Jessica Simpson is hot!!!!!!!!!!!????????
In an exclusive interview with PEOPLE Wednesday, Kardashian, 28, said, "Call me crazy, but when I saw the picture of Simpson performing Jan. 25 in Pembroke Pines, Fla. I was like, 'Oh my God, Jessica looks hot!' "Kardashian, whose E! reality show Keeping Up with the Kardashians returns in March, says she has no issues whatsoever with Simpson's outfit, which many critics slammed. "I actually love the outfit. I think she looks amazing. I love high-waisted jeans, I loved that belt, and her hair looked fabulous." Adds Kardashian, who's attending the Super Bowl this weekend with football player beau Reggie Bush of the New Orleans Saints, "I get that she does look curvier, but to me, there's nothing wrong it." No stranger herself to barbs about her own curvy physique, Kardashian says, "It doesn't really bother me anymore. I love curves. Being super skinny just isn't attractive to me. When I saw that picture, I knew everyone was going to say something. And I thought, 'You know what? Leave Jessica alone!' She's fabulous, she's a really sweet girl, and I admire her for putting up with it."
Miss Brazil passed away at 20
- Unfortunately Mari couldn't resist any longer. She passed away at 3 a.m. today - said Henrique Fontes, director of Miss World Brazil.
The model`s death was also confirmed by Renato Lindgren, a friend of Mariana`s who took care of her blog. He wrote that he was on his way to the hospital with a friend.
- On behalf of all the family, we are grateful for the support and the affection that the entire world has sent to us � Lindgren wrote.
Mariana, who was supposed to have represented Brazil at the Miss World beauty pageant was diagnosed with a urinary infection and the doctors had to amputate both of her hands and feet in order to save her vital organs. A difficult infection caused septicaemia, which clogged her veins and cut of f circulation.
Mariana was admitted at the Intensive Care Unit of the Brazilian Doria Silva hospital. After she had her hands and feet amputated on Tuesday, Mariana has to have additional surgery on Wednesday, urgently.
Mariana`s boyfriend Thiago Simoes said that she fell ill in December, but was misdiagnosed with kidney stones. It is only after additional tests that it was determined she was infected with the Pseudomonas aeruginosa bacteria.
Janice Dickinson probably shouldn't draw attention to her face. Ever.
Madonna still enjoys A-Rod
Despite recently dating a zombie, has rekindled her love affair with Alex "A-Rod" Rodriguez. The two spent the weekend at Jerry Seinfeld's home in the Hamptons, according to Page Six:
"But the downtime did little to calm the recently divorced pop star's nerves. She's fuming over unflattering photos from her album cover shoot that were leaked online. A snitch said, "Madonna called up the label screaming when the photos got out."
Right, because before the leaked images got out, I didn't think Madonna drained the life-force of children to live. But now, RUN, DAVID BANDA, RUN! Warn the villagers! She's got adoption papers!

Bahamas probes alleged plot to extort Travolta
Two of the suspects ambulance driver Tarino Lightbourne and former tourism minister Obie Wilchcombe were detained on Friday. Earlier, several tabloids quoted Lightbourne describing efforts to revive the celebrity's chronically ill son, Jett, who died of a seizure this month at their family vacation home on Grand Bahama.
Sen. Pleasant Bridgewater, an attorney from Grand Bahama, was arrested on Thursday. She was charged with abetment to extort and conspiracy to extort and released Friday on $40,000 bail, according to Assistant Superintendent of Police Loretta Mackey.
Authorities said Travolta filed a complaint of attempted extortion but they did not reveal what the allegations involved. The actor and his wife Kelly Preston returned home to Florida with the ashes of their 16-year-old son, and Travolta's publicist Paul Bloch said Friday that he has no comment.
Senior Assistant Commissioner of Police Marvin Dames said Lightbourne the ambulance driver was detained after police issued an alert that he was wanted for attempted extortion, was "considered dangerous and should be approached with caution."
Lightbourne remained in police custody late Friday and was assisting police, according to a police statement.
Wilchcombe a member of the Bahamas parliament and an ex-tourism minister was arrested Friday in connection with the complaint, questioned by police and released "pending further investigations," Mackey said.
Wilchcombe has described himself as a friend of Travolta who was with the actor shortly after his son died.

Happy 2009!
What a great year this is going to be. Barack Obama was sworn in just a few hours ago and we're heading toward a new direction!
So is this blog! LOL (Did you like that lead in???) I have a few interviews lined up for the next few weeks -- look for an interview with former NBA superstar Alonzo Mourning and with Survivor winner Ethan Zohn. I also should have an interview with former N'Syncer Chris Kirkpatrick. All of these men are working very hard for charity and awareness.
This year, I plan on bringing you more events and more interviews, possible contests, and even a bigger website!
So onward to a great year. I hope you're doing your part to help those less fortunate than you.
Kelly Osbourne Arrested!
*Update: Osbourne has just checked into a L.A. rehab center for 30 days to address personal issues. Mom Sharon said, "Yeah, Kelly's in rehab. What else can we say? She knew that it was the right thing to do at this point and we're proud that she did it. The family is all standing behind her. Kelly knew that she needed help and she's getting it. We just pray that everything's going to be okay."

Catherine Bell Gearing Up for 3rd Season of Army Wives!
Army Wives focuses on four women and one man whose spouses are in the service, and all of them have issues or secrets—think Desperate Housewives on an Army base (it’s filmed on an actual, defunct military base in South Carolina).
Catherine is a beautiful and talented actress. I loved the character she played in Bruce Almighty, with Jim Carrey.
