When Karlie Kloss was asked her opinion of Kim Kardashian recently, she did what most media-trained celebrities do and played the perfect diplomat.

Despite the fact millions thought Kim was responsible for the ruination of Taylor Swift's 'good girl' image, Tay's pal refused to be drawn into the drama, and instead erred on the side of caution by offering a vague pleasantry about the reality TV star.

"Look, I really don't know her that well," Karlie told The Sunday Times before noting that Kim had 'always been a lovely person' to her.

But if the Victoria's Secret model thought she had dodged a bullet with that remark, she was sorely mistaken as media outlets had a field day suggesting that Karlie had let down the 'squad' by missing an opportunity to slam Kim.

The rumour mill, unsurprisingly, went into overdrive as Tay-haters (Tayters? Ok, no) decided that Karlie's lacklustre remarks indicated a lack of solidarity within Taylor's infamous squadron of long-legged beauties.

And it looks like Karlie has officially had enough.

Taking to Twitter, 24-year-old Karlie made her feelings know, writing: "I will not allow the media to misconstrue my words. Taylor has always had my back and I will always have hers."
 

"And I will never be the girl that you can use to pit women against each other. That isn't me," she added.

Seemingly certain that Karlie would have to address the furore at some point this week, fans of the model were on hand to offer sisterly support.

"You are an amazing woman and friend," wrote one while another added: "You don't have to explain yourself to the public. As long as @taylorswift13 knows your true feelings, that's all matters."

Unfortunately not everyone bought it, with one Twitter user responding: "But your precious Tay Swift is the one who also pits women against each other." 

Ouch!

It's rare you hear Ellen DeGeneres coming under fire for anything, so when she does find herself on the receiving end of public criticism media outlets really do sit up and pay attention.

As the darling of daytime chat shows and the queen of all things Oscar-related, Ellen has barely put a foot wrong since her star ascended in mid-nineties, but it looks like the day has come for the 58-year-old star.

Taking to Twitter earlier this week, Ellen shared a photoshopped snap of herself and Jamaican sprinter, Usain Bolt, and joked that she was going to require Usain's assistance for all future tasks.

Pictured riding on the back of the Olympic gold medallist, Ellen wrote: "This is how I’m running errands from now on."

While the vast majority of Ellen's followers took the post in the manner it was intended, a vast number took exception and wasted no time calling the star out on the racist connotations of the photograph.

"You thought it'd be funny to post a pic of yourself riding on the back of a Black man? Nope," wrote one. "Delete this racist garbage."

"This is utterly f*cking ridiculous. How dare you!?" slammed one while another added: "Ellen, your whiteness is showing."

Responding to the accusations, Ellen swiftly attempted to placate social media users, insisting: "I am highly aware of the racism that exists in our country. It is the furthest thing from who I am."

Unfortunately for Ellen, not everyone was satisfied by her follow-up tweet with many demanding an explanation for the post.

After months of endless speculation and recrimination, the divorce case between Amber Heard and Johnny Depp has come to an official end.

According to reports emerging from the States, the actress chose to settle with Depp thereby bringing the high-profile case to a close.

TMZ reports that Amber 'settled the case with prejudice' which means the actress can never re-file against the Pirates of the Caribbean star, and she has, in addition to this, dropped the restraining order she had issued against him.

Releasing a statement in the aftermath of today's decision, the former couple said: "Our relationship was intensely passionate and at times volatile, but always bound by love."

"There was never an intent of physical or emotional harm," it continued.

"Amber wishes the best for Johnny in the future. Amber will be donating financial proceeds from the divorce to a charity," it concluded.

Kendall Jenner is set to appear on the cover of Vogue's September issue, and while that is (obviously) a major career milestone in itself, being asked to take part in the #73Questions segment with everyone's favourite style bible has a kudos all of its own.

From Victoria Beckham to Taylor Swift, the public have seen high-profile individuals field rapid-fire questions while showing fans around their private space, and frankly we love it.

Sharing footage of her own experience on Instagram this afternoon, Kendall can be seen leading an interviewer around her family's Calabasas home, while offering an insight into what makes Kendall…well, Kendall.

From sharing her best fashion tips and biggest splurges to revealing her hidden talent, the runway sensation reveals what makes her tick… and then some.

Oh, and obviously, there's a cameo from everyone's favourite momager, Kris Jenner…

To the vast majority of movie-goers, Trainwreck, starring Amy Schumer and Bill Haderwas a laugh-a-minute, modern-day romcom, but to clamouring journalists it acted as a platform with which to deride the film's female protagonist. 

According to Amy Schumer, promoting the 2015 release – which acted as a clear departure from traditional romcoms – was a complete nightmare for the writer and actress.

Laying bare her thoughts on her experience while promoting the movie in Europe and Australia, the 35-year-old star recently wrote: "Maybe it was just a cultural thing that made the foreign journalists seem out of line."

"Some interviewers brought this vibe: Well, you talk about sexual subject matter in your movie, so I can say anything I want to you'," she recalled. "Which made me want to shower for the rest of my life."

When discussing the film's themes, Amy remembers being asked by a reporter in Australia: “So your character is a skank. Do you have a word for skank in America?” 

And if that wasn't demeaning enough, Amy was forced to field questions about her own sex life while promoting the movie in Berlin.

When asked what she was like in bed, Amy's co-star Bill leaped to the actress's defence, but was placated by Amy who felt that it was par for the course at this stage.

"Bill didn’t like this question and stood up for me, but I said it was fine and explained that it was like being with one of those performers who stand on boxes on street corners spray-painted entirely in silver,"

"The only difference, I said, is that no one ever gave me a dollar," she added.

We knew those press junkets could get awkward, but seriously?

Having carved out a hugely successful career for herself in spite of initial gender-specific criticism, one would be forgiven for thinking that Kim Kardashian would happily consider herself a feminist.

But as the audience at the BlogHer conference learned earlier this month, that is not a label which sits too comfortable with the mother-of-two.

"I love to support other women, but I’m not the ‘free-the-nipple’ type girl," she explained at the time.

Hailing from a predominantly female family with a strong matriarchal presence, many were aghast that Kim would be reluctant to wear the Feminist badge proudly.

Responding to the discussion which was ignited as a result of Kim's off-the-cuff remark, the 35-year-old penned a piece which offers an insight into her perspective on the situation.

"For me, a feminist is someone who advocates for the civil and social rights and liberties of all people, regardless of their gender; anyone who believes that women should have the same choices and opportunities as men when it comes to education and employment, their bodies and their lifestyles."

And while Kim says she obviously wants to do all these things while empowering and uplifting women, she shies away from labels.

"Why do we have to put labels on things?" she asked. "You’re Republican, you’re Democrat, you’re bisexual, you’re plus-size, you’re poor, you’re a criminal, you’re a mother, you’re a feminist."

Kim insisted that over-simplication is the issue, continuing: "I’m a human being, and I have thoughts, feelings and opinions about a lot of different things."

"I don’t need to be defined by those beliefs, just as much as I don’t want to be set apart from – or viewed as being against – those who DO define themselves by those beliefs," she explained.

The KUWTK star  clarified her position by adding: "The fight for equality is about ALL human beings being treated equally – regardless of gender, sexuality or ethnicity."

And now we know.

Look, we're as big a fan of Carpool Karaoke as the next person… unless that person is willing to kidnap James Corden in order to recreate the segment, that is.

And then we're officially out.

The Late Late Show's super-popular music segment has gained a global following, and it looks like some people will do anything – even break the law – for their 15 minutes with the king of the carpool.

Speaking to The Wrap, the 37-year-old British star explained that while at home in London, he was accosted by a group of teenagers who forced him to take part in their own British version of the segment.

"I was crossing the street in London a few weeks ago and there were these four kids," he explained. "They were like 18, 19. They sort of forced me to get in the car."

Having clearly ignored everything he was taught about stranger danger as a child, James went with it, and ended up having an impromptu Carpool Karaoke session with a group of randomers.

"They all had their camera phones out and we were just singing along to the radio. I was like, 'Am I being kidnapped?" he recalled.

Not exactly James, but not far off.

Ah Victoria, we've idolised her since the days of the point and pout.

Admittedly, she went through a particularly dodgy period in the mid noughties when bodycon dresses and platinum bobs were the height of schtyle, but ever since establishing herself as a revered fashion designer, Victoria Beckham has brought her A-game 

And while her wardrobe is something most of us can only dream of owning, it looks like channelling our inner VB may actually be a lot easier than any of us thought.

Taking to Twitter to promote her new line with Estee Lauder, Vic talks fans through her admirably short make-up routine, and the public can't get enough.

"I've been waiting for a Victoria Beckham make up collab forever!" wrote one while another gushed: "Major!! Super excited for this collection. And the packaging looks great! Bring it!"

We could watch this over and over.

Keeping Up With the Kardashians fans will likely remember an episode where Kim got an X-ray to prove – once and for all – that her world-famous bum comes down to nothing more than good genes.

And while many would argue that that should have been enough to silence cynics, it clearly wasn't as the mum-of-two is still regularly plagued by rumours that she's had cosmetic surgery on her derriére.

Addressing the rumours during a recent live stream on her website, Kim ventured a guess as to why the implant rumour has yet to fall by the wayside.
 

Kim, who suffers from psoriasis, treats the skin condition with cortisone injections, and despite being told they there was little chance she would develop an indent in her bum as a result of the injections, that's exactly what happened.

"One of my neighbours was a dermatologist at Cedars," 35-year-old Kim tells fans online. ”I go in there and he’s like, ‘There’s a one in a billion chance that you will get a huge indent in your butt.’ Of course I get a huge indent on my butt."

Aware that this likely added to speculation, Kim explained: “There is a picture of me in Miami wearing an electric blue dress, and another picture of me walking down Robertson."

"You see the indent. And I think that’s when the rumours started, ‘She’s had implants’." Kim surmises.

Insistent that the indent is the result of injections recieved solely to treat psoriasis, Kim assures fans: "Every few years I get a cortisone shot. That’s a little unknown fact of me."

And there you have it.

Gaining the approval of your other half's parents isn't necessarily required, but let's face it, it does make life a whole lot easier if you don't have in-law issues to tend with on a daily basis.

Unfortunately for Kendall Jenner, it sounds like she's got her work cut out for her if she wants to win over her new boyfriend's uber-protective stepmother.

With speculation rife that Kendall and A$AP Rocky are more than just friends, the rapper's stepmum has decided to weigh in on the rumours, and she's none too happy right now.

Speaking exclusively to the Daily Mail Online, 38-year-old Kari said: "I’ve heard all about him dating Kendall and I don’t like it."

Kari didn't hold back when offering her assessment of the reality television family, adding: "Everything I hear about the Kardashians makes me think they are a bad family for Rakim to be involved with."

In the court of public opinion, men who become involved with the Kardashian/ Jenner family often fall victim to the media machine, and it sounds like Kari is particularly conscious of this.

"I don’t want him being dragged into that circus, he is too good for that and can do so much better," she explained.

A$AP Rocky and Kendall have been spotted on numerous dates in recent weeks – something which Kari hopes will come to an end soon.

"They are just not the kind of people I’d like to see him hanging around with," she admitted.

We wonder what Kris Jenner will have to say about that one.

When it comes to reality television, it's no secret that the Kardashian family currently have the market cornered.

And while the family's show – and the numerous spin-offs it has had over the years – are often considered a guilty pleasure by the viewing public, that hasn't stopped them tuning in in their millions every week…until now, that is.

While countless are continuously fascinated by the world-famous family's most elusive member, Rob, it seems they're not quite ready for his solo endeavour.

And with the official sneak peek for his reality show –  featuring fiancée Blac Chyna – dropping yesterday, the public took to Twitter in their droves to slam the programme.

Commenting on the trailer which shows the tension which exists within Rob and Chyna's relationship, one Twitter user wrote: "This whole show is just wrong!"

"What's with the violence and drama: if he's texting someone else… Break up!"

"All aboard for the train wreck!" wrote another while someone else commented: "Yup. This teaser is proof that civilization is doomed."

"Seriously? Who the f**k cares about these two a-holes?" questioned yet another.

Luckily for Rob and Chyna, not everyone will feel the need to switch over once it becomes a TV regular.

Some members of the public know that a dose of reality TV when you have the Sunday Night Fear is the only thing for you.

We're with her on that one.

Kendall Jenner has, unfortunately, learned the hard way that her global profile can have a devastating effect on her sense of personal space and security following a terrifying incident at her Hollywood home last night.

Returning to the multi-million dollar mansion which she only recently bought, the runway sensation and reality TV star was confronted by an individual who had been waiting on the property.

According to TMZ, as 20-year-old Kendall approached the gates of her home she saw an individual waiting in her driveway, and as she made her way towards her house, he began to follow her.

It is understood that Kendall immediately contacted the police and remained in her car until authorities arrived and arrested the individual.

Police sources have confirmed that there was a warrant out for the individual's arrest before being arrested for stalking last night.

We can't even imagine how terrified she must have been.
