Reality TV star Bristol Palin, who competed on “Dancing with the Stars” in 2010, is looking forward to slipping on her dancing shoes again on the all-star edition, which kicks off Sept. 24, 2012.
Palin, who made headlines for being the only “DWTS” contestant to gain weight during the grueling reality TV competition, vows not to let the same thing happen this time around.
“My goal [is] not to gain any weight,” the single mom told People. “I think it’s hurtful for any girl when someone’s criticizing their weight on a national level. It’s an awkward position.”
Bristol, 21, famously got involved in a bitter celebrity feud after she slammed size-two comedian Kathy Griffin, 51, for calling her fat.
In December 2010, Kathy joked: “[Bristol is] the only contestant in the history of the show to actually gain weight. She gained like 30 pounds a week. I swear to God, it was fantastic; she’s like the white ‘Precious.’ “
In response, Bristol mocked Kathy’s many plastic surgeries. “I don’t think that stuff’s funny at all, just very strange,” said Palin. “It’s weird, also, that she would pick on my weight. She’s had botched liposuction procedures and stuff like that.”
Despite slamming Griffin for her cosmetic enhancements (which Kathy has spoken openly about), Bristol followed up months later by getting chin liposuction and jaw surgery to make her face slimmer.
Palin, who reached the finals and finished in third place on season 11 of “Dancing with the Stars,” says she’ll try her best this time, regardless of the outcome.
“If I get voted off week one, then I get voted off week one,” she says. “Hopefully I stick in there longer.”
Amy Childs is thrilled to have found a boyfriend who can cook.
The reality TV star is dating former ‘Take Me Out’ contestant David Peters and says he has rescued her from a life of junk food.
She said: "my mum and dad are very pleased for me as I’ve managed to find a boyfriend who can cook! I can’t cook at all – I can just about make toast. my mum has always joked that I would live on Domino’s pizzas if I ever moved out as I don’t have a clue when it comes to cooking. last week, David cooked a lovely Mexican meal for my family.
"he made us nachos to start and then chicken fajitas, and I have to say it tasted amazing. Mum said he can cook for us more often!"
Amy also revealed her boyfriend loves spending time in her salon.
She wrote in her column for new! magazine: "I’ve got a little helper in David! he loves coming along to the salon, and he makes sure all the customers are OK and takes pictures if they ask. the salon is doing really well. "
After adamantly denying reports of her relapse, Kelly Osbourne is setting the record straight:
“I got drunk on the plane to Atlanta,” the Fashion Police judge admitted to RadarOnline. “The only reason I’m being so honest…is because I don’t think it’s fair for me to lie. I’m not going to say I didn’t do something when I did it.”
What caused Osbourne to fall off the wagon?
The TV star — who has most recently been to rehab in 2009 for a painkiller addiction — broke down over her brother Jack’s recent Multiple Sclerosis diagnosis. “Before I got on the plane, a gentleman came up to me and asked me how my brother was doing and told me about his brother having MS and directed me towards a website,” Osbourne explained. “The website…described how bad certain cases of MS got, and it made me lose it because I’ve sat through my mother having breast cancer, my dad almost dying from a bike accident, and now it’s my brother who’s my best friend.”
It was all too much for Osbourne, 27, to bear. “I had a moment of just is this really happening to me all over again?” she said. “And unfortunately it was in front of everyone.”
But Osbourne confessed the incident wasn’t the first time she has indulged in alcohol post-rehab. “I have the occasional drink,” she said. “I will never lie about that. That’s my choice that I make and I’m an adult and I have to be responsible for my actions.”
The only way is Essex star Lauren Goodger thinks that the reality TV show has tarred everyone in Essex with the same brush.
The bronzed 25-year-old visited Chelmsford for the first time on Thursday, to launch her new tanning product, Lauren’s way.
And although only 20 fans queued up to meet her, the reality TV star told the Chronicle that she was happy with how the promotion at Debenhams had gone.
“I think today has been really good and this is my first time in Chelmsford,” she said.
“I think that the people of Essex love to wear fake-tan, but I think a lot of people use sunbeds, which isn’t good.
“Using a fake-tan is much better because sunbeds aren’t good for your skin.
“I want to get more people off sunbeds and I really believe in my product – it doesn’t make you look orange.
“I like to have a natural glow and you can do that with Lauren’s way – there are seven different bottles.
“If you look around the area, everyone has a tan but that doesn’t mean that everyone is over-the-top. I’m not for promoting plastic surgery or using sunbeds. Fake tan is a better way of making yourself look tanned and I fake-tan once every two weeks.”
Lauren’s launch at Romford, at 1pm on Wednesday, fell flat with only nine fans stopping.
“I think it was down to bad promotion,” Lauren said. “I have done launches before for other products and have had hundreds of people turn up. It was also a case of bad timing.
“I definitely think that Towie has changed the country’s opinion of people in Essex. I think that especially people in small towns up north think that everyone is like they appear on the show.
“It’s not something normal to them. But just because you come from Essex doesn’t mean that you are like that. Everyone is different and although I think the show makes viewers interested, not everyone is like that.”
Shean Marchington, 17, a student from Chelmsford, said: “I really like Lauren and wanted to come down to see her today. I think that everyone uses fake-tan in Essex and I think it’s because everyone looks better tanned.
“I don’t think that the show has given us a different image; I think that we already had the stereotype it promotes and I don’t think it’s a bad image.”
Khloé Kardashian despairs at girls who have surgery “too young”.
The 27-year-old reality TV star has a refreshing attitude when it comes to embracing her natural beauty. Khloé doesn’t understand the obsession women have with changing their looks – especially when they resort to having cosmetic surgery when they’re barely old enough.
“Right now I haven’t, but I’m not against plastic surgery. I just haven’t had a desire to do anything yet. I definitely see people who have gone too far, or who started too young,” she shared with British magazine more!
“When I was in high school, girls were getting their noses done all the time. People would ask me if I was going to and I thought, ‘My face hasn’t even formed completely yet!’”
Khloé is married to sports star Lamar Odom. The brunette star – who has made no secret of her body issues in the past – says her beau makes her feel body confident.
“I’m lucky – I have a wonderful husband who tells me I’m beautiful all the time,” she smiled.
32 Yr old Reality TV Star, Kim Kardashian is threatening to sue a Mexican Doctor who used her image to promote plastic surgery in Mexico.
Dr. Victor Ramirez had put up a billboard in Mexicali showing Kim reclining on a sunbed in a bikini accompanied with the slogan ‘No arriesgue su belleza, ni su salud’, which translates as ‘Don’t risk your beauty or your health’ – a bid to encourage people to visit a professional plastic surgeon instead of an unsafe one.
When Dr Ramirez was contacted by TMZ.com and asked if he had sought Kim’s permission before using the picture, he replied: ‘obviously I did not speak to Kim Kardashian. I do not have her number.’
Kim has always strongly denied ever having had plastic surgery, and even underwent an X-ray of her bottom on a previous episode of Keeping up with The Kardashians to prove she had not had implants.
Although the most famous of the Kardashian sisters said that is not against plastic surgery if clear in the program that was invited, who has not practiced any of them.But I found that on several occasions resorted to Botox to rejuvenatey our skin and some wrinkles disappear. ”I’m not totally against plastic surgery,” she explained, ”I tried to use botox before, that’s all I’ve done.” ”I never had any surgery on my nose, in fact,” said Kim who claim has been practiced several surgeries on her face.
The 29 year old said she has often wanted to do something with her nose if she does not like, but when the doctor has shown how she would repent, for she knows that ultimately she will not like the results .
The TV star said that no parts of her face has turned to Botox but was told on several occasions. She also denied having breast surgery.
Reality star Bethenny Frankel said on the “Today” show Monday she had recently suffered a miscarriage.
When asked about her and husband Jason Hoppy’s plans to expand their family (the pair are already parents to Bryn, 21 months), the “Bethenny Ever After” star responded, choking back tear, “We were pregnant with a second baby. and at eight weeks, I miscarried.”
The 41-year-old TV star said she has been struggling to make sense of the tragedy. “There are so many … things that come with (miscarrying),” Frankel said. “You go through a roller coaster of emotions. … About your age, about being a woman, about, can you have another baby, are you a failure to your partner? You go through a million different things.”
The Bravo star says she’s trying to keep things in perspective by taking the time to appreciate Bryn. “I do have an incredible daughter,” she said. “I have the most beautiful daughter in the world. and I’m grateful for her.” she added, “I honestly, truthfully, have thought about other woman more than myself … the first thing I thought about was, ‘Oh my god, I can’t believe what people must go through if they can’t even have the one.’ I’m really lucky.”
ADELE’S MAD AT DAD: Adele has vowed to spit in her estranged father Mark Evans’ face if she ever sees him again. she says she’s furious with him for selling an interview to a British tabloid in which he discussed his split from her mother.
In an interview with Vogue, Adele fumes, “I was actually ready to start trying to have a relationship with him. He’s (expletive) blown it. He will never hear from me again. because there is nothing that would upset me more than my dad being bribed by the press. It’s like, ‘Just let them run it, then. Don’t you give them ammunition.’”
THE 1 PERCENTERS ALWAYS WIN: during her birthday weekend in Las Vegas, Paris Hilton won $30,000 while playing blackjack at Wynn Las Vegas.
Hilton tweeted about the big win, writing” “#BirthdayGirlsLuck. I love gambling.”
That would apparently explain most of the men she’s dated.
On Saturday Hilton, who turned 31 on Friday, continued the birthday celebration at XS Nightclub with sister Nicky Hilton and her parents.
Also along for the party: Hilton’s rumored boyfriend, Afrojack, who played deejay at the bash. Donning a silver cocktail dress, Hilton partied at her table inside the club, but continually went to the outdoor deejay booth where Afrojack was spinning.
COLBERT BACK ON THE AIR: Stephen Colbert is returning to TV, reports said Monday.
After new episodes of Colbert’s “The Colbert Report” were suspended last week, reportedly because of a his 91-year-old mother’s failing health, the Comedy Central late-night show is returning to TV starting Monday, with a guest lineup that includes Nancy Pelosi, the minority leader of the House of Representatives.
“My family and I would like to thank everyone who has offered their thoughts and prayers,” Colbert, 47, tweeted. “We are grateful and touched by your concern.”
A rep for Comedy Central told E! Online that production was suspended “due to unforeseen circumstances,” but reports have suggested that Colbert took a break from filming because his 91-year-old mother Lorna is “seriously ill.”
New episodes of the show are scheduled to air all week.
WHITNEY HOUSTON FAMILY WANTS HER DAUGHTER IN REHAB: Bobbi Kristina Houston caused a stir when she allegedly slipped away after her mother Whitney Houston’s funeral on Saturday, and now, reports say, her family wants her in rehab.
Reports said Bobbi Kristina became upset when the presence of her father Bobby Brown caused a stir at the funeral.
A family spokesman denied the teen was found using drugs and told the Daily Beast website she “needed some time alone.” but the Daily Beast reported that friends said they expected Bobbi Kristina to fly to a California rehab facility after memorial services for her mother ended.
It was not clear Monday whether Bobbi Kristina had yet gone to the rehab center.
The family friend said loved ones “have been trying to keep her straight even before Whitney passed. but losing your mother and the life you’re accustomed to all in one day is enough to send anybody off the deep end.”
Bobbi Kristina entered rehab for a drug problem early last year, The Daily Beast reported.
Meanwhile, Aretha Franklin is denying reports she skipped Whitney Houston’s funeral because of a falling out with the singer’s mother.
The Queen of Soul, who was Whitney Houston’s godmother, said she missed the service after suffering leg spasms.
Franklin’s spokeswoman denied Franklin missed Whitney Houston’s funeral on Saturday because she angered the late R&B legend’s mother, Cissy Houston, with comments she made during a “Today” show interview on Friday.
Franklin said in the “Today” interview she had seen a recent video of Houston, “and she looked fresh, she looked healthy and she looked gorgeous. and I thought, ‘Yes, she has conquered her challenges and she’s on the way.’” she also said she expected Bobby Brown to “step up” and assume responsibility for the care of Bobbi Kristina.
The New York Daily News said Franklin seemed physically fine when she performed the second of two sold out concerts at Radio City Music Hall on Saturday. The newspaper said that Franklin, who paid tribute to Houston during her concert, was also feeling well enough to entertain 40 of her friends at the Ritz Carlton hotel in Manhattan after Saturday’s show.
JUDI DENCH — I’M NOT GOING BLIND: You can count us as among the people who does not want Judi Dench angry with us. So we will dutifully report that Dench came out swinging Monday against Internet reports that said she’s going blind. The reports emanated from a newspaper interview and went viral on the Internet over the weekend.
“In response to the numerous articles in the media concerning my eye condition — macular degeneration — I do not wish for this to be overblown,” the actress told Reuters in a statement.
“This condition is something that thousands and thousands of people all over the world are having to contend with,” she said. “It’s something that I have learned to cope with and adapt to — and it will not lead to blindness.”
Dench, 77, told Britain’s Daily Mirror in an interview that macular degeneration causes her central vision to become blurry, though her peripheral sight is unaffected.
But — and this hardly ever happens on the Internet — websites transformed the comments into stories that claimed the famed actress’ career was jeopardized by impending blindness.
In the interview, the Oscar winner spoke of not being able to properly read scripts or see the faces of people she was dining with, citing her failing eyesight.
“You get used to it,” she said. “I can do a crossword if it’s bright sunshine, but if a cloud comes out, the next minutes I can’t see anything.”
Dench says her comments were taken out of context and emphasized she has no plans to end her career.
The actress is in the latest James Bond film, “Skyfall,” reprising her role as spy chief M.
“As long as there is a possibility of working, I’m not going to retire,” Dench told the Mirror. “If I retire, nothing will work anymore, and it’s hard enough as it is.”
PRINCE OF MONACO HOSPITALIZED AFTER BAR FIGHT: The grandson of the late Princess Grace of Monaco was briefly hospitalized after a brawl in a New York City nightclub.
Prince Pierre Casiraghi suffered cuts to his face during Saturday’s brawl. former nightclub owner Adam Hock was arraigned Sunday on charges of assaulting the prince and three friends at the Double seven nightspot in Manhattan’s Meatpacking District.
Attorney Richard Golub, who represents the 24-year-old prince, told the Associated Press that Casiraghi was treated at a hospital and released after the brawl.
Golub says Casiraghi’s group did not “instigate anything” or provoke the attack.
But Hock told the New York Post that the prince and his entourage “were being completely obnoxious,” verbally abusing the women with him. Also punched in the melee was shipping heir Stavros Niarchos III.
The New York Post reported that while partying in Manhattan’s trendy Meatpacking District on Saturday, the royal clashed with Hock, who was charged with eight counts of third-degree assault for the alleged attacks on the prince and his entourage, the New York Post reports.
“Pierre’s face looked broken, with deep cuts and blood everywhere,” a witness told the newspaper after the fight. “He looked like he needed plastic surgery.”
“I was defending myself and others,” Hock said at his arraignment Sunday in Manhattan Criminal Court.
And Hock’s attorney, Sal Strazullo, told People magazine’s website: “How could my client be accused of attacking four men? These four men attacked my client and his friends at this restaurant/lounge, and in self-defense my client defended himself and others, which under law is something he has a right to do.”
Officials in Monaco declined to discuss the alleged altercation.
Hock was released on his own recognizance but is due back in court on March 29, according to the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office, and Casiraghi was released Saturday from New York Presbyterian/Weill Cornell Medical Center.

Last month The Only way is Essex star Lauren Pope confirmed that she is one of the 40,000 women in the UK who have received the implants by French company Poly Implant Prostheses (PIP), which following legal proceedings, has now been shut down.
The 29 year old DJ and reality TV star chose to visit one of the UK’s leading cosmetic surgery providers MYA Cosmetic Surgery to research having her PIP implants removed and replaced. this is not the first time Lauren has visited MYA. In June last year she had a Rhinoplasty, commonly known as a nose job, with MYA to remove the bump at the top of her nose. pleased with the results, Lauren tweeted “Hey guys! Just to let u know it is true I did get a nose job the other day by @MYA_Tweet and I am over the moon with the outcome!”
The filming took place last week at one of MYA’s London clinics where TOWIE’s Chloe Sims joined Lauren during her consultation with cosmetic surgeon Mario Russo. Lauren discussed with the surgeon that as well as wanting her PIP implants removed she wanted to change the shape and size of her breasts. “The benefit of having them removed is that I can change what I currently don’t like about my first boob job.”
Lauren Pope is not the only TOWIE cast member to have visited MYA Cosmetic Surgery. Stars of the reality TV show Lauren Goodger and Kirk Norcross have both had nose surgery with MYA, whilst Lauren’s sister, Nicola Goodger who also stars in the show, had a Breast Enlargement. The stars are also huge fans of MYA’s Advanced Beauty Treatments and ex TOWIE cast member, Maria Fowler is a regular at the MYA clinic in London.
The reality TV show, which first aired in October 2010, may have contributed to the boom in cosmetic surgery enquiries that have been made in Essex this year. In January 2012 MYA Cosmetic Surgery saw a 150% increase in enquiries from the Essex region compared to January 2011.
The most popular procedures people in Essex are enquiring about are:
Breast Surgery which makes up 66% of all enquiries.
Nose Reshaping which makes up 10% of all enquiries.
Liposuction which makes up 10% of all enquiries.
The remainder of enquiries made also included various Non-Surgical treatments as well as Buttock Implants.
She spent tens of thousands of dollars on cosmetic surgery to make her face and body the picture of perfection.
But even Heidi Montag needs a splash of mascara or lip gloss just like the rest of us when we’re facing the world and the cameras.
The reality TV star was in Los Angeles yesterday looking very fresh-faced as she left a petrol station.
Fresh-faced: Heidi Montag tries to hide her blotchy and pale skin as she stepped out in LA yesterday
Her blonde hair was tied back from her make-up free face which sported a few blotches and looked a bit pale.
Although that might have been due to her baulking at the cameras as she and Pratt made their way back to their car.
She still managed to keep her bling going though as she flashed an expensive watch and diamond earrings.
Something to hide, Heidi? the reality TV star puts her hand up to her face as soon as she spots the cameras
Heidi is known for her love of plastic surgery which has tranformed her looks over the past couple of years.
She spent $30,000 on ten operations including breast implants which boosted them to DDDs, a brow lift, a nose job revision, liposuction on her stomach and thighs, a bottom augmentation, her ears pinned back and her chin reduced.
Letting himself go: Heidi’s husband Spencer Pratt looked like he’d gained a few pounds, his protruding belly clear to see under his polo shirt
Quick, to the car! Heidi and Spencer looked like they were in a bit of hurry as they dashed past the cameras
She also claimed last week to have recently shed 27 pounds by spending 14 hours a day to transform her figure.
I’vebeen working out really hard because I had this pool party and I was like, I have to be in shape,’ she revealed to Us Magazine.
Spencer, 28, once a lean and fit young man, not only looked ten years older – despite his baby face – butalso looked like he hadn’t been to the gym for a while.
The $30,000 body: Heidi showed off the result of all her cosmetic surgery operations last summer
Wearing a light blue polo shirt, his protruding belly was clear to see underneath as he carried a couple of water bottles.
The couple have fallen from grace in the last year or so, after being among the biggest reality TVs tars in the States.
Spencer, 28, is now a studious undergraduate and has enrolled in a political science degree at the University of Southern California but she still very much has her finger on the Hollywood pulse and is still seen mingling with the celebrities at star-studded parties.
