Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Music, Television, Dating, Rivalries, Rumors,

Rihanna and Kanye WestKim Kardashian banned Rihanna from Kanye West's dressing room during his recent London concerts.

The reality TV starlet doesn't want her 34-year-old boyfriend hanging out with other women on his own and with Rihanna's flirtatious reputation, she wasn't taking any chances when she wasn't at The O2 arena for his Watch the Throne tour shows with Jay-Z.

Kim is believed to have not been a fan of the "You Da One" singer since she was romantically linked to her brother Rob Kardashian several months ago. "Kim doesn't want women near him unless she is there - even friends. The fact Rihanna was linked to Rob probably didn't help," a source said.

However, it's not just Rihanna that Kim, 31, is jealous of. She is also said to have ordered him to leave a party in London last week after he spent too much time with other revellers instead of her. "Kim was all over Kanye at the start, but when he started to mix with other people she had a stern word and took him away from the party. He followed her orders with minimum fuss. He knows the deal," a source said.

I mean there are a lot of territories that are really big for me and Asia is very exciting. I'm just scratching the surface at the moment. I want take baby steps with this business; I don't want to run before I can walk."

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Fashion Designers, News,

Oscar de la RentaOscar de La Renta is taking over Nicky Clarke's Mount Street premises to open his first London store.

The New York-based designer will take over the retail space next to Roland Mouret and Jenny Packham's stores, and just opposite the Connaught Hotel, which the hairdresser has occupied for more than 20 years, in a deal said to be worth more than $800,000.

"The rent was due to go up, as it does everywhere. But we felt this was a good time to move - we are relaunching ourselves. Sometimes a brand needs to move to be fresh. If we weren't happy we wouldn't have moved and stayed with the same landlord. We have come to an amicable, compatible agreement. Grosvenor [the landlord] has made the move painless but there certainly wasn't any bribe," Nicky's former wife and business partner Lesley Clarke told London's Evening Standard newspaper.

Oscar, who was born in the Dominican Republic, is rumored to be paying close to $1.6 million for the lease.

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Movies, Rumors,

Brad Pitt and Angelina JolieBrad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are planning to move to England for two years. The couple - who lived in the London suburb of Richmond last year while Brad shot World War Z - want to return to the pretty town while Angelina shoots three England-based movies back-to-back.

Filming starts on drama Maleficent next month, then the mother-of-six will join Brad in Ridley Scott's The Counselor before working on a Danny Boyle movie.

"They loved it when they were in the UK last year. They like the culture and are happy for their children to receive schooling here. They think Richmond is a beautiful part of the world. Angelina starts work on her next film, Maleficent, in about three weeks so Brad will look after their brood over summer as he won't start work on the Ridley Scott film until September," a source said.

But with such a hectic work schedule line up, the loved-up pair - who announced their engagement on Friday - still haven't decided when to tie the knot. "No date has been set yet but they'll probably go back to their home in France to get married," the insider said, talking to The Sun.
