Kim Kardashian was left humiliated after she was attacked with flour on the red carpet at her own perfume launch. The 30-year-old reality star was covered in the cooking ingredient after an unidentified Asian woman pelted her at the launch of True Reflection at The London Hotel in West Hollywood. Kim arrived dressed-to-the-nines, wearing a black blazer, leather trousers and a bright blue blouse, but within minutes she looked more like a dowdy housewife after a kitchen mishap. Kim’s whole back and shiny hair was covered in the substance, which was later determined as cooking flour, according to TMZ. The website reports that after the attack, Kim, who arrived at the hotel with her mother Kris Jenner, was ushered into a private room where she removed her doused jacket and brushed the flour off the rest of her outfit and long brunette locks. The reality starlet opted to go back to the event following the fracas, and the assailant — who is said to have shouted ‘fur hag’ as she threw the powder — was arrested by police who were called to the scene, according to the website. The fire department was also called to the scene to inspect the substance, which after several minutes they determined as cooking flour. After she returned to the event Kim laughed off the ordeal and even made a joke in light of the incident. “That probably is the craziest, unexpected, weird thing that ever happened to me,” she told E! Online. “Like I said to my makeup artist, I wanted more powder and that’s a whole lot of translucent powder right there.” Meanwhile her mother Kris told the website: “If anybody comes at me with something, call security.” According to E! Online, the woman ran off after she threw the flour, but didn’t get very far when Kim’s representative intercepted her and held onto her before security took over.

Tipsy, make-up free and in her pajamas…

It’s funny how even one glass of wine can suddenly embolden you to get things off your chest. And with modern technology what it is, the ways to fulfill this urge are manifold… even if you’re enjoying a large glass of red at home. In Gwyneth Paltrow’s case, she chose skype (the hugely popular video call service) to ring the Rachael Ray show and slam suggestions that she didn’t write her own cookbook. The 39-year-old, who is rarely spotted with a hair out of place, was sporting bed-head hair and didn’t appear to have a scrap of make-up on her face. Gwyneth was ringing from the London home she shares with her Coldplay frontman husband Chris Martin and their two children, Apple and Moses, so she was four hours ahead of Ray and her audience in New York when the show was recorded. She told Rachael in the broadcast, which was shown today at 10am ET: “I’m in my pajamas.” Before adding with a grin: “I’ve got a glass of wine,” and then wielding the large glass in front of the camera.

Paltrow then went on to defend herself against the New York Times’ accusations that she didn’t write her own cookbook. “Every single recipe in the book I came up with and I cooked on the spot,” Paltrow told Rachael, who has also been accused of having a ghostwriter. Paltrow’s cookbook, My Father’s Daughter, features recipes from blueberry pavlova to chicken and dumplings, all of which she says she created herself. “The recipes were inspired by an amazing salad that I had somewhere … a chef friend that had taught me something and this is my version of it and I would do it from scratch by myself and in the kitchen,” she said.
