Kim Kardashian wants you to help her pick a dress for the 2010 Emmy Awards

When the Emmy Awards air on Sunday, August 29, Kim Kardashian will proudly walk the red carpet. And although the event is only two days away, the "Keeping Up with the Kardashians" star is still looking for a gown.

On Friday, Kim reached out to her loyal Twitter family to seek opinions on her Emmy dress choices. She tweeted: "I had a late nite Emmy dress fitting! Gonna post dress options on KimKardashian.com will u help me choose which dress to wear? Can't decide!"

You can log in to Kim's personal website to cast your votes for the best dress.
While Kim's reality show is not up for any awards this year, the reality star will be getting some face time. E! News has reported that Kim will be in front of the cameras but not for presenting any trophies. Tune in on Sunday night to see what Kim decided to wear and find out how she will be involved in the show.

Kim Kardashian Still Shopping for an Emmy Dress That Fits!

he Emmy awards are just days away and Kim Kardashian is still searching for her dress.

The Keeping Up With the Kardashians star is walking the red carpet and participating in Sunday's show (somehow), but as the curvy star told me last night, she's had some trouble finding a gown to fit her famous figure...

"My stylist Monica has some amazing choices," Kim told me while celebrating her L.A. Confidential magazine cover with sisters Kourtney and Khloé at the London West Hollywood hotel. "So far I haven't fit into anything yet so I was a little discouraged but she has so many more options and choices coming and we have a big fitting tomorrow, so I'm excited."

We're sure the stylish star will find something fabulous to wear.
As for Kourtney, she's planning to lay low with Scott and their son this weekend. "I am gonna stay home with Mason this weekend...have some playdates and some fun stuff," she told me.

Kourt also said that Scott was actually home watching Mason last night.

Scott's staying in with the baby and Kourt's painting the town? Now there's a pleasant switch from the way things were in Miami!

Kim Kardashian Admits to Being Obsessed with Justin Bieber

Beautiful and bootylicious reality TV star, Kim Kardashian, has not been quiet about her obsession -- along with many teen girls everywhere -- with teen sensation Justin Bieber. Kardashian confessed to George Lopez that she would date the "Baby" singer “if he was of legal age” on Tuesday’s Lopez Tonight. She added, “He definitely has this swag to him.”

Rumors sparked between the 16-year-old pop singer and 30-something bombshell in May when Bieber tweeted a photo of himself posing with Kardashian at the White House Correspondents Dinner. Attached to the photo was a message that said, “Look, it's my girlfriend!” Just moments later, Kardashian tweeted back, “I officially have Bieber fever!”
The two confessed they were joking around after Bieber’s fans started sending Kardashian death threats. Shortly after that incident, the two were photographed together on a Caribbean beach as part of an Elle photo spread of the two to appear in its September issue.

The Keeping Up with the Kardashians star admits, “I thought the shoot was all in fun, we had a good time,” when asked about the photo shoot. Kardashian added a few words for Bill O’Reilly, who felt the photos were inappropriate. “Everyone is entitled to their own opinion on it,” she said.

Kim Kardashian Look-alike Takes Top Billing

IS that Brandon Spikes, of the New England Patriots linebacker having sexy times with a Kim Kardashian look-alike in a Chatroulette interaction?

The film was originally offered for sale for a mere $1500. WorldStarHipHop bought it. What they paid is said, but if you like grainy videos of not overly attar give men and someone who looks like someone then it’s all to the good.
And it is not pleasant viewing, a true eye–closer of a porn flick. The golden rule of celebrity porn tapes is that the exposed star is a woman. So, while the headline says Spikes, the true star in the Kardashian look-alike.

Kim Kardashian Compliments Khloe's Private Parts

On the latest episode of 'Keeping Up With the Kardashians,' Khloe got laser hair removal for the first time. "You have a better, like, looking vagina than I thought," Kim said while watching the procedure.

"What? What did you think my vagina was going to look like?" Khloe asked. "I don't know, I never looked at your vagina," Kim said. "I thought it was, like, a shaved rashy vagina."
"I have a nice ass, too," Khloe said. Khloe previously received an at-home bikini wax from Kourtney.

Keeping Up With The Kardashians

Last night was the second episode of everyone's favorite reality show family: the Kardashians!

In case you miss the "Blind Date" episode of Keeping Up With The Kardashians Last night, August 29, Globalgrind has you covered!

If you are one of the four million followers of Kim Kardashian on twitter you saw she tweeted out a preview of what was going on during the second episode tweeting, "Tonight on Keeping Up w Kardashians u will c what my mom puts me thru and what @KhloeKardashian goes thru w the fam wanting 2 many Laker tix"
And that is exactly what last night’s episode was about, Kris Jenner trying to find Kim a nice guy to go on a date while everyone else in the family bothered Khloe Kardashian for LA Laker tickets.

Kim Kardashian and Justin Bieber photoshoot slammed by Bill O'Reil

TV pundit Bill O'Reilly has turned his guns on Kim Kardashian and Justin Bieber barely a week after branding Jennifer Aniston 'destructive to our society'.

Last night the 60-year-old Fox News rottweiler took exception to the age gap between the pair and said a photoshoot they did was 'inappropriate'.

He joked that Kardashian is '42,' (she's 29) and that Bieber, 16, 'looks like Ringo Starr'. But there was no doubting his distaste over the Mrs Robinson-themed pictures Kardashian and Bieber recently posed up for in Elle Magazine.
'It's a 16 year-old having an affair with a celebutante!'

Panelist Rebecca Diamond countered: 'It's every sixteen-year-old male's dream to have pictures with Kim Kardashian.'

O'Reilly then chimed in claiming that he personally wasn't interested in sexy older women when he was Bieber's age.

'I wanted to be a baseball player [when I was 16],' he said.

'I didn't want to hang around with Kim Kardashian. I had a baseball bat and a ball and [a pair of] ice skates! That's what I was doing.'

He then said: 'I will tell you this: If a 16-year-old girl was pictured with a 29-year-old man in any of that, he'd be in big trouble.'

Kim Kardashian Officially Angers Sephora

If you head to Sephora and can't find your fave Kim Kardashian perfume, it isn't because the scent sold out. It's because our girl Kim K. has royally peeved the beauty chain's execs.

Kim, along with her perfume manufacturer Lighthouse Beauty, signed an exclusive contract with Sephora. Now that the deal is near its end, Kim & Co. have shopped her scent with Macy's and Target—without offering Sephora a first right of refusal.
Execs at Sephora are so disappointed that they're planning on pulling her scent from stores and have already canceled several of her upcoming appearances. There's no word yet on when this will all happen, but you might keep an eye out for Kim at a Target near you.

Expanding to mass market retailers makes sense for Kim, but is this a case of biting the hand that feeds you? Couldn't they have come up with a compromise?

Kim Kardashian hits the gym

When you're the star of one of the highest rated shows on television, you have to keep yourself in good shape for the cameras.

And Kim Kardashian certainly takes care of herself, if her hourglass figure is anything to go by.

The reality TV star paid a visit to a Sherman Oaks gym this morning in Los Angeles, wearing skintight black bottoms that emphasised her every curve. Kim kept her famous derriere under wraps with a black shirt. She almost succeeded.
According to the Hollywood Reporter, Sunday night's episode was the E! network's highest-rated and most watched season opener ever and the network’s second most watched telecast ever.

With such a huge audience following Kim's every move, she has to take constant care and maintenance of her much-envied body.

Laurence Fishburne and Kim Kardashian Keep Their Distance at Emmys

Is it any wonder that after 19-year-old Montana Fishburne announced that Kim Kardashian was the inspiration behind her decision to go into XXX acting, her famous father, Laurence Fishburne, avoided Kim at last night's Emmy Awards?

"Laurence wanted nothing to do with Kim," an insider tells me. "He didn't want to meet her, sit by her, and certainly was not going to have a picture taken with her."

In July, Montana said she hoped to make a name for herself with a sex tape being released by Vivid, citing socialite Kim as her inspiration.
"I've watched how successful Kim Kardashian became and I think a lot of it was due to the release of her sex tape," Montana said. "I'm hoping the same magic will work for me."

"Kim was just as shocked by the statement as anyone else," a friend of Kim's tells me. "She has worked so hard to get past the whole sex tape drama, and now thanks to Montana everyone is talking about it again. Kim wanted to see Laurence last night as much as he wanted to see her."

Happy to hear the feeling is mutual!

Kim Kardashian a red carpet hit... no, really

I know that this will some day come back to haunt me and wind up on my permanent record, but I'm going to go out on a sartorial limb and say that Kim Kardashian actually looks good in her Marchesa gown. Yes, the woman is as orange as a 1970s Formica counter top, but at least her supernatural glow contrasts nicely with the gown.

Rihanna’s opening act changes, Geneva’s McCoy won't perform

Travie McCoy of Gym Class Heroes fame, won’t have a homecoming at the New York State Fair after all.
McCoy, a native of Geneva, was scheduled as the opening act for Rihanna at tonight’s Grandstand show.

Instead, DJ Ross Rosco will take McCoy’s place. DJ Ross Rosco has opened for Aretha Franklin, Diana Ross, Jay-Z, Young Jeezy and Robin Thicke in the past.
The State Fair has not said why McCoy dropped out of Saturday night’s show.

Tickets to see Rihanna will be available at the New York State Fair Box Office until the start of the show at 7:30 p.m. They cost $55 and $45 and include admission to the Fair.

Rihanna brings war-like set to life in tour’s final show

Segmenting the action during Rihanna’s headliner show at the United Center Wednesday were video sequences
that showed the singer in a deep sleep and monitored by computer technicians. Which suggested her subconscious was busy at work designing what came to life on the stage.

Paging Dr. Freud. Machine guns, mushroom clouds, and crashed cars were the dominant themes of her 90-minute show as was a life-size army tank (painted pink) parked in the crowd that became an unusual refuge for the singer and her crew to perform “Hate That I Love You,” a ballad about doomed love that became a feel-good, stadium singalong.

As the video sequence said: “Welcome to Rihanna’s World.” Even if concertgoers were unaware of her history as a battered girlfriend, Rihanna provided a show that was psychologically complex without appearing self-pitying or even kind of crass. Instead, the rich visuals gave her hits dimension and they also gave their singer a free pass from having to address anything directly.

This is Rihanna’s first headlining stadium tour and she is stepping up at a time when many female pop singers, Lady Gaga in particular, are presenting a cold sexuality and are purposely ambiguous about their own narrative. Instead of a person, all you get is self-help jingoism and a slavish dedication to the brand.

Rihanna’s thigh-high boots and black unitard moves her in the direction of that company, but it turned out to be more of a fashion statement. She allowed herself to be vulnerable, off-script and, when bashing that wrecked car with a baseball bat during “Shut Up and Drive,” enjoy a healthy dose of dumb fun.

There was also plenty of posing — strapped with guitar during “Rockstar 101” and, as Sheila E in a brief cover of “The Glamorous Life," a workout on the drums. But even these moves became playfully transparent as she didn’t mask that her band was doing all the heavy lifting.

She was as relatable as a pop star gets. The music veered from the hard mechanicals of modern R&B to dance-pop (“Disturbia”), ballads (“Unfaithful”), reggae (“Rude Boy”) and pop (“Live Your Life”). “Run This Town,” the Jay-Z hit to which she provides vocals, was performed late into the set, but after a night in which she clearly stood on her own, it felt like an afterthought.

Professional guitar shredder Nuno Bettencourt of the 1980s hair band Extreme was there to inflect hyperactive solos at certain key moments, but on songs like “Let Me” and “SOS,” they sounded like jolts of white noise.

Megan Fox's shrinking cheeks

24 Aug 2010 - Maybe there’s hope that surgically enhanced actress Megan Fox won’t end up a weird, pitiful plastic-surgery victim who doesn’t know when to stop changing her face.Plastic surgeon and blogger Dr. Nicholas Vendemia of New York sees signs that her face is returning to normal as her body absorbs injected filler that pumped up her cheeks to an abnormal extent.

In recent photos, her cheeks look smaller than in the recent past. “Her cheeks aren’t actually shrinking … they’re just going back to their normal, pre-injection, size,” Vendemia said. Previously, some celebrity watchers had speculated that Fox had gotten permanent cheek implants, but Vendemia’s theory was that she had gotten injections of filler.

“I stuck to my guns about her having an injectable cheekbone augmentation, and here’s the proof that I was right. Implants don’t go away, but fillers do! Sculptra and Evolence, which would have been good choices for Megan’s cheekbones, last 1-2 years. Alternatives like Juvederm last 6-8 months.”

Her current looks contrast with her appearance in June at the premiere of the movie “Jonah Hex,” when she was greeted with scorn by some celebrity watchers.
“Megan Fox Disfigured Face Result Of Botox Injections!?!” said a headline on the Bumpshack.com, which this blog’s facebook page ran under the heading “Dept. of Exaggerated Headlines.”

Cosmetic medicine consultant Wendy Lewis commented, “You’re so right, Colin. How bad can Megan ever look?”

BumpShack.com said Fox “looked like a complete Botox-ed mess.” It added:

What the heck did Megan do to her face?

You worked with Megan Fox in Jennifer's Body, what are you getting her for a wedding gift?
Maybe a crock pot from Target. A very, very nice crock pot.

In Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World you act alongside Anna Kendrick. Are you a Twilight fan?
I haven't seen them yet. I haven't decided which team I'm on yet.

Dominic Monaghan indulges in ‘inappropriate’ behaviour with Megan Fox

Dominic Monaghan says it felt “all right” to lock lips with Megan Fox while shooting the video version of Eminem’s chart-topper “Love the Way You Lie.” Many were envying the luck of the Lost alum, but he maintains that he knew that Megan was married and he respects marriage and promised her at the outset that he wasn’t going to slip into anything inappropriate.
“What is it like kissing Megan Fox? It’s all right,” the actor dished on MTV News. “No I’m just kidding. It’s fine, it’s work. She’s married. I have a lot of respect for marriage.”

Megan has recently married longtime beau Brian Austin Green and when time came for Monaghan to go up-close with the Transformers hottie, Fox found him saying, “Look, I know that you’re married and I don’t want to do anything inappropriate,” and her reply was, Monaghan doles out, “’It’s all kind of inappropriate, huh?’ ”

Megan Fox borrows eight-year-old's clothes

Actress Megan Fox has washboard abs, and guess what she does to show them off? She borrows clothes from her eight-year-old stepson Kassius.

The 24-year-old actress has been photographed in a tiny Star Wars top as well as a green Voltron number, which have also been worn in public by Kassius, reports dailymail.co.uk.
While the T-shirts look loose and baggy on Kassius, they are short and tight on Fox, who has always preferred a casual look with jeans and tops in her daily life, rather than girly dresses.

Fox became stepmother to Kassius - her husband Brian Austin Green's son from his relationship with actress Vanessa Marcil - when she married the former Beverley Hills, 90210, star in July.

Megan Fox's Sexy 'Cosmopolitan' Outtakes

Is there such a thing as too much Megan Fox? Yeah, we don't think so either.

Though the Jonah Hex babe has largely been out of the headlines since her wedding to Brian Austin Green in July (and since being replaced by Rosie Huntington-Whiteley in the Transformers franchise)
Foxy-Megan.com has thankfully unearthed these scorching-hot outtakes from Fox's October 2009 Cosmopolitan shoot, just in case we were in danger of forgetting how stunning she is.

Megan Fox donating salary from Eminem music video

Yahoo! Finance reports that 24-year-old Fox, who stars opposite Lost actor Dominic Monaghan as one half of a physically abusive couple, has given her salary to the Sojourn House, which provides battered women and their kids with a place to rebuild their self-esteem and their lives. In the powerful video, which also features Rihanna, Fox and Monaghan, 33, are shown alternately attacking each other and passionately making out.
Both Eminem, 37, and Rihanna, 22, have had personal experiences with domestic violence, and as Rihanna told Access Hollywood, "The lyrics were so deep, so beautiful and intense. It's something that I understood, something I connected with."

For his part, Eminem felt it was an issue that needed to be addressed. "Trying to make this tough subject work visually is a challenge," he admitted. "It was great to have Rihanna, Megan and Dominic on board for this. They really brought it and made this video super-powerful."

Megan Fox replaces Lara Stone as the face of Giorgio Armani make-up line

Lara Stone may be the model of the moment, but for Giorgio Armani, it's all about Megan Fox, who is set to take over from the Dutch beauty as the face of his cosmetics line.

The announcement has come as little surprise to the industry, which has watched the 24-year-old's relationship with the veteran Italian designer go from strength to strength in recent years.

She is a regular at his catwalk shows, and wore an Armani Privé gown for her recent wedding to 90210 star Brian Austin Green.
Fox even replaced Victoria Beckham as the face of the label's underwear campaign earlier this year - a role Beckham had held since 1998.

In a statement today she said: Mr Armani is an iconic visionary for all things fashion.

'I’m honored to be associated with him and part of this campaign.'

And the praise from the designer was mutual. Armani called the actress 'confident and seductive.'

'She embodies the spirit of the women of today... Her beautiful features reveal femininity, sensuality and strength,' he said.

She is the latest in a line of high-profile actresses to front a beauty campaign for a major brand.

Emma Watson launches new People Tree collection

After her dramatic re-branding with a new pixie haircut just last week, and with the long-awaited Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows press campaign underway, Emma Watson has been hitting the headlines of late. The latest news? The British actress-cum-model-cum-designer announced yesterday (August 18) that she will be launching her spring/summer 2010 collection for Fairtrade label, People Tree, at a garden party thrown by none other than HRH, Prince Charles.

“A Garden Party to make a Difference” is a 12-day eco-festival organised by the Prince’s Charities, going from September 8 – 19. Combining music from Jools Holland with comedy from Ben Elton and Alistair McGowan, alongside fashion and food, the festival offers hints on how to take those small steps towards a more sustainable future, all in the grounds of Clarence House.
Holding up the fashion fort, Watson’s new collection, her third for the brand, will be presented in a fashion show on September 11 in the historic Friary Court of St James’s Palace.

“I’m so thrilled that People Tree will be showing the spring/summer collection at ‘A Garden Party to Make a Difference’. I think the Prince of Wales’s initiative is such a brilliant idea,” said the conscientious 20-year-old, who started the collaboration after becoming increasingly frustrated at the lack of humanitarian alternatives to “fast fashion”.

Harry Potter star Emma Watson leaves fans spellbound as she launches new movie in daring black lace hotpants

Emma Watson was hoping to put a spell on her fans when she announced the 100-day countdown to the new Harry Potter movie sporting her new short hairstyle - and goth-style black lace hotpants.

Emma, who plays Hermione Granger, unveiled the new poster for Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows Part 1, the penultimate film adaptation of the JK Rowling books which will show at cinemas from November 19.
She unveiled her gamine crop - which drew comparisons to Mia Farrow in the 1960s - last week, but left some fans unhappy that she'd abandoned Hermione's trademark long flowing, wavy locks.

However, the actress will be hoping that her super-short edgy outfit will get them back onside - by fair means or foul.

It also shows that Emma's love affair with fashion is still going strong, despite the recent news that she'd been dropped as the face of British label Burberry.

Emma Watson denies trying for Girl With Dragon Tattoo

A representative for Harry Potter star Emma Watson has denied reports that the actress is auditioning for the lead role in an upcoming big screen adaptation of The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo. Watson, 20, had sparked speculation she was trying for the role of edgy computer hacker Lisbeth
Salander after she debuted a short pixie hairstyle earlier this month, the Daily Express reported.

Emma WatsonShe was said to be leading the race for the role, fighting off competition from actresses including Ellen Page and Carey Mulligan.

But according to GossipCop.com, a spokesperson for Watson has denied the speculation, saying the rumour is “absolutely false on all accounts”

Emma Watson for Dragon Tattoo?

Emma Watson has been linked to the starring role in The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo.

The Harry Potter star - who recently unveiled a stunning new pixie haircut - has reportedly auditioned for the English remake of the hit Swedish film, based on Stieg Larsson's best-selling novel, starring Daniel Craig as investigative journalist Mikael Blomkvist.

According to The Sun, 20-year-old is rumoured to have auditioned for director David Fincher, and cut her hair off so she would look the part.

The title character, Lisbeth Salander, is a deeply troubled genius computer hacker tormented by a terrible childhood, with short hair and punky, goth style.
If the rumours are true, Emma's gamble might pay off. Noomi Rapace, who plays Lisbeth in the Swedish films of Larsson's Millennium trilogy, cut her hair and made herself look punky for her audition as movie bosses thought she was too feminine for the part.

Other actresses linked to the role for the English remake include Ellen Page, Natalie Portman, Carey Mulligan, Kristen Stewart and Alice In Wonderland star Mia Wasikowska.

Emma shocked fans last week when she posted a picture of her new haircut on her Facebook page and wrote: "Cut my hair off a few days ago. Feels incredible... It's the most liberating thing ever."

Rupert Grint, Daniel Radcliffe and Emma Watson in 'Deathly Hallows' Promotional Image

KansasCity.com has published a promotional image from Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows featuring Daniel Radcliffe as Harry, Rupert Grint as Ron, and Emma Watson as Hermione.

The picture is a still from the scene in Part 1 when the disheveled trio enter Grimmauld Place after fending off an attack by Death Eaters in a London cafe.

We've seen the image previously in a smaller size and resolution as part of the 2011 Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows calendars available for pre-order now through Amazon, but now you can see it in its medium res form here in our galleries.

Emma Watson & Alexa Chung’s Designer Collabs

This fall will welcome two more celebrity-spawned designer collaborations. First up is Alexa Chung's sartorial installation for Madewell, J. Crew's younger, lower-priced, ladies-only line. Chung's collection--chock-full of flirty dresses, Elaine-esque silk blouses and cuffed denim--premiered back at New York's FW10 fashion week in February. But its debut on Madewell's racks isn't slated until Fashion's Night Out (September 10th) at New York's upcoming SS11 fashion week. Ads for the collection (pictured here), however, are roaming the digital sphere. Meanwhile, Chung recently mused to Refinery 29 on her new gig, divulging her favorite piece: "I really like the black sheer shirt with polka dots...I love how graphic it is, and it's such an easy piece to throw on with jeans;" her fashion week essentials: "a camera... a good umbrella... [and] No stupid shoes! I'll definitely be wearing lots of flats;" and, her signature locks: "Oh, my hair always looks a bit rubbish, but I guess I'm always alternating between a very short bob and a very long bob."
Fellow Brit Emma Watson likewise will soon unveil her collection for People Tree. In fact, the newly pixie’d thespian just announced that “she will be launching her spring/summer 2010 collection for Fair Trade label, People Tree, at a garden party thrown by none other than HRH, Prince Charles,” says the Telegraph. Unlike Chung for Madewell, however, this collaboration marks the third collection from Watson for People Tree. The actress’ latest makes its debut via a runway show the day after Chung’s on September 11th in the Friary Court of St James’s Palace in London.

JESSICA Alba would rather stay home than be out working.

The actress — who raises daughter Honor Marie with husband Cash Warren — says she prefers her role as a mother and a wife.

“It’s tough to work because I would rather be home,” says Alba, who stars in new movie Machete.“Kids grow up so fast so it’s sad to be away. But I’m lucky that I don’t have to work all the time.”

Alba recently revealed that she and Warren had an instant connection when they first met.

“Right after I met [Cash], I called my best friend and was like, ‘I met this guy and I feel like I’ve known him forever and I’m gonna know him for the rest of my life,” she said earlier this month.

“The romantic stuff comes and goes, but it’s like, does that person have your back?

“You have to be a team navigating through wherever life may lead you and I want a friend for that.”

Jessica Alba charms her way out of a possible speeding ticket from a Beverly Hills cop

Her smile got her a multi-million dollar deal to be the face of Revlon make up.

But Jessica Alba also found it pretty useful when facing a speeding ticket too.

She was pulled over by a motorcycle cop in Beverly Hills earlier today after being spotted apparently driving too fast.

When the 29-year-old actress rolled down her window flashing a big smile, the officer realised who it was he had pulled over and the Open Water star was free to carry on after a friendly chat.

This was even though he had what looked like a radar gun in hand ready to prove she was driving over the speed limit.

After several minutes of polite conversation the officer went back to his bike and Jessica, driving a GMC Yukon hybrid SUV, was on her way.


Jess has recently returned from France where she had been on holiday with her husband, Cash Warren, their two-year-old daughter Honor Marie and Jessica's parents.

She originally arrived without her husband in early July to check out the fashion shows at Paris Haute Couture Week.

But after getting her fashion fix, she headed south to Provence to reunite with film producer husband Warren, whose mother has a house there.
