We are seriously beginning to think that Taylor and her girl squad are planning on taking over the world and we are starting to get a little worried. 

Taylor has claimed pretty much every celebrity every as her BFF while performing all over the world as part of her 1989 World Tour and last night she was pictured with quite a few of them. 

She showed up on the red carpet for the VMAs with some of her pals in tow, including Cara Deleveinge, Gigi Hadid, Karlie Kloss and the rest of the cast for her music video Bad Blood. 

Taylor, who was nominated for nine awards, scooped four of the coveted trophies last night including two awards for Blank Space and two for Bad Blood. 

The singer went on stage to accept the Video of The Year award for Bad Blood while joined by her girl squad and her collaborator Kendrick Lamar.

Aside from just winning awards, Taylor presented them too, giving Kanye West the Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award to honour his career to date. 

Back in 2009 when Taylor won an award over Beyoncé, Kanye stormed to the stage to tell her that Queen Bey should have won. This year, Kanye pretended to run on stage during her acceptance speech before sitting back down again and pretending to take a nap. 

Kanye then went on to give an 11 minute speech during which he announced that he is going to run for president in the year 2020. 

Here is the full list of awards from last night:

In an interview with C Magazine Kim Kardashian has revealed how hard she took the criticism she received during her first pregnancy.

The reality star bore the brunt of a lot of unfair comments about her weight gain in her last pregnancy, even though most of those extra pounds were due to preeclampsia, a condition characterised by high blood pressure and fluid retention.

"Everyone would make fun of [me], not understanding that I had this condition," she says.

The 34-year-old said all of this was extremely hurtful during her last pregnancy and it affected how much she wanted to be photographed being out and about. 

"Before I was always smiling, and so into being out and about. After I had the baby, I was like, these are the same people that made fun of me, and posted the stories that were so awful, calling me fat for something I couldn’t control. I don’t want to smile for them. I don’t want to be out."

Despite the hurtful comments, Kim was keen to conceive again, but conceiving a second time proved extremely tough. One complication in particular which made the process difficult was placenta accreta, a condition which required a few minor operations. 

The mother of one, who is expecting her second child at the end of this year, said she went to great lengths in the hope of becoming pregnant for a second time but that it was an extremely long road. 

"I would go to the doctor in Beverly Hills every day at five in the morning to get tested to see if I was ovulating. I was trying everything: I did acupuncture and got a nutritionist to eat healthier, thinking that was an issue."

Kim went on to say that constantly trying so hard to get pregnant may have ruined the excitement a bit saying: "It takes the fun out of it. I’m like, 'I’m ovulating, get home now!' He’d be like, 'Wait, I’m in the studio.'”

Kim then explained that she may have to go as far as having her uterus removed following the birth of her second child. 

"Well, they think I’ll have placenta accreta again, so if the placenta grows a little bit deeper than it did last time, then they are prepared to have my uterus removed, which is a little scary for me. I think we’re just gonna go day by day, see how overwhelming it is, and see how the delivery goes."

Wishing her all the best.

Kim and Kanye – the love story: he popped the question just months after her divorce from Kris Humphries had been finalised.

Surrounded by their close friends and family, the intimate and special moment was, of course, captured by the Keeping Up With The Kardashian cameras.

Significantly, however, it was a milestone that wasn’t shared with viewers until February 2014 – a full four months after the event actually took place.

So understandably when unauthorised footage of the proposal was leaked online via video-sharing platform MixBit, the couple was furious.

Still, today they both can be a little less irate: they’ve been given €390,000 in compensation by Chad Hurley, the founder of YouTube and MixBit, and the man who captured the incident.

TMZ reports that Kimye had claimed in legal documents that Mr Hurley had manipulated his way into AT&T Park in San Francisco back in October 2013 to witness Kanye's proposal.

And even though he signed a confidentiality agreement, Chad still secretly recorded the video, later posting it to his site.

The West’s lawyer, Eric George, claimed that the web entrepreneur was desperate to make his then just launched video-sharing company a success: he’s a multi-millionaire following the sale of YouTube to Google in 2006 for €1.45bn, but he’s since struggled to replicate that with another online winner.

Mr Hurley now only has a few days to cough-up the six-figure sum, though MixBit pays him an annual salary of €4m and he’s worth €315m on the back of the YouTube sale, so we reckon he won't be too hard up afterwards.

It was the title that somehow eluded the otherwise undisputed queen of social media: Kim Kardashian had always lagged behind Beyonce Knowles when it came to adoring Instagram followers.

Not so any more, however. Yes, this week it became apparent that the reality TV star had overtaken the singer, beating her to the milestone 44million mark.

And as of this morning – Mrs West is still a nose ahead of Mrs Carter.

So just how did Kimmy Kay do it? Here, SHEmazing! looks at the five ways that Kim managed to nab Bey's crown…

 

Exposure:

Kim posts a lot of pictures. All the time. Beyonce? Well, she's a lot more low-key. In fact, the pop-star has only shared six snaps in the last week. Kimmy, on the other hand, has offered up a grand total of 24.

And when it comes to hovering up more fans, there's a lot to be said for posting daily rather than weekly.

 

Family:

There's no doubt that both women are married to mega-successful rappers and businessmen, but Jay Z and Queen B have always conducted their relationship away from the spotlight. Indeed, they didn't even publicise their marriage until after their vows had taken place.

In contrast, Kim is regularly followed by KUWTK cameras and all her life's major milestones and events – including her union with Kanye West – are documented and shared in detail.

The same applies for their daughters: we see A LOT more of North West than we do Blue Ivy Carter.

 

Body:

Beyonce's bikini photos undeniably demand heaps of attention: a laid-back and natural swimsuit snap from earlier this summer garnered 1.5million likes and more than 30,000 gushing comments.

But of course, Ms Kardashian is always willing to go above and beyond: she recently shared a totally naked pregnancy body pic and regularly parts with mega-cleavage baring selfies.

 

Celebrity pals:

Her famous family is one thing – but Kim also ropes plenty of other big names into her Instagram posts.

There's Jennifer Lopez at the Met Ball, after all, as well as some of fashion's biggest names (Valentino, Olivier Roustein, Riccardo Tisci et al) – not to mention the ultimate selfie nap: Hillary Clinton herself.

Meanwhile, Beyonce's celebrity posts are largely confined to folk she's close to: think Destiny's Child bandmates Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams, and her sister Solange.

Although just occasionally, she does share a sneak-peak of her with the likes of Ed Sheeran and Blake Lively.

 

Magazine covers:

We just saw Beyonce looking all sorts of amazing on US Vogue, but you have to hand it to Kim: she regularly bags hugely high-profile covers.

In the last few months alone, there has been Vogue Espana and Vogue Brasil, not to mention Elle France.

And – as if we could forget, there is her break-the-internet Paper magazine cover from late last year too.

If Kanye gets his way, and he tends to if we’re being honest, then North West could be hitting the list of highest paid celebrities before she’s out of the terrible twos.

Kanye, 38, has apparently told wife Kim that he doesn’t mind of North appears on her family’s reality series Keeping Up With The Kardashians. He just wants her to be paid.

Actually, he wants her to be paid more than her grown-up co-stars.

Hollywood Life reports that according to an insider on the E! reality series, “He wants North to be famous.”

He’s already informed Kim that if North’s going to be a regular on the show, then she needs to be paid more than all of Kim’s sisters and Kris, 59! If not, it isn’t happening.”

While there has yet to be any sightings of the youngest Kardashian- West making her way to the bank with a deposit, she has been spotted filming scenes for the series more often.

Another insider has confirmed that “North is being filmed with Kim.” They continued that Kim is extremely protective over the scenes in which Nori will be a part of for the show.

“All decisions for North are made jointly [between Kim and Kanye].”

So if North appears on the show, and the rumours about her salary negotiations with Kanye are true, how much does she earn?

In March, Ok! magazine reported that the family had signed a deal with E! for another four years of the series worth almost €100 million.

Of this Kim was expected to receive 30 percent, after this Kris was the highest earner of the series reportedly taking home €15 million.

So, does this mean North could be getting pay checks of €16 million? That’s an awful lot tutus.

After being plagued with complications during her first pregnancy in 2013, Kim Kardashian has appeared incredibly slim and healthy this time around.

Indeed, her physique has even prompted rumour that she's faking her pregnancy – something she totally shot done when she posted a naked selfie last week.

However, now around the five-month mark, it's apparent that Ms Kardashian is blooming… and her bump is suddenly MUCH more apparent. 

Posing up with Peter Dundas, creative director of Roberto Cavalli, with whom she was lunching with in LA yesterday, the reality TV star for the first time happily showed off her changing shape.

Kim is due on a date sometime in December and is expecting a boy – a little brother for North, two.

On Twitter just last week, the wife of Kanye West had said: "Everyone's body is different, every pregnancy is very different.

"I've learned to love my body at every stage! I'm going to get even bigger & that's beautiful too! I'm blessed to even be pregnant!

"& luckier to not have preeclampsia so far, so I don't have the swelling issue!"

Rolling Stones has just released its 100 Greatest Songwriters Of All Time list.

We all know how good a song can make us feel – regardless of the genre, style or era – so it's no wonder that song-writers are among the most lauded individuals of recent decades.

In one of the most comprehensive lists ever compiled, the publication looks at the best of old and new times – and some of the numbers might surprise you. 

Still, the list certainly has a great mix of old-school classics as well as hit pop stars from right now. 

The golden oldies include Marvin Gaye, The Bee Gees, John Lennon, and Chuck Berry. A certain Paul McCartney comes in at number 2. 

The new kids on the block are doing well for themselves too with the likes of Taylor Swift, Missy Elliot, Eminem, and Kanye West, as well as Jay Z who is ranked at number 68. 

Irish folk also make a sizable dent in the list with Bono and The Edge jointly deemed to be number 35 as Van Morrison arrives in at number 22. 

And who got the coveted number 1 spot? It was none other than… Bob Dylan. 

We think the full list is brilliant with every one of our favourites getting a place.

The last time Kanye West released an album was 2013, and his fans are just not willing to wait any longer to hear the star’s latest work.

Over the last year the father of one has kept his listeners pining for some new songs by teasing them with two singles Only One and Four Five Seconds.

Yeezus was a huge success that shot to the number one spot around the world after its release.

Naturally, his fans are very excited for Kanye’s next musical venture. So much so that one fan started a White House petition which demanded Barack Obama force his album to be released early.

In a short space of time the petition had managed to gather together tens of thousands of signatures.

The petition for the new album, Swish, read:

"Kanye West has kept us thirsty for too long. We haven’t gotten any new singles in months.

The President should order Ye to drop the album on the date August, 21st as his producer Mike Dean has been teasing people about."

Unfortunately for Kanye super fans, the petition was taken down after it was found to be violating the terms of participation.

If it had managed to reach the coveted 100,000 signatures necessary to be brought before Obama and his administration, we can only imagine what Kanye would have to say about it.

Maybe he would appreciate the chance to get to chat with Barack about his latest issue.

Reportedly Kanye wants a no-flying zone to be applied to the area surrounding his house. Apparently he wants his Hidden Hills property to become a no-fly zone in order to protect wife Kim and daughter North’s privacy.

Since announcing her pregnancy earlier this summer, rumour surrounding the unborn baby has been rife. 

Kim Kardashian herself regularly laughs off the gossip, but that hasn't stopped the commentators: for weeks they've speculated as to the likes of the baby's sex (she later confirmed it is a boy) and name.

In particular, the reality TV megastar has cited as "ridiculous" suggestions that she and her rapper husband Kanye West would call their son South, despite it being a moniker which would seemingly complement daughter North, aged two, nicely.

However, today it is being reported that Ms Kardashian, 34, and Mr West, 38, have plenty of direction after all. Indeed, they have now very much settled on a name for their new baby… and they have opted for Easton.

Yes, Mail Online – which seemingly has close ties to the Kardashian-Jenner family – is claiming an exclusive on the scoop.

"Easton is the chosen name. It's confirmed that the baby boy will be called Easton," a close family friend is quoted as telling the website this evening.

Reportedly, the celebrity pair were eager to lock in a name in advance of his December birth so that his nursery and wardrobe can be made complete with monograms.

The same source furthermore claims that it was Kim who ultimately came up with Easton – though Mr West is said to love it too. 

"No doubt monogrammed baby bibs are being hand-sewn as we speak," the family friend continues. "Mason is already calling his auntie's tummy Easton."

Kim had previously said during a radio interview she doesn't "like South West," largely because north is "always better" than south – meaning his big sister would have "a better direction".

Still, she is often quick to comment on such matters via her various social media platforms, so we'll be keeping our eyes peeled for a confirmation or denial.

In the meantime, what do you think of little Easton West?

Gigi Hadid, Cara Delevingne, Ryan Seacrest… Kim Kardashian has had some pretty epic celeb selfies in the last few months alone, but we reckon this is her best yet.

The reality star was at a fundraiser for Hillary Clinton's presidential race last night, and managed to nab a photo with the Democratic candidate herself. Barely managing to fit herself in the frame as Kanye stuck his head in the background, Kim took a quick selfie with Hillary to share with her 41.8m Instagram followers.

"I got my selfie!!! I really loved hearing her speak & hearing her goals for our country! #HillaryForPresident" Kim captioned the photo of the famous trio.

The selfie wasn't too much of a surprise though, as Kim had let fans know earlier in the evening that she was hoping to snap a quick picture with presidential hopeful Hillary. "Excited to be meeting our next President tonight!! Maybe she'll take a selfie with me!" Kim wrote en route to the house of Justin Bieber's manager Scooter Braun, where the fundraising event was taking place.

 

Excited to be meeting our next President tonight!! Maybe she'll take a selfie with me!

Kim's mum Kris also got a quick photo with Hillary… this time with no Kanye photobombs.

"An Honor to meet you Hillary Clinton! Great evening… #ohjustchatting" the 59-year-old momager wrote on Instagram.

Other celebrity guests in attendance along with Kim and her crew included Jessica Alba, Tom Hanks, Rita Wilson. Usher, pictured here with Scooter, also showed up for the big night.

Kim Kardashian and her husband Kanye West are expecting their second child this December, and so far Kim seems determined to make this pregnancy a smoother one than her last.

Kim admitted she felt "probably the lowest I have ever felt in my life" after gaining weight during her pregnancy with North, and this time around she is making every effort to ensure things go differently. 

From having a team of fitness experts on hand to getting each item of clothing tailored to ger growing bump, Kim is looking every bit the glam mama so far, but one thing she had to give into this week was sensible footwear.

Kim is known for wearing sky-high heels on a daily basis and has said before that she “hates” how her feet look in flats. However she was pictured in Los Angeles over the weekend sporting a pair of shoes that were very un-Kim indeed – beige flat sandals.

With two-year-old North and her five-year-old nephew Mason in tow, the expectant mum looked as sleek as ever in the nude Alaia pom pom flats, a sleeveless cotton  dress, a Haider Ackermann silk trench coat and her trademark black Hermés Birkin.

Speaking to Us Weekly shortly after her second pregnancy was confirmed, the KUWTK star said she was taking a different approach to eating and working out this time. "This time around I have a nutritionist to keep me healthy while I’m pregnant," she said. "The last pregnancy, I ate a donut every single day, I’m not doing that this time." 

And when it comes to maternity style, the 34-year-old said she's not afraid to make use of certain fashion tricks… like doubling up on Spanx. "Sometimes I wear two pairs [of Spanx] under something or stockings," she revealed to Elle. "It holds you in."

We love her honesty!

Amber Rose, who once had a long-term relationship with Kanye West, has taken to Instagram with a message for her "haters" (of which there seems to be a lot). 

The model, who now brands herself as a feminist, recently took to Instagram to announce her intentions to publicly tackle the likes of gender inequality and sexual injustice. 

However, in the aftermath she faced a significant backlash. 

Some commentators claimed she's only famous for sleeping with rappers – an accusation which prompted Amber Rose to post a lengthly defence. 

In it, she insisted that when it comes to rappers "I've been in love with 2 of them and 1 I married and have a beautiful baby with."

Amber was previously in a relationship with Kanye West from 2008 to 2010. She went on to marry Wiz Khalifa in 2013, but this has also since ended. 

She also spent some time explaining that she is in fact a good person.

"I was once homeless not only did I help myself but I bless homeless ppl with crisp 100 dollar bills daily just because I can."

The 31-year-old has gotten herself in the middle of some controversy on more than one occasion, and it's no secret that there is some beef between her and the Kardashian/Jenner clan. 

During an interview with Complex that was released this week, Khloe Kardashian addressed some of the comments the model made about her younger sister Kylie. 

"I just feel like it was unnecessary for her to say anything, and I used her own quote back. It was from her talking about when she became a stripper so I’m like, 'How are you judging and saying Kylie should have a curfew?'"

"What I thought was crazy was she was telling my sister to act a certain way or have a curfew, but [she wasn’t] doing the same."
