This week saw a contrast between Beauties and Beasts as the sporting, celebrity and fashion world's collided at two big night's out.

The Beasts


We begin with what was touted as the fight of the century between Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao but turned out to just be the match up of the century with a rather boring end to an expensive and over hyped event. But where there's hype there will be celebrities and so they descended turning the local airports into a parking lot for private jets as the rich and famous arrived to watch the fight. Bets were made with Diddy and Mark Wahlberg making an outrageous $250,000 bet before the fight. The night kicked off with Jamie Foxx performing the national anthem which was of questionable quality for a fight of equally questionable quality.

Since the fight there has been some controversy with Manny admitting to a shoulder injury and undergoing surgery this week however since admitting to the injury he has been hit with a lawsuit and could face fines from boxing organizations.

The Beauties


It wasn't all blood, sweat and tears this week with the Met Gala taking place at the Metropolitan Museum of Art with every beautiful celebrity you can imagine clamoring for the spotlight. We begin with couples in the lime light on the red carpet as Chrissy Teigen and John Legend made their entrance followed by George and Amal Clooney close behind and newly engaged couple Robert Pattinson and FKA Twigs also making an appearance.

However the night was focused on a few celebs who shone brighter with 45-year-old Jennifer Lopez gaining attention while revealing a naked hip and Jennifer Lawrence looking gorgeous in Dior along with Selena Gomez who also garnered attention in a white Vera Wang dress. However not all celebrities fared well gaining attention because of questionable choices in wardrobe with Beyoncé leaving little to the imagination with a see-through dress followed by a battle for best meme between Rihanna's dress compared to a pizza and omelets and ending with Sarah Jessica Parker and her outrageous headpiece compared to multiple cartoon characters.

Another week of awards shows and revelations as the Hollywood machine continued to tick over churning out more entertainment news.

Madonna and Taylor Swift on stage together

Awards


The Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards took place in LA over the weekend with big names attending including celebrity moms like Angelina Jolie who made her first appearance, since having more preventative operations, taking her flock of kids along with Katie Holmes who took Suri Cruise to the child friendly event. As usual their were plenty of performances with 5 Seconds of Summer performing and getting slimmed along with awards being handed out with the Modern Family cast winning and, you guessed it, getting slimmed.

It wasn't just the kids that had fun this weekend with the 2015 iHeartRadio Music Awards taking place hosted by Jamie Foxx who even sang a song about being an "African-American Sniper". Fortunately he wasn't the only performer with Taylor Swift joining Madonna on stage for her performance but it didn't end there with performance from Sam Smith singing "Lay Me Down" and Snoop Dogg performing "Peaches N Cream" along with Rhianna performing "Bitch Better have my Money" for the first time. But it wouldn't be an award show without awards and there were plenty given out with Taylor Swift being the biggest winner of the night.

Celebrities


Outside of award ceremonies celebrities were busy with Robert Pattinson getting engaged to FKA Twigs. Jay Z took on a new venture when he announced a new streaming music service joined by a plethora of celebrities. Trevor Noah was named the new host of the Daily Show but it was soon followed by backlash after old tweets he had made were deemed offensive.

From there it all went downhill with Lil Wayne saying he had sold his mansion after an earlier swatting incident and music legend Joni Mitchell made an emergency visit to the hospital after being found unconscious. Things weren't pretty in the Williams household with Robin Williams kids fighting with Robin's third wife over his estate. In TV land Justin Bieber's roast was finally aired on Comedy Central as a transparent excuse to gain forgiveness for his recent behaviour and finally we end the week with another documentary about unusual behaviour when the "Going Clear: Scientology and the Prison of Belief" documentary aired with claims that Scientology had control over John Travolta, which explains a lot.
