She may never be on the cover of
Vogue, but there's hundreds of other magazines that love putting her front and center!
Kim Kardashian covers the new issue of
Us Weekly, and even though she already gave us a peek at her bikini body with a sexy selfie earlier this fall, here's another look at it!
It's been six months since Kim gave birth to daughter North West, and despite being slammed for gaining 70 pounds during her pregnancy, Kim is back in fine form these days. "
Kim feels confident again," a source tells the magazine. "
She worked really hard and is so motivated to stay fit." Now if someone would just find her a decent stylist!
In other news, Kim is defending the fact that a scant
10% of the proceeds from her recent charity auction are going to the victims of Typhoon Haiyan, and she took to her blog to clear the air.
Kim wrote:
"I feel compelled to speak about something that is in my head and my heart. Over the years, I’ve had to grow a thick skin. Being in the public eye, there are times I feel like I get criticized for any and everything I do. I’m used to it now. I just choose not to feed into negativity or become consumed by it.
The problem comes in when I get attacked for giving and trying to help people. My dad always taught me the importance of giving back. I don’t publicize everything I do to help charities and people all over the world. I do it because I want to. I do it because my dad taught me to. I do it because it’s the right thing to do. So for people to attack me for giving 10% of my eBay auction sales to the people of the Philippines, that hurts.
I do eBay auctions monthly and change the charity or church from time to time. I give 10% of all my earnings to charities, not just these eBay auctions. This month it’s for the people of the Philippines, last month was Life Change Community Church.
In regards to these eBay auctions, when the eBay numbers get broken down, the auction management agency that posts for me gets a percentage for all of their hard work, then eBay listing fees, end of auction fees, eBay Store fees, Paypal fees, etc., all add up to about half of the sale. Then I give 10% to a charity.
Truth is how the # is broken down, is neither here nor there. The people of the Philippines need all of our help, no matter how big or small.
Over the last 5+ years, I have listed thousands of items on eBay Giving Works for various causes. I will continue to do what is in my heart and am happy to know many others have enjoyed purchasing from me, as they too are giving with me.
Giving comes from the heart. We all need to be reminded of this as we celebrate the holiday season this year."
Wait, so she's still just donating 10% from the eBay auction right?

At least he didn't get into a fight with anyone, so that's a plus!
On Tuesday afternoon Kanye West landed at Los Angeles International Airport, and between Art Basel in Miami last week and concerts in New Orleans and Texas over the weekend, he's been all over the place! But where's baby mama Kim Kardashian?! And why was he stopping in LA when he had a show last night at the US Airways Center in Phoenix, Arizona? So many questions! Apparently he was flying in from New York City, which is where Kim and little Nori are still holed up.
But back to Kanye's tour! The eccentric rapper did a radio interview with
SaturdayNightOnline.com and gave what might be the most ridiculous quote of the year. “
I’m just giving of my body on the stage and putting my life at risk, literally," he said. "When I think about when I’m on the "Can’t Tell Me Nothing," and "Coldest Winter" moment,
like that mountain goes really, really high. And if I slipped … You never know. And I think about it. I think about my family and I’m like, wow,
this is like being a police officer or something, in war or something."
UM ... WHAT!? Aside from the remarks about the leather jogging pants and a certain comment about George Bush back in the day, this is easily one of the top five craziest things Yeezy has ever said. Though he tried to explain himself, it was too late. “Like you’re literally going out to do your job every day knowing that something could happen to you," he whined. "Something could happen to you verbally from the press bashing you, something could happen to you from people not liking you anymore 'cause of your records — you could actually slip on that stage."
Has anyone ever successfully thrown something at Kanye onstage? Just wondering...

On Tuesday evening Reese Witherspoon and husband Jim Toth landed at LAX, and despite the 9-hour flight from Paris, the duo looked remarkably well-rested.
Reese and Jim landed in France on Saturday, and it appears as though they left son Tennessee and her other two kids, Ava and Deacon, back in Los Angeles. Talk about a romantic vacay! On Monday the two went shopping at APC, and while Reese is set to begin production on
The Intern with Robert De Niro early next year, it looks like she'll be home for the holidays with her family. Think she'll bust out the Rudolph nose on her car again this year? We loved that!

Her body may be bootilicious, but she also has abs of steel!
Beyonce posted the snapshot above, and she's currently in the second week of her 22-day vegan challenge with hubby Jay Z. Think he snapped this photo? We're not sure, but either way, her body looks unreal!
In addition to cutting out all dairy and meat from her diet, we're thinking Bey might have been doing some crunches too. Over the summer
Heatworld reached out to her trainer, Marco Borges, and they asked what it is that Bey does to get her body looking so bangin'.
For starters Borges said that she does quite a bit of dancing, which can burn up to 610 calories in one hour. The 32-year-old singer also does a series of side planks, sliding pikes and circle planks, and Borges revealed that Bey can hold a plank for five minutes.
Apparently she also works out for an hour four times a week ... and that's obviously not including concerts and rehearsals. No wonder her figure is so flawless!

Kourtney Kardashian took her daughter Penelope and son Mason to Disneyland on Tuesday, and though Scott Disick was noticeably absent, it looks like the gang had a blast at the happiest place on earth.
Despite the persistent rumors that the duo are on the rocks, earlier this month they ditched the kids and spent a few days in Tuscon, Arizona. Kourt wrote on her blog, "We went to spend some alone time at Miraval for two nights which was gorgeous, relaxing and energizing. We went to the U of A campus so I could show Scott around. We also ate at Frog & Firkin and went to Gentle Ben’s, the bar that we always went to! We had a really unforgettable trip."
Aww! We spotted Scott buying some Chanel goodies at Barneys the other day ... wonder if he was Christmas shopping for his woman on stocking up on expensive threads for himself?

On Tuesday Gwen Stefani made her daily trek to drop off her youngest son Zuma at school, and as usual, the singer looked amazing from head to toe. Does she ever even have so much as a chip on her manicure?!
The news first broke in September that Gwen and hubby Gavin Rossdale were expecting baby number three, so she's about six months along. Gwen hasn't revealed whether she's expecting a boy or a girl, but we're guessing she's already learned the gender of her unborn baby.
In an interview with Marie Claire back in October of 2012, Gwen revealed that she wanted another kid it "didn't really work out." She added, "Everything works out how it should. You can't plan anything, right? You can try."

Everyone needs an extra hand sometimes!
Jennifer Garner went about her usual business at the Brentwood Country Mart this morning, except the actress got a little help with children Sam and Seraphina from a woman who appears to be a nanny of the family.
It's rare for Jen G to enlist helpers!
In fact, husband Ben Affleck recently praised his wife for providing him with such a rock solid personal life.
"She is by leaps and bounds the most important person to me in that respect. Over the past 10 years, she has allowed me to have a stable home life while accomplishing my professional goals," he confessed during a
Playboy magazine interview.
Is there an award for cutest family ever? If so, this bunch deserves it!
