Rihanna and Chris Brown spent New Year's in Bed!

Looks like Rihanna and Chris Brown celebrated New Year's together... Under the covers.

The controversial couple kept it low key on NYE, but couldn't pass up the chance to inform people subtly on Instagram that they woke up together the next day.

Rihanna's first message of the new year? "Good morning! Still haven't slept lol #hello2013!" She posted a picture of her eyes peering out from under a comforter.

Not just any comforter.

The very same black-and-white polka dot comforter appears in Brown's Instagram. Titled "Mornings," his photo showed a view of the pad from his bed.

And there you go.

Rihanna and Chris Brown's rekindled romance may be "Nobody's Business," but they certainly seem to be going out of their way to make it everyone's.

Beyonce 'Barely Spoke To Kim Kardashian' At Festival

Kim Kardashian might be 'desperate' to get to know Beyonce and get into her inner circle, but her plans aren't quite working out as Beyonce seemed to pretty much ignore her on Saturday night.

The Keeping Up With The Kardashians star attended the Made In America festival in Philadelphia this weekend, as did Beyonce, as the ladies were both there to support their men Jay-Z and Kanye West, but Beyonce “didn't even acknowledge” Kim until the end, according to a new report.

“Kim and Beyonce barely spoke to each other,” a source told Confidenti@l, before adding: “They were on opposite sides of the stage. Beyonce didn’t even acknowledge [Kardashian] was there until the concert was almost over.”

Kanye was one of Jay-Z's special guests during his performance at the festival, and is not only one of the '99 Problems' rapper's best pals, but he's also reportedly Blue Ivy's godfather.

But according to the source, it wasn't just Beyonce who went cold, as they said: “(Kardashian) didn’t make any efforts to go speak to Beyonce either,” the source explained, revealing that the 31-year-old spent a lot of time with her buddy Jonathan Cheban and Kanye.

Kim was allegedly 'uncomfortable” when the pair “made small talk in the dressing room, but you could tell Kim was uncomfortable. She clung onto Kanye the entire time and didn't say much,” the source revealed.

They also added: “(Kardashian) was talking to Jonathan, and Kanye was talking to Jay-Z and Beyonce.”

Kim did praise Jay-Z for his set, but it sounds as if he had food on his mind.

There's been rumours of the girl's tense friendship for awhile now with B reportedly slamming Kim for trying to "buy her friendship" after the reality star gave Beyonce's daughter an expensive bracelet back in July.

The insider has revealed that Beyonce called on chef Anthony DiRienzo from STARR Restaurants (Buddakkan, Morimoto) to prepare her meals, which allegedly included a chicken quesadilla with no cheese and watermelon tomato salad.

They loved the nosh so much that they ordered some take-away meals for their private jet on Sunday.

Vogue Café and GQ Bar to open in Dubai Mall

Dubai Mall is preparing to welcome the Vogue café and a GQ bar, both titles belonging to Condé Nast.

Diversification is the name of the game over at Condé Nast. The international publishing house responsible for Vogue , Vanity Fair , Glamour and GQ already has designs on a fashion college , and is now set to conquer the Middle East with a Vogue café and GQ bar.

A new Vogue Café (there is already one in Russia) is slated to launch in Dubai by the end of the year, but this being glossy fashion bible Vogue , it will be housed inside the world's largest shoe store.

Level Shoe District, a 96,000 sq ft luxury retail space, will stock more than 250 shoe brands and is situated in Dubai Mall at the foot of the world's tallest skyscraper - the 828 metre-high Burj Khalifa.

"The expatriate community and the local Emirati community are very conscious of brands," said Stuart Nielsen, director of Conde Nast's restaurant division, which was launched in 2010. "People always love to eat and drink, and we see an opportunity because they love fashion."

The Vogue Café will not serve alcohol, but a hotel-based bar inspired by its men's title, GQ , is being plotted for launch in Dubai early next year, would.

The company is planning to open another GQ Bar in Istanbul this year, and has signed deals for Condé Nast establishments in Bangkok and Singapore, Nielsen said. It is also considering opening cafés in Mideast cities closer to Dubai, including Kuwait City and the Emirati capital, Abu Dhabi.

Kim Kardashian To Take Back Seat In Reality TV Show?

Kim Kardashian is allegedly 'embarrassed' by her high-profile family life.

According to Heat magazine, the 31-year old is having second thoughts regarding how much of her life is featured on TV show, Keeping Up With The Kardashians.

The publication claims Kimmy may feature less on the show in the future, especially now her romance with rapper Kanye West is going from strength-to-strength.

A source revealed: "Kim has secretly been getting embarrassed about how much her family share and there's no way Kanye would allow the intimate moments of their relationship to be filmed.

"He is happy to be in the background, but he thinks some things should be kept private."

The insider went on to state that Yeezy would rather market himself and Kim as a couple, instead of being heavily associated with her mother Kris Jenner and the rest of the Kardashian clan.

"Kanye is thinking of their brand as a duo now, rather than her family's. He thinks some of what she's put her name to is tacky and has already advised her to say no to certain things."

Yeezy's plans are said to have angered Kardashian's mum Kris - who is also the socialite's manager - with the mole adding: "The whole empire is based around Kim and it is her celebrity status that drives the brand.

"For her to turn her back on it would not only be a devastating blow to the family, but most of all to her mum, Kris, too."

Earlier this week, it was also claimed that West has set aside $1million to celebrate Kim's 32nd birthday - with gifts including a private holiday to Pine Clay, a private island in the Turks and Caicos groups.

Kate Moss and George Michael take their friendship to the cover of Vogue Paris

Neighbours, friends, and now cover stars. Kate Moss and BFF George Michael land the October 2012 cover of Vogue Paris.

George and Kate, sitting in a tree, K.I.S.S.I.N.G. Well, probably not the last bit, but the celebrity pair - who are also neighbours in London's chi-chi Highgate Village, really do seem to be the best of friends at the moment.

After Moss moaned that being left out of Michael's Freedom 90 supermodel video was her greatest career regret, Michael promptly made amends by giving Croydon's finest a starring role in his latest single 'White Light' in which she flips a coin to decide the singer's fate.

George later told Magic FM that he chose Kate because she reminds him of his late mum, who the singer was extremely close to. "Every boy who has lost their mum thinks his mum was the most beautiful woman in the world. Why not ask someone who is considered the most beautiful woman in the world in many ways to be that figure?" Welling up here already…

Now the pair have had their love-in committed to fashion history thanks to a Vogue Paris cover and spread shot by renowned photographer, Mario Testino.

We haven't had a peek between the sheets yet, and the cover line 'The pop star falls for the top model, by Mario Testino' doesn't give much away, but this much we do know: A bronzed and bearded George looks in fine fettle after his brush with death last year, and is busting an altogether much more acceptable outfit than the world of leather festival he showed up in at the Olympics Closing Ceremony, while Moss still scrubs up well for the camera (though we would LOVE to get a glimpse of the re-touching bill).

Did Chris Brown get a tattoo of Rihanna's battered face?

Just when we thought naff rapper Chris Brown couldn't get any more offensive (his crimes against fashion are enough to pique our gag reflexes let alone his prosecution for beating up ex-girlfriend Rihanna in 2009), the utter moron has lowered even his own critically depleted standards.

Brown recently unveiled his new 'ink', a charming tattoo adorning his neck.

Now, what would be the most brainless thing you could get permanently etched on your neck if you were a convicted abuser. Hmm, let's see… how about a picture of a battered woman's face? Not just any woman though, not controversial enough. How about one that looks just like the image of Rihanna's swollen face that hit the internet in the aftermath of the attack which left her with a split lip and bruised eyes? Genius!

Despite inexplicably managing to rebuild his career since his conviction, (one which as far as we can detect is built on instantly forgettable nonsense), clocking up number one singles and albums and even the odd Grammy Award along the way, Brown still seems intent upon making the whole world continue to hate him.

He, of course, denies that the tattoo is Rihanna telling TMZ that it's just a "random woman", while his tattoo artist Peter Koskela told EW.com that the image was inspired by a M.A.C cosmetics design of a skull associated with the Mexican celebration of the Day of the Dead (see, moronic) which Brown asked him to convert to a tattoo.

Kate Moss saves George Michael’s life

British supermodel Kate Moss makes a life-saving cameo in George Michael's latest music video.

In the words of Gabrielle, dreams can come true - especially if you're Kate Moss and that dream involves George Michael.

The singer took to his Twitter page to confirm rumours that Kate had filmed a cameo in the video for his new single, White Light , which is said to be all about his recent battle with pneumonia.

"Oh and by the way, in the video, a certain supermodel (Kate) saves my life. We shot two endings, one with the heimlich menouvre...and one where she gives me full on CPR. Mouth to mouth. Not really," he tweeted. "But honestly, she is my saviour, on film at least."

It's not the first music video Moss has appeared in - she pole-danced in the video for The White Stripes' 'I Just Don't Know What to Do With Myself' in 2003 and also appeared in Primal Scream's Some Velvet Morning video.

Madonna Blows Fans Away after Keeping them Waiting

More than 22,000 Madonna fans braved the heat last night to see their idol's first performance in the Arab world.

US pop icon Madonna (2L) performs on stage during her first ever concert in the Gulf as part of her MDNA world tour at Abu Dhabi's Yas Island Stadium on June 3, 2012. An estimated 25,000 fans cheered and screamed as the Material Girl finally appeared on stage more than two hours late, wearing a skin-tight black outfit from her "Girl Gone Wild" album. (AFP)

The entertainer, who is known for her daring and extravagant performances, was as controversial as ever as she took to the stage at du Arena on Yas Island.

The 53-year-old singer kicked off the show, the first of two concerts in the capital, to the sound of a chiming church bell and dancers clad in red monks' cloaks. The five-minute intro was dripping with religious iconography as a massive gold-coloured thurible, teeming with smoke, swung over the heads of the audience. Madonna appeared on stage wearing a black veil, gold crown and a skin-tight black catsuit, after pretending to smash a window with a large rifle.

The singer, who was bursting with energy and looking fit as ever, started her set with the upbeat Girl Gone Wild, from her new album, accompanied by male dancers who had thrown off their cloaks and were dancing shirtless.
