Kim Kardashian and Kanye WestKanye West wants his girlfriend Kim Kardashian to lose weight.

The "Mercy" rapper is said to have urged the reality TV star - who is famous for her curvy figure - to slim down and shed up to 20 pounds. Kanye thinks his good friend Beyonce - who gave birth to her first child Blue Ivy last January - has a better body than his girlfriend of six months and is encouraging her to follow the singer's grueling Dreamgirls diet, according to OK!.

"He even suggested Kim drop 20 pounds, arguing that Beyonce has a similar shape and she proved you can get that supermodel body using her lemon juice, cayenne pepper and maple syrup diet. He says he wants her to be the face of his clothing line... but to do that she has to fit into the clothes. It's really uncomfortable - her shape is what made her name. He has a long-term fantasy of turning them into the new Beyonce and Jay-Z power couple, but getting Kim to starve isn't the way to do it," a source close to the couple said.

Kanye West and Kim KardashianKanye West has urged Kim Kardashian to take style tips from Duchess Catherine.

The rapper believes his girlfriend of six months - who shot to fame after making a sex tape with her then boyfriend Ray J - could learn a lot from the British royal's "poise and sophistication" along with her conservative style.

Speaking about the duchess - who was previously known as Kate Middleton - a source told the Daily Star newspaper, "Kanye has been urging Kim to tone down her make-up and style her hair in a more conservative style, like Kate. And it's not just Kate's regal look that Kanye wants Kim to mimic. He's also told her that she could learn a thing or two about poise and sophistication from Kate."

Kim recently revealed Kanye has managed to convince her to live her life at a slower pace and focus less on her work and more on her personal life.

Russell Brand and Victoria Beckham

Russell Brand is terrified of Victoria Beckham. The 37-year-old actor has been avoiding Victoria's local haunts in Los Angeles, where they both live, because he is worried she will confront him about dumping her Spice Girls bandmate Geri Halliwell after a brief fling.

"Russell's avoiding Victoria at all costs. He's scared to visit the places where he used to bump into her. It's got so bad he's even changed his regular coffee shop because she goes there, and now goes to one that's two miles from his home in west Hollywood. He knows he didn't treat Geri too kindly, and is convinced Victoria will kick off when she sees him," a source told The Daily Star.

Kelly Osbourne with Lady Gaga insetKelly Osbourne thinks that Lady Gaga is pregnant.

The outspoken Fashion Police star shared her observations on the "Born This Way" singer's noticeable weight gain and claimed Gaga - who is dating Vampire Diaries actor Taylor Kinney - has been hiding her stomach lately.

"I think she is pregnant because she has been covering up this part of her body recently and I have been noticing that a lot. And her style has changed and you can't bleach your hair blonde when you are pregnant," she said.

However, Kelly's comments came before Lady Gaga praised marijuana as she lit up on stage in Amsterdam.

Jessica SimpsonJessica Simpson wants fans to feel like they can give her a hug when they see her. The singer-and-actress says it's important not to dress to over-the-top as she doesn't want people to think she's not approachable.

"I would say that I'm pretty casual. I don't ever wanna come across too intimidating, so as long as I look like you can come up and give me a hug, that's good. My signature look has always been really classic and comfortable jeans and T-shirt," the mother-of-one said of her look, speaking as the Guest Editor for women's website iVillage.

The blonde beauty also revealed her mother, Tina, is her style icon as she's just so creative with what she wears: "My style icon really for my whole life has been my mother. The way she can put together and outfit and just color and even print mixing. I mean she's just so creative and has always looked flawless to me. That's why she runs (my clothing range) the Jessica Simpson collection. I trust her with every single garment."

Selma Blair and Jason BleickSelma Blair and Jason Bleick have reportedly split up.

The Anger Management actress and fashion designer Jason Bleick - who have a 14-month-old son Arthur together - allegedly parted ways recently because they couldn't stop fighting. "They were fighting non-stop," a source said.

Selma and Arthur have now moved into a temporary apartment in Los Angeles' Venice Beach. However, the break-up is said to be amicable with the pair staying close for the sake of their son. "Jason spent some quality time with Arthur recently. He met Selma at a restaurant, then took Arthur for a walk on the beach," a source said recently.

Selma recently revealed she was offered a reality TV show, something she turned down: "You have to do it all to make a living, unless you are Cate Blanchett. You have to write five books and come out with a line of socks. I got approached to do a reality show now so long ago. I decided I'm too much reality for anyone. I don't have the gaggle of goofy friends, and you have to do a lot of branding."

Liberty RossLiberty Ross didn't leave her house for "seven weeks" as she tried to deal with her husband's affair with Kristen Stewart.

The model appeared on the catwalk to showcase Alexander Wang's Spring 2013 collection at New York Fashion Week at the weekend in what was her first modeling assignment since it was revealed her director husband Rupert Sanders, 41, had an illicit relationship with the 22-year-old actress after meeting her on the set of Snow White and the Huntsman.

Although Liberty, 33, looked confident on the catwalk, she confessed she hadn't dared leave her home in the wake of the scandal. "I hadn't actually been out of my house for seven weeks so I was really anxious. But it felt amazing," she said, speaking to The Cut at the show's after-party.

Liberty did not dump Rupert after learning of his affair with Kristen - who was in a four-year relationship with her Twilight co-star Robert Pattinson - and is believed to be prepared to work to save their marriage for the sake of their children Skyla, seven, and five-year-old Tennyson.

The 42-year-old banker - the half-brother of former French President Nicolas Sarkozy - has been dating the 25-year-old fashion designer for around five months and now he has bought a New York townhouse so they can spend some quality time together.

According to the New York Post newspaper, Olivier and Mary-Kate fell in love with the 146-year-old property because they "like that it is old."

It isn't known how much renovation they plan to do, although the plumbing and kitchen need to be completely updated.

Kanye West and Kim KardashianKim Kardashian thinks that similarities are "essential" in relationships.

The reality TV star loves the fact she and boyfriend Kanye West have a shared passion for fashion because it means they can have "in-depth" discussions about their careers, and she thinks common interests will be increasingly more important as they get older.

"If I have a design meeting, or he has one, we come back and talk about how our meetings went. It's cool, because you can definitely get more in-depth with someone who actually knows what you're talking about ... So that's been a fun similarity we have. I think it's essential to have similarities. When this whole life is done, and it's just the two of us sitting somewhere when we're 80, you want to have things to talk about that you have in common. I think that's something maybe I didn't value as highly as a quality I cared about in someone."
