Kim in, Kylie's 'beau' Tyga out
Khloe Kardashian "celebrated life" with French Montana last night.
The 30-year-old reality star further fuelled speculation she has reunited with the rapper after attending his 30th Birthday Party Powered by CIROC Pineapple in Los Angeles, a few hours after gushing about her "baby boy" and the "timeless memories" they have created.
Posting a picture of herself and French on a beach in partial silhouette, she wrote on Instagram: "Happy birthday baby boy! In only a short amount of time we have created timeless memories,
"Happy birthday to a man who genuinely lives life to its fullest. 'What's understood doesn't need to be explained' @frenchmontana I can't wait to celebrate life with you tonight! You deserve it!! (sic)".

She tweeed: "I guess some people don't have genuine love for people anymore.
"Blows my mind how critical human beings are these days. Love is love! Some of yall need a hug!"

On Thursday, she posted a picture of a piece entitled 'Closure' which seemed to admit the pair didn't say goodbye when they split.
The quote read: "Closure: Like time suspended, a wound unmended - you and I. We had no ending, said no good-bye. For all my life, I'll wonder why."

The rapper donned one of Olivier Rousteing's designs and paired the jacket with his signature leather jogging pants, while his lady opted to wear a dress version from the Spring 2015 collection.

The reality star looked gorgeous as she wore her dark hair in flowing waves over her shoulders and flashed a bit of cleavage in her evening jacket.
Kanye, 37, was outfitted in his signature leather trousers, suede boots, and a deep V-neck shirt with a gold chain hanging over his chest.
Lamar ready to divorce Khloe

Lamar Odom is ready to divorce Khloe Kardashian but is waiting for her to give him the green light to sign the papers.
The former NBA player - who split from Khloe, 30, last December - is reportedly ready to sign the legal documents ending their marriage when instructed to do so by the 'Keeping Up With The Kardashians' star.
Despite filing court papers to dissolve her four-year marriage to Lamar, 34, after months of rumors he was addicted to cocaine and cheated on her with multiple women, the brunette beauty is yet to make "a move" and push for the proceedings to go ahead.
A source told HollywoodLife.com: "He's not hiding from Khloe. She could make it official today. All she has to do is tell him and he will make it happen. But that conversation ain't happened."
Lamar - who has previously been accused of refusing to sign the divorce papers in the hopes of repairing their marriage - is still keen for a reconciliation with Khloe but insists he is happy for the divorce to go ahead if its what she wants.
The source said: "Khloe knows where he is. She just hasn't made a move or told him flat out what she wants to do. Lamar wants her with him but only if she wants to be. It's got to be mutual. If not, he's cool with letting her go for good."
The claims are a stark contrast to earlier this year when it was reported the reality TV star couldn't even get in contact with her estranged spouse.
Sources said at the time: "Khloé can't even get in touch with him right now.
"He refuses to sign the divorce papers."

Pic: Bang
The pregnant reality star hit out at her long-term partner and father to her three children after he decided to leave their property in the Hamptons to host a party in New York City.
On the season premiere of 'Kourtney and Khloe Take The Hamptons', the 35-year-old television personality tried to convince Scott to stay at home with their children - Mason, four, and Penelope, two - but the businessman was more preoccupied with clubbing.
Pic: Bang
He said: "I'm not going to not do appearances. It's my job."
She argued: "And you haven't evolved. It's humiliating, embarrassing, pathetic. I think if you go to the city you should just stay there."
Pic: Bang
When her partner - who has previously had therapy to deal with his issues surrounding alcohol - said that many people are able to manage both elements of their lives, Kourtney said: "Great. Go hang out with those people. Go find a sloppy, drunk girlfriend. You need to face the facts. If you want to die, then you can continue to act this way."
When Scott returned from the gig, a security guard told him he wasn't allowed on the property, but eventually let him talk to Kourtney, who was standing on their balcony.
She warned:"Unless you want to be sober, then I don't want you here.
Pic: Bang
"People die because of these kind of issues. If you want to die then you can continue to act this way. Become somebody that could take care of us because you can't even take care of yourself."
Scott refused to listen to her stern words and stormed off.

Kim turns skeleton, North all furry
Kim Kardashian takes her Halloween dressing very seriously.
Kim revealed her first Halloween look in an Instagram snap. The beauty dressed in a skintight skeleton costume, already hinting it was the first of many to come, captioning it, 'Look #1'.
She showed off her famous curves in a form-fitting black bodysuit while looking barely recognisable in elaborate face make-up.
A white skeleton was painted onto her leotard as she stood in what looked to be a backyard.
The star's face was painted white and her eyes rimmed in thick black paint.
She added black stripes to her white lips and black paint on her nose and cheeks to give the impression of a skull.
But some else stole the show for the day.
North West's choice of outfit couldn't be cuter - with the one-year-old dressing as a furry skunk for the festivities.
Doting mother Kim Kardashian shared a snap of her daughter on Friday morning, as the toddler rushed past her in grandmother Kris Jenner's hallway.
"A skunk is on the loose!!!!" wrote Kim, alongside the picture of bare-footed North.
A later snap showed Kim's daughter at the foot of the stairs, her head covered by the skunk costume.
"My little stinker is waiting to show daddy her costume," wrote besotted Kim.
"Halloween has started early this morning."
Kanye's 'North hopes'
Kim Kardashian and Kanye West have high hopes for their daughter, 16-month-old North West, and reportedly want her to be the next Albert Einstein.
The couple - who have 16-month-old North together - are hoping their daughter will grow up to do a job that she loves.
A source close to the pair told HollywoodLife.com: "What they're hoping for as parents is that [North] will find something that she loves doing every single day and, by default, make money from it.

"Whether it's being a writer, a composer, an artist, a teacher, an inventor of the next big idea, whatever - it will never be work for her because she's privileged enough to only do things that she loves and enjoys."
The source added: "[Kanye] wants her to live the life and become one of the greats like him, or Emily Dickinson, or Einstein, or Chopin, or Rembrandt. This is the life they want her to have and she will."
Pic: Bang
The 37-year-old rapper - who married the 34-year-old 'Keeping Up With The Kardashians' star earlier this year - is reportedly so keen for North to become a prodigy that he spends a lot of his time educating her with poetry and classical music.
The source said: "[Kanye] reads poems to her and plays all types of music for her including scores from the most renowned composers.
"He loves it when she scribbles on the paper in her bedroom or when she speaks her own baby language.
"He lets her explore life to the fullest because he wants her mind to know no boundaries."

Why Kim is so 'emotional'
Kim Kardashian West was reportedly "emotional" when her and Kanye West took a trip back to the place where he proposed a year ago.
Kanye West - who asked Kim to marry him on her birthday last year - surprised his wife with a trip to the Bay Area to watch the San Francisco Giants to celebrate the anniversary of their engagement.
The couple attended the AT&T Park last year and it is reportedly where Kanye popped the question.
An eye-witness told HollywoodLife.com: "She was emotional most of the time and was in the bathroom in the private sky box for an inning or two.
"She was crying tears of joy, of happiness and didn't want people to see her being an emotional wreck.
"More importantly, because you know how vain she is, she didn't want anyone seeing her makeup run all down her face."
Kim, 34, and 37-year-old Kanye - who have 16-month-old North West together - watched as the game was won by the Giants, who beat the Kansas City Royals 5 - 0.
Kim was treated to a first class experience at the game, but according to the source, she was more focused on remembering the couple's trip there a year ago.
The source continued: "She just wanted some private time to herself as she remembered the engagement to her husband and to the man she plans to spend the rest of her life with."

"I think I'm just so proud that my sister has such a strong work ethic and she's really achieved what she set out to do and she made it happen for herself. That's what makes me the most proud."
However, it doesn't seem like Kim, who has 16-month-old daughter North with her husband Kanye West, will be attending many more of Kendall's shows as the youngster recently admitted she doesn't like Kim watching her when she's working.
Kendall said previously: "She [Kim] called me before [one of the shows] and was like, 'Hey I was invited to the show, I just wanted to let you know. Do you want me to come?' and I was like, 'No.'"

"At one point though Kanye chided Kim for constantly checking her phone - but, she just laughed it off, and held his hand again."
Kim, who has daughter North, 15-months, with Kanye, also shared a photograph of a sunrise from their location on Instagram on Wednesday, with the caption: "Good morning #BdaySurpriseGettaway"

Who is 'a hot, toxic, mess'?
Kanye West allegedly thinks Scott Disick is "a hot, toxic, mess" and has been partying "like the world is going to end."
Pic: Bang
The 'New Slaves' rapper is reportedly very concerned about his pregnant sister-in-law, as he thinks her long-term boyfriend, who was hospitalised for alcohol poisoning earlier this year, is "a hot, toxic, mess" and is partying "like the world is going to end."
Pic: Bang
A source close to the 37-year-old star, who has 15-month-old daughter North with wife Kim Kardashian West, 33, told HollywoodLife.com: "Kanye would never leave Kim when she was pregnant, unless it was to bring money back home to the family.
Pic: Instagram
"Big money. He didn't leave Kim alone when she was pregnant unless he was clocking six figures."
The insider said the protective star doesn't understand why Scott, who already has son Mason, four, and daughter Penelope, two, with Kourtney, wants to party without his girlfriend, 35, as his philosophy is "when your girl is pregnant, guess what -- you're pregnant, too."
'Keeping Up with the Kardashians' beauty Kourtney recently told Scott, 31, on the show that she wanted him to sober up or leave.
Pic: Instagram
She said: "Unless you want to be sober, then I don't want you here.
"If you want to die then you can continue to act this way."
Scott has been struggling since the tragic deaths of his mother, Bonnie, last October and father Jeffrey less than three months later in early January.
