Friday kicked off Britney Spears' Sin City residency at the Axis Theater inside the Planet Hollywood and social media was all abuzz. For those of you who watched her Britney Jean special on E!, you can tell she's definitely back.

Prior to the news of her residency, I felt Spears was too old for the Vegas scene. However, after watching the doc and getting the details that the show is more of a club experience....it's perfect for her!

Yeezus Gifts Kim Kardashian with a MBDTF-Inspired Birkin

Via Kim Kardashian's Instagram.

Like any normal person on Instagram, Kim Kardashian IG'd her Christmas present she received from fiance.
#HandPaintedGeorgeCondo #HermesBirkin#OneofOne #ChristmasPresentFromYeezye"
Those are the hastags Kardashian used to describe her gift. Now, you can't expect Kanye to just gift his boo some perfume or just ANY kind of purse.....he gifted her with a hand-painted George Condo Birkin.
The Cut puts the specific bag's cost at $40,000, but has "no guess on what he paid Condo," calling it "the ugliest bag in the history of civilization."

West fans may find this painting similar to the art work on the artist's  2010 My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy album cover. West commissioned Condo to do 5 separate album covers including one that was banned from iTunes and Wal-Mart.
Followers of Kim's on instagram didn't feel the same way about the bag calling it: "disgusting", "I guess it's true what they say money can't buy you class. YIKES!"
Although this present requires a certain kind of taste, Kim has been seen proudly sporting it while out and about...and in the end that's all that matters.
Just days later after Kimye were voted as America's Least Desirable Neighbors.

Justin Bieber Announces Retirement on Twitter

This may not be quite the Christmas gift Beliebers were hoping for.
On Christmas Eve the popstar tweeted some very cyptic tweets:

My beloved beliebers I'm officially retiring
— Justin Bieber (@justinbieber) December 24, 2013

The media talks a lot about me.They make a up a lot of lies and want me to fail but I'm never leaving you, being a belieber is a lifestyle.
— Justin Bieber (@justinbieber) December 24, 2013

Be kind loving to each other, forgive each other as god forgave us through Christ Merry Christmas IM HERE FOREVER
— Justin Bieber (@justinbieber) December 24, 2013

Hopefully  his account was hacked or is term "retiring" just means something else. His movie Believe hits theaters tomorrow. Could this be a possible publicity stunt?
Eonline says, "This news comes a week after his interview with Power 106 radio station where he said he was going to quit the biz. "

Throwback Monday

Merry Christmas!
Love,
Christine Kaurdashian, T-Boz, Left Eye and Chili!

 I miss 112!!! That's all I can say about this song.

Khloe Kardashian and Lamar Odom Head for Divorce

On Friday the 13th, nonetheless....Khloe Kardashian has filed for divorce.
The couple have been married for a little over 4 years after a 30 day courtship. The past 6 months, Kardashian and Odom have been suffering from marital woes stemming from Odom's drug abuse among cheating rumors.
I really thought this couple was going to make it, until the news of Lam Lam's drug habit were made public. Interesting though, I love Khloe...but if you watch old episodes of KUWTK she was very critical of her sisters' partners, but all the while she was covering up her husband's addiction.
Guess you never know what a person is actually going through.

"The papers  cited the usual "irreconcilable differences," according to TMZ, which first reported the news. Khloe's asking that the "Odom" be removed from her legal name, seeking no spousal support and requesting that he seek none from her, said the website, which also noted that there was a hard-core prenup in place, making the divorce a relatively simple thing.
Simple compared to, say, the drama that surrounded sister Kim's divorce from Kris Humphries after only 72 days of marriage. That split took more than a year and a half to finalize."

In honor of seeing the Magna Carta Tour on Wednesday I hereby present this little throwback gem. I mean, when are you ever going to see Jay, Amil and Ja Rule in a song together.

Beyonce and Jay Z Go Vegan

 

wikipedia.com

Jay Z announced via his blog Life + Times that starting December 3rd he was going to adopt a vegan lifestyle for 22 days. He decided to do this a day before his 44th birthday, and we all know how much 4 means to the couple.

"Psychologists have said it takes 21 days to make or break a habit. On the 22nd day, you’ve found the way.
On December 3rd, one day before my 44th birthday I will embark on a 22 Days challenge to go completely vegan, or as I prefer to call it, plant-based!! This all began a few months back when a good friend and vegan challenged me to embrace a “plant-based breakfast” every day. It was surprisingly easier on me than I thought…
Why now? There’s something spiritual to me about it being my 44th birthday and the serendipity behind the number of days in this challenge; 22 (2+2=4) coupled with the fact that the challenge ends on Christmas day…It just feels right!
So you can call it a spiritual and physical cleanse. I will post my progress… Any professional vegans out there that have any great food spots please help out! Please ha. I don’t know what happens after Christmas. A semi-vegan, a full plant-based diet? Or just a spiritual and physical challenge? We’ll see…
Best of luck and health!
P.S. B is also joining me."

After reading this I wanted to be just like the Carters and do the same thing, but accidentally ate a porkchop for dinner....hmm...maybe start tomorrow?

Kardashian Christmas Kard 2013

eonline.com

It's that time of year again and the Kardashian-Jenner clan have debuted their Khristmas card for 2013.
Instead of using family friend photographer like in previous years, this time the reality star family hired David LaChapelle.
Known for his extravagant photo-shoots and sets, this year's photo takes the cake!
Set in a Post-Apocalyptic world of pop-culture, shows tabloid covers of the family scattered on the floor, a broken staircase, Bruce Jenner's gold medals hanging around randomly and television screens flashing images of the Kardashian-Jenners as well as graffiti of Kim, Khloe and Kourtney.
This photo could actually portray the family's current situation considering Rob, Scott and Lamar aren't in the pictures and the public getting annoyed by the family. Could this photo signify the fall of the Kardashian-Jenner Dynasty? 
Maybe I'm just getting ahead of myself.

eonline.com

Anyway, the girls look absolutely gorgeous. However, if you watched the Kardashian Holiday special, there was some drama behind the shoot. LaChapelle didn't want to have Kourtney's kids in the shoot, Rob supposedly felt insecure about his weight and didn't want to be photographed. Scott opted out. Lamar was in the middle of marital issues with Khloe, so he was a no-show. Kanye was on tour. So, LaChapelle just suggested just the girls be in the photo. Bruce got his feelings hurt because the family has been doing this for over 20 years and just because he and Kris are separated, he felt they were still family.
So, in the end you have this photo minus Kanye, Lamar, Scott, Rob and Baby North- whom nobody addressed in the episode explaining why she wasn't in it.

eonline.com

This photo does not do Bruce any justice, you can barely see him, which signifies his relationship in the family anyway.

I love the costumes with all the glamor and of course, Mason and Penelope look absolutely adorable!

Actor Paul Walker Dies in Car Crash

Paul Walker died in a fiery car crash Saturday afternoon. The 40 year old actor was in the passenger seat of a 2005 Porsche Carrera GT who was driven by a racing team partner and friend, Roger Rodas. Rodas hit a tree and light pole says witnesses and the car burst into flames in Santa Clarita, about 30 miles north of Hollywood.

The Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff's Station confirms in a statement to Us Weekly:

"That there were two fatalities in a traffic collision at approximately 3:30 p.m. Saturday. When deputies arrived, the vehicle was engulfed in flames. The Los Angeles Country Fire Department estinguished the flames, and two victims were prononced dead at the scene. The Coroner's Office is currently determining the identities of the victims, and the collision is still under investigation. A source also confirms to Us that Walker was the passenger at the time, and was not the one driving."

The Mirror reports The eight-year-old son of Roger Rodas bravely tried to save his dad as flames engulfed the supercar following the crash which killed The Fast and Furious star Paul Walker.

The boy jumped a fence and ran over to the burning car in a desperate bid to free his trapped father.

Fans around the world are saddened by the devastating news. Walker was in Santa Clarita for a charity event to aid Filipino victims of Typhoon Haiyan for his organization Reach Out Worldwide, formed in 2010 as a quick response first-aid organization.

Walker leaves behind a 15 year old daughter, Meadow. She moved to California from Hawaii a few years ago to be closer to her father.
