Kanye West has hired Andy Warhol's cousin to paint Kim Kardashian.
The 36-year-old rapper, who recently boasted his fiancee is "the most beautiful woman of all time," has commissioned Monica Warhol, who is related to the late legendary pop artist, to create a one-off portrait of the brunette beauty.
Monica told the New York Post's Page Six she is very excited about the project and despite never getting the chance to meet Andy, who passed away in 1987 when she was 10, she believes he would have been very impressed by Kim: "She's an icon. She's famous for nothing. Andy would have loved her. Kim is beautiful. She's so manufactured. She looks like a human Barbie."
Arizona-based Monica has previously painted portraits of rapper Flo Rida that appear in the music video for his song, "How I Feel," and also painted a likeness of Lenny Kravitz, after meeting him in the Church Boutique in Los Angeles.

Denise Richards is reportedly set to meet with the Los Angeles County Department of Children & Family Services (DCFS) this week, after being accused of abusing Brooke Mueller's sons, Bob and Max.
The 42-year-old Twisted actress wants to meet social workers to refute her ex-husband Charlie Sheen's ex-wife's claims that she physically abused and neglected their four-year-old twin boys, as well as Denise's own children with Charlie, Sam, nine, Lola, eight, and her adopted daughter Eloise, two.
"It has been alleged that Denise not only physically abused the children, but neglected them as well. This is being taken very seriously by Denise. To say she is upset and disgusted by Brooke's actions are an understatement," a source said.
Denise secured temporary custody of Bob and Max in May after Brooke was hospitalized for drug abuse but recently withdrew as their guardian because of their violent behavior towards her daughters and they are now living with Brooke's brother.

Malin Akerman's husband Roberto Zincone has filed for divorce.
The Trophy Wife star recently decided to "amicably" part ways with the drummer - with whom she has seven-month-old son, Sebastian - and he filed court documents to legally dissolve their six-year marriage last Wednesday.
A source told gossip website TMZ.com that Roberto, who played the drums in Malin's old band The Petalstones, signed his divorce papers in Los Angeles just one day after news of their split broke. "It's as amicable as can be, and they want to do what's best for their son," a source previously said.
Another source claimed last week that neither of them had any plans to start legal proceedings: "No one has plans to file yet. Honestly, Malin is not even ready to discuss it. It's a very sad time for her."

Frank Ocean's cousin is suing Chris Brown for more than $3 million.
The "Pyramids" hitmaker's relative, Sha'Keir Duarte, who filed a lawsuit in August against the "Fine China" singer claiming Chris' bodyguard violently beat him up when the two singers and their entourages got into an heated confrontation outside Westlake Recording Studio in Los Angeles in January, says he suffered a huge amount of physical and emotional pain as a result of the confrontation.
Sha'Keir has submitted an itemized list of what he is seeking damages for in new court documents, obtained by gossip website TMZ.com, that includes $1 million for pain, suffering and inconvenience, and $1 million for emotional distress. He is also seeking $1 million for punitive damages and an additional $60,000 for medical expenses.
Chris, who is currently undergoing a court ordered 90-day stint at a live-in rehabilitation centre to focus on his anger issues, filed documents to counter-sue last month, in which the star, 24, claimed that Sha'Keir provoked the fight by threatening to kill him.
Christian Slater has married his girlfriend Brittany Lopez.
The 44-year-old actor - who divorced his first wife Ryan Haddon in 2007 - tied the knot at an impromptu civil ceremony at the courthouse in Coral Gables in Florida on Monday. A spokesperson for the Mind Games star told People.com that the couple spontaneously decided to get married after they initially went to the Coral Gables District Court near Miami to get their marriage license.
The couple, who have been together for three years, announced they were engaged in February, two months after they celebrated at a huge party for family and friends last December.
Christian previously revealed they were set to tie the knot in a small ceremony in their back garden in July and had hired a wedding planner: "It will be good, intimate and small and family members. It will be nice."

Josh Brolin and Diane Lane Divorce Finalized
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Movies, Divorce, Legal Issues,
Josh Brolin and Diane Lane's divorce has been finalized.
Man of Steel actress Diane originally filed to end their marriage in February, citing "irreconcilable differences" and court documents seen by website TMZ submitted on November 27 confirm their marriage has been legally dissolved after eight years. Diane has also dropped Josh's surname and will once again be Diane Lane.
According to the court documents, the couple have a private financial agreement and Diane is not seeking spousal support outside of this.
Although W actor Josh was said to be doing well despite the divorce, last month he checked into a rehab facility to deal with issues related to his drinking. The 45-year-old star said he was "completely done" with alcohol after a couple of incidents over one wild weekend, where he was caught on camera yelling abuse at a cab driver after allegedly rear-ending his vehicle, then got into a brawl with a bouncer at a bar. When asked if these incidents would spur him to stop drinking, the actor replied, "Absolutely. It won't be happening again. That's it. Completely done."

Joe Jonas: Miley Cyrus and Demi Lovato Introduced Me to Weed
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Movies, Music, Television, Break-ups, Dating, Drugs, Meltdowns, Features,
Joe Jonas has claimed Miley Cyrus and Demi Lovato encouraged him to try marijuana.
The squeaky clean star has said his fellow Disney Channel stars - who are both three years younger than him - pressured him into smoking a joint when they were teenagers. "The first time I smoked weed was with Demi and Miley. I must have been 17 or 18. They kept saying, 'Try it! Try it!' so I gave it a shot, and it was all right. I don't even smoke weed that often anymore," Joe, 24, told Vulture.
The singer also opened up about his rocky relationship with Demi, claiming the X Factor judge - who went to rehab for "physical and emotional issues" in 2010 - was actually struggling with full-blown "drug abuse" and he only stayed with her because he wanted to help her. "I really got to know her and got to see the ins and outs of what she was struggling with, like drug abuse. I felt like I needed to take care of her, but at the same time I was living a lie, because I wasn't happy but felt like I had to stay in it for her, because she needed help. I couldn't express any of that, of course, because I had a brand to protect," he recalled.

Rita Ora is on the hunt for a new home after being kicked out of her flat.
The "R.I.P." singer, who was renting a luxury west London apartment, has been asked to find a new place to live after a number of complaints about noisy late night parties. "Rita is on the move after some complaints about noise in her last place. She has already been looking at houses and wants to buy a proper home for the first time. She thinks a new home would be the perfect way to celebrate such a successful year," a source said.
The 23-year-old star's career is going from strength to strength and she was named Musician of the Year at the Harper's Bazaar Women of the Year Awards last month.
The singer, who is dating DJ Calvin Harris, was threatened with eviction recently after ignoring warnings from her landlord. "Rita has been told about the noise before but she ignored it and now the landlord says she has to go. This isn't the first time she's been threatened with eviction but it's much more serious now. Rita lives in a nice building with a lot of older neighbours who aren't happy with her," an insider said.

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Music, Hook-ups, Style, Rumors,
Niall Horan went on a secret date with model Barbara Palvin at the weekend.
The One Direction star and the Victoria's Secret beauty laughed and joked with each other as they watched The Hunger Games: Catching Fire at the Everyman cinema in Belsize Park, north London, but arrived at separate times to try to avoid being seen together.
"Barbara came in first and was playing on her phone until Niall arrived. He had a security guard with him, and they sat in the front row so nobody could turn around to see them. He kept a baseball cap on and pulled it low, to try to avoid being seen. They clearly wanted to keep a low profile. They were laughing and joking together throughout the film, and both were dressed casually. You could tell they were comfortable in each other's company," a source told The Daily Mirror.

Will Ferrell: I’m a Middle-Aged One Direction

Will Ferrell claims he's a middle-aged version of One Direction.
The popular comedian feels akin to the British boy band because he has started to induce hysteria among teenage fans whenever he goes out in public. "We had gone out to dinner, and by the time we had left the restaurant, there was a mob of high-school kids outside. There was a panel that blocked part of the window and they were jumping up trying to look. I'm a 46-year-old version of One Direction. All five of them packed into one middle-aged guy," he joked, recalling one particular incident in Seattle.
The loud-mouthed star - who is returning to screens as hapless newsreader Ron Burgundy in the sequel to cult comedy Anchorman - insists he wasn't always so confident and used to be a painfully shy child: "I was extremely shy. I had to meet everyone and until I was comfortable with everyone. I didn't say a word. Once I got to speak, everyone saw my true colors. And it'd be like, 'Wait, you're funny!' It's not that I lacked confidence. I never felt the need to impress anyone, but I wanted to feel that I belonged."
