Kim Kardashian Copes With Psoriasis and the Pressure to Look Perfect

Kim Karadashian has Psoriasis, a diagnosis she, understandably, isn't happy about, since her career involves "doing ad campaigns and swimsuit photo shoots."

Kim was seen visiting her dermatologist with itchy red patches that her sister Khloe thought were caused by ringworms duing Sunday night's episode of Keeping Up with the Kardashians.

Her doctor's Psoriasis diagnosis sure proved Khole wrong, but brought no cheer to Kim.

While Kim didn't know what a ringworm infection is, she did know what Psoraisis is; her mother Kris Jenner has the incurable but treatable condition.

Kim's condition is more severe.

"My mom didn't have red flaky dots all over her," she says.

And her disappointment large.

"My career is doing ad campaigns and swimsuit photo shoots. People don't understand the pressure on me to look perfect," she says.

"When I gain a pound, it's in the headlines," he adds. "Imagine what the tabloids would do to me if they saw all these spots!"

Prince Charles Comes Down With Case Of Green-Eyed Monster

Take cover! Prince Charles is threatening to throw his royal rattle out of the bassinet. His nose is all out of joint that his son Prince William and new daughter-in-law Kate are youthful and gorgeous while he and wife Camilla Parker-Bowles are more leathery and unattractive.

Tough break…

“He does not have the X-factor,” as one royal biographer puts it.

Ken Wharfe, Diana’s former bodyguard, is far less tactful.

“To put it bluntly, Kate is beautiful and young and they aren’t. The Queen is 85. Camilla looks older than that, and Prince Charles isn’t popular. Instead of getting angry, they should be embracing Kate as an ambassador.”

Since William and Kate wed in April, Charles has fretted that “people would be less interested in what he has to say on issues such as the environment and architecture if, on the same day, Kate is wearing a new dress.”

Your Royal Highness, would it make you feel better if we told you we’ve never been interested in what you’ve had to say?

Jesse James and Kat Von D Break Up

Jesse James says he and heavily-tatted reality star Kat Von D have called off their engagement and gone their separate ways.



”I’m so sad because I really love her. The distance between us was just too much,” James told People.

By “distance” he means between his home in Austin, Texas and hers in Los Angeles, but come on — traveling is easy when you have the kind of jack they do. And much as Texas likes to think it’s another country, it’s actually not. You don’t need a passport to get in or anything (just maybe proof of citizenship if you look vaguely ethnic and some asshole wants to harass you about taking away a job he’d never do anyway). So I call shenanigans.

Since at least one half of this particular celebrity couple is rather, shall we say, “fidelity-challenged,” it likely won’t be long before some skank is on the cover of the Enquirer saying she banged Jesse while he wore a Gestapo uniform and had phone sex with Kat and then he’ll go on Howard Stern to talk about it because discretion is for chumps, yo.

Distance? Whatever. With Jesse’s track record, “douchebaggery” is probably more like it.

Arnold Schwarzenegger Files Fresh Divorce Response

Arnold Schwarzenegger filed a fresh response to Maria Shriver's divorce petition on Monday, July 25, conceding spousal support and legal fees for his separated wife.

He also tweeted support for his and Maria's son, Christopher, who is currently recovering from injuries sustained in a boogie boarding accident.

"Thanks for all your support for Christopher. It means a lot to me & to him," Arnold wrote.

"He's doing much better & we'll have him back at full speed soon."

The former two term California governor took to his Twitter account after more than a month to express his support.

Arnold's initial response to Maria's divorce petition, filed last week while Christopher was in ICU, had sought to deny Maria spousal support and legal fees.

The response triggered a conflict in the divorce proceedings that had so far been amicable. Maria was hurt by Arnold's insensitivity, since it was his infidelity that forced her to seek a divorce.

Arnold now tells TMZ that he signed the initial set of documents, without carefully perusing them, as he was preoccupied with Christopher's medical emergency; he relied on his lawyer to do the right thing.

Kate Middleton’s Family Telephone Hacked

The News of the World phone hacking activities that have been going on since 2005 appear to have embraced Kate Middleton and her family members. According to The Telegraph, Kate and Prince William have been approached by police officers in charge of the hacking scandal investigation.

Prince William, now to be addressed to as the Duke of Cambridge, was the one to assist the police in the course of the first investigation six years ago when he, Prince Henry and a few close friends fell victim of voicemail tampering. At that time the investigation didn’t go any further.

As allegations of phone hacking are piling up, the London tabloid that was in existence over a century and a half, is closed down, its several executives are under arrest, and its owner media mogul Rupert Murdoch has been called to Parliament to account for hacking activities.

Guy Pelly, a close friends of both Prince Henry and Prince William, has recently sued the News of the World as another alleged victim of phone tampering. There is a strong belief that the whole Middleton family may have their phones hacked – and have been for quite a while.

The Telegraph quotes a source connected with the investigation who said that telephone hacking practice was “more widespread” than it can be imagined even back in 2005 with many people targeted “at all levels,” so it’s quite a logical assumption that everyone around the royal family has been subjected to voicemail tampering; the Middletons are highly unlikely to have been left out.

Kristin Cavallari And Jay Cutler Call Off Engagement

Kristin Cavallari and Chicago Bears' Jay Cutler have called off their engagement, reports People magazine.

The couple had planned to wed in Spring and Cavallari had recently bought a Monique Lhuillier wedding gown.

Selena, however, remains firmly grounded.

"But on the other hand, it's also nice to talk with someone about the real world, a person who knows nothing about photo shoots and all these things,", she added. "I think the secret is to have a balance of both."

Amy Winehouse Autopsy Results “Inconclusive”

The world will have to wait just a little longer to learn what killed “Back to Black” hitmaker Amy Winehouse. A post-mortem exam performed on the five-time Grammy Award winner failed to establish a formal cause of death, London officials said Monday, prompting authorities to await the results of further toxicology tests.

Winehouse was just 27 when she was found dead in her London home on Saturday afternoon. The troubled star had struggled with addiction to heroin, cocaine, and alcohol for years and completed her final failed attempt at cleaning up her act with a trip to rehab in May. Winehouse was so intoxicated during a disastrous June performance in Belgrade, her European summer tour had to cancelled. Initial reports suggested that Winehouse bought a menu of drugs, including ecstasy on Friday night, but Scotland Yard sources say no drugs were found in her home.

“There was no wild party. It was just Amy and her security guard,” her longtime spokesman added. “She went to bed and when he checked her in the morning she looked like she was asleep. It was only when he checked later that he realized something was wrong and called the emergency services.”

Conclusive toxicology results are not expected for 2-4 weeks.

Jennifer Aniston Return To Theatre

Actress Jennifer Aniston would “love to” return to theatre and has requested her `Horrible Bosses` co-star Kevin Spacey to find her a role.

The star began her career working in small Off Broadway productions in New York before finding fame as Rachel Green on “Friends” and she admits that working with Spacey has re-ignited her passion for the stage.

“I started at theatre in New York, in things that aren`t remembered but yeah, I love the theatre and I would love to go back to it. If the right thing presented itself… yes – with Kevin, at the Old Vic,” dailystar.co.uk quoted her as saying.

Leighton Meester Suing Mom

This should make for an awkward Thanksgiving…Gossip Girl’s Leighton Meester is suing her former momager, claiming the ex-con accepted funds sent to her for the care of Meester’s disabled younger brother, Lex, and used the cash for plastic surgery, Botox, and hair extensions instead.

The incident has proven to be the last straw in the tumultous relationship for Leighton, who plays silver spooner Blair Woodard on The CW soap.

In February, The Roommate actress, 25, fired Constance Meester, 54, as her manager after the former real estate agent was hit with a restraining order for allegedly harassing a neighboring family. Los Angeles therapist Laurel Wiig says Connie threatened to “hunt down and kill” both her and her minor son after the pair had a falling out on Jan. 21, The National Enquirer wrote in its Feb. 28 issue. The families are acquainted through their two children, who attend school together. In court papers filed in Los Angeles last winter, The Wiigs charged that the elder Meester is an “addict,” who vowed to “fuck us up.”

Leighton’s recent suit against her mother refers to Constance’s claim that she had entered into an oral agreement with her daughter that stipulated that Leighton pay her a monthly allowance of $10,000. If for any reason Leighton defaulted, Connie threatened to sue the star for a sum of $3 million. Leighton, who denies there was any such agreement, is asking the court to declare that there is no contract between The Meester Women.

The suit is just the last chapter in the story of Constance’s checkered past. She spent time in federal prison in the 1980s after she was convicted of assisting a drug ring that transported thousands of pounds of marijuana from Jamaica to the US. Leighton was born while her mother was serving time in a Texas halfway house as part of her sentence for involvement in the ring.

“It made me realize that you can’t judge anyone — especially your parents — for what they’ve done in their past, because people change,” she told PEOPLE Magazine back in Jan. 2009.

Russell Brand Pens Tribute To Amy Winehouse

Long-haired and limber, “Serious” isn’t a look that Russell Brand wears often, but the comic has tapped into his innermost emotions to write a poignant tribute to his late friend Amy Winehouse. Brand, whose own struggles with drugs, alcohol, and sex have been well-documented, believes that society needs to change its attitude to drug addicts.

The Arthur star, 36, recalls first meeting Winehouse at a sound session in London, he was only in the early stages of his own recovery then. Remembering her first as “a twit in a pink satin jacket shuffling round bars,” Russell says he made a point of getting to know Amy once he saw her on stage and felt “the awe that envelops when witnessing a genius.”

Writing on his official website, Russell recalls hearing “a voice that was filled with such power and pain that it was at once entirely human yet laced with the divine… So now I knew. She wasn’t just some hapless wannabe, yet another pissed up nit who was never gonna make it…She was a fucking genius.”

After sadly witnessing her decline first-hand, Russell described addiction as “a serious disease” that will “end with jail, mental institutions or death.”

“We have lost a beautiful and talented woman to this disease,” he wrote. “Not all addicts have Amy’s incredible talent. Or Kurt’s or Jimi’s or Janis’s, some people just get the affliction. All we can do is adapt the way we view this condition, not as a crime or a romantic affectation but as a disease that will kill. We need to review the way society treats addicts, not as criminals but as sick people in need of care. We need to look at the way our government funds rehabilitation.”

He continued: “It is cheaper to rehabilitate an addict than to send them to prison, so criminalisation doesn’t even make economic sense. Not all of us know someone with the incredible talent that Amy had but we all know drunks and junkies and they all need help and the help is out there.”
