Amber Rose's feud with the Kardashians has officially reached its peak, with Khlo Kardashian fighting back to defend her family and, in particular, youngest sister Kylie Jenner.

It all started on Friday when Rose, 31, spoke to New York's Power 105.1 about the Kardashian clan and gave her thoughts on rapper Tyga's alleged relationship with Jenner, 17. (He denied the romance on the same station Tuesday: "I'm not dating Kylie, I just want to get that out of the way. I want to be clear to everybody that I didn't leave my family to be with Kylie.")

Rose, who is close friends with Blac Chyna, the mother of Tyga's child, did not hold back.

"Kylie's a baby," she told The Breakfast Club. "She needs to go to bed at 7 o'clock and relax. It's ridiculous. Tyga should be ashamed of himself. That's how I feel, for sure. He has a beautiful woman and a baby that he left for a 16-year-old who just turned 17."

While rumors have been swirling about Tyga and Kylie ever since Tyga left Blac Chyna in the summer, Kardashian, 30, finally chose to set the record straight and fire back at Rose on Twitter.

" 'I was a stripper since I was 15 years old,' Amber Rose told Foxx," Kardashian Tweeted on Monday, quoting an old Amber Rose interview in which she divulged her past job. "Please don't worry about my sister who has a career and her s--- together at ONLY 17. People who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones," she continued, adding: "Please stop talking about us in interviews mama. None of us talk about you."

Please stop talking about us in interviews mama. None of us talk about you. (3)

When one follower Tweeted at Kardashian that Amber stripped to provide for her family, she responded in a way that indicated she was simply defending her sister: "Not mad she was a stripper. But don't say my sister should be in bed by 7."

@jaileenieweenie: to provide for her family wyd not mad she was a stripper. But dont say my sister should be in bed by 7 when she wasn't

"We get asked questions about people all the time and my sisters and I always take the high road and don't answer," Kardashian Tweeted. "Truth is we don't know these people. I don't know Amber so why would I comment on her. I'm not going to comment on someone I don't know. That's unfair."

these people. I don't know Amber so why would I comment on her. I'm not going to comment on someone I don't know. (2)

Khlo (@khloekardashian) February 16, 2015

That's unfair. We all hear things via social media or blogs but I would only want to comment on someone (3)

Khlo (@khloekardashian) February 16, 2015

if I actually knew them and or had my own personal history with them. I would think others would want the same respect.

Khlo (@khloekardashian) February 16, 2015

3 sides to EVERY story. His, hers and the truth. I'm not passing judgment but I wish others would do the same until they have FACTS.

Khlo (@khloekardashian) February 16, 2015

To her lengthy missive, Rose simply Tweeted back at Kardashian with the hashtag "#DontPanic," which is the title of a song by Kardashian's on-and-off boyfriend, French Montana. (Kardashian even starred in the video.)

Rose's feud with the Kardashians stems from her former relationship with Kanye West, whom she dated from 2008 to 2010.

"Kim is one of the main reasons me and Kanye are not together," Rose alleged to Star magazine in 2012. "She's a homewrecker! They were both cheating on me and Reggie [Bush] with each other."

Tracy Morgan A No-Show At 'SNL' Anniversary Show, Gets A Shoutout

Tracy Morgan was notably absent from Sunday nights 40th anniversary bash for Saturday Night Live, and while its not clear exactly what his condition is, old friends Alec Baldwin and Tina Fey paid tribute to him and his work on the iconic show after wishing that he could have been there.

I wish my friend Tracy Morgan was here tonight, and I know that he was hoping that he would be well enough to be here too, Tina Fey said.

Morgan, who suffered a brutal car accident in June when the limo he was riding in was hit by a semi truck, has been recovering from a broken nose, leg, and ribs, as well as a brain injury. The accident resulted in the death of Morgans friend, comedian Jimmy McNair, and is the subject of a lawsuit against Walmart, the owner of the truck.

Fey and Baldwin gave a shoutout to their old 30 Rock friend before introducing a clip featuring Morgan as one of his most beloved SNL characters.

Tracys lawyer, Benedict Morelli, said late last year that Morgan wouldnt be making public appearances for quite a while due to the severity of his injuries, and said its unknown if he will be the same after he recovers.

Hes fighting to get better, and if theres a chance for him to be back to the Tracy Morgan he once was, hes going to try to do that. But we just dont know because of the severity of the injuries that he sustained and the fact that he had such a severe brain injury, Morelli said.

As for the lawsuit, it could be quite a while before anything is resolved. Morgan and McNairs family members initiated the suit against Walmart, saying they allowed the driver to keep traveling without adequate rest, but Walmart shot back with allegations that the passengers in the limo were not wearing seat belts at the time of the crash.

Tracy Morgans last film before the crash was a project with his friend Chris Rock called Top Five, which was released in December and got great reviews after its release at the Toronto Film Festival. Rock gave an update on Morgans condition during an interview with USA Today while promoting the film, saying he was trying to get better.

Hes OK. I saw him not too long ago. He doesnt live too far from me. I went by his house and showed him a copy of the movie. He was very happy. Hes got physical therapists. Theres a lot of rehab going on. Hes traumatized his friend died. Its Tracy not the most stable guy in the world to begin with.

Omaha family builds tradition into Presidents Day

OMAHA No one celebrates Presidents Day like Joe Vanourney and his 7-year-old son, Daniel.

Granted, not a lot of people celebrate Presidents Day. And that makes sense, in a way, because technically Presidents Day doesnt exist as a federal holiday. Legislated into existence by the oh-so-festive-sounding Uniform Monday Holiday Act of 1971, the official federal holiday refers specifically to George Washington.

Lady Gaga is engaged to Taylor Kinney: Star reveals HUGE heart-shaped ...

It looks as if congratulations are in order as Lady Gaga is getting married to her boyfriend Taylor Kinney, after the actor popped the question on Valentine's Day.

The couple enjoyed a romantic weekend, with a special dinner at Gaga's family restaurant, Joanne Trattoria, in New York where they celebrated after the Chicago Fire actor proposed, Us Weekly reports.

Lady Gaga and Taylor Kinney

Gaga couldn't have looked happier as she stepped out in the Big Apple today, but she didn't flash her engagement ring.

Instead, the star kept that hand firmly covered.

In a huge purple fur coat, the Bad Romance star kept any sign of a ring concealed. But she later took to Instagram to reveal her whopping heart-shaped diamond ring on Instagram, along with the caption: "He gave me his heart on Valentine's Day, and I said YES!"

Lady Gaga and Kinney first met in 2011 on the set of Gaga's music video, You & I, which they shot in Nebraska. In the shoot, Gaga was actually wearing a wedding gown for their raunchy shoot - and it was her mother's!

Just a few months later, the couple were an official item, with rumours of a short split back in May 2012.

Gaga recently admitted that she knew that Taylor was "the one" in an interview with Howard Stern.

"He is the right guy," she said. "How do we know? It's this feeling..."

Taylor Kinney and Lady Gaga arrive at the 37th Annual Kennedy Center Honors at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington, DC

She also joked about her wedding day, as she told the shock jock: "If I get married, I'll be hanging out in a pickup truck at a David's Bridal while my stylist is screaming at me."

Despite the distance between the couple when Gaga's on the road, and Taylor is working on set, the couple have made it work.

Last year, Taylor revealed why he loves her so much, as it was rumoured that he was shopping for an engagement ring last year.

Lady Gaga and Taylor Kinney are seen hand in hand while arriving at the Plaza Hotel for the Harper's Bazaar Fashion Week show in New York City on September 5, 2014

"[She] is someone whos always in your corner, that believes in you and your work, and vice versa," the actor said.

"You know, I love what she does and her work and music and charity. She inspires so many people including myself."

Paul McCartney, Miley Cyrus, Paul Simon Captivate at 'SNL 40'

Music played a big part ofSNL's 40th anniversary festivities Sunday night, starting with Jimmy Fallon and Justin Timberlake openingsong-and-dance number, which channeled years of famous catchphrases and characters. Kanye West also performed a medley of tunes "Jesus Walks," "Only One" and "Wolves," while Martin Short and Maya Rudolph (as Beyonc) helmed a tribute to SNL'sbest musical-comedy moments, including Will Ferrell and Ana Gasteyeras Marty and Bobby Culp, andBill Murray as lounge singer, Nick Ocean.

Sidebar 40 Best 'Saturday Night Live' Characters of All Time

Paul McCartney followed-up his impromptu duet with Paul Simon of the Beatles' "I've Just Seen a Face" with a bombastic, bleeding-heart rendition of "Maybe I'm Amazed" during Saturday Night Live's 40th anniversary special. While the performance itself was appropriately celebratory and thunderous, a hat mustbe tipped to Keith Richards' sly introduction: "In the early Sixties a band came out of England and it changed the world But enough about the Rolling Stones: Ladies and gentlemen, Paul McCartney."

Miley Cyrus continued the festivities by paying tribute to Simon with an impressive renditionof"50 Ways to Leave Your Lover." Slinking through the verses, Cyrus took the chance to break out her booming, diva vocals during the song's soulful and stomping chorus all of which was anchored by Fred Armisen's indispensable auxiliary percussion.

Simon returned to to the Studio 8H stage to close out SNL's 40th Anniversary special, though first he made sure the musicians of theSaturday Night Live band got the standing ovation they deserved. Backed by Lenny Pickett and Co., Simon fittingly performed a dulcet rendition of "Still Crazy After All These Years," accentuated by a blazing saxophone solo from Pickett.

Chocolate Shops Recover From Valentine's Day Rush

Many chocolate shops get cleared out on Valentine's Day as so many people enjoy giving the traditional gift to their loved ones. But what happens when there's not enough chocolate? Or at the end of the rush, there's too much left over? Emily Lorsch spoke with one local chocolate store owner who tells us how she prepares for and gets through the holiday.

Valentine's Day may be over, but the hard work that goes into the chocolate-crazed day is fresh in the minds of chocolate shop workers. 'Somethin' Sweet Gourmet' Owner Elizabeth Bachura said she had all hands on deck, and stocked up on normal in house chocolates.

"Because that's really what everyone is coming for. They're not coming for the novelty as much as much as they're coming for our regular favorites that we always have on hand,"Bachura said.

Although they do make heart-shaped items special for the holiday, employee Kim Crocker said most customers prefer more personalized sweets for their sweeties."They're not just getting something that someone else can get. It's something unique, it's something specialized, it's something just for them."

They say preparing for Valentine's Day can be very difficult. "It's a total guessing game, every year is different," added Bachura.

But Bachura said even though they're in the dark about how much chocolate they'll need, since they make 90-percent of their chocolates in house, they have a quick and easy solution. "We never know. We just will try and get as much done but then if someone comes in and we're out of it, we'll quickly make it for them."

Working at the 'Somethin' Sweet Gourmet' chocolate shop the week of Valentine's Day is a unique experience, according to Crocker. "It's great seeing people happy. It's great to make someone happy."

And that's how she decided to spend her Valentine's Day. "Even my husband who I was supposed to be spending time with as a Valentine came here with me to spend time here giving to other people so it was really great. We enjoyed it actually more than going out to dinner or spending time just him and I," Crocker added. It brightened her day to help people arrange gifts for others. "We had a woman that came in and she was buying something for her 72-year-old grandmother to give to her boyfriend."

Although both women loved sweeteningValentine's Day, after working 14 hour shifts all week, they were happy to finally get a break and sleep in on Sunday. It was a quick breather before they start preparing for Saint Patrick's Day and Easter.

Bachura said any leftover heart-shaped items either get discounted after Valentine's Day or re-purposed for future sales.

Not just the cricket: India vs Pakistan match also saw audiences judge the TV ads

Piyush Pandey, Chairman of Ogilvy India and South Asia, has often said that Indian TV audiences, unlike audiences elsewhere in the world, actually wait for ad breaks so that they can see the ads and be entertained by them.

In another era, they saw the ads, liked them, were unmoved by them or hated them and these opinions would be shared with friends and family.

That era is dead. In a world of social media, ads get discussed and judgments on the ads are passed in real time.

Watching the feedback on social media could be exhilarating or downright cruel.

Yesterday, as the Indian and Pakistani teams were fighting for a win and for bragging rights, TV audiences dissected each and every TV commercial that was broadcast.

They watched, they judged and they updated their statuses.

Ogilvy and Piyush Pandey make the cut. Their film for Fevikwik gets almost universally positive reviews.

In a nutshell, this was the judgment:

If Ogilvy and Pidilite (manufacturers of Fevikwik) have reasons to smile, Dettol clearly does not.

The worst comment, perhaps, is this one:

It wasnt Dettol alone that took a beating. Thankfully, Dettol had company.

What were people saying about Lays?

How bad was the ad? This comment says it in less than 140 characters:

This is the new world, where the Cannes Jury matters little. At awards shows such as Cannes, you either win or you do not. You do not get panned.And, of course, these awards shows come once a year.

Welcome to the new world, where, every second, theres a judgment being made about your ad by someone who is watching it.

Welcome to the new chairman of the jury the consumer.
