If there's one thing Kim Kardashian loves, it's a tight mini-dress. The pregnant reality star ran errands in Encino, Calif., May 30 wearing a Kardashian Kollection for Dorothy Perkins bodycon sheath that retails for $69. Rocking a fishtail braid, the mom-to-be completed her look with a black blazer and flip flops.
"While it's the season for colorful and bright clothing, it's just as chic to wear black and white pieces," Kanye West's baby mama blogged May 24. "There is something so simple and sophisticated about the combination. In the evening or even during the day, these colors will always work and look good on any figure!"
During her first two trimesters, the 32-year-old TV star had a tough time embracing her new curves. "I struggle to find things that don't make me look heavy," she blogged March 1. "Some days, my baby bump really shows, and some days it doesn't . . . so I never really know what I'm going to look like."
Though her body has often been bullied online -- one internet meme equated Kardashian's Cedrice Charlier dress to Shamu -- the entrepreneurial California girl has learned to ignore her critics. In fact, her mom Kris Jenner says she's feeling more feminine than ever. "She's just embracing this whole thing," the matriarch tells Us Weekly in its May 20 issue. "It just makes me very proud. She's happier than she's ever been."
Plastic surgery or makeup artistry? Arrested Development fans aren't twittering and Facebooking about the latest plot points in the new season of the kooky cult hit, now on Netflix. They're debating whether Portia de Rossi, who stars as vain, materialistic, self-absorbed (but lovable!) Lindsay Bluth-Funke, has gone under the knife to look younger.
Online commenters are speculating about whether the 40-year-old actress has had rhinoplasty, a brow lift, filler injections, and Botox. And one website even asked plastic surgeons to weigh in. (Their conclusion? Yes.)
But website Jezebel has another theory: "Lindsay's plastic surgery is something that's been repeatedly referenced on AD -- it's easy to imagine she'd get work done in the seven years since the show's final Fox season, and It's just the kind of subtle joke [creator] Mitch Hurwitz and co. would let go unmentioned."

See the photos of de Rossi (at top) in character from season 1 and the current season. Check out the photo above of the actress on the red carpet, from just a week ago, on May 23. And tell Us: Do you think Portia de Rossi had plastic surgery? Or do you think her character was just made up to look like she had work done?
Marriage is not out of the question for Adam Levine just yet. In a new interview on Oprah's Next Chapter that airs Sunday, June 2, the Maroon 5 frontman opened up about his rockstar lifestyle and his plans to settle down.
Joined by his fellow Voice mentor and friend, Blake Shelton, the 33-year old revealed that marriage is on his radar -- especially while seeing how successful Shelton's two-year marriage is to his singer wife, Miranda Lambert.
"Hearing Blake talk about [marriage], it's great," he explained. "I'm a fan of marriage. People think that I keep pooh-poohing marriage, but I love it."
In fact, the "Love Somebody" singer says he hopes to tie the knot in the future.
"I want to probably be married at some point," he said, noting that he's not in a big rush.
He continued, "I don't feel pressure to get married. I think that when it's time, it's going to be obvious and I'm going to do it and I'm going to really enjoy it."
Linked to a slew of models in the past, Levine's comments come just after Us Weekly exclusively revealed that he's indeed dating another beauty, 21-year-old supermodel Nina Agdal. But sources tells Us that it's not serious…yet.
"It's still new," a source explained.
Before Agdal, the singer dated Victoria's Secret Angel Behati Prinsloo since May 2012. Before that, he was in a two-year relationship with yet another Victoria's Secret stunner, Anne Vyalitsyna. They split in April 2012.
Levine's new thoughts on marriage reveal a slight change of heart for the singer, who revealed he was cautious about marriage in a April 2013 interview with Nylon Guys.
"If you don't get married, you can't get divorced," he said. "Why couldn't we learn from the devastatingly low percentage of successful marriages that our last generation went through?"
Step aside, Eva Longoria. Rosario Dawsonis officially in the lead for the latest Cannes wardrobe malfunction.
The Sin City star attended the As I Lay Dyingpremiere at the 66th Annual Cannes Film Festival Monday, where she inadvertently made quite the impression in her sparkly beaded gown.
Strutting down the red staircase, the 34-year-old star accidentally flashed her underwear-covered crotch, completely unaware that herextremely thigh-high slit had slightly shifted, and of course, the shutterbugs were present to snap the wardrobe snafu.

With the exception of the revealing moment, Dawson stunned in her white Elle Saab gown, which also featured a plunging neckline (luckily, that part stayed put!) in addition to the daring slit.
The gorgeous star recently bared it all onscreen for her Danny Boyle-directed flick The Trance.
Perhaps this is a bit of enticement to go see the film? (We kid, of course!)
Britney Spears' sexy Shape cover is literally beyond comprehension.
Either because of its extreme hotness ... or extreme photoshopping.
Some readers began crying foul moments after it was released, insisting that the ultra-svelte body on the Britney Spears Shape cover can't possibly be hers.
Oh, but it can. See below:
While her skin was definitely smoothed out and airbrushed, that's pretty standard for any magazine cover. Those curves look like vintage Britney.
And in any case, the point of the cover story is her new regimen of Nutrisystem, dieting, yoga and crazy rehearsals for her upcoming Vegas residency.
"I'm doing 90 minutes of yoga twice a week in addition to a lot of cardio ... hour-long sessions three times a week with my trainer," she tells the magazine.
That's the kind of intense workout and diet program that'll really help you lose weight and get into the best Shape of your life ... so take that, haters.
All season long, the "American Idol" producers have been touting this as a "girl's season," but in the end, two women -- two very talented women -- gave their hearts out for the title.
Finalists Kree Harrison and Candice Glover each did three songs Wednesday night -- a song "Idol" honcho Simon Fuller selected, the single they would release as the winner, and their favorite past performance of the season.
Each round is recapped below, followed by a winner's prediction:
Round 1: Simon Fuller's selection
The show got off to a slow start. Simon picked Sarah McLachlan's "Angel" for Kree, a sedate, melodically simple song. And while she sang it beautifully, there was very little she could do with it. Before Randy Jackson said it, I wrote down "sleepy." Simon did Kree absolutely no favors by picking this song.
Candice sang a more contemporary song -- Adele's "Chasing Pavements." Candice included her trademark runs, perhaps a few too many for my taste -- but she actually did something with (yet another bad) song choice. If these were the best selections the "Idol" boss could come up for the opening round, no wonder the show is in trouble.
Winner this round: Candice (though both deserved better songs)
Round 2: Winner's single
I really really liked Kree's single, called "All Cried Out." It was county, it was confessional, it was Kree. She audibly strained in some spots, but not badly. Since day 1, I've noted Kree's mature sophistication; Taylor Swift or Lauren Alaina wouldn't be able to pull this off genuinely. What I hoped for from her -- and something I've criticized her all season long about -- was a little more showmanship, especially after the snoozy first song.
Winner this round: Candice (though both deserved better songs)
Round 2: Winner's single
I really really liked Kree's single, called "All Cried Out." It was county, it was confessional, it was Kree. She audibly strained in some spots, but not badly. Since day 1, I've noted Kree's mature sophistication; Taylor Swift or Lauren Alaina wouldn't be able to pull this off genuinely. What I hoped for from her -- and something I've criticized her all season long about -- was a little more showmanship, especially after the snoozy first song.
Candice's song, "I Am Beautiful," is everything a winner's coronation song should be: uplifting, positive, and powerful. Candice really seemed to connect with the lyrics and performance, too. The song was a bit generic, but she made it special. As the fireworks flashed on the screens behind her, I wondered if the producers all but handed the title to Candice on a silver platter.
Winner of Round 2: Candice
Round 3: Favorite past performance
Kree needed to pull out all the stops in the final round, and she did. She brought the fire in a red dress and impassioned performance to "Up To The Mountain." The vocal was near flawless, and brought the audience to it's feet. Had she sung like this all evening, it would've been showstopping.
Even before Candice sang her first note (acapella, amazingly), I knew she would reprise "I Who Have Nothing." The song served the last female "Idol" winner -- Jordin Sparks -- well, and I knew Candice would seal the deal with her performance. It was dramatic, daring and a little diva.
Winner of round 3: Candice (though Kree puts up a great fight)
So who should win and who will win? The answer to both is Candice.
To quote outgoing judge Randy one last time, Candice has been "in it to win it" since the beginning, consistently taking risks and delivering great performances. It's hard to believe that she unsuccessfully tried out twice before, but the third time will be the charm.
Kree has the strong Southern/country voting bloc, but hasn't delivered time after time like Candice. Regardless, Kree will have a successful career after this.
One final note. It's wonderful to see two real-sized women with beautiful voices, personalities and looks in the final two. They've acted admirably and authentically all season -- and that's a true "Idol.
