This story starts off weird and just gets worse as it goes on.

Kim Kardashian was paid $500k to be the guest of Austrian businessman Richard Lugner at the Vienna Annual Opera Ball. The guy basically pays celebs to be his arm candy but probably regrets asking Kim as he claims she just annoyed him.

According to Radar Online, Lugner was not impressed with the soon-to-be Mrs. West. He said: “Kim is annoying me because she’s not sticking to the program.”

He was reportedly not happy that she left him to go off and film her reality show and said: “She’s filming and so she doesn’t want to have me around. The guest should be with me and not anywhere else that is not agreed upon.”

Things got even more uncomfortable and weirder when a man working at the ball went up to Kim wearing a black face and pretended to be Kanye – not cool.

According to TMZ, the 33-year-old finally fled the party when a random guy asked her to dance and when she declined, he responded by saying he would dance with her if the orchestra played “N****rs in Vienna.”

Doesn’t sound like the party was a hit.

When asked to reveal five things about herself, the 44-year-old On The Floor singer revealed something pretty surprising.

Behind the scenes of the latest series of American Idol, Jennifer Lopez admitted to eating chocolate cookies “almost every day” – we know, shocker!

The mother-of-two is as fit as ever, so we can’t believe she is such a cookie monster!

As well as being an addict, she said she her kids are her life and she enjoys giving people makeovers.

“I’m a workaholic and a hopeless romantic…but you already knew that,” added the Jenny From The Block singer.

Although she hasn’t had the best luck with love, she is clearly doing something right with that tummy, how does she do it?

Actress Kerry Washington knows how to rock a red carpet.

The stunning actress loves bright, bold colours. Even if her outfit is dark she will make it pop with a colourful bag or lip. Clever lady! Let’s steal her secrets.

This pink dress is perfect for a feminine red carpet look and we love the clashing purse, very fashion-forward!

Kerry’s second look is an elegant and demure grey dress, Kerry carries a red purse and matching heels for a more balanced look.

We love this dress. The pattern, the leather panels and the colours are all stylish and a great daytime look.

This last look is sweet and preppy. The pleated skirt goes perfectly with the girly handbag. Break up the look like Kerry did with some edgy leopard print heels.

Nate Bagley was a single man fed up of hearing all the love stories. From scandal and divorces, to fairytale romance, he just couldn’t handle it. So he decided to spend a year interviewing couples.

During his adventure, he was very surprised to find the key ingredients needed to maintain a healthy relationship:

Self-love
The happiest couples loved their partners as much as they loved themselves. They were independently happy and knew how to take responsibility for their actions.

Commitment
They stood by each other no matter what. If things got a bit rocky neither one would walk away from the relationship.

Trust
They trusted each other and didn’t feel the need to undermine one another. Since they’ve proven that they are each other biggest advocates, they were both emotionally secure.

Intentionality
The happiest couples tried to experience some sort of meaningful connection or create a fun memory on a daily basis.

When life beats us down, we can do two things about it: accept our situation or try to change it.

A lot of the time, we blame ourselves for what goes wrong without realising the damaging affects the self-blame has on our health.

Here are more bad habits that damage our emotional health:

Self-criticism
We are the worse critics for ourselves and often demoralise ourselves when we fail. Remember, failure is a sign that you’re trying and it’s also a great teacher.

Unnecessary pride
Even when we know we should apologise, our pride doesn’t let us. If you want to gain the forgiveness of others, then admit your mistakes and take responsibility for what you did.

Internal-dialogue
This is probably the most damaging of the three. We often tend to use negative internal dialogue when we talk about ourselves. This monologue decrease self-esteem and self-worth.

Remember, positive minds live positive lives.

Try these tips if you are heading out straight after your gym workout to avoid looking like a sweaty Betty.

Use a little water

Splash water onto your face and use a little alcohol-free toner to help reduce the redness in your face.

Tinted moisturiser

Foundation can be too heavy to put on your face after an intense workout so opt instead for a tinted moisturiser.

Concealer

If you need a little more coverage, invest in a light concealer and just dab it on where ever it is needed.

Lip gloss

Before leaving the gym, pop on a little gloss for effect.

Mascara

A little bit of mascara goes a long way. Use it sparingly to open up your eyes and finish off your look.

If anyone says anything nasty to you, just tell them that you did a 60 minute intense workout while they munched on biscuits. That’ll show ‘em!
