Kimye's relationship has always been the subject of plenty of gossip and speculation, but after a series of high-profile Twitter meltdowns and the painfully long and convoluted roll-out of Kanye's new album The Life of PabloWest's erratic behavior has gossip mags speculating that the two are on the path to splitsville.
So far though, there doesn't seem to be anything amiss in the Kardashian-West home. Speaking about her home life to Glamour last June, Kardashian West said, "North has taught me patience. There's nothing I wouldn't do for her. And nothing I wouldn't do for my husband. She's empowered us to want to be the best parents and the best spouses.


Chelsea and Leicester snatch dramatic late wins - and Atletico pile misery on Real Madrid

Watford satisfied with a point

Eddie Howe:
"In the second half we had some wonderful opportunities but it's a clean sheet so we can't complain.
"The disappointment is we didn't take those chances but it could be a valuable point for us.
"I thought we should have had a penalty - it happened quickly - so I'm disappointed it wasn't given but the referee had a good game and that was a big cal

The Leicester locomotive keeps steaming on!

Leonardo Ulloa celebrates scoring the winner for Leicester
If they are to win the title, there will inevitably be matches Leicester need to grind out. This was one of them. A goal by the substitute Leaonardo Ulloa with only a couple of minutes left in the game saw off a game and resolute Norwich City to secure three points. At this point of the season it little matters how it was achieved. All that is important was this was a win that keeps Claudio Ranieri’s team safely at the top of the table.
In the search for Premier League salvation, an unambitious Norwich had come to the Kingpower to smother and stifle, to look for breakaway scraps, a point at the leaders as satisfactory a result as they could hope for in the run-in. It is something Leicester will have to get used to as they play a succession of the desperate in their last eleven games. More recently at Manchester City and Arsenal they were the side obliged to sit back and soak up pressure, obliged to play the underdog. And for much of this game they seemed non-plussed by the sudden role reversal.

US election 2016: On the campaign bus with Hillary Clinton

With the rise of social media, it's easy to feel immersed in the primary races for US President. But as Kim Ghattas found when reporting on Hillary Clinton, there's no substitute for travelling alongside the candidate.
The podium was ready in the opulent, carpeted ballroom at the Las Vegas Caesar Hotel and Casino. The Hillary Clinton campaign logo was affixed to the lectern.
The Democratic caucus was already under way across Nevada, but was the stage set for a victory or a concession speech?
The rally had been billed as a simple caucus day event. For days the Clinton team had been lowering expectations. Then barely an hour after the caucus closed, a tweet from Clinton herself: "To everyone who turned out in every corner of Nevada with determination and heart: This is your win. Thank you. -H"
Soon after, Clinton campaign staff arrived in the ballroom, hugging and embracing each other.
"Some may have doubted us but we never doubted each other," Hillary Clinton told her supporters. There had been doubt for weeks, from a razor-thin victory in Iowa on 1 February to a big loss in New Hampshire on 9 February.
But just like that, the mood in the Clinton campaign turned. So did the headlines.

Girls on the bus

Much has changed since Timothy Crouse wrote The Boys on the Bus, his now famous chronicle of the press corps' life on the 1972 campaign trail.
Women now dominate the press corps following Clinton. We carry laptops, not typewriters. There isn't always a press bus, and not everyone gets on. You can make your own way to events, and be notified of changes to the schedule by email.
Thanks to the 24/7 news machine and constant social media reports, anyone can follow closely and feel like they're in the bubble.
But there is nothing more dramatic than observing the facial expressions of campaign aides in person as they try to project confidence, and to watch the mood turn when things feel like they're slipping away or when victory is within reach. Or when insiders admit they were in the dark until the last minute.
Until Fox News called it [for Hillary Clinton], we had no idea what to expect," campaign communications director Jennifer Palmieri told me in Las Vegas. "HUGE" sigh of relief, another aide wrote to me in an email
Six months ago, Clinton was the prohibitive favourite. She led in national polls, she led in Iowa. And then Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders turned out to be a tougher challenger than anyone expected

Kesha's lawyer has shared a short clip of her singing a new song, thanking her fans.

Kesha's lawyer has shared a short clip of her singing a new song, thanking her fans.
"I don't know where I would be, without you. I don't know what I would do," she sings to the camera, eyes closed, as a guitar strums slow chords in the background.
The song has a completely different sound from the pop hits she's known for.
"A special thanks to everyone who has had her back #animals" Mark Geragos tweeted.

Kesha is involved in a lawsuit with music producer Dr Luke, whose real name is Lukasz Sebastian Gottwald, and has been for two years.
She is signed to Dr Luke's Kemosabe Records, which is owned by Sony

She claimed the 41-year-old drugged, sexually abused and psychologically tormented her.
He denies the claims, saying she made up the story in an attempt to ruin his reputation to try to get out of her recording contract.
He has called the allegations malicious lies and "defamatory"
I didn’t rape Kesha and I have never had sex with her. Kesha and I were friends for many years and she was like my little sister.
Sony has said is "not in a position to terminate the contractual relationship between Luke and Kesha".
"Sony has made it possible for Kesha to record without any connection, involvement or interaction with Luke whatsoever," a company lawyer added, according to the New York Times.
"Sony is doing everything it can to support the artist in these circumstances, but is legally unable to terminate the contract to which it is not a party".
A judge refused to let her leave her deal with the Kemosabe Records.
Taylor Swift donated $250,000 in a show of solidarity, Adele said she supported Kesha at the Brits and Halsey even gave her a nod in the Radio 1 Live Lounge on Thursday

Facebook's Mark Zuckerberg says the social network needs to get better at cracking down on hate speech against migrants.

Facebook's Mark Zuckerberg says the social network needs to get better at cracking down on hate speech against migrants.
He identified them as a group that needed protection during a public "town hall" session in Berlin.
Around 1,000 young people were invited, many of them students.
Germany's history with the Nazi party means there are strict laws around the protection of minorities.
Facebook has faced criticism in Germany for failing to police anti-immigration posts.
Their ministry of justice has said the social network acts quicker to remove sexual imagery than it does racist messages.
It was reported in January that German authorities were working on a deal with Facebook, Google and Twitter to make sure the law took priority over company policy.
When asked to clarify Facebook's position directly, Zuckerberg said: "There's not a place for this kind of content on Facebook. Learning more about German culture and law has led us to change the approach," he said.
He did not specify how he would stop this sort of material, but added: "Hate speech against migrants is an important part of what we now have no tolerance for on Facebook."
Germany receives more refugees and asylum seekers than any other EU country. Many of those have come from war-torn Syria.

Boris Johnson urges Cabinet ministers who backed In campaign to 'think again'

Boris Johnson has issued an appeal to Cabinet ministers backing the campaign to stay in the European Union to “think again” and reconsider their positions.
In an interview with The Telegraph, Mr Johnson warned that David Cameron’s “emergency brake” on migrant benefits will do nothing to reduce the numbers of foreigners coming to the UK.
In his first detailed comments since announcing that he was backing a “Brexit”, the Mayor of London hailed the "extraordinary" response of Eurosceptic MPs and said he will try to encourage ministers to change their mind and back the out campaign.
Theresa May, the Home Secretary, and Sajid Javid, the Business Secretary, both refused to back a Brexit despite being life-long Eurosceptics.
Asked whether Cabinet ministers should now reconsider their decision to support the “Remain” campaign, Mr Johnson said: “What have we got? About 150 MPs now? That’s extraordinary.
“I would [encourage ministers to think again]. People should look at the arguments. I have huge respect for what the Prime Minister is saying. But people I think should think about the arguments.”
Mr Johnson also attacked Mr Cameron’s deal from Brussels on migrant benefits after official figures showed that net migration reached 323,000 last year, close to record levels.
The Prime Minister has hailed his offer of a four-year "emergency brake" on benefits and suggested that it The Mayor of London addresses the media outside his house after revealing he will back Brexit
However, critics have warned that it will have little effect because it is tapered, meaning that migrants gradually gain more access to Britain's benefits system the longer they stay in the UK.
Asked whether Mr Cameron’s “emergency brake” on migrant benefits will “work and reduce the numbers”, Mr Johnson said: “It seems unlikely frankly.”
He added: “This is about control. People feel a sense of alienation and frustration because the politicians have no control.”will reduce the "pull factors" for EU migrants.


Jimmy Savile hated children, says Jim'll Fix It producer

Jimmy Savile told the BBC that he hated children - despite presenting shows surrounded by them, a veteran producer of the hugely popular programme Jim’ll Fix It has said.
The DJ and broadcaster, who was later shown to be a serial paedophile and sex abuser, was open in his dislike of young people, according to a producer who worked with him for two decades.
Roger Ordish, who had recommended against Savile being hired as the presenter of Jim’ll Fix It because he appeared to have little empathy for them, said: “He did openly state ‘I hate children’. He said it publicly to newspapers.”
Furthermore, Mr Ordish goes on to state, Savile unnerved and scared the children who appeared with him on the show.
Mr Ordish, who produced Jim’ll Fix It for its entire 19-year run, said many of the children who were guests on the show felt uncomfortable around the DJ and presenter.
But Mr Ordish said it never crossed his mind that Savile might be acting inappropriately with children, let alone abusing them.
Mr Ordish told BBC Radio 4’s Today programme: “I did think his presence was unnerving for some children. Frightening. To me his approach was to speak down to them, or speak very little to them.
“He was creepy, but it never crossed my mind there was any kind of paedophilia going on,” he said, adding: “I do remember saying he should not be left alone with children, but that would apply to the presenter of any programme.”
The producer denied ignoring what Savile might be doing, saying that on one occasion he placed the DJ in a bedroom next to his 14-year-old daughter at his home.
“That’s not the behaviour of someone who knows and who’s turning a blind eye to it,” he said.
In her review of the BBC’s handling of Savile and its response to allegations about his activities, published on Thursday, Dame Janet Smith said she was told of 17 occasions of abuse by him in connection with Jim’ll Fix It.
Dame Janet said Mr Ordish was honest and decent and had not been aware of any criminal activity by Savile. But she did state that he might have suspected something “had he applied his mind” to Savile’s behaviour.
Mr Ordish’s comments came as the veteran BBC DJ Tony Blackburn, who was sacked by the BBC earlier this week, claimed he was offered the opportunity to resign from the corporation and return to work at a later date
