Full disclosure: I haven’t been inside a church in decades. And I’m fine with that. But if I needed to go to church for some reason (beyond wedding/funeral), I would like to think that I would at least show the proper respect to “going to church” with my style. I live in sweatpants and jeans for the most part, but I have some nice business-wear slacks and blouses and I’d probably bust out something clean, presentable and covered-up for church. Maybe it’s because I live in the South, but I believe you should do conservative, business-type looks for A) church or B) court. Church is not the time to do ripped jeans and a matching ripped t-shirt.
So, with all that mind, here are the photos from the Kardashians’ visit to church yesterday for Easter. Kim Kardashian, Kanye West and North coordinated their all-white looks. I have to give it to Kim – despite the fact that her ensemble is at least one size too small and utterly unflattering, she looks perfectly acceptable for church. North’s church clothes are fine too (baby’s first sack dress), and I even like her little flower wreath. But Kanye? Ripped jeans AND a holey t-shirt? Nope.
Oh, and I don’t know why I found this so charming – maybe because I actually believe she did this – but Kim posted an Instagram of her “Easter prep” – go here to see. I think she was making Easter baskets for North and for her nieces and nephew. I really do believe that she sat there and put those baskets together for whatever reason.
What else? Kendall’s church ensemble left something to be desired. Gaucho-skirt and wrap halter top revealing your midriff? Not in the house of God, girl! Khloe looks okay, meaning she’s reasonably covered up. Although the dress is much too tight, but whatever. This family… ugh.

Here are some photos of the royal family going to Easter church service yesterday at Windsor Castle. Missing from the group: Prince Charles, the Duchess of Cornwall, Prince William, Prince Harry and Duchess Kate. I don’t see Princess Anne or Prince Philip either (update: Anne was there, I missed her). But Queen Elizabeth was joined by her youngest sons, the Duke of York and the Earl of Wessex (Andrew and Edward). The Queen was also joined by Peter Phillips, who is Anne’s son, and Peter’s wife Autumn. Autumn is very pretty!
Who else? Princess Beatrice of York was there, as was the Countess of Wessex and her daughter Lady Louise Windsor. Quick question: why isn’t Louise a princess? And why is she a Windsor rather than a Wessex? Surely her title should be Princess Louise of Wessex? Andrew’s daughters are princesses, and they go by “York,” his ducal title. I’m fascinated by titles and who gets to be called what. I still maintain that Kate is not now and has never been a princess, other than “Princess William of Wales.”
There’s also an interesting update on the Beatrice situation. Back in February of this year, the British papers began to note that Beatrice, 26, seemed to be on some kind of extended holiday following her exit from a cushy job at Sony in London. She quit working back in December, and then spent two months going on endless vacations and partying up a storm (or as Will and Kate call it, “business as usual”).
When she was criticized for her seeming aimlessness, Beatrice’s people quickly announced that she had just started a dodgy-sounding “finance” program in America. In the middle of February. Which made no real sense. Anyway, the UK papers now say that Beatrice is “considering” a permanent relocation to America, specifically to NYC. Which is weird, right? Because we were told in February that she had already moved to America. As it turns out, Beatrice “recently completed a finance course at a university in San Francisco” (there’s a B.S. University in San Fran?) and now she’s interviewing for some financial positions in NYC, hoping to move there permanently. True story though: I have no idea when her San Francisco finance course was supposed to happen, because she was photographed in and around London throughout March. Very fishy.

People Magazine is squeezing as many stories out of their exclusive interview with Giuliana Rancic as possible. I can’t blame them, she’s a controversial figure who gets a lot of interest. So far they’re published no less than four stories on Giuliana, by my count, in the past week. Two of those posts were justifications for her tiny frame, with Giuliana blaming her low weight on a common cancer treatment drug in one story (some of you assumed it was Tamoxifen, although that hasn’t been confirmed) and then claiming, in a roundabout way, that childhood scoliosis contributed to her appearance. In that story, Giuliana said that recent criticism of her weight was “very hurtful to me” and that “even if I gained 20 pounds, my bones would still look the way they do.” It sounded like a lot of justification with some denial mixed in, but I don’t know her and she’s a cancer survivor. It’s possible there’s something going on with her health that even she doesn’t know about.
In a new interview with Giuliana, she reveals that she’s moving to Chicago for the foreseeable future.
The beleaguered Rancic is ready for a fresh start, in a new zip code. In August, the E! News host, her husband Bill and their 2-year-old son Duke will move full-time from Los Angeles to Chicago.
“Up until now, Duke’s been on our schedule,” Rancic says. “But he starts school at the end of summer and we want him to have a connection with schoolmates and not be going from city to city.”
And a bonus: The Rancics, who have lived part-time in Chicago (Bill’s hometown) and commuted back and forth for work and their E! reality show, Giuliana and Bill, just finished construction on their dream home. “Bill and I both grew up in the suburbs,” Rancic says. “We love that sense of community. And I have loved Chicago ever since we started dating nine years ago.”
And thankfully for Rancic, her job in front of the camera won’t be affected. “I won’t be in LA on set as much,” she explains. “But there’s a lot of work in New York and Chicago too. I don’t have to pick one or the other.”
Summertime in the city might be the perfect antidote to recent dark times. “I’m really looking forward to the move,” says Rancic. “I’m excited!”
Does this mean that E! News is gradually letting Giuliana go or phasing back her role? If so, was this Giuliana’s choice? (I would doubt it.) I haven’t watched the show regularly, but whenever I’ve tuned in she’s been there. If she’s moving to Chicago at the end of the summer I would assume that she’s leaving E! News as a nightly reporter. Maybe she’ll still do weekend and/or special event coverage. We’ll have to see how they address it.
Meanwhile Fashion Police isn’t coming back until September, and that’s filmed so infrequently that Giuliana can fly out to do the segment and then fly back to Chicago. In another recent article on People, Giuliana explained that the joke she made about Zendaya’s dreadlocks (and apologized for twice) was “edited” and “taken out of context.” The article reiterates Kathy Griffin’s point that Giuliana didn’t write the joke. Giuliana adds that “On set, I made peace signs and I said boho twice… if I thought this joke could be interpreted another way, I never would have done it.” Giuliana also said that she received death threats on social media afterwards, which is despicable but sadly typical. (Twitter needs to take more responsibility and mete out swifter punishments for users who threaten and troll.)
It’s probably for the best that Giuliana is moving, both for her health and peace of mind. Chicago is such a great city and the people are really nice. I wouldn’t mind living there. I hope she’ll be happy but I get the sense she really loves LA and the spotlight.
Giuliana and Bill own a high end restaurant in Chicago called RPM Steak. Here’s a photo she recently posted with Bill’s parents. They spent Easter in Chicago.

Kylie Jenner scores an amazing amount of magazine photoshoots for a 17-year-old girl. The latest entry in Kylie’s portfolio created quite a stir. This picture is actually one that Kylie deleted, but her hairdresser posted it too. Kylie’s caption was, “What I wish I looked like all the time.” Her hairdresser thought it was hilarious that “peeps be getting turnt up on this skin sitch.” The controversy is that the shoot looks like Kylie did blackface.
Kylie went to church with her family yesterday, and Tyga was there too. Before church, she checked in on Twitter to explain the photos.
so just got the time to head on social media lol.. The photographer used a black light & neon lights for those photos.

Yes, In another world I wish I could have pink hair & blue eyes & covered in sparkles.

But in this world I’m happy w the way God created me. Happy Easter everybody

That last tweet is interesting, considering how the Kardashian women go to great lengths to modify their original bods. Kylie’s defense is that she was not wearing makeup to make her skin look darker, and it was all a visual lighting trick. But look at the top photo again. Her scalp isn’t as dark as the rest of her skin, so there was definitely some makeup involved in this transformation.
One more thing. Zendaya Coleman “liked” Kylie’s original (now-deleted) photo, and people asked her about it on Twitter. Zendaya rethought the shoot and then tweeted, “My baaaaadddd.” She added, “At first, I saw more of an avatar look but thank y’all for keepin me on point …. we all gotta stay aware of what image we project #lessons.”
Even though Kylie deleted the photo that showed her scalp, she did post another picture on Instagram asking everyone to “calm down.”
This is a black light and neon lights people lets all calm down @marcelocantuphoto @joycebonelli @chrisdylanhair @hubblestudio

Zayn Malik and his fiancée, Perrie Edwards (of Little Mix), went on a romantic vacation last week. She Instagrammed these pics to let everyone know that Zayn is perfectly okay after all of the drama and fallout after he escaped One Direction. The fans of 1D still aren’t okay. Madame Tussauds even started using a tissue attendant after fans kept bursting into tears around the group’s wax statues. The Zayn effect may spread to another British pop act. Sony execs are reportedly concerned that Zayn may pull Perrie away from Little Mix. That’s interesting, considering how fans accused Perrie of being the Yoko of One Direction.
Countless 1D stories continue to surface, and I’ll cover some of them in a moment. First up — the four remaining 1D members gave their first post-Zayn interview to The Sun:
Liam Paine: “It’s been a tough few weeks, probably the toughest since the band was formed five years ago. We’re gutted that Zayn chose to leave, but now after a few performances as a four piece, we’re feeling confident and are determined to carry on stronger than ever.”
Niall Horan: “We’re looking forward to seeing all our fans on tour this year. The fans are amazing. They are so loyal. All we want to do is make them proud and return their faith in us with a brilliant tour and an amazing new album.”
Louis Tomlinson: “All four of us are 100 per cent committed to staying in One Direction and we want to thank the fans for being so incredible during this time. We have so much more we still want to achieve. Our gigs in South Africa were some of the biggest the country has ever seen, so it’s exciting for us to keep breaking records for British music worldwide.”
Harry Styles: “It’s very exciting to be working on our fifth album, it shows how incredible the fans have been. A huge thank you to them for everything they’ve done for us. All the love to them.”
[From The Sun]
They sound very chipper in this interview, but I suspect these young men are on a very tight leash. All non-PR reports say the 1D guys feel extremely betrayed by Zayn. We already talked about how Louis Tomlinson popped off on Twitter last week. Reports indicate that the other members are upset about losing their 5-piece bonus. Zayn’s departure prevents them from receiving an extra £2 million for completing the contract as a unit. There’s also the rumor that Zayn dumped the group via text message after he left the tour. If that last detail is true, that’s cold. And it turns out that Zayn’s unimpressive new demo is actually a rejected 1D song from over a year ago.
Here’s another vacation photo of Perrie and Zayn from his Instagram account, which is still filled with many photos of Louis. Aww.
oui

In this week’s Star Magazine, “sources” theorized that Kaley Cuoco and Ryan Sweeting’s marriage is struggling these days. I’m including the Star story below. But it doesn’t really matter, because Kaley wants you to know that she and Ryan are fine. She posted this IG on Friday as a way of denying the reports, writing: We are totally getting divorced, can’t you tell!!?! 4 weeks apart and finally reunited – I missed this guy more than anything !! #rumors #notpregnant #totallymarried
Wait… they were apart for four weeks? Huh. That raises more questions than it answers! And now, here’s the Star story that got the ball rolling:
They’ve been married for only a year – but for Kaley Cuoco and Ryan Sweeting, the honeymoon is over. Looking more like an unhappily married couple than the madly in love newleyweds they once were, Kaley and Ryan have barely been seen together in recent months. And an insider says money issues have driven a wedge between them.
“Ryan sits around their home all day,” the insider says of the former tennis pro. “He’s not doing anything that will earn money and it’s driving Kaley crazy. They’re fighting all the time.”
[From Star Magazine, print edition]
Well, it actually seems like Ryan got off the couch and went away for a whole month. But yeah, it wouldn’t surprise me if Ryan wasn’t really bringing in any money and if that grated on Kaley’s nerves a bit. Still, she seems happy enough with their arrangement (until she isn’t).
Here are some photos of Kaley from the last week:

How dumb is Lindsay Lohan? Really dumb. First, Lindsay posted the above photo to her Instagram and Twitter. She’s trying to follow the “waist-training” trend, just like the Kardashian women, and just like the Kardashians and Beyonces before her, Lindsay Photoshopped the crap out of her selfie. It’s really obvious too, just like it was last month, when Lindsay was trying to make her thighs look small and instead looked like the door was warped around her butt. Well, same situation here. Just an FYI to all would-be selfie-taking amateur Photoshoppers: don’t take your selfies in front of staircases, doors or anything that will show your amateurish ‘Shop work.
Hilariously, Lindsay took down the larger photo and reposted a cropped version:
Love my waist trainer from @nowaistclique! #MajorSituation nowaistclique.com ??????????

Ha, that’s a much better attempt to hide her Photoshop work, so let’s give her a little bit of credit for that. Also: those shorts are… inappropriate.
What else? Let’s see… there’s a rumor going around London that Lindsay is dating one of the “stars” of the hit reality show The Only Way Is Essex. The guy is Jake Hall. Apparently, Jake and Lindsay had a “fling” – or what sounds more like a brief club hookup or one night stand – and it’s going to ruin his storyline on TOWIE.
Last thing: why in the world is Givenchy or Selfridges sending Lindsay Lohan their open toe boots? Those are like $3000 retail!!! And it’s not like Lindsay deserves to be on any freebie list.
@givenchyofficial thank you for my new #MajorSituation look!!!!! ???????????????? Thank you @theofficialselfridges

Here are some photos of Diane Kruger and Joshua Jackson out and about in NYC over the holiday weekend. I enjoy Diane’s street style only if she’s the only one who can pull off some of these looks. That denim skirt is… not the best. But I love her purple sweater. And I love the umbrella photos and I love that Diane and Joshua seem so connected, happy and in love after all these years. Every so often, some rumor will arise or some tabloid will claim that Diane and Joshua are done or having problems. It will break my heart if it ever comes to that. But for now, they really do seem solid. And no, they probably won’t ever get married. I think Diane is the one shutting it down and Joshua just seems to do whatever she wants.
Diane and Joshua are pretty busy these days. They’re in NYC these days because she’s filming The Infiltrator with Bryan Cranston, John Leguizamo, Benjamin Bratt and Amy Ryan. It’s set in the 1980s (?) and it involves a customs official uncovering one of Pablo Escobar’s money laundering schemes. Joshua is likely gearing up for Season 2 of The Affair. The showrunner of The Affair says that Season 2 will probably be more Joshua Jackson-intensive?
Oh, and Coachella starts later this week. Diane and Joshua almost always go, but I wonder if they’re too busy this year?

A lot of celebrity moms were spotted taking their kids to get their picture taken with the Easter bunny, or they took their kids out to hunt some Easter eggs. Kim Zolciak, on the other hands, decided to celebrate Easter by taking her kiddies to the beach! And yes, I’m totally jealous right now.
While some of us (ahem) are finally starting to get a little bit of warm weather, Kim and her family don’t have anything to worry about, as they dipped their toes in the sand. Kim also shared a decent bit of pictures of her little family getaway on her Instagram account. Check out the slideshow below to see them.
