After going on a
rant about her wedding and how she wants privacy, Kim Kardashian posted a blog on Wednesday about how she is concerned about raising a daughter in a world where "racism" and "discrimination" are "still alive." Hey, seeing as 11-month old Nori is half African-American, Kim definitely has a point here!
In a blog post titled "On My Mind," Kardashian wrote:
"I never knew how much being a mom would change me. It’s amazing how one little person and the love I have for her has brought new meaning to every moment. What once seemed so important, now feels insignificant. It’s like I get to see the world for the first time again, but through someone else’s eyes. It’s a beautiful thing to feel and experience so much more, but with that beauty comes a flip side – seeing through my daughter’s eyes the side of life that isn’t always so pretty.
To be honest, before I had North, I never really gave racism or discrimination a lot of thought. It is obviously a topic that Kanye is passionate about, but I guess it was easier for me to believe that it was someone else’s battle. But recently, I’ve read and personally experienced some incidents that have sickened me and made me take notice. I realize that racism and discrimination are still alive, and just as hateful and deadly as they ever have been.
I feel a responsibility as a mother, a public figure, a human being, to do what I can to make sure that not only my child, but all children, don’t have to grow up in a world where they are judged by the color of their skin, or their gender, or their sexual orientation. I want my daughter growing up in a world where love for one another is the most important thing.
So the first step I’m taking is to stop pretending like this isn’t my issue or my problem, because it is, it’s everyone’s… because the California teenager who was harassed and killed by his classmates for being gay, the teenage blogger in Pakistan who was shot on her school bus for speaking out in favor of women’s rights, the boy in Florida who was wrongly accused of committing a crime and ultimately killed because of the color of his skin, they are all someone’s son and someone’s daughter and it is our responsibility to give them a voice and speak out for those who can’t and hopefully in the process, ensure that hate is something our children never have to see."
Interesting.

It certainly adds character ... especially since the tip looks like it was dipped in bleach!
On Wednesday night Mel Gibson was spotted at Los Angeles International Airport, and the 58-year-old star didn't look like he was in the
best mood, but apparently he has every reason to celebrate! The news broke this week that his battery conviction for allegedly smacking ex Oksana Grigorieva in the mouth will be erased from his record ... woohoo!
Though Mel actually confessed to hitting Oksana in a sworn declaration in his custody case (he said, "I slapped Oksana one time with an open hand in an attempt to bring her back to reality"!), his legal team filed docs asking the judge to expunge his no contest plea, and it's all getting taken care of.
Gibson had been placed on three years probation, which was over in March, and there's a hearing set for a few weeks from now. The judge will reportedly allow Mel to withdraw his plea, the case will be dismissed and his criminal record will be cleared.

You can accuse her of a lot of things, but V. Stiviano was definitely a good samaritan on Wednesday when she jumped out of her Ferrari and helped an old woman who had fallen in the street.
As usual, Donald Sterling's former mistress was wearing her trademark welding mask (this one was blue), and she showed off her stems in a short skirt. Of course, her sweater and shoes matched the visor ... gotta color coordinate!
She may be behaving a bit bizarrely, but after witnessing her random act of kindness, we gotta say ... V love her too!

Apparently Kim Kardashian wants to set the record straight about her wedding to fiance Kanye West, and she took to Twitter today to reveal that her May 24 nuptials will NOT be on
Keeping Up With The Kardashians and most of what's being reported isn't true!
Kim wrote:
“Seeing so many different reports not gonna start disputing them all but a few I want to straighten out.
1. We are not married yet!
2. We are not filming our wedding for Keeping Up With The Kardashians. You will see everything leading up til and after! As much as we would love to share these memories on camera, we've decided to keep this close to our heart & share thru photos.
3. No guest list has been released. Seeing fake ones. Especially not 1600 people invited like I just read. Its VERY small & intimate
4. Seeing fake wedding dress pics of me. No one has seen my dress! Those photos are old or photo shopped.
That's its! Unless you hear it from us please don't believe nonsense!"
But that wasn't ALL she wrote! Her second tweet initially read, "2. We are not filming our wedding for
Keeping Up With The Kardashians. You will see everything leading up til & maybe even photos ...
As much as we would love to share these memories, privacy is our main priority." We thought it might be bogus, but nope! The girl who rose to fame after starring in a sex tape with Ray J (and who now rakes in the dough by letting cameras film her every move) really did say that she wants privacy:
However, after hundreds of fans presumably ripped her a new one for being a hypocrite, Kim deleted the tweet and re-wrote the first part about filming for
KUWTK. While we believe her about the dress and the guest list, we still can't wrap our heads around the fact that she wants privacy after all these years of wh*ring it out for the cameras. I mean...literally.
As one of our X17 bloggers pointed out, "Don't we know what her *sshole looks like?"
Yes. Yes we do.

Make that an arm!
On Wednesday a very pregnant Kendra Wilkinson went to lunch at Clementine in Century City with husband Hank Baskett, and she was having so much trouble walking, she wouldn't let go of her hubby as they entered the restaurant. Given the size of her belly, we're amazed that the 5'4" starlet can even stand up!
Kendra told
People earlier this spring, “Hank’s been spoiling me so much! He’s pretty much saying, ‘Whatever you need to do this pregnancy, do it.'" Awww!
Kendra previously revealed that she's due in mid-May, and she'll be going in for a scheduled C-section. So what does her 4-year-old son Hank Jr. think about being a big brother? “He knows what’s going to happen [on my] due date," she says. "He asks, ‘When am I going to see my baby sister?’ every single day.”
But that's not the only thing he's asking about! “Hank knows more than he should know. I believe that when it’s time to teach them about sex and what happens in life, why not teach them? The earlier the better — we have nothing to hide,” she explains. “He asks stuff … not just where the baby comes from, but ‘How did the baby get in there?’ That one tricks me sometimes, but we find a way to tell him.”

Gwen Stefani isn't afraid to change up her signature platinum style!
The mom of three displayed her new black-tipped 'do while running some errands on Wednesday morning.
We aren't sure if the black tips are everywhere or just in the front -- but either way we dig that the rockin' mom is switching up her style. In our eyes, the No Doubt songstress can do no wrong.
On Monday night, Gwen, who gave birth to son Apollo back in February, performed her 2004 mega hit "Hollaback Girl" on
The Voice's Top 8 Live Shows. The blonde crooner wowed the crowd with her old-school hit and during her performance was joined by crowd favorite Pharrell Williams, who co-wrote the hit. Last month the 44-year-old announced that she had officially signed on as a coach for the seventh season of the NBC competition show.

Angelina Jolie covers the new issue of
Elle Magazine, and the 38-year-old actress looks stunning in these photos snapped by her pal/Saint Laurent creative director Hedi Slimane.
Jolie also spoke candidly with the magazine's deputy editor Maggie Bullock about family life and fame, and she really opens up about her relationship with Brad Pitt and her early years on the Hollywood scene.
On having it all, Jolie says:
“I never thought I’d have children, I never thought I’d be in love, I never thought I’d meet the right person. Having come from a broken home—you kind of accept that certain things feel like a fairy tale, and you just don’t look for them.”
So what about Brad Pitt?
"You get together and you’re two individuals and you feel inspired by each other, you challenge each other, you complement each other, drive each other beautifully crazy. After all these years, we have history—and when you have history with somebody, you’re friends in such a very real, deep way that there’s such a comfort, and an ease, and a deep love that comes from having been through quite a lot together."
Jolie says the way she behaved in her twenties was “misinterpreted as [me] wanting to be rebellious,” adding:
“And in fact it wasn’t a need to be destructive or rebellious—it’s that need to find a full voice, to push open the walls around you. You want to be free. And as you start to feel that you are being corralled into a certain life, you kind of push against it. It may come out very strange, it may be interpreted wrong, but you’re trying to find out who you are. I realized that very young—that a life where you don’t live to your full potential, or you don’t experiment, or you’re afraid, or you hesitate, or there are things you know you should do but you just don’t get around to them, is a life that I’d be miserable living, and the only way to feel that I’m on the right path is just to be true to myself, whatever that may be, and that tends to come with stepping out of something that’s maybe safe or traditional.”
On her upcoming film
Maleficent, Jolie previously revealed that it was a longtime
dream of hers to star in the project, and she also had some say over who was cast as the young princess Aurora.
"They needed a child who wouldn’t be fazed by the Mistress of All Evil hissing 'I don’t like children' in her face," she says. “And my little Vivienne—we call her my shadow, because there’s nothing I can do to shake her. I can be tired, I can be grumpy, I can be in a terrible mood, and she doesn’t care. It’s ‘Mommy, Mommy,’ and she’ll cling to me. We knew that she would still do that thing, she’d still smile at me and insist that I pick her up. So we couldn’t really cast anybody else.”
Interestingly enough, Jolie's kids Pax and Zahara also appear in the film, but Shiloh had absolutely no interest in it. “I asked Shiloh about being Aurora, and she laughed in my face,” Jolie says. Still, it doesn't appear as though Brangelina are necessarily encouraging their kids to get into acting. “Brad and I made the decision that we wouldn’t keep them from sets and the fun of making movies, but we wouldn’t [glorify it either]—we wouldn’t make it a good thing or a bad thing. But I would really prefer they do something else,” she says.
