Photos From Kim Kardashian's Baby Shower

On Sunday tables were set, final flower arrangements were adjusted and the red carpet was rolled out at the baby shower party which took place in Beverly Hills on Sunday at the multi-million dollar home of Shelli Azoff.
Shelli is the wife of West’s former manager Irving Azoff and Kris Jenner’s best friend.
More than 50 guests sat amongst tens of thousands of dollars of flowers in a series of private garden marquees erected especially for the occasion.

With the shower themed in the colour pink, to coincide with the sex of the baby, which was revealed on the family's reality show on Sunday.
The reality star was spotted being driven to the Beverly Hills property by sister Khloe and then mingling with guests once the party kicked off.
Kim, who wore a flowing white gown, kept her head down and had a small smile on her face as Khloe sat behind the wheel of her white Range Rover.

Undercover father: Kim's baby daddy Kanye West made what looked like a reluctant appearance at the end of the event

Doing the rounds: There was a large number of people there but Kim took the time to talk to them all

Keeping cool: Kim kept herself shaded with the help of a large white umbrella which a security guard held over her

Let the fun begin: Setting up the big day would have been a rather large task, with many guests to cater for and certainly high expectations... and the outcome was delightful

She kept cool as a security guard shielded her with a white umbrella while she mingled with guests, amidst thousands of dollars of flowers in a series of private garden marquees erected especially for the occasion.
Guests enjoyed a substantial brunch of pancakes, waffles, bacon and fruit – before entertaining the mom-to-be with games and guessing baby names.
And the reality star was no doubt delighted when baby daddy Kanye West made a rare appearance with the family - arriving with his grey hood up shielding his face from the cameras which unlike Kim he is not a fan of.

Sister act: Kourtney also chose white in the form of a short lace frock which put her slender pins on display

Down-to-earth: Khloe went barefoot as she made her entrance, no doubt to avoid letting heels slow her down

Important role: Kourtney was tasked with being in charge of the gifts and carried a handful of presents

Kanye - who was noticebly absent from the family's holiday to Greece - finally joined them to welcome guests including Kelly Osbourne, Maria Menounos, Kimberly Stewart, NeNe Leakes and Mel B to celebrate the new addition to the clan due in July.
A source told PEOPLE magazine: 'Kanye's whole family – all the women from his mom's side and dad's side – attended the shower.
'Kanye was so excited to have his family be there to join in the celebration with Kim's friends and family.'

'Kim and Kanye were so cute – he rubbed her belly,' the Kardashian's aunt Karen Houghton said.
'They're just really blessed. It's such a happy day.'

Excited: Kim kept her head down but wore a small smile on her face as she prepared to greet her guests

Big day: With an A-list guestlist the baby shower has been highly anticipated by all involved

However another report claimed Kanye looked far from happy, as a source told Radar Online the rap superstar arrived later than most of the guests and left earlier.
'Kanye arrived as many of the guests were leaving.
'You could tell Kim was wondering where he was. The singer didn’t look happy to be there [and] dodged cameras that were shooting for Kim’s reality show,' the source claimed.

Flower child: Kourtney wore an adorable garland on top of her wavy brown tresses

Ready to go: Kourtney was joined by a pal as they arrived early for the celebrations

Her bundle of joy: Kourtney was seen carrying her daughter Penelope, who wore a white lace onesie, in her arms

'Whereas Kim was extremely gracious to all of her guests, and made it a point to spend time talking to them, Kanye looked like he had been sucking on lemons. Several of Kim’s friends felt sorry for her because Kanye just couldn’t put a genuine smile on his face.'
Though Kim and Kanye reportedly requested their guests make donations to charity instead of buying presents for their baby, the couple was still showered with some gifts, many purchased from high-end Bel Bambini boutique.
Kim was well supported by her family as usual, sister Khloe has recently shed 30lbs and looked stunning as she showed off her fantastic figure in an angelic white dress.

Part of the family: Kim's BFF Brittny Gastineau chatted to Kris after filling up her plate with food

Cute as a button: Kourtney's son Mason could not have looked any more cute as he matched his mother and sister in white

Can I get some tips?: Kris Jenner cornered trainer to the stars Tracy Anderson as she sat at her table

The tulip skirt frock was cinched in at Khloe’s waist with a gold belt and she tied her ombre locks into a half updo.
The 28-year-old showed how down-to-earth she was as she went barefoot ahead of slipping on her heels for the party, which was taking place in the property's impressive garden.
Kourtney went for a similar look as she also chose white, in the form of a lacy short frock, but unleashed her inner flower child with a head garland which was later seen on many of the female guests.

I've got one too!: The 17-year-old joined in the fun as she sported a floral headband like many of the guests

'Pigging out': Kendall filled up on a hearty breakfast of waffles, bacon, hash browns and raspberries

Party favours: Guests enjoyed cupcakes from Beverley Hills favourite Sprinkles

The eldest Kardashian sibling, 34, was tasked with being in charge of the gifts and was spotted ferrying a handful of presents into the building.
Kendall Jenner, who like the majority of the guests had a matching headband, appeared to be helping out her half-sister with the preparations as she shared a picture from inside the expansive marquee.
The 17-year-old model showed off her bright outfit in an Instagram shot, which she captioned ‘baby blue’.

The star tweeted a photo of a plate of waffles, bacon, has browns and raspberries and declared that she was 'pigging out'.
Kris Jenner meanwhile went all-out in hot pink with a collared dress, studded heels and handbag for the bash, which was of course being filmed for an upcoming episode of Keeping Up With The Kardashians.

Am I the only guy here?: Lamar looked a little apprehensive as he made his way inside with Scott following

Hurry up, Kanye: The basketball star was outnumbered by women and appeared to be looking for a male companion

Khloe and Lamar managed to find time for a romantic moment and it's no wonder they were in an amorous mood as the estate is where their 2009 wedding took place.
Lamar would no doubt have been grateful that Kourtney's partner Scott Disick was also on hand so that they could talk man-to-man amidst all the girly chat.
Kourtney's gorgeous children were also there, with Mason looking adorable in his white shirt ensemble while Penelope wore a white lace onesie.

Let's drive: Khloe and Lamar rode off into the sunset together with huge smiles on their faces

Wheel-y fun: Kourtney drove herself home at the end of the day after saying her goodbyes

Giving the game away: Just before Kim revealed she was having a girl, Kris hinted at it with her pink outfit

As well as the Kardashian clan naturally being in attendance for the special occasion, several famous faces were seen at the event.
Kelly Osbourne chose a white blouse tucked into a denim skirt, along with a baby pink studded Alice band and matching retro sunglasses and sandals.
But the Fashion Police host revealed more than she intended to when a gust of wind exposed her control underwear.

Meanwhile NeNe Leakes of Real Housewives Of Atlanta fame chose an unusual brown dress with green trim, as Kimberly Stewart turned Sixties siren in a plant printed dress with puffed long sleeves.
The frock showed off Rod’s daughter’s endless legs, which were topped off with chunky brown caged ankle boots.
Mel B looked lovely in a white pencil dress and black high heels, and Kim's trainer Tracy Anderson was also there, no doubt making sure not to indulge in too many treats.

Gunmen Storm Obasanjo Farms, Kidnap 2 Asian Workers

Unknown gunmen suspected to be kidnappers had on Friday morning stormed Obasanjo’s farms in Mfamosong, Akamkpa Local Government Area of Cross River State and kidnapped two Asians said to be staff of the Oil Palm Estate.

It was gathered that the kidnappers who were said to have stormed the farm in a taxi, shot sporadically to scare people away from the farm and immediately kidnapped the two persons and took them to a waiting boat near the seaside.

Speaking on the condition of anonymity, a resident of the area narrated that, “Today in Mfamosong, kidnappers came and kidnapped two white men inside the company premises. They came in a taxi to a farm that used to belong to former president, Obasanjo but has been sold out to a Chinese company. The kidnappers drove inside the premises of the company, shooting sporadically and abducted two white men into their taxi and drove straight to the waterside where they put them in a speed boat and left with them,” he stated.

A member of the community said that the kidnappers were yet to make demands and that the victims were of Indonesia and Malaysian origin.

He said, “It was in the morning around 7:30 – 8am when the two persons were kidnapped. There was no security at the farm that morning. The security operates only at night, not the daytime.”

He said that the place where the incident took place belong to Akwa Ikot Effanga and Mfamasong and that the suspected kidnappers must have come from that Akwa Ikot Effanga side.

“They came with a small car and left with a flying boat, the driver of the car hid in the waiting car and there was nobody to pursue them. They were shooting into the air, went inside the premises, kidnapped the men and dashed inside the river” he said.

He said that the victims were staff Obasanjo;s former farm, now taken over by Wilma, a Chinese company, adding that the duo whose names were yet to be known go to the farm everyday.

When the State Police Public Relations Officer, Mr. John Umoh, a Deputy Superintendent of Police was contacted, he said he had not been briefed.

He said, “I am not aware of that report. Let me call you latter; let me get in touch with the DPO there.”

However, the PPRO did not call again and even efforts made to hear from him did not yield any result as he did not pick up his calls and also did not respond to text messages.
