Kylie Jenner let her incredible curves do the talking for her on Thursday.
As
she stepped out in New York, the Keeping Up With The Kardashian star
revealed a tiny waist in a fitted bodycon dress – just hours before she
took to Twitter to slam pregnancy rumours.
The 18-year-old – who
recently rekindled her romance with on-off boyfriend Tyga – looked
incredible in the curve-hugging ensemble, which she topped off with a
pair of silver heels.
Despite the tightly fitting dress, the teen was forced to rubbish claims that she was pregnant on Twitter.
"Omg. No I'm not pregnant. It's been the same rumor for years &
no baby... So (sic)," she wrote, in a series of tweets which have since
been deleted.
"When I decide to go to that next stage in my life.. I'll be the first to let you know... Not a weekly blog," added the star.
In addition to the incredibly flattering dress, Kylie debuted her new hairdo after she'd chopped off her long locks for a blunt bob.
This is the lair where the Nice terrorist plotted the deaths of dozens of people by using a lorry to run over them.
A
computer screen can be seen directly in front of the door, sitting on a
small wooden table with a collection of papers scattered across it.
Both
the computer and the papers are sure to form part of the investigation
as officers attempt to find out if and how the killer was radicalised -
or what brought him to commit such a horrific crime.
Experts are
expected to be brought in to download data from the computer and see
what information 31-year-old Mohamed Lahouaiej Bouhlel stored on it and
what websites he had visited.
Police officers used explosives to enter the flat just hours after he launched the massacre on an unsuspecting public.
Black blast marks can be seen on the wall and frame of the door where officers blew the lock of the door clean off.
Armed police stood guard outside the apartment as investigators scour
the home for clues as to what could have provoked the French-Tunisian
to launch his bloody rampage.
Pictures from the scene show an officer standing inside the flat as the orange front door hangs open.
A

Both the computer and the papers are sure to form part of the
investigation as officers attempt to find out if and how the killer was
radicalised - or what brought him to commit such a horrific crime.
The
walls of the flat appear to be bare - aside from a mirror mounted next
to the computer screen - while the wall holding the door frame seems to
be cracked.
Another photo shows a pair of blue gloves on the
floor - although it is not clear if these were found in the flat or left
by investigators.

Police are also examining the back of the lorry used to kill dozens of people during an evening of mayhem.
Investigators can be seen picking items up in the hope they may help explain what sparked the deaths of 84 people.
Bouhlel's ID card was found in the truck and shows he is a 31-year-old French man of Tunisian descent.
A number of his relatives are being quizzed by police today.
He was known to police in connection with common law crimes such as theft and violence.
Investigating sources said his last appearance in court was as recently as March, when he was found guilty of violent conduct.
As reported by Nice Matin, he worked as a delivery driver.
The attacker was not known to the intelligence services, suggesting he has not previous background in terrorism offences.
The
fact he was not on the watch list will be of grave concern as an
investigation into last year’s Paris attacks identified multiple
failings by France’s intelligence agencies. At least 84 people were killed in the massacre last night - including 10 children.
A 71-year-old woman has married a 17-year-old toyboy just three weeks after meeting him at her son's funeral.
When
grieving pensioner Almeda Errell went to pay her last respects at her
son's funeral, the last thing she expected to find was love.
Following
a whirlwind three-week romance, she and Gary Hardwick – now 18, and who
had previously dated a woman of 77 – tied the knot in a ceremony which
he arranged for just £137 in six days.
Later, on their wedding night, they had sex for the first time.
"It
was wonderful, beyond my wildest dreams," revealed Gary. "She really is
my dream woman and the physical side of our relationship couldn't be
better."
"It was the best ever," agreed Almeda. "I'd never had a connection like it before."
And now the unlikely pair are sharing Almeda's house with one of her grandsons who is three years OLDER than her new husband.
"I
wasn't looking for a young man, but Gary just came along," said Almeda,
a supermarket assistant. "I just knew straight away that he was the
one."
Her happiness at their meeting was in stark contrast to the
lonely despair the mother-of-four had endured after being widowed and
then losing her eldest son Robert,45, after a seizure.
"I'd been
married to my first husband Donald for 43 years, and so when he died in
2013 after seven months in hospital from complications with diabetes, I
found myself on my own,' said Almeda.
"I'd turn up for work in tears and my colleagues would ask me what was wrong. Deep down, I was searching for a soulmate.
Almeda was also having to cope with Robert's failing health.
"He'd always had problems following a road accident when he was younger," she said.
"But when his wife Lisa called to say he'd died, I was devastated. It was a hard time for me."
Gary, whose attraction to older women started with a crush on a
teacher at the age of eight, said he had also been in turmoil, feeling
trapped in an unhappy relationship with his 77-year-old lover.
"We were always fighting,' said Gary. "I fell into depression and was looking for a way out."
That's when Lisa, his aunt, invited him to join other mourners for her husband Robert's cremation.
Almeda said: "I'd noticed this young man with a lovely smile during the service and thought, 'Wow, this is the one.'
"He was on the other side of the church, but I kept looking over at him. It was like a bright light through the grief.
"Then,
as I was walking to the door at the end, he came over and passed on his
condolences. We didn't have much time, but it was enough."
For the next few months, she couldn't stop thinking about Gary.
But
what she didn't realise was that the feeling was mutual – and as soon
as he broke up with his girlfriend, he raced round to Lisa's to confess
his love for Almeda.
"It was an instant thing for me too," said
Gary. "She had the most gorgeous, sparkling blue eyes. When I told Lisa
that I liked Almeda, she said that she liked me too and that she should
get us together."
Soon after, Lisa asked them both along to a
family meal at the nearby Chuck E Cheese's pizza restaurant for her
daughter Evelyn's ninth birthday. Sitting next to each other, it didn't
take long for the old spark to reignite.
"He was just as I
remembered," said Almeda. "That smile, those good looks. We were both
too nervous to eat, and at one point he fell over his chair."
"We spent hours talking about everything and found we had so much in
common like our love of country music and Italian food," said Gary, who
has just written a book of his life experiences called This Is Who I Am.
But there was still one question Almeda needed to ask.
She
recalled: 'I just came out with it and said to him, 'Look, I'm 71 and
you're 17. Am I too old for you?' He squeezed my hand, grinned, and
replied: "Age is just a number."'
That night, after returning to
Lisa's with the others, Gary surprised her with red roses and a bracelet
for her birthday which had been a few days before. Then they shared
their first tender kiss under the moonlight outside on a bench.
"It made me feel like a teenager again," smiled Almeda.
From then on, they started seeing each other every night, and got the
blessing of most friends and family, including Gary's mum Tammy, 48,
and his grandmother Carolyn, 71 – the same age as Almeda.
But not everyone approved.
"Some
family members Gary was far too young for me, and that I must be
crazy," said Almeda. "I told him I wasn't crazy, and that we loved each
other."
Two weeks after their first date, she had no hesitation in accepting when Gary proposed on the phone.
And
six days later, after Gary had hurriedly arranged everything, budget,
Almeda wore a dress borrowed from his cousin as they married in the
gardens outside Lisa's flat where they'd had their first kiss.
Since
their wedding in October, Gary's had their names tattooed across his
chest and the couple are now living in Almeda's five-bedroom house, in
Sevierville, Tennessee, USA with her daughter DeAnna, 40, and
grandchildren Aaron, 21, and Indianna, 16.
Gary has also started working at another supermarket, but is applying
for a transfer to the same one as Almeda's so they can be together all
the time.
He said: "Almeda is so young at heart that age never
bothers us, we never really think about it. I just know that God
answered my prayers that day she walked into my life."
She added: 'The one thing I've learnt is that when you truly love somebody, it really doesn't matter what anyone else thinks."
This is the moment the Nice terrorist was shot dead by police after
murdering dozens of innocent people by running them over with a lorry.
Taken
by a member of the public, it shows a number of police officers firing
into the cabin of the lorry as a man, thought to be the alleged
terrorist Mohamed Lahouaiej Bouhlel sits at the wheel of the vehicle.
The
31-year-old French-Tunisian had just gone on a mile-long rampage
zigzagging along the Promenade des Anglais massacring at least 84 men,
women and children.
Bodies of his victims littered the road
behind him after he sped away from chasing police officers desperately
trying to stop him from killing more.
In the video, taken after the lorry had come to a halt, at least three
police officers are seen walking up to the cabin with their guns drawn
and firing several times.
The large white lorry has come to a stop in the middle of the promenade.
Close
by are restaurants and hotels - which would have been packed full of
tourists and residents celebrating France's national day.
Screams and sirens are heard in the background as dozens of shots are
fired off before it all goes eerily quiet - apparently signalling an
end to the mayhem.
More police officers run towards the lorry
with their firearms drawn as the others, who finally brought the
killer's murderous spree to a close, continue pointing their guns into
the cabin while shouting orders to each other.
The high-vis
reflective patches on the back of the police officers' uniforms can be
seen shining brightly as lights from arriving police cars hit the back
of the brave cops.
One officer, who had fired numerous shots into the cabin, pulls out a
large torch and then shines it directly into the lorry - checking to see
if the terrorist is dead.
A line of officers then, with their firearms pointed directly at the
lorry, form a ring of steel around it as orders are screamed to each
other in French.
Cristiano Ronaldo has splashed the cash on a £1.7million Bugatti Veyron in the aftermath of Portugal's Euro 2016 win.
The
Real Madrid star, who lifted the trophy in Paris last weekend despite
missing the majority of the final through injury, documented the car's
arrival on his Instagram account.
Alongside a picture of the car, he wrote: "The animal arrive."
The
car has been delivered to his home in Madrid, while Ronaldo remains on
holiday in Ibiza, but the 31-year-old had a message for the luxurious
motor as he wrote: "Soon your honor [will] arrive."
Kendall Jenner almost gave fans another glimpse at her figure as she risked a wardrobe malfunction in a very revealing outfit.
The
20-year-old model stunned at the OUE Skyspace LA launch event at US
Bank Tower in Los Angeles, stunning in a skimpy black top that showed
off a lot of her curves.
She paired the loose vest - which
revealed a lot of side boob and a hint of midriff - with a pair of high
waisted, flared pants and seemed to have shunned a bra.
With a cardigan hanging off her shoulder, Kendall smiled as she posed
for pictures on the red carpet while avoiding showing too much.
Kim Kardashian gave a new meaning to the little black dress as she stepped out in LA.
The
reality star left zero to the imagination as she squeezed her famous
curves into a sheer fishnet dress, exposing her black knickers.
Kimmie just about covered her modesty thanks to an oversized camouflage coat courtesy of her husband Kanye West.
But onlookers were still treated to a serious eyeful, with her buxom body threatening to spill out of the see-through frock.
Mum-of-two Kim flaunted her impressive cleavage, toned stomach and curvaceous thighs in the risqué dress/
She completed her sexy look with a pair of suede heeled boots and her dark tresses piled on top of her head in a chic bun.
Kim was snapped as she made her way to a party in downtown Los Angeles and kept her eyes firmly trained on the pavement.
The bootiful star was no doubt keeping her head down after her well-timed remarks about pop princess Taylor Swift.
She's usually a master when it comes to covering her modesty in even the skimpiest of outfits.
But even Rita Ora struggled to made a ladylike exit as she landed in New York to film America's Next Top Model.
The pop princess flashed her knickers in a seriously short mini dress as she was helped out of a big red helicopter.
Rita paraded her pins in the shimmering silver frock which she teamed with a pair of metallic platform sandals.
Her blonde tresses were worn sleek and straight, with a silver choker necklace and vampish red nails polishing off her look.

The forward
, who scored the winning goal against France on Sunday, claimed his
father was nearing the end of a 16-year sentence for the murder of his
step-mum.
Eder told of his father’s jail sentence during a TV
interview in Portugal after his wonder strike earned his country a
surprise 1-0 final win to become European champions.
Asked about
his parents, the former Swansea footballer said : “My dad is in prison.
Since I was 12. My step-mum died and he was accused of killing her.
“He was sentenced to 16 years, I think.”
The
Guinea-Bissau-born footballer, who started his professional career in
2008 with Portuguese side Academica, a team based in the beautiful
university city of Coimbra, added: “From the moment I went to Academica
and began to earn money, I could go to England to see him in jail.
“Every time I had holiday, I would go to England to see him.”
Eder,
full name Ederzito Antonio Macedo Lopes, has become a hero in his
adopted nation after his thunderous right-foot 109th minute strike
brought Portugal their first-ever Euro success.
It emerged
afterwards Cristiano Ronaldo had predicted he would score the winning
goal against France and gave him encouragement to settle the final after
having to come off injured.
Eder, 28, had managed to keep the revelation about his jailbird dad
secret despite playing 15 games for Swansea City last season before
being loaned to French club Lille with whom he has now signed a
permanent contract.
He revealed soon after he signed for Swansea
that he moved to Portugal with his mum when he was just two so he could
join his dad who was already living there.
He also revealed that at the age of eight he moved away from his family to a boarding college.
He
joked on the club website in an interview published in December 2015
that he referred to himself as ‘Mr International’ because of his
multi-cultural background.
He said: “I have a sister studying in Wolverhampton and I have another sister who has lived in England for a time.
“My brother lives in Portugal, but I have family everywhere.”
Eder’s mood turned sombre as he was asked about his difficult upbringing which included a long spell in a boarding college.
He said before revealing his dad was in jail in the UK: “I came to Portugal with my mum from Guinea-Bissau.
“My
dad was already in Portugal. There was a moment when my dad came to my
mum’s house and ended up taking me with him and I went to live for some
time with my dad. After that I was put into the college.”
The 18-year-old reality TV star chopped off her long locks and is now sporting a chic bob and Kylie revealed her transformation on Snapchat.
She shared pictures of her hairdresser at work before unveiling the new look with a message which read "Bye hair".
Kylie likes to experiment with her look and often sports bright wigs or hair extensions.
However, Kylie recently admitted that experimenting with her look
went too far last year when she had fillers pumped into her mouth to
give herself a plumper pout.
Speaking in an interview with her
half-sister Kim Kardashian West in Allure magazine, she said: "Well, I
definitely made my lips a little too big at one point."
The brunette beauty - who has her own line of lipsticks, glosses and
liners - believes she was just one step away from ending up on the US
reality TV series 'Botched', which sees doctors attempt to fix
procedures gone wrong.
She explained: "I got excited and felt
like I needed to do a lot. And then you guys were like, 'Kylie, you need
to chill.' And then I had to go back and have it fixed, and it was a
crazy process. Thank God I didn't end up on 'Botched'."
Rihanna
has canceled her scheduled concert at the Allianz Stadium in Nice, France in the wake of the truck attack during Bastille Day fireworks on late Thursday, July 14. The show, which was part of her "Anti World Tour", was originally set for Friday.
The president of Nice, Christian Estrosi, announced on Twitter the cancellations of RiRi's show as well as other social events that were planned to take place in the city on Friday. He wrote, "Tomorrow the flags of the city will be at half mast. After the cancellation of the Rihanna concert, jazz festival is canceled."
The singer herself was in the city when the terror attack occurred, but her rep has confirmed that "she is safe. She is ok." She later took to Instagram to express her sympathy for the victims' families.
Everyone seems to be going after Taylor Swift these days. After Swift's ex-boyfriend Calvin Harris publicly blasted her on Twitter and her rumored enemy Katy Perry appeared to take his side, Kim Kardashian is going to address her own feud with the country-turned-pop superstar in the upcoming episode of "Keeping Up with the Kardashians".
Last month, Kim covered GQ magazine and said in an interview with the magazine that Taylor "totally approved" of the controversial lyrics about her on Kanye West's
"Famous". Now, a new sneak-peek for the show's Sunday, July 17 episode
has landed online, showing the mother of two explaining and defending
her decision to call out the 26-year-old songbird.
"I never talk s**t about anyone publicly, especially in interviews. But I was just like, I had so had it," she told sister Kourtney Kardashian
in the video. "I just felt like I wanted to defend him in it because
it's like, she legitimately quote says, 'As soon as I get on that Grammy
red carpet I'm gonna tell all the press. Like I was in on it.' "
"And she just didn't like the reaction?" Kourtney asked, to which Kim
replied, "And you know just another way to play the victim. It
definitely got her a lot of attention the first time." The 35-year-old
star went on admitting that Kanye hurt Taylor when he interrupted her
acceptance speech at the 2009 MTV VMAs. "I just don't think he should be
punished for it still to this day," she added.
Furthermore, Kim said that the VMA incident could happen to anyone because Beyonce Knowles'
"Single Ladies", the song Taylor's "You Belong With Me" won over, was
one of the biggest hits at the time. "It wasn't meant to be personal. It
could have been anyone," she argued. "We all know 'Single Ladies' was
the biggest song of the year. So when she didn't win he just wanted to
stand up for her."
"I feel like I've had it with people blatantly treating my husband a
certain way, making him look a certain way," she continued in the new
"KUWTK" clip. "Kanye is always so honest and speaks his mind. And you
know, when we were first dating, people would always talk s**t and he
always had my back. At this point, I really don't give a f**k so I'll do
whatever to protect my husband."
At least 84 people were killed in a suspected terror attack on France as the country celebrated Bastille Day.
A lorry loaded with weapons and hand grenades drove on to a pavement
in Nice more than a mile before police shot dead the driver.
The killer was a 31-year-old French citizen born in Tunisia. He was said to be known to police but not on a terror watch list.
A massive stash of weapons and hand grenades was found inside the lorry that mowed down crowds in Nice last night, killing at least 84 people.
A pistol, several grenades and larger guns were among the items uncovered from the 25-tonne vehicle after the horror attack , French officials say.
Reports claim some of these weapons were fake, although this is unconfirmed.
The Terrorist
Little is known about the terrorist who killed at least 84 people -
including several children - by driving a lorry through crowds
celebrating Bastille Day in France.
The truck ploughed into crowds on Nice’s Promenade des Anglais and continued at speed for around a mile.
The driver was seen shooting from the window of the truck as he smashed into people.
The killer was eventually shot dead by police with pictures showing his truck riddled with bullet holes.
This was the scene this morning as a man walked through debris scattered
on the streets on Nice, where a lorry ploughed into crowds of families
just hours earlier.
As the killer lorry zig-zagged through the streets, terrified bystanders ran for cover in whichever direction possible.
This picture shows two women huddling together in the storeroom of a nearby restaurant.
Journalist Ben Terry tweeted footage as eyewitnesses waited for news.
Celia Delcourt, 20, from Nice, was enjoying the Bastille Day celebrations with friends when the attack happened.
“When the fireworks ended, we went on to the Promenade des Anglais
and we started walking and we heard gunshots and we started running from
on the other side,” she told ITV’s Good Morning Britain.
“It was dark. We didn’t know what was happening. We thought it was
fireworks from another place. We just started running because everybody
was running, without knowing what was happening.
“We never thought it will happen in our city, it’s crazy. It feels
like it’s a part of our day since it happened in Paris but we never
thought it would happen here.”
British holidaymaker Esther Serwah, 59, was staying in a hotel a short walk from the scene.
She said she had been on her way to the Promenade des Anglais for
dinner with her daughters when people started screaming at her.
Mrs Serwah, from Surrey, said: “I was just walking to the Promenade
and then I saw everybody running and I just didn’t know what was going
on. People were screaming at me in French but I didn’t understand.
“Some people were lying on the streets dead and people were running
over the bodies. Everybody was saying it’s a terrorist attack. It’s just
horrible, horrible, horrible. I’m in shock. I’m still shaking.”
Witnesses of the attack in Nice described seeing people run through the streets as they heard gunshots.
Wassim Bouhel told the French TV channel iTele that the lorry zigzagged across the road.
He said: “We almost died. It was like hallucinating ... (the lorry)
zigzagged - you had no idea where it was going. My wife ... a metre away
... she was dead. “The lorry ripped through everything ... poles,
trees.
“We have never seen anything like it. Some people were hanging on the door and tried to stop it.”
Tony Molina, an American witness to the attack, told CNN: “There was
still a crowd of people and then you just see this big white panel
truck, I couldn’t see the driver, but it just kept going at different
angles from left to right at 25 to 30 miles and hour. “People were screaming and running. I work in homicide and I’ve never seen anything like this. It’s unbelievable.”
Brit Will Shore told BBC Radio 4: “It was quite chaotic really. There
was a lot of people screaming, running around and people were kind of
being pushed over, I think, from people just being so frightened about
what was going on especially after hearing the gunshots.
“I had to help a couple of people up who were in distress on the floor because everyone was in such a panic.”
84 Dead
The number of those killed in Thursday’s terror attack in Nice has risen to 84.
Revised figures from the Interior Ministry suggest 84 people dead and 18 in critical condition.
The Attacker's Identity
The man who drove a lorry into crowds of people during Bastille Day celebrations in Nice was known to police, it has emerged.
80 people were killed and dozens injured in what President Francois Hollande has called a terror attack.
Today, it was revealed that the man - a local Nice man of Tunisian origin, was known to police for common law crimes.
But, authorities said, NOT to intelligence services.
At least 80 people died in the carnage and many more were injured in
what President Francois Hollande said was clearly a terrorist attack,
with several children among the dead.
Laurence Marie, who works at Lenval paediatric hospital, said “many” more children were undergoing serious operations there.
Footage has emerged showing the moment police tried to stop the lorry as it ploughed into crowds in Nice.
80 people died and 18 were in a critical condition following the attack on France’s national holiday, Bastille Day.
Many more were also wounded in the attack along the famed seafront
Promenade des Anglais as the fireworks ended just after 10.30pm local
time.
The driver also opened fire before police shot him dead.
Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve said authorities are working to
identify the terrorist - and determine whether or not he had help.
He told reporters: “I’d like to say a word about the investigation,
not to reveal any details but to say that we are fighting this with all
the means the state has to identify the suspect. The identification
process is ongoing.
“We will firstly determine if he had help from accomplices or not.
And this information is to be shared by the public prosecutor according
to what will be verified for sure, to prevent rumours or false
information to be carried out.
“Lastly I’d like to say that we knew that the level of a terrorist
threat was extremely high, we’ve been saying this for the past days, for
the past weeks since we were under a great amount of pressure because
of Euro 2016 which is a huge event.
“It was hardly over that I recall myself, telling my staff at Place
Beauvau (Interior Ministry) that the vigilance level had to remain
absolute, because we are at war with terrorists who want to hurt us at
any costs, and as brutally as they can.”

Nearby hotels were turned into makeshift hospitals to treat the injured.

Celebrities pay tribute to victims of Nice attack
Kris Jenner, Simon Cowell and Justin Timberlake were among the first
