These two really are jet setters!
After less than 24 hours in France, Kim Kardashian and Kanye West are headed back to Los Angeles!
For the flight out of Paris, the mother of two, who was in the City of Lights for the brief time to do a photo shoot with Karl Lagerfeld, donned a suede duster coat, python bag, white jeans, a white tank and barely there shoes. The brunette's style was definitely in prime Kim Kardashian mode!
Kanye also opted for his regular uniform of an all-black ensemble and desert boots. What we were a little surprised to see on him was that beaming smile! The grumpy gus, who is known not to smile, couldn't help but light up when he looked at his wife and the mother of his two children. Too cute!
Meanwhile, in an unlikely turn of events, Kimbo took to Twitter to share her thoughts on gun control after the deadly mass shooting in Florida on Sunday.
The reality star, who is not known for her political leanings, posted a series of tweets later that day calling out Congress for its failure to close the “terror gap,†which is a legal loophole that allows individuals on terrorist watch lists to purchase firearms legally.
We think Kimmy K has a point -- but really she's not the one we want to hear the points from ... maybe she should just stick to selfies?
Under current federal law people on terror watch lists can legally buy guns – this is called the Terror Gap

We have repeatedly called on Congress to close this loophole that makes it easy for dangerous people to get guns & kill.

Nothing has changed!!!! People continue to senselessly die. When will these gun laws be changed?!?!?!?!!!!?????

We can't imagine what he must be going through.
Christina Grimmie's brother Marcus paid an emotional tribute to the slain singer at a hometown vigil in New Jersey on Monday night, and he also took the opportunity to mourn the loss of those senselessly killed in the Orlando nightclub shooting.
"Christina was awesome. She loved this town, she loved this state, she loved singing, she loved the Lord and she loved me. She was my baby sister. The tragedy that took place was at a free meet-and-greet post-show. I missed the first glimpse, but witnesses say she was arms open wide [to the shooter]. She had no idea and she treated everybody the same," he began.
The Voice finalist was gunned down by a deranged fan named Kevin Loibl on Friday, and Marcus is being hailed a hero for tackling her attacker before he could harm any more innocent people.
Grimmie then took a moment to honor the lives lost in the Orlando terrorist attack. "About four miles from where we were staying, there was a huge tragedy to Orlando, to the U.S., the LGBT community, to the whole world. Fifty people dead, who knows who's injured, and I come home to this," he said, gesturing to the crowd.
"I have no words … I had five people fly out [to Orlando], my mom and dad — people bought them plane tickets. Adam Levine paid for Christina's funeral … Selena [Gomez] is singing a song and crying. These people didn't have that. And we're blessed to, so I'm at a great peace right now. She's in a better place. You guys didn't know her like I did. She was awesome," he concluded.
Add Justin Bieber to the list of mourners, too! Last night at his concert while performing "Purpose," the crooner broke down in tears as he gave a shout out to Grimmie. Watch the video below.

Hello boobies!
On Monday Caitlyn Jenner stepped out for coffee in Malibu, and the reality starlet showed off her assets in a sexy mesh top. We love the fact that she's comfortable enough to love the skin that she's now in -- and based on the sultry looks she was giving photographers, she's eating up the attention.
In a recent interview with The Sydney Morning Herald the 66-year-old transgender star said, "'For the first time in my life I don't feel like I'm waking up lying." Cait added that her toughest challenge was saying goodbye to her former self. "When you get our name changed, gender marker changed, all that kind of stuff, you know it's the right thing to do in your heart but sometimes I did feel like I was throwing [Bruce] out," she said.
In other news, Cait shared a heartfelt message in response to the horrific shooting in Orlando over the weekend. She tweeted on Sunday, "Shocked & heartbroken. Sending all my thoughts & prayers to my bothers & sisters in Orlando. Be safe the rest of this weekend friends #pride."

Khloe Kardashian has never looked better.
The reality starlet ditched her bra and flaunted her cleavage in a black wrap top when she went shopping at Saks Fifth Avenue on Monday, and if you're going to go bra-less, this is how you do it. Khloe cruised around Beverly Hills in her black Rolls Royce Phantom before her retail therapy session, and from the sleek ride to her sexy outfit, we're all about her look.
Khloe posted a rather cryptic tweet on Sunday night, writing, "It's not the future that you're afraid of. It's repeating the past that makes you anxious." While she didn't explain it, it should be noted that this was right after an episode of Keeping Up With The Kardashians aired, which focused on her divorce from Lamar Odom.
"I don't look at Lamar in a romantic way. I want to have kids one day. I might wanna get remarried one day! So I'm just gonna sit in this weird space? Like, what?" she said during the show. "I need to move on, and I will be filing for divorce very soon."

Conan O'Brien got serious on Monday evening during the opening monologue on Conan, addressing the tragic shooting in Orlando, Florida.
49 people were killed and at least 50 more were injured when Omar Mateen opened fire inside of Pulse nightclub in Orlando on Saturday night. It is the deadliest mass shooting in U.S. history, and police have labeled it as an "act of terrorism."
"Tonight sadly is one of those nights. At a time when we think we've heard the worst stories about senseless violence in our country, that it couldn't possibly get worse, the news out of Orlando yesterday is still impossible to fathom," O'Brien, 53, said. "That so many people can lose their lives so quickly because of one person's demented rage will never make sense and god help us if it does."
"I am not a pundit, I am not an expert and always made it a policy to stick to my job, and keep my opinions to myself. I have really tried very hard over the years not to bore you with what I think," he continued. "However I am the father of two, and I like to believe I have a shred of common sense and I simply do not understand why anybody in this country is allowed to purchase and own a semi automatic assault rifle. These are weapons of war and they have no place in civilian life. I do not know what the answer is, but I wanted to take just a moment here tonight to agree with the rapidly growing sentiment in America that it's time to grow up and figure this out."

The claws are back out!
Amber Rose has reignited her war of words with Kim and the rest of the Kardashian clan, this time by trying to explain her previous comments about underage Kylie Jenner's relationship with then-boyfriend Tyga. "I don’t hate. Being a dancer and dealing with older men, gave me the humility and knowledge to speak on such a subject," she told the website.
Then she threw in the big dig!
"But let’s face it. The only reason these girls have a career is because their older sister had a little fun on tape," she quipped. Ouch! The bald beauty and Kimmy K had a meet-up to squash their beef after the whole "fingers in the a**hole" drama with Kanye, but Muva is clearly not ready to let it go!

Scary!
Lil Wayne suffered a seizure mid-flight from Milwaukee to California and his plane was forced to make an emergency landing in Nebraska, TMZ reports. The rapper was unconscious as he was greeted on the tarmac by emergency personnel, but he declined further medical treatment.
This isn't the first time this has happened, either!
Weezy suffered seizures two days in a row on flights in 2012, and suffered another near-fatal one in 2013. The Louisiana-born mogul previously revealed he has been suffering from epilepsy since childhood, but some are speculating that his hard drug use and wild lifestyle are to blame for his recurring health condition.
"I'm an epileptic, so I'm prone to seizures," Wayne told Los Angeles radio station Power 106. "This isn't my first, second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh seizure. I've had a bunch of seizures. Y'all just never hear about it. The reason being for the seizures is just plain stress, no rest and overworking myself. That's typical me, though. It got real bad because I got three [seizures] in a row, and on the third one my heart rate went down to, like, 30 percent," he explained.
Maybe flying all the time isn't helping things? Just a thought!
In a horrific turn of events, former Voice contestant Christina Grimmie was shot and killed after her concert in Orlando, Florida, on Friday, June 10. Her brother Marcus, who was the person who helped saves the lives of many as he tackled the shooter to the ground, posted on social media that former coach, Adam Levine has offered to pay for her funeral.
“I found out this morning that Adam Levine personally called my mother and said he will pay for her funeral and her plane flight, and I was blown away,†Marcus shared in the post.
The Maroon 5 frontman, who has coached Grimmie to third place on the sixth season of The Voice back in 2014, seems to be feeling the deep affects of this loss. On Saturday, the 37-year-old tweeted, "Behati and I are absolutely devastated and heartbroken by Christina Grimmie’s death. Our hearts go out to her family."
Adam also told Us Weekly in a statement, “Behati [Prinsloo] and I are absolutely devastated and heartbroken by Christina Grimmie’s tragic death. Our hearts go out to her family. Christina was a natural, a gifted talent that comes along so rarely. She was taken from us too soon. This is yet another senseless act of extreme violence. I am left stunned and confused how these things can conceivably continue to happen in our world.â€
The singer isn't the only one who is reeling -- many fans have taken to social media to give condolences to the 22-year-old's family. Selena Gomez, whose father managed the YouTube star, broke down during a tribute to the slain singer during her concert in Miami on Saturday night.
