Kim Kardashian Shows Off Body In Tiny Bikini
Kim Kardashian believes she is not a feminist — but one writer thinks she’s wrong.
On Monday, Kim Kardashian posted an essay on her website titled “Why I Don’t Label Myself a Feminist,” in which she explained her reasons for rejecting the label that so many celebrities have embraced in recent years. “I feel that being grouped or labeled can create separation between people who do (or don’t) fall into certain categories,” Kardashian writes. “The fight for equality is about ALL human beings being treated equally.” Marcie Bianco, a writer for Quartz, is convinced that Kardashian is a feminist anyway — and all she needs is a little bit of explaining. “The reality is that practically all political movements that work toward equality encounter pushback from the status quo. The result is that movements from feminism to Black Lives Matter are often interpreted by American culture as divisive and even violent. This perception suggests that equality is not only widely misunderstood, but on some fundamental level undesired,” she writes, calling Kardashian’s stance “a bafflingly contradictory yet all-too-common sentiment.” By not thinking about what equality exactly means and how it “materializes politically, socially, or economically,” Bianco argues, Americans are evading their responsibility and maintaining equality more as myth than reality. By arguing that “ALL humans” matter and should be treated equally, Kardashian is contributing to “the very damaging idea that standing for a cause inherently means standing against someone else,” Bianco writes.

Miley Cyrus' mum and sister sued
According to a new lawsuit filed by EJ Hawkins and obtained by TMZ, Noah, 16, was driving a jeep with her mother Tish, 49, in the passenger seat when their vehicle hit his car on the 101 freeway in Los Angeles.
He claims he had to be taken to hospital and has suffered physical pain,"loss of love, affection, companionship, comfort, society and sexual relations," as a result.
Hawkins has included Tish in the lawsuit, for reportedly allowing her daughter to drive the car.
Meanwhile, earlier this year Noah revealed she is branching out into music, with the help of her singer father, Billy Ray Cyrus.
She said: "My dad always had me sing alongside him while he played guitar. He taught me how to harmonise to an old song of his, 'Missing You'. Writing is the best way to get your mind clear. It's also a great way to explain your past or what you hope for the future."
And Noah says her older sister is a huge inspiration, especially when it comes to fashion.
She said: "My sister Miley really inspires me because she's all about being herself. I try to be like that and dress how I want to dress."
Miley Cyrus and Alicia Keys on the voice

In the sneak peek, each of the new coaches take different approaches to wooing potential team members, and at times, Levine and Shelton find it hard to compete.
Cyrus plays up her off-beat, youthful energy. At one point, she tells a contestant who wore her grandmother's vintage vest to the audition that they share "grandma power."
Keys, meanwhile, goes for a warm, personal approach that none of the other three could possibly duplicate.
Keys might be the one to beat
Speaking of Keys, early indicators are she's going to be the most calculated and deliberate coach during auditions this season. She doesn't seem like the type who will be turning chair around for just any good singer.
Her strategy appears to be seeking out singers who she feels a connection to. One person who ends up on her team calls Keys "honest and real," and that sums up what Keys' approach to mentoring will probably be as well.
As an artist that puts a lot of stock in authenticity, Keys seems to be on the lookout for artists with strong points of view that she can take to a new level.
In other words, the other coaches should be on high alert for this savvy coach.
Levine and Shelton have fun picking on Cyrus -- but she fights back
Even though the bromance of Levine and Shelton is out in full force once again this season, Cyrus' addition promises to only add more fuel to the fire.
Like when she guested as a mentor on the show last season, Shelton has a lot of fun poking fun at the younger singer's eccentric style and her gift for gabbing. ("When do you breathe?" he joked at one point.) But she doesn't take it lying down.
At one point, Cyrus pointed out to a contestant that unlike her fellow coaches, the "internet actually existed" when she was coming up in the music world. (Levine laughed the comment off, saying, "We weren't born in the '30s.")
Most importantly, there's perfect harmony
New dynamics are tough to test out, but the first look at the new season feels less like a timid step into the future and more like a leap into a new era for "The Voice."
Cyrus and Keys make sure their musicianship shines brighter than everything else. (They even do an impromptu duet with a contestant and have a fun performance with Shelton and Levine.) And that could make for a pretty harmonious season.
Season 11 of "The Voice" premieres September 19.
