Beyonce and JAY-Z's six-year-old daughter Blue Ivy Carter has had her own stylist since she was a baby.

Manuel Mendez, who works for Beyonce's Parkwood Entertainment firm, previously served as the pop superstar's personal assistant, but he has since taken on a much younger client - and has reportedly been picking out clothes for Blue Ivy since she was 20 months old.

The fashion guru has been taking credit for the child's various outfits and sharing details about the pieces via Instagram for a while, and now the Formation hitmaker's representative has confirmed to WWD.com that Mendez is actually employed as Blue's personal shopper and stylist.

It's not known if Mendez also has a hand in choosing clothes for her younger siblings, twins Sir and Rumi, who were born last June (17).

The fashionable looks Mendez has styled for Blue include the couture white Valery Kovalska pant suit she wore to the 2018 Grammy Awards in New York in January, and the custom ruffled black and gold dress and wig she stepped out in to attend her grandmother Tina Knowles Lawson's Wearable Art Gala in Los Angeles last month (Mar18).

He was also responsible for selecting the white and gold Billie Blush gown and Raimana Cowan feather collar the little girl wore for her appearance in dad JAY-Z's star-studded Family Feud music video, which was released in December (17).

While Blue appears to be firmly following in her mother's fashion icon footsteps, she is also learning to speak up for herself.

JAY-Z, real name Shawn Carter, recently shared a sweet exchange between the pair during his interview with talk show veteran David Letterman for his new Netflix series, My Next Guest Needs No Introduction.

"I told her to get in the car the other day because she was asking a thousand questions and we had to leave for school," explained the rap mogul. "We're driving and then I just hear a little voice (say), 'Dad...'

"I turn around and she said, 'I didn't like when you told me to get in the car the way you told me' - she's six! - 'It hurt my feelings.'"

He was so touched by her sheer honesty, he replied, "That's the most beautiful thing you've ever said to me."

MMA fighter Conor McGregor is facing a slew of charges after turning himself in for attacking a packed UFC bus and injuring one of the fighters on board, PEOPLE confirms.

McGregor is charged with three counts of assault and one count of criminal mischief as a result of the Thursday incident in which the 29-year-old Irish native allegedly threw a dolly through one of the bus’ windows at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York, a New York City Police Department spokesperson confirms to PEOPLE.

He turned himself in to police at the 78th precinct on Thursday night, and was transported to Brooklyn Criminal Court early on Friday, the spokesperson says.

UFC fighter Michael Chiesa was allegedly injured in the incident, suffering several cuts to the face, according to ESPN. Chiesa’s coach, John Wood, told the site that Chiesa had been hospitalized. Chiesa announced on Twitter Thursday night that he would not be competing at the UFC 223.

“A decision was made by the New York State Athletic Commission to pull me from UFC 223,” he wrote. “I’m devastated to say the least. @Showtimepettis I hope to run this match up ASAP, June 9th in your backyard. That’s all I have to say for now. Much love.”

Footage of the incident shared on Instagram by UFC fighter Felice Herrig allegedly showed McGregor holding up a metal guardrail and preparing to launch it at the bus before he was stopped. In another video published by TMZ, other men — allegedly part of McGregor’s crew — were shown charging at the bus, with at least one seen trying to throw a chair.”

UFC president Dana White said credentialed journalists from McGregor’s website let the fighter and his entourage into the venue, ESPN reports. Witnesses said McGregor — who was not scheduled to compete in the event — ran into the arena’s loading dock and began throwing objects at the bus as it took a group of UFC fighters to a nearby hotel.

“It’s disgusting, and I don’t think anybody is gonna be huge Conor McGregor fans after this,” White told an ESPN reporter after the incident, calling McGregor and his entourage “thugs.”

“I don’t know if he’s on drugs, or what his deal is. But to come and do this and act like this? You’re talking about a guy who has a baby, he just had a kid. This is how you’re acting? You have a son at home.”

With his famous biceps bulging, The Rock gripped the killer beast’s powerful jaws shut with his bare hands as he squatted over him in a tight black vest and blue denim jeans.

The Rock is currently promoting his new movie Rampage, which is loosely based on the 1986 computer game of the same name.

It tells the story of a man who teams ups with a giant silverback gorilla to fight mutant wolves and reptiles.
Under his picture, Dwayne wrote: “Gorillas weren’t the only animals I spent time with for my RAMPAGE research.
“Luckily, I’m a country boy who lives only a few miles from the swamps of the Florida Everglades.

“I do a lot of fishin’ and truckin’ down here and these gators are some of my favorite fresh water species.

“They’ve been rompin’ and chompin’ for 37 million years. Incredible animal.. especially once I’m able to calm ‘em, then I’m really able to appreciate up close.”

He added: “Important legal disclaimer: If you come across a gator, don’t try doing this. “You’ll lose a limb or something much worse.

Call the Fish and Wildlife Commission or WorldStar.” But his tough man antics didn’t win over his Jumanji co-star Kevin Hart, who couldn’t resist getting a jab in on his film-star pal.

Kevin commented: “So I guess we’re done doing movies together…I say that because if you’re doing stupid s*** like this you’re gonna die soon.

“Stop f****** with these wild animals man!”

IK Ogbonna fake designer shirt became an object of ridicule amongst his friends on social media.

The Nigerian actor was spotted rocking the fake designer shirt and thus became a laughing stock on social media.

IK donned a fake Dolce & Gabbana tee shirt and a photo of him in the shirt was used as a meme that has since gone viral.

Upon seeing himself as a meme, he took to his page to out his ‘personal shopper’ who he blames for the cause of his social media predicament.

Well, his friends feel this ‘personal shopper’ of his is a faux and he should just enjoy his disgrace… Uti Nwachukwu and Yomi Casual decided to troll him as they took to the comment section as seen below:

Davido himself, who was the better side of the meme, also reached out to him…

Khloe Kardashian, 33, kept her pregnancy a secret for months before finally announcing the incredible news on Instagram – but her sister, Kylie Jenner, 20, didn’t even reveal her baby news until after the birth of baby Stormi with Travis Scott.

But while Khloe did announce her pregnancy, a latest report has claimed she’ll be keeping the birth well under wraps – just like Kylie.

“She may be on a roll now documenting her bump and revealing everything about her soon-to-arrive daughter, but in fact Khloe is terrified because it's her first baby, so she's doing a total blackout on it,” a source told The Sun.

“Her plan is to keep everything secret for a few days - just like Kylie [Jenner, her half-sister] did.''

The source added that Khloe, who is expecting her first child with Tristan Thompson, wants some time alone with their little one before fans find out.

“They really want a few days to themselves before the circus starts,” the source added. “Khloe knows fans will be desperate for news, but unless she demands the time to enjoy her first few days as a mum, things will go crazy immediately.

''She wants some time to take it all in and to catch her breath for as long as she can – this is precious to her.''

Kim Kardashian West’s sister Khloe, who is eight months pregnant with her first child is almost completely ready for the arrival of her little one – and is currently completing the final touches.

Taking to Twitter, Kris Jenner’s daughter revealed she had been decorating the little one’s nursery all day, before admitting to feeling anxious.

“Been decorating the baby nursery all day! We are so close!” she wrote.

“I’m getting more and more anxious and excited with every day.”

The reality star – who is expected to give birth next month – has been open about her pregnancy since she announced it in September. And speaking about how she’s been feeling, the reality TV star recently revealed she felt lucky as it has been quite as easy ride for her.

She said: “What surprises me most about pregnancy is, I think everyone says how hard pregnancy can be, and I think pregnancy has its ups and downs, but I’ve ben very blessed that mine has been pretty much, like, it’s been very healthy and I still have a lot of energy and I like to work out I’m very blessed that mine’s been a very active pregnancy.”

Jay-Z and Beyoncé work hard on their marriage.

On the latest episode of Netflix's "My Next Guest Needs No Introduction," which hit Netflix Friday morning, Jay-Z spoke with host David Letterman about cheating on Beyoncé. Letterman alluded to troubles his own infidelity resulted in and asked Jay-Z if that sounded familiar to him, though neither Letterman nor Jay-Z explicitly referenced cheating. 

"A few years ago, I got myself into some trouble, and the situation was my responsibility and my fault," Letterman said. "I did something that I had no business doing, and I regret it, and since then, I have tried to acknowledge that mistake and be a better person.

Letterman admitted to having an affair with a co-worker and cheating on his wife Regina Lasko during a 2009 episode of "The Late Show" after someone attempted to blackmail him.

"At the time the pain that I caused myself was the fear that I had blown up my family ... And I'm wondering if this rings a bell with you," the host continued.

Jay-Z acknowledged that he related to the situation. He has opened up about his marriage in recent interviews, and both he and Beyoncé reference the infidelity in their music.

"Much like you, I have a beautiful wife who was understanding and knew that I'm not the worst of what I've done and who did the hard work of going to therapy, and really, we love each other," Jay-Z said. "We really put in the work." 

He also described how the two are still growing as a couple.

"For years, this music that I'm making now is a result of things that happened already," he said. "Like you, I like to believe that we're in a better place today but still working and communicating and growing. I'm proud of the father and the husband that I am today because of all the work that was done."

Jay also said it's often difficult for men to open about their emotions, but it's something he strives for. 

"For a lot of us, we don't have, especially where I grew up and men in general, we don't have emotional cues from when we're young," he said. "Our emotional cues are 'Be a man, stand up, don't cry!'" 

The rapper told T Magazine: The New York Times Style Magazine in 2017 that he and Beyoncé never explicitly spoke about what they were going to use on their albums but that they used music as a "therapy session."

"We started making music together," Jay-Z said. "And then the music she was making at that time was further along. So her album came out as opposed to the joint album that we were working on."

The husband and wife are going on tour together this summer. The On the Run II tour will run June 6 through October 2. 

According to Hip-Hop mogul, Russell Simmons, today is Baby Mama Appreciation Day and he's giving a special shout-out to his ex-wife and babymother of his two children, Kimora Lee Simmons. 

The 60-year-old who is currently facing multiple sexual assault accusations took to Instagram to celebrate the fashion model for being a phenomenal mother.

Sharing a beautiful photo of Kimora, he wrote:

'Baby momma appreciation day .. fellas if u ain’t friends w/your baby momma you better make friends cause your relationship with her rubs off on your kids God blessed you both with children you have a lifetime bond If u ever loved them … you should love them still Thank you @kimoraleesimmons for being a phenomenal mother and allowing me to skate Thank you to Tim for being an amazing step dad God knows I’m blessed and my children are the proof.

It was reported that she got engaged to her former boyfriend who had just returned from abroad.

Linda’s sister, Sandra Ikeji has leaked the supposed secret on instagram, revealing the face of her handsome in-law.

“He sooooo fine. Pop the question already babes. My answer is YES! Lol if my sister cashh me ehhh. My inlaw so fine, so calm. Love you.” she joked on her Instagram page with impressive messages swarming the page.

See her tweet below:

In fact, the Mavin boss doesn’t ever pass up an opportunity to get her attention on social media.

Recently, popular singer, Rihanna shared this photo scene below on Instagram of herself in a little black dress.

As soon as he saw the photo, Don Jazzy immediately jumped in to drop a hilarious comment.

He wrote: “Awww this dress is nicer than the red one I told you to wear boo.”

The Vice Chancellor of Imo State University (IMSU), Prof Adaobi Obasi has revealed that big brother Naija housemate, Nina will undergo moral rehabilitation upon her return from the reality show.

According to multiple reports on social media, the Vice Chancellor of Imo State University, Prof Adaobi Obasi insisted that Nina will go for the rehabilitation inorder to purge her of any bad influences she might have picked up while featuring in the BBN show.

Vice Chancellor of the institution reportedly told some Owerri based journalists that the measure is to forestall and foreclose any of the bad influences being transmitted on other students of the university where Nina is currently a student.

As we have a lot to do, you too have a lot to do. One of my students is now in Big Brother Naija. It is not the type of thing I am saying because I don’t see the need. I am talking of something positive; something that will help. We are praying, I told some people that this lady, whatever influence that she has, does not affect my other students here, my daughters here. We give something that will yield something. I never know what that BBN, the morals it is teaching. Maybe I am the only one out there. I don’t know what it is teaching us. Is it to have sex in the public? So, this is my own opinion and I hold onto it. Can you imagine my student telling them that she will sort us out here. We are waiting for her to come and sort us out. Didn’t you listen to her, that she would sort us out. When she finishes, let her come home and sort us out. If this girl comes back, I will watch her and make sure she has dropped those influences. I know I sent out some girls to America for leadership training. I allowed them upon return to teach others. This is the type of thing I want us to do. I will watch her and I will make sure she has dropped that influence. We have never had hostels, but those hostels are ready now. I am taking the first year girls to the hostels because I can say they are intact. We can work from anywhere to do something. I have a passion for IMSU. If I leave it where I found it, generations will be against me.

This will be the couple’s first ever visit to Dubai and they also met with supermodel, Naomi Campbell who recently visited Nigerian for Arise Fashion week.

Khloe Kardashian is using regular drugstore products to stop herself from getting stretch marks during her pregnancy.

The 'Keeping Up with the Kardashians' star maybe worth an estimated $40 million and is able to have her pick of the market's most luxury brands, but she swears by seven different oils and creams that can be bought in a pharmacy to keep her skin from being too badly damaged by her growing baby.

Taking to her Instagram stories, Khloe - who is expecting a child with boyfriend Tristan Thompson - shared her products of choice saying:

''A few of my tummy oils and lotions for my tummy. Yes it's a lot but I don't use them all at once. I use different ones throughout the day or every other day.''

The Good American founder included products such as Bio-Oil and Palmer's Cocoa Butter Tummy Butter as two of her favourite products to moisturise her ever-expanding bump and has previously praised the former product for its skin hydrating benefits.

Khloe, 33, said: ''I keep Bio-Oil in my shower and before I get out, I drench myself in it from head to toe.''

And the 'Revenge Body' star makes sure to remain active during her pregnancy and admits she hasn't experienced a lot of the body disadvantages because she exercises.

Writing on her app, she said: ''Whatever you do before you're pregnant, you're allowed to continue, and they say it leads for a better delivery. I feel great, and I would feel horrible if I was just sitting around, overeating all day ... I don't have swollen feet, I don't have a lot of these things because I'm staying so active right now. So, as long as I can, I want to keep that up.'
