Khloe Kardashian 's next dose of reality will involve the Los Angeles County jail. The reality show star and youngest daughter of the late attorney Robert Kardashian admitted during a July 3 court hearing that she violated her probation stemming from a 2007 drunken driving arrest, according to court records. A Los Angeles Superior Court judge ordered Kardashian, who's featured on E! Entertainment Television's Keeping Up With the Kardashians , to surrender to authorities on Friday and serve up to 30 days in jail. Her drunken driving arrest was featured in an episode of the E! series.
Kardashian also must enroll in an alcohol treatment program - a term of probation she failed to complete - within three weeks of her release. She will remain on probation.
"Khloe is ready and willing to serve out her sentence, no matter how long and where, and have this resolved," publicist Jeff Raymond told the Associated Press.
Tough love Fueling the fire behind the argument that parents really just don't understand, IMDb.com reports that Julianne Moore flatly refuses to cut down on racy movie roles to spare her kids' feelings. "I'm aware that my kids will one day see my films and might think they are a bit [embarrassing], especially the nude scenes," explains the working mom, whose most recent film, Savage Grace , features a three-in-a-bed love scene. "But, hey, there's always a point in a kid's life when they hate their mother."
Postpartum obsession For those who are either (a) completely enamored of the most famous/beautiful/important (insert appropriate superlative) babies in the world or (b) are one of the three people left who haven't yet heard about them, the international media continue to deliver updates on the Brangelina twins. Today's report comes from People.com, who are happy to tell us that (quel surprise!) the papooses are the talk of the town over in Nice. In fact, Mayor Christian Estrosi , who stopped by Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie 's hospital room, shocked the local newspaper, Nice-Matin, with the news that during his visit, Pitt kept repeating the stunningly unique statement, "I am the happiest father ever." The paper also reported that the babies, Knox Leon and Vivienne Marcheline , born Saturday, spent that night in Jolie's room and that she took care of them all by herself.
What's in a name? If that isn't enough to satisfy your thirst for knowledge about the Babies of the Year, fear not! Probing deeper beneath the surface than ever believed possible, Usmagazine.com brings us the scoop on possible reasons behind the names of Brad and Angie's newest additions to their intercontinental family. (Up next! Triplets in Antarctica!) Quoting "baby name expert" Pamela Redmond Satran , the report tells us, "Vivienne is the French version of the ancient Latin name that means 'alive,' " while Knox is Pitt's grandfather's middle name, and, like the names of big brothers Maddox and Pax , it ends in an x. Satran also gave the celeb couple some much-needed support, saying, "I applaud Brad and Angelina for being truly creative in a way that many other parents - celebrities and the rest of us - claim they want to be but aren't brave or individualistic enough to really achieve."
Sex and the city, minus the sex Because she hasn't stirred up nearly enough controversy with her barely-clothed Vanity Fair photo spread, Miley Cyrus (also known by the title of her alter ego/evil twin, Hannah Montana ) has now informed the world that, in her heart of hearts, she really, really wants to remake Sex and the City . But, like, a younger and cleaner version. People.com quotes the 15-year-old, purity ring-wearing starlet explaining herself by saying, "I like to think of myself as the girl that no one can get, that no one can keep in their hand." But is she a Carrie or a Samantha?
Cheaters never prosper Though she was photographed smooching married father-of-four Balthazar Getty in Italy last Friday, Usmagazine.com hastens to assure us that Sienna Miller is not, in fact, a homewrecker. Apparently it's been over between Getty and his wife, Rosetta , for some time now, though the Brothers and Sisters star has yet to make an announcement saying as much. Still, it's safe to say that Miller, who recently split with actor Rhys Ifans, has seen the ugly side of cheating. Anyone remember Jude Law and the nanny?
The host with the most Do you find people often couple your name with adjectives like "engaging" and "energetic"? Do you have a love of cooking, the ability to operate a glue gun, the patience to assemble IKEA furniture, and the flexibility to wrangle both animals and children? And most importantly, do you have the gift of gab and a great sense of humor? If you answered "yes" to all of the above, then you've basically fulfilled all the requirements of myphl17's freelance entertainment TV host for its new local show (prior on-camera experience is also a plus, but not a requirement). To show them your stuff and perhaps nab the position, grab your headshot and resume and stop by the auditions, taking place today from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at myphl17 studios, 5001 Wynnefield Ave.
Family feud
Revealing the height of emotionally wrenching family affairs, People.com reports that Christopher Knight is "deeply hurt" that his Brady Bunch mom, Florence Henderson , publicly criticized his marriage to reality-TV costar Adrianne Curry . Earlier this month, Henderson, 74, told reporters that she urged Knight, 50, and Curry, 25, not to marry, since she felt they had been pushed into wedded bliss by their reality show, My Fair Brady . Knight, the star of said reality show, which chronicled said marriage, wrote, "It hurts me deeply that someone that I have loved and respected for so many years . . . would discuss overtly negative personal opinions about my marriage in a public forum," on the equally public forum called his MySpace page.
