Britney Spears’ New Album Given Release Date

2011-01-30T21:00:00.000-08:00

A release date for Britney Spears‘ hotly-anticipated new album has been confirmed.

Spears’ upcoming seventh album will be released in the US on March 15, a rep for the singer’s record label confirms to MTV News.

Jive were forced to confirm the release details after a leaked memo sheet leaked online.

The document also confirmed that Spears’ album will include work from Dr. Luke, Max Martin, Rodney Jerkins, Avant, Stargate, Fraser T. Smith, and Bloodshy.

According to the sheet, the new album will be available in both standard and deluxe versions, with the latter featuring three or four additional tracks.

Spears’ manager Adam Leber recently took to Twitter to keep her fans updated on her promo work.

“Britney Spears did a photoshoot for her album package yesterday,” he wrote.

“Photos are nothing less than spectacular. We’ll share some soon.” He added,“So many good things coming down the pipeline. Britney fans should be excited. Album is incredible, video is fire, photoshoot is pure glam. Patience isn’t just a great song by Guns N’ Roses. All good things to those who wait.”

The singer’s choreographer Brian Friedman also teased fans with a few details about Spear’s upcoming Jonas Åkerlund-directed Hold It Against Me video.

“I can tell you that Britney is wearing a couple of hats in this video — not literal hats, but she’s playing roles in this video,” he told MTV News.

“That is what I can give you,” he added . “In every role, she is dancing. She is going to be dancing throughout the whole video. Like I said: Dance is the focal point of this video.”

“She’s taking fashion risks. Things we’ve never seen her wear before she’s wearing in this video, and I think it’s just very sexy and it’s a little bit playful,” he added.

“She’s going to be doing something in this video that we’ve never seen her do. I’m not gonna tell you what that is but she’s going to be sweating and she’s going to be getting bruised and battered.”

Do You Know " Kate Gosselin's Motherly Emotions "?

2010-08-19T00:45:00.000-07:00

Bidding farewell to two of her brood, Kate Gosselin showed off a wide range of emotions as she saw off twin girls Mady and Cara from their Reading, PA home on Tuesday (August 18).

All packed up and ready to go, it looked as though the girls were headed to a sleepover with some friends - as their TLC reality star mom gave them a kiss goodbye before making a variety of interesting faces.

Getting a breather from her parental duties the previous day, paparazzi spotted Kate's ex husband Jon Gosselin heading over to his former house to pick up the kids for a visitation.

In quite the interesting set-up, Jon is not permitted on the grounds which means Kate must bring the kids to the gate - at which point Papa Gosselin loads his eight children into a van before heading back to his apartment.

Lindsay Lohan care for Haiti Disaster

2010-02-17T00:55:00.000-08:00

Doing her best to raise cash for those in desperate need, Lindsay Lohan hosted a Haiti benefit auction at Altitude in London on Tuesday night (February 16).

Kicking things off after the Brit Awards ceremony, the “Mean Girls” starlet looked stunning in black as she joined fellow guests such as Janice Dickinson at the British Red Cross fundraiser.

Meanwhile, LiLo lashed back at claims that she’s in London due to being banned from numerous shows at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week.

She tweets, “in response to the wrong Daily News, i’d rather be raising money for those that need it in Haiti @altitude360 then be at fashion week. ignoring real world issues/reality.”

Miss Lohan adds, “wake up ny!”

Kim Kardashian Whit Christens New Collection on NYC Catwalk

2010-02-17T00:39:00.000-08:00

Finally Kim Kardashian proving to the world that she's more than a willing sex tape participant and arm candy for Reggie Bush, Kim Kardashian walked the catwalk today during New York Fashion Week.

The socialite showed off the clothing line she and her sisters have teamed up with Bebe to create - and those in attendance, such as Jenni "JWoWW" Farley, Adrienne Bailon and members of The Real Housewives of New Jersey cast - were impressed.

"I thought it was absolutely amazing," Bailon, a family friend, told E! News. "I'm so proud of Kim. I think that they've done an amazing job, all the girls, and I love the fact that the clothing actually looks like what the girls would wear."

Also excited by what he saw? Fashion photographer and America's Next Top Model star Jay Manuel. He said:

"It's what I expected: something that women want to wear, sexy with an air of sophistication. I saw a little day, a little night. Sometimes I did see a little Khloé versus Kim, but what I saw was the different moods of the Kardashians."

We can't even think of anything snarky to say. Sure, we'd rather see Kim in nothing, but this hoodie/dress is actually sort of cool. Would you wear it?

Demi Moore

2010-02-16T00:22:00.000-08:00

Getting a dose of next season’s fashion trends, Demi Moore was spotted front row at Donna Karan’s Fall 2010 Collection Fashion Show in New York City on Monday (February 15).

The visit comes just under a week after Nicole joined husband Joel Madden at a ceremony to celebrate the opening of their new playground - which was financed by $35,000 from their Richie-Madden Children’s Foundation charity.

Of the effort, Nicole told press: “When we first started coming here, there were no kids outside. To see the place come to life and have a place to come outside and be kids, and have their imaginations run wild, it’s really awesome.”

When Alba Defends Lohan

2010-02-08T22:11:00.000-08:00

Jessica Alba has spoken out in defense of Lindsay Lohan just months after the troubled actress was accused of kissing her husband in a nightclub -- calling the rumors "ridiculous lies."

Lohan hit the headlines in November when a magazine claimed she was spotted getting close to Alba's husband, Cash Warren, at a Hollywood hotspot.

The Mean Girls star called the stories "absurd," and now Alba has spoken out in favor of her friend -- insisting she doesn't pay attention to tabloid gossip.

She tells Cosmopolitan magazine, "Lindsay’s had to deal with this for so long. When people wrote lies about me before I had (my daughter) Honor, I’d get upset or I’d get nauseous or I’d get angry or I’d want revenge. Now, it’s like, it’s just so ridiculous and it’s not even close to being the truth."

And Alba admits her husband may have a future with Lohan -- he's considering teaming up with the actress for a new TV project.

She adds, "My husband may do a TV show with Lindsay -- ironically, about the ridiculousness of tabloids."

Berry's thief biopic was arrested

2010-02-08T22:06:00.000-08:00

Payne was arrested as she tried to leave a Saks Fifth Avenue store in Costa Mesa, California last month (Jan10) without paying for a $1,300 (£813) Burberry trenchcoat.

Payne was on parole for past thefts when she was caught.

Berry will portray the career thief, who has robbed gem stores around the world, in new biopic Who Is Doris Payne?

The Oscar winner has been working on the project for over two years with former Malcolm In The Middle star Justin Berfield, who secured the rights to Payne's life story after meeting her in jail in 2006.

Payne, who is known as The Grandmother Thief, has spent much of her adult life pulling off some of the biggest gem heists around the globe.

Producer Berfield tells WENN, "We were stunned and saddened to hear of Ms. Payne's arrest on January 27th in Orange County. It has always been the intention of the producers, writer and rest of the film's creative team to chronicle Doris Payne's journey and career accurately, or as accurately as one can without having lived it ourselves.

"We are currently re-evaluating the script and determining the best filmmaker to work with Halle Berry in bringing Ms. Payne's story to the screen."

And producers are so sure of success, they are already plotting their next movie -- which will feature some of the same characters in New York City on Dec. 31, according to Variety.com.

Director Garry Marshall is expected to return to helm New Year's Eve, which is slated for release in late 2011.

Megan Fox Quotes
I guess I see a resemblance between us two, but I want to become my own person.
~ Megan Fox

I really enjoy having sex, and that's offensive to some people. Women are the quickest to call other women sluts, which is sad. I haven't met a lot of men who've said, "You like having sex? What a dirty whore you are!". That's because they wish their wives or girlfriends would have more sex with them.
~ Megan Fox

I just had an incredible amount of empathy for her my whole life. I cry when I see her on camera.
~ Megan Fox

People who don't like me talk about it as though I'm trash because I have tattoos. I find that insane because it's 2008, not the 1950s. Tattoos aren't limited to sailors. It's a form of art I find beautiful. I love it.
~ Megan Fox

I didn't get along with Lindsay Lohan on Confessions Of A Teenage Drama Queen, but you have to consider that we were 16-year-old girls. I haven't seen Lindsay since then, but I imagine she's grown and become a different person. I know I have. From what I've experienced, women aren't good friends to one another. When guys want to hang out with you because your personality is badass, women immediately hate you.
~ Megan Fox

I don’t think I’ve ever seen anybody commit to a character the way that he did. He makes really outrageous choices and it’s great when everybody else on the set is making more subdued ones and he goes with it and convinces us that it’s brilliant afterwards.
~ Megan Fox

I have the libido of a 15-year-old boy. My sex drive is so high. I'd rather have sex with Brian all the time than leave the house. He doesn't mind.
~ Megan Fox

Because I looked older than her, she’d be nice to my face so I would buy her cigarettes. We got away with it every time.
~ Megan Fox

Is there anything wrong with you?
~ Megan Fox

I’m horrible to live with. I don’t clean. My clothes end up wherever I take them off. I forget to flush the toilet. Friends will tell me, “Megan, you totally pinched a loaf in my toilet and didn’t flush.”
~ Megan Fox

When I was 14, I thought I was the coolest kid in school because I told everyone the jokes in FHM.
~ Megan Fox

I didn't get along with Lindsay Lohan on Confessions Of A Teenage Drama Queen, but you have to consider that we were 16-year-old girls. I haven't seen Lindsay since then, but I imagine she's grown and become a different person. I know I have. From what I've experienced, women aren't good friends to one another. When guys want to hang out with you because your personality is badass, women immediately hate you.
~ Megan Fox

Lindsay and I weren't the best of friends.

Posh Spice dinner lady Victoria Beckham

2010-02-03T00:50:00.000-08:00

The former Spice Girl-turned-fashion designer is a regular visitor to the schools of her three sons - Brooklyn, ten, Romeo, seven, and four-year-old Cruz - and enjoys helping out whenever she can.

Victoria - who lives in Los Angeles with her soccer star husband David and the three boys - said: "I travel a fair amount, and when I'm here in Los Angeles, everything revolves around the kids. So if I'm not working, I go to the school and help serve lunches to the children
.

"They just love that. It's like, Oh, there's mummy serving me!' The other day I was there, I was reading to Cruz's class. All the little girls were saying, 'We really like your dress.' And it was quite cute because I don't have a girl."

As well as being a devoted wife and mother, the 35-year-old brunette says fashion plays a huge part in her life and she knows how to make the best of herself.

She said in an interview with America's Glamour magazine
: "I love fashion, and that's how I express myself. I think about what I'm going to wear before I go to bed at night.

"When I dress in a certain way and do my hair and make-up in a certain way, it's not to get attention. I'm not a supermodel. I make the best of what I've got. I work out to look the best that I can, but I'm no Gisele."

Jessica Simpson

2010-02-03T00:08:00.000-08:00

Pop Star Singer
Full Name: Jessica Ann Simpson
Birthplace: Abilene, Texas
Age: 29
Birthday: July 10, 1980
Height: 5'3

BIO

Sweet mother of G-d, Jessica Simpson has got some huge breasts. Holy frickin' $h!t. Look at those things!

She also possesses a singing voice that, while by no means good, was sufficient enough to secure a couple of million album sales in the late 1990s / early 2000s, when the public was more or less content to fork over $$ in exchange for unlistenable crap.

Way to go, Jessica Simpson fans!

But her career is going downhill quickly, as evidenced by her divorce from Nick Lachey, but even more so by her recent "work" projects. We are talking seriously bad music and even worse acting. It's not exactly a winning combination.

Starring in terrible movies hasn't helped Jessica Simpson.

Nor has the meddling of her pimp father, Joe Simpson, or some ill-advised romances with the likes of John Mayer. What a frickin' loser. That douchebag can eat it.

Poor Jessica. Oh well. It was a good run while it lasted, and the aforementioned boobs look like they're here to stay. Those puppies are not small by any means.

Also, Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo apparently likes her so much (for reasons unknown) that he's willing to lose playoff games for the rest of his career.

Jessica's Quote:

" It's all about keeping the faith. That's why I pray out loud."

" Please remember, no matter what you go through in life, somebody else might have it harder. So just appreciate. I feel like in our world today we focus on so many things that are completely pointless."

" Curves are better. I don't get the whole rail thing. It's not good for your heart, it's not good for your mind; it's emotionally destructive, it really is."

" I've been contemplating taking a college course in religion. I love  religion."

" To be my man, you have to put up with a lot. I toot under the sheets, I spend a lot of money and I can belch the ABC's."

" It's important to make a stand for women's rights. If I can get up there and be any inspiration to women, I am blessed to have that opportunity."

" I've always been a country girl. It feels good to be on stage being myself."

" I would love to be making records and making babies, and hopefully I'm married in 10 years. I have the dreams of every normal person."

" I've had secret lovers...I can keep some things quiet."
" I'm not a jealous girlfriend."

Birthday: March 20, 1984

BIO

Kari Ann Peniche is a beauty queen from Gresham, Oregon, who once held the Miss Teen USA title.

She was stripped of that title after appearing nude in the November 2004 issue of Playboy.

In September 2006, Kari Ann Peniche got engaged to Aaron Carter after knowing him for only five days.

They broke up six days after that. Shocking.

She was featured on E! Beauty Queens Gone Wrong and has hosted several TV shows, including LND TV, and appeared on VH1's Celebrity Rehab.

Kari Ann Peniche also starred in a sex tape with Eric Dane and his wife Rebecca Gayheart.

The lovely Kari Ann Peniche and other upstanding Z-listers be taking part in the latest spinoff of Celebrity Rehab, Sex Rehab with Dr. Drew, beginning November 1.

The stimulating new VH1 series will tackle the widely unexamined and wildly uninhibited world of sex addiction. The pleasure begins building at 10 p.m. Sunday.

Kari Ann is definitely the biggest name among the cast, thanks to her participation in this year's Eric Dane nude tape and her troubled past as a possible pimp.

The disgraced former Miss Teen USA also posed in Playboy, was engaged to Aaron Carter for like a week, and started her own clothing line, Strung Out Girl.

How apropos.....

Hi, my name is Kari Ann Peniche and I am a sex addict. I enjoy pina coladas, long walks on the beach and getting naked with Eric Dane and Rebecca Gayheart.

Melissa Rycroft

BIO
This is Melissa Rycroft. She used to be a cheerleader with the Dallas Cowboys, and hails from that fine state of Texas.

But much as we love cheerleaders, that's not how we know her.

Rycroft was a contestant on Season 13 of The Bachelor. She actually earned Jason Mesnick's final rose and enjoyed a few weeks of happiness. Until he dumped her on national TV for another Bachelor suitor, that is. Ouch!

But that's okay, M. Ry bounced back and is now engaged to Tye Strickland.

Melissa quickly became a national sensation, too. Her first step after having her heart broken for all to see? Rycroft joined season eight of Dancing with the Stars. She performed very well on it, finishing in third place.

A year ago, Melissa Rycroft couldn't have been farther off the celebrity gossip radar.

Now, months after being dumped on national TV by Jason Mesnick, the former reality TV star has come full circle: she's happily married and gracing the cover of In Touch Weekly.

Inside the issue, the beautiful new bride gushes about her dream wedding, which took place opposite Tye Strickland in Isla Mujeres, Mexico on December 12.

"I was fine until 'Here Comes the Bride' started," Rycroft said "I think everything hit me at once. My dad started to walk down the aisle, and I just stopped him. I grabbed his arm, and I was like, 'Hold on,' and I started crying. And I saw Tye, and bless his heart, he had these big tears in his eyes, too. It was very emotional."

Melissa's Quote

" I'm a southern girl. You make it fried, I will eat it."

BIO

Leighton Meester is the insanely cute star of Gossip Girl on The CW. We hope to see a lot more of this talented star in the next few years ... and it looks like we may get our wish, as there is supposedly a sex tape of hers floating around.

More on that in a sec.

Leighton Meester reminds us of another young TV cutie, Friday Night Lights' Minka Kelly. That's not a shabby comparison in the looks department ... for either star! Leighton is 22 years old and has guest starred on many TV shows prior to Gossip Girl.

As Gossip Girl has grown in popularity, so has Leighton Meester's celebrity. She's a regular on celebrity gossip sites.

Leighton is dating actor Sebastian Stan, a recurring guest star on Gossip Girl. Lucky stuff.

She is also the only celeb we know of to be born to parents in jail. Her folks were doing time on drug charges, natch.

In June 2009, rumors of a Leighton Meester sex tape surfaced. Will the whole world see her naked with her BF? Stay tuned.

" Guys who are unavailable are actually a dream come true for me because I'm unavailable all the time. It's great they're not down your throat."

" I think guys who are rebels and make their own rules are appealing."

Age: 22
Birthday: February 21, 1987

BIO
Ashley Greene just wanted to be a model.

She was told, though, that she wasn't tall enough to be a runway model and should instead focus on commercials. After taking commercial and acting classes, she fell in love with acting.

Good thing for us.

Since then, she has appeared as a guest on many popular TV programs, such as Punk'd and Crossing Jordan. Greene's big break came in 2008 when she was cast as Alice Cullen in Twilight.

Ashley Greene will be reuniting with her Twilight co-star Kellan Lutz in the upcoming movie Warrior, and will reprised her role as Alice Cullen in the 2009 sequel to Twilight, New Moon.

Full Name: Robyn Rihanna Fenty
Birthplace: Saint Michael, Barbados
Age: 21
Birthday: February 20, 1988

BIO
Rihanna is a young, hot and successful R&B singer who hails from the Caribbean island of Barbados.

She is an artist signed to Def Jam records, and all of her singles are climbing up the charts. Seriously, pretty much anything Rihanna does becomes a massive radio hit.

She broke into the industry in 2005 with the release of her debut album Music of the Sun. She followed that up with the monstrously successful Good Girl Gone Bad.

This singer attained five Billboard hits early in her career ("Umbrella", "SOS", "Take a Bow", "Disturbia" and "Live Your Life"), four as a solo artist and one as featured artist.

She is tied with Beyonce as the female solo artist with the most #1s in this decade. Wow. But in February 2009, her world was rocked by something wholly unrelated.

Her then-boyfriend, Chris Brown, pummeled her on the night before the Grammys, leading to his arrest on felony assault, which he ultimately pleaded guilty to.

He was sentenced to years of probation and 180 days of community labor. The two have broken up, and even though her battered face has healed, the emotional scars remain.

Rihanna's Quote
" I love lingerie. I love buying it and making it."

" Sometimes you just need your privacy. But it comes with the territory. There's no privacy when you are out in the public."

" Rihanna [on rumors that she dated Jay-Z]: I get asked about it all the time and I’m like, You’re asking, but you know the answer. I don’t even like to address it anymore."

Audrina Patridge

Vitals

Full Name: Audrina Cathleen Patridge
Birthplace: Yorba Linda, California
Age: 24
Birthday: May 9, 1985

BIO
Audrina Patridge stars on The Hills. Maybe you recognize Audrina Patridge from that show ... or from those hot nude pics that surfaced online in March 2008. Or perhaps both.

Anyway, time for a little background info.

Born and raised in Yorba Linda, Ca., in (yes) Orange County, Audrina Patridge got on our nerves at first, as we thought she was kinda phony and plastic looking, but we came around eventually as she and Lauren Conrad became roommates.

Needless to say, we'll take Audrina Patridge over Heidi Montag. But soon enough, Audrina and LC had their own problems. Eventually, Audrina moved out of Lauren's guest house. Oh well. She got her own house and that's probably for the best!

Audrina has a job at Epic Records, as shown on The Hills, but aspires to be an actress and model as well.

Audrina Patridge is once again with that ass Justin-Bobby, having dated Shannon Leto, Brian Drolet, Tal Cooperman, Corey Bohan and who knows how many other dudes.

She has two sisters, Samantha and Casey Patridge. Casey just had a baby with her fiance and has many tattoos!

In March 2008, Audrina became the subject of scandal when naked pics of her were leaked online (as we mentioned earlier). She admitted that they were, in fact, Audrina Patridge nude photos and that she had tried out for Playboy at age 19. Sure. We bet they were "leaked" accidentally. Mmm hmm.

They were hot, though, that's for damn sure.

Hopefully she can rise above the scandal (or use it to her advantage if that's what she's after) and go back to being the good friend we know on The Hills.

Audrina Patridge is also trying to start a movie career. With the amount of raw talent (read: cleavage) she brings to the table, she'll get plenty of roles!

Audria's Quote

" It's best to have your own personal space until you consider marriage or are really in a serious relationship, and marriage for me right now is out of the question."

" Audrina Patridge: [Heidi and Lauren] really don't like each other, but I'm friends with both of them. When we hang out, I don't talk about the other. I'm like Switzerland."

" The producers try to get me to persuade guys I'm interested in to be on it. If the paparazzi shoot me out on a date and it's not on the show, it makes the show look fake. If the guy won't do it, I'll just be like, 'This isn't a good time.' And I'll start dating someone else."

" Whenever our show is not airing, there are always rumors and assumptions made, but when the show starts airing, everyone will get back on track."

" Once you are married, you're married."

" I am not an attention whore. I’m not going to release naked photos of myself just to get attention. I’d rather get different attention and be respected."

" Audrina Patridge: [Justin has] always been there for me, and he still is."

" We're still friends... We're not as close as we used to be [because] we all have our own things going."

" Audrina Patridge [to Lauren Conrad]: Everything was fine when it was just me and you living together, and...[with] Lo in the picture, you're distant from me."

" Audrina Patridge [on snagging a movie role]: [The role is] giving me the chance to show people [what I can do]. This is why I moved to L.A."

BIO

Adam Lambert was a contestant on the eighth season of American Idol. He made it to the final two on the show, only to lose out to Kris Allen in the finals.

This musician got started at an early age, as his father was a DJ that introduced him to various types of music. He sang Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody for his audition and has spent time in a production of the play Wicked.

For his semifinal audition, Lambert wowed viewers with his range on The Rolling Stones' "Satisfaction." He then received raves for his performance of "Black and White" on Michael Jackson night. We could go on and on, as season eight was filled with nothing but praise for this unique, talented star.

In June 2009, Adam officially came out of the closet: he was dating a man named Drake LaBry, although the pair broke up a couple months later. Lambert handled the issue of his sexuality with class and candor throughout the American Idol season.

Lambert's debut album came out on November 23, 2009. The day prior, he put on a controversial performance at the American Music Awards, grabbing crotches and making out with male singers. Expect him to often push the envelope going forward.

Adam Lambert Quote: " I don't think it should be a surprise for anyone to hear that I'm gay."

Lauren Conrad

Full Name: Lauren Katherine Conrad
Birthplace: Laguna Beach, California
Age: 24
Birthday: February 1, 1986

BIO

A Laguna Beach alumna, the gorgeous Lauren Conrad has gone on to be the star of its spin-off series, The Hills.

Back in her high school daze, she was the nemesis of another hottie / celebrity gossip queen, Kristin Cavallari.

On The Hills, Lauren Conrad's popularity grew.

She quickly became known for feuding with ex-roommate and ex-BFF Heidi Montag (and her boyfriend turned fiance Spencer Pratt) and befriending Audrina Patridge. Lauren worked with Whitney Port at Teen Vogue and then at People's Revolution.

LC used to date Jason Wahler on both reality shows, and also had a brief romance with Brody Jenner, with whom she remains good friends. Even though they're not dating they chill a lot.

Most recently she was linked to minor league baseball player Doug Reinhardt, who was a hot guy but kinda boring in the end. LC broke that off quick, which was for the best, in our opinion.

She is now dating Kyle Howard, who stars on the show My Boys, although this is sort of on the D/L. He does not appear on her show and they aren't seen together all that often.

Lauren Conrad recently came out with her own fashion line, too. She's becoming a mogul in her own right!

We can't wait to see what LC has in store for us next. The Hills wrapped its third season in Spring 2008 and its fourth has been another smash hit in Fall 2008. MTV announced that a fifth season will be airing in 2009, as well. Which is sweet!

So far on the current season, it's more of the same - Lauren Conrad, Lo Bosworth and Audrina hating on Speidi and living in a fancy house in L.A., before Audrina decided to move out and none other than Holly Montag moved in. Scandalous!

All in all, it's pretty girls coming of age and into their own. Much drama along the way, natch. Gotta love The Hills.

In closing, OMG, we <3 Lauren Conrad!

Lauren's Quote

" I don't think any good has ever come from me having an opinion on their relationship, so let's leave it at that!"

" I make fun of guys when I like them. I do it as a test to see if they can laugh at themselves."

" Lauren Conrad [on Speidi]: I mean, I don't know if [drama] follows as much as they chase it."

" I think that a lot of times, I trust people I shouldn't, and it turns out right, and it makes me feel a little better about it."

" You're gonna have bad boyfriends and best friends-turned-enemies. You need to be yourself, you need to work hard, and you'll get there."

" Can you imagine being 22 and having your parents know everything about you? Literally, my mom can go on the Internet and find out where I went last night, who I was with. I mean, there are no secrets!"

" I love Gossip Girl. I just love it. It’s so gossipy and superficial. It’s amazing."

" I wake up in the middle of the night and I think I'm being filmed."

" The Hills is meant to be a dramatic show about relationships. It's not about me being a designer. No one wants to see me working at the factory on my collection, or me and Lo [Bosworth] having a dance party in our pajamas."

" I have wanted to be a fashion designer since I was a little girl. I grew up designing and sewing dresses for my barbie dolls, and the Lauren Conrad Collection has been my dream come true."

Birthday: April 9, 1990

BIO

Stewart has also appeared in movies such as Jumper and Panic Room. She was born in Los Angeles and loves to surf and play the guitar. The actress also owns three dogs.

While fans may embrace Stewart for her film roles, they are also interested in her love life. The actress has been linked with co-star Robert Pattinson.

Gossip
They'll soon reunite for Eclipse and Breaking Dawn, but Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson have taken a little break from one another.

(Just on-screen, breathe easy Robsten fans.)

Kate Gosselin

2010-02-01T23:26:00.000-08:00

BIO

Kate Gosselin is a reality TV star with eight children and one possibly-cheating husband.

She and Jon Gosselin were at the center of Jon & Kate Plus 8 on TLC, before all Hell broke loose. Many watched the program just to throw things at their TV whenever Kate is on screen. She constantly berated her husband and acts like a self-absorbed whiner more often than not.

Kate has written a book about her family called "Eight Little Faces."

Supposedly, she also has a cook book on the way, even though we never see her in the kitchen. Kate has been accused of infidelity, as rumors abound that she's porked the family's bodyguard.

That seems very possible, but she's now free to bang anyone she pleases. Jon and Kate got divorced in the summer of 2009 and she is now the sole star of the series. The title has been changed to Kate Plus 8.

Kate's Quote

"My kids are the reason I have always done everything. My kids are the reason I laid on bed rest for 30 entire weeks. My kids are the reason that I wrote the books and it's always about them. And, I know that it looks it's all about me all the time and whatever, but what you don't see is down deep inside it's a desperate desire to provide for my kids."

Tila Tequila

Age: 28
Birthday: October 24, 1981

BIO

Tila Tequila got famous via MySpace and used this fame pose for Playboy and Penthouse.

She's also starred in the aptly named MTV reality dating show, A Shot at Love with Tila Tequila. It will be back for a third season after the first two winners conveniently didn't work out.

This vixen plays for both teams if you know what we mean. We are saying she'll make love to a man or a woman.

She's also taken credit for the legality of gay marriage in California because her reality show made people comfortable with same-sex relationships. Makes perfect sense to us.

In 2009, Tila tried to at least use her quasi bisexuality for a good cause: she came out in favor of gay marriage in California.

In September of the same year, Tequila made national news by accusing NFL star and boyfriend Shawn Merriman of choking and assulting her. She then got engaged to girlfriend Casey Johnson, who tragically passed away in early 2010.

Tila has used that incidet to garner fame and lie about being pregnant. She seems to be a terrible, troubled, pathetic individual.

Tilla's Quote

" I definitely want to adopt a boy."

" I want to make at least another billion dollars before I adopt children so I can just focus on them. Like, just move to an island and give them everything."

" I just go with my feelings. If one day you are into someone and the next day, you meet someone else that you are into, just go with what your heart wants. There is no rules. I follow my heart."

" It's great that people are able to marry each other whether you are gay or straight."

" There are no games. It’s true what they say about lesbians: you meet and then the next day you move in together."

" I have decided that I do not want to do A Shot at Love Season 3 because I feel like this show doesn't fully represent who I am as a regular person."

" I've been going to sleep lonely for 26 years so it is something I have adapted to and learned to make the best of. Hopefully one day that will change."

" Love is important to me, and being able to share it with someone special is even better. Maybe I should stop looking and that's when it will happen!"

" Tila Tequila [after being rejected by Kristy Morgan]: I feel humiliated."

" A great kiss, which I've had on my show, consists of a lot of exploding passion and just that tension that's been building up...It's like you've been waiting so long to kiss this person, and then you finally let it out, and it's like, 'Oh my God.'"

Khloe Kardashian

Age: 25
Birthday: June 27, 1984
BIO

Khloe Kardashian is only famous for being the sister of Kim Kardashian. She stars, along with the rest of this stupidly-named family, on Keeping Up with the Kardashians. Khloe is in the fashion business and looks a lot like former wrestler Chyna, doesn't she?

That's not a compliment.

In July of 2008, she spent 173 minutes in prison for violating her parole. It was a harsh, difficult sentence for the socialite.

Khloe also dated basketball player Rashad McCants for a few months and was a contestant - sorry, a kontestant - on Donald Trump's Celebrity Apprentice. She will do anything for attention.

Inkredibly, Khloe married Lamar Odom on September 27, 2009, one month after the pair started dating.

Khloe's Quote

" I did wear fur and they wanted to educate me on the brutal ways in which animals are skinned for their pelts."

" Khloe Kardshian [on early prison release]: They released me early because I was a threat to the prison.. The whole prison was on lockdown. It was actually really scary."
