A lot of celebrities have been weighing in on the Taylor-Kim-Kanye debate, with many taking sides, so it's kinda refreshing to hear that one star is on neither side and actually finds the whole thing BS.

Pretty Little Liars star Troian Bellisario was being interview by Cosmo, and even though the conversation started off with politics, it soon turned into the politics of celebs – namely of Taylor Swift, Kim Kardashian and Kanye West.

When asked about the Kardashian fam, Troian said: "Oh God, I have such an aversion to the Kardashians because I literally don't understand people's obsession with them and I don't want to accept them as our closest thing to a royal family."

However, on the flip-side, the actress also revealed that she's "appalled" by Tay's 'false feminism'.

"It seems like she's this person who's like, 'Sisterhood!' and then she does nothing but tear down the women that were once her friends."

Buuuuurn.

Speaking candidly on Loose Women this week, Katie Price revealed how Harvey, 14, had been threatened by a gang in a kidnapping plot that police foiled.

The mum-of-five also admitted that her family have been the target of many other plots in the past, with the most recent one focused on her disabled son, Harvey.

The kidnapping plot was discovered when mechanics found a tracking device on her pink Range Rover. 

Katie talked about how she was contacted by local police, who had taken hold of her car after mechanics informed them that a tracking device had been found.

"I’ve actually had three kidnap threats. One million pound ransoms and stuff. Scotland Yard actually knocked at my door – they knew exactly what was going to happen," Katie revealed on the ITV daytime show this week.

"And the last time it happened, they even slept outside my door. They knew the people were going to do it… they knew how they were going to get into the house…," she revealed.

Detailing how the plot was planned, Katie explained: "The first time it happened…. It was really serious to the point that the kids had to be followed to school because these people were going to follow me stop the car and take Harvey for a one million ransom."

Despite all of the help and extra protection, Katie admitted she still feels unsafe and worries abut herself and her kids. 

"The thing is, if they’re going to get you then they’re going to get you… You can buy all the security you want. I’ve got panic buttons and everything like that."

From the outside, it would seem as though Halsey is taking over the world, one hit record at a time. 

However, in her latest interview with Rolling Stone, the pop-star showed her fans a different and more vulnerable side.

The 21-year-old revealed that she suffered a miscarriage while on tour last year.

She explained how she was in a hotel room in Chicago before her album Badlands was released, and she was questioning everything: "What happens? Do I lose my record deal? Do I lose everything? Or do I keep the pregnancy? What are the fans going to think?" 

In a heartbreaking turn of events, Halsey revealed that she woke up in her Chicago hotel room, screaming and bleeding from the waist down just hours before she was supposed to go on stage.

That is when her panic set in, and she recalled wanting to cancel the show, but did not want to let down her loyal fans. 

"I'm like, 'I have to cancel this show' No one knew what to do."

The Colours singer ended up putting on an adult nappy, taking two painkillers and going out on stage.

How truly horrific for her. 

She went on to describe how she felt about the performance, stating "That was the moment of my life where I thought to myself, 'I don't feel like a f–king human being anymore.'"

Hasley did not reveal the father of her unborn baby, but we are just glad she is OK!

Mackenzie Foy, who was 10 when filming Twilight, has certainly grown up, and she is an absolute beauty! 

Now, we are not saying she wasn't lovely back in her younger days, but she has grown into a really gorgeous young woman. 

Mackenzie started acting and modelling when she was just three-years-old. 

Mackenzie has also been killing it in her acting career since the Twilight days.

Slay girl!

It's safe to say we go through a lot of lipstick. The colour that is 'in' one week, is out the next and ends up just lying in the bottom of our handbags.

Not ideal.

We all fancy the perfect pout that our fave lippy gives us, but have you ever wondered where the stuff that you put on lips actually comes from?!

Stylist to the stars, Rachel Zoe shared a video on her website, The Zoe Project, which documents the journey of lippy… and it's actually pretty cool.

Well, now you know!

Seven years after her passing, it looks like Jade Goody’s son Bobby could be heading for the catwalk.

Jeff Brazier has been speaking about the reaction to photos he uploaded of his 13-year-old son to social media saying that modelling could be in his future.

“I think that’s something he might like to do when he’s older, but obviously that’s not something that you can necessarily aspire to, you would have to qualify by looking a certain way,” Jeff said in an interview with The Sun.

 

Definitely took his mums best features, I wonder if he'll ever get any #modelling opportunities. #Handsome

“I know we’re all biased towards our children, but he does strike a handsome pose.”

But it seems Bobby has more than talents than we’ve seen in his dad’s social media posts.

“He also loves his drama and football. As a parent I just try and get him into everything that he shows an interest in.”

Jade tragically lost her battle with cancer seven years ago and left behind her sons Bobby and his younger brother Freddie.

Look, we know that the Kardashians are fond of their plastic surgery (no matter how much they deny it), but now it seems that Kris Jenner has gone one further and got something very unusual done.

The reality star caused concern during the week when she was pictured with a very swollen right hand.

Kris was out with her boyfriend, Corey Gamble, when the snap was taken and everyone immediately assumed that she had filler injected into her hands.

Beverly Hills surgeon Dr John Knight told Radar Online: "It looks like Kris Jenner had plastic rejuvenation on her hands. It's called Radiesse and it is a filler injected into her hands to make them appear more youthful. The swelling should go down in a few days."

However, a rep for the star told Gossip Cop that she had an operation to repair a bone which led to her hand swelling up.

JoJo has opened up about the extreme lengths she went to in the early 2000s to lose weight. 

In an interview with Popsugar, the 25-year-old revealed that she felt such an intense pressure to lose weight, and she even began injecting herself with supplements. 

The pop star also admitted to undergoing a very strict and unhealthy diet, telling Popsugar that she "ate 500 calories a day."

"I was injecting myself, it makes your body only need certain calories, so I ate 500 calories a day. It was the most unhealthy thing I've ever done."

JOJO

JoJo did not elaborate on the injections, but stated that she was roughly 17 when it all began, and she was no longer under her mother's management.

She explained her reasons for doing the extreme diet, highlighting the pressure she felt about her career and success. 

 "I felt like, 'If I don't do this, my album won't come out'."

JoJo has since gained back the weight she lost, and is happy about that, claiming that she no longer feels the pressure to follow other people. 

"What you think about yourself and the decisions you make is what's most important!"

We could not agree more!
