Ariana Grande Hangs With North West Backstage: See the Adorable Pics!
North West is only three years old, but she’s already being invited to Hollywood’s most exclusive parties and enjoying meet-and-greets with her favorite A-listers.
But for active as Kim Kardashian is on social media, she and Kanye West have done a decent job of allowing their kids to maintain relatively low profiles, and new photos of North and Saint are something of an event for diehard Kardashi-fans.
So Kim obsessives reacted with unchecked glee last night when the mother of two posted pics of her North hanging out backstage with her favorite singer:
Yes, that’s lil Norrie with Ariana Grande.
It seems mother and daughter were invited backstage prior to Ari’s performance at The Forum in Inglewood, California Friday night.
Grande is a favorite of North’s, who apparently prefers catchy pop to her father’s experimental, introspective hip hop.
Who would’ve thought?
Anyway, it seems Ariana was more than happy to oblige her biggest little fan with a backstage photo sesh, even posting some pice to her own Snapchat page:
Ariana’s been owning it lately and staking her claim as one of the biggest names in music.
Of course, with massive fame comes massive scrutiny of one’s personal life, and Ari has proven no exception to that rule.
It started innocently enough, with fans fawning over the singer’s relationship with Mac Miller.
Things took a turn for the decidedly weird last week, however, when a rumor that Ariana is pregnant began to spread like wildfire across social media.
Thankfully, thus far, it seems no one has taken these pics with North as a sign that Ari’s nurturing instincts are kicking in, but we’re sure that’ll come with time.
And hey, Kim’s uterus has been a topic of online conversation lately, so at least she and Ariana had something to bond over.
Of course, in Kim’s case, she was the one who started the rumors, reportedlas part of a last-ditch effort to save Keeping Up With the Kardashians from cancelation.
Yeah, in case you haven’t figured it out, we’re living in very strange times.
Hopefully, North will grow up surrounded by so much weirdness that her method of rebellion will be to mature into a perfectly well-adjusted, non-fame-hungry adult.

Paris Jackson’s birthday looked like a typical teen’s Monday — eating Mickey D’s, smoking cigs, hanging with friends — which is a full 180 from when she was a kid. She celebrated 19 by chillin’ outside a friend’s apartment … possibly the…
Heather Morris" Britney Spears Dancing With the Stars Tribute: Watch!
Heather Morris channeled Britney Spears last night on Week 3 of Dancing With the Stars, a familiar role for the one-time Glee cast member.
She did a fair amount of that impersonation back in the day.
Morris spent six seasons channeling Britney Spears on Glee, but the former Beyonce backup dancer was nervous to bring her back.
Performing a tango to the pop star"s “Toxic” Monday, she made sure of her survival as the Dancing with the Stars results were announced.
Heather described the experience as such:
“I’m here to show my fans – and the rest of the world – more about who Heather really is and, to me, this seems like a step back in time."
That doesn"t mean it was easy, though.
Morris was admittedly anxious, but “I think once we got on stage and did it, it felt so much more powerful and specific to what we were doing."
There was also the Maks factor involved.
Pro Alan Bernsten was forced to become Morris’ temporary partner for the week as Maksim Chmerkovskiy recovers from a calf injury.
“The key was really just focusing on each other," Bernsten said, "as opposed to everything that was happening in the ballroom."
While the Spears influence on the routine is obvious, they tried to really harness the power of the tango as opposed to Britney.”
“Yeah, we used Britney’s essence, but it was all about the dancing and making Heather shine,” he said, and there"s no doubt he succeeded.
Heather, who is rumored to be feuding with Nancy Kerrigan, another top contender this season, earned her place near the top of the scoreboard.
Making Morris feel even more confident?
Former Glee co-star Naya Rivera supporting her in the audience, where Morris says she was more excited about the routine than anyone.
“She was, like, so fangirling before this whole thing."
"She was, like, ‘Oh my God! I’m obsessed!"
"This is my favorite! I love it!"” said Morris.
“We come from a completely different world with Naya and Kevin [McHale] and all of them, but they are so supportive," she went on.
Kevin, also a former Glee co-star, "is so stoked to come watch the show. It’s fun to bring them into this world.”
While some believe Morris on Dancing with the Stars is unfair, given her background, she certainly keeps you glued to the screen:
