Kanye West bought Kim Kardashian a handbag with nude figures painted on it for Christmas.
The 32-year-old reality TV star — who has a six-month-old daughter, North, with the rapper — gushed about her one-of-a-kind Hermes Birkin bag, hand-painted by contemporary artist George Condo, on Instagram.
The lavish brown leather bag features four scantily clad figures painted on one side, with the central character — a striking female beauty — looking solemn while surrounded by the other three figures, who appear to have ghoulish faces.
Kim shared a picture of her Christmas gift on Instagram, writing: "#HandPaintedGeorgeCondo #HermesBirkin#OneofOne #ChristmasPresentFromYeezy."
While Kim is overjoyed with her unique present, the star's fans were less than impressed with her new accessory.
One wrote: "will she really take this out in public or convince him its art to stay indoors? ugly offensive art for a purse, wth Hermes, u failed."
West, 36, has a close friendship with Condo, who collaborated with him to create several portraits for his 2010 album 'My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy,' including the controversial cover art featuring a naked Kanye being straddled by a female with no arms.
MILEY: IT'S NOT ME, IT'S ONLY 'ROCK 'N' ROLL'
Miley Cyrus says she's playing a character in public.
The 'Wrecking Ball' hitmaker claims her raunchy antics in 2013, including her infamous performance at the MTV Video Music Awards in August, are all part of a "rock 'n' roll" act she has created for the purposes of her music career.
"I went from people just thinking I was, like, a baby to people thinking I'm this, like, sex freak that really just pops molly and does lines all day," she explained. "It's like, 'Has anyone ever heard of rock 'n' roll?'
"There's a sex scene in pretty much every single movie, and they go, 'Well, that's a character.' Well, that's a character. I don't really dress as a teddy bear and, like, twerk on Robin Thicke, you know?"
The 21-year-old pop star also claims she doesn't have many A-list friends because they are worried about the effect she may have on their public image.
"I don't have a bunch of celeb friends, because I feel like some of them are a little scared of the association," she told the New York Times. "This is terrible."
The former 'Hannah Montana' star says she is now embracing her true self and was eager to shake her wholesome image after ending her contract with Disney.
"Things came out that happened — like, you know, bong videos — when I was on Disney," she said. "But I never wanted to do that to Disney. When I was no longer employed by anyone, that's when I was like, 'OK, I'm going to do my own thing.' But I waited until I felt like I had respectfully finished out what I was supposed to do, you know?"
PAPARAZZO GETS POOP PRESENT FROM HATHAWAY
Anne Hathaway left a bag of dog poop on a photographer's car.
The 'Dark Knight Returns' star was out walking her dog Esmeralda in L.A. this week Thursday when she was spotted by the paparazzo, who took a few shots of her with her canine friend.
It seems Hathaway was unhappy about being snapped; when her chocolate Labrador mutt needed to answer the call of nature, the 31-year-old actress bagged up the pooch's poo and dropped it on the windshield of the photog's white Toyota.
It's unknown if the unnamed paparazzo complained about the package or simply disposed of it.
UH OH, BIEBER'S GOT A NEW PET
Justin Bieber has bought a new puppy.
The 19-year-old pop star has been back in Canada for the Christmas holidays and while in Stratford, Ont., he stopped by local pet store Ruffin’s Pet Centre to get a dog.
Bieber, who was accompanied by his family, fell in love with a seven-week-old American bulldog pup and decided that was the canine companion he wanted, according to E! News.
The ‘Heartbreaker’ singer’s visit to Ruffin’s — a store where he and his family have purchased pets before, according to staff — attracted the attention of fans and he had to sneak out the back door with the cute white and brown pooch.
Bieber's father Jeremy posted a picture of himself with the adorable mutt on Twitter along with the caption “newest Bieber.”
Jeremy also offered his superstar son's fans the chance to name the dog.
Bieber has been taking a holiday break with family after the release of his concert biopic 'Justin Bieber's Believe.'
LADY GAGA FED UP WITH FIGURE OBSESSION
Lady Gaga has urged women to stop worrying about their weight because people who achieve great things do not have to look like "supermodels."
The 27-year-old pop superstar has suffered with fluctuating weight throughout her career and has been criticized for being both too thin and overweight.
But Gaga has dismissed society's obsession with women's figures and insists it's time people concentrated on what they're going to do with their lives rather than what they look like.
In the February 2014 issue of FASHION Magazine, Gaga dismissed society's obsession with women's figures.
"I want to remind everyone that people who win Nobel Peace Prizes and cure diseases are not supermodels," she said. "Your legacy does not need to be a perception of beauty that's not realistic."
Although Gaga is now one of the world's biggest singers she insists she would still be wearing eccentric outfits and pushing the boundaries of pop if she was an unsigned artist playing in bars and small venues in her native New York City because music is her life.
"There's this implication that if I wasn't so successful I would have to stop," she said. "But I never would have stopped. I would be in some bar; being Lady Gaga."
