The Kardashians Claim to Work Hard for the Money

The Kardashian gals—Kim, Khloe and Kourtney, plus Kylie and Kendall Jenner— made the cover of the May issue of Redbook, and Mom Kris Jenner takes the opportunity to address charges that her daughters have no talent. “They might not be singers or dancers, but they certainly know how to produce a television show,” the family matriarch says. “Whether you want to call it talent or not, they have multiple shows on the air. How many shows do you have?” Kris adds that her girls got where they are by old-fashioned hard work. “It’s annoying when I hear, ‘What do your girls do?’ Well, first of all, all of my daughters have jobs. They are fashion stylists and designers; they own a chain of stores. They had the stores before they had the show. And my kids worked from the time they were 13 years old. So to me, that’s a huge misconception that the girls don’t work. They work 25 hours a day.” Considering the Kardashians made $65 million last year, they’re not exactly working for minimum wage.

Things Get Pug-ly Between Charlie Sheen and Denise Richards

While some people seem to find Charlie Sheen’s recent antics amusing, his latest actions may be hard to forgive. On Monday, Charlie Tweeted: “We must bombard with Warlock Napalm, that traitor and loser whore #DUH -neese POOR-ARD. A VILE KIDNAPPER AND NOW DOG THIEF. HATE.” OK, crazy Charlie’s going off on one of his exes again. What set him off this time? Well, way back when Charlie married Denise Richards, she had an adorable pair of pugs. Following their divorce, the canines resided with Charlie so their daughters could be with the pups on weekend visits.

Kate Walsh Loves Playing a Lesbian

Kate Walsh has a role most women would enjoy on the ABC series “Private Practice,” since she has plenty of steamy love scenes with her hunky co-star Taye Diggs. The actress has a very different role in the new indie film “Angels Crest,” where she plays a lesbian artist stuck in a small town. Walsh has previously played lesbians in the 2003 film “Under the Tuscan Sun” as well as 2005’s “Inside Out,” so it’s not surprising she was comfortable in the role. The actress told The Advocate, “I loved the character, and the relationship between her and her partner was really interesting to me. There’s humor in how she’s an artist and kind of gruff and no-nonsense. It’s a really beautiful film.”

Mila Kunis Talks About Getting Naked with Justin Timberlake

If the movie “Friends with Benefits” is half as hot as the interviews its stars are doing, we’re in for some steamy onscreen sex. Mila Kunis dished to The Advocate about doin’ the nasty onset with co-star Justin Timberlake: “We had two weeks’ worth of sex scenes to shoot. Justin would just wear a sock that covered his frontal parts, so yeah, I could pretty much see everything. And I had tiny nipple pasties and a little pasty on my hoo-ha. We couldn’t have been more uncomfortable in the beginning, but by the fourteenth day, we’d just drop our robes, like, ‘Hey, how’s it goin’?”

Bret Michaels Sues Tony Awards Over 2009 Accident

Rocker Bret Michaels is lucky to be alive after suffering a near-fatal brain hemorrhage last year. The Poison frontman and reality star is doing much better following surgery, but he still has to deal with the effects of the bleeding in his brain. When I heard about Michaels’ illness, the first thing I thought was, “Didn’t he get hit in the head with a piece of scenery at some awards show last year?” While singing a song live onstage at the 2009 Tony Awards, he was whacked in the head by a stage prop, resulting in a broken nose and split lip. At the time, the idea that the singer might have suffered any lasting effects from the incident were dismissed, but now Michaels is taking them seriously. On Friday. Michaels filed suit against the organizers of the awards show and CBS Broadcasting, claiming that the accident could have led to his brain hemorrhage.

R.I.P Elizabeth Taylor, The Last Star

The most legendary and beautiful actress ever to grace the silver screen died this morning at the age of 79. Elizabeth Taylor had been hospitalized at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center for several weeks suffering from congestive heart failure. A biographer called Taylor “The Last Star,” and she certainly lived like one until the very end. Taylor began her career as a child star in films like “National Velvet,” before blooming into a voluptuous, one-of-a-kind beauty. In the 50s and 60s, Taylor was best known for her tumultuous personal life that included eight marriages and a pair of headline-making affairs. In 1959, following the tragic death of third husband Michael Todd, Taylor began an affair with his best friend, singer Eddie Fisher that scandalized the nation because the teen idol was still married to girl-next-door Debbie Reynolds, the mother of his two young children.

Brooklyn Decker Gets a Serious Actress Makeover

Does this mean that model Brooklyn Decker is getting serious about pursuing an acting career?

Brooklyn has stated that she might be ready to trade her modeling career for fulltime movie stardom, and on Tuesday, she took a big step toward changing her image.

Keira Knightley Calls “Pirates of the Caribbean” Films Frivolous Fun

Keira Knightley is currently showing her serious side co-starring with “Mad Men” actress Elisabeth Moss on the London stage in a production of “The Children’s Hour,” but she’s best known for her part in the insanely popular Disney “Pirates” films. Alas, the newest installment of the franchise “Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides” debuts in May minus both Kiera and co-star Orlando Bloom. Keira looked back at her “Pirates” experience for British newspaper The Daily Telegraph: “I don’t know it’s kind of incomparable. “Pirates’ is a big huge Hollywood extravaganza. It’s based on a theme park ride so you’re not exactly diving into the theme park ride to grab the essence of it. It is what it is, it’s for fun and frivolity and I think there is a huge place for that, it’s escapism and we all need a bit of that. Turn our brains off and have a lovely time.” Who doesn’t enjoy that occasionally? See more photos of Keira from Madame Figaro magazine after the jump.

Behind the Beckham Baby Bump

On January 9th Victoria (36 years old) and David Beckham (35 years old) confirmed there is a bun in the Posh oven, and the duo couldn’t be happier to welcome a fourth child into their family.  On February 8, 2011, Victoria Beckham was photographed wearing a loose shirt, and maybe showing a teeny tiny bit of a baby bump (I still can’t see it).  So far, the couple has not disclosed any due date to the media, and so I was not able to calculate how far along Victoria Beckham is, but she still is looking fabulously slim.
