Kim Kardashian's Million-Dollar Lollipop

Last weekend the bling was on the red carpet in Los Angeles. This weekend, the flashiest diamond-covered item on display might have been the $1 million diamond-encrusted Couture Pop and matching necklace presented to Kim Kardashian at the Sugar Factory at the Paris in Las Vegas. The lollipop will go on display in the store's Las Vegas Strip-facing windows. Kardashian has been repping for the designer lollipops since 2010 and former Spice Girl Mel B also has a line of the pops. The Pussycat Dolls and Britney Spears had lines of the lollipops to support past tours. The lollipops have crystal-covered sticks with interchangeable color-coordinated heads.

David Arquette was supposed to attend but was involved in a car accident on the way to the Burbank Airport. On hand for the event were Mel B, Holly Madison Pussycat Dolls founder Robin Antin and Nick Cannon. Robin Leach has the full run-down of the event in his Las Vegas column.

Eva Longoria Spotted in Miami on Utopia III Superyacht

Desperate Housewives stunner Eva Longoria was spotted in Miami over Super Bowl weekend enjoying a romantic rendez-vous aboard the 150 ft. Utopia III superyacht (above). Barely a week after her divorce from Tony Parker was finalized, she was seen making waves with 25-year-old Spanish singer Eduardo Cruz, actress Penelope Cruz's younger brother, the London Daily Mail reports. There were on the yacht as guests of cosmetics mogul Loren Ridinger, who hosted a Super Bowl viewing party.

Built by Trinity Yachts in 1999, the Utopia III has accommodations for 10 guests in addition to nine crew – not that we're implying Eva and Eduardo shared a bunk, though they did spend the night on board. The yacht has been in the news before thanks to Kim Kardashian strutting around the decks in a bikini. Longoria first sparked rumors of a romance when she was spotted with Eduardo at her Los Angeles restaurant Beso in October; Eduardo was then seen leaving Eva's house on Christmas Eve.

Kim Kardashian Refused $1 Million Dollar Birthday Cake

Kim Kardashian spent last week traveling from birthday party to birthday party in celebration of her 30th birthday on Thursday and after accepting who knows how many gifts and cakes from friends and family she drew the line and refused a $1 million jewel-encrusted birthday cake that was meant to be a surprise during her appearance at GLO Nightclub in Westbury, NY.

The cake was never delivered as Kim found out and had it canceled beforehand. Later Kim explained on her blog "Making a million dollar birthday cake is just ridiculous! I'd rather they give me a cupcake and donate the rest of the money to the homeless!" She also wrote "I would never allow anyone to spend that much money on a cake."

Kim Kardashian still appeared as scheduled at GLO on Saturday, although the cake did not. GLO representative Danielle Orsino responded by saying "It's a shame that she couldn't just enjoy it for what it is, a record-breaking diamond-encrusted cake gifted her, a lover of diamonds."

Kim Kardashian Shows Off Her Curves For W Magazine

Kim Kardashian loves her body. She has never been one to shy away from showing it off. She always looks impeccably put together and beautiful, especially in her form fitting, body conscious, making men drool dresses. Given her past spread in both Playboy (which she says she regretted) and in Harper's Bazaar, it comes as no surprise that Ms. Kardashian would grace the cover of W's November Art issue in the buff.

Kardashian's revealing photos, where she is covered from her neck down in silver metallic body paint, have been available online for weeks now. And there's been a lot of buzz about it - some good and some bad. Needless to say, I think the photos are beautiful. The ability to photograph the human body in its purest form and capture its beauty while translating that into a captivating and artistic editorial spread is no small feat and editorial photographer Mark Seliger accomplishes this task well.

Apparently more than long hair and curves run in the Kardashian family, they seem also to have a taste for Rolls-Royces. Earlier this year Khloe Kardashian bought a new white-on-white 2010 Rolls Royce drop-top coupe for her basketball player husband Lamar Odom. Now her sister, Kim, who also has a Bentley, has picked up a $250,000 Rolls Royce Ghost car. On her Twitter she wrote: "I think my house is now haunted...I see a Ghost!!!" and added a Twitpic of a two-tone Rolls-Royce Ghost. We hope she has better luck with this car, she had a little bit of a bump with her Bentley back in August that reportedly set her back as much as $25,000 in repairs.

Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week just wrapped up in Miami, showcasing the hottest swimsuit looks for next summer. As New York Magazine notes, the annual spectacle "features more bronzer and boobage than every other fashion week combined", and this year's event was no exception, with designs from Kourtney, Khloe and Kim Kardashian's Beach Bunny Swimwear line among other looks both louche and luxe. Tattoo maven Ed Hardy showed a surprisingly wearable collection, while celeb attendance at the shows and parties was a bit sub-par – OK, seriously sub-par – with, in addition to the Kardashians, rapper/actor Bow Wow and Angela Simmons of MTV reality fame, N'Sync singer and Dancing with the Stars contestant Lance Bass, Peregrine from Bravo's Work of Art, Lipstick Jungle's Lindsay Price and the cast of The Real Housewives of Atlanta. The real action was on the runway in any case – check out the video for footage of the Beach Bunny show.

RSVIP: Kim Kardashian Brings Sexy to the FIFI Awards

by Jeffrey Slonim (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Cosmetics and Fragrance

An Oscar is to film and a Tony is to Broadway what a FIFI Award is to fragrance.

On June 10, the 38th Annual FIFI Awards commandeered New York's Downtown Armory, adding a sniff of glamour to the behemoth brick Army post. Kim Kardashian appeared vacuum-packed into a gown by Lebanese designer Zuhair Murad. The double breasted scoop in the front, with six large buttons, added gravity-defying lift to Kardashian's ample cleavage. Like everyone at the event, she spoke Fragrancese. "It's basically all my favorite memories in a bottle," said the reality-show star of her eponymous scent, aptly subtitled in the sexy ads, "The voluptuous new fragrance."

"The gardenia [note] is for the family vacations with my dad in Hawaii," she said. "Tuberose reminds me of my mom. All my favorite scents happen to be white florals. I added a bit of orange blossom for citrus," she told Luxist.

Usher, honored as the FIFI's 2010 Fragrance Celebrity of the Year, wore a padded black waistcoat by Alexander McQueen that resembled fencing garb. He called his move into fragrance "the branding of Usher," and speaking of his scent "VIP," he told Luxist, "This will be my fifth fragrance. I wanted intelligence; I wanted elegance. If you look at the advertisements, the weight of the bottle, the essence, it's all top-shelf."

"When everything else comes off," he quipped, "the fragrance stays on."

"I was happy to find my new love, new passion, which is fragrance," he said, then posing with a soldier in fatigues.

The Kardashians seem to be everywhere lately. Just the past few months have given us one Kardashian (Khloe) at the White House with her basketball player husband and another Kardashian (Kim) at the Super Bowl with her football player boyfriend. And then there are the reality television shows and the commercials. And it's not over yet. Kim Kardashian has produced mini-documentary titled The Spindustry about the promotion for Sugar Factory's luxury lollipops with Kardashian friend Jonathan Cheban of Command PR.

Kim Kardashian has her own line of lollipops with the company. The pops each have crystal-covered sticks and interchangeable color-coordinated heads. Former Spice Girl Mel B also has a line of the pops. The Pussycat Dolls and Britney Spears had lines of the lollipops to support their most recent tours. The Couture Pops cost $25 each and additional heads are $12 for three.

Kim Kardashian Sells West Hollywood Apartment

Filed under: Estates, Celebrity Shopping

The upcoming Super Bowl had me curious about the real estate doings of New Orleans Saints star Reggie Bush and his main squeeze Kim Kardashian. Last time we checked in with the on-again, off-again couple both had their homes on the market. Perhaps it is time they move into together because they may have both sold their homes. Bush's Hollywood Hills home, which was listed for $5.099 million has disappeared off the MLS. Property records don't indicate a sale however so I'm not sure if maybe he didn't just change his mind.

Kardashian on the other hand, has managed to unload her three-bedroom apartment in West Hollywood. The reality star's glamour girl inspired beige apartment was once listed at $1.099 million but appears to have sold for just $885,000, a number that she said was more than she bought it for. The main Kardashian clan home in Hidden Hills which has lingered on the market for over a year is still listed at $2.995 million.
