KIM KARDASHIAN FLOUR BOMBED

She arrived on the red carpet of the London Hotel in West Hollywood yesterday evening to promote her new fragrance when an unidentified woman threw a bag of cooking flour on Kim’s head. She allegedly yelled ‘fur hag’ while doing it.  The woman was quickly detained by hotel security and calmly walked out of the venue with the security staff.

It looks as though she didn’t do much harm as Kim arrived back on the red carpet moments later, flour-free and in good spirits while telling the paparazzi, “I told my make-up artist that I needed a little bit more powder but I didn’t think it would be that much.”
Meanwhile, Kim’s sister Khloe got word of the situation and tweeted:

I wish I was with my sister tonight. I bet you that woman wouldn’t have dared tried a thing.

Rihanna is a fierce kitty in black hair.

Last night, she shared a few photos from the set of the ‘Princess of China’ music video that she is currently filming with ColdPlay.  The song was first performed by Rihanna and ColdPlay at this year’s Grammy Awards and now the collab will have an interesting visual to accompany it.

Riri is giving off ‘Gangsta Goth Geisha’  meets ‘Chinese princess’ in the video but judging from the pics, there is a lot more fierceness to come.

As we previously reported, other items were removed from the room as well, including bed sheets.
