Whoa. Okay. We have our very own Drake and Meek Mill feud going on here in SA: AKA and Cassper Nyovest.

While the beef between the two rappers has been around for some time now, the feud seemed to reach its peak when AKA released his track Composure, a diss song aimed at Cassper Nyovest.

Three weeks later, Cassper shoots back with a diss track of his own, and we are cringing. In it he speaks about AKA’s use of drugs, his inability to write his own music and, yup, the DJ Sinzhle and Bonang debacle. Ouchies.

Listen to Cassper’s song here:

The 2015 edition of the Sanlam Handmade Contemporary Fair takes place next weekend October 9-11 on the rooftop of Hyde Park Corner in Jozi.

While we’ll most certainly be spending our weekend surrounded by fashion and food (really, what more could a girl ask for?), here are four reasons you should be joining us too:

1. A number of new exhibitors to look out for

While you can still expect all your firm favourites from last year’s exhibit, the Sanlam Contemporary Fair have added some new ones into the mix.

Almond is a print-focused fashion label by designers Nicole Levenberg and Claudia Dougherty. All elements of their garments are locally sourced, produced and designed.

Benji + Moon is an online pet ware store that will be launching at the fair with a beautiful selection of handcrafted designer dog and cat products. They work with local artisans to create, among other things, leather collars, ceramic and wooden bowls, crocheted cat beds, felt dog beds and animal soaps.

2. It’s your fashion and beauty dream come true

Expect to see Simon and Mary, gorgeous leather designs from Missibaba as well as Colony Design and Illundi.

Give your skin the love and care it deserves by popping in at Jesslyn from Lulu & Marula who will be showcasing her organic skincare range. Newcomer Linda  from Suki Suki Naturals has her range of all-natural haircare products for all your natural hair needs. Linda is in actual fact a full-time lawyer as well; check out this interview with her below:

3, It’s gin o’clock every hour on the hour

Allow us to introduce you to the team from Hope on Hopkins – a local distiller of vodka and gin. Hope on Hopkins is based in Salt River and is the Mother City’s first distillery. Find out more about them in this clip below:

4. Your inner foodie has never been more content

 If you’re joining us, the Forager pop-up restaurant is a must visit. The team combines the ultimate mixture of food, wine and design to make any eating experience a terrific one. Werner Venter of Forager will be designing the social dining experience and working closely with Culinary Table chef Daniela Gutstadt to educate diners about food, flavours and tastes. Diners will engage with their food on another level at this collaborative stand.

We’ve all been tuned into SABC 3’s What’s for Dinner? With J’Something, partly for his good looks and partly for his innovative dinner ideas. And now, Mi Casa’s J’Something will be taking over one of our favourite restaurants: CRAFT Parkhurst.

On November 10, J’Something will be taking over the running of CRAFT for a day: from opening the restaurant to run to offering a specially crafted menu to foodies and fans alike – definitely not something to miss.

Unearthing any audition tape is like hitting gold. It’s like a slightly life-changing moment to see the person behind the character before they were the character.

We found Blake Lively’s audition tape for her role of Serena van der Woodsen in Gossip Girl. In the tape, Blake is acting out a scene from the pilot where she returns to Manhattan from boarding school and confronts former BFF Blaire Waldorf about her departure.

Fun Fact: Just yesterday, Gossip Girl casting director David Rapaport told Buzzfeed that he initially had Rumer Willis in mind to play the part of Serena, dubiously saying that at that time, “There were no Lena Dunhams or Zooey Deschanel – it was all about beauty and glamour, but being approachable too, and Blake was the ultimate It Girl.”

Pffft, whatever David. Based on the tape, Blake was also perfectly suited because, you know, #talent.

David and Victoria Beckham have undoubtedly cemented their status as global style icons over the course of their 16-year marriage. So what do one of the most fashionable couples not have in common when it comes to their respective wardrobes? Packing.

“I’m one of the best packers you will probably ever meet,” the former footballer says in a recent interview with Condé Naste Traveller. “I’m obsessed with being ready and having everything in place. I’m very well prepared for any trip that’s coming up.”

Long story short: Victoria is the polar opposite when it comes to packing. “I have friends who take the mickey out of me for it,” he admits. “And my wife is a last-minute packer and nowhere near as organised as me!”

In all honesty David, we’re with Vicky on this one – the woman has a wardrobe we covet and we can only begin to imagine the struggle of trying to decide which incredible items of clothing to pack. That, and the fact that we’re pretty much last-minute (over) packers as well. You never know what may happen, so you need to be prepared, right?

Still, apparently Becks is standing firm in his belief that his wife doesn’t need to bring half of the things she packs anyway with one exception: if she opted for a more laid-back look, which he prefers to her incredibly stylish high-end ensembles.

“I like her wearing jeans and sneakers the best,” he shared “She wears our son’s pair of Converse sometimes. But my favourite is when she wears jeans and a pair of Stan Smiths. I think she looks really cool.”

Very cool indeed, David, she’s Victoria Beckham, she could make a plastic bag and a pair of sliders work. Alas, we’re still on Vic’s side, so Posh, keep doing you, girl!

While we’re all about posting our girl crushes on a Wednesday, we are also all for some eye candy on a Monday to get rid of those Monday blues. And nothing is better than some “motivation”.

Picture this: it’s Monday morning, your alarm clock has just gone off and you’re groaning and delaying getting out of bed because it’s #Monday. So you hit snooze but you also quickly log onto Instagram. While scrolling through pictures, you see a very lovely picture of a drop-dead gorgeous man – and then another and another. Suddenly your Monday is looking pretty perky; all thanks to these incredible everyday man crush Instagram accounts:

The former NBA basketball star and ex-husband of Khloe Kardashian was rushed to a Las Vegas hospital last night after he was found unconscious in a brothel.

Odom (35) checked into the Love Ranch – a legal brothel owned by Dennis Hof – on Saturday and was found unconscious around 6:30pm yesterday by staff members. Odom was reportedly foaming at the mouth and had thrown up some blood.

Reports state that while no illegal drugs were found in his room, Odom had been taking what Hof described as “verbal Viagra” and “taking a lot of it”.

Khloe is said to be inconsolable and flew to be by his side, accompanied by sister Kim and momager Kris Jenner. Lamar is in a coma and has heart failure and serious problems with his kidneys and lungs. Kobe Bryant is reported to also have left the Lakers game last night with an ‘injury’ in order to be with Lamar.

Even if you’re not a huge rugby fan, at some point you’ll find yourself watching the game, whether you’re at a braai, a pub or a restaurant and out with your man, friends or family.

Whether sport is your thing or not, Rugy World Cup fever will come for you and when it does, you want to cheer knowing exactly what’s happened without having to look at the score first to make sure you’re celebrating for the right team. Heck, even if you’re just there for the eye candy, knowledge is power, so why not surprise your mates with a “Habana! What a guy-that try was excellent!”.

WE BRING YOU: RUGBY 101

The Basics:

15 players start the game and are split into eight forwards (or “the pack”) and seven backs (or “the backline’). The pack is responsible for winning the ball and the backs needs to do something with it; Score! In other words, the pack decides who wins the match and the backs by how much. So you can thank the lovely JP Pietersen for the 46-6 defeat over Samoa not too long ago

Within the team it can be broken down into a front and back row, loose forwards, the halves, centre-field and the back three.

While they perform in units they each have a specialised role that matches their skills and body shape. Just think of the lean mean running machines like Habana and Mvovo who are the wings while our bigger manly-men like Beast and Etzebeth (a little eye candy never hurt anybody) are loose-head prop and lock. The game is played in two 40-min halves with a 10-minute half-time; just enough time to refill your drinks…but you knew that one already.

Fashion forward:

Whatever you do, don’t commit a fashion faux pax by wearing the opposition’s colours! You may think you look cute in red but you’ll be snarled at by fellow fans for such an obvious blunder. Rather play it safe and wear green and gold. Add a splash of green paint to your cheeks – stylishly applied of course – and you’re dressed to impress. Well at least you’ll look good in your selfies, taken while watching rugby, much to the astonishment of your friends (who secretly may be doing so too).

Green and gold is the colour of the (Rugby World Cup) season as we stand behind our boytjies #GoBokke

Learn the lingo:

It doesn’t take much to read the score, so armed with these babies, you’ll be in there with the boys refuting the ref and all.

• Scrum: Similar to a huddle, it’s used to restart play after a minor penalty or infraction. Each team’s forwards lock together like a pack of hungry dogs and out-manoeuvre each other in the scrum so that the hooker can get the ball back to the number 8 and regain possession for the team.
• Ruck: This happens if the ball is on the ground and one or more player/s from each team close around it. Players are not allowed to handle the ball in the ruck, and must use their feet to move the ball or drive over it so that it emerges at the team’s hindmost foot, at which point it can be picked up.
• Maul: Also knowns as the “truck and trailer”, it involves three or more players. Using the skill and qualities of the forwards, mauling is a way of keeping control of the ball and moving the ball towards and sometimes into the opposition’s in-goal area. The objective of mauling is to wrestle the ball from the opposition and keep possession.
• Advantage: This is when the non-offending side has an opportunity after an infringement to gain territory. The ref signals this with his arm held out horizontally towards the non-infringing team. If no tactical or territorial advantage is gained, the ref blows the whistle and sometimes, during a game, an infringement may be committed where a stoppage in play would deprive the non-offending team of an opportunity to score.
• Penalty: This is used to restart the game after a major infringement like a high tackle, offside or joining a ruck from the side. The team with the penalty can either choose to kick a field goal, kick into touch, take a quick restart or go to scrum.
• Drop goal: A kick that is taken during play when close to the opposing line, If successful, three points are earned but the ball must hit the ground (“drop”) before being kicked. Stars at this tactic are Morné Steyn and of course let’s not forget Joel Stransky and his winning drop goal in the 1995 Rugby World Cup Final against New Zealand, making them our darling champions.

Armed with these beauties, you should be sufficiently informed come Saturday to really get in there and support your boys in green and gold and really know why you’re cheering-we know we will!-as our boys make it all the way to the finals.

The acclaimed second season of Ugly Betty will be screened in October on Sony Channel (DStv Channel 127) at 19:05 weekday. America Ferrera is back as the quintessential plain Jane, Betty Suarez – and this time she’s brighter, bolder and unquestionably Betty-er.

One of our favourite local designers, Gert Johan Coetzee, has teamed up with the Sony Channel to create his own looks inspired by Ugly Betty in conjunction with the highly anticipated second season.

We also sat down with GJC in an exclusive interview to find out more about his creative process behind the looks and what inspires him:

1.. What inspires your love for fashion as a fashion designer?

The beautiful people I work with and their personalities. They inspire me and this allows me to bring life to my creativity.

2. What do love about Ugly Betty and which character stands out for you in the series?

I love the quirkiness of the show. My favourite character is between Wilhelmina, Betty and Amanda. And then there’s also Marc that brings his own flavour. It’s hard to choose one with such a Fashion-Com series.

3. What inspired you about you about the certain looks you have created?

I tried to incorporate each of my favourite characters from the high fashion of Vanessa Williams (Wilhelmina Slater) to the real girl next door, America Ferrera (Betty Suarez).

4. What looks/outfits stood out for you the best?

I loved the puchy orange Kaftan that’s available in selected Edgars stores (Melrose Arch, Menlyn, Sandton and Rosebank).

5. Where can consumers find these looks?

You can find these looks on Spree.co.za or selected Edgars stores (Melrose Arch, Menlyn, Sandton and Rosebank) and various boutiques in SA.

6. Apart from Ugly Betty, is there anyone else in the series you would love to dress?

I would love to dress Victoria Beckham who appears in Season 2, she is always fashion forward and a true style icon.

7. How can someone use these looks you have created as part of their everyday wardrobe?

It all boils down to personal style. These looks are suggestions from me to you, but like the famous saying goes: Fashion is what you buy, style is what you do with it… so be unique.

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and research  shows that women should be going for check-ups on the regular as early as their 20s (by regular, we mean monthly.

Practising breast self-examinations persistently is vital in detecting any malignant lumps early on, and while we are aware that it needs to be done, we feel ashamed in saying that we don’t particularly know how to conduct a self-examination. So we did some research, and according to Breast Cancer.org here are the five steps to check your breasts:

1. Stand in front of a mirror with your shoulders straight, hands on hips and check that your breasts are their usual size, shape and colour.
2. Raise your arms while looking out for the same changes, but keeping a careful eye out for sudden nipple discharge (this could be watery, milky, yellow fluid or perhaps even blood).
3. Lie down flat on your back and feel your breasts. Use your right hand to feel and examine your left breast and your left hand to feel and examine your right breast. Cover your entire breast from your collarbone to the armpit of your cleavage by using a firm, smooth touch and moving in a tight, circular motion (the size of a coin).
4. Apply a more firm pressure on your breast as you reach the deep tissue in the back; once you have reached the deep tissue, you should be able to feel your ribcage. While most women seem to prefer a vertical approach, you can start at the nipple.
5. Stand up again and feel your breasts again.

Many women find it easier to feel their breasts when their skin is wet, so doing this while in the shower may prove to be more helpful.

Have you been burning rubber on the treadmill and cycling like a Tour de France champ with not a single change on the scale? Well, it could be that you’re doing too much cardio.

Yes, you read that right – too much cardio. More is not always best when it comes to cardio, and if your goal is to torch fat and build muscle, you need train smart. Too much cardio can be counterproductive and make you lose muscle. It can lead to injuries and you can also start suffering from fatigue and drastic mood changes. Lots of running can also lead to an increase in cortisol (the stress hormone) levels and suppress your immune system. That’s why some marathon runners come down with colds after their races…

That hour of cardio is great for burning stored energy, but when you’re done on the treadmill or the bike, you’re done burning calories. Weight training, on the other hand, keeps your metabolism at an elevated energy-use rate, which means you’ll still be burning calories for about an hour after you’re done. Perfs!

So get yourself a weight training programme (find one that also incorporates cardio) that suits you and get into the pit with all the other gorillas. And girl, soon you’ll be posting all the #fitfam #gains #fitspo pics your heart desires.

Okay, so we know that Charlize Theron, Candice Swanepoel and now Trevor Noah are our greatest local exports doing SA proud but there are some other South African celebs who you may not have known are South African:

J.R.R. Tolkien

(Image: Facebook/JRRTolkien)

Yup! While the author of The Lord Of The Rings trilogy typically identifies as a British author, the successful creator of fictional languages  is actually South African.

Tolkien is a local boytjie born in Bloemfontein. His papa was a farmer and spent the first three years of his life on local soil before moving to England where his father died shortly after of rheumatic fever. Tolkien’s father’s grave is in Bloemfontein and he also claims that SA itself influenced his writing.

Could our 11 official languages have contributed to stimulating the creative juices for the creation of the Elvish language? We think so!

Dave Matthews

(Image: Instagram/DaveMatthews)

The lead singer and namesake of the Dave Matthews band is another local.  Matthews was born in Johannesburg, moved between New York and England between the ages of 2  and 10 but moved back to his native hometown where he attended primary and high school. After matriculating, Matthews (then 18) he was recruited into the South African military but left the country to avoid service by moving back to the States as he was against Apartheid and “didn’t want to serve a racist country”.

Arnold Vosloo

Remember the movie, The Mummy? While all eyes were glued on Brendan Fraser (and his charming good looks), the actual mummy went by unnoticed. That unnoticed mummy? That’s Arnold Vosloo, another South African native whose career took off after his role in the movie. You may remember him in: The Mummy 2, Blood Diamond, G.I. Joe: Rise of the Cobra.

Arnold grew up in Johannesburg and studied acting at Pretoria Techikon before making his way to Hollywood.

Sienna Miller – sort of.

(Image: Getty)

While Sienna wasn’t really born in or spent some time living in SA, her mama is South African and Sienna managed to really get to know her roots when she spent time in Cape Town filming The Girl back in 2012.

So even though Sienna was born in NYC, we’re claiming it.

Interesting fact: her stepmother was Kelly Hoppen, a very famous and talented interior designer – who was also born in SA!

Orlando Bloom – again, sort of.

(Image: Getty)

Okay, this one gets slightly tricky, so try to keep up. During his childhood, Orlando was told that his father was Harry Saul Bloom, a South African-born anti-Apartheid novelist. Nine years after Harry’s death and at the age of 13,Orlando learned that his biological father was actually Colin Stone, a family friend who became Orlando’s guardian.

We won’t go into Orly’s personal and family history any more than that, but long story short – Orlando was considered of South African descent, and we’re sticking to that one.

Roger Federer

(Image: Instagram/RogerFederer)

The tennis superstar finds his link to SA through his mom who is from Johannesburg. His parents met here in SA way back in 1970. Federer has visited SA on numerous occasions claiming that it’s “one of the most beautiful countries in the world” (no arguing with you there, Rog). His philanthropic organisation, the Roger Federer Organisation, benefits children living in parts of Africa including South Africa.

Sasha Pieterse

(Image: Instagram/SashaPieterse)

You probably recognise Sasha from her role as Alison DiLaurentis in Pretty Little Liars. Sasha was born in Jozi back in ’96 and moved to the States when she was three. Sasha was introduced to the entertainment industry at a young age, as her parents were on a professional acrobatic dance team. Sasha was home schooled and after finishing school at 14, she met with an agent who signed her to a modelling and acting contract.

Neill Blomkamp

Neill is best known for having directed the sci-fi movie District 9. Born in Jozi, Neil moved to Canada at 18 to pursue his passion in 3D animation and design. He worked as an animator for a while before branching into acting.

JB is finally speaking up about how he really feels about those leaked nude pics that broke the internet more than Kim K’s Paper cover ever could.
Biebs’ reaction? “My first thing was like… how can they do this?” he told Access Hollywood. “Like, I feel super violated. I feel like I can’t step outside naked. Like, you should feel comfortable in your own space… especially that far away”.
While Bieber was initially threatening legal action against any media outlets who published the salacious and violating snaps, Biebs admitted that he was able to find some humour in the whole saga thanks to big Bieber – Justin’s dad, Jeremy – who tweeted:
“What do you feed that thing #prouddaddy” in reference to the size of Bieber’s, well, you know.
Bieber thought the tweet, especially that hashtag, was “hilarious”. “When I found out people were hating on him for saying that, I was like, ‘Are you kidding me?’” He told morning radio show Zach Sang and The Gang. “What dad wouldn’t be proud of that? It’s not like he’s saying it to an 11-year-old. I’m 21,” Bieber explained.
Watch Biebs’ full interview here:

Since the release of Adele’s first music video off of her album 25, we have been racking our brains trying to figure out why Adele is using a flip phone in the video.

And we’re not alone, there is even a Twitter account dedicated to Adele’s flip phone in the video!

(Image: Youtube/Screengrab)

Finally, we have answers, and we really didn’t have to wait that long. Xavier Dolan, the director of “Hello”, explained in a recent interview with the Los Angeles Times: “I never like filming modern phones or cars. They’re so implanted in our lives that when you see them in movies, you’re reminded you’re in reality.” He continued, “If you see an old phone or a Toyota in a movie, they’re anti-narrative, they take you out of the story. If I put an iPhone or a modern car in a movie it feels like I’m making a commercial.”

Touché. Hello really does have timeless sepia-like filter quality and let’s be real, if that sharp white screen of an iPhone did make an appearance, it would have stood out like a sore thumb and ruined the ambiance. Yes? Yes.

Still haven’t seen the video? Watch it here:

When it comes to anything Kardashian-related, anything less than amazing simply will not do.

This past weekend the Kardashian klan and ko threw Kim a camp-themed baby shower in honour of her soon-to-be-born baby boy (ICYMI, the due date of Kim’s son is December 25).

The shower took place at the family home of Allison Azoff, the same estate where Khloe and Lamar said their ‘I do’s’ back in 2009. The shower was also the first time that Khloe has been away from ailing Lamar’s bedside.

(Image: Instagram/KylieJenner)

Reports claimed Kim’s baby shower was scheduled for the weekend after Lamar overdosed and ended up in a three-day coma.

But now that he’s doing better, it was all systems go again. The dress code for the shower was strictly co-ordinating striped pyjamas while the menu included pancakes, waffles, eggs benedict and omelettes and all guests received a box of girl scout cookies as a thank you gift.

We’re not going to lie, when we saw the images pop up on our Instagram feeds over the weekend, we were really feeling the FOMO. It looked like a heck of a lot of fun!

Words we never thought we would utter, considering how meticulous momager Kris Jenner is when it comes to contracts and work. But ‘tis true, the Jenner sisters are being sued.

The plaintiff: swim and beachwear conglomerate, Island Company.

The reason: apparently Kendall and Kylie are kopykats.

But it’s not only Kendall and Kylie who are being sued – mass retailer PacSun, who worked with the brand, are also being sued.

Okay, enough legal talk and more fashion jargon. Kendall and Kylie’s collection for PacSun is described as “inspired by the diversity, optimism and creativity of the Golden State,” and features an array of denim dresses, T-shirts and off-the-shoulders tops, but it’s those pesky tees that are causing this whole legal debacle.

The particular T-shirt causing the most drama? The one that reads “Run away. Fall in love. Never return”. While it feels dreamy and romantic to us, it feels like a slap in the face to Island Company whose trademark logo reads: Quit your job. Buy a ticket. Get a tan. Fall in love. Never return.”

Page Six revealed the official complaint, which stated that the uncanny similarity between the Jenners’ PacSun collab and Island Company motto “is likely to cause confusion, mistake and deception among consumers, the public and the trade as to whether defendants’ products or services are affiliated with, sponsored by or endorsed by plaintiff.”

If Island Company succeeds, PacSun will essentially be forced to remove the slogan from all their pieces.

Dang!

In memory of Jenna Lowe

How a courageous young girls’ gift of life continues to make a difference.

Jenna Lowe captured the hearts and minds of our nation; she inspired a staggering 36 000 South Africans to register as organ donors through her brave GetMeTo21 campaign. Today, on what would’ve been her 21^st birthday, we commemorate and remember her extraordinary life as a young leader, role model, educator, and champion. Along with the Jenna Lowe Trust, we can continue her legacy in simple ways and continue to drive her ultimate passion, to change the world for the better.

Jenna planned a 21^st celebration like no other. Her intention was to hold a spectacular event to celebrate this milestone with every person that signed up as an organ donor through her GetMeTo21 campaign. This campaign, was not only about her personal need for lungs, it was also about the other 4400 patients in South Africa awaiting organs for life-saving transplants; the vast majority of whom are young people, also desperately wanting to get to their next birthday.  Sadly, Jenna passed away on the 8 June 2015, four months shy of her 21^st.

In life, Jenna exuded an inspirational bravery that touched people and has undeniably created massive social impact in South Africa by increasing organ donor registration by 238%, through her campaigning alone. Her efforts to raise awareness for the rare and under-diagnosed lung disease Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension (PAH) from which she suffered has also paid dividends as the first specialist PAH unit at Groote Schuur Hospital & UCT Private Academic Hospital in Cape Town is now operational.

To acknowledge and celebrate Jenna’s beautiful life, the Jenna Lowe Trust has a newly designed website that continues the important conversation and work that she started. Designed to make news and features easier to find for families and patients in need of resources and information on PAH and organ donation, the improved user experience enables visitors to read, contribute and share information.

In addition to the new website, and in honour of her birthday, The Jenna Lowe Trust has partnered with RELATE Bracelets to create a red beaded bracelet to honor, acknowledge and celebrate Jenna’s beautiful life. From today, the Jenna Lowe RELATE Bracelets will be available in boxes of ten online www.jennalowe.org, https://www.shop.relate.org.za/product/jenna-lowe-getmeto21-stack selling for the launch price of R35.00 a bracelet. Proceeds of the sales go towards the Jenna Lowe Trust, which is mandated and committed to continue raising awareness for Pulmonary Hypertension, Organ Transplantation and Rare Diseases in South Africa.

“I can make a difference, and a difference can make me”, Jenna Lowe, aged 12 years old.  Make a difference, visit www.jennalowe.org today.

How you can get involved:

The Jenna Lowe Trust is looking for retail partners to join their movement for change and stock Jenna’s bracelets. Any interested parties, should contact Gabi Lowe via email gabi@upfrontmarketing.co.za

It’s been two years since our once-favourite celeb couple called off their engagement. Since the split, the two have really gone their separate ways: Liam is making a serious name for himself in the industry and Miley has since shed her Hollywood cookie-mould shell and become who she could never be!

In a recent interview with Men’s Fitness, Liam explains that there’s no bad blood between the pair: “You fall in love with who you fall in love with; you can never choose. I guess some people just come with a little more baggage.” He laughs. “I mean, look, we were together five years, so I don’t think those feelings will ever change. And that’s good because that proves to me that it was real. It wasn’t just a fling. It really was an important part of my life and always will be. She’s a free spirit. I think she’ll always surprise people with what she does, but she’s not a malicious person in any way. She’s a young girl who wants to do what she wants to do.”

(Image: Instagram/MileyCyrus)

Despite the rumours that him and Hunger Games co-star, J-Law, were dating, Liam isn’t dating and it doesn’t seem like there are any prospects on the horizon either: “Dating’s really difficult. I’m constantly travelling, and I don’t go out to clubs or anything like that. I have a great small group of friends in my life, but I barely ever meet anyone new. It’s tough to have a relationship in this industry, though not to the point where it makes me depressed. I’m constantly working, and I love working. I don’t feel like I’m missing out on anything at this point — I feel like I’m focusing on the right things and prioritising things in the right way, and I’m a healthy, happy person.”

There is still so much love between the two, could there be a recoupling sometime in the future?

When news broke that Khloé and Lamar had called off their divorce in the midst of Lamar’s hospitalisation following his collapse in a brothel earlier this month, rumours sparked that the couple were going to be giving their marriage another try – after all, Khloé has been unashamedly vocal about her love for Lamar. But where did that leave Khloé’s relationship with current beau, James? Khloé was caught in a catch-22 situation and was going to have to make a choice.

Turns out, at this point, she’s chosen James. ” Khloé and James never broke up. He’s been so understanding and he knows that Khloé ‘s love for Lamar is deeper than what most people can understand,” a source revealed. “He’s been very understanding and supportive. Lamar has a long road ahead of him and Khloé will always have the love she has for Lamar.”

In a recent interview with People, Khloé opened up the complications and demands the situation with Lamar has on her current relationship with James: “He’s been great with me, and I’m just allowing everything to unfold,” she told the magazine. “If it’s ever too overwhelming [for him], then I understand that as well.”

Regarding the divorce, she explains that the two have simply postponed the legal proceedings of the divorce until Lamar is back on his feet and able to cope. ”I pulled back on the divorce because there is no rush for it,” she told People. “For medical reasons and a tonne of other things, it’s just smarter that it’s put on hold. But that does not mean I’m back with Lamar. It’s not even in our brains to think about having a relationship. Only time will tell.”

“You never know what to expect in life,” she goes on to explain. “I had to get there (to support him). All I wanted was for him to be okay… Every hour is different. It goes up and it goes down. Things are progressing, but it’s a very serious situation.”
