During New York Fashion Week, little North West threw not one but TWO front-row tantrums. It’s not North’s fault, of course. Her parents are just jackasses and they don’t realize that front-row at a fashion show is not the best place for a toddler. The first tantrum came at Kanye West’s Adidas show, while Anna Wintour was sitting right next to Kim Kardashian (Kim was holding North). The second tantrum came when Kim, Kanye and North were sitting front row at Alexander Wang’s show. Kim was so embarrassed, she took North backstage and left her there while Kim returned to her seat. After those displays, it’s been rumored that Wintour was considering putting her foot down. Now The Daily Mail says it’s happened, and Nuclear Wintour has officially BANNED children from runway shows.
Ice queen Anna Wintour has told designers not to allow toddlers on the front row at fashion shows she attends after Kim Kardashian’s daughter North threw a double tantrum. The US Vogue editor told aides of the ban during London Fashion Week, I can reveal.
The final straw for Wintour came when North got agitated during her father Kanye West’s recent show in New York and the one-year-old had to be taken out of the room by a nanny. During little North’s outburst, Wintour, 65, wrinkled her nose in disgust.
This followed North’s previous flare-up at another recent New York show, which left Anna looking distinctly unimpressed, left.
[From The Daily Mail]
Anna Wintour has similar bans on puppies, toothy smiles, kittens, laughter, gluten, glitter and hearts of gold. No children, ever!! I actually see Wintour’s point, but it shouldn’t be her call. It should be the PARENTS deciding that their children don’t belong at fashion shows. But since that won’t happen any time soon, yes, let’s just go ahead and make the decree. I wonder if Paris Fashion Week will follow suit, because North West has been to a bunch of PFW shows in the past. I’ve always assumed that designers welcome North at their shows because she’s the most popular member of her family.

Increasingly, it become clearer that James Middleton is never going to light the world on fire with his sparkling wit and business acumen. His businesses are always a disaster, even Boomf! Who would have thought that transferring Instagrams onto marshmallows wasn’t a huge moneymaker?! But at least one of the Middleton children ended up getting their mother’s drive and moneymaking capabilities: Pippa. I’ve defended Pippa’s ability to hustle before, but I got sidetracked by #PippaTips, the failure of her book and her rather tedious “journalism” career. As it turns out though, Pippa is making bank.
She has never made any claims to being a brilliant businesswoman but it seems that is exactly what Pippa Middleton is. The Duchess of Cambridge’s younger sister has raked in nearly a quarter of a million pounds in the last year, according to figures released by Companies House.
Pippa is the sole director and shareholder of PXM Enterprises Limited which has assets totalling £229,241, including £211,521 in cash in its first year. By contrast, the companies belonging to younger brother James have never posted a profit and two have now been de-registered. The two, Nice Cakes Ltd and Nice Wine Ltd, had assets worth just £20 when they closed, according to Companies House paperwork.
As a result, Pippa has made approximately £229,221 more than her brother in the period between the company’s incorporation in May 2013 and the end of May last year. In it, she lists the nature of the business as being ‘Other publishing activities’, perhaps in a reference to her much-maligned party book, Celebrate!. Along with the book, Pippa, 31, is believed to have earned the money with a number of writing assignments, which including her regular column for supermarket magazine, Waitrose Kitchen. She also penned a series of columns in her position as a contributing editor of Vanity Fair and another for a British newspaper. Her other source of income comes from her parents’ company Party Pieces, where Pippa is employed to edit web magazine, the Party Times.
The documents show that after paying creditors £115,000, her business was left with a profit of £115,192.
[From The Daily Mail]
I don’t understand the £115,000 in debt. What did she need to buy on credit? Her jobs are pretty simple: she’s a half-assed essayist, half-assed cook and half-assed party planner. Why do those jobs need £115,000 in start-up costs? Does she have, like, really expensive office space? In any case, Pippa is making good money for being little more than a professional socialite and hostess. It’s such a throwback job description, right? But kudos to her – at least one of the Middleton siblings has a work ethic.

Kane Biermann is on the run!
The youngest son of Kim Zolciak and Kroy Biermann decided to live on the edge this week as he stole his twin sister, Kaia’s, blanket! Kim caught him in the act, snapped a (cute) picture and immediately shared it on Instagram. She captioned the photo:
Kane the thief!! He stole Kaia’s blanket and took off, I was calling him to come back and he turns around and looks at me like ‘b***h what?” “She bites me, pulls my hats off, pushes me, and now it’s her turn’.”
In Kane’s defense, who could deny such a cute and ultra-cuddly blanket? I have a feeling there’s going to be plenty more moments like these in the future and we hope Kim shares them all on Instagram!
The Kardashian family is an interesting family, to say the least. After all, that’s probably why they have their own show — Keeping Up With The Kardashians.
Over the past week, a new rumor has surfaced that Kim Kardashian has some pretty fancy demands when it comes to North West’s bath time. According to rumors, Kim will only allow North to be bathed in bottled water and it has to be heated “manually.” So, is this true or just another crazy rumor?
As of right now, this is all just a rumor. Even though it has not been confirmed as being true, but it certainly wouldn’t come as a surprise. After all, Kim and Kanye West live quite the lavish lifestyle and North West has an army of nannies that watch after her.
So, we ask you; Celebrity Baby Scoop readers — do you think this rumor is true or false?
So, how did you do in yesterday’s round of trivia?
We asked you to tell us who the celebrity child was in the picture below:
A lot of you commented on the post saying that you thought it was Axl Duhamel… So, who was that baby?
It was Axl!
So, if you guessed Axl, you were right! Congrats!

Jennifer Lawrence and David O. Russell are working together in Boston on their third collaboration, Joy (the Miracle Mop biopic). JLaw’s been spotted walking her dog in the snow, and she flipped off the paparazzi. We talked on Friday about the reported screaming match between JLaw and Russell, who also kicked Harvey Weinstein off the set. I referenced a NSFW video of Russell screaming at Lily Tomlin. The video was filmed on the I Heart Huckabees (2004) set. Russell was blacklisted for years after that disturbing tirade but came back with The Fighter (2010). George Clooney, who worked with Russell on Three Kings (1999), went on record saying the director pushed and humiliated people on the regular.
Page Six had a different take on the situation, which their source described as a “meltdown” on JLaw’s behalf: “He was screaming at her. She was screaming at him. It was loud.” A studio publicist said, “There was no fight. David is very passionate.” The scene in question was heavy, and JLaw was holding a crying baby. Assuming this wasn’t a fake baby scenario, a young child was subjected to this mess. Jennifer got wind of these stories and defended Russell on Facebook. Several aspects of this note feels “off” to me, so let’s discuss:
Hey guys!
It’s Jen! I know I don’t go on here a lot because I can barely work email but there’s been a terrible rumor going around the last 24 hours so I wanted to clear it up.
David O. Russell is one of my closest friends and we have an amazing collaborative working relationship. I adore this man and he does not deserve this tabloid malarkey. This movie is going great and I’m having a blast making it!
[From Jennifer Lawrence on Facebook]
Here are my issues: (1) This statement doesn’t deny anything about the screaming match. It only raves about Russell. (2) This doesn’t read like anything that would come out of Jennifer’s mouth. It sounds like a PR person (a fan of Joe Biden) trying to sound like JLaw, who has probably never used the word “malarkey“; (3) The statement comes from Jennifer’s official Facebook page, but JLaw has previously gone on record to say, “If you ever see a Facebook, Instagram or Twitter that says it’s me, it most certainly is not“; (4) “Jennifer” claims not to understand email, but she enjoys it enough to craft “peanutbutt” as her handle (as revealed in the Sony hack).
JLaw has a big enough career that we can assume she chose to work with Russell again. Perhaps she feels like she owes him after winning an Oscar for one of his films. Maybe she’s wary of speaking against a rage monster, who was welcomed back into Hollywood despite his bad behavior. George Clooney got away with telling the truth about Russell, but could an actress do the same without being seen as “difficult”? That’s an actual question.
Another bit of JLaw news. This week’s issue of Star has a little blurb about her waning friendship with Bradley Cooper. BCoop will also appear in Joy, but he and JLaw are acting “quite frosty” towards each other, and “nobody knows exactly why.”

Name two mega-hit songs by Kid Rock. Seriously. Can you do it? I was thinking about it for a few minutes and I came up with “Cowboy” and his cover of “Sweet Home Alabama.” I’m sure he has other hits, of course, but it’s not like he’s some iconic and wildly successful singer-songwriter. I bring this up because Kid Rock DARED to say something rude, critical and offensive about Beyonce and as you can imagine, the Beyhive went crazy. The Beygency Is Real, people. Here’s what Kid Rock said originally to Rolling Stone:
“Beyoncé, to me, doesn’t have a f–king ‘Purple Rain,’ but she’s the biggest thing on Earth. How can you be that big without at least one ‘Sweet Home Alabama’ or ‘Old Time Rock & Roll’? People are like, ‘Beyoncé’s hot. Got a nice f–king ass.’ I’m like, ‘Cool, I like skinny white chicks with big t-ts.’ Doesn’t really f–king do much for me.”
[From RS via E! News]
If his argument is just that Beyonce doesn’t have a catalog of hits, that’s one thing (he’s wrong, but let’s put that aside for now). What I find offensive is that Kid Rock went immediately to discussing her body. If she’s not his type, so be it. But to mention her looks and her body in the same breath as he’s criticizing her career is… gross and sexist. And incidentally, Beyonce isn’t into dirt-lipped rednecks with beer guts, you know? If we’re talking about looks, it goes both ways. As for Kid Rock’s claim that she doesn’t have a catalog full of iconic hits…A) he’s doesn’t have one either and B) Beyonce is closer to that kind of iconic, hit-machine status more than nearly anyone else out there in music today. Beyonce is more iconic – and her catalog is more significant – than even Taylor Swift, I would say. “Halo”. “Bootylicious.” “Independent Women.” “Drunk In Love.” “Crazy In Love.” “Single Ladies.” “Partition.” “XO.” “Ring the Alarm.” “Baby Boy.”
So, obviously, the Beyhive went after Kid Rock. They started posting this kind of stuff on his Instagram:
Gawker has more screencaps here. Kid Rock is the Beygency’s #1 enemy right now. As it should be. And here’s how Kid Rock responded to The Beyhive:

I’m going to use this ^^ photo of Madonna from now on, okay? Anyway, I’m sort of surprised with how Madonna’s promotional tour for her new album has been going thus far. I don’t hate it. And Madonna hasn’t been a complete jackass. The quotes coming out of her Rolling Stone interview were at times on-point and at the very least, thought-provoking. She explained her BRIT Awards fall and her explanation sounded legit. And in a new interview, she’s taking on French politics. Sort of. In the past years, Madonna has been outspoken of her disdain for Marine Le Pen, the leader of France’s far-right wing part, the National Front. Madonna has gotten in trouble for openly comparing Le Pen to Adolf Hitler and the Nazis. Now that everyone is on edge in France following the Charlie Hebdo massacre and the assault on the Jewish deli, Madge decided it would be a great idea to chime in once again on what she sees as a rise in anti-Semitism in France particularly:
In a recent interview with French radio station Europe 1, Madonna slammed “the level of intolerance” in France and across all of Europe, saying, it “feels like Nazi Germany.”
“We’re living in crazy times,” she said. “Antisemitism is at an all-time high…It’s not just happening in France, it’s all over Europe. But particularly in France. It was a country that embraced everyone and encouraged freedom in every way shape or form. Now that’s completely gone.”
This isn’t the first time Madge has spoken out on this issue. During a July 2012 concert in Paris, she flashed a photo of one Marine Le Pen (who heads the France’s far right Front National) with a swastika on her forehead. After the party threatened to sue, the Material Girl ultimately dropped the swastika and replaced it with a question mark on her forehead.
She did, though, speak out against this extremist party, calling it “fascist.” She stands by her criticism, too, saying (per the U.K.’s Guardian), “What I said two years ago is still valid today…The level of intolerance is so enormous it’s scary.”
[From E! News]
To be fair to Madonna (what is happening to me?), Israel’s prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu said pretty much the same thing a few weeks ago, and he took it one step further by encouraging European Jews to move to Israel en masse. Not only that, but French Jews are actually moving. Following a rising rate of crimes and assaults on Jewish people and Jewish-owned property, French Jews have been emigrating to Israel in increasing numbers. What I’m saying is that Madonna might actually have a point?
