Hailee Steinfeld Is NOT Calling Justin Bieber Baby Because She Still Has A BF!

Sorry, Beliebers… Hailee Steinfeld is NOT dating Justin Bieber!

It was reported after the Met Gala that things were heating up between the Most Girls singer and the 23-year-old, but clearly Justin isn’t the one!

In fact, the 20-year-old is still going strong with her cute BF, Cameron Smoller, who she’s been linked to since last year! YGG!

Earlier this week, Smoller posted the adorable image (above) captioned with “,” so it’s clear Bieber is just a friend.

Hailee is a total catch, so we can see why everyone would want to be linked to her! LOLz!

You can see more photos of Hailz and Cam in the gallery (above)!!

Rihanna Accepts Harvard Humanitarian Award Like The Total Boss She Is

As Elle Woods once said, What, like its hard?

The year 2017 turned itself right around when Harvard University selected Rihanna as their Humanitarian of the Yearearlier this month. On Tuesday, the Anti singer graciously accepted the honor with a touching and hilarious speech in peak Rihanna fashion.

After a handful of guest speakers spoke to Rihannas cultural and philanthropic impact, the singer took the stage and addressed her public.

So, I made it to Harvard, she said, opening the speech with a grin and hair flip. Rihanna then went on to explain how watching commercials as a child that encouraged viewers to donate 25 cents to save a life informed her attitudes toward charity.

I would say to myself, When I grow up, and I can get rich, Im gonna save kids all over the world, Rihanna recalled. I just didnt know I would be in the position to do that by the time I was a teenager.

The Harvard Foundation, which annually honors prominent public-spirited leaders, named Rihanna as the recipient of the Peter J. Gomes Humanitarian Award for her charitable work promoting healthcare and education in the Caribbean. In addition to funding a state-of-the-art center for oncology and nuclear medicine in her home country of Barbados, the singer has set up the Clara Lionel Foundation Scholarship Program to help Caribbean students attending universities in the U.S. succeed.

All you need to do is help one person, expecting nothing in return, Rihanna continued.To me, that is a humanitarian. People make it seem way too hard, man. The truth is and what the little girl watching those commercials didnt know is that you dont have to be rich to be a humanitarian, to help somebody. You dont have to be famous. You dont have to be college-educated.

She then went on to hint that she might return to the university one day as a student, so well just be over here quietly raising funds for a Legally Blonde (Legally Rihanna?) sequel.

Watch the entire ceremony below and catch Rihannas speech at 1:14:00.

Selena Gomez responds to ’13 Reasons Why’ controversy

Selena Gomez has come out in defense of controversial TV drama 13 Reasons Why.

The 24-year-old actress and singer is an executive producer on the Netflix series, which has received widespread criticism for its graphic depictions of teenage rape and suicide.

We stayed very true to the book. Thats initially what [author] Jay Asher created, a beautifully tragic, complicated yet suspenseful story, and I think thats what we wanted to do, Gomez told the AP.

We wanted to do it justice and, yeah, [the backlash is] going to come no matter what, she added.

Its not an easy subject to talk about.

The Met Gala: Rihanna Encased in Petals, Zendaya in Parrots

New York (AP) — The color red made a dramatic show Monday night in the grand parade of fashion at the Met Gala, including co-chair Katy Perry's look, as did glittery gold and blue feathers on the back of Blake Lively. But many of the evening's highlights were courtesy of luminaries who channeled honoree Rei Kawakubo, including Rihanna encased in fluttery petal-like pieces by the Japanese designer.

Rihanna gestured to the crowd from the carpet in her Commes des Garcons look with stagey pink on her cheeks. Her look was two pieces and a sliver of stomach peeked out from the freewheeling design.

Perry wore a veiled dress created just for her by John Galliano, while Pharrell's wife, Helen Lasichanh, wore one of Kawakubo's avant-garde, bulbous and armless jumpsuits. Lively's movie star gown with the feathered train was Versace.

While some of the celebs from the worlds of film, TV, fashion, sports and music were inspired by Kawakubo, others made a splash in more classic looks, including Jennifer Lopez in 1950s elegance, a baby blue Valentino gown by Pierpaolo Piccioli.

Perry wore a silver head piece and black accents around the eyes with an embroidered wool coat layered over a red tulle and silk chiffon dress, her sleeves elongated in a nod to Kawakubo, all by Maison Margiela Artisanal.

Music mogul Diddy, meanwhile, laid down on the carpet to watch girlfriend Cassie pose in a black gown with a huge, spikey train she wore with large, glittery ear cuffs. He wore an embellished cape in a spider web design that carried over to his Rick Owens tuxedo.

"It took a half-hour to get ready. We dress like this on the weekends," he joked.

Speaking of the weekend, Selena and her date The Weeknd smooched on the carpet in a classic white, delicately embellished gown from Coach designer Stuart Vevers. Madonna went for green camo from Moschino, Tracee Ellis Ross in royal blue Comme des Garcons and Kim Kardashian West without husband Kanye West in understated, long-sleeve white from Vivienne Westwood.

Nicki Minaj, in a black bustier romper with a huge black-and-red cape from H&M, is a pro when it comes to arrivals.

"I stood up in the van the whole way," she said of her trip to the Met in her larger-than-life ensemble.

Missing from the carpet: Stalwarts Sarah Jessica Parker, Beyonce and Lady Gaga.

Serena Williams in green Versace put in her first carpet appearance since announcing her pregnancy. Kylie Jenner was whisked up the stairs in a revealing sheer gold Atelier Versace gown, her platinum locks styled closed to her head. Sister Kendall Jenner stunned in a revealing black look covered in 85,000 hand-painted crystals from La Perla Creative Director Julia Haart. It included a wide diagonal slit from shoulder to below the waist and took more than 160 hours of work by 26 craftsmen in five cities, the designer said in a statement.

Lasichanh, her blond hair high on her head, smiled from within her signature Kawakubo suit. Claire Danes also channeled the Japanese designer, whose work is featured in the Metropolitan Museum Costume Institute's spring exhibition, "Rei Kawakubo/Comme des Garcons: Art of the In-Between." The sleeves of Dane's flurry of ruffles in a white blouse extended well beyond her hands, paired with a simple pair of black pants.

Vogue's Anna Wintour kicked off the star-studded gala a bit earlier as one of the evening's co-host. The gala feeds the annual budget of the Costume Institute. Wintour opted for encrusted gold and ostrich feathers from Chanel and said of Kawakubo and her brand: "She's a genius. Not only does she think outside of the box, she doesn't acknowledge the box."

Priyanka Chopra's floor-sweeping trench coat evening gown in camel from Ralph Lauren took up a lot of real estate on the carpet, which is actually blue this year. Gigi Hadid went with the color fawn in a geometric design that was short on one side and longer on the other. Her sister, Bella, dressed in a sexy sheer catsuit by Alexander Wang.

Thom Browne dressed Solange Knowles in a black coat dress, a quilted down-filled puffer with a train and a pair of his ice skate-inspired booties on her feet.

Lilly Collins, her hair in a black, banged crop with dark red lips, paid homage to Kawakubo in a black strapless bodice paired with a high-waisted full skirt in pink, from Giambattista Valli. Zendaya, was just Zendaya, her hair down and red parrots adorning a full, off-the-shoulder ball gown in gold by Dolce & Gabbana Alta Moda.

Celine Dion, in a silver bodysuit by Versace paired with high hair sculpture, was the last to walk, praising Kawakubo and saying: "To wear something, to be recognized, the whole thing is overwhelming. It's great to be here."

Kim Kardashians narcissism is bad, but snarking about cellulite is far worse

It is tiresome to pretend Kardashian West is a great feminist triumph. But to criticise her for a seemingly imperfect backside is absurd

Kim Kardashian Wests backside seemed to be in the news last week and opinion was split over whether this was a feminist triumph or not. Can we have a definitive ruling, please?

Marcus, by email

Your question could not be better timed, Marcus. As it happens, I have spent the past weekend at the Annual Feminist Symposium, where we take stock of the years developments and have a vote over which things are feminist and which are not. Some of the issues which we debated this year include Kellyanne Conway (not feminist), Topshops new high-waisted jeans (feminist) and that Pepsi commercial (pretty much the literal opposite of feminism). A spirited debate ensued about whether or not we needed to take a vote on Theresa May again, with this columns counterparts from the Telegraph and Mail insisting May clearly represents the absolute best of women why else would Tory men refer to her as mummy? However this revelation prompted the rest of the room to spend the next few hours vomiting profusely, so the vote had to be postponed.

Yes, Kim Kardashian Wests arse was in the news last week. Oh, stop that crying, CP Scott, and accusing me of spitting on your grave there is a point here. Right, so as I said, the worlds most famous arse was much discussed last week because it was seen in a way it had never been seen before, which is saying something given that it has been examined more closely than the Middle East peace crisis, and caused about as muchconsternation.

But last week, photos appeared of Kardashian on a beach and, hoo, boy. Personally, this column was most offended by the Christian Dior bikini she was wearing; so naff and logo heavy, Danniella Westbook would have taken her aside with a quiet, Babe, no. But that was not what caused the rest of the world to have a collective conniption fit no, it was the fact that Kardashians backside had some cellulite and was not quite as Barbie-like as previous photos had suggested. It turns out Kardashian is human?

Now, that is one theory about her that had been heretofore unconsidered. Reactions to these pictures exemplify the contradictory reactions the Kardashians have prompted all along. So fake!, Fake ass and the even more evocative Fake ass shit are just some of the comments people are leaving on Kardashians Instagram, along with much speculation about whether or not Kardashian has had plastic surgery, which seems a tad ironic, given these are the least plastic-looking photos about her to ever appear. Accompanying this is the horror that Kardashian must can you believe it? have been airbrushing her earlier selfies, suggesting a shocking number of people are unaware that Kardashian selfie is Latin for the definition of airbrushing. As the late and much-missed Alan Rickman would say, benefits of a classical education.

Similarly, one male tabloid columnist dramatically announced last week that he is done with Kim Kardashian, to which the correct answer is Oh dear, how will she soldier on? Shell be crying into her $80m tonight. What sparked this dramatic break-up, you cry? According to the columnist, it was Kardashians recent interview with Ellen DeGeneres and the selling of arse-related merchandise on Kardashians website, which he damned as hugely profitable and hugely cynical. He also lamented how Kardashian, who he once liked, had become, since her marriage to bad boy rapper Kanye West, a poor example to the worlds girls. This column is happy to provide, again, the correct response to all of this, which is: Im sorry, did you miss the part where the Kardashians only became famous in the first place because of their relationship with OJ Simpson, and someone leaked Kims sex tape? Or was all that fine, but an interview on a chatshow that isnt yours is a bridge too far?

Anyway, Marcus, you asked me for a definitive ruling here and you shall get one. At the risk of upsetting the Feminist Symposium I have to say that not everything is feminist or otherwise, and I would put Kardashians arse in that category. Like a planet, it just is. It is slightly tiresome when people try to pretend the Kardashians themselves are great feminist icons. But to criticise Kardashian for walking around with her butt out, or faking her photos, or posing shamelessly for the paparazzi, or exploiting herself for cash is clearly absurd. This is all Kardashian has ever done, and anyone over the age of 16 who is surprised by any of this now really needs to have a hard look at themselves.

I am no Kardashian fan Ithink theyre all exploitative narcissists but, amazingly, its Kim who comes out the best from this whole hoo-ha. She is just doing what she has always done, and, frankly, bravo to her for appearing to not give a fig about anyones thoughts about her cellulite. Have people forgotten how recently looking flat-out anorexic was the most desirable look for a woman? In no way is Kardashian a good example, and nor has she ever been, but I could very easily argue that people who snark about cellulite are worse. So no, Marcus, Kardashians bum is not a feminist triumph. But next to some other people, it is a paragon of mature self-awareness.
