KIM AND KANYE GET THEIR OWN BALMAIN CAMPAIGN

Kim Kardashian and Kanye West (aka The World's Most Talked-About Couple) are ending 2014 with a bang. The duo have been cast in Balmain's spring 2015 menswear campaign, and of course, Kim has already taken to Instagram to post a preview.

Given Balmain creative director Olivier Rousteing's affection for the couple and the Kardashian-Jenner clan, his decision to cast North West's parents doesn't come as a huge surprise.

"Together, they represent love, beauty and diversity — they are the new modernity," Rousteing said of shooting the couple. "This is more than a campaign, it expresses something beyond clothes — it is a celebration of love and friendship. This is a new statement for Balmain."

Billboard Woman of the Year is Taylor Swift

Taylor Swift had an important message to get out when she recieved Billboard's Woman of the Year honour. She's continuing her fight to find a new way forward with respect to the industry, selling albums and streaming her music.

"I've taken this year to stand up for my value as a songwriter, as a businesswoman and a content creator," she explained. "I'm very well aware the music industry is changing, and it will continue to change. I'm open to that change and progress. I'm not open to the financial model that is currently in place. I really believe that we in the music industry can work together to bond technology with integrity. And I think we can teach a younger generation about an investment in music, not just the ephemeral consumption of it. I think that there has to be a way for streaming or any future way we access music to fairly compensate the writers."

Taylor went on to say "The greatest moment of the year for me was when my fans went out and proved that if you provide them with a bold statement and pour your life into an album, they'll buy it. I want to thank Billboard for deciding to make me Woman of the Year for the second time...I really just feel like we need to continue to try and offer something to a younger generation of musicians. Because somewhere right now your future Woman of the Year is probably sitting in a piano lesson or in a girls choir. Today, right now, we need to take care of her. Thank you."

Lady Gaga stuns as she arrives at her closing Party in Paris!

Lady Gaga blew everyone away as she arrived at her After Show Party at the 'VIP ROOM' Club last night in her most stunning outfit ever!

The 27-year-old singer stepped out wearing a giant silver holographic star, which had more than 20 long inflatable points, as she partied into the small hours in Paris overnight.

The star was celebrating her last concert in the French capital as part of the European leg of her 'ArtRAVE: The ARTPOP Ball' world tour.

Her costume posed many practical issues, such as how on earth she could walk in it or even fit through the door frame of the VIP Room club. She was able to deflate the costume and seemed to be capable of taking a few steps if she crouched down low.

The outfit was designed by 21-year-old Central St Martins graduate Jack Irving: "The dress is supposed to transform, that was the concept behind it" he told the Press. "I envisioned creating a glitzy alien sea urchin showgirl that transforms in front of the audiences eyes."

Gaga, who along with her current jazz collaborator Tony Bennett has starred in the Christmas advertising campaign for H&M, was later spotted leaving the club in a seashell bra and embellished pants.

Taylor wins Dick Clark Award for Excellence at the 2014 AMAs

Taylor Swift certainly deserved the Dick Clark Award for Excellence presented for the very first time by the legendary Diva Diana Ross at last nights American Music Awards in LA.

“When I was really young, when I first started in the industry, it was Dick Clark who made is possible for us to be on radio and TV,” Diana said. Swift gushed about Ross, calling her a woman who “stood up for herself in a time when it was not popular for a woman to stand up for herself.”

In accepting the inaugural award, Swift gave shout outs to her fans, referencing her album listening parties, interacting with them via social media, and how flattered she was that they wanted a glimpse into her life.

"What you did by going out and investing in music and albums is you are saying that you believe in the same thing that I believe in: that music is valuable and music should be consumed in albums and albums should be consumed as art and appreciated," she said, furthering her anti-Spotify agenda.

Of course, it wasn’t the 2014 AMAs’ first taste of Taylor. She opened the evening with the first-ever performance of “Blank Space,” which currently leads the Billboard Hot 100.Girl Power!
