KIMYE Finally Engaged!!!
Before popping the question at San Francisco's AT&T Park, which he rented out for the occasion, he asked future mother-in-law Kris Jenner for her daughter's hand in marriage.
That part obviously went well.
Having secured the go-ahead from the Keeping Up With the Kardashians matriarch, he 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 Del Rey's "Young and Beautiful," followed by Keri Hilson, Ne-Yo and Kanye's "Knock You Down."
Fireworks and Roman candles exploded into the night sky, setting quite the mood for one heck of a birthday present for Kim, who turned 33 today.
Swoon, indeed.
The stadium, home to the San Francisco Giants, was completely empty except for their nearest and dearest, whose presence came as a complete surprise to Kim when they poured out of one of the dugouts after she said yes.
Even Kanye had just flown in from L.A., where he was a presenter at the 17th Hollywood Film Awards.
Meanwhile, baby North is in San Francisco with her mom and dad but was not present for the proposal in the chilly fall air.

Kendra Wilkinson Pregnant With Her Second Child
The couple are also parents to 3 1/2-year-old son Hank IV.
Kendra, 28, told us back in February that they'd be trying to add to their brood soon.
"I have a lot coming up in the next couple of months," the Kendra on Top star said. "But I'm really thinking in the next couple months, we're going to start trying because, you know, there's a lot I have to get out of my system before I put something back in it, if you know what I mean."
Kendra said again in May that she and Hank were getting "closer and closer" to trying for their second kid.
"Little Hank's at that perfect age and it's right where we want him, right where we want little Hank".
"It wasn't necessarily where we want ourselves, it's where we want little Hank to be, and little Hank's at that perfect spot, that perfect stage, where now, if we were to have baby No. 2, I think we would be OK."
And now, it's time for Hank IV to gear up for big-brotherhood!

Zimbabwe man jailed for 15 years for poisoning elephants
The court in the western town of Hwange also found Akim Masuku (26) guilty of illegal possession of ivory, handing down a total jail term of 15-and-a-half years, the Zimbabwe Parks and Wildlife Authority said.
The accused still faces separate charges for cyanide possession and for contravening environmental laws, wildlife officials said.
The case comes a day after the Parks and Wildlife Authority said 100 elephants had been killed by cyanide for their ivory in a single national park in just over a month.
"One hundred elephants have died in Hwange National Park due to cyanide poisoning and 12 people have since been arrested and four have been convicted and sentenced," it said.
Masuku's co-accused Norma Ncube (18) is set to appear in court on 30 October.
Three other poachers were in September sentenced to a minimum of 15 years each for poisoning 81 elephants.
They were also ordered to pay $600 000 to the wildlife authority for killing the animals.
Officials have given villagers living around the park until the end of October to hand over any cyanide they might have or risk arrest.
There are more than 120 000 elephants roaming Zimbabwe's poorly policed national parks.
Elephant tusks and other body parts are highly prized in Asia and the Middle East for ornaments, as talismans and for use in traditional medicine.

Sean "Diddy" Combs' Adorable Twin Daughters Model at Kids Fashion Week
Looks like good looks run in the family!
Sean "Diddy" Combs' adorable three daughters, Jessie, D'Lila and Chance, recently strutted their stuff at Kids Fashion Week in New York City for Swarovski and Ooh! La, La! shows, and they totally look like industry pros already!
Seven-year-old twins Jessie and D'Lila showed off their sweet smiles and long legs in pastel-colored frocks featuring embellished necklines and tulle hi-low skirts for a show-stopping model moment that turned heads immediately.
So precious!
They accessorized their looks with sparkly headbands, dainty charm bracelets and wedge sneakers for a funky flair, and we couldn't help but admire their poise and professionalism on the runway.+
Looks like these two little ladies learned a lot from their parents about how to handle the spotlight with grace and good manners!
Of course, proud papa Diddy and the twins' mom kim porter were sitting front row to cheer on the girls throughout the day, and the musician was tweeting up a storm to further promote his little ones.
He uploaded a cute pic of all of his girls after the show, captioning it, "My 3 little super models #ProudDad ...I'm really in trouble! No for real. No dating till you're 25!!!"
Too cute!

Hilarious Nollywood Actor Ime Bishop Umoh(Okon) set to wed this October
Kris Jenner: Kanye West Is an "Amazing Boyfriend" to Kim Kardashian and a "Great Dad"
Kris Jenner has always had nothing but glowing things to say about "roommate" Kanye West.
So what was her reaction when Kanye ranted against Jimmy Kimmel on Twitter after Kimmel spoofed one of his interviews?
"When someone lives down the hall, I see somebody who's..." the Keeping Up With the Kardashians matriarch mused to Hello Ross host Ross Mathews about the side of Kanye that her family is privy to on a daily basis.
"I love him so much," Kris explained, "and he's such an amazing boyfriend to Kim and a great dad and a wonderful person."
"And that's why I thought it was so cool to have him on my show, and I got to sit down with him for an entire hour, and I think people saw this other side to him," Kris continued.
"He's creative and he's an amazing, amazing human being, he really is. And he doesn't always do interviews and get the chance to realy express himself like that, so I was really glad that I got a chance to sit down and talk with him," she added.
"And it made me so happy that, you know, you guys got to see the Kanye that I know at home."
Video Thumbnail: Kris Jenner’s Baby Honeymoon ContinuesThe proud grandmother calls babysitting North “a really delicious time.” Find out how happy Kim was to be reunited with her bundle of joy!
It sounds like there's a lot of love in that house, especially now that Kanye and Kim Kardashian are back from Paris and reunited with their nearly 4-month-old daughter, North West.
Kim "was happy to be home, she missed her baby so much," Kris told E! News. "It was very cute."
And while little Nori's parents were away, grandma did get to babysit a bit.
"It was so much fun," Kris gushed. "It's just a really delicious time with those kids...and she's just the best mom in the world, they're really great parents."
Kim posted a new pic of North on Instgram today, writing about how much she missed her little angel, and both she and Kanye have been sporting matching "Nori" necklaces.
Miley Cyrus Quits Acting!
During an extended version of MTV's Miley: The Movement, the "Wrecking Ball" singer revealed she's no longer interested in being a TV and movie star. "I thought after my show I was gonna act," she revealed in the episode, which aired Sunday, Oct. 6. "I did one movie and I came back and said, 'I'm never doing that again. I'm going to do music for the rest of my life.'"
The movie Cyrus was referring to is So Undercover, which also starred Jeremy Piven, Kelly Osbourne and Josh Bowman. Originally slated to hit theaters in October 2011, it was released direct-to-video on Feb. 5, 2013. It did, however, earn more than $2.1 million at the box office in overseas markets.
Bangerz has given Cyrus the opportunity to reinvent her public persona. "I'm starting as a new artist," explained the star, who enjoyed box office successes with The Last Song and Bolt. "That's how I think of it."
The 20-year-old pop singer is eager to leave her Hannah Montana days behind. "My whole life it was never about having control. S--t would just come out with my face on it, and that was it," she recalled. "So now nothing can have my face on it, my name on it, that isn't dope—that isn't a part of the movement."
Currently single, Cyrus added that she plans to put in extra hours making Bangerz a worldwide success. "I'm gonna sleep when I'm dead," she explained, "'cause right now, this isn't the time to be worried about how many hours of sleep you can get or how much you can hang out."
Scarlett Johansson Named Esquire's Sexiest Woman Alive for the Second Time in Seven Years
The 28-year-old beauty first earned the title in 2006, and since then, a lot has changed. Johansson married and divorced Ryan Reynolds; won a Tony Award for her performance in A View from the Bridge; costarred in the third highest-grossing movie of all-time, The Avengers; and got engaged to ad exec Romain Dauriac.
Johansson maintains a sense of humor about her Esquire honor, telling the mag, "I'm the only woman to win twice right? You know, I gotta hustle. I'm a 28-year-old woman in the movie business, right? Pretty soon the roles you're offered all become mothers. Then they just sort of stop. I have to hedge against that with work-theater, producing; this thing with Esquire."
Chris Brown Says He Lost His Virginity at 8 Years Old, Slams His Latest Community Service Order
Brown, who lost his virginity at age eight to a girl who was 14 or 15, told the mag with a chuckle, "It's different in the country," adding that he and his friends watched a lot of porn. "By that point, we were already kind of like hot to trot, you know what I'm saying? Like, girls, we weren't afraid to talk to them; I wasn't afraid. So, at eight, being able to do it, it kind of preps you for the long run, so you can be a beast at it. You can be the best at it."
The singer also knew early on that he wanted to be a singer, and was discovered by a record producer when he was only 13.
While Brown's career took off when he released his double-platinum debut album Chris Brown at 15, things took a turn for the worst in February 2009 when the Battle of the Year star got into a physical altercation with his then-girlfriend Rihanna.
Brown called the incident "probably the biggest wake-up call for me," saying, "I had to stop acting like a little teenager, a crazy, wild young guy."
Since that incident, he has gone on to win a Grammy, and release three more albums, saying he wanted to prove people wrong—that he could make a comeback after it.
And although it seems he accomplished that goal, Brown hit another snag in August when a judge revoked his probation and gave him 1,000 additional hours of community service after he was involved in a hit-and-run accident earlier this summer.
Referring to the judge's "comprise" ruling as vindictive, Brown said, "Community service, that sh-t is a b-tch. I'll be honest – and you can quote me on that – that is a motherf--ker there. For me, I think it's more of a power trip for the DA. I can speak freely now, because I don't really care what they say about it, but as far as, like, the 1,000 extra hours they gave me, that's totally fricking bananas."
"They want me to be the example," Brown went on. "Young black kids don't have the fairer chances. You can see Lindsay Lohan in and out of court every day, you see Charlie Sheen, whoever else, do what they want to do."
"There hasn't been any incident that I started since I got on probation, even with the Frank Ocean fight, the Drake situation, all those were defense modes," he went on. "People think I just walk around as the aggressor, this mad black guy, this angry, young, troubled kid, but I'm not. I'm more and more laid-back. It's just that people know if they push a button, it'll make more news than their music. Attaching themselves to me, good or bad, will benefit them."
As far as where Brown sees himself in the future, he said he wants to be "wealthy" and "sell ground-breaking numbers on an album."
Perhaps that success will come with his next album, X, which he describes as "musically sound, diverse" with a "lot of different genres attached."
Naya Rivera and Big Sean Are Engaged—Check Out Her Ring!
It looks like Big Sean decided to put a (large and beautiful) ring on it because the rapper and the Glee star are engaged, her rep confirms to E! News (Just Jared first broke the news). Rivera even showed off her new sparkler tonight at Latina magazine's Hollywood Hot List Party!
The duo stepped out for the first time as a couple in April when they attended the premiere of the film 42 at the TCL Chinese Theater in Hollywood, however there were hints prior to that appearance that led fans to believe something was brewing between these two.
A photo of the Glee gal making a stop at the rapper's big 25th birthday party at Wolfgang's Steakhouse in Hollywood earlier this year, and the "Mercy" lyricist 'fessed up to his not-so-little crush on the 26-year-old actress when he visited Los Angeles' hip-hop radio station Power 106.
During an interview, the DJ asked Big Sean to spill "the name of the hottest girl [he's] ever been with." And Sean responded: "Maybe it's, uh, Naya. Maybe Naya."
After their relationship became known, the couple admitted that they met on—wait for it—Twitter. After deciding to follow each other and having a couple direct messages back and forth, the once-tweeting pals became something more.
Big Sean even gushed about his girl to E! News, telling us, "Every morning I wake up, I look over at her and be like, 'I'm winning so hard.'"
Aw! Congratulations!

Kim Kardashian Thanks Designers for North West's Incredible Baby Clothes—See the Pics!
Naturally, designers are eager to have the mini-fashionista wearing their clothes. Mom Kim Kardashian shared pictures on Instagram of some of the precious ensembles sent to Nori, and of course, the E! star made sure to thank each designer!
Lanvin's Alber Elbaz sent Nori some beautiful, girly items to wear and a note that read, "Dear North, Welcome to the world. We love you!"
Kim Kardashian's Screensaver Is Baby North West—See the New Photo!
While in Paris with Kanye West for Fashion Week, sightseeing and other très chic activities, Kim Kardashian placed her iPhone on the table while sitting at a sidewalk café—and her screensaver turned out to be a photo of her daughter!
A paparazzo was just able to capture the pic within the pic, the first glimpse we've seen of North since her debut on grandma Kris Jenner's talk show, when Kanye brought a photo of his little girl to share on camera.
And it makes perfect sense that Kim would keep a pic of North at the ready like that, considering this is her first trip abroad without her baby girl.
Mom has also been wearing a gold "Nori" necklace, another way to keep the three-month-old close to her heart.
Kanye actually had a relatively pleasant run-in with the French paparazzi earlier today, telling them to just shoot their video and not ask questions—and when they complied, he complimented them for having "respect for the people that you're photographing."
Another indicator that he's in a much better mood than he was a few days ago: The rapper has also deleted the dozen or so vitriolic tweets he directed at Jimmy Kimmel after the late-night host spoofed the now-infamous part of Kanye's BBC Radio One interview in which he said he came up with the idea for leather jogging pants.
Entertainment practitoners want stronger focus as Nigeria clocks 53
Some entertainment practitioners have called a stronger focus on the development of tourism potential of country’s entertainment industry as the nation marks 53 years of its independence.
Some members of the group in separate interviews in Lagos said that the entertainment industry was a major contributor to the economic development of the nation.
They explained that the major problems of the entertainment industry were piracy, copyright infringements and lack of funds.
A Popular Comedian, AY (Ayo Makun) in his remarks urged the Federal Government to establish a separate Ministry for the entertainment industry.
“The entertainment industry is too big to be under the Federal Ministry of Culture and Tourism.
“Nollywood alone is a big industry and you also have to consider other arms of entertainment like music, comedy and others,” he said.
NIGERIA-AT-53
AY said he had contributed his own quota to the entertainment industry and the growth of the nation through his shows on stage and Television.
“We are also good ambassadors of the country when we take our shows outside the shores of the nation.
“Foreigners respect and appreciate Nigerian arts and we, the citizens, are the ones that have taken the arts to
them,‘’he said.
A Musician, Ade Bantu (Adegoke Odukoya) said that one of the biggest challenges facing the entertainment industry
was piracy and copyright infringements.
“The music industry is hampered by lack of professional managers, lack of good distribution system and lack of
proper record labels which makes life difficult for artistes.
“The government has to do something about these things,’’ Bantu said.
An Actress, Adora Ukoh, was happy about 53 years of a united Nigeria but noted that the country had not made the desired progress.
“Nollywood is the second highest revenue earner for the country and also a big platform to sell the country, especially, through the media.
“It’s time for government to invest more funds in the Nollywood industry,’’ Ukoh said.
She said her numerous films had contributed to entertainment, education and employment of Nigerians.
Another Nollywood Actress, Ebube Nwagbo, said that Nigeria needed to do more to fully achieve its potential.
“We need to put the right people in the right places and the people in power should always have the interest of the
public at heart.
“We, the citizens, should also do what is expected of us. It is not just the leaders,” Nwagbo said.
A Gospel Artiste, Bukola Afolayan, popularly known as Bouqui, urged the government to explore the tourism potential
of music and channel more money toward its development.
“It is a good thing that Nigerians have lived in unity for 53 years but how far has the nation gone?’’ she asked.
“Music is a genuine tourist attraction. Everybody listens to music, so it would be nice if government can earmark
some money for its development,” Afolayan said. (NAN)

Back in police net a year after pardon
However, barely one year after, one of the inmates, Musa Ojo, has beOperatives of Special Anti-Robbery Squad, SARS, Ikeja, said they reportedly arrested Ojo and two others, now at large, on September 14, after they snatched a Toyota Corolla car at gunpoint.
Police sources told Vanguard that SARS men, who were on patrol at the Ijesha end of Oshodi-Apapa Expressway, saw the robbers and chased them.
The sources said: “The suspects jumped out of the vehicle, when the heat became too much, and took to their heels.”
Ojo, was, however, arrested and the vehicle recovered, while the other two escaped.
The suspect admitted to Vanguard that he spent one and a half years in prison before being pardoned along with 232 others by the state Chief Judge.
The suspect said he went back to robbery because he was tempted by his colleagues and undercover agents.
He said: “I dropped out of school in JSS2 and became an apprentice mechanic but I did not complete my training. After sometime, I got a girl pregnant and became a father with responsibilities.
“Unfortunately, my father is dead and my mother is old so I have no one to help me.
“After leaving prison, I started receiving calls from people that they needed vehicles and I was short of money.
“So, I told myself that if I could steal just one car, I would be okay. I did not know that the police had been on my trail from the day I was released.”

And the Barbadian beauty did it once again by posting even more sexy behind-the-scenes stills from her upcoming music video for the single "Pour It Up" on Instagram this morning.
In one, we see the 25-year-old pop star striking a stripper-like pose while sitting on a large golden throne with dollar bills stuffed down her underwear.
In another, she's lying on the floor surrounded by said money scattered all aroud her, which prompted director Judd Apatow to tweet, "@rihanna...is that what you do after a show? While watching gov shutdown on CNN?

.jpg)
The 19-year-old stopped by the historical landmark on Monday and was spotted being carried on his bodyguards' shoulders throughout his visit.
Fans took to Twitter and Instagram to document the "Beauty and the Beat" singer's length stay at the Chinese attraction.
Justin, who was surrounded by a team of about ten men, posed for snapshots, selfies and videos as he walked around the ancient monument. (Yes, guys, he actually walked part of the way!)
The Biebs has been sure to spend some time playing the role of tourist and sightseeing while he's overseas.
He's currently on his Believe world tour, where he's performing on the Asian leg until Oct. 12. Up next for the pop star is the Latin and South America, followed by several dates in Australia at the end of the year.
And despite being a busy Biebs, we're glad he's got plenty of time to see all the things that China has to offer—even if it's with a little help from his team.

Vanilla Ice Get Miley Cyrus' Name Tattooed on His Feet!
"WORD TO YOUR MOTHER !" the rapper and reality star captioned. "LMAO!" It's unclear if Ice's ink is real (though we can't imagine it is).
"He's trying really hard," she said of her pop star peer. "People don't take him seriously, but he really can play the drums, he really can play guitar, he really can sing. I just don't want to see him f-ck that up, to where people think he's Vanilla Ice. I tell him that. Like, 'You don't want to become a joke. When you go out, don't start shit. Don't come in shirtless.' But the thing is, I think boys are, like, seven years behind. So in his head, he's really, like, 12."
If Ice's tattoo is indeed legit, he wouldn't be the first famous person to get inked in Cyrus' honor.
"People get tattoos of the most f--ked-up shit," she said. "Did you know Alec Baldwin has Hannah Montana's initials tattooed on him? No, wait—Stephen Baldwin. He said he was my biggest fan, and I told him my biggest fans have tattoos. So he got ‘hm' tattooed on his shoulder. People do f--ked-up shit."
40 Dead, 100 Missing As Boat Capsize in River Niger
100 others on board were missing in the mishap which occurred at about 2 pm.
The Public Relation Officer, Niger State Emergency Management Agency, Malam Ibrahim Hussaini, confirmed the incident to NAN in a telephone interview on Saturday.
Details were sketchy, but according to him the boat was filled with traders returning from Malili village back to Tunga Illo village across River Niger after the day’s market. It had over 150 passengers and capsized midway to its destination.
The spokesman said that local divers from Malili village had recovered 42 corpses, while about a hundred were still missing. He added that neighboring villages had been alerted to look out for floating corpses and efforts were being intensified to rescue possible survivors or the corpse of those drowned.
He said the recovered corpses would be given mass burial close to the river bank.
The Secretary to the State Government, Alhaji Saidu Ndako, confirmed the boat mishap.
“We believe that the boat was overload because the boat’s capacity was put at 60 passengers, but over 150 passengers were said to be on board during the incident.
“The debris in the swollen river may also have been responsible for the incident,’’ He added.
Ndako said that the government condoled with those who had lost their loved ones, and pray that Allah grant them the fortitude to bear the irreparable loss.

ASUU Strike: Jonathan calls for review of labour laws
President Goodluck Jonathan on Sunday advocated a review of labour laws to curtail the excesses of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) and other labour unions.
The President, who made the call during a Presidential media chat in Abuja, urged the striking members of ASUU to return to work in the interest of their students and the education sector.
The President also said it was inconceivable that lecturers in state-owned universities would go on strike over issues concerning the allowances of lecturers in federal universities.
He said such a situation would not occur if well-guided and well-thought out laws were in place regulating labour union activities.
Jonathan also said that the N79 billion Earned Allowance arrears, which was the major reason for the ASUU strike, was not supposed to be paid from the federation account.
According to the President, earned allowances ought to be paid from the Internally Generated Revenue of the universities, if a good labour law is in place.
Jonathan called on the striking ASUU to reconsider its stand by accepting government offer, and call its members back to the classrooms.
The President reiterated the commitment of his administration to adequately fund the universities and provide the necessary infrastructure to aid the education sector
Jonathan said that the PDP-led administration had done quite well, despite all the odds and challenges
According to him, Nigeria is better off in the past years of the PDP-led government with improved standard of living, building of more federal universities, improved telecommunication, railways and roads.
The President assured that with the commitment of his administration to the privatisation of the power sector, electricity supply would become stable by the end of the first quarter of 2014.

Model Punches Topless Protester During Paris Fashion Week
Things got a bit rowdy at the Nina Ricci fashion show during Paris Fashion Week when model Hollie-May Saker claims she punched a topless protestor who stormed the runway.
The protestor-turned-punching-bag was one of two gutsy gals from the Ukrainian feminist group Femen, who took to the catwalk screaming and flaunting their half-naked bodies covered with the slogans "Model don't go brothel" and "Fashion dictaterror.
Saker had her own words for the feminists, taking to Twitter following the show to express her rage over the incident.
"FEEEEEEUUUUMIN," she wrote. "THAT BITCH RUINED AND HAD HER SAGGY TITS IN MY FACE."
But she had more than insults to fling at the protesters, explaining to media that she took a swipe at one of the runway crashers.
"As she grabbed my arm she lifted my skirt exposing me ," she told the LiverpooI Echo about the protestor. "I pulled my arm back with such force that I landed a punch square on her nose. I was so angry but I knew I had to be professional so I carried on walking with a bit of sassiness."
Indeed, a video of the runway run-in shows the leggy lady showing a bit of attitude as she angrily jerks her hand away from the disruptive Femen member, but we're not so sure Saker actually struck her on the nose—or anywhere else for that matter.
One thing's for sure, she's definitely not afraid to speak her mind.
Another tweet during Paris Fashion Week saw her calling out a few of her fellow models.
"Can't stand some of the other models at shows...You're walking for some of the worlds greatest designers..," she shared. "Crack a smile ungrateful bitch."
How's that for a fashion statement?
I am the Jesus of Nigerian music - Jesse Jagz
The artist, born Jesse Garba Abaga, used to be a member of Chocolate City with his older brother Jude Abaga. He quit the label earlier this year and has since started his own musical endeavour, Jesse Jagz Nation.
The Jos, Plateau State born entertainer who is known for his magic fingers on the turn table says that Nigerian music is "unintelligent" and that "even goats can dance to our music".
Jesse Jagz who is now the undisputed Afrikan Shrine spiritual leader, told HipHop World Magazine that he is his own top artiste in the country.
"My top 3 artistes in Nigeria are me, me, me. No one works harder than me."
"I would love to see a lot of my colleagues step up their game. You don’t need Jesus to tell you that Nigerian music is unintelligent."
"Can Jesse Jagz make Nigeria a better place for Wizkid? Can Wizkid do same too?
"Let adults do better and let kids party. We need to leave something better for the coming generation."
Miss Philippines Megan Young, a US Native, Crowned Miss World in Bali
The 23-year-old U.S. native was named Miss World 2013 on Saturday, Sept. 28, in Bali, Indonesia.
"No words!" Young said after her big win, according to CNN. "Thank you so much for everyone for choosing me. I promise to be the best Miss World ever."
Young looked radiant, donning a pale pink glittery gown, as she received her crown from Miss World 2012, Yu Wenxia.
Miss France, Marine Lorphelin was the first runner-up and Miss Ghana, Carranzar Naa Okailey Shooter, was the second runner-up.
According to her biography on the Miss World website, Young moved to the Philippines when she was 10 years old. The brunette beauty is currently studying digital filmmaking and aspires to be a director. She has appeared onscreen since she was 15 in films, TV shows and as a presenter. In her spare time, she enjoys playing video games and loves Harry Potter.
The competition was not met without controversy, with organizers asking the 127 women competing to trade their two-piece bathing suits in for more conservative attire like sarongs for the beach fashion part of the show.

Rihanna Starts Adelaide Concert 90 Minutes Late, Angers Fans
Rihanna was more than an hour late to her concert in Adelaide, Australia, on Thursday, Sept. 26, and was met by boos instead of cheers when she finally took the stage, according to The Australian.
RiRi did not give the crowd an explanation for her tardiness, but did say that it took her a "long time to get back to Australia."
"Adelaide, what the f--k, I'm finally here," the 25-year-old singer said to her fans. "And I now remember how crazy my Australian fans are," she continued.
The Barbadian singer showed no signs of trouble at the show, tweeting post-performance "#ADELAIDE Thank you so much!!!"
But some fans weren't as forgiving on Twitter.
"@rihanna thanks for a disappointing show last night..as if #Adelaide doesnt suck enough already #igotdressedforthat #late," @TBomb_Moritz said.
"#whilewaitingforrihanna I auditioned for X Factor, won it, became a pop star myself and turned up late to my own concert," @petstarr joked.
Next stop on the Diamonds World Tour: Brisbane on Saturday, Sept. 28. Better show up on time, RiRi!

Kelly Osbourne Defends Miley Cyrus: "If You Don't Like It Then Piss Off!"
"This is something that George from Fashion Police can attest to because he met her for the first time and goes, 'Wow, she's exactly how you would imagine her to be and how she portrays herself to be,'" Osbourne said at British Airways' launch party for its new Airbus A380. "And that's the truth."
"If you don't like it then piss off," Osbourne said, adding, "She's a young woman who is just expressing herself."
That doesn't mean Osbourne likes everything the "Wrecking Ball" popstar does.
"This outfit Lady Gaga wore to the Grammy's three years ago when she came out of an egg," Osbourne said on Fashion Police about the former Hannah Montana's now infamous MTV VMAs performance. "It's not that original but I do appreciate its reminiscent of the 'Blurred Lines' music video. It's just...Miley's my friend and I love her, and I have her back no matter what, but as her friend I'm going to tell her: 'Put your f--king tongue in your mouth. I love you, but just put your tongue in your mouth.'"
Miley Cyrus Doesn’t Like Cocaine, Thinks "Weed Is the Best Drug on Earth"
In her heavily hyped cover story in the Oct. 8 issue of Rolling Stone, the "Wrecking Ball" singer does yet another bang-up job putting her Disney princess past behind her as she dishes candidly about her drug use and reveals how much she enjoys smoking pot.
"I think weed is the best drug on earth. One time I smoked a joint with peyote in it, and I saw a wolf howling at the moon," the 20-year-old Cyrus tells the magazine.
Or perhaps a bunch of oversized stuffed animals à la her infamous VMAs performance?
As for any harder substances she's run across amidst the high-flying, celebrity environs of L.A., the twerk queen confesses she's dabbled in cocaine, but isn't a fan, while also hinting she's tried molly, aka ecstasy.
"Hollywood is a coke town, but weed is so much better. And molly, too. Those are happy drugs—social drugs," she explains. "They make you want to be with friends. You're out in the open. You're not in a bathroom. I really don't like coke. It's so gross and so dark. It's like what are you, from the '90s? Ew."
During the sit-down, Cyrus also sounds off on some weightier subjects, like the civil rights struggle of the 1960s and how times have changed over the last five decades, including the advent of gay marriage.
"When my kids are around, there will be no one on this planet who was alive when there was segregation. Like, my grandma was around when there was real segregation, when there was no intertwining," Cyrus remarks.
She continues: "For her, for someone that was born in the '30s, it's kind of shocking to have a black president. My grandma didn't have a f--king phone even in her house. It was like Gone With the Wind. Calling long distance was like the craziest s--t ever. Now my grandma's like, 'What do you mean you can watch a video on your phone?' It's gonna be the exact same thing with my kids: 'What do you mean gay people couldn't get married?'
And Cyrus also spills on another drug of sorts—her relationship with fame and how much she loves the attention it's brought her ever since her Hannah Montana days.
"I said I was going to take a year off before I made this record. But it's hard to take a break. It's almost depressing when you're not working. You're so used to people calling your name, and that energy, and when you don't have it anymore…That's why I never complain about people wanting autographs or pictures," says the popster. "Because if there were a few days where no one asked, I'd probably be like 'What the f--k's going on? Do people not like me?'"
