LA

We're already on the cusp of Rio 2016 – while the 2020 Games have now been awarded to Tokyo.

And this morning, the short-list for the 2024 Olympics was announced, and FOUR out of the five cities are in Europe. 

Close to home Budapest, Hamburg, Paris and Rome all fancy their chances, while Los Angeles takes up the final spot. 

There will now be a period of intense lobbying before the International Olympic Committee makes its decision in 2017.

As the announcement was made earlier today, IOC president Thomas Bach said the five cities were all “outstanding” candidates.

They're not all novices either: LA held the Games in 1932 and 1984, while Paris also has the same experience: it played host in 1900 and 1924.

Rome was the location for the 1960 Olympics, although Budapest and Hamburg have yet to hold the sporting spectacle. 

London spent around €15bn hosting the Olympic Games in 2012 – with security alone costing around €750m.

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!"

She's lately been experimenting with a LOAD of different hairstyles and colours. 

And frankly, we can't wait to see what Kylie Jenner wears this evening for her MASSIVE birthday bash, which is taking place in Beach Club in Montreal.

Of course, she's already been marking the moment in style since hitting her milestone 18 years a week ago – but tonight is very much expected to be the biggest and best event in the series of planned festivities.

The reality TV star, who lately has been experimenting with a load of diverse hairstyles, hinted that she's about to unveil yet another look for the occasion: namely a dramatic grey hue.

Last weekend for a celebration in an LA nightclub, Kylie wore a long blonde wig. She also experimented with a 'bronde' version – and earlier this year has furthermore had a mop of blue locks.

Here, we take a look a her recent hair trends.

They've been in LA for a week for a series of exciting meetings – but that didn't stop Michelle Keegan and Mark Wright from maintaining their tough fitness regimes. 

As they wrapped up their Californian stay, Ms Keegan took to Instagram to share a video of her husband of two-and-a-half months going for a gruelling run in the LA heat.

The actress is also well-known for her own intense gym schedule, however, she evidently didn't quite feel that she'd be able to keep up with super-fit Mark. 

Instead, she wisely chose to travel by bicycle – also taking the opportunity to capture the exercise efforts of her spouse on film.

In the resulting video she shared with her 2million followers, the 28-year-old said she was putting Mark "through his paces". She also set the clip to Eighties classic, Eye Of The Tiger, by US band, Survivor

And despite having a sweet tooth, Mark, 28, looks in incredible shape as he runs topless on a residential road in LA.

The duo have spent the week at the five star Mondrian hotel on the Sunset Strip. It is believed that they will now spend some down-time travelling across America before returning to their home in England.

 

Putting him through his paces!! @wrighty_

He apparently only split from his fiance and long-term partner Perrie Edwards in the last few weeks. 

And she, of course, remains loved-up with her rapper beau of a year, Tyga.

But we can't help but think that Zayn Malik, 22, and an almost 18-year-old Kylie Jenner would be the celebrity world's most perfect couple. 

And evidently Mr Malik, who boasts some 15million followers on the social media platform, likes what he sees on Ms Jenner's Twitter feed.

Before hitting a VIP enclave at the famed Warwick nightclub on Sunset Boulevard in LA last night, he made sure to favourite a previous snap of Kylie's – one where she looks particularly gorgeous in a mesh Dolce & Gabbana dress. 

Significantly, however, the image was posted a full week ago – meaning that, in all likelihood, Zayn was having a bit of a root around her profile at the time. 

Hey, we've ALL been there. 

Prior to last night's seal of approval, the former One Direction-er had only added his orange star to a total of nine tweets – meaning the teenager joins an especially illustrious group.

We await further developments – but wouldn't it be oh-so great if Zayn turned up to Kylie's totally OTT 18th birthday bash in Canada in ten days' time?

His actress wife has made no secret of her desire to crack Hollywood – but it seems that Mark Wright has his own career aspirations Stateside. 

The reality TV star (and sometimes TV presenter and DJ) jetted out to California on Sunday accompanied by his wife of two months, Michelle Keegan.

And in order to get into the celebrity spirit of things – the duo promptly hit A-lister eatery, Craig's.

Mark and Michelle must have felt right at home too: they were snapped by waiting paparazzi as they entered and left the well-known Beverly Hills steakhouse yesterday evening. 

It seems that the 28-year-old has a big future ahead of him also.

Top American TV manager John Ferriter, who discovered Ryan Seacrest and also represents Piers Morgan in America, is quoted by Mail Online as saying: "American television networks hav‎e been following Mark Wright's career in the UK and think he could be a big hit with American viewers and have flown him out for series of private meetings."

On the same evening, Craig's was also frequented by former Victoria's Secret Angel Karolina Kurkova; Sylvester Stallone and his wife Jennifer Flavin, as well as singer-songwriter John Legend and his model wife Chrissy Teigen.

For the outing, Michelle, 28, wore a €95 Lipsy midi dress from her own collection. Meanwhile, Mark opted for a more understated look, donning a denim shirt, navy slacks and brown suede boots. 

Upon landing in the Golden State, Mark had tweeted that he "loved this place". And it seems that he and his wife packed relatively light: they were spotted leaving Heathrow on Saturday carrying only two moderately-sized black bags.

Speaking to OK! Online in May, former Coronation Street star Ms Keegan had said: "If the opportunity came up for me to move to America, I've never been to LA to film or anything, but who knows, maybe in the future."

Two months ago she was spotted at a West Hollywood eatery with her life coach… and now Amanda Bynes has emerged once again.

And while back in May she certainly appeared noticeably happier and healthier – yesterday, the 29-year-old actress positively shone at an LA fashion event.

Wearing a tight white lace dress, she completed her outfit with leather stilettos and a small leather shoulder bag. She also had on oversized sunglasses and her trademark long, blonde wig.

Ms Bynes was attending the launch party for Project Runway star's Michael Costello's capsule range in Los Angeles – seemingly the first bash she’s been a guest at since her much-publicised breakdown and mental-health issues.

Also attending the same soiree were former Danity Kane members Shannon Bex and Abrey O'Day, as well as singer Nicole Scherzinger.

Earlier this year, a spokesperson for the star said: "Amanda is doing great. She appreciates all of the love and support she receives from family, friends and fans."

Legal representatives for her parents, Lynn and Rick, also said at the same time: "She is doing great, working on her fashion design and staying focused on living a balanced and healthy life."

It has been furthermore reported that Ms Bynes has made sufficient health improvements to move out of her parents’ home and into her own apartment.

It is believed that Amanda’s relationship with her mum and dad, which at times has been hugely strained, has also improved significantly since late last year.

As recently as last October, the star was being treated in a psychiatric facility.

In 2012, she was arrested for driving under the influence of alcohol, and two years ago she was involuntarily hospitalised because of her erratic behaviour.

Two sets of hit and run charges against her were dismissed when she made financial settlements out of court.

She has also been caught shoplifting and in a series of worrying tweets, she made several incredible accusations – including that she had been sexually abused by her father.

It was a comment she later retracted, saying that a "microchip made her say it".

The former Nickelodeon star remains under the temporary conservatorship of her parents.

They won praise for continuing to share a home in the aftermath of their shock split – and it seems that Bennifer plan to live together when they move back to California too.

Indeed, the actors will reportedly rent Brooke Shields’s sprawling LA home once they leave Atlanta, where she is currently filming Miracles From Heaven.

Last month, Ben, 42, and Jennifer, 43, announced that they planned to divorce after a decade of marriage.

However, they continue to live together for the sake of three children: Violet, nine, Seraphina, six, and Samuel, three.

And while the duo already own a €16m property in the exclusive Pacific Palisades neighbourhood in west LA, they are having major construction work carried out and it won’t be ready by the time Miracles From Heaven wraps.

Meaning they are delighted to have secured Ms Sheilds’s 500sq metre, five-bed abode, which is located in the same area. Rent is believed to be set at a cool €27,500 a month.

Construction on their own house has also been delayed – seemingly in light of their changing domestic set-up.

It is believed that the pair have more recently added in a separate living dwelling for Ben on the grounds of the main house – where Jen and the children will reside.

Sources confirmed to Page Six that Mr Affleck will “remain with his family on this new property”.

Shortly after their split was made public last month, the entire Affleck-Garner clan went to the Bahamas for a holiday away from the headlines.

And last weekend, Ben was spotted holding an adorable golden retriever pup, which sources say the family rescued while in Atlanta.

She's surely well-used to KUWTK enthusiasts getting up close and personal, but Kylie Jenner did not take kindly to one brash fan's remarks yesterday.

Out in Beverly Hills shopping with her model sister, Kendall, the siblings were making their way back to their silver Mercedes Benz G-Wagon when a man filming on his phone got a little too close to the 17-year-old reality TV star.

Dressed in a white t-shirt, black Nike shorts and wearing sunglass, he repeatedly asked her "what that mouth do?" while pushing his phone up towards her lips.

The annoyance eventually prompted the usually-composed Kylie to respond with: "Get the f*** out of my face."

And her fans are definitely on her side.

Calling the as-yet unidentified individual, who appears to be in his 30s or 40s, "rude," a "d***," and a "twat," one Instagram user furthermore stated: "I'm judging anyone defending this disgusting guy.

"He made sexual comments towards a 17 year old while shoving a camera right in her face. If you defend that, you have issues."

And others thought she was remarkably restrained given the circumstances. "I would have kicked him in the nuts," another user said.

They then added: "She has a lot more grace than I would have had if someone would be asking offensive s*** like this."

Also at the weekend, Kylie made a successful appearance in Miami, where she was promoting the Sugar Factory, a candy-themed restaurant.

Robbie Williams and his wife of five-years Ayda Field are being sued for sexual harassment by a former employee, according to reports from the US today.

Gilles De Bonfihs was briefly a personal assistant to the pair – before being fired in January of this year.

TMZ exclusively says he is now claiming that among more mundane tasks including getting coffee and picking up laundry, he was expected to talk about sex and comment on Ayda’s body.

Specially, he alleges that 35-year-old Ms Field would walk around in various states of undress; share intimate details of her sex life; question him about his sex life, and ask him to answer questions and comment on her body.

Robbie Williams, 41, is named as a defendant, but Mr Bonfihs doesn’t make any sexual harassment allegations against him.

Musician Robbie and actress Ayda have been together for close to a decade. They have two children together: two-year-old daughter Theodora Rose and a son, Charlton Valentine, who was born last October.

For much of their relationship they have lived at their Los Angeles mansion, also the location of their 2010 nuptials, but they regularly spend time at their sprawling home in London.

Angelina Jolie was involved in a frightening incident in Beverley Hills yesterday when the car she was travelling in skidded, hitting a curb and causing two tires to explode.

The actress was leaving the screening of her movie, Unbroken, at the Writers’ Guild Theatre when the frightening incident took place.

Angelina was later taken away in another car, though witnesses of the scene say they wouldn’t be surprised if she had suffered an injury: “It was pretty bad – the tire exploded and it’s amazing nothing worse happened to the car. I wouldn’t be surprised if she has whiplash.”

That sounds so scary, we’re glad it wasn’t worse than it could have been and everybody was okay!

Brooklyn Beckham has stepped out for the first time since news of his cute romance broke – and it looks like he was working up quite a sweat!

Brooklyn was at a SoulCycle class in Santa Monica, California yesterday with his dad David – and by the look of this snap, he is starting to look very like his pops!

The 15-year-old is enjoying a six-week summer break in LA, and is apparently spending a lot of time with his new girlfriend, actress Chloe Moretz, while he’s there.

While Brooklyn was enduring a gruelling hour of indoor cycling with his dad, Chloe, 17, was hard at work signing copies of new book If I Stay at Barnes and Noble in Miami, Florida, on Saturday.

Lets hope the pair make some time to hang out during their busy schedules!
