Kardashian Sisters: Kim Kardashian wedding planning with Kris Humphries?

Kim Kardashian wedding planning with Kris Humphries?

[Apr. 14]

Is reality television star (now questionable singer and possible movie star) Kim Kardashian talking about wedding plans to NBA star and Harry Potter troll lookalike Kris Humphries? Some sources say so. Most shocking is a tweet coming from Kim’s Twitter account that made mention of her “future husband,” though the green celebrity and Keeping Up with the Kardashians star has said it was just Kris Humphries fiddling with her phone, says Hollywood Life. Maybe he’s got more interest in getting hitched to the reality television than she does? Sources doubt it.

Celebrity Cafe reports that Kim Kardashian has spoken to Life and Style Magazine:

Kardashian has talked about what wedding ring she would want. “I want Lorraine to design me a big diamond ring,” Kardashian told friend Brittny Gastineau. A friend also said, “Her idol is Elizabeth Taylor, who was a good friend of Lorraine’s, so she wants to take inspiration from one of Elizabeth’s prized possessions: her famous cushion-cut Krupp diamond. Kim’s been talking to Lorraine about it a lot lately,” according to Terra.com.

Kim Kardashian and an insider went on to tell Life and Style Magazine that the reality television star and green celebrity has long envisioned what her wedding will be like. The insider tells the magazine that Kim already is planning a trip to Paris for a Chanel wedding gown. “She wants a white strapless floor-length gown that’s traditional but sexy and makes her feel like a princess,” says the insider.

DWTS: Kirstie Alley modern dance version of a Cinderella story?

DWTS News!

Kirstie Alley new modern dance version of Cinderella story?

[Apr. 12]

Actress Kirstie Alley is having a little trouble on Dancing with the Stars, but she’s been recovering nicely, continuing to earn respectable scores from the judges. Last week, Maksim Chmerkovskiy had a fall during the Rumba to the tune of Over the Rainbow, taking Kirstie Alley down with him, but they recovered. Kirstie Alley joked that she’d wind up having a wardrobe malfunction, which wound up happening. During this week’s Waltz, the Cheers and Who’s Talking Now actress lost a shoe.

While Kirstie Alley and Maksim Chmerkovskiy make it seem almost effortless to recover from some bizarre mishaps the last couple of weeks, it starts to make one wonder if Kirstie Alley is just jinxed this season on Dancing with the Stars. Really. The 60-year-old actress and subject of innumerable jibes at her up-and-down issues with weight started off the show with incredible grace.

But like Cinderella, it seems Kirstie Alley, no matter how amazing and talented, can’t seem to get away from the curse on her. If it’s not fat actress jokes, which she brushes off, willing even to laugh at herself, then it’s a fall (for which Maksim Chmerkovskiy takes complete responsibility) or a lost shoe. Poor Cinderella.

But her prince, Maksim, seems there, ready to sweep her off her feet over and over, and the couple has proved remarkably resilient to any trouble that comes their way. It would be a real shame to lose a vote to something so simple, but given the simple grace with which she accepted the mishap (except for lobbing the F-bomb in an after-show interview) it’s hard to believe anyone would fault the couple for the slip.

DWTS: Mark Ballas and Chelsea Kane magical Harry Potter Waltz enchanted?

To heck with the judges scores, thought professional dancer and choreographer Mark Ballas when he created an enchanted waltz theme for celebrity contestant Chelsea Kane. Gorgeous. Beautiful. What more can a person say about this perfect Waltz, featured on Dancing With The Stars and later as a video review by PopCrunch, with a twist of modernity lent by the theme from Harry Potter? Len can say whatever he wants about the routine wrecking 300 years of traditional waltz interpretation, but Bruno and Carrie Ann carried the sentiment with the night, agreeing that Team Kanenball’s routine was “magical”.

Armenian Kim Kardashian not upset to be on Turkish Cosmopolitan cover?

Kim Kardashian celebrity scandal brews over her photo on the cover of Cosmopolitan magazine in Turkey?

[Apr. 12]

Believe who you want but Kim Kardashian herself is saying that she is honored — not upset or appalled — over being featured as the cover model of Cosmopolitan in Turkey. The reality television celebrity is of Armenian descent and has long harbored ill feelings toward the Turkish government for the massacre and treatment of her people, but the modern Turkish culture is actually embracing Armenians more freely in the 21st century. That Cosmopolitan magazine, a worldwide organization, felt comfortable enough to put Kim Kardashian on the cover of their latest fashion magazine knowing that Genocide Remembrance Day falls during the month her edition will be on news stands is a bold statement, one that humbled the green celebrity.

Showbiz Spy reported (via Kim Kardashian herself by blog) the following celebrity quotes:

“Cosmopolitan magazine has a number of international editions all around the world that run in various territories, and when I did this shoot for the international covers I had no idea that Turkey was planning to run my story on their cover THIS month, considering Genocide Remembrance Day is this month.

“My Armenian heritage means a lot to me and I’ve been brought up to be incredibly proud of my family’s background and culture so as an Armenian-American woman it is a huge honor for me to be on the first ever Armenian Cosmopolitan cover.

“I have an amazing relationship with Cosmopolitan Magazine. World-over, Cosmo is known as a fun and inspiring magazine for women of all races, shapes, sizes, regardless of their political beliefs and I really hope that if I can bring awareness to the issue, then this in an accomplishment.”

While other sources who apparently don’t follow Kim Kardashian online have been frantically reporting the first part of her quote and claiming Kim Kardashian is proud of her heritage, they made the misstep in logic by assuming she was appalled by Cosmo not telling her she would be on the cover of the Turkey Cosmopolitan magazine.

Kim Kardashian is not about promoting hostility and division. She is not about hating a people because of their origin or nationality. She is about bringing a sense of freedom and empowerment to women worldwide.

As a green celebrity, Kim Kardashian has spent an enormous amount of time helping promote ideas of natural beauty being from the inside out.

Congrats on the cover, Kim — it’s a real beauty.

Celebrity Couples: DWTS Mark Ballas and American Idol Pia Toscano dating?

Celebrity Couples!

DWTS Mark Ballas and American Idol Pia Toscano hooking up thanks to wrestler Chris Jericho?

[Apr. 10]

Mark Ballas and partner Disney starlet Chelsea Kane may have fired it up on the Dancing with the Stars dance floor, with their unmistakable chemistry both in front of the judges and behind the scenes, but American Idol hopeful Pia Toscano had her eyes on Ballas, since they both worked at the CBS Television Lot where the two shows are filmed.

But Pia needed an introduction, says TMZ. How does a starlet hopeful like Pia Toscano meet with an already famous dancer like Mark Ballas? Through the six degrees of Kevin Bacon — er, separation. Except this time it was only three degrees of separation and no Kevin Bacon (except maybe a little Animal House and Footloose, wink wink). It turns out Pia had a friend who was friends with wrestler Chris Jericho, and of course Chris Jericho also is performing on Dancing with the Stars with Mark Ballas. Voila! Introduction accomplished.

Chris Jericho from Dancing with the Stars must be quite the matchmaker, becaus TMZ says Mark Ballas was receptive and that he and Pia Toscano reportedly had a great time and are looking to have another rendezvous again soon. Mark Ballas even skipped out on a music video shoot for their big night together last Friday.

In spite of Pia Toscano being sent home early in a terrible upset of votes on American Idol, she may have won big anyway, through Chris Jericho, with her big date with Mark Ballas. Kudos to Pia, who many (especially the judges) feel she should not have been voted off the show.

And Mark Ballas is continuing to shine as well, both on stage and behind the scenes. He and Chelsea Kane (Team Kanenball, as Ballas calls the pair) have made it through another week of Dancing with the Stars, and he’s about to release his debut solo album, HurtLoveBox, on April 12, according to USA Today. He wrote the blog for USA Today before he hooked up with Pia Toscano, because in it he says he still planned to shoot a video the next day, but it seems all is working out well.

Election 2012: Jesse Ventura says Sarah Palin will be elected President?

Election 2012!

Jesse Ventura predicts reality television star Sarah Palin will run for United States President and become the first female president elected?

[Apr. 10]

Jesse Ventura, famed Minnesota governor and former WWE wrestler, is saying Sarah Palin probably will win the presidency if she runs. Sadly, Ventura’s prediction may be right. Elections are far more about popularity and media coverage today than they were in the past, and Sarah Palin is practically a household name.

Jesse Ventura believes Sarah Palin will be far more likely to be manipulated by the powers that be than current President Barack Obama. To that end, Sarah Palin having her own reality television series Sarah Palin’s Alaska is a step in the direction of media saturation needed for a successful bid for the presidency.

Digital Spy reports:

“They’re grooming her for it, she’s got a TV show,” Jesse Ventura said. “It seems that elections today are more popularity than they are substantial issues.”

“[Sarah Palin would] be perfect. She’s the type of person that certainly will be controlled by the status quo and the power structure. So she’d make a perfect candidate for them, she’ll do what she’s told.”

Jesse Ventura has no particular love for Sarah Palin. He just believes the Republican Party is grooming her for the presidency. He’s been outspoken of his feelings for her before, calling Palin a quitter and accusing her of abandoning Alaskans by quitting mid-term.
