Kim Kardashian: Why I Ignored My Family’s Warnings About Kris Humphries.

It might have been hard having her fairy-tale marriage to Kris Humphries end so quickly while the entire country was watching, but Kim Kardashian wouldn’t change a thing about the experience — even though it meant ignoring the advice of her family.

“You look back and you’re like, ‘OK, that was a sign,’ or, you know, ‘Maybe I should have listened to (my family),’ she told The Tonight Show host Jay Leno Wednesday night. “But, I wouldn’t have been who I am today had I not gone through that.” Watch a clip from the interview below.

“It was really tough to go through, and I didn’t know the media would be so brutal with it, but I’ve learned so many lessons about it and it’s changed who I am as a person, I think for the better,” Kardashian, 31, told Leno. “The things I care about in life have completely changed because of this, so I really think everything happens for a reason.”

That’s why she doesn’t regret failing to heed her family’s warnings about Humphries, which they delivered both on Keeping Up with the Kardashians and in the press.

“I’m a person, when I’m in love, you can’t tell me anything,” Kardashian explained. “And you gotta go through it yourself. So, I did what I believed in doing, and sometimes you don’t want to hear what your family has to say.”

But as for speculation that the 72-day marriage was a publicity stunt? That’s one rumor Kim won’t abide. “What you see is what you get,” Kardashian says of her reality television lifestyle. “I showed my life and the reality of my life and it might not be pretty all the time, but it’s who I am and I learned so much from it.”

What do triplets Heidi Klum, Russell Brand and Johnny Depp all have in common?

Besides breaking out of long-term seemingly perfect relationships – all are Geminis. Geminis have been going through a bit of a rough patch for the past two years with austere Saturn transitting their sector of romance in tandem with control-freak Pluto in their house of emotional intimacy. Moreover, Mars is currently making an extra-long journey through their home sector until July – forcing long-overdue changes in the family structure. A series of eclipses in their relationship houses (the last one at the end of last year) is also shaking things up and pushing bad situations to a breaking point.

Saturn’s transit of the romance sector can make love seem more like work than play. Coupledom may become nothing more than an endless stream of duties and obligations with very little joy to be found. For creative people, especially, the binds of relational responsibilities with little spontaneity or sense of fun could seem too harsh and restrictive to put up with.

Pluto, at the same time, is ratcheting up the drama, and control issues, jealousy, anger, resentment, envy, manipulation, etc, etc have been defining close relationships ever since late 2008. Pluto doesn’t like to back down, and if fights get out of hand, there will be very little desire to compromise, but instead to dig in one’s heels until one gets one’s way – which could wear partners down.

Many Geminis may finally get up the courage to move to better surroundings during Mars’ extended transit of their home sector – although they may rethink the situation and fall into temporary stagnancy when it goes retro from January 23rd until April 13th. This retro period, however, may also give the opportunity to extract oneself, financially and materially, before finally being able to physically move on later this spring.

Khloe Kardashian LOLs at Reports That Her Marriage Is on the Rocks.

Khloe Kardashian and Lamar Odom are doing just fine, thankyouverymuch! On her Twitter, Kardashian has been making fun of a Star magazine cover story that claims she and her NBA player husband are headed for a split.

“Save the drama for your baby mama! LOL,” Kardashian tweeted on Wednesday evening, linking to a GossipCop post that refutes Star‘s allegations. According to the magazine, Lamar made Khloe furious by going to a strip club with his buddies, while Lamar is sick of Khloe “obsessing over” trying to get pregnant — and he’s “super depressed” about his basketball game since being traded to the Houston Mavericks. But GossipCop, who talked to a “Kardashian family insider,” says that it’s all baloney.

“Kardashian and Odom are happy in their marriage, and while it’s true that he hasn’t had the best basketball season, and that she’s had some trouble conceiving, neither of those issues is threatening their relationship,” writes the website. “As for the supposed ‘cheating’ drama, Kardashian went to a strip club with Odom last month, so we’re pretty sure she’s cool with it.”

She’s definitely cool with it, if re-tweeting the story is any indication! Not only is Khloe unbothered by the divorce rumors; she also finds them kind of pathetic.

“It shows you how sick people are,” Khloe, 27, wrote to a Twitter fan on Thursday. “They would rather have pain (than) love… Sad world.”

Earlier this week, Khloe did have a nasty breakup… with PETA. The youngest Kardashian sister quit the animal-rights organization following sister Kim‘s red-carpet flour-bombing by a PETA-affiliated anti-fur activist.

“I will still continue to NOT wear fur, but I will no longer support PETA,” Khloe wrote on her blog. “Bullying and harassment is NEVER a solution, and I won’t be a part of any organization that thinks otherwise.”

We can always count on Khloe to tell us what she really thinks!

Courteney Cox & Her California Cutie.

Cougar Town star Courteney Cox, 47, was photographed on a movie set in Van Nuys, Calif. on Wednesday (March 28). The Friends alum is debuting her directing skills in Lifetime’s Tall Hot Blonde, in which she also stars in.

Supporting her multi-talented mom, 7-year-old Coco visited the sunny set in a stylish sundress. Last weekend, we spotted the pretty pair bonding over a shopping spree in Malibu.

Coco’s father is Courteney’s estranged husband, fellow actor David Arquette.

Has the brunette beauty started dating yet?

“No guy’s asked me out. I’m not saying I’m not ready to have a make-out session, but it just makes me nervous,” Cox said in February. “I don’t like to go out in general.”

Has Clay Aiken been spending too much time with Donald Trump? During his Tuesday visit to Bravo’s Watch What Happens, the normally mild-mannered singer (and current Celebrity Apprentice contestant) dissed Rihanna‘s singing skills. We hope Clay isn’t seriously trying to start a feud — because we’re 99 percent sure Rihanna could take him. Watch the clip below!
Aiken admitted his opinion of Rihanna while playing a particularly revealing round of host Andy Cohen‘s “Plead the Fifth” — in which the guest gets three questions, and they’re allowed to “plead the fifth” on one. When asked which current pop singer wouldn’t cut it on his alma mater American Idol, Aiken took a moment to answer — because he said there were “too many” to choose from!

“Current pop star… I’ve stopped listening to them because they can’t sing,” said Aiken, 33. But rather than plead the fifth, he made his choice.

“Rihanna has some pitch problems, for sure,” he finally said. “Now I’m gonna get in trouble, too.”

Oh, Clay — don’t you know better than to mess with the Rihanna Navy? Better brace yourself for some serious Twitter battles!

Aiken definitely seems to be embracing his bitchy side since joining Trump’s board room, and it’s kind of entertaining. (A recent jab at fellow contestant Aubrey O’Day: “‘Just look at that hair. Aubrey popped right out of her mama’s chatch and started grabbing on to that stripper pole!”) In response to Cohen’s first “Plead the Fifth” question — playing ‘Marry, Screw or Kill’ with the men of American Idol — he was perfectly willing to admit that he’d kill Simon Cowell, screw Ryan Seacrest and marry Randy Jackson.

But was calling out Rihanna for “pitch problems” taking it too far? Really, he was just being honest; as a guy with years of voice lessons under his belt, Aiken probably winces at every off note that the rest of us don’t hear. And unlike some other pop pros in her generation, like Lady Gaga or Beyonce, Rihanna isn’t a perfectionist when it comes to crooning on-key. We’re sure it’s not the first time she’s heard the phrase “pitch problems” thrown her way. On the other hand, is it really a good idea for Aiken to get on Rihanna’s bad side when he’s not exactly topping the charts himself? He could have at least thrown a compliment in there. (“Rihanna has pitch problems, but she sure knows how to wear a thigh-high boot!”)

But Aiken was all about honesty last night — even admitting he had plastic surgery! For his third and final question, when he was well within his rights to “plead the fifth,” he decided to confess that he’d recently gone under the knife.

“I had surgery on my jaw for a TMJ thing and I had them suck the fat out of my chin while they were in there,” he told Cohen. “I was like, you know what, while I’m already down, go ahead and take the vacuum in there and suck the fat out of my chin.”

If only other celebs would be so up-front about their nips and tucks!

Russell Crowe Gets Kicked Out Of A Gym.

The Internet has changed Russell Crowe. In the past, the actor has handled altercations by screaming at BAFTA producers, fighting in Japanese restaurants, and throwing phones at hotel employees. But now, Crowe takes his problems out on Twitter.

Lindsay Lohan Is Free… Kind Of.

Lindsay Lohan is a free woman. The 25-year-old actress appeared in Los Angeles Superior court today, March 29, for the final hearing in her DUI case  — and Judge Sephanie Sautner ended her probation.

Bradley Cooper Dating History: Who’s Next?

When it comes to his personal life, Bradley Cooper is never lacking in female attention. (Being named 2011′s Sexiest Man Alive by People magazine tends to have that affect). But now that reports have emerged of his split with Zoe Saldana, the 37-year-old actor is reportedly single once again and on the prowl for a new girlfriend (volunteers anyone?).

However, in this business, Hollywood stars like Cooper don’t stay available for long and relationship rumors are sure to placate his future. But before any of that can commence, we here at Hollywood.com have decided to try our hand at fortune-telling by predicting the next lucky lady to be Cooper’s number one gal. Fear not, though, we won’t be going into this quest blindly. Let’s have a look at his past relationship preferences to see who best fits the following criteria…

Blonde vs. Brunette
It seems blondes really do have more fun. Based on Cooper’s former flings, he has a tendency to gravitate towards women with lighter hair over those with darker, having previously dated the likes of blonde bombshells: Cameron Diaz, Jennifer Aniston, Renee Zellweger, and Jennifer Esposito, whom he briefly married in Dec. 2006. Sure, there were a few exceptions to the rule (Jennifer Lopez, Zoe Saldana, and Olivia Wilde), but for the most part, he definitely appears to have a thing for blondes.

Media Attention
While some stars like their relationships to stay under the radar, Cooper tends to date women who are well known and highly publicized members of the entertainment realm. And while it’s completely normal for Hollywood stars to get together, Cooper tends to ride first class, cozying up to several A-list celebrities. Since 2009 alone, Cooper has been romantically linked to: Aniston, JLo, Zellweger, Saldana, and Wilde. These are some of the biggest stars in Hollywood (not to mention some of the hottest). This guy’s motto must be: go big or go home.

The Age Factor
Unlike most men who think that younger equals better, the 37-year-old star tends to date women who are a little bit older than himself. JLo, Aniston, and Zellweger were all in their 40s when he dated them and Diaz, whom he dated from 2006-2007, is two years older than him. Of course, you wouldn’t know their real age just by looking at them since these women are absolutely gorgeous, but that’s besides the point. The numbers don’t lie, and Cooper prefers to have his ladies like a fine wine — they only get better with age.

Mixing Business With Pleasure
Many people advise against striking up a romantic relationship in the workplace, but in Hollywood, it’s kind of a standard protocol. And it seems Cooper isn’t opposed to an on-set romance, having worked with Aniston in He’s Just Not That Into You, Zellweger in Case 39, and Saldana/Wilde in The Words. Yes, it’s safe to say this guy would have no problems mixing business with pleasure if the opportunity presented itself again. (Where can I sign up?)

So taking into account all of the information above, we’re predicting that Cooper’s next big love affair will be with (drum roll please) — Charlize Theron. She’s gorgeous (note the blonde hair), age appropriate (she’ll be 37 this August), and a major A-list star who’s actually gearing up for a blockbuster hit this summer in Snow White and the Huntsman, in which she plays the Evil Queen. She would be the perfect match for Cooper in almost every way.

Kim K suing flour bomber, Khloe quits PETA.

Did you get that little glimmer of hope that Kim Kardashian was a real person after seeing her “dust off” the whole red carpet flour bomb? You didn’t honestly expect her to be that cool, did you?!

Well if ya’ did, sorry to bust your bubble! The pre-Madonna is now taking the flour-bomber to court, and while PETA says they have no affiliation with the woman, it’s the one thing in the world that little/big sister Khloe Kardashian isn’t buying!

Khloe jumped on her blog, posting that she was dropping PETA from the list of non-profits she supports… because PETA wouldn’t admit the sneaky little flour-bomber was a part of their animal loving organization.

Probably better to see Khloe wearing anything than nothing at all!

For people who spend every day preparing for disaster — whether it’s a 2012 apocalypse, a nuclear meltdown, an economic collapse, a hurricane or a tsunami — it can be hard to find a compatible partner.

Canning venison, shooting firearms, living off the grid and creating manure from human waste just aren’t traditional interests many people look for when browsing mainstream dating sites .

That’s why a site called Survivalist Singles has entered the online dating scene, catering specifically to this niche community of “preppers,” “survivalists” and “doomsdayers.”

Survivalist Singles, which officially launched in 2010, boasts the slogan, “Don’t face the future alone.” Its ranks are growing — quadrupling to about 1,640 members from around 400 at the end of 2010.

Members of the site range widely in their doomsday beliefs, said Andrea Burke, a 45-year-old middle school art teacher from Montana who took over the site from its previous owner last summer.

“Most will agree that something is brewing that may change life as we know it, whether it be a collapse of the economy, an EMP (electromagnetic pulse) or other natural or government disaster,” Burke said.

The site is free for now, but Burke is planning to charge a $5 monthly membership fee so she can generate income from her project. She is considering using a slogan like, “Find love for less than the price of a box of bullets” to draw in paying members.

For female preppers interested in finding a man, the site is a dating goldmine. There are currently about two men for every woman on the site (which is a big disparity compared to a site like Match.com, where there’s a roughly even split), and the average member is over 50.

The most popular book among members is James Wesley Rawles’ “Patriots,” about a group of Christians who must survive an economic meltdown that throws the country into complete chaos and leads to a second civil war. “SHTF” (When s*** hits the fan) and “TEOTWAWKI” (The end of the world as we know it) are common acronyms members include on their profiles, said Burke.

One user, who goes by the screenname Mtexplorer2 but preferred that his real name not be used, said he tried many mainstream dating sites but was always turned down by potential matches as soon as they found out he was a survivalist. Survivalist Singles lets him put everything out in the open, he said, and women only contact him if they have similar beliefs or appreciate his lifestyle.

“It’s hard to connect with someone who doesn’t have a similar mindset. You can’t explain why your truck is packed like you’re always ready for an expedition — they don’t get it,” he said. “But when you meet another survivalist, you start talking about all this stuff and the women look at you like you have a million dollars in the bank.”

His profile lists many conventional hobbies and interests like hiking, camping and eating Mexican food. But it also mentions his “extensive background with firearms for defense and hunting.” And that he has an alternative water source, likes to go to thrift stores to find gadgets that don’t use electricity, and cans venison so he’ll have meat “if the grid goes down and there are no freezers.”

His idea of an attractive woman is someone who is physically fit and loves the outdoors. “I’m not looking for someone wearing a designer dress and purse — I want someone who looks wholesome, and a woman wearing a backpack in her profile picture is an automatic 10,” he said.

Because he lives in the mountains of Montana, distance has been a problem. He has met only one woman face-to-face out of more than 20 he has corresponded with on the site. After she visited him in Montana, they decided to just remain friends.

Distance is one of several issues cited by another member, Larissa Kama, 42, who goes by the screenname nwredhead. Kama has a “bug-out bag” full of gear near her front door in case disaster strikes, but she considers herself less “hardcore” than many of the men she has encountered on the site.

“I’ve come across a lot of freaks who live in a hole in the ground, who message me and say, ‘Run, run to me — I’m a mile underground in the middle of Nebraska,” said Kama, who lives in Portland, Ore. “I don’t want to hide down in a bunker for the rest of my life. I’m really okay with the outside world — we’re not facing any end-of-world scenario yet, so I want to live in this moment.”

Some members, though, have already found love on the site. Nate Tammaro, whose screenname was Iron Ranger, found his soul mate, or “twin flame,” only two days after joining Survivalist Singles. They live six hours away from each other so they have only met in person twice, but Tammaro plans to move to Missouri to be with her this summer.

“When we met, we immediately knew there was no one else for us — it was the sentence-finishing type of love,” said Tammaro. The relationship has changed his outlook on prepping: Tammaro now believes his calling is to help others find their way once the “end of the world as we know it” arrives. “I’m optimistic about the future now that I’ve found love,” he said.

Others on the site aren’t just looking for love. A 44-year-old female user with the screenname Arnold, for example, states on her profile that she is looking for a survival group in addition to a man. One skill she would bring to the table, she noted, is making “humanure.” This involves converting human excrement into fertilizer — which may be necessary in case a disaster strikes and there is no running water.

Aside from Survivalist Singles, several other dating sites are popping up for preppers. PrepperDating.com was started last year and has about 70 members. And Kwink.com, a site that lets singles join niche dating communities, like “health nuts” and “Jesus freaks” is also advertising a community for “doomsday preppers” and “doomsdayers.”

“Spend your remaining days with someone that shares your instinct to prepare and survive the end of the world as we know it,” Kwink’s site says. “Don’t use those generic dating sites that can’t cater to your core trait. The Doomsday dating community is your place to connect, share and grow with similar people.”
