One Direction sang “Perfect” during Friday’s 2015 Royal Variety Performance. Watch below!

As Gossip Cop has reported, the Royal Variety Performance is an annual charity gala that dates back to 1912. The variety show serves as a fundraiser for Entertainment Artistes’ Benevolent Fun. Members of the monarchy attend each year, with a tux-clad Prince Harry among the notables sitting in the audience at the Royal Albert Hall for the 2015 event.

In addition to One Direction, Little Mix also performed, along with Elton John, Ricky Martin, and Josh Groban. Other participants included Kacey Musgraves, Brandon Flowers, and Kylie Minogue. Continuing tradition, the reigning “Britain’s Got Talent” winners also took the stage.

For One Direction, it was the group’s second year in a row performing. Groban amusingly tweeted from backstage, “I just met @onedirection while wearing a bathrobe. Long story. #RoyalVariety #hiphip.” Making it all the more special, the event coincided with the release of the group’s new album, Made In The A.M.

Next week, One Direction will travel to the United States for a number of promotional appearances to support the album. That will include an outdoor concert for “Jimmy Kimmel Live.” Check out a clip of the Royal Variety Performance below, and stay tuned for longer video.

Kim Kardashian is not shy about a number of things, including how much she hates being pregnant. In a recent interview, Kardashian admitted being pregnant is “awful.” Now that the expectant mother is only a few weeks from her due date, Gossip Cop is taking a look back at all of the times Kardashian has said she hates being pregnant.

1. In a recent E! interview, Kardashian confessed, “I just don’t think pregnancy and me really agree with each other.” “I hate it. You know pregnancy is not for me,” she said, adding, “It’s awful.”

2. In an October blog post on her website, the reality star complained, “For me, pregnancy is the worst experience of my life! LOL! I don’t enjoy one moment of it and I don’t understand people who enjoy it. I feel insecure and most of the time I just feel gross.”

3. In June, Kardashian complained of morning sickness, tweeting, “So [expletive] sick today on all levels!!!!! UGHHHHHHHHH I can’t deal!!!!!!!!!! Praying I get through the day!”

4. In a 2014 episode of “Keeping Up With The Kardashians,” a pregnant Kardashian was rushed to the hospital in tears. While the doctors tried to figure out what was causing her so much pain, she told Kris Jenner, “I hate this, I can never do this again.”

5. During a 2014 appearance on “Ellen,” Kardashian said that while her labor was relatively easy, her pregnancy was not. She griped, “The whole pregnancy was so bad. I had a few medical issues, so it was really tough, and I gained a lot of weight.”

6. During a 2013 interview with Ryan Seacrest, Kardashian admitted she told Khloe Kardashian not to get pregnant with Lamar Odom: “I’ll call her and say ‘Don’t do it! You’re so lucky.’” She explained that her pregnancy was filled with “a lot of pain everywhere. I’m in pain physically. I was waiting for this amazing experience where I can just do whatever I want, eat whatever I want, feel great, and it hasn’t been that way.”

Kim Kardashian says Lamar Odom still has a long road to recovery and may never “be the same again.” Listen below.

The entire Kardashian-Jenner family has been by Odom’s side ever since he was found unconscious in Neveda brothel last month. As Gossip Cop reported, even though Odom’s condition has improved, he is in no way out of the woods. Khloe Kardashian and the rest of her family have vowed to help Odom through this trying time, but now Kim is admitting no one knows what’s in store for the former NBA star.

During an interview with “On Air With Ryan Seacrest” on Friday, the reality TV star said of Odom, “He’s here and he’s alive, but to say it’s not a long road and to say he’s fully better is not the truth either.” She noted, “He has a lot of work to do and a lot of communication therapy and having to learn to walk again and to talk again. You never know if he’ll ever be the same again.”

Even though Kim insists her sister will never stop supporting Odom, she made it clear that Khloe has already moved on from their romantic relationship. “I respect Khloe so much,” she told Seacrest. “She dropped her entire life, and has been so there and supportive. But at the same time, what is she supposed to do when she hasn’t had communication with him in a while and she has a boyfriend and she’s finally moved on?”

But no matter what happens, Kim wants everyone to know the Kardashians and Jenners will always consider Odom part of their clan. “Lamar is family and he’ll always be family,” she said. “We’ll always do what we can to help take care of him, and protect him, and be there for him.”
