Kim Kardashian and Kanye West welcomed their second child, a baby boy, over the weekend, and speculation has been rife about what he'll be named.

In true Kimye fashion, they've been keeping us in major suspense – in fact, it's thought they may not have picked a name at all.

"They had a list of names and were going to decide when he got here," a source close to the pair told Us Weekly yesterday.

"I don’t know that they’ve decided on one yet."

According to various sources, Kim plans to honour her late father's memory by using the middle name "Robert" for her newborn son, but there's no sign of a first name.

Don't get your hopes up for a big reveal just yet though, as Kim admitted shortly before giving birth that she wasn't placing too much priority on her son's name,.

"I feel like it will just come to us," she told People last month. It took a full week before North's name was revealed when she was born back in June 2013, and Kim says it's likely to be a similar situation this time around.

"It’s like the last thing Kanye and I did when North was born. We didn’t name her for like seven days," she said.

While we wait, here are a few suggestions we'd be happy to share with Kimye if they're stuck…

Balmain
No doubt the little fella will be clad in Olivier Rousteing's designs from day one, so why not just name him after them too?

 

Storm
There was major confusion this weekend when fans mistook the #StormDesmond hashtag as a sign the baby had been named. We say embrace the error and go with "Storm".

 

Karl
Mr. Lagerfeld would be delighted.

 

Yeezy Jr
It would make it easy for Kanye to pass his Adidas shoe legacy on to his son, at least.

 

Bound 2
This way the little lad will always be reminded of that time his parents humped on the back of a motorbike.

Kim Kardashian and Kanye West welcomed their newborn baby boy into the world yesterday; but there was nothing typical about Kimmy's maternity ward. 

The reality star gave birth in serious style, opting for a $4000 (€3700)-a-night luxury maternity suite at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles, which comes with meal delivery and even free bathrobes for Kanye to enjoy.

People reports that Kim, Kanye and their new son are all resting in the VIP suite, which also holds three bedrooms and two bathrooms for family and friends to stay in.

"They both seem excited. They are receiving a lot of gifts, including baskets and flowers. The suite is also decorated with blue balloons."

So far Khloe is the only Kardashian sister to have visited so far, as we're assuming Kris was with Kim for the birth, while Kylie is partying in Miami.

Kim gave birth to her first child, North, in Cedars-Sinai Medical Centre, as well as her sister Kourtney.

Other celebs splashing the cash to give birth at the luxury centre are Victoria Beckham, stylist Rachel Zoe, and Kate Hudson.

After months of pregnancy style and controversial baby boy names, Kim Kardashian West has given birth to a baby boy. 

In a statement made on her website, a spokesperson for the mum-of-two said, "Kim Kardashian West and her husband, Kanye West, welcomed the arrival of their son this morning. Mother and son are doing well."

Along with the statement was a snap of Kim and Kanya holding hands. 

 

Ready whenever you are lol

It was only yesterday the reality star posted a picture on Instagram of her bare baby bump with the caption, "Ready whenever you are lol."

Kim's baby was obviously very ready too!

The entire Kardashian-Jenner clan gathered at Khloé's home for Thanksgiving last week – but not everyone in attendance was a family member.

Kim, Kylie and Khloé all shared the same family snap on their Instagram feeds, showing the famous family gathered for a group photo: grandkids, (ex-)boyfriends and all.

As well as the presence of Scott Disick, plus a rare sighting of Kris and Caitlyn Jenner together, many fans wondered who on earth the guy in the camo jumper on the left could be.

Kourtney's new boyfriend? Kim and Kanye's manny? A male model brought along by Kendall?

None of the above, as it turns out. The man in question, J. Sakiya Sandifer, grew up with Kanye in Chicago and is counted among the rapper's best friends, according to TMZ.

So solid is their bromance that Kanye and Sakiya even penned a book of inspiring quotes together, Thank You and You're Welcome, back in 2009.

And if there was any doubt as to Sakiya's connection with the family, here he is as a groomsman at Kanye and Kim's May 2014 wedding, walking Kylie down the aisle:

Apparently, Sakiya was in LA on business and the close-knit family invited him along for a home-cooked meal. 

As for Scott's presence in the family photo, he and Kourtney have been spotted together more frequently of late, even spotted laughing and smiling together as they took their son Mason on a shopping trip over the weekend.

They were also photographed out for lunch in Calabasas a few days before the family celebration.

A picture is worth a thousand words, especially a Kardashian-Jenner family photo.

Forget megadivas like Mariah Carey or Jennifer Lopez… when it comes to outrageous backstage demands; rappers Jay Z and Kanye West are WELL able to hold their own.

In fact, a just-seen list of their concert requests has now been made public, and suffice to say it all makes for some rather eyebrow-raising reading.

Jay Z, for example, likes his suite to be kept at a pleasant 21.5C – and he likes to have three €72-a-pop Mayan tuberose-scented candles from Belle Fleur lit also.

Mr Carter also dictates that staff aren’t allowed to vacuum near his room, and they’re told not to approach him to ask for free concert tickets either (although we can’t say we blame him for that one).

Meanwhile, TMZ reports Mr West like any vases present in his room to be cylindrical (yup, as you do). He also requires staff to hunt down a Genelecs 1031a speaker… a model which was discontinued a decade ago.

He furthermore likes to have minty dental floss at his disposal; requests only all-black towels and wants Kashi Go Lean cereal.

It’s not all entirely clean-living, mind: the 37-year-old husband of Kim Kardashian asks for a total of 13 bottles of booze – including three bottles of Paradis Hennessy cognac – totaling around €3,000.

Unsurprisingly, Jay Z just wants €275 Ace Of Spades champagne – although since he owns the company, he isn’t charged for the bottles (lucky him).

With Blue Ivy about, Jay asks for the entire suite to be childproofed with all corners, sharp edges, and electrical outlets all covered, and statues, lamps, and breakable objects removed. And FYI, the three-and-a-half year old only drinks organic whole milk.

At just two years old, North West has already had her fill of paparazzi intrusion.

So much so that she had a few choice words for photographers who were blocking her way into ballet class in California yesterday.

Trotting past the assembled paps with her nanny, North could be heard saying, "I said NO pictures".

Wearing a gold tutu and a custom-made baby Balmain military-style jacket, the toddler looked adorable, but was more than ready to tell off anyone who got in her way.

If we were those photographers, we certainly wouldn't get on North's bad side – she may be a cutie but she's already super-fierce. Just look at that scowl:

Though her mum Kim has always courted the media very calmly, North seems to be following the lead of her dad Kanye West, who has famously lost it with paparazzi on various occasions.

In September 2013, the rapper lashed out at photographers who were assembled in his driveway at 4am, asking him questions as he tried to close his garage door. 

Give it another few years, and we could see North West doing the same…

She's had it.

Celebrities tend to celebrate the same things that most of us do too (birthdays, anniversaries, baby news), but what us mere mortals DON'T celebrate is stuff like getting millions of followers on Instagram

After realising she had 50 million followers on IG, Kim posted a snap to thank all her fans:

"WAIT!!!! I KNOW I'M LATE BUT 50 MILLION INSTAGRAM FOLLOWERS!!!! SERIOUSLY YOU DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH I LOVE YOU!!" she wrote, along with the selfie of her and a half-smiling Kanye.

But the next photo she posted made us all swoon. The picture showed a very happy North at Kim's baby shower, dressed in pink stripe PJ's, with the caption: "Our troop leader."

Seriously, how cute is that kid?

She's now admitted that while expecting North, her fashion choices were a little off. 

In fact, Kim Kardashian says that looking back at those 2013 snaps, she is nothing short of "mortified". 

Last month, she declared: "Everyone used to say Kourtney had the best pregnancy style, so I would borrow a dress she wore when she was pregnant, and OMG it did not look the same!"

Suffice to say, however, that this time round she's nailed it – wowing her fans and observers with an array of killer maternity looks. 

Now, as we say a very big HAPPY 35th BIRTHDAY to the one and only Kim Kardashian West, we take a look at the 10 times when she absolutely nailed it in the pregnancy style stakes.

 

1) One of her earlier looks, Kim killed it in this skin-tight, plunging latex piece by Atsuko Kudo back in June:

 

2) Swoon! Posing up with Kanye last month in advance of a New York society wedding – clad in a €4,000 Valentino gown:

 

3) So daring… But she certainly pulls it all off. Lace and black and all sorts of see-through as envisioned by Givenchy. We love it:

 

4) She hadn't announced her pregnancy when the Met Gala took place – but she was already two months along. And we reckon she's never looked better:

 

5) In Proenza Schouler for the CFDA Fashion Awards. We're pretty sure only Ms Kardashian could make this work:

 

6) She doesn't just do black: Kim kept it casual (sorta) in this skin-tight beige attire – completing the look with a Lanvin coat:

 

7) At the DASH store in West Hollywood in June – this fringed number from Magda Butrym and the denim jacket are to die for:

 

8) The 2015 MTV Video Music Awards was evidently a seriously stylish affair, with Mrs West embracing the glamour of the evening in Balmain:

 

9) Ravishing in white, Kim was pictured in Hollywood in July wearing this stunning dress from Wolford

 

10) Kim Kardashian arrived at the Cosmopolitan 50th birthday earlier this month – completing her look with a €2,250 Balmain necklace:

With every interview Kanye gives, he makes it more and more difficult to tell when his new studio album, SWISH, will be released. 

There's still no information on when that's going to happen (hopefully soon) BUT last night, the rapper unexpectedly shared two new songs to his Soundcloud account. 

The first song is a reworking of 8o8s & Heartbreak song, Say You Will, featuring Caroline Shaw, the youngest composer to win a Pulitzer Prize for music. 

The second is Kanye's version of The Weeknd's Tell Your Friends, which Mr West produced for Beauty Behind the Madness

It hasn't been confirmed that these songs will make it on to his new album, but they do give Yeezy fans a glimmer of hope that SWISH might actually happen one day soon.

Scheduled to take place this weekend at the same Beverly Hills abode where Lamar Odom and her sister Khloe married in 2009, Kim Kardashian has now cancelled her baby shower.

Currently seven months pregnant, the 34-year-old was due to be joined by a host of well-known and influential pals ahead the birth of her and Kanye West's second child.

However, in light of recent developments, the entire Kardashian-Jenner family is now eager to stay close to Mr Odom, who is battling for his life in hospital. He collapsed at a Nevada brothel on Tuesday evening.

"She's totally focused on being there for Khloe right now," an insider told E! News of Kim's decision to cancel the celebration.

The theme of the shower was Troop Beverly Hills – based on the 1989 cult movie of the same name – and was being hosted by one of Kim's BFF, Allison Azoffat her family's estate.

It was there that Khloe and Lamar also wed – back in September 2009 after a whirlwind, month-long romance. 

Furthermore, it has now emerged that Mr Odom spent some €65,000 in just three days at the Love Ranch before he was found unconscious. 

Sources at the Ranch told TMZ that the establishment arranged to have Lamar picked up from his Las Vegas home and chauffeured 100km to the brothel.

The website went on to say that when the former professional basketball player got there, he was presented with a lineup of girls. 

He then chose two of them – a pair who were "at his beck and call" for the entire stay.

 

Let's dance again together soon. Prayers up for Lamar please.

And the total cost for his VIP suite, board and the girls for the three days before he was rushed by ambulance to hospital? An astonishing €65,000.

Earlier this year it was announced that Amber Rose and Blac Chyna would be “baring it all” for a reality series that would “focus on [the two women] taking care of their kids while juggling work, including club appearances.”

However last week, not long after the Slut Walk organised by Amber, the show was apparently scrapped.

Originally the rumours were that the show had fallen about as the two women had suddenly decides that they no longer wanted to work together. 

Amber Rose and Blac Chyna’s Reality Show Was Canceled Because Kim Kardashian Made a Phone Call

Apparently, that’s not the entire story. It might be because one of reality TV's most famous faces picked up the phone, and she was none too pleased.

According to Radar Online:

“Kim has spoken to Amber Rose this past weekend. She wanted to let her know that she and Kanye both thought that it took a lot of courage to do what she did and that they are both ready to move on from the drama and start fresh.”

However, the rest of the chat between the two was not as pleasant. An insider has reported:

“Without being able to trash the Kardashians, they just felt like their show does not have much weight any more,” says the source. Meanwhile, the Kardashians were said to be 'thrilled'.

The Kardashians were apparently “living in fear” of the show and all the secrets the two women could potentially expose. But now that it’s been cancelled, plenty of tabloids are waiting for any rumblings surrounding  for Scott Disick’s 'tell-all' instead.

Kanye West seems strangely intend on actually running for the White House in 2020 – and now the current US President has weighed in on the rapper's political aspirations.

"It couldn’t get any stranger," Barack Obama playfully told a crowd of Democratic donors in San Francisco on Saturday.

It was a fundraiser that Mr West himself headlined, with his wife Kim also being spotted among the revellers. 

 

Special delivery #yeezys

And Ms Kardashian made sure to send the President a couple of gifts once the event had wrapped up.

"Special delivery," she captioned an Instagram snap depicting two pairs of Kanye's trainers – the original Yeezy Boost 350, along with the boot-style Yeezy Boost 750 – which had been ear-marked for the President.

Both styles retail for a few hundred euro each.

Mr Obama had earlier in the day leant some invaluable advice to the multi Grammy award-winner – so perhaps Kim felt she owed Barack a favour. 

"In case Kanye is serious about this whole POTUS thing – or as he calls it, 'peezy' – I do have some advice for him," Mr Obama had told the gathering.

"First of all, you have to spend some time dealing with some strange characters who act like they're on a reality TV show. You gotta be cool with that.

"Second important tip: Saying you have a beautiful dark twisted fantasy – that's what's known as off message in politics," he furthermore stated. 

"And number three: Do you really think this country's going to elect a black guy from the South Side of Chicago with a funny name to be president of the US? That’s crazy. Cray."

Of course, both Mr Obama and Mr West both hail from Chicago's south side.
