it sounds like they're willing to work things out.
Kim signed a $1 million deal with Hakkasan and agreed to make four appearances this year, and so far she's done two. But even if she doesn't return to the limelight before the end of 2016, "the club wants to maintain good relations with Kim and the rest of the Kardashians," so it seems like this is a non-issue. Still, it has us wondering when Kim will go out in public again -- and just how much she'll be changing her social media posting style moving forward.
Last Monday, Kim was gagged, bound and held at gunpoint when five masked men broke into her Paris apartment and stole nearly $11 million of jewelry. A few hours after that she jetted straight to NYC, and on Thursday she returned to Los Angeles with her two kids and mom Kris Jenner.
"Kim is doing better but she still has a long way to recover from the robbery," an insider told E! News. "She has been receiving some professional counseling. Her friends and family have been really supportive. Her sisters and mom have been checking on her every day." A source previously told E! Kim is "not sure" how much time she will take off, but it will probably be "about a month."
The insider added that hubby Kanye West, who is currently on tour, has been calling Kim every chance he gets, and they are doing "everything they can to keep the aftermath away from [Nori] ... Being around her children is the biggest distraction for [Kim's] mind. North West is aware her mom is sad and not herself, but Kanye and Kim are trying not to talk about it around her."

Gwen Stefani and boyfriend Blake Shelton headed to Disneyland in Anaheim, on Wednesday, and not only did they look all kinds of lovey dovey, but her three sons had a blast too!
The group went to both Disneyland and Disney's California Adventure, and they stopped by It's a Small World, Matterhorn Bobsleds and Alice in Wonderful. After that, Gwen took the crew to her childhood home for a brief history lesson of the beginnings of No Doubt. "We went to Disneyland today and then we went to see the Beacon Street house and now we're here," Gwen said on Snapchat. "How weird to be at the Beacon Street house right now?"
Oh, and Gwen posing for a snapshot with Donald Duck outside of Sleeping Beauty’s Castle? Loves it!

Temperatures just got a little hotter south of the border!
Ashley Graham is currently enjoying the vacation of a lifetime at the Breathless Riviera Cancun Resort & Spa in Cancun, Mexico, and she's proving just why she gets paid to model swimwear.
The Sports Illustrated stunner flaunted her enviable curves in a black bikini as she played in the surf, relaxed in the pool, and sipped cocktails in the sun. Her husband is one lucky man! The brunette beauty is super secure with her body despite Hollywood's unrealistic ideals, and she doesn't necessarily agree with America's definition of "plus size."
"I have always been told plus-size starts at a size eight and it goes up to a size 16/18. That's the problem. Like, we're telling women that they are plus-size, and for me I just like to call it 'curvesexilicious,'" she said on Ellen.
Give us her bod over a size zero chick any day of the week!
The 26-year-old Twilight star has been spotted with the oh-so-hip singer, who broke up with ex girlfriend Cara Delevingne over the summer, multiple times in the last couple of weeks.
The new duo went to the New York Film Festival screening of her latest film, Certain Women, on October 3.
A source said, “They spent almost every day together after that.â€
On October 4, they grabbed lunch at sushi restaurant Soba-Ya and strolled through NYC’s East Village. Stewart then attended St. Vincent’s October 9 concert in Los Angeles.
“It's been very romantic,†the source adds. “Kristen is always whispering closely in her ear and asking her opinion.â€â€¨
We first spotted the sexy couple having lunch together at Gracias Madre on August 30 (and clearly Kristen was in a sassy mood, giving our photogs the bird). Interestingly enough the last time anyone has seen K-Stew with her on-again/off-again girlfriend was August 27. Bye-bye Alicia, hello Annie!
In September, the surly star opened up about her love life for the first time in Elle U.K.’s September issue.
The Adventureland actress said, “Right now, I’m just really in love with my girlfriend … We’ve broken up a couple of times and gotten back together, and this time I was like, ‘Finally, I can feel again.’â€

Sounds like he's not going to take this lying down.
Billy Bush has lawyered up and may sue NBC over the leaked "Grab them by the p**sy" Donald Trump recording he was involved in, Page Six reports. The network is falling back on a "morality clause" in his contract as a justification for giving him the ax from Today, but he feels as if he's being made a scapegoat and the higher ups used the damning audio to sway the election.
The TV personality was well aware of the fact the tape existed, and was actually bragging to colleagues about it during the Rio Olympics. An investigation is now underway at NBC to identify who exactly knew about the tape and decided to leak it.
"He told people at NBC about this tape. What if there was a transcript of the tape, and high-level discussions about when to release it? Which executives were involved, and why did they decide to suppress the tape until October, when they could have aired it in August? Was it an oversight or a strategic decision by NBC to affect the race? Billy was far from the only person at NBC who was talking about the contents of this tape. On-air talent does not make the decision when to air stories like this," a source close to Bush told the news outlet.
Bush was suspended from Today on Sunday, and it doesn't sound like he's ever going to be welcomed back. "Billy is technically fired. It’s just a matter of time. NBC isn’t ready to announce it yet. They are negotiating his exit," the source added.
The most comical part in all of this? The Donald offered to help Bush handle his PR following the scandal! "Trump offered to handle some of the press, but Billy thinks his best course of action is to keep his distance," the source revealed. Hilarious!
Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony have been divorced for almost five years, but they recently reunited! No, not in that way...

"I am so excited and really looking forward to this new musical journey and to celebrate my Latin roots with Marc Anthony and the Sony/Magnus family," Jenny from the Block said in a statement.
"She has had enormous accomplishments in her career and has been representing our culture all over the world from day one. Her artistry, professionalism and passion for music are just some of the many attributes that have earned her a unique place in the entertainment world that very few people have been able to obtain. I am looking forward to our creative collaboration and to be part of continuing her musical legacy," Marc added.
