Harry Styles and Kendall Jenner Hit the Snow Together in Mammoth Lakes


Kendall Jenner and Harry Styles are kicking off the new year in the snow.
The 18-year-old Keeping Up With the Kardashians star and Styles were spotted hanging out in Mammoth Lakes, Calif. Saturday, with Jenner opting for snowboarding and the One Direction singer skiing as they headed down the slope.
A few friends accompanied Jenner and Styles as they made their way down the snowy mountain, walking with the group in heavy coats, Volcom ski gear and snow goggles.
This is the second time this week the duo was spotted out and about together.
The British pop star and Jenner were photographed together for the first time in 2014, posing with a fan named Allie Connolly at a snowboard shop in Mammoth Lakes Friday.
Connolly shared the snapshots via her Twitter and Instagram pages, writing, "Casually hanging out with Kendall Jenner and Harry Styles. #dying."
Although the duo's latest sighting won't do anything to help calm romance rumors, both Jenner and Styles have insisted that their relationship is nothing more than platonic.
"We're friends. He's cool," the model said about the 19-year-old boybander when she attended the American Music Awards in November.
When Piers Morgan quizzed Styles about whether he was dating the brunette beauty after they were spotted sharing a meal Nov. 20 at Craig's restaurant in West Hollywood, Styles played coy, saying, "I mean, we went out for dinner, but no, I guess."

Miley Cyrus Gets Emotional With Crying Cats for American Music Awards Performance—Check It Out!

Miley Cyrus gave one of her more subdued performances during the 2013 American Music Awards.
The belated birthday girl belted "Wrecking Ball" while a digital cat sang along on the screen behind her.
But in case viewers weren't distracted enough by the lip-synching feline, Miley definitely didn't disappoint with her outfit.
The "We Can't Stop" singer wore a cat-print two-piece leotard that showed off, well, almost everything.
In what has quickly become her signature fashion, Miley opted for extremely high-cut bottoms that gave Smilers (and millions of people everywhere) a glimpse at her bod.
But don't get too startled. The ensemble wasn't that much different than the one that she wore during her MTV EMAs performance.

And if you could get past the revealing attire, the former Disney darling paired the skin-tight duds with massive (we're talking massive) lucite bangles and square-shaped earrings.
About midway through the ballad, the cat went from blissful to grumpy and began crying against a black backdrop.
Side bar: whoever was filming Miley made sure to keep their cameras just above waistline. Were they just trying to avoid anything potentially inappropriate perhaps? It's quite possible.
Either way, the cat and Miley sang their hearts out and ended the awards show on a high (or somber) note

2013 American Music Awards: The Best, Worst and Jaw Dropping Moments!

This year's American Music Awards was packed with moments that made us swoon, made us cheer, and made us stare at the screen in confusion.
From Rihanna's Icon Award win to Lady Gaga and R.Kelly's performance and Miley Cyrus's puzzling animated kitten, there were many memorable moments to be had.
Check out our picks for the best, worst and jaw dropping scenes from the 2013 American Music Awards!ut.
The Best:
Rihanna's Touching Moment With Her Mom: We're still a little puzzled over why Bill Maher introduced the "Stay" crooner to the stage for her soulful rendition of "Diamonds," but there was a super sweet moment to be had after Rihanna stunned in a black gown during her performance of the song. When the singer stepped on stage to pick up the AMAs first-ever Icon Award, her mom came out carrying the trophy.
"I'm so proud of you," her mom, Monica Braithwaite, said. "I know your journey hasn't been an easy one, but tonight I admire and applaud you for being so strong and so positive and so humble and so focused. It's amazing how you manage to take good from all your experiences." 
Justin Timberlake's Boredom: The "TKO" crooner looked super bored in the audience in the midst of Pitbull's nostalgic show opener. "It's a Miracle I'm here tonight," Pitbull said. The camera soon cut to Timberlake looking aloof and clapping slowly in the audience. He miraculously came to life though when he won Favorite Pop/Rock male, telling Taylor Swift she looked "lovely tonight" as he accepted the award from her. He went on to completely own the show winning Favorite male R&B/Soul Artist, Favorite male Pop/Rock artist and Favorite R&B/Soul Album for The 20/20 Experience.

Jennifer Lopez's Celia Cruz Tribute: Dressed up in a colorful flamenco-style dress to pay tribute to the late salsa icon, J.Lo hit the stage with a gaggle of dancers for a performance that caused the audience to leap to their feet. 
One Direction's First Big Win: Taylor and her ex-Harry Styles went head to head for favorite pop/rock album, with the boy band taking home the award in the end. The nod was particularly special to the group considering it was their first time at the AMAs and their first win.

Pitbull's Twerking Contest
: We don't know if Pitbull was having a twerking contest orwhat, but when he brought four ladies clad in black onesies on the stage to do a few dance moves, (the Doo Doo Brown, etc.) a very awkward moment ensued.The Worst:
Lady Gaga and R. Kelly (President Robert)'s Performance: In what looked like a "Trapped in the Closet" reboot, R. Kelly sang his way through "Do What You Want" as President Robert, while Mother Monster crooned the duet dressed as what appeared to be Marilyn Monroe. Never one to put on a tame performance, the pop star ended up getting straddled by R. Kelly before the show was done.

The Talking Cat in Miley Cyrus' performance background: 
What does a talking (and crying) kitten have to do with a wrecking ball? We're not sure. That aside, the singer hit the stage rocking a very high cut-out leotard with kittens all over it and performed in front of a backdrop that had a huge anime kitten in it. ABC did its best to cut around her barely-there onesie. The Jaw Dropper:
