Pretty much everything about the world of Kourtney Kardashian is fake, from her fights with Scott Disick to her involvement in Dash NYC.
Therefore, it's only appropriate for the realty vixen to appear on a show that's all about trumped-up feuds and poor acting. That's right, Kourtney is coming to daytime television!
Kardashian will guest star on a March episode of One Life to Live, sources confirm, appearing in scenes David Fumero and Kassie DePaiva. She will not be portraying herself on the series.
"I grew up watching One Life to Live," Kourtney lied said. "I hear I get into some trouble and I am looking forward to it. This may be my acting debut, but the Kardashians know a thing or two about drama."
Shooting on the episode will take place this week. Don't worry, it will all be captured for an installment of Kourtney and Kim Take New York.
Demi Lovato
"Demi is not in treatment for drugs. She is there to deal with emotional and physical issues she's been battling her whole life."
These are the words of family friend, shooting down recent rumors that Demi Lovato entered a rehab facility due to a problem with cocaine and alcohol.
So, is there a specific issue that forced this young singer to leave her Sorth American tour and seek help? Possibly, reports Star MagazineIn July, an aspiring musician named David Osborn died in a tubing accident. An insider claims Lovato had grown close to the rocker, who she met at a mutual friend's party in December. Soon after his passing, Demi Tweeted:
"Can't wait to see you again in heaven... Texas isn't the same without you... RIP Dave Osborn."
While it's possible the death of a loved one played a role in Demi's demise - which culminated in a physical confrontation with a backup dancer in Peru - the same source that denies this troubled star used drugs also tells People her downfall was related to a lot more than just one incident.
"This is a girl with emotional problems who has been fighting demons her whole life... She is determined to get better."
Will Bristol Palin make the finals on Dancing With the Stars? Don't count her out, the way she's been improving people have inexplicably been voting.
Week after week, Palin has landed at the bottom of the scoreboard, but week in and week out, a far superior dancer packs his or her bags instead.
With only four couples left, there's a fair chance Bristol the Pistol ends up in the finals. What is it about Sarah Palin's daughter that keeps her on?"Bristol Palin is somebody I think most of Middle America and regular people can relate to," judge Carrie Ann Inaba said. "She's a regular girl with normal problems and normal issues. I think a lot of people look at her and see themselves."
A lot of people look at the daughter of a major political figure, who's only famous for getting pregnant as a teenager, and see themselves? Eh, we'll buy it.
"I think the Bristol Palin conspiracy phenomenon," Inaba said. "I feel like she's very relatable to the average person. She's non-pretentious, very relaxed."
Will mediocre dance moves and overwhelming fan support carry her into the finale November 23? Who are YOU rooting for on Dancing With the Stars?
Spencer Pratt
The Inland Empire (I.E.), colloquially known as the IE, is a metropolitan area centered around the cities of Riverside and San Bernardino in Southern California.
This region east of Los Angeles is also the site of Spencer Pratt's new reality show, Inland Empire 909, which you will likely never see on any television station.
Obsessed with Jersey Shore since its premiere, which also coincided with his own decline in relevance, Spencer is desperately trying to cash in on the concept.WANNABE PRODUCER: Ha. All Spencer produces is laughter. Which we certainly appreciate, but that's not his intent. [Photo: PacificCoastNewsOnline.com]
Now an unemployed filmmaker, Spencer Pratt gushed to Radar about his new reality show, which he'll be "shopping to the networks in the coming weeks.”
“These girls will eat the cast of Jersey Shore alive,” said the former Hills villain. “They will keep it real and not say they are only that way for a show.”
“To be honest, I'm scared of the entire cast. Lauren from 909 is younger and more wild then J-Woww and they fight for real every single night.”
The Inland Empire 909 trailer begins on a black screen, then states the absurd number of viewers (4.8 million) that watched the Jersey Shore finale.
909 then promises a “younger and sexier” cast.
“They are the next level of reality TV. Where Jersey Shore and the East Coast has Snooki, the West Coast has T-BONE aka Tayrn, tearing it UP!" Mr. Heidi Montag boasts. ”The 909 is untapped, reality TV gold audiences have been waiting for.”
The 909 trailer shows troubled cast members barbequing and discussing sex, fights, partying and more. One guy reveals his stomach. Real original.
At least his quote-unquote feature film, Tower 69: Malibu Beach Patrol Featuring 3-D Boobs, was his own idea. A hilariously bad one, but his own.
For Vera Farmiga, who opted not to find out the sex of her second child until he/she was born, its gender is no longer Up In the Air. It's a girl!
The Academy Award-nominated actress and husband Renn Hawkey welcomed their second child last week, her rep tells People exclusively.
Daughter Gytta Lubov Hawkey joins big brother Fynn, 22 months, and is "happy and healthy" along with her mother. Congratulations to all! It's a girl for Vera Farmiga and Renn Hawkey
Reeling from the loss of their teenage son and a slew of sordid tabloid rumors, John Travolta and Kelly Preston are looking forward to the most joyous of moments. The final countdown to the birth of their new baby, a boy, is underway.
“I can’t wait to meet Benjamin,” Travolta told Extra. John, Kelly and daughter Ella.
That might happen sooner than he planned. Confirming Preston’s due date is Nov. 26, Travolta revealed his wife, 48, has had some dicey moments lately.
Even though he’s in Australia to celebrate the 90th Anniversary of Qantas Airways, he’s ready to rush home at a moment's notice for the big moment.
“When I left, she was having what they call Braxton Hicks, the fake labor, and we were both a little worried,” Travolta, 56, says. “But then the doctor said to drink more water, more liquids and that stops that.”
“I think she just had a little talk with Ben and said, ‘Look, let’s wait till Dad comes home and deliver then,’” Travolta adds. “But I’m ready to go at any minute. If she started having labor now we would leave and take 22 hours to get home, but I’ll get there.”
The actor also revealed the family, including daughter Ella Bleu, 10, will spend the holidays on the east coast, heading “up to Maine for Christmas.”
Note to THG readers: while it may seem as though the following story is too ludicrous to be real, every word is as depressingly true as Angelina Pivarnick's attempt to rap is hilariously awful. Consider yourself warned.
On January 10, Teresa Giudice will host a seminar in New York City that will "teach women how to have it all," according to a press release.
If plan on paying for advice from Teresa Giudice, go find a toilet, drop bills into it and press flush. It will take less time and be equally worthwhile.
In a blurb hyping the event, scheduled for the Learning Annex in midtown Manhattan, Giudice is described as a "hero to modern women” who manages to “make time to make homemade meals” despite her schedule.
We repeat: we are NOT making this up.
It will cost people who seriously need to re-evaluate their lives fans $44.95 to attend.
“Whether you want to get on a reality TV show, write a book, start and run a business, change careers, this inspiring evening with a woman who has 377,000 online followers will get you going in the right direction,” the blurb reads. “Teresa will talk about marketing yourself, dealing with difficult people, working with the press, and she will share juicy details about what goes on behind the scenes of the Real Housewives of New Jersey.”
In news that some may consider relevant to this "hero," Teresa recently got into a blowout with her brother, is millions of dollars in debt and stands accused of hiding assets from the government.
Reflecting on why she's the way she is, Taylor Momsen blames her folks for robbing her of a healthy childhood, insisting they're the reason she's so miserable.
The Gossip Girl star, model and lead singer of The Pretty Reckless said, "Everyone's like, 'Wow, why is she upset and why is she so miserable about things?'"
"My parents signed me up with Ford [modeling agency] at the age of two," she lamented. "No two-year-old wants to be working, but I had no choice."
SAD GOTHIC BARBIE: It's Taylor Momsen's parents' fault!!!
The 17-year-old continued, "My whole life, I was in and out of school. I didn't have any friends. I was working constantly and I didn't have a real life."
Poor thing.
Don't get us wrong, it starts with upbringing. But it's hard to imagine her parents are pleased with - or responsible for - Taylor Momsen topless concert appearances or magazine shoots with guns and lingerie. That's on you, T.

On November 19, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows will hit theaters around the nation. While readers continue to watch that movie's official trailer on THG, the stars of this beloved franchise hit the red carpet this week for a premiere in London.Said Daniel Radcliffe at the event:
“It is a very strange sensation for it to suddenly be drawing to a close... It was emotional, there was a lot of tears were shed... [but] while we will miss it, and we loved it, we are all ready to move on.”
Click on the following photos of Radcliffe, Emma Watson and Rupert Grint for enlarged images of the trio at the Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows premiere. What a mature, grounded, talented group of young stars!

David Archuleta
In a new interview, David Archuleta opens up on a number of topics. Among them:
* He has "never been in a relationship."
* He'd consider an appearance on Glee.
* He's excited to turn 20.
Below, we've excerpted a number of quotes from this adorable singer and his conversation with Pop Eater:
On what he wants for Christmas: To be able to give back, that's where the most, the greatest, the best feelings are, even if it's just a visit to show you care about people. That's what the Christmas spirit is about: caring about other people.
On what he looks for in a mate: Someone who cares about other people, who has good values and has respect for themselves [is what matters]. It's so important for girls to respect themselves and not put themselves down and say, "Oh, my life is horrible," and "I'm not pretty enough." How do you know? There's this energy people give off that people can be drawn to.
I don't think people ever really know what they're "looking for." Love is something that just surprises people. It catches you off guard. It's never really what you're expecting.
On turning 20: I'm excited because now you feel like you hold new responsibilities. You're a step away from being a kid and being viewed as a kid. Usually, people have certain perceptions of teenagers... Now, leaving that phase and focusing on being an adult is exciting. I mean, 20 is not 21 yet, so I still feel like I'm kind of a kid, but I look forward to maturing and the new experiences that await next year.
Would he guest star on Glee? It would be cool to make an appearance on it because it's a fun show. It gets all these geeks who love music. I think that's great. That's the category I was in. I wasn't the most athletic person. I didn't really fit in anywhere. Even the people who were in music, they were very good [and] technically musical, so I didn't feel like I'd fit in with them. I just loved music and how it made me feel.
Farrah Abraham Denies Child Abuse Claims
Amid claims she left Sophia at day care for 12 hours a day and up to seven times a week, she defiantly declared Friday: "I would never forget my daughter."
Childcare worker Brittney Scheer, a licensed provider in Council Bluffs, Iowa, says Farrah walked in, "showed me the diaper bag and went out the doorBusy as she is, Farrah feels she's a model single parent.
"I'd have Sophia all day, every day," Scheer said. "Farrah left the baby with me to run errands and shoot MTV. Sometimes she'd forget to come get her."
Farrah Abraham, who's fighting for control of Sophia with the family of her late boyfriend, Derek Underwood, says in an interview that this is baloney.
Asked why Scheer would lie, Farrah answered "to use Sophia to make money from that magazine ... it's really sad that somebody would use a child."
Defending her lifestyle and parenting decisions, she says, "I don't know how I would EVER forget my daughter. I love her and she's all I think about."
According to Scheer, Sophia's development seems worryingly slow and she couldn't walk. Farrah says she can, and has been for about nine months.
Noting that Brittney hasn't seen Sophia in months, Abraham calls her daughter "a nice child" who "knows her manners and is friendly with others."
As for life as a single mom, she admits "It's VERY difficult. The first time I had to drop Sophia off at my grandparents' house, I cried. It tears you apart."
"I'm always very concerned and looking out for her, also, I just want to say that she always has clean clothes, food and has everything she needs."
"The only time I use a babysitter right now is when my mom or grandmother can't watch Sophia, when I'm at school or working I have to use a babysitter for a few hours sometimes. I have responsibilities and I'm a single parent."
So there. Take that, Stormie Clark!

Collin and Alexis Gosselin: Expelled From Private School For "Rage Issues"
They are now being homeschooled, a source close to the situation says. Great, so now the wire-haired control freak gets even MORE face time with them.
"They've fought with their peers, called them nasty names and made fun of other kids," a source told In Touch Weekly, which first reported their expulsion.Simpler times.
"Collin had such bad issues that he refused to get his picture taken at school. He's tired of being on-camera," a witness says of the troubled sextuplet.
Others have come to the pair's defense, claiming that despite reports of violence and bullying, they are not behaving as badly as has been reported.
"The situation is being grossly overstated," a source says.
"The kids are going through a very challenging time, but Kate doesn't feel this is something that should be discussed publicly. It is a private matter."
With the divorce, Kate has acknowledged that the children have had difficult moments, but says in general, they are "amazing, resilient, loving kids."
Their dad begs to differ, at least as far as how well-adjusted they are. Jon lashed out at Kate for continuing to keep the kids on television, claiming the exposure gives them behavioral and emotional problems at school and beyond.
Basically, he's a deadbeat and Kate's a child abuser. Those therapy bills are going to start piling up really, really fast.
