Despite all of the rumors that she’s pregnant, it looks like the only baby Kim Kardashian is going to be having is a food one. According to People Magazine, the romance between the almost-30-year-old reality star and her boyfriend of 4 months, Dallas Cowboys football player Miles Austin, is over, and we’re guessing that Kim is getting over the break-up by finding solace in high-fat food.

A inside source to the magazine about the supposedly mutual break-up. "With his season and Kim's filming [Keeping Up with the Kardashians] it just slowly split them apart." Is Kim Kardashian Pregnant?

The couple reportedly called it quits right before Kim left for Europe. But, in case you were thinking that this was just some summer-time fling, the source adds:They tried to keep it as low profile as possible when they were together. They were acting as if they were single or just having fun, but they never were – it was the real deal. They were always strong, but before Kim left for Europe they decided it's not fair that they don't get to spend more time together and ended it.

So who will Kim date next? Since she’s currently in Italy and due back in the U.S. on Thursday, there might not be enough time for her to meet a charming, Italian soccer player and be snapped holding hands with him before she leaves Europe. Although, given that she’s about to turn 30, maybe she’s actually started to listen to the family members who have reportedly been urging her to give up on dating athletes and has been looking for just a regular.

Athletes just aren't a good long-term investment.Then again, Khloe Kardashian is married to basketball player Lamar Odom, so maybe Kim should just turn stay away from football fields and start meeting her guys courtside.

Rima Fakih the first Muslim crowned Miss USA spoke out against the planned mosque near Ground Zero yesterday, saying the project is insensitive to 9/11 victims.We should be more concerned with the tragedy than religion.

Miss USA Rima Fakih, who was born in Lebanon but raised in Dearborn, Michigan.I totally agree with President Obama with the statement on Constitutional rights of freedom of religion, Fakih told Inside Edition.I also agree that it shouldn't be so close to the World Trade Center.

13-story community center and mosque two blocks north of Ground Zero, Park51 mushroomed into a national controversy last week after President Obama spoke in favor of the project.

She told the Detroit Free Press on Tuesday she's fasting from sunrise to sunset for Ramadan.The former Miss Michigan became the first Muslim to be crowned Miss USA in May. She dazzled judges when she took the stage in a skimpy red.

She would also be the first Muslim to be crowned Miss Universe.Fakih commissioned a flashy gold and silver eagle costume for the competition that she calls a tribute to Obama.

This costume is a tribute to your work to bring peace to the world," Fakih said of the winged outfit in a promotional video for Miss Universe.The amazing costume I will wear during the Miss Universe pageant represents the celebration of life.

Fakih hit a rough patch in May when TMZ.com posted photographs of the beauty competing in a "Stripper 101" competition at a Michigan bar.She was crowned pole dancing champion at the event.

Britney Spears has the most Twitter followers out of all Twitter users. Including President Obama. But Lady Gaga is getting close. So close. And we have a feeling she'll soon beat Britney.

She said that she lost some money to her former hairstylist, Maria Gabriela Perez, who has been accused of stealing from multiple high-profile clients, like Liv Tyler and Anne Hathaway.

That was not cool so I just stopped going to her," Aniston said. "I knew something like this would eventually happen because there's no way you can get away with that.

Who faces up to 25 years in jail, went to federal court on Thursday. The cards at Chez Gabriela Studio mostly weren't swiped, with the numbers of cards being entered manually.

$214,000 was allegedly charged to two of Liv Tyler's American Express cards, and there were also $68,000 worth of charges on jewelry designer.

Jennifer Aniston also hit the news yesterday for saying "retard" on Regis & Kelly.

Jennifer dressed up like Barbra Streisand in Harper's Bazaar, and when Regis asked her about it, he said "You're playing dress up," with her responding "Yes, I play dress up.

Jennifer's joining the ranks of criticized "r-word" celebs like Lindsay Lohan and Howard Stern.

Britney Spears younger sister Jamie Lynn has sparked rumours of a reunion with the father of her baby after they were spotted attending a LADY GAGA concert together.The former Zoey 101 actress, 19, gave birth to Casey Aldridge's child, daughter Maddie, in 2008.

There was so much to like in Monday's new production premiere of Mozart's Don Giovanni at the Salzburg Festival that it's difficult to know where to start.

Uncounted stagings have faltered either because they were too conventional — a.k.a. boring — or so desperately wannabe avant garde that they clashed with the original story; a dissolute rake meets his just fate, death and damnation after a life of debauchery, coupled with murder.

We had a major redo Monday but presented through the refreshing prism of director Claus Guth and the result was as if a moth-eaten carpet was taken out.

A constantly changing diorama mounted on a rotating stage with props added or disappearing out of sight of the audience.Some of the unusual objects seen on stage Monday: a full-size car driving through the woods that serves as the venue for a tete-a-tete between the Don and one of his paramours; a rural bus stop, with the same function.

Italian nobleman of the classic opera and his manservant were turned here into two hipsters, into beer and recreational drugs and replete with all the gestures that transmit coolness. Strangely, the libretto fits these dudes despite its age.

Christopher Maltmann was a fabulous Don Giovanni in voice and dramatic expression, upstaged only slightly by Erwin Schrott as the servant Leporello. But they were best together: Leporello, the bass, the straight-man to the Don.

Don's objects of desire added to the musical delights. The mature timbre of Dorothea Roeschmann as Donna Elivra; the fresh sound of Aleksandra Kurzak as Donna Anna, and the bubbly enthusiasm of Anna Prohaska as Zerlina.

Don Ottavio covered for a sick Joseph Kaiser with admirable constancy and growing vocal confidence. And in the pit, Yannick Nezet-Seguin conducted a supreme ensemble that shifted effortlessly from the tight unit underpinning the soloists on stage to the poignant solo woodwind or harp that heralded the start of one of the singer's.

The mood turns sinister even before Donna Anna's father, murdered by the Don, turns up in the gloom to start digging his killer's grave.Then, within minutes, the death cry of a reprobate who chooses the grave instead of redemption.

In case you’ve been living under a rock the past few weeks, all hell is breaking lose at AI! Simon Cowell is gone, Ellen Degeneres has decided she doesn’t have the backbone to destroy people’s dreams and has decided to bow out and Kara DioGuardi’s contract has not been renewed (which in TV terms means that she’s been fired!)


Now word on the street is that Jennfier Lopez is slated to be a judge along with …GASP!!–Steve Tyler from Aerosmith! Talk about a change in direction. But what if my friends, JLo and/or Tyler have a change of heart and decide not to be judges........

Lady GaGa debuted a new song called You And I at Elton John’s White Tie and Tiara ball last week.
"This is a brand-new record that no one's ever heard before ... ever," she said while seated at one of her signature deconstructed pianos and wearing a bedazzled black bra and panties with black boots. "And I've never, ever played it live, ever."


On her Twitter, she described "You and I" as a "new song ... written in NY on the piano I grew up on."
She wasn't kidding about the song having a rock edge, as the tune eschewed most of her dance flavor, right down to a rollicking barrelhouse piano solo, during which she stood up on the piano bench and bashed out some John-worthy runs on the black and whites. She finished the tune crouched on the bench, wailing, "You and I," while pumping her fist, before giving it a big finish that included kicking a heel up on the keyboard and lying across the piano bench with her head on the ground.


Gaga also took the stage in a wheelchair with her chest covered in fake blood and accompanied by an oiled-up male dancer for a run through "Alejandro," and she performed her ballad "Speechless." During the latter, John came out and joined her for a dueling-pianos showdown, trading off verses on the tune dedicated to Gaga's dad and then reprising their Grammys duet with a snippet of his hit "Your Song," during which he improvised the line, "I hope you don't mind that I wrote down in words/ How wonderful life is with Gaga in the world."

Lady Gaga was reportedly thrown out of a New York Yankees clubhouse after sneaking in to drink with the players, UK's Daily Mail is reporting.


The New York Post reports that the Yankees clubhouse president and managers went storming off when they learned that Lady Gaga had crashed her way into the gathering. It's reported she was told to leave immediately, but it's not clear what her reaction was. Flip through our Lady Gaga slideshow. Do you think the punishment was too much punishment for Gaga's off-the-wall ways, or did Yankees officials have the right to act as they did? Leave us a comment, then get the wacky story on Gaga's recent Mets game scandal here!
Also, The New York Post was claiming she had been drinking whisky and fondling herself before being asked to leave and was reportedly banned from the stadium due to her boozy antics.
Gaga seemed to have talked her way into the clubhouse to join star players Alex Rodriguez and Ronson Cano for drinks after watching the game, wearing just an ill-fitting Yankees shirt and flashing her black underwear.
