What happens in Las Vegas apparently doesn't always stay in Las Vegas - at least if you happen to be Calvin Harris and Taylor Swift, who were apparently spotted getting cosy at his show at Hakkasan this week. If you cast you mind back to the BRITs last month, you'll probably remember Swifty and Calvin were rumoured to have been spotted getting friendly down in the sand at the Universal Music after party and apparently for their second date, he invited her to join him in Vegas.  Unfortunately Taylor apparently happened to be 2,452 miles away, which might be a problem for most of us but not for Calvin, who reportedly sent a private jet to pick her and her pals up just so they could all party together. "Calvin actually chartered the jet to fly Taylor and her mates over to see him in Las Vegas," an insider apparently told heat. "Ellie, Selena and HAIM all joined her for the trip and they had a great time. "After the gig finished, they partied for a bit before Taylor and Calvin left together. All Taylor's friends approve of them getting close," they continued. "Calvin's a really nice guy, so they're just keeping their fingers crossed and seeing how it goes." Although Calvin was dating model Aarika Woolf, it's rumoured that they split up last week, which funnily enough appears to coincide with Tayor, Ellie and the HAIM gals' trip to Vegas. "After his split with Aarika, Calvin's ready to start having fun again, the source added. "He loved getting Taylor over to party with him in Las Vegas." |

Think your schedule is jam-packed? You should sneak a peek at Karlie Kloss' day planner! The 22-year-old is without a doubt one of the busiest women in the fashion world. She may not be the highest paid supermodel—that title still belongs to Gisele Bündchen—but she's well on her way after landing gigs with L'Oréal Paris, Kate Spade New York, Marc Jacobs, Joe Fresh and Jason Wu. And that's just for Spring 2015!  And, you may have noticed, when she's not shooting campaigns she's dominating runways. The former Victoria's Secret Angel walked in 13 fall-winter 2015 fashion shows, all around the world. Impressed? You should be. But striking a pose and strutting aren't her only talents. Kloss also started a line of baked goods (all proceeds go to charity), ran a half marathon in Paris last month and become a student at New York University recently. So when the offer to sit down with the 6'1'' beauty came around, we jumped at the chance. Literally we jumped because who knows the next time she'll have free time to chat. Plus, there's a reason Karlie has so many BFFs (yes, including Taylor Swift ): she gives a good tête-à-tête. You travel a lot (like, a lot, a lot) do you have any beauty tricks for long plane rides? I love using a deep hair treatment for long, overnight plane rides. L'Oréal Paris Advanced Haircare Power Moisture Rush Mask is amazing. When I eventually arrive at the hotel, I rinse it out and I'm good to go! When I travel for shoots and Fashion Week, there is usually a lot of styling going on, so I like to treat my hair well when I can. What's your favorite method for keeping in touch with your friends? Text, email, FaceTime, a good old fashion phone call? All of the above. I also use Instagram to keep in touch. It's cool to be in Paris for fashion week and get to see what my sister is up to in San Francisco. Speaking of Paris Fashion Week, you were just there with Kendall Jenner and Gigi Hadid. Being that you're a veteran in the supermodel game, have you given them any career advice? I don't think these two need my advice. They're both killing it right now!  You and BFF Taylor Swift have famously shared a runway (Victoria's Secret) and a major magazine cover (Vogue)—do you also share wardrobes? Who doesn't share with her friends? That's what friends are for! Ain't that the truth! OK, well, what spring fashion trends are you excited about? I love that the 70s are back—it was such a cool time in fashion history with fringes, textures, patterns and flares. My mom's handed down lots of beautiful bags and jewelry from the 70s—they're some of my favorite pieces! |

Taylor Swift has a very good reasons for quickly snapping up new websites TaylorSwift.porn and TaylorSwift.adult. She bought them so that neither you, nor anyone on her long list of ex-lovers could buy them first. The purchase is part of a larger controversial practice called “domain squatting” and it just became a much bigger issue for celebrities and corporations.  CNN reports that, “In 2011, the nonprofit Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers decided to expand the number of generic top-level domains, or gTLDs, such as .com and .net. There were 22 at that time and now there are over 547 new gTLDs on the Web, with new suffixes released every month.” Among those new gTLDs are some salacious options like .porn, .sucks, and .adult so ICANN is allowing celebrities and corporations (basically anyone with a brand or trademark to protect), to get first dibs on the more controversial gTLDs before they become available to any and everyone on June 1st.  Though the gesture of allowing the Taylor Swifts of the world first crack at domains like TaylorSwift.porn seems charitable, it’s part of a problematic “domain squatting” practice that predates the expansion of gTLDs. Domain or cybersquatting is the practice of registering a domain with the intent of profiting off someone with a brand to protect. The gist is celebrities don’t really have an option not to buy. If Taylor Swift doesn’t buy TaylorSwift.sucks, who will? Haters who are gonna hate, hate, hate, hate, hate that’s who.  Steve Miholovich, SVP of marketing at Safenames, a domain registrar and advisory firm for websites, told CNN that most brands are compelled to purchase controversial domain names as their only option to protect their name. If left unpurchased, Miholovich says, “People who have bad intentions are going to do what they’re going to do and there’s nothing to prevent that.” |

Taylor Swift already has earned countless accolades in her decadelong career. Now, at the age of 25, she has added yet another distinction — she’s the youngest artist to have an exhibit in the main gallery of the Grammy Museum in Los Angeles. And her youthful appeal is attracting a new generation of museumgoers. “We’re seeing lots of moms and daughters, aunts and their nieces,” said Nwaka Onwusa, associate curator of the Grammy Museum. “We recently had a troop of 300 Girl Scouts come out to see it.”  “The Taylor Swift Experience,” which runs through May 10, documents Swift’s extraordinary rise from a curly-tressed country strummer (home videos of Swift playing music as a child are especially noteworthy) to a pop superstar. Onwusa made several trips to Nashville to tour the Swift archives, which are kept in a hangar, and worked closely with Swift’s family to procure items such as childhood photos. The main focal point is the “impact wall,” a massive display of glossy laminates of Swift’s appearances on magazine covers from around the world.  The collection of 85-90 pieces in “The Taylor Swift Experience” includes Swift’s midnight blue Kaufman Franco dress from her 2010 appearance on the Grammy show; a display case of outfits usually worn while out bopping around town; the pom-poms from her chipper “Shake It Off” video; and handwritten lyrics to “22” and “White Horse.”  Here’s a fun fact for trivia buffs: Swift’s handwritten lyrics for the song “Tim McGraw” and a pair of her  boots were the first artifacts given to the Grammy Museum when it opened in 2008. “It’s an education on a whole different level,” Onwusa said. “For the girl who is already a crazy Taylor fan, to see her own writings is really inspirational.” Swift fans also can enter the adjoining Clive Davis Theater, where a 25-minute video overview of her career plays in grand celebration.  Open 11:30 a.m.-7:30 p.m. Mondays-Fridays and 10 a.m.-7:30 p.m. Saturdays-Sundays. $12.95 (discounts available for seniors, college students, military personnel and children ages 6-17). Grammy Museum, 800 W. Olympic Blvd., Los Angeles. 1-888-929-7849, grammymuseum.org.  |

Rumors have been circulating about the potential coupling of music giants Taylor Swift and Calvin Harris, but new evidence might be taking it from a rumor to reality. The two attended a Kenny Chesney concert in Nashville this week where they were spotted acting pretty coupled up. A concert goer claims the two were kissing out in the open for all to see.  “They walked out beside the stage right before Kenny Chesney went on stage, and they were holding hands. The next time we saw them, Taylor was dancing. Then, she leaned into Calvin, and he had his arms around her, and they were kissing.” Other people at the concert also posted photos of the 24 year old singer and the 31 year old DJ and producer holding hands. Another source spoke to E News and claims that the couple has actually been spending time together since February after meeting at the Brit Awards but have working hard to keep things under wraps. “He is taken with her. They connected properly at the Brits [Awards], and it’s been going on since then,” the source said. Swift and Harris were also spotted shopping at Whole Foods together earlier in the week. As of yet neither of them have confirmed the rumors about their blossoming romance.  Taylor Swift has been pretty open about the difficulties of dating in her position, and also that she hasn’t found great love as of yet. The popstar shared her thoughts on the matter with People Magazine. "I’m not going to compromise the happiness and independence that I’ve found for just anybody. The idea of a date gives me a partial panic attack! It includes 40 paparazzi cameras shooting through windows at us, and that’s not relaxing or alluring for me. That makes me want to crawl under the couch and hide! But I’m fine! I have two cats. That’s all I need.” |
