Kim Kardashian will reveal the gender of her baby on the season premiere of
Keeping up with the Kardashians. Not only will the question of the baby’s gender be answered, we’ll also find out how low Kim is willing to stoop for publicity.
Kardashian sister Kendall Jenner sent out a tweet the other night saying, “Just wish things could be easier sometimes man.” Don’t kid yourself. It’s not easy waking up in your mansion, going out to the pool and trying to decide which side to tan first.

KIM KARDASHIAN will reveal the gender of her baby on the season premiere of
Keeping up with the Kardashians on June 2nd. Yes, it’s the same Kim Kardashian that said she wanted to protect her baby from the spotlight and that she was going to keep a lower media profile. Meanwhile, the National Enquirer says Kim could spend a million dollars on the birth. Kim has hired a top photographer to document the delivery and her first week as a new mom at a cost of $1,000 a day and she’s spending over $4,000 per day for a deluxe birthing suite at L.A.’s Cedars-Sinai
Medical Center which, of course, will be filled with dozens of white roses. While the hospital provides three gourmet meals a day, Kim has put some of her favorite restaurants on call for the duration of her stay. Kim also spent $25,000 on lingerie while she was in Paris last month, because you wouldn’t expect her to wear one of those hospital gowns. Of course, Kim couldn’t possibly give birth without her favorite hair­dresser on call at a rate of $1,500 per day for three days.
AMANDA BYNES was arrested in New York last night after her building's doorman called 911 to report she was smoking pot in the lobby. When officers went to her apartment, she opened the door and they saw a bong, which she then allegedly threw out the window. As she was being arrested, Amanda yelled at the officers, "Don't you know who I am?" She was first taken to Roosevelt Hospital for a psychiatric evaluation before being booked on charges of reckless endangerment, tampering with evidence and criminal possession of marijuana. What could make it worse for Amanda is that she’s on probation for driving without a license. Before this little incident, the big news on Amanda was that she tried to board a private jet to Los Angeles last weekend, but they didn’t let her fly because she didn’t have any I.D. Amanda then Googled herself and showed them the pictures and screamed, "I'm Amanda Bynes!" Alas, it was no go.

LINDSAY LOHAN supposedly invited her long-time drug dealer to visit her at the
Betty Ford Center! However, Radar Online says they were wise to the guy and wouldn’t allow the visit. They also told Lindsay that she needs to cut her ties to the guy once she leaves rehab, if she’s to overcome her addictions. Although, you probably know what the odds of that happening are.
At the MICHAEL JACKSON wrongful death trial it was revealed that a lawyer for the parent company of AEG Live called Michael a ‘freak’ on the day he signed to do those This Is It concerts. When one of the lawyers e-mailed his boss to say he was going to Jackson's home to sign the contracts, the boss replied: "Does this mean you get to meet the freak?" The lawyer then responded, "Apparently. Not sure how I feel about that. Interesting for sure, but kind of creepy." Jackson family lawyers say it proves AEG had no respect for Michael, while a lawyer for AEG said all the other side has done is attack and has not shown any evidence.
Apparently someone slapped some sense into Girls Gone Wild founder JOE
FRANCIS because he’s now apologizing for the "appalling" remarks he made in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, where he said jurors in his case were
"mentally f--king retarded" and "should all be lined up and shot!" In a statement,
Francis said he deeply regrets the remarks and that they don’t reflect his true feelings. No word on just who might buy that, but he is appealing the verdict.
DONALD TRUMP has won his legal battle with an 87-year-old grandmother in
Chicago. The woman bought a couple of condos in Trump’s high-rise building and there was a clause in the contract that said buyers could share in the building’s profits. However, there was another clause that said Trump could cancel the profitsharing plan anytime he saw fit. Not surprisingly, Trump saw fit to cancel the profit sharing and keep the money for himself. The lady not only lost her suit, but
Trump rubbed her face in it afterwards, calling the verdict "a complete and total victory" and that "She should be ashamed of herself."

SOULJA BOY had his red Bentley impounded by the LAPD. The story is pretty scary in Big Brother terms. TMZ says that back on January 9th a motorcyclist Tboned a red Bentley in Hollywood. The biker was seriously injured and the
Bentley’s door was damaged. The driver of the Bentley was at fault, but fled the scene. A friend of the biker went back to the scene a few days later and asked around to see if they knew who owned the Bentley. Someone knew it belonged to
Soulja Boy, so the friend went to police with the details. It turns out that the cops have access to a database of photos taken by thousands of hidden cameras on police cars, buildings and private vehicles all over L.A. Private citizens and businesses are paid to host these cameras and they say the average car is photographed at least 1,000 times per day! They used the photo database to find
Soulja Boy’s ride, which is now dent-free, although they think he had it repaired since. There’s no word on if they think he was the driver or if he loaned the car.
MMA fighter WAYLON LOWE is challenging the Kama Sutra adult products company to a steel courtroom death match. Lowe is suing the company, claiming their Pleasure Balm Prolonging Gel caused excruciating pain down there and he was horrified to see a significantly swelled member. It’s not as good as it might sound as Lowe says he ended up with "catastrophic and permanent damage" to said body part, including scarring and disfigurement, permanent loss of sensation, function and nerve damage. Kama Sutra tells TMZ the lawsuit is BS, claiming the product has worked safely without incident for 40 years.
BILL HADER was doing an interview about his recent departure from Saturday
Night Live when the subject of Justin Timberlake came up. Hader said Timberlake was great and that he doesn't show up with an entourage - it's just him. As for
JUSTIN BIEBER, Hader said he showed up with 20 guys and even had a guy holding a slice of pizza and another holding a Diet Coke. Hader added, “You're trying to fight through all these people to get dressed. Timberlake, it was just him.
He's a real class act, that guy.”

In Britain, there’s a 10-year-old boy named Oliver Burton who was born with
Down's syndrome and has been diagnosed with cancer. He had a wish to have tea with Queen Elizabeth II. Sadly, she declined, but HELEN MIRREN, who won an
Oscar for her role in The Queen, did invite Oliver and his family to see a West End performance of the play The Audience, in which she also portrays the queen. After the show Oliver got to go backstage where Mirren remained dressed in character and had tea with him. Oliver also got to play with the two corgis used in the play and was knighted by Mirren. Oliver's dad says, "Oliver thought she was the real queen, and well, that's good enough for us."

The feud between JON BON BOVI and RICHIE SAMBORA rages on. After Bon
Jovi hinted in an interview that Sambora’s latest absence from the band was again over substance issues, Sambora fired back by saying, “I don’t have any major problems in life right now. I love my fans and I feel bad for them at the moment.
My opinion is Jon wants to see if he can pull off stadiums by himself. He is making it very difficult for me to come back.”
PAUL MCCARTNEY has posted a handwritten letter to Russian authorities calling for justice for imprisoned female punk rock band Pussy Riot.

The Internal Revenue Service is catching heat for targeting certain conservative groups seeking tax-exempt status. Among the tax-exempt groups not targeted by the IRS is the National Football League. Despite taking in about $10 billion per year in revenue, they pay zip in taxes. It seems that way back in 1966 when the
AFL and NFL merged, then-commissioner Pete Rozelle was granted a request for an anti-trust exemption. The NFL also then received tax-exempt status and 47 years has apparently been too brief a period of time for anyone to catch on.
Some off-duty police officers carry their service weapons while others carry spike strips. This turned out to be unfortunate for Slidell, Louisiana’s Clint and Prilla
Coslett, who absconded from a local Wal-Mart with a $37 ink jet printer. When
Coslett saw police arriving on the scene, he put his SUV in gear and nearly hit the officer approaching the vehicle on foot. The Cosletts led police on a high-speed chase while throwing meth and marijuana out of the vehicle. Enter the off-duty officer and his spike strips and the Cosletts are behind bars on numerous charges.
As part of the stimulus program, the Maryland State Department of Education received $540,000 in federal money to help the state's poorest schools. No word on how those schools were helped by using the money to send parents, school volunteers and staff members on dinner cruises in Baltimore's Inner Harbor; or to a theater performance; or for a catered makeover day for mothers and daughters, or face painters, balloons and a steel orchestra for a middle school fair.
Toronto Mayor Rob Ford has lost his job following an alleged video that purportedly shows him smoking crack. Ford is still on the job is mayor, but even though the public has yet to see the video, he’s been fired by the Toronto Catholic
District School Board from his volunteer position as coach of the Don Bosco
Eagles high school football team. However, the school board says it’s not the allegations that prompted his sacking, but a recent interview in which he described the Don Bosco community as "crime ridden" and the youth as "gang bangers."

Britain’s Emma Way has been suspended from her job and faces possible criminal charges over a hit and run accident with a bicyclist. Emma might still have her job and be in the clear if she hadn’t sent out a tweet saying, “Definitely knocked a cyclist off his bike earlier – I have right of way he doesn’t even pay road tax.” The post went viral and Norwich police sent Emma a tweet saying, “We suggest you report it at a police station ASAP.” She also heard from bicyclist Tom Hockley, who wrote on Emma’s Facebook page: “That was me you hit and FYI, you didn’t knock me off, I’m too hard to be hurt by a pissy micra or whatever it was you were driving.” However, Tom told the BBC he did go flying off his bike into a hedge.
After refusing a security guard’s request to remove their hats, sisters Zakia and
Tasha Clark and Makia Underwood were kicked out of suburban Philadelphia’s
King of Prussia Mall. It seems the hats were emblazoned with the letters F and U, followed by a pink anti-breast cancer ribbon, and the letter K. The sisters were wearing the hats because their mother died from the disease last week and they were shopping for dresses to wear to her funeral.
Having iceberg lettuce with dinner is good. Having dinner on an iceberg wasn’t so good for several tourists in Iceland. The dinner party was enjoying their meal while floating on piece of ice in a glacial lagoon. Unfortunately, during the meal, a gust of wind pushed their ice floe away from land, leaving them stranded about 30 feet from the shore, forcing them to call for help. Rescuers said, “When we arrived it was quite comical to see them sitting on chairs and with a table on an iceberg...Yes the dinner was over.”
In Australia, Shropshire college student Xenna Kristian was pulled from her chair by her ponytail and repeatedly kicked in the face and left with a possible broken jaw by school bullies. And what prompted such a stupid act? It seems they were jealous of her resemblance to Taylor Swift and the fact that she’d been working her way through college as an impersonator of the singer.
