The look on Casper Smart's face said it all.

After FOUR outfit changes, the 19-year-old couldn't help but look a little bored.

He had spent the day sitting through constant outfit changes, various hairstyles and make-up updates as he escorted his girlfriend Jennifer Lopez around New York on Thursday.

The 43-year-old kicked off her style shenanigans in office chic, stepping out of her New York hotel in a black pencil skirt and long-sleeved cream top, polished off with sparkly Christian Louboutins.

The couple were later seen resembling real-life Barbie and Ken dolls, with twinned groomed looks. For her next change, Jennifer was seen in a baby rose-cream jumpsuit, with matching heels, that showed off her tiny waist and then flared into the trouser leg. Then she even found time to pull her hair back into a sleek ponytail as she changed into a sleek black dress for a dinner date with 19-year-old Casper.

Project Downfall!

Dannii Minogue may have a head for fashion but she's not ready for the catwalk just yet.

The TV star turned designer made something of an ungainly exit from the launch of her new fashion collection in London on Wednesday night, and landed on her bottom as she stumbled in her stunning sequinned dress. Dannii, 40, found the flowing gown somewhat troublesome and ended up on the floor when she caught her foot in the floor length gown.

She still managed to look rather elegant despite losing her battle with gravity which ended with her sat on the stairs outside venue The Cavendish Sq. Luckily for Dannii, a friendly person came to her rescue and helped her up so she was back to standing. The fall was caused after the former X Factor judge's high-heeled shoe caught in the skirt of her dress but Dannii managed to shake off the accident with aplomb. She looked incredible in the sparkling midnight blue evening gown and had dressed up to launch the latest line of her Project D collection in London.

Chris Brown has unveiled a new tattoo on his neck of what appears to be a woman's battered and bruised face. The 23-year-old singer put the ink on display during an event in Las Vegas earlier this month. The face structure, arched eyebrows and plump lips certainly bear a resemblance Rihanna, and the design has eerie echoes of the shocking picture that emerged of the We Found Love singer after he brutally assaulted her in 2009. Rihanna, who touched down at LAX yesterday after a trip to London, opened up about her complicated feelings for her ex to Oprah Winfrey last month, calling him 'the love of my life'. She confirmed they still have a 'very close friendship' and added she felt sympathy for him in the wake of the infamous violent attack that left her in hospital. She explained: 'I just felt like he made that mistake because he needed help.'

'The main thing for me is that he is at peace,' she continued. 'I'm not at peace if he is unhappy or he is still lonely. I care. It actually matters that he finds peace.

Kanye West has pulled out of the MTV Video Music Awards at the 11th hour.

The Gold Digger rapper, 35, cancelled his appearance after deciding he didn't want to attend the ceremony in Los Angeles without his girlfriend Kim Kardashian by his side. The reality star, 31, had a prior engagement at Fashion's Night Out in New York, where she will be promoting her True Reflection perfume at Lord & Taylor. A source tells Mail Online: 'Kim's in New York for her fragrance launch and Kanye didn't want to go to the VMAs if she couldn't be there.' Kayne's song Mercy featuring Pusha T, Big Sean & 2 Chainz is up for Best Hip-Hop Video and Best Editing.

He was not scheduled to perform. Kim and Kanye have been almost inseparable since they began dating six months and on The View yesterday she described him as her 'perfect match'. She also revealed she's eager to start a family, saying she 'definitely' sees children in her future.
