Kim Kardashian jets to Paris without North West
Kim Kardashian and Kanye West are enjoying a romantic break in Paris without their daughter.
The couple, who welcomed their first child, North West, into the world in June, touched down in the French capital on Saturday (28.09.13) for Paris Fashion Week.
The reality TV star, 32, and her rapper boyfriend took a private jet from Los Angeles' Van Nuys Airport to San Francisco, California, on Friday morning (27.09.13), where they then transferred to a commercial flight, according to gossip website TMZ.com.
Their four-month-old daughter was nowhere in sight as they made their way through SFO airport with a small entourage.
An insider also told UsMagazine.com: 'Kim was sad to say goodbye. This is the first time she's been away from the baby.'
Kim was spotted applying for North's first passport last month but she has yet to take the tot out of the USA.
A source revealed that the couple opted to fly out of San Francisco as Kanye, 36, has been advised to avoid the paparazzi at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) by his lawyers.
The 'New Slaves' hitmaker is being sued by a photographer for criminal battery and his team do not want him to get into another confrontation with snappers.
Prosecutors are allegedly gathering evidence from four other incidents in a bid to prove that Kanye's first instinct is to attack when he sees a photographer.

3 Surprisingly Affordable Stores Where All The Celebrities Are Shopping
They’ve teamed up with the dopeness that is Azealia Banks, and they’re frequented by everyone from Michelle Obama to Vanessa Hudgens, to Kourtney Kardashian. ASOS is seriously the one-stop-shop for just about everything. The tops, the dresses, hell -- even their maternity wear is off the hook. While they do carry some high-end brands, you’d be shocked at how much cuteness you can find for under thirty bucks. #WINNING
Topshop
If it’s good enough for Beyoncé and Rihanna, it’s good enough for you! The British retailer is having a huge sale right now, and there’s a good chance that you can get yourself something fabulous, and still pay your cell phone bill. They’re a little pricier than ASOS, and cater to a slightly more sophisticated fashionista, but Topshop still offers a variety of styles for a good price. They’ve also got a pretty awesome beauty department to get you the total look.
ModCloth
This vintage-inspired online retailer has so much adorable stuff, it’s almost overwhelming. A favorite of bloggers, Taylor Swift, and fashionistas alike, ModCloth is a must-visit site if you’re into super-cute contemporary dresses with a 60s flare. They also have a brilliant system for customer reviews, where folks who recently purchased the item can upload photos of themselves wearing it. This is awesome because—let’s face it—it never quite looks the same as it does on the model, right?

Kate Upton dating Maksim Chmerkovskiy?
Los Angeles: Model Kate Upton has sparked dating rumors with dancer Maksim Chmerkovskiy after the duo were spotted walking hand in hand.
The 21-year-old model and Chmerkovskiy, 33, were pictured looking relaxed and happy while strolling down the street in New York City`s West Village
neighborhood, reported E! Online.Earlier in July, the duo were spotted in NYC going on a dinner date together after an event.
"The two did not want to be photographed together and did the best they could to avoid the cameras. They left the event around midnight and went to Catch sushi bar, that turns into a club. The two partied until the early hours," a source said.
Chmerkovskiy shot to fame by being one of the professional dancers on the American television series `Dancing with the Stars`.
Upton has previously been linked with Blake Griffin, Mark Sanchez and Justin Verlander.
The Garden State has a lot to explain after Melissa Gorga of Real Housewives of New Jersey released a marriage advice book titled Love Italian Style. Her advice can easily be reduced to one word: SEX. Normally sex itself would be a problem, but just how Melissa's husband Joe Gorga gets it is where the controversy lies.
Despite Melissa sometimes feeling "exhausted" or "not really in the mood," she just can't seem to say "no" to her husband. If she does, well...here's what Joe thinks what "no" really means:
"Men, I know you think your woman isn't the type who wants to be taken. But trust me, she is. Every girl wants to get her hair pulled once in awhile. If your wife says "no," turn her around, and rip her clothes off. She wants to be dominated.Women don't realize how easy men are. Just give us what we want."
Not convinced that sounded a bit rapey? Well, here's a passage that essentially tells women to submit and become sex slaves for their husbands.
"[A] woman needs to keep herself in shape. She has to be seductive. She must be willing to try new things for her husband's pleasure and her own. And, most important, she has to be available for sex.
There's real passionate sex and maintenance sex. You need them both for a healthy marriage. Maintenance sex keeps the wheels greased, the lines of communication open, and the fights to a minimum."
Sex keeps "lines of communication open?" Well, Joe's Neanderthal brow does clearly indicate he is probably most expressive in an act of carnal fornication.
Occasionally, Joe does manage to squeeze enough power out of his prehistoric brain to chime in with more of his misogynistic gems. Here's an example of the man's attempt to mask his profound insecurities (which basically echoes what Pat Robertson said months ago):
"Refusing to initiate is a Top Three reason men cheat. The ugliest girl in the world could come on to a man in that state of mind, and he might have to go for it. He thinks, At least someone wants me."
It's fairly clear that Melissa is in an abusive relationship. Here's a snippet that clearly shows she's just a punching bag for Joe's insecurities.
"If he gets one ounce of flack from me, he flips a switch and goes off. I know it's not really about me, so I don't get riled up. I supposed I could get angry back him for getting the bulk end of his problems. But then again, that's what a spouse is for. You get to release your stress on someone you trust, who you know won't hold it against you. He' like to yell at a colleague, client, or employee. But he yells at me and doesn't screw up a business deal. I can take it."
What's sad is there's 256 pages of this drivel. While the book's subtitle is "The Secrets of My Hot and Happy Marriage," it's hard not to shake off the feeling that she's simply a broken woman who has given in:
"I used to want to hold onto my independence, even after we got married. I didn't want to need anyone, not even Joe. Now, I know that it's arrogant to think you don't need anyone. Need is only a four-letter word if you don't accept it as another one. F-A-C-T."

'Paranormal Activity 5' to be directed by Gregory Plotkin
‘Paranormal Activity 5’ will mark the directorial debut of Plotkin while scribe duo Jason Pagan and Andrew Deutschman will write the script, reported Ace Showbiz.
The next ‘Paranormal Activity’ is slated to hit theaters in the United States on October 25, 2014 preceded with ‘The Marked Ones’ on January 3. The Latin-themed spin-off is directed by Christopher Landon, who wrote the last three ‘Paranormal Activity’.
Landon will leave the horror franchise to direct a new Paramount scary film called ‘Boy Scouts vs Zombies’.
Hey, it's not out of the realm of possibility. Please put down your
Sophia Petrillo coffee mug. It wouldn't be instantaneous, Maybe a few
years or so down the road. They'd be thinking about how a more modern
version of the show might play...see how Dorothy, Rose, Blanche and
Sophia handle a new world with smartphones and the Internet. They might
even make a movie. Look at 21 Jump Street. They made a movie of
that and all the principal actors from the TV show are alive! Of
course, they changed some of the premise and basically had a whole
different type of plot and vibe with the name 21 Jump Street plastered
on it.
It could be decades, actually, since older shows always seem to get a re-imagining. Look at The Transformers, Garfield, and The Smurfs now. Those were hit shows in the '80s and they have all had the movie treatment fairly recently. Once Lifetime and all the other channels finally stop showing Golden Girls re-runs in syndication and the show fades from people's minds, maybe my son will take a date to see this Golden Girls movie (he's 3 now, so you imagine the time frame here).

There are reports that Ranbir and Katrina will go on a holiday again, but he chose to keep mum on this too when asked. "Jab pictures chhap jayenge, tab tum log hi bata dena yaar. What should I say? (When pictures get published, you only inform)..."
The actor is currently busy promoting his next film `Besharam`.

Kareena Kapoor's priorities in life are clear: Soha Ali Khan
Mumbai: Actress Soha Ali Khan says her sister-in-law Kareena Kapoor has set her priorities right on personal and professional front.
"We are very much ourselves and what I love about her is in spite of being a huge star, she is a very down to earth person. Physically also she is without make up, chilled out and naturally very beautiful as a person. I know how difficult it is to be an actor and work and then have to look after your personal life," Soha told reporters.
"I respect the fact that she is clear in her priorities about work and my brother. So I have lot of respect for her as a person and we get along very well... She likes me because I am like my brother," she said.
Soha feels Kareena and Saif are good influence on each other. She and Kareena don`t live together, but whenever they meet they do not talk much about films and work.
"If you sit with four actors you will realise no actor is interested in another actor`s work. They will immediately switch off. We are more interested in talking about what is happening off set, we indulge in gossip all the time but I am not telling you (who all we gossip about)," she said.
On work front, Soha seems quite excited about her upcoming film `War Chhod Naa Yaar`, being promoted as India`s first war comedy film, where she is playing the role of a war correspondent.
"This particular representation at border is unique. I always wanted to go to the border and I was looking to get an opportunity to go to Kargil. Sharman Joshi and I went to Wagah Border when we were shooting for `Rang De Basanti`. I always had this imagination of going there after seeing `Border`, `LOC` and to know as to what happens there," she said.
"I am doing live reporting in the film for some time and interacting with Army officers. She is like a normal girl and has a normal romantic healthy interest. She meets Sharman Joshi, who is a good looking Army officer," Soha said.
`War Chhod Na Yaar` is directed by Faraz Haider, who assisted Dibakar Banerjee on `Oye Lucky! Lucky Oye!`. The film also stars Sharman Joshi, Jaaved Jaffrey, Dalip Tahil and Mukul Dev. It releases on October 11.
Asked if there was any sibling rivalry during childhood with Saif or her sister Saba, Soha said, "I did not have fights with Bhai (Saif) but with my sister Saba, because there is a ten-year gap between Saif and me, while me and my elder sister have a gap of two-and-half years or so."
"My sister and I shared a room and we had actually made a border, if anyone crossed it, it was like infiltrating in the area. We had horrible fights as children," she said.
Though Soha is the youngest in the family, she thinks she was not pampered as much as Saif was.
"I don't think I was pampered, my sister feels I was. My brother was pampered because of the mother-son relation. Bhai was allowed to get away with everything, while my mother was strict with us," she said.
"But none of us were spoilt. We came from a position but we were asked to follow basic things like switching off lights, not to talk on phone much often and we were given an allowance," Soha added.

Surrogacy case: Shah Rukh Khan seeks dismissal of plea.
Mumbai: Actor Shah Rukh Khan has sought dismissal of a petition filed by social activist Varsha Deshpande seeking early hearing of the complaint filed by her in a magistrate court seeking action against him for sex determination of their third surrogate child.
Shahrukh`s lawyer Pranav Badhekar on September 26 requested the Bombay High Court to dismiss the petition on the ground that neither Deshpande nor her lawyers were present in the magistrate court when the matter was posted for arguments on September 24.
Deshpande had filed a complaint in the magistrate court seeking action against Shahrukh Khan, his wife Gauri, Jaslok hospital and its doctor and officials of the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) under the Pre-conception and Pre-Natal Diagnostic Techniques (Prohibition of Sex Selection) Act.
Deshpande had alleged that the star couple had conducted pre-birth sex determination tests of their surrogate son AbRam.
Deshpande had approached the High Court seeking an early hearing into her complaint on the ground that the Supreme Court had said that all cases under the PCPNDT Act should be heard and decided within six months.
"In the magistrate court all the respondents filed their replies on September 20 and the matter was kept for arguments on September 24. However, on that day no one was present on behalf of the complainant and the matter was adjourned," Shahrukh`s lawyer Badhekar told the court.
Seeking dismissal of the petition, Badhekar and BMC lawyer M P S Rao said that the petition has become infructuous and need not be entertained.
Justice Jadhav directed Badhekar to file a short affidavit by September 30 bringing this on record and also the order passed by the magistrate court on September 24 adjourning the hearing.
The civic body had earlier told the court that it had conducted an inquiry into the allegations of sex determination and found it baseless.

Never used my father's name to enter industry: Javed Jaffrey
Mumbai: Noted actor Javed Jaffrey says he has never used his father Jagdeep`s influence to get work.
Javed, son of veteran actor-comedian Jagdeep, is known for donning various hats - that of an actor, dancer, singer, choreographer, VJ, ad filmmaker, among others.
He made his acting debut with `Meri Jung` in 1985 where he made a huge impact in a negative role. He has been part of many hit films like `100 Days`, `Fire`, `Earth`, `Salaam Namaste`, `Singh is Kingg` and `3 Idiots` and others.
"Being the son or daughter of a legendary film personality you get more respect. But I have never used that (my father`s name) as an influence to enter industry. It is not that I got work because of him. My father did not do a film for me or launched me, he wanted us to do things on our own," Javed said.
"Rather I never thought I will enter the film industry, it happened all by chance. Destiny played a part and brought me here in this industry," he said.
Javed has played a variety of roles, from negative to positive, but he has a penchant for comedy.
"I like to play all kind of roles. You can`t do same stuff every time as it becomes boring. Comedy is my soft spot. But I love doing action, thriller, drama and negative (roles). I am not comfortable with sexuality, intimate scenes," he said.
The actor will be seen next in debutante director Faraz Haider`s `War Chhod Na Yaar`.
"I am playing captain Qureshi from the Punjab region of Pakistan. So my tone (language) in the film is Punjabi-Urdu. The film establishes relationship in an interesting way. I had great fun doing this film," he said.
Javed will also be seen alongside Ranbir Kapoor, Rishi and Neetu Kapoor in `Besharam`. The actor has a few scenes with Ranbir and a climax scene with Neetu and Rishi Kapoor.
"We did interact on sets. I am a big fan of Rishiji, he is the best actor. Neetuji is fantastic. Ranbir is a fine actor and he is very focused about his work. They are humble and nice people," he said.
Javed will also be seen in Hrithik Roshan starrer `Bang Bang` and `Jo Bhi Karva Lo` with Arshad Warsi.

It is not that I got work because of him. My father did not do a film for me or launched me, he wanted us to do things on our own," Javed said.
"Rather I never thought I will enter the film industry, it happened all by chance. Destiny played a part and brought me here in this industry," he said.
Javed has played a variety of roles, from negative to positive, but he has a penchant for comedy.
"I like to play all kind of roles. You can`t do same stuff every time as it becomes boring. Comedy is my soft spot. But I love doing action, thriller, drama and negative (roles). I am not comfortable with sexuality, intimate scenes," he said.
The actor will be seen next in debutante director Faraz Haider`s `War Chhod Na Yaar`.
"I am playing captain Qureshi from the Punjab region of Pakistan. So my tone (language) in the film is Punjabi-Urdu. The film establishes relationship in an interesting way. I had great fun doing this film," he said.
Javed will also be seen alongside Ranbir Kapoor, Rishi and Neetu Kapoor in `Besharam`. The actor has a few scenes with Ranbir and a climax scene with Neetu and Rishi Kapoor.
"We did interact on sets. I am a big fan of Rishiji, he is the best actor. Neetuji is fantastic. Ranbir is a fine actor and he is very focused about his work. They are humble and nice people," he said.
Javed will also be seen in Hrithik Roshan starrer `Bang Bang` and `Jo Bhi Karva Lo` with Arshad Warsi.
Fire on set: Lata Mangeshkar, SRK offer help to Kapil Sharma
Mumbai: Popular comedian Kapil Sharma has been overwhelmed at being offered help from legendary singer Lata Mangeshkar and superstar Shah Rukh Khan after his show set was damaged in a fire.
A massive fire had broken out recently on the sets of hit show `Comedy Nights With Kapil` at Goregaon Film city. However, there were no casualties in the mishap.
The show is hosted by Kapil and often sees Bollywood celebrities like Shah Rukh, Rohit Shetty, Deepika Padukone, Sushant Singh Rajput, Parineeti Chopra, Riteish Deshmukh, Vivek Oberoi, Anil Kapoor and others using the platform to promote their upcoming films.
"I got a call from Lataji and she asked if I need any kind of help, whether monetary or anything. She asked what can I do for you... Her call was a big thing," Kapil said.
"Also Shah Rukh Khan, Rohit Shetty and lot of people from the industry called me and said `hum tumhare saath hai, batao kitne din mein set khada karna hai` (we are with you, tell in how many days the set has to be put up). The industry is like a family," he said.
Kapil says the exact cause of the fire is yet to be scertained as investigation is still on.
"We will come to know the exact loss... The figures only after the police verification," he said.
He rubbished rumours of a conspiracy behind the fire.
Kapil felt disappointed as he was unable to shoot with singer Sonu Nigam due to mishap.
"We were even planning to shoot with Akshay Kumar and Hrithik Roshan for the promotion of their forthcoming films. But unfortunately due to the tragedy, we are trying to work out things," he said.
However, Kapil is quite happy that people are loving his show and he hopes it to continue. Two episodes supposed to be aired on this weekend have already been shot. But, for the upcoming episodes they will be shooting on the sets of `Bigg Boss` show.
"It`s not an easy job to reconstruct a huge set in such a short time. The channel is also trying to get the best floor to reconstruct a new set. We have a huge set up and we don`t want to compromise with it," he added.
