Kim Kardashian certainly knows how to embrace a theme, and Beyoncé's star-studded birthday party was no exception. The reality star stepped out over the weekend to attend Bey's roller disco-themed bash with a who's-who of celebs — not including her ex, Kanye «Ye» West. Kim's sister, Khloe Kardashian, was in attendance, sharing a series of snaps to her Instagram alongside Kim and pal La La Anthony and a most fitting caption for the occasion: «All the Single Ladies,» referencing not only their respective relationship statuses, but Beyoncé's 2008 monster hit single. All three ladies shimmered and shined in their ensembles, with Kim opting for a skintight, red-and-black heeled catsuit and, in a subtle nod to Ye, a pair of Yeezy shades. While Kanye was noticeably absent from the soiree, Khloe's ex-boyfriend and the father of her two children — Tristan Thompson — was there, along with Kris Jenner and her beau, Corey Gamble. It was a busy weekend for the Kardashian crew.

Legal reps for Sam Smith and Normani have again called for a song theft lawsuit in relation to their song ‘Dancing With A Stranger’ to be dismissed. An amended version of that lawsuit, they argue, doesn’t address the issues they previously raised about the song-theft claim.Smith and Normani – and various other parties linked to their hit – were sued earlier this year by artist Jordan Vincent and producer Christopher Miranda who claim that ‘Dancing With A Stranger’ rips off their 2015 song ‘Dancing With Strangers’.On top of having nearly the same title and a very similar accompanying promo video to the earlier song, Smith and Normani’s ‘Dancing With A Stranger’ – it was alleged – has the same “hook, chorus, lyrics, and musical composition” as ‘Dancing With Strangers’.“It is beyond any real doubt that Smith, Normani and the other defendants copied plaintiff’s work”, the lawsuit then claimed.

It was also an opportunity to pay homage to some of the characters I love the most in cinema like Patrick Bateman and Buffalo Bill.”He continued: “I’ve loved those characters since I was a little boy.
