Khloe Kardashian's Cool With Her Mom Calling Her Fat: So maybe it was Kris who forced poor Khlo-Khlo into that kaftan kover-up! Khloe Kardashian told Cosmo that, while she would've immediately fired any manager who told her to shed the lbs... it's a lot tougher to fire a momager. She adds that Kris "believes in [her daughters] more than [they] believe in [them]selves." That's sweet. Though not as sweet as, say, just one more chocolate chip cookie. {ONTD} Proenza Schouler's First Stand Alone Store Will Be Located... on Madison Ave Between 68th and 69th! Construction workers confirmed that the spot will be the location for the designer's first brick and mortar shop (opening later this year), right across the street from Dolce and Gabbana and just down the block from Jil Sander.

Quel dance disaster! {Telegraph}
