Kim Kardashian talks about plastic surgeries

Kim Kardashian is often confronted with rumors that made plastic surgeries. She discovered recently that such stories do not get upset her. “Rumors do not bother me anymore. I read that I maximize the lips. I’ve always had a big mouth; you can see my pictures from my childhood. This is ridiculous. You can not take care of all the rumors,” said Kim.

However, the subjects of articles are not only her lips. “They show me a picture of today and the picture from yesterday and then on the basis of her claim that I have operated the nose. When? And how many times did I work on ‘rear side’? Human logic is very strange and I do not bother,” she said.

Kim is happy because her younger sister does not have to deal with such rumors. Besides being referred to rumors of operations, revealed that if she would not be famous, she would be forensic or makeup artist.

She stars in one of the hottest shows on television, and Julie Bowen told Ryan Seacrest that staying in shape for the red carpet isn’t as hard as she thought it would be.

The “Modern Family” mommy shared that trying to keep track of her kids is, in itself, plenty of physical activity for her.

“My kids don’t do what I tell them to do so I have to pick them up and haul them around a lot. They weigh a lot. So I’m doing some sort of gym activity with my children all day long. Doing baby curls. I also run. ALOT.”

As for her notorious “double breast feeding” picture, Julie laughed, “It’s become an instant classic. I didn’t think it was a big deal. I thought it was funny, and that’s the way I spent a year of my life so I thought I would take a picture and laugh at it.”

Beyonce talks sexy bloke scents

Ever been on a date with a bloke who was wearing so much aftershave it was like he had bathed in it? For a week? Beyonce clearly has…

The singer-actress-entrepreneur find men with super strong aftershave a complete turn off.

Bey says, ““A man should never be too overbearing with his scent. I’ve been in too many elevators next to too many men with strong aftershave and it’s a total turn-off. With men, a scent should be subtle, clean and fresh, and just make you want to lean in to smell more. That’s sexy.”

We totally agree. There’s nothing worse than being able to taste your man’s Lynx on a night out. Vom.

Beyonce has just launched her second fragrance, Heat Rush, and says her hubby, rap star Jay-Z, was fully involved in the creative process. Why? Because she will only wear perfumes he approves of, obvs.

She told Cosmopolitan magazine: “One of the most important aspects of my perfume is that they get his seal of approval. When you wear a perfume, you want your man to love it. He loves my scents because he was part of the decision-making process. I wouldn’t wear a scent of he didn’t like it.”

Makes perfect sense to us. Maybe we should get our next boyfriends in on the scent-creating action. There’s not that much to it, right? A few rose petals…a bit of water…Okay, maybe not. We’ll just get him to buy our fave perfume for us! Excellent solution.

'Spider-Man' Musical Star Talks Production Delays And Fighting Fear

"Things are constantly changing. It's a very creative process," T.V. Carpio told MTV News, explaining the seemingly ever-shifting nature of "Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark."

For some observers on the outside looking in, that might come off as spin, an "it's all good" mentality meant to calm the public while inside the musical's playhouse, "Spider-Man" continues to struggle to find its creative footing. But to Carpio, it's all part of the inspirational process of working with Julie Taymor, the visionary behind the "Lion King" musical and films like 2007's "Across the Universe."

"You have to be down to jump, because Julie is always having these crazy visions," said Carpio, who took on the role of the villainess Arachne after the original actress left the production. "She's amazing like that, and you just have to go with it."

Still, there's no doubting that the cast of "Turn Off the Dark" has had a lot to just go with. From multiple delays in the show's official Broadway debut to highly publicized safety issues and injuries, the musical is being buzzed about for all the wrong reasons. Recent reports suggest fresh behind-the-scenes talent is being welcomed into the fold.

Carpio, however, denied reports that Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa, a playwright and comics writer, has been hired to work on script issues. "I haven't heard anything about a writer joining us. Whenever they do change anything, they make an announcement to the cast," she said. "They told us that all the rumors, if we haven't been told about them, aren't true."

The cast has been working closely with musical supervisor Paul Bogaev, one of Taymor's longtime collaborators, to enhance various musical numbers. "There aren't any new songs," Carpio said. "Paul's just working with the songs we already have. Yesterday, he helped write a new part for my monologue in the second act. And we put in a new flight. He's just another set of outside eyes helping sculpt what's already there. But he is the only new one who's actually there and working.

"Although it's new, because he hasn't worked on 'Spider-Man' all along, Julie works with a lot of the same people," she added. "The family we have working on the music -- the choreographers, dancers, actors -- is sort of like the family from 'Across the Universe.' It didn't feel crazy, like, 'Who's this guy?' It was like, 'Oh hey, Paul!' "

Through all the changes, Carpio has kept herself insulated within what she affectionately calls her "'Spider-Man' bubble" and has been readying for the upcoming premiere of "Limitless," a thriller in which she co-stars with Bradley Cooper that hits theaters on March 18. Whatever happens with "Turn Off the Dark" in the future, the actress has managed to keep anxiety at bay -- the original Arachne, Natalie Mendoza, dropped out after suffering a concussion during a high-flying stunt -- and focused on the task at hand: delivering an entertaining Broadway experience.

"To give the kind of performance you want to give, there's no room for fear. There's always adrenaline, but it's not about fear. You just have to trust you can do it," she said. "I don't care about what goes on outside. I can't control what people say; I can only control my performance. That's the only thing I can give."

Hayden Panettiere Talks about Playing Amanda Knox in Controversial Lifetime Movie

Lifetime Television is taking a bold step by airing their made-for-TV movie 'Amanda Knox: Murder On Trial in Italy' tonight at 9PM ET, given the ongoing controversy over the case.

Most of the country is aware of Knox, due to the almost-constant news reports covering this international headline-grabbing story: Knox, an American exchange student, was accused by Italian authorities of brutally stabbing and killing her British roommate Meredith Kercher on November 2, 2007 in their flat in Perugia, Italy. After a well-publicized and controversial trial, Knox was convicted of murder and sentenced to 26 years in prison; her boyfriend Raffaele Sollecito was sentenced to 25 years. An accomplice, Rudu Guede, was sentenced to 30 years, which was reduced to 16 in 2009.

Knox's family has apparently made an effort to block the film, saying it creates an "evil opinion" of their daughter while lawyers appeal her conviction.

According to AOL News, a particular scene in the film is also causing uproar. The clip, which shows the victim in a bra, being held while she screams, was included in a trailer on Lifetime's website. However, the U.K.'s The Sunday Telegraph is reporting the scene has since been cut from the film. There is no confirmation on whether the scene will be included in the U.S. version.

Hayden Panettiere, best known for her role as cheerleader Claire Bennet on 'Heroes,' plays Knox in the movie. There's a lot riding on her shoulders playing a living person who is currently spending her days and nights in a small jail cell awaiting word on her appeal. We spoke to Panettiere to find out if she had reservations about making this movie, if she had an opinion of Knox's guilt or innocence and if she made an attempt to meet Knox in person.

Pat Gallagher: Given all the controversial aspects in this case, did you feel a sense of responsibility playing Amanda Knox?
Hayden Panettiere: Absolutely. To play somebody who is still alive and still going through this is something that you really want to make sure that you do right and you do it justice. I know there's been some controversy surrounding [the movie] but the way in which it's done is, in my opinion, really tasteful. There's nothing in it that's incriminating her or would sway or hold any weight in court and sway the opinions of the judges and have any sort of outcome on her appeal. But I definitely feel a pressure to make sure you do the character justice.

It's uncanny how much you looked like Amanda in the movie. Was that kind of an eerie feeling knowing that you actually looked so much like her?
No, I loved it. I was excited that it was like that. Having been on ['Heroes'] for four years where people become very familiar with you as one specific character, and especially one that was such a specific type -- a cheerleader, All-American -- that you want to make sure that people, when they watch you in films, don't look and see, "Oh, Hayden Panettiere is dressed up as this person," but you see the character.

Why did you want to do this role, given that it was such a controversial trial that your portrayal of Amanda could actually sway opinion about her one way or another?
Well, that's what I mentioned, what I was just saying before was that the way in which the film is done has no ability to sway anyone's opinion where it matters, where it counts, you know in the appeal, in the court of law. And there's nothing that's in it that is not fact-driven, and that's the thing that's so interesting about it is everyone has their role to play in the film ... and how convinced everyone is of their side of the story, of their idea of what happened.

Amanda was convinced of her innocence. The prosecutor Mignini [was] convinced that it was a drug fueled orgy gone wrong. You really see the conviction in everyone's side of the story while watching this, and therefore the audience really gets to make the decision about whether they think that she's guilty or innocent. I wanted to do it because it's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and character to play and what an amazing story, what a compelling and interesting and international story it was and is.

How did you research this part?
I just watched hours and hours of footage on her, everything I could get my hands on: the news specials that were going on all over the world. It was really interesting to watch the Italian news specials compared to the American news specials because the general consensus in Italy is definitely that she's guilty, and the general consensus here in the U.S. is much more that she's innocent.

So what I really tried to do, because it was very much a challenge to portray someone that you didn't know whether they were innocent or guilty, [was] to just embody what I saw of her as her personality, her aura, you know, what came across in court.

Did you go over any of the trial transcripts?
Yes. I did have the testimonies and they're all very ... they very much contradict themselves all over the place, very difficult to read ... they're going back and forth and saying it, rewording it in all these ways that are just so confusing so by the end you're going: is this a fact or is this not a fact? I'm confused.

Did you have any opinions about her innocence or guilt?
I genuinely didn't. I spent five weeks on this film talking about it, reading everything I could get my hands on, watching all this news footage, and I went so back and forth. I'd go, "Oh, she's innocent, oh, she's guilty, oh, she's innocent," and every little amount of new information that I acquired changed my mind.

So I feel like when you just see it from the outside and you don't really research it but you watch one version of it, then you might have an opinion, but when you really get into it and you really start reading the facts and you really educate yourself about it, it's very difficult to have one. It's very difficult to know.

Where's the reasonable doubt factor in this trial? How is Italian law different from American law in that regard?
It's very different over there. It seemed to be there was a lot of speculation. The people who were on the jury were people, I believe, from Perugia who were not screened for prejudice or anything like that. It very much went the way of the Italian court. It seemed to be, to me, that they really made an example of her, and what came into play was upholding the moral codes of Italy. And in the prosecutor's closing statement, he paints this picture, but it's not really a picture that's painted around facts, it's a picture that's painted around ideas. When you listen to him paint this picture of her, it seems to be not very fact-driven, but it seems to be speculation. It seems to be an idea of what he thought could go on.

At any time did you want to talk to Amanda or any of her family members about playing her or to get some insight into her personality?
I actually wanted to meet her, and it just didn't pan out. She, in the beginning, didn't want to meet me and then she changed her mind and wanted to meet me, but she only had two days to see her family and to impede on that just didn't seem like the right thing to do. And then to meet her family and not meet the Kercher family ... it just posed all of these problems. But I did want to, but I think we did a decent job with the film even though we didn't meet.

If you met her, what would you like to say to her?
I mean, of course you want to ask, "Did you do it? What happened?" But you don't. And you're not going to. I'd be more interested in what she had to say to me, what her reaction would be towards me.

Are you following the appeal closely?
Yeah, I'm definitely keeping my eye on it.

'Amanda Knox: Murder on Trial' airs Monday, February 21 at 9 PM ET/PT on Lifetime.

Wiz Khalifa Talks Working With Snoop Dogg: 'He Is So Cool'

There are three things you can count on in life. Death, taxes and Snoop Dogg ruling the pop landscape. It's been that way since the wiry West Coast hip-hop icon first released his 1993 landmark multi-platinum debut, 'Doggystyle.'

Now, with the March release of his upcoming album 'Doggumentary,' Snoop is headed back to his smoked-out roots. News has already been circulating about his new stoner comedy, 'High School,' an April 20 film that also features current rap star-in-the-making Wiz Khalifa, whose 'Black & Yellow' is riding high as a top 10 hit on the Billboard singles chart. According to Wiz, working with Snoop was a dream come true.

"It's been great," Wiz tells PopEater of his planned screen time with the Doggfather, who is also featured on the Pittsburgh rapper's all-star remix for 'Black & Yellow.'

"Snoop is definitely an icon. I don't get nervous around him because he is so cool. We have this soundtrack we are recording for 'High School.' At the same time, we are working on the movie," Wiz tells us. "Me and Snoop are getting a bunch of people who are on the same movement we are on; people who are known for the same things we do."

As for Wiz's own career, he is set to drop his buzz-heavy debut album 'Rolling Papers' on March 29. "I really want it to represent the mature next step in my music," he says of his new work. "A lot of people have been following me for some years now; they know my growth and progression. I just really want to build on top of that and still surprise people."

Cheryl Burke Slams Paparazzi, Talks Maks-Karina Breakup and Awful Relationships

Feb 18th 2011 11:00PMEmail This
On Cheryl Burke's first year with 'Dancing With the Stars,' she and partner Drew Lachey took home the mirror ball trophy. In that moment, America had discovered a new dancing queen and have adored her ever since. It turns out she's the only professional dancer to appear four times in the finals. However, bubbly Burke's private life has not been festooned with feathers and sequins. She has battled with her confidence and body issues, been involved in abusive relationships and was sexually molested as a child. She talks about all of it in her memoir, 'Dancing Lessons,' and spoke with PopEater about how being assaulted "ruined my self-esteem and confidence" for many years, and she gives her honest take on prying paparazzi.

"I think there's some really nice ones out there," she says. "But I do hate the ones that make it difficult for me, the ones that have criticized my weight, the ones who have called me a party girl and have made my parents worry about me."
Was it hard writing this book?
I just figured if I was going to write a book I needed to tell my story, and there was no way of going around it because what I dealt with is what my story is all about. And I feel like dancing has really shaped who I am today, and I feel like what I've gone through with dancing, it's helped me get through the dark stages of my life.

You never wanted to be on TV.
As a little girl when I started dancing at 4, it was never to be on TV, it was just for the pure love of dancing. I was in New York with my dance partner and things weren't going well between us, we were also romantically involved and that didn't help and things were going downhill. At the time the show was trying to recruit more dancers to be on the show, and they approached me. I'm very shy, and I was terrified to talk on camera. In the beginning I couldn't even put a complete sentence together, but I just thought, you know what? Why not just try it because things aren't working out for me in New York anyway and might as well try and start a new life, and that's how it happened.

You started going to clubs, and you were painted as a party girl.
I was shocked. I never experienced the life I guess you would normally when you're 18, 19, 20. I was just dancing, and that's all I cared about. I never drank a sip of alcohol in my life and then finally it hits and I'm not in a relationship, I go to LA, I'm by myself, and I'm forced to communicate and meet new people and make friends, and I'm having a good time. And what's wrong with that? It's what any other 21-year-old would do, except I had people following me.

Does that mean you can't stand the paparazzi?
Well, I love the nice ones. I think there's some really nice ones out there, but I do hate the ones that make it difficult for me, the ones that have criticized my weight, the ones who have called me a party girl and have made my parents worry about me. It's like I don't think they realize what they are really doing to someone's self-esteem and also to someone's family.

Talking about weight, how upsetting was that bikini photo controversy back in 2008?
It was very upsetting. I didn't know how to deal with it. It came out when I was right in the middle of the season and I'm trying to put on a smile and then having to be in those costumes knowing at the same time that you're on the cover of Star magazine being criticized for my weight. It was the hardest thing for me.

How did you lose the weight?
I started dancing again and eating healthy again! I took a little break. I mean, I'd been going and going, I just needed a little vacation, and like any normal human being, I gained a few pounds. I'm 5'4" and you just notice when I gain weight. I gained about 10 pounds, and it just came off naturally. I tried to take it off in unhealthy ways at first. I tried to starve myself but that clearly didn't work longer than, oh I don't know, a day, I love food too much.

How uncomfortable was it backstage when Maks and Karina broke up? Was it Team Maks and Team Karina?
Oh no, not at all. It wasn't uncomfortable; it was more like I saw it coming. You didn't really expect them to be together anyway. They have very strong personalities, so I think it was bound to happen. I never saw them getting engaged in the first place. It was a shock to me.

They're not speaking now, are they?
I have no idea. I don't want to get involved. I have my own issues.

Is the show like high school with sequins?
It is a little bit, especially when we go out on tour. It's like our little soap opera.

On a more serious note, you write of being sexually abused by someone your parents hired when you were a young girl.
Yeah, that was definitely something in my life that I'm still dealing with. I think it ruined my self-esteem and my confidence and explains how I got into these high school relationships that were physically and emotionally abusive. When someone does that to such a young kid, I was 5 years old, I didn't know what was wrong and right and then you have to deal with that trauma. I think it does affect you. The reason why I talk about it is because I know a lot of people can relate to my story, and I think it's important for people to talk about it and go get help.

You have been in some awful relationships.
Being attracted to these unavailable men, that's where I want to naturally go, but at the end of the day I see red flags everywhere now. When I see jealousy and men who are controlling, that's my red flag, and it should be for any girl, to get out.

When you go to a club, do you laugh at people who dance terribly?
Um yeah, especially if they're off time and they think they're really good. I don't laugh at them. I love the fact that people are going out there and dancing, I just think it's hilarious to watch.

Would you ever date someone who has two left feet?
Oh, I would love to date somebody who couldn't dance. I think that's what makes a relationship interesting, to have someone who's good at something that the other person isn't, so you can learn from each other.

Or you can just spend your time laughing at him.
(Laughs) Exactly!
