 CLICK PICTURE TO ENLARGE

There WON'T be a two-part Kardashian divorce special on E! -- this according to sources who say Kim did NOT want cameras to document the private and so called emotional moments behind her divorce.

Sources close to Kim say they will not be shooting any footage for "Keeping Up with the Kardashians" until the beginning of next year -- and is insisting she does not want to exploit the "real" moments behind the divorce on TV.

Kim will most likely acknowledge the split when filming picks up again -- but all of the behind the scenes crying, fighting and other divorce-related stuff will not air on the show.

Arnold Schwarzenegger's late night run to Walmart turned into a full-blown mob scene -- his security team tried to keep fans from flocking all over the action star.

Arnold tweeted the picture above from the checkout line, with the caption, "Albuquerque is getting cold, so I bought some warm clothes for my crew today. Thanks to the employees who helped me!" Walmart managers dispatched their in-house security team to control the fans who hounded Arnold for pics and autographs.

Arnold's in town shooting a movie -- and apparently he slapped down his Amex to purchase a bunch of long sleeve shirts and a few jackets -- totaling about $300.

Kate Middleton Might Be PREGNANT!

  CLICK PICTURE TO ENLARGE

Kate Middleton sparked a pregnancy rumor by refusing to eat peanut paste during a recent royal visit to a UNICEF famine relief center in Copenhagen, even though her husband and their hosts, the Danish Crown Prince and his wife, all happily sampled the food. Kate, 29, was caught on camera giving Prince William a knowing smile as he scrutinized the product’s label, ABC News reports.

Further fueling speculation that she may be carrying an heir to the throne is the Palace’s emphatic announcement that Kate “has no nut allergy whatsoever,” so doesn’t have any other medical reason to shun peanuts. If she is expecting, Kate may be smart to say no to the legume, since new research suggests that eating peanuts during pregnancy may raise the risk of some babies developing potentially life-threatening peanut allergies, which have risen sharply among kids over the past decade.

While the two-time Oscar nominee was hesitant to take on such a larger than life role, Williams tells Vogue, "I've never been so hanging on a cliff waiting to hear what people think of a movie.

Stars of 'Twilight' IMMORTALIZED IN CEMENT At the Historic Chinese Theatre in Hollywood

CLICK PICTURE TO ENLARGE

Twilight fans swarmed the legendary Chinese Theatre on Hollywood Blvd Thursday morning to catch a glimpse of Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner as the actors joined the ranks of Hollywood’s elite.

The trio had the honor of having their hand and footprints immortalized in cement outside the famed theatre, landing among the likes of John Wayne, Fred Astaire, Elizabeth Taylor, Clint Eastwood, Meryl Streep and Jennifer Aniston. Since Norma Talmadge laid the first prints in 1927, just over 250 screen legends have been offered the prestigious honor.

Jimmy Kimmel served as emcee of the brief event, while Twilight author Stephenie Meyer said a few touching words about the actors who brought her beloved characters to life.

“I’m excited for them and I’m also very proud of them,” Meyer said. “Their lives have changed a lot in the last few years and they’ve done it with such class and an amazing ability to just stay balanced and stay who they are, which I think is a really rare and amazing talent.”

Justin Bieber RAPS and Puts Baby Rumors Behind Him


Justin Bieber isn't letting baby daddy rumors get him down.

While 20-year-old Mariah Yeater is claiming Bieber is the father of her baby and demanding in court that he take a paternity test, Bieber is brushing off the news.

On Wednesday, he hung out at radio station Power106, and showed off his rapping skills. But, Bieber might have been wiser to rap about something OTHER than his relationships with the ladies. At one point, he said:
    "Get it done abundantly, she wants to get up under me.... I got honeys all up on me, baby I just get it done."

CONRAD MURRAY TRIAL: Prosecutor Says 'Poor Conrad Murray ...'


Prosecutor David Walgren is ATTACKING with sarcasm in his closing statement rebuttal.... telling the jury, "Poor Conrad Murray.... everyone is just working against him."

Walgren says Dr. Murray's treatment of Michael Jackson was littered with, "bizarre, unethical, unconscionable behavior".... adding, "That is why we are here."

Walgren says the defense team is blaming EVERYONE but the doctor -- mocking the defense for suggesting a "conspiracy" against the doctor.

"Everyone's to blame but Conrad Murray.... poor Conrad Murray."

CONRAD MURRAY TRIAL: Defense Strikes Back 'Dr. Murray Did Not Kill MJ'


Dr. Conrad Murray's defense attorney, Ed Chernoff, came out firing at the prosecution in his closing statement -- telling the jury, "They want you to convict Dr. Murray for the actions of Michael Jackson ... they just don't want to tell you that."

Chernoff was direct, "Dr. Murray did NOT kill Michael Jackson".... claiming it was Michael Jackson who killed Michael Jackson by self administering himself with prescription medication. 

Chernoff claims the prosecution failed to prove that Murray hooked MJ up to a Propofol drip before the singer died.... and without a drip, there is no way the prosecution can prove Murray ever put MJ's life in danger.

"They can't prove a crime ... and they REALLY need to prove a crime" ... Chernoff said.

Chernoff claims the most logical explanation is ... "Michael Jackson went into his personal bathroom and swallowed Lorazepam and Dr. Murray didn't know."

He added, "Somebody's got to say it.... If it were anybody else but Michael Jackson.... anybody else, would this doctor be here today?"

Chernoff might be feeling the heat ... he just drank a glass of water and quipped, "Is it warm in here or is it just me?"

He concluded by asking the jury to take their decision seriously.... saying, "This is not a reality show, this is reality.... I hope that you do the right thing and find Dr. Murray not guilty."

The latest Bond Girls were OFFICIALLY revealed for the first time today along with James Bond 007 himself A.K.A. Daniel Craig.

The cast and crew behind Bond 23 "Skyfall," appeared together for a photocall moments ago in London, where we got our first look at the two ladies alongside 007.

Kim Kardashian is telling friends -- she is so "DISTRAUGHT" over the divorce and torrent of publicity that followed -- she's bailing on her Australian appearances and returning home.

Kim is telling friends, The Melbourne Cup appearance -- a Thoroughbred horse race -- is the first time she's ever missed work, but she says she just can't handle it.

Kim also added, "I need to take care of me now, and I can't work for awhile."  It's unclear if Kim means that she's put the brakes on her reality show, or whether she'll be selective as to what she does and doesn't do.

Fox RENEWS 'The X Factor' For a Second Season


While its ratings haven't lived up to creator Simon Cowell's ambitions, "The X Factor" has been a solid success for Fox this fall, making the network's Wednesday (Nov. 2) renewal announcement less-than-surprising.

"'The X Factor' is a monumental success," states Fox Reality Guru Mik Darnell. "It’s won every night it’s been on the air, the talent is phenomenal, the live shows are spectacular and picking it up is a complete no-brainer. Simon and his team have done an incredible job with the show, and I’m absolutely thrilled to bring back 'The X Factor' for another fantastic season."

Justin Bieber Dismisses 'RUMORS' He Fathered a Baby With a Fan


Before he started dating girlfriend Selena Gomez, a 20-year-old female fan says Justin Bieber lost his virginity to her backstage and is the father of her 3-month-old child, according to new reports. But the "Baby" singer, 17, dismissed the paternity allegations as "rumors" and "gossip." "I'm gonna focus on the positives.... the music," he Tweeted Wednesday in reference to his Christmas album, Under the Mistletoe, released Tuesday.

The allegations are further complicated by the age gap between Bieber and Mariah Yeater, the fan making the claims. In California, the age of consent is 18, and the teen idol would have been 16 when the alleged sexual encounter occurred.

Kim Kardashian and Kris Humphries Had a BITTER Prenup

 CLICK PICTURE TO ENLARGE

Kim Kardashian and Kris Humphries had their prenup negotiated during the summer. Kim, Kris, and their lawyers had multiple meetings in various configurations. Sources say both Kim and Kris were sniping at each other during the talks, each complaining -- sometimes bitterly -- about the way the other was treating them.

One of the big sticking points -- how much of the cut Kris would get from all the wedding-generated $$$$.

One person familiar with the situation said.... "It was really apparent then.... this marriage WASN'T going to last, and even they could see it wasn't a good idea."

In the end, Kim pretty much got her way. Their assets stayed separate, Kris got a limited cut of the wedding money and they both walked away more richer than before!

Lindsay Lohan Will Get Out of Jail in MINUTES

 CLICK PICTURE TO ENLARGE

Lindsay Lohan will almost certainly get out of jail in a matter of minutes -- according to officials from the L.A. County Sheriff's Department.

Sheriff's Dept. officials say.... if someone receives a misdemeanor sentence of 90 days or less, they are routinely processed in and then released. As one of the officials put it, "She'll be out without even having to change her clothes."

Judge Stephanie Sautner sentenced Lindsay to serve 30 days in jail, adding that the only way to cut time off the sentence is if it's required by law. A Sheriff's official said misdemeanor inmates only serve 20% of the actual sentence because of overcrowding. But another Sheriff said because of overcrowding they immediately release inmates sentenced to less than 90 days.

As for what the judge said -- the sentence can only be reduced if required by law -- the officials say there's a federal court order on overcrowding that "trumps everything," and that order has been interpreted to immediately release people with short jail sentences.

This is why Lindsay never learns her lesson....justice never gets served in jail for her actions.

Lady Gaga Oils Up For HUGE Magazine Cover

Lady Gaga graces the cover of Visionaire's LARGER THAN LIFE issue, and while posing for fashion magazines is nothing new, this is the largest magazine ever produced, so it's definitely a big deal for the Grammy winner!

The front and back cover are approximately 5 feet by 7 feet, and these photos of Gaga dressed as an oily mermaid were shot by Inez van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin. "There is no oil too thick as to destroy the imagination," Gaga told the magazine.

Gaga also tweeted, "My 8 ft V Mag Cover! #Don'tPolluteTheDream," and she noted that her latest single 'Marry The Night' was added to radio today. "Thank you to all the stations who added it!" she tweeted. "It's my favorite on the album!"

Lindsay Lohan Sentenced to 30 DAYS IN JAIL

 CLICK PICTURE TO ENLARGE

Lindsay Lohan will serve 30 days in jail starting on November 9th -- and the judge is holding her on a tight leash to make sure she completes her probation.

Lindsay admitted she violated her probation by not attending therapy sessions as required by the court and by getting kicked out of the Downtown Women's Center.

The judge now says ALL of Lindsay's community service must now be served at the L.A. County Morgue.  And the judge gave Lindsay a tight structure on how she must complete the rest of her probation, and if she doesn't the judge will put a warrant out for her arrest and sentence her to an additional 270 days in jail.

As for the 30 days Lindsay is getting now -- the judge made it clear.... NO HOUSE ARREST.

The Sheriff's Dept. says Lindsay will serve only 20% of the 30 days -- 6 days in jail.

Judge Stephanie Sautner gave Lindsay a strict schedule on completing the rest of her probation -- by December 14, she must have completed 12 days at the morge and 4 psychotherapy sessions. By January 17, another 12 days at morgue and 4 psychotherapy sessions.  And so on.  Everything must be completed by March 29 -- or she goes directly to jail for 270 days.

Lindsay seemed happy, walking out of court saying, "Thank God," under her breath.

Kris Jenner: Kim Kardashian's Ring ISN'T Worth $2 Million!


Kris Jenner is shooting down another socially accepted fact about Kim Kardashian's wedding -- saying her engagement ring WASN'T even close to costing $2 million!

"It wasn't a 2 million dollar ring," Jenner said this morning on "Today." "I mean you write it down, you say it out loud and suddenly it’s a fact ... it was not 2 mill, it was less than half of that."

She then added, "I don’t know the exact price, I didn’t buy the ring. Some of these reports get so outrageous and everybody gets so carried away."

The ring was designed by Lorraine Schwartz, and it features a 16.5 carat emerald cut center stone flanked by two 2-carat trapezoids ... for a grand total of 20.5 carats.

Kim, along with sister Khloe and Khloe's husband Lamar Odom, were photographed at the Kardashian Kollection Handbag launch at Hugo's in Sydney, Australia today -- where Kim didn't crack too many smiles.

Kim also had her first interview since the split on Australia's Kyle & Jackie O Show, where she said why she still decided to go Down Under despite the split.

"In a tough situation, I think I’m you know trying to do the best that I can and it’s actually kind of an escape to be able come here," she said. "I had this commitment for our Kardashain collection handbags that we’re doing out here so I really wanted to honor that commitment and stay here and come out here just to get my mind off of everything."

Frank McCourt is SELLING the Dodgers!


Dodgers owner Frank McCourt just announced he's selling the team!

"The Los Angeles Dodgers and Major League Baseball announced that they have agreed today to a court-supervised process to sell the team and its attendant media rights in a manner designed to realize maximum value for the Dodgers and their owner, Frank McCourt," read a joint statement from Frank and the MLB.

The Blackstone Group LP will manage the sale process.

There are rumors that Frank will make as much as $1 BILLION for the team -- but so far, that number is still unconfirmed.

The news of the sale comes a few months after the team filed for bankruptcy -- and one month after Frank's $130 million divorce settlement with ex-wife Jamie.

Kim Kardashian's Divorce: One Big Publicity Stunt?

 CLICK PICTURE TO ENLARGE

A new promo and news from The Hollywood Reporter have us wondering if Kim Kardashian's divorce is for real.

When it comes to reality TV, lines between real and scripted have blurred in recent years. A new promo for the upcoming season of E!'s Kourtney & Kim Take New York hints that the breakdown of Kim and Kris Humphries' relationship will play out on camera.

Kardashian filed for divorce from her husband of 72 days on Monday, citing irreconcilable differences. The promo (below), starts with a narrator saying ominously, "They may have the world at their feet, but things can change in a New York minute."

Kardashian and Humphries starting filming the season after their lavish, $20 million wedding in August. Last week, reports spread that Kardashian's relationship with Humphries was the result of a casting decision -- that E! scouted several athletes to find a relationship for Kim on her family's reality show, Keeping Up With The Kardashians.

Kim and Kris got engaged after just six months together and married a few months later. It all played out on the show, complete with a four-hour wedding special that garnered more than 8 million viewers for E!. Such numbers might have tempted the publicity-savvy Kardashians to drum up another news-breaking item -- instead of a wedding, a divorce.

Now, The Hollywood Reporter says it's learned that Kris and Kim even filmed a scene for the show in which they decide to "take a break" from each other.

Kim Kardashian Donating $200k Instead of Returning Wedding Gifts


Kim Kardashian's wedding guests won't be getting their expensive wedding gifts back -- but Kim wants to make it up to everyone -- with one BIG charity donation. 

Kim blogged about her decision to divorce Kris Humphries -- insisting she "married for love".... but says, "I got caught up with the hoopla and the filming of the TV show that when I probably should have ended my relationship, I didn’t know how to and didn’t want to disappoint a lot of people."

She also added, "There are also reports that I made millions of dollars off of the wedding. These reports are simply not true and it makes me so sad to have to even clarify this."

"I’m so grateful to everyone who took the time to come to my wedding and I’ll be donating the money for all the gifts to the Dream Foundation."

Sources say Kim plans to give the organization a $200k check.

Kim concluded, "I’m sorry if I have hurt anyone, but my dad always told me to follow my heart I believe now that I really am."

 CLICK PICTURE TO ENLARGE

Kim's mom, Kris Jenner, went on the radio this morning to address her daughter's divorce from husband of 72 days Kris Humphries -- and shot down rumors the former-couple profited from their TV wedding.

"Kim had to make a very difficult decision," Jenner told Johnjay and Rich (via Us Weekly) earlier today. "Whatever her decision was at the time, I'm just here to support her as her mom and make sure she's okay today."

As for reports that Kim and Kris made money off of their televised nuptials, which E! had the exclusive rights to, Kris says Kim "didn't make a dime." Jenner adds, "She actually spent millions of dollars on this wedding, so it's not something that she thought would ever not be happily ever after."

And all those wedding gifts all her friends and family sent? Well, there's this: "I'm sure Kim will make a ginormous donation, as she does all the time anyway, very quietly, to a wonderfully deserving charity or children's hospital or something like that," Kris explained.

Maybe she does make donations....but Kris is not all that accurate with her daughters information. Kim Kardashian made MILLIONS off of her wedding. She got paid from E! Network and what about that People magazine cover? Once again....she has profited MILLIONS!

According to sources, Kris' family loves Kim and they're hoping beyond hope the divorce doesn't go through -- particularly because "it would kill Kris" if it was really the end.

Legendary Academy Awards producer Gilbert Cates has died.

Cates was known as THE go-to producer for the Oscars -- putting together a record 14 shows over 18 years, between 1990 and 2008 ... more than any other Academy Awards producer in history.

He was the uncle of actress Phoebe Cates.

Gilbert's body was discovered last night in a parking lot at UCLA. Emergency teams responded to a call on the campus around 5:50PM, but were unable to revive Cates.

CONRAD MURRAY TRIAL: The Defense Rests


The faith of Dr. Conrad Murray will be reached soon -- because the defense has rested it's case and are now gearing up for closing arguments.

Closing arguments are scheduled to begin Thursday morning -- but the defense won't be submitting any new evidence -- so if they haven't needled the jury with reasonable doubt yet in the death of Michael Jackson, they're facing an uphill battle.

It's also worth pointing out -- jurors notoriously hate coming back to court on Monday if they can help it ... which means there's a 99% chance they'll come up with a verdict by Friday, presuming closing arguments don't drag on.

Kim Kardashian TORTURED Over Divorce Decision

Apparently Kim cried all weekend, deciding to file legal docs, then changing her mind several times over -- and clearly she wasn't happy -- but wasn't 100% sure the marriage was irretrievably broken.

One of the reasons Kim filed divorce papers was because she was shocked and angry that Kris hired a Hollywood publicist. As she put it to one of her friends, "He's not in f**king Hollywood. He plays sports."

'In Living Color' RETURNS To FOX -- Produced By Keenan Ivory Wayans

 CLICK PICTURE TO ENLARGE

"In Living Color" is set to return to FOX in the spring, for the first time since it was canceled in 1994.

Keenan Ivory Wayans, who was one of the original cast-members on the hit 1990s sketch comedy series, has signed on to host and executive produce the reboot, according to Deadline.

FOX has ordered two half-hour "In Living Color" specials, to air mid-season in the spring as part of the network's 25th anniversary. If the specials fair well, "In Living Color" will join the schedule as a regular series next fall or mid-season.

The original series aired for five series, ending its run in May 1994 and launched the careers of comedians like Wayans, his siblings Damon Wayans, Shawn Wayans, Kim Wayans and Marlon Wayans, Jim Carrey, Jamie Foxx and David Alan Grier. Singer Jennifer Lopez also served as one of the Fly Girls on the comedy series.

The relaunch will feature a new cast of comedians and special guest musical performances. The relaunch will be produced by Wayans' production company, Ivory Way Prods. in association with 20th Century Fox TV's Fox 21, according to the industry website.

Since his appearance on "In Living Color," Keenan Ivory Wayans has appeared in films like "Don't Be a Menace to South Central While Drinking Your Juice in the Hood," the "Scary Movie" franchise, "White Chicks" and "Little Man."

The 53-year-old actor earned a primetime Emmy award in 1990 for Outstanding Variety, Music or Comedy Series for "In Living Color," which he shared with producers Kevin Bright, Tamara Rawitt and Michael Petok.

Kim Kardashian's Final Fight With Kris Humphries Was Over MONEY

 CLICK PICTURE TO ENLARGE

While some folks were shocked that Kim Kardashian filed for divorce from Kris Humphries so soon (she was married to the NBA star for just 72 days!), and it doesn't come as a total surprise given the recent rumors that their relationship was on the rocks, but it seems as though his love for Kim's money was ultimately what led to the end of their marriage.

A source who travelled to Dubai with Kim earlier this month says:

    "I heard Kim on the phone with Kris at one point during the trip, and she was swearing and screaming at him about how he doesn't have anything going on and how she's not going to support him."
     
The source added that the constant feuding was a huge source of stress for Kim, and interestingly enough, this isn't the first time Kris has been criticized for going after Kim's money. During the wedding episode of Keeping Up With The Kardashians, Kim's sister Khloe voiced her concern on the matter, saying she was "worried about Kris' intentions," adding that he "has nothing to lose if he marries Kim and gets a divorce."

Kris has signed a $9.6 million contract with the New Jersey Nets and so far (he made $3.2 million in 2010), but Kim and her family earned a WHOPPING $65 million in the same year, so she has far more at stake financially. The reality TV starlet has hired a high profile divorce attorney (no surprise there) to handle her case, and her rock solid prenup reportedly leaves her with just about everything.

Sounds like her troubles will be over soon enough....

Johnny Depp's 'The Rum Diary' BOMBS At The Box Office

 CLICK PICTURE TO ENLARGE

Moviegoers, who love Johnny Depp as Captain Jack Sparrow in the Pirates of the Caribbean movies, stayed away from his newest film The Rum Diary, in which he plays a fictionalized version of gonzo journalist Hunter S. Thompson.

Thompson may be just as colorful as Sparrow – the late journalist, who died in 2005, was famous for his intake of booze and drugs – but Depp’s newest movie, inspired by one of Thompson’s books, might as well have ended up in the drunk tank.

Opening this weekend in 2,272 theaters, the R-rated movie grossed just $5 million -- ranking fifth for the weekend and earning just $2,205 per location.

Rum Diary is Depp’s worst stumble at the box office since the arty fantasy movie The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus, which grossed just $7.7 million in the U.S. in 2009, although unlike Rum Diary, it never played in more than 607 theaters.

Kim Kardashian Divorce: Kris Humphries Was 'CHASING FAME'


Kim Kardashian's friends are scoffing at Kris Humphries, claiming he's full of BS when he says he wanted to have a simple life with her in Minnesota, because once the marriage fell apart, he immediately began "chasing fame."

They're saying in the last week or so, when they started talking about the possibility of divorce, Kris went into full Hollywood gear, talking about "branding" the Kris Humphries name with cologne, nightclub appearances and what not.

Kris was pushing to keep their connection going -- even if they ended their marriage -- and that threw up red flags.

Kim was especially put off that Kris hired a Hollywood publicist over the weekend to work on his image.

One of the main reasons for the divorce was that Kris wanted Kim to move to Minnesota, but once it became clear she wasn't leaving Hollywood and the marriage was over -- Kris was all about the very things he despised.

Looks like they have more things in common than we thought....

Rihanna was scheduled to perform in Malmö, Sweden -- but a rep for Live Nation claims the show has been canceled because the singer is "not in condition to conduct the concert."

Rihanna tweeted an apology on Twitter, writing, "I am sorry to everyone who was coming out to my show in Malmo Switzerland. I was so excited to perform for you all."

She adds, "It would have been a great time…so much better than being sick with the flu, ugh! I'm really disappointed I couldn't be there."

Kim Kardashian will NEVER, EVER move to Minnesota, and everyone knows that -- except Kris Humphries.

One of the main points of contention in the marriage was where the couple would live after all of the wedding madness finally died down. 

Sources say Kris was passionate about eventually settling down in Minnesota, where he's from. He believed Kim was on board with the plan.... but sadly, SHE WASN'T.

Sources say Kim -- who's from L.A. -- wants to stay near her family -- and she also feels that staying in town is the best thing for her career.

So why didn't this conversation come up before the $10 million wedding? We're told the two talked about their future ... but got caught up in the hooplah and figured they would simply figure it out after they tied the knot.

Apparently it's not a nasty break-up -- but the two have come to a realization that it's not a long-term fit.

Kim Kardashian filed for divorce Monday morning, after 72 days of not-so-wedded bliss to Kris Humphries.

The date of separation is listed as today, Oct. 31, 2011. According to the docs, Kim wants Kris to pay his own lawyers' fees and she'll pay hers. She also wants the court to reject any move by Kris to get spousal support. The length of the marriage was ONLY 2 months.

Kim has hired Laura Wasser, who has repped the likes of Britney Spears, Maria Shriver, Angelina Jolie, Ryan Reynolds, and Robyn Gibson, Mel's almost ex-wife.

The couple had a prenuptial agreement -- KIM MADE SURE OF THAT!

Rumors of a split had been swirling for some time and the two were spotted out to dinner earlier this week ... looking less than pleased with one another.
