8 hours ago

Kim Kardashian did exactly what nature may have intended on Saturday. The E! star had a medical condition that caused her to give birth to her baby girl five weeks prematurely, and, according to Obgyn Dr. Kathleen Velenton (she is not Kim's doctor), going into labor that early may have been the best possible outcome. Asked about the possibility of Kim having developed preeclampsia, Velenton said, "A lot of times it'll happen to first-time mothers and it's really characterized by having a little bit of swelling in your extremities, also some pain and headache, really in the late third trimester and the cure for it is delivery.

10 hours ago

We've come to expect statement styles from the one-and-only Madonna, but we're not quite sure what this specific statement means...

It seems that way, but we're thrown by that diamond-covered silver glove. Like most things involving the "Girl Gone Wild" singer, we're left wondering. But since this is Fashion Police, we will go ahead and say that the suit is gorgeous, even if it would look better inside a giant, striped tent. »

Kate Upton Shocks in Fully Clothed Ensemble—See the Pic!

12 hours ago

It's not every day you see Kate Upton completely covered up, and for good reason. The buxom beauty is known for showing off her ample and enviable assets in barely-there bikinis, but she was spotted walking in NYC earlier today wearing a chic summer ensemble.

Rita Ora's Ornate Outfit: Pleather Dress or Giant Henna Tattoo?

12 hours ago

Okay fine, we know that Rita Ora is actually wearing a cocktail dress and not chest-to-ankle henna art, but we're not wrong for doing a double-take, right?

Maybe it's the laser-cut gaps, or the deep, red color...or the fact that it's on the U.K.'s edgiest dresser? Frankly, we're not in love with the style or those chunky black sandals as an accessory.  But we should probably just shut up and be glad this isn't actually painted on »

Xxiv!) edition next month. But one song has hit the web early. "Thrift Shop," originally performed by Macklemore and Ryan Lewis.
