Kim Kardashian arrived back in LA after a trip to the Middle East to rack up some paid promotions ... and we spotted the beginnings of a cold sore on her lip as she touched down in Florida. And we can't help but wonder ... could another paycheck be in the mail?

Kim and her family are (in)famous for their shameless endorsements. Kim is the spokesperson for TRIA home laser hair removal. Her mom Kris endorses Zestra Essential Arousal Oli sex-enhancer and Poise pads for bladder leakage. I mean, really, cold sore medicine would be far less embarrassing! And probably quite profitable!

On a more serious note ... KK wasn't exactly well-received in Bahrain and Kuwait. Protestors started rioting near the capital city of Manama on Saturday and had to use tear gas to disperse the crowd. Demonstrators carried signs reading, "Kim Not Welcome" and "Syria receives martyrs while Bahrain receives w*****." Yikes!

When Heidi Klum cancelled her annual Halloween costume party in NYC after Hurricane Sandy hit, she promised she'd reschedule and here, at the beginning of December, Heidi celebrated Halloween a few weeks late.

The supermodel mom hosted the Haunted Holiday party benefiting the American Red Cross at Finale nightclub in New York, sponsored by Svedka Vodka and SmartWater.

Dressed as Cleopatra, Klum arrived in a floor-length cape covered with rhinestones and an elaborate headdress. One thing conspicuously missing was her bodyguard/boyfriend Martin Kristen, though the 39-year-old did have a date ... good 'ol Saint Nick!



After a whirlwind tour of Italy with boyfriend Ashton Kutcher, Mila Kunis is back in Rome for the Artists For Justice And Peace event with James Franco and Paul Haggis.

The director and former Scientologist founded the group, whose mission, according to the organization's web site, is "to encourage peace and social justice and address issues of poverty and enfranchisement in communities around the world. The organization’s immediate goal is to build schools to serve the poorest areas of Haiti, providing an education, hot meals, clean drinking water and regular medical treatments to the children living in the slums."

Last night's event in Italy's capital feted the group's collaboration with Vhernier Jewelers to support the "A Ring to Educate a Child" campaign. 100% of the proceeds go to benefit the group's programs in Haiti.

Quite a long flight for a fundraiser ... but good work for a good cause, Mila! Wonder where Ashton was ...

They are busy girls after all!

Fresh off the heels of her arrest for assault earlier this week, Lindsay Lohan is claiming that the incident in the NYC nightclub wasn't her doing.

According to the New York Post, the much maligned 26-year-old actress experienced a meltdown after the events while in a hotel on the Upper East Side.

A source recalled hearing the Liz & Dick star crying and saying, "Why does this happen to me? This is a setup! I don’t deserve this . . . It’s not my fault!" The incident was seemingly sparked after Lohan accused Tiffany Mitchell of stealing her sister's Ali's purse which contained $10,000 that she gave her.

''I was trying to find out who stole Ali’s purse!" Lohan continued according to the source. "I gave her the money for my family, to pay for my brother’s school fees." The source added that they overheard her saying she never hit the girl.

The problems continue for the actress as it's been learned that Mitchell hired attorney Gloria Allred to represent her in the suit. Lohan is also still facing charges stemming from her June car crash to add to her growing list of problems that has led her to allegedly consume two liters of vodka a day.

How sweet!
