Khloe Kardashian promotes new WWF campaign

Khloe Kardashian has teamed up with the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) for a stylish campaign.
The 'Keeping Up with the Kardashians' star, who was previously a spokesperson for PETA, is the face of the organisation's NEW Prizeo campaign, which aims to help save the 3,200 wild tigers left in the world, and as part of her involvement will take one lucky donor on a free shopping spree in her designer store Dash, during which she will act as a personal stylist.
The 29-year-old brunette beauty said: 'I have always been a lover of exotic cats - leopard, tigers, lions, you name it. And I never knew how almost to extinction tigers were in the wild. And as soon as I became aware of that information just a few years ago, I really became passionate about just having a voice and letting people know that we need to protect our wildlife.'
Khloe, who is married to basketball star Lamar Odom, helped raise $15,000 for the organisation in a week after she tweeted its phone number to her followers, according to EOnline.com.
She hopes her fans will be equally supportive of her new campaign.
She said: 'I am so thankful to all my fans for supporting me and for supporting the causes that I love and that are so dear to my heart.'
Khloe stopped supporting PETA in March 2012 after it voiced its support for a woman who flour-bombed her sister Kim on the red carpet for wearing fur.
Announcing her departure from the group, Khloe said: 'I just received word that the woman responsible has very close ties to PETA, despite PETA publicly stating otherwise.
'I've been a vocal supporter of PETA for a long time but I have also been very vocal about anti-bullying, so this was a huge disappointment for me. As you all know, I don't condone violence and bullying and what happened last Thursday was just that.'

Lindsay Lohan begs mum to go to rehab

Lindsay Lohan has reportedly been 'begging' her mother to go into rehab.
'The Canyons' actress recently completed her own 90-day court ordered stint at the Cliffside Malibu treatment centre and is said to be urging Dina to seek similar treatment.
A source told RadarOnline.com: 'Lindsay has been worried sick about Dina lately.
'She knows Dina has been out drinking and she sees how much her own treatment helped her, so she has been begging her mother to go and get help.'
According to reports, the 27-year-old star is trying to get her mother to realise she needs help - but Dina apparently 'refuses to listen.'
The insider added: 'Lindsay has been trying to get Dina to see she has a problem too and she needs to get help, but Dina refuses to listen and insists she doesn't have a problem and doesn't need rehab.'
Those close to her family suggest Lindsay's own reluctance to seek help will be matched by her mother.
The source said: 'Getting Lindsay to go, even though it was ordered by the court, was almost impossible and it seems like Dina is going to fight even harder than Lindsay did to stay out of rehab.'

Jamie Campbell Bower: Teens need movies

Jamie Campbell Bower thinks teenagers need movies they can 'identify' with.
The 24-year-old actor can understand why his latest film, supernatural saga 'The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones', has been compared with the 'Twilight Saga' franchise - in which he also appears - but insists that is just because they explore similar themes which are relevant to their target audience.
He told Event magazine: ''The Mortal Instruments' is not 'Twilight'. There are similarities like vampires, werewolves and a love triangle, but love triangles have existed throughout history, in literature and movies.
'It's never been easy being a teenager emotionally and hormonally, so it's really important for them to have movies like this that they can identify with.'
Jamie - who is dating his 'Mortal Instruments' co-star Lily Collins - also admitted he is grateful for the support of his parents, particularly when he dropped out of private education to pursue his dream.
He said: 'I dropped out of my A-levels because I started to act. 'Sweeney Todd' with Johnny Depp was my first film, and I chose not to go back to school.
'My parents could have gone, 'Are you mental? We put so much effort, time and money into your education.' But they were very supportive.'

Simon Cowell’s lover didn’t expect pregnancy

Simon Cowell's lover Lauren Silverman didn't think she could get pregnant.
The New York socialite - who has a seven-year-old son with her estranged husband Andrew Silverman - didn't use protection during her secret relationship with the music mogul because she had been told she couldn't have any more children.
A source told the New York Post newspaper: 'She and Simon were not using protection because doctors said she couldn't get pregnant.'
The 36-year-old brunette beauty is said to be thrilled at her pregnancy news, but is concerned she could lose the unborn tot.
The source explained: 'The only fear is that because of her history of miscarriages, she might lose the child and end up with nothing.'
Meanwhile, the 53-year-old 'X Factor' boss previously pledged to give Lauren $4.5 million a year until the youngster turns 21 after taking legal and financial advice over the 'messy' situation.
A source previously said 'He wants to ensure he does the right thing for her and their baby as well as resolving this mess.
'Simon wanted to know exactly where he stands and to minimise the damage this will do to his bank balance.
'He has a good relationship with Lauren at the moment but when you're as wealthy as Simon, you can't take any chances. Money changes people.
'Simon has warned he won't be taken for a ride just because he's rich.
'He's more than prepared to be fair and generous but he's no mug.'

Jennifer Lopez signs $15 million deal with American Idol

Jennifer Lopez will return to 'American Idol' for a reported $15 million.
The 'Jenny from Block' singer has allegedly sealed a deal with network Fox which will make her one of the highest paid judges in reality TV.
The 44-year-old singer - who hasn't appeared on the show since 2011 - has negotiated a spot on the judging panel for series 13 after sitting out last season.
The singer's fee matches the amount Britney Spears received from Simon Cowell to appear on the US 'X Factor' in 2012, but is two million short of what Mariah Carey is thought to have been paid to replace her last year.
J-Lo's fee is now five million short of the $20 million she received for the 2011 series on the judge's panel, but it's still an impressive pay rise from the $12 million she earned for her debut during season 10.
It's believed the star approached Fox about a return as she wants to be based in Los Angeles so she can have a settled life with her five-year-old twins, Max and Emme, as they prepare to go to start school.
A source told RadarOnline.com: 'Idol allowed her to do that, the twins will enter kindergarten soon and stability is important for them ­ and Jennifer­ at this time. She's looking for possible schools for the kids in Los Angeles at the moment. Plus, if she's living there full-time she will be able to focus on her film career and other ventures, including her fashion business.'
The pop star's return is to be announced in the coming weeks, while the show is set to return to the original three-member judging panel as seen in 2002, which then featured Simon Cowell, Paula Abdul and Randy Jackson.
Country music star Keith Urban, is believed to be returning to the show while a third member is yet to signed, with will.i.am tipped to take the third position.

Emily Blunt rejected by charity?

Emily Blunt was reportedly rejected by UNICEF after it decided she wasn't famous enough to become one of their celebrity ambassadors.
The 'Devil Wears Prada' actress was courted by the London office of the United Nations Children's Fund but they are said to have withdrawn their request to work with her after executives in New York vetoed the appointment.
A source told MailOnline: 'UNICEF was keen to court Emily and made contact with her.
'She's a big name in British cinema, glamorous, and very much on the rise after winning some big accolades, so she seemed to be a perfect addition.
'It's a big deal to be asked, and Emily's people were keen to get her involved. But all of the celebrities in the list have to be signed off in New York and some of the senior management didn't feel she was enough of a star, so they've gone cold on her.
'It is very disappointing for Emily and quite embarrassing for her. More than anything, she has supported UNICEF in the past and would have loved to do more to help what she believes is a fantastic charity.'
A spokeswoman for UNICEF confirmed they had been in discussions with Emily but insisted she had not been rejected.
She said: 'UNICEF would love to work with Emily Blunt and hopes that there will be opportunities in the future.'
