Kanye & Riccardo Tisci fuel Gay rumours after rocking matching outfits

This is ridiculous but...Last year, there were rumours that Kanye was cheating on Kim with his favourite designer, Riccardo Tisci.
 This was fuelled by an interview where the designer who is openly gay gushed about an affair with a male artist which everyone presumed was Kanye because, Kanye had moved to Paris and was always with him all through..
However, just because they wore matching outfits at the designer's lavish 40th birthday bash again, the rumours have started..MTO claims they are still having an affair....

Here is what Riccardo said in 2011

“I have several but the one I think immediately is an experience I had with a man who is known. I never imagined that something could happen between us and it’s still the hottest weekend of my life. Nobody really knows if this guy is straight or gay, it is a mystery. However, I was attracted to him, his way of speaking, thinking, walking, dressing. I love what he does as an artist. This weekend both, this intimate moment has only reinforced my attraction to him.”

Justin Bieber bans Orlando Bloom from Ibiza party

Justin Bieber reportedly banned Orlando Bloom from a star-studded party in Ibiza on Friday night.

The 37-year-old hunk was allegedly refused entry into the birthday bash for Givenchy fashion designer Riccardo Tisci after the 20-year-old singer ordered his entourage to stop him from entering the celebration. 

An insider told the New York Post's Page Six column: "Bloom was on the way as a late arrival, but when he got to the starry bash, Bieber, who was already inside, had his entourage insist organisers keep Bloom out."

The Baby hitmaker then continued to party inside the Spanish venue along with Kim Kardashian, Kanye West, Kendall Jenner, Jared Leto and Kate Moss, while Orlando was forced to leave the area.

The snub follows an altercation involving the Lord of the Rings actor and Justin at the upmarket eatery Cipriani earlier this week.

Orlando reportedly swung a punch at the troubled star - who was rumoured to have slept with his then-wife Miranda Kerr almost two years ago - after Justin reportedly told him, "Say hi to Miranda for me."

Miranda's lawyer previously insisted that rumours she cheated on Orlando, with whom she has three-year-old son Flynn, with Justin after the Victoria's Secret fashion show in 2012 were "false and defamatory".
