This Emanuel Ungaro shorts look isn’t as hot — or haute — when you cover up all your skin in thigh-high boots and a button-up all the way up to the top, a la Cara. Bare legs and a glimpse of décolletage strike a super-sexy balance. Show the youngins how it’s done, Jada. At 5'7", Odd Mom Out star Abby has four inches on Lauren, but the below-the-knee hem of her Alice + Olivia dress and thicker strapped sandals make her look shorter in comparison to LC. The midi version creates a longer, leaner line. White python pumps? Really, Khloé? Here’s a tip: With a dress as standout as this latex House of CB number, simple nude strappies…

From Illuminati connections to faked pregnancies, Beyoncé has inspired a lot of conspiracy theories. But the latest one might be the craziest: Online sleuths believe the Lemonade superstar, 34, is holding Sia hostage and forcing her to write songs! (The eccentric “Cheap Thrills” singer, 40, has written four hits for Bey, including “Pretty Hurts.”) The bizarre tale seems to have originated on Brazilian social media after Sia described working with Beyoncé as a “camp” where songwriters are holed up in separate rooms of a house and then visited by Queen Bey for feedback on their work, plus a glass of water and some bread crusts if their lyrics are good (OK, we made that last part up). Fans soon shared alleged deleted tweets from Sia in which she appeared to…

Maybe they needed to remind their owner to pick up some Puppy Chow? A Walmart employee in Wayne, W.Va., got the shock of her life when she saw a car moving slowly toward her in the parking lot — with a dog behind the wheel! The owner, who was in the store shopping, later explained she’d left her car running so the AC could keep her two pups cool. She never imagined that one of them would open a window while the other knocked the car into drive and rolled right into the side of the building. “I didn’t know dogs could drive,” said one witness at the scene. Wrong. They can — and they’re better behind the wheel than some celebrities!…

Music mogul L.A. Reid, 60, has purchased a sprawling estate in the ritzy Bel Air neighborhood of LA. The living area (above) boasts a see-through fireplace, recessed lighting and retractable glass walls that open onto a spectacular outdoor space. (Note: Pokémon Go characters not included!)…

Just call him Magic Merman! Channing Tatum, 36, has been cast in the mermaid role made famous by Daryl Hannah in the 1984 film about a man (Tom Hanks) who falls in love with a mysterious woman — a mermaid who’d saved his life when he was a boy. (Jillian Bell will play Hanks’ role.) “I can’t name one remake that was better than the original,” snaps an online poster, echoing the majority. But some can’t wait for the remake. Explains one: “The draw is when Channing Tatum takes his shirt off, duh.”…

Britney Spears recently was asked if she’d rather sit next to Taylor Swift or Katy Perry on a long plane ride. “I don’t know, that’s hard,” replied Brit, 34. “They’re both so cool. Maybe because I’ve met Katy Perry, I would say Taylor Swift, because I’ve never met her before.” Oops! Here’s a pic of Brit with Taylor, now 26, at the 2008 VMAs (the pair also reportedly met in 2003). While it’s tempting to blame the error on a blank space between Brit’s ears, she’s managed what many of Taylor’s exes — and Kanye West — likely wish they could do: forget ever meeting her!…
