There have been rumors floating around that North West has a stylist because her fashion is literally always on point. Turns out, the super fashionable toddler doesn't have a stylist, but she doesn't even need one because she's got a killer sense of style all on her own.

"She's really particular about what she likes to wear, she's such a girlie girl," Kim Kardashian revealed in a new interview with Vogue. "Every day she wakes up and says 'shoes.' You have to bargain with her-before you change her diaper she needs a pair of shoes on."

Hey, if we had North's shoe collection, we'd want to flaunt that footwear, too!

Kim also said that North loves handbags, adding that she basically loves "anything where there's a little bit of glitz," although even a blinged-out headband might not go over too well with Nori. "She hasn't been the biggest fan of keeping something on her head," Kim confesses.

Hopefully the mini fashionista approves of the new collection her mom created for Kardashian Kids, which launches on Nordstrom.com on April 13. If we're lucky, maybe we'll even get to see her modeling some of the clothes!

School Sends Girl Home for Inappropriate Outfit, Even Though She's Fully Covered

We were completely shocked that this girl got sent home from school for wearing this outfit. In fact, we struggled to figure out what exactly was even wrong with what she was wearing. We've heard of kids violating school dress codes with skimpy clothing, but never have seen someone sent home for wearing so much.

Erica Edgerly posted a pic to Facebook showing what her sister Macy, a senior honor student at Orangefield High School, was sent home from school for wearing.

She explained: "I'm sorry but I have to stand up for my family and for women who are degraded and judged for their bodies and clothing everyday. People wonder why women feel insecure about their bodies or what they wear.. And it's because you're told your clothing is inappropriate when you're completely fully clothed, even when you're not showing cleavage or anything."

Erica continued: "How about instead of body shaming women, school systems should start teaching 15-18 year old boys to stop degrading women with their eyes and contributing to the rape culture of today's society. Bottom line, girls cannot go to school in comfortable clothes THAT COVER EVERYTHING because school systems are afraid that hormonal boys won't be able to control their eyes and minds. And that is such a bigger problem than worrying about clothing."

She later reposted the image and explained the school's policy on skirt length (applied here to her sister's oversized shirt paired with leggings): "The rule is they are allowed as long as it is fingertip length. The front and back of her shirt were that length.. But the small part on the sides was not."

The picture of Erica's picture has since gone viral, with many people weighing in on how ridiculous it was to send her sister home.

Wait, is Taylor Swift not dating Calvin Harris after all? That's what everyone was wondering earlier this week when Irish news outlet RTE sent someone to America to talk to Irish soccer player Sean St. Ledger about playing in MLS, and he said some interesting things about our girl Tay.

"St Ledger was coyer, however, when asked if he and pop star Taylor Swift were going out," the article reads. "Eh, that'd be an exclusive for RTÉ, wouldn't it. I'm sitting on the fence...she's not been to a game, as of yet. I'm thinking that she might come to one of the New York ones. We'll see," he replied when asked about the pic he posted of T-Swift on social media a few months ago.

Apparently back on January 1st, he posted a picture of himself hanging out with Tay. No one really thought anything of it, it only got a few hundred retweets. So imagine the surprise when everyone read this latest interview, quoting him to basically saying he's got a chance to date Taylor. Huh? Since when? What about Calvin?

What the interview failed to mention was how Sean added something about Taylor dating Cal, too. "I think the guys @SoccRepublic cut out an important part of that interview where I said that I think miss swift is seeing a certain dj!," Sean posted on Twitter shortly after the rumors started to swirl.

It's safe to say Tay's still with Calvin. But, if we see her at a MLS game anytime soon...you never know. After all, this is Taylor's world...we're just living in it.

Again? Miley Cyrus' boyfriend Patrick Schwarzenegger was just spotted with another hot girl, and this time it wasn't Miley or that infamous ex of his that he was hanging with. Pat was recently seen grabbing a bite to eat with actress Bella Thorne. What the...?

According to several pics posted online, Patrick and Bella went to the Mud Hen Tavern in Los Angeles Wednesday night. There was no PDA or anything, so don't worry.

After their time together, Bella made it quite clear that they're just friends, too. She posted a photo of their dinner date and captioned it, "With my homie @patrickschwarzenegger if you aren't already following him you should :)) disclaimer *** we are just friends :)"

Got it. But that still can't stop us from wondering...Patrick SURE does have a lot of female friends. Isn't there a Dave Matthews quote out there that says a girl and a guy can't be "just friends"? We kind of agree with him on that one.

Anyway, we guess we'll let Patrick slide this time. But seriously dude, if you're trying to make nice with your boo and her fans, don't go out with ANY girl except her. For a long time. For reals.

What do you think about Bella and Patrick's date? Innocent or nah?

No more dip-dyed tips, Kylie Jenner is now rocking a full head of bright blue hair...and bright blue nails to match, but those aren't nearly as exciting as the hair!

The reality star debuted her bold new color on Instagram with the caption "the road trip begins..." and posted a similar pic on Snapchat where we were able to get a better view of her 'do.

Given that she's wearing a hat in both photos, we can't help but wonder if it's a wig, although Kylie has never shied away from experimenting with her hair in the past, so who knows.

She didn't say where she's headed on her road trip, but Coachella starts tomorrow and since Kendall and Kylie attended the music festival last year, our best guess is that she's headed there.

Either way, we're feelin' that hair. Do you guys think Kylie was inspired by Hilary Duff's "mermaid" hair (below) or do you think it's just color coincidence?

Are you sure you aren't dating, Justin Bieber and Kendall Jenner? Because it suuuure does look like it.

While everyone has shut down those hooking up rumors between the Biebs and Kardashian sister, Justin's latest Instagram picture doesn't say the same. He just put up a sexy photo of him snuggling with the model, and it looks way more than "just friends" to us.

A photo posted by Justin Bieber (@justinbieber) on Apr 9, 2015 at 6:55pm PDT

That's what his Insta followers seem to think, too. There has been talk for awhile now that these two have been secretly dating. Remember all of that drama between her and Selena Gomez? Exaaaactly...It all makes sense now.

All of this comes after someone hacked Kendall's Twitter account a few days ago, posting nasty things about the Biebs on her page. That person seemed to think they're hooking up, too.

What do you guys think all of this means? Justin's known to confirm his dating status via Instagram...That is so not what this is, right?

Need to feel that warm, fuzzy feeling? Well, there's Ed Sheeran for that. The ginger singer just totally made us smile after finding out he recently visited kids at an elementary school, and took a selfie with EVERY child there.

Ed stopped by The Redcliffs School in Australia earlier this week after they won a competition to have him come and do his thing at the school. From the looks of the pics, they all had an awesome time.

To win the visit, The school changed their name to Edcliffs School for two whole weeks. They reportedly created an entire news bulletin.

Ed sang his hits 'Thinking Out Loud' and 'I See Fire' for the students, before taking part in a Q&A sesh with the kids. The best part is that he took time to take a picture with every single child there. Does it get any better than him? Seriously.

Spent the afternoon singing with primary school kids. My face hurts from smiling, so much fun

Soon, you may not have to leave home to run for the border.

Taco Bell is considering testing out a delivery service some time this year, which would bring the fast food restaurant's nachos supreme, gorditas and tacos straight to your door. "We are positioning ourselves for clock-less eating," CEO Brian Niccol said, according to USA Today. "Technology is changing the way people interact with restaurants and retail."

They're appealing to Millennials, he said, "who want access to anything they want, when they want." Although the CEO didn't elaborate on when or where they'll try out the delivery service first if the plan goes through, he did say the push for delivery from customers has been ongoing, adding that "Delivery is the No. 1 Taco Bell topic on Twitter on the weekends."
That's not the only thing the company has in the works. They also want to launch a new loyalty program and reward repeat customers, are testing out a catering program and an online ordering program too, according to Daily Finance.

Before Taco Bell's announcement, Starbucks also announced last month that it would test out a delivery service in New York and Seattle. Although Taco Bell is still working out the logistics of its own delivery service, we're crossing our fingers that they launch it, and also that the idea catches on.

Kylie Jenner may be a major celebrity, but she's just like any other teenager in a lot of ways, including not always being able to squeeze her mom into her busy social schedule.

In this sneak peek from this week's Keeping Up With The Kardashians, Kris Jenner says she's heartbroken over the fact that it's been two weeks since she's had a good conversation with Kylie. Given that Kylie still lived with her at the time, that does seem like quite awhile.

So, Kris comes up with a plan to get some quality time with Kylie - whether Kylie wants it or not! Of course, Kylie isn't thrilled when Kris lays out the plan for her, telling her that she's going to her mom's house and that Ky is coming with her.

"I want to take her some place close so that we can have a little road trip...it eliminates all the distractions so we can get back to normal," Kris tells the camera.

Unfortunately, what Kris defines as "close" is still a two-hour drive that Kylie is not excited about and that's when Kris lays down the law. "I'm your mom and I'm telling you now that I want you to go with me to San Diego and you don't have a choice," she tells her. "So pack your bags, we're gonna leave tomorrow. Be ready at 10."

Well, that's the end of that discussion!

While One Direction fans are really trying to piece together why Zayn Malik quit the band (For his health and sanity? For Perrie Edwards? For a solo career?), there have been a number of conspiracy theories about the fallout as well.

One fan video making the rounds does a pretty great job at explaining why Zayn's departure may have all been a publicity stunt.

YouTube user Queen V explains: "I believe this whole event was planned for the sake of the band's attempt to rebrand and boost publicity. Let's have the conversation."

While she admits she might sound crazy, Queen V does have some solid ideas about the whole shakeout. First up, she talks about the On The Road Again tour not doing that well and how 1D's management felt that creating a scandal was their best approach to increase interest in the band.

She also points to Zayn and Naughty Boy (and Simon Cowell) striking up a relationship and their cryptic tweets last year. She brings up the 1D guys' relationships making headlines and Simon's comment about it being okay that the guys take on side projects.

This fan notes all the headlines and attention that Zayn's cheating scandal got, plus the pics following his departure from the band (of him at the recording studio, him and Perrie house hunting, hanging out with family). And then there was the whole Naughty Boy and Louis Tomlinson Twitter feud and Naughty Boy dropping Zayn's demo, "I Won't Mind." Was it all a set up?

See what Queen V thinks is ahead for One Direction and how this was all a way of re-branding their image.

We love it when Madonna doesn't take herself too seriously. Watch Madonna and Jimmy Fallon sing her hit song "Holiday" with classroom instruments, as they jam out with The Roots. We only wish she wore a shirt to match Jimmy and the guys.

Madonna also surprised fans when she took the stage as a stand-up comedian on the Tonight Show! Who knew Madge had it in her? She did preface her stand-up act by saying, "Will you guys laugh if my jokes suck?" She wasn't half bad, either.

She decided to "talk about what you know," which included dating younger men and her expensive art collection. You know...totally relatable.

Later, Madonna tweeted: "Had so much fun with Jimmy Fallon! He's a boss!! #bitchimmadonna #rebelheart @Moschino"

She added, "Too much fun on Jimmy Fallon!thank you everyone!!!! ‪#bitchimmadonna #rebelheart"

If you thought the Kardashian clan had snagged all the possible names beginning with K in the book, think again. Kim is currently visiting her native Armenia with her sister Khloe and shared a photo of herself, Khloe and their similarly named cousins meeting Hovik Abrahamyan, the Prime Minister of Armenia.

"Khloe and I brought along our cousins Kourtni & Kara Kardashian. We miss you Krista!" Kim captioned the shot of the cousins during the big government meeting, explaining her cousins all share the name first initial.

Yes we have 3 cousins who are sisters that all start with a K too! LOL

- Kim Kardashian West (@KimKardashian) April 10, 2015

The Kardashians' visit to Armenia is to bring awareness to the 100 year anniversary of the Armenian genocide that happened on April 24 and is still disputed by Turkey. Kanye West and North West are also in Armenia for the important trip.

Kim shared a family photo of the trio doing some sightseeing, captioning it "Blessed."

Ed Sheeran has given his thoughts on Zayn Malik's decision to leave One Direction before, lending his full support in the name of happiness. Turns out, Ed thinks that Zayn would have more fun staying in One Direction though.

During a recent interview on the Dan & Maz Show in Australia after the 1D news broke, Ed said he heard that Zayn was quitting through his tour manager, but not from the guys directly, adding, "Well he's left a bunch of times so it's not really...," adding that "there's been in the press he's kind of gone back and forth."

When the interviewers set him straight that this time it's a done deal, Ed commented, "Fair play to him, let him be happy. If he's not happy then like..."

The interviewers also brought up that Zayn's reason behind leaving was to live a "normal" life, noting it would be a challenge to "be normal after being in One Direction." Ed agreed, saying, "Yeah, but also being a normal 22-year-old is pretty boring...all I'm saying is being a normal 22-year-old is probably not as fun as being in One Direction. Just saying."

Still, Ed believes Zayn didn't make a bad decision, explaining, "he hasn't, but if he's left just to be normal, it's not gonna be as fun."

You'll get no arguments from us.

From what we saw on Instagram, we thought everything was cool with Khloe Kardashian, her BFF Malika Haqq and her on-again, off-again boyfriend French Montana. Because as we all know, if we're dating someone, they'd better get along with our BFF otherwise it simply won't work.

So, they seemed to have all of that figured out - from what it looked like - and maybe they did when Khlo and French were "on," but now that they're "off" or kind of in this in between phase, Malika just wants Khloe to move on.

In this sneak peek from this week's Keeping Up With The Kardashians, French comes over to sit at the table with Khloe and Malika and Malika is not having it.

French tries to change Malika's mind, but she's sticking to her guns. "When you break up with someone, you do not hang out with them," she tells Khloe after her convo with French.

"It's ridiculous that she wants me to just cut French out of my life completely," Khloe confesses to the camera. "That's just not my style."

What do you guys think, should Khloe stay friends with French or do you agree with Malika?

We all sang along to JoJo's hits "Leave (Get Out)" and "Baby It's You," but that was back in 2004, way before Twitter and Instagram (how did we survive?!), so it wasn't as easy to keep up with our favorite superstars back then.

Now, 11 years later, JoJo is still out there and she's not the 13-year-old girl we met back in 2004, although that girl was pretty awesome, too.

Just in case you don't remember anything from the days before social media, here is a throwback pic JoJo shared of herself on Instagram.

And while it's always fun to see then and now photos of someone, there is even better news with this one. In March of last year, the singer told ABCnews.com that she was ready to start working on some new music.

"I want to continue putting out content" she told them. "I don't know whether it'll be in the form of a mixtape or just a few one-off songs, but I just think content is content. So, I just want to keep releasing stuff and kind of having it all lend itself to my world that I'm creating."

Judging by this recent pic, it looks like she's working hard to make that happen...

Nick Jonas has been asked about dating Miley Cyrus more times than we can count, but we've never seen him have this kind of reaction before. Watch the moment when Nick pulls the funniest face ever when the interviewer isn't quite clear if they were a couple or not back in the day.

His expression says it all, really. During an appearance on ITV's Lorraine show, Nick was asked about making that jump from kid celeb to legit adult artist. The interviewer says: "You look at Miley Cyrus, of course. I think you dated her at one stage and you were all in the Disney bubble together..."

Then, he made the most amazing faces, saying, "Yeah me too, I've heard that as well." Too funny.

Nick explained, "I think that I've come into my own as a man and with that I'm now more comfortable with pursuing the image I want to pursue and curating something that is relevant to me as a 22-year-old guy."

Nick also appears in the new British GQ and had a gab about the Jonas Brothers, saying, "I still talk to my brothers a few times a week but that chapter of our lives is closed. Now it's all about reinventing myself."

He also explained: "Maybe I'm selfish to want to both act and sing because I am very aware that not a lot of performers have that chance. But what I love about acting is the challenge. Music comes pretty easy for me but I have to work very hard on the acting side."

Avril Lavigne was looking for the silver lining and she found it!

Back in December, after #GetWellSoonAvril and #PrayforAvril started trending on Twitter, it was reported that the singer was suffering from an undisclosed health issue. In an exclusive interview with People earlier this month, Avril finally revealed that she had been battling Lyme disease. "I felt like I couldn't breathe, I couldn't talk and I couldn't move," she told them. "I thought I was dying."

So, what good could have possibly come out of such a painful and excruciating struggle? ...It forced her to rest.

"I haven't stopped working since I was 15," she said in a new interview with Billboard. "Just to have this downtime, this time spent with my family, has been really good for me just to take a step back and look at my life, and really get to see who in my life is really there for me when I need them."

The disease, which took so much from her- leaving her bedridden for five months, also gave her time to reflect. "I've had a lot of time to just think, and I've never been so clear before, or as close to my family," she continues. "So there's been a lot of good that has come out of it. And moving forward, I'm really clear on what I want in life."

Avril is feeling "pretty good" these days and she's hoping that sharing her story will help educate people about the disease, saying she feels like she has a responsibility to raise awareness. "I need to talk about Lyme disease, because it's real, it's out there, it was a simple bug bite and it could happen to anybody," she told Billboard. "People need to know about it, because it's not talked about that much and a lot of the information that's out there is inaccurate."

We feel so bad for Avril and what she went through, but we love the fact that she's opening up about her experience with the hope that it will help others.

If you follow Kim, Kourtney or Khloe Kardashian on Instagram, you know all about the 'new' celebrity waist training craze, which really isn't 'new' at all...

Corsets have actually been around since the 16th century and some experts have even spoken out about the potential dangers of wearing one. Dr. Oz recently did this segment where he shared his perspective on what corsets can potentially do to the inside of your body.

Anyway, a lot of celebrities have jumped on the waist training bandwagon and while it looks too painful for us to even attempt (not that we'd want to because we like the way we look, thanks), Cosmopolitan got these guys to give it a try.

"This is honestly a form of torture I think they used in the middle ages," one unlucky participant notes as the corset is being tightened around his midsection. "Is it supposed to make it harder to breathe," one concerned guy asks.

But the Kardashians make it look so easy...

1. It Helps No One
You may think that you're defending your celeb idol or the cute kid in your class or the sports team that you love, but in reality, you're not defending or saving anyone. In fact, I can almost guarantee that they don't appreciate the help. Don't believe me, ask them.

2. It Doesn't Make You More Important
That temporary feeling of power that you get because people from all over the world are reading what YOU wrote, that feeling that you are somehow a part of something bigger as you throw out words filled hate, ignorance, and intolerance...that is an illusion that fades as quickly as sunset. And for those of you who think that the celebrity, political figure, or writer that you are shaming is "too famous" and probably won't ever see your words let alone be hurt by them...think again . Despite what you may think, fame or notoriety DOES NOT equal blindness.

3. You and the Social Media Profile That You Create Are One and the Same
It is NOT OK to bully or tease or threaten a life as a joke or otherwise online, and then go about your daily life as a daughter, son, father, mother, husband, or wife as if nothing has happened. You are not 2 different people, and you are accountable for everything that you say, especially to or about another human being on the Internet. Rule of thumb: if you wouldn't say it to the world in a presidential address or as a part of your Oscar acceptance speech or even to the children in your lives, don't post it online. Just DON'T.

4. Stating an Opinion and Bullying Are Not the Same Thing
The first is just expressing your view of the world, your personal perspective (something that social media was, one could argue, created for). The second is directly and purposefully harming another human being without cause or justice. It's shameful. Saying "I'm just sayin" or "I can say what I want" or even "it's freedom of speech" doesn't make it less ignorant or pitiful, and it DEFINITELY doesn't make it OK.

5. We Are Better Than this
Our lives, however big or small we think they are,....they matter. OTHER HUMAN BEINGS MATTER. Celebrities (and not just the ones you love and are following on Twitter, Vine, YouTube, and Snapchat)...they matter. That little girl or boy who you told to "kill yourself" in a moment of twisted humor on the Internet before high-fiving your friends. HE MATTERS. SHE MATTERS. People with different political beliefs, religious backgrounds, and social classes? THEY MATTER. They matter because they have hearts and minds and souls and purpose and the capacity and ability to love others without abandon...just..like...YOU.

So don't waste it. Stop cyber bullying, in any and all forms, today.

If you or someone you know has experienced cyber bullying and needs help, or you just want more information about what you can do to stop it, visit http://www.cybersmile.org/.

And they said it wouldn't last! Despite some bumps in the road (or should we say the elevator?), Beyonce and Jay Z have been married for 7 years, so the couple is celebrating accordingly with a romantic getaway in Hawaii.

The power pair got hitched on April 4, 2008 and Jay Z shared some personal footage from their nuptials on his Instagram this week. But this isn't the first time we've gotten a glimpse at the private duo's vows. During their "On the Run" tour stop in Miami, scenes from their wedding also played out on the big screen as they performed.

While spending some quality time together at the Four Seasons on the Big Island, Bey and Jay were approached by two pint sized fans. And not only did they get a photo with the two megastars, but they also got some advice!

Bey reportedly told 9-year-old Brielle not to be nervous during her solo performance at the school talent show and to stay focused and she got a high five from Jay Z.

We're so happy Hov and Bey are still "Drunk in Love"...and inspiring a younger generation of future entertainers!
