KHLOE KARDASHIAN AND LAMAR ODOM REUNITE!

Reunion on the way? Lamar Odom was spotted with wife Khloe Kardashian at Kanye West's concert at the Staples Center in Los Angeles on Monday.

The rap ballads of Kim Kardashian's beau brought Khloe Kardashian under the same roof as Lamar Odom on Monday.The estranged spouses were seen enjoying Kanye West's concert at the Staples Center in Los Angeles among several members of the Kardashian clan including Kim, Rob, Kris and Bruce Jenner and their daughter Kendall.

Bruce Jenner's two sons, Brody and Brandon, were also in attendance. This marks Khloe, 29, and Odom's first public outing together in months following the 33-year-old NBA star's recent drug scandal. An insider told TMZ that Odom has been clean and sober for weeks and the Kardashians "are supporting his recovery and wanted him to have a good time."

According the gossip site, Kim is the one who organized the family reunion at her fiancé's show, inviting everyone to hang out in the VIP section.

TMZ’s source added that the reality star couple have not reconciled, however, a source revealed that the duo have been engaging in "secret meetings" lately to discuss their marital problems."They have been spending an increasing amount of time together," the source said.

At one time it seemed like reconciliation was impossible and divorce was inevitable.""He has never stopped loving Khloe. He adores her," the source added of Odom. "And he wants to prove to her that he is the same person she married."Khloe has recognized her husband's sobriety progress."Khloe is starting to forgive Lamar for his past, we'll have to see what happens."

Trouble between the married couple of four years first came to light when news of Odom's reported drug addiction broke along with an alleged affair.

SIMON COWELL TALKS FATHERHOOD: "I'M NOT BRILLIANT WITH BABIES" !

Simon Cowell is the first to admit he’ll have his hands full when girlfriend Lauren Silverman welcomes their child next year.

“I’m not brilliant with babies. I never know what to do,” the first-time dad-to-be confesses to Parade.In fact, Cowell is already looking forward to a later stage when he can “be a good dad in terms of advice.”“I’ll get to do all the things I want to do, like go to Disneyland or Universal Studios, teach him how to drive,” he says, adding, “I love all that.”

Reflecting on his own childhood, and how it’s inspired his role as a reality TV judge, Cowell admits he was a “lippy kid” and “couldn’t keep my mouth shut.”He recalls, ”I was always getting into trouble with my parents and in school, finding things funny that shouldn’t be. I couldn’t go to weddings or church because I would just lose it.”And in many ways, he’s still a child at heart, unabashedly admitting that he still loves “animals and cartoons.”“I pretty much like everything I liked as a kid — the same foods and TV programs,” says the music mogul. “I still watch ‘Scooby-Doo.’ I never grew up.

”Another key to Cowell’s happiness — keeping busy.“My number one fear is being bored,” Cowell says, quipping, “I’d rather jump off a bridge than retire and play golf.”

LADY GAGA COVERS GLAMOUR'S WOMEN OF THE YEAR ISSUE, SAYS "SHE'S NOT CONVENTIONALLY BEAUTIFUL"!

Lady Gaga is one of the most beloved superstars on the planet, which might explain why she was chosen to cover Glamour's Women of the Year issue.

Gaga, who is also honored as one of Glamour's 2013 Women of the Year, stuns as the December cover girl, striking a pose in a metallic Gucci wrap dress. But believe it or not, Mother Monster doesn't consider herself "conventionally beautiful" -- she's grown to love who she is on the inside rather than the outside.“If there was some sort of mathematical equation for beauty, I don’t know if I would be the algorithm," Lady Gaga tells Andy Cohen, who interviewed her for the Glamour story. "I’ve always been OK with that. I’m not a supermodel. That’s not what I do. What I do is music. I want my fans to feel the way I do, to know what they have to offer is just as important, more important, than what’s happening on the outside.”"I’m confident in who I am," she adds. "I’ve come to a place in my life where I’ve accepted things that are me, as opposed to feeling pressure to explain myself to people around me. That’s just the way I’ve always tried to be. It didn’t change when I became a star."

Speaking of becoming a star, Lady Gaga didn't just leave behind her normal day-to-day life, she let go of her real name: Stefani Germanotta.

The "Applause" singer admits she only allows family and close friends to call her Stefani.“I’m both all the time. Gaga and Stefani are my nicknames. I guess when people meet me for the first time and call me Stefani, it bothers me. Because it’s something that’s reserved for only the people who are closest to me," she explains. "It’s not because I don’t like my given name; it’s that I became somebody else. I became somebody else for a reason, you know. This is part of what my message is -- you can become whoever you want to be, to escape your past.”

RIPPED DENIM: HOW TO WEAR IT NOW!

The pursuit of effortlessness perseveres, but as one would expect it, a year gone by is bound to reflect a change in direction for ripped denim, as the trend raises higher forfall 2013.

Last year, everything pointed towards an unexpected shift in style, as the shredded denim transitioned from a super-sloppy aesthetic, to an all grown-up one.

This season, the evolution follows its natural course as we witness the torn-up denim expand into super-chic territory, slowly but surely building its way into 2014.Not suitable for most occasions in the not so distant past, ripped denim became de rigueur in 2013. Here’s how to rock the
this season by turning it into a testimony of flawless style.

When talking ripped jeans for 2013, the main challenge consists in trying to maintain a state of comfort, while still aiming for the distressed jeans to look effortlessly pulled together. The chicer, the better, but the stylish doesn’t necessarily come by the way of channeling your femininity.

From classy, edgy and super-tough approaches, to menswear inspired takes on the trend, the ways to enhance the shredded jeans appear rather endless and Sometimes a little goes a long way, other times instead, going all out is just a matter of differentiating your style amongst others that stand-out in equal measure.

The same principle can be applied when choosing your take on ripped jeans for 2013. If your goal is to make them a statement and keep in touch with the core of the trend, opt for those boyfriend jeans featuring cuts that expose whole knees or sections of leg. Complete the statement with slick heels to keep the balance leaning towards sophistication.

If you seek something that will probably last you longer, promising to transition you through many more of the seasons to come, choose subtle shreds in your jeans and enhance their rebellious quality using bold prints, playful colors and statement footwear.

ADD SOME RETRO FLARE TO YOUR LOOKS WITH BOLD CATEYE SUNNIES!

Some inspirational ideas.

WHEN IT COMES TO BLUSH, ORANGE IS THE NEW PINK!

Looks like there's a new beauty trend gaining traction.We are starting to pass over typical rouge shades like poppy, berry, and rose in favor of orangey hues like tangerine, pumpkin, and carrot.Wondering why?

it looks much more naturally burnished on tanned and dark complexions, and a bit more sun-kissed than flustered on fair complexions.

Think you might want to get in on the trend before it hits fever pitch? Put down the pink blush and pick up the orangey one.It's actually perfect on all skin tones.

KATE MIDDLETON LOOKS LOVELY IN ALEXANDER MCQUEEN FOR THE ROYAL CHRISTENING!

Kate Middleton and Prince William made their way to Saint James' palace in their fanciest attire for little Prince George's christening.

William in a classic suit with his favorite blue tie, George in a handmade robe by Angela Kelly and the Duchess in Alexander McQueen.

Kate's cream design featured thick ruffles and a full swingy skirt. An ivory Jane Taylor fascinator and dainty gold teardrop earrings added to the elegance of this daytime look. She pinned her shiny auburn tinted hair half back and stuck with her go-to black eyeliner. Now, let's get to the photos! Are you as enamored by the royal trio as we are?


HERE'S HOW TO BEAT A BAD HAIR DAY IN 5 MINUTES FLAT!

The next time you find yourself struggling with limp, lackluster strands that simply won't cooperate, don't fret.

Take a cue from a few of our favorite celebs and rock the wet look.Of course you won't step outside with hair that's actually sopping wet; your mane will merely look that way if you style your strands with a high-shine hair gel.

Here's how to use it:-Dampen a bristle brush and brush your hair into the desired shape, from roots to tips. Make sure the hair is saturated, but not dripping.-Palm a high-shine holding gel through your hair, from the roots to mid-shaft. You want the ends to dry to their natural texture.-Finish styling your hair.

Insert a deep side part and pin your hair into a low, twisty bun, like Genevive Nnaji and Rooney Mara. If your strands are short, slick it back behind your ears, like Rachael Taylor. If you want a look that's classic and chic, brush it into a ponytail that sits just below your crown, like Heidi Klum.

BLACK AND BROWN!

We don't see nearly enough of Rachel Bilson's cute and practical street style. Today, however, we're in luck. The actress took to the sidewalks of Beverly Hills in a look we can't help but admire. Why? Because it breaks all the rules—without going Nicki Minaj.

You know that simple color law that is practically ingrained in our DNA? That taboo mixture of black and brown? Rachel threw it out and stomped all over it in a caramel silk skirt, jet ankle boots and a patent belt. Karen Walker's tortoiseshell shades offered a smart melange of the two hues while her newly darkened locks and that heavy duty Chanel tote toughened things up.

The mere fact she was able to mix a ladylike skirt with western footwear and not look like she's en route to a square dance meet-up is a pretty lofty accomplishment. Much like her character on Hart of Dixie, she was all city with a little southern flare. Take a peek at the pictures to see what we mean.

TRESS TRICK TO TRY: FATTEN UP YOUR FISHTAIL BRAID!

Now that your regular, run of the mill side braid has been upgraded to the four-strand fishtail, it's time to up the ante on the look once again by plumping up the plait. As recently seen on Maria Menounos and singer Rochelle Humes.

when it comes to braids these days, apparently the bigger, the better.If your hair happens to be on the thinner side, try one of these tricks to thicken up your plait:

1) Add extensions. Just clip them in before you start braiding. (Bonus points if they're a totally different color from your hair; an ombre fishtail braid would be stunning.)

2) Add extra texture. A light dusting of volumizing and texturizing powder, or a spritz of sea salt spray, will remove the slip from pin-straight strands, which will help your hair seem thicker. 

3) Pull it apart. After loosely braiding your hair down to the ends and securing it with a snag-free elastic, rustle the braid between your fingers to relax it even more. A slack braid tends to appear thicker than one that is taut.

PARIS HILTON TAKES A SUPER CHIC STROLL THROUGH MR BONES PUMPKIN PATCH!

Halloween is right around the corner, so it's that time of year when we expect to see celebrities and their children trudging through Mr. Bones Pumpkin Patch.

With that said, you'll have to forgive us for being completely surprised to see Paris Hilton there. Wearing a sexy dress. And high heels. (Obviously.)

The heiress turned picking out a few pumpkins into an impromptu runway show by wearing a non-trend '70s style secretary wrap dress, a pair of black patent leather Christian Louboutin pumps, oversize sunglasses, and a quilted Chanel 2.55 bag. 

Dressing this glamorously isn't at all practical for shopping for pumpkins on a makeshift farm filled with mud and hay, but, Paris' outfit choice presents a pretty important sartorial point—if you want to turn heads and ensure all eyes stay on you, put practicality aside. In that case, it's always better to dress up than dress down, no matter what you are doing.

MARY-KATE AND ASHLEY OLSEN ARE THE LATEST COVER STARS FOR NET-A PORTER'S WEEKLY DIGITAL MAGAZINE, THE EDIT!

Our favorite stylish twins, Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen are the latest cover stars for Net-a-Porter's weekly digital magazine, The Edit.

This edition is all about modern classics—so who better to discuss such a topic than these fashion designers and successful businesswomen.

Wearing pieces from their luxury basics line, The Row (for which they won a CFDA Award), the sisters give rare insight into their creative process.“

We saw a space in the market,” Ashley tells Net-A-Porter. “We knew there wasn’t another brand offering basics in a luxurious and contemporary way.

If I wear certain designer brands, or too much of something, I look crazy, and I need something to break it up.

If you are wearing a Chanel jacket and you need an anonymous piece that will show just how special that jacket is, I hope that is what The Row gives you.

KIM AND KANYE ENGAGED! ALL THE DETAILS ON THE RING AND THE ROMANTIC PROPOSAL!

Having secured the go-ahead from Kim's mum, kanye got down on one knee and proposed to Kim with a flawless 15-carat diamond ring by celebrity jeweler Lorraine Schwartz.

Aiding in his effort was the field's jumbo screen, which flashed the sign "PLEEEASE MARRY MEEE!!!"

A 50-piece orchestra played Lana Rey's "Young and Beautiful" followed by Keri Hilson, Ne-Yo and Kanye's "Knock You Dowm".

Fireworks and Roman candles exploded into the night sky, setting quite the mood for one heck of a birthday present for Kim.

The stadium, home to the San Francisco Giants, was completely empty except for their nearest and dearest, whose presence came as a surprise to Kim when they poured out of one of the dugouts after she said yes.

Congrats to them!

KIM KARDASHIAN AND KANYE WEST ENGAGED!

This has got to be the happiest of birthdays for Kim Kardashian.

On the day she turned the big 3-3, she got a very extravagant proposal from boyfriend and baby daddy Kanye West.

Looks like Kim’s “Jesus year” is going to be her Yeezus year!On the eve of his tour launch, Kanye locked down his love at San Francisco’s AT&T Park, which he rented out for the occasion.

While there are no details yet on exactly how the proposal went down or the ring Kim got, we’re sure both were stylish and extravagant. After all, this is Kimye we’re talking about here!

This isn’t the first time Kanye has taken the go-big-or-go-home approach in his headline-grabbing relationship with Kim. Back in December 2012, ‘Ye announced to an entire arena of fans that he and Kim were expecting a baby. We guess his love is so big only a stadium can hold it.

Kanye has been engaged once before to designer Alexis Phifer, but his marriage to Kim Kardashian would be his first.

Kim has been twice married (to Damon Thomas in 2000 and Kris Humphries in 2011), so here’s hoping Kanye’s the charm!
