Kim Kardashian and momager Kris Jenner have been in Haiti to bring awareness to the charity "We Advance" ... an organization that brings much-needed aid to earthquake victims. Actress Maria Bello co-founded the charity.
A source close to Kim, 31, tells People:
"Her intention was always to take the end of the year to focus on some of the other things that are important to her and this trip was one."
The "We Advance" charity hopes to "advance the health, safety and well being of women throughout Haiti," according to the website. To raise money, shirts (seen above) that read "Spread The Joy" are also for sale to benefit the cause.
"We Advance" was created back in January 2010 following a devastating earthquake in Haiti.

Some brand new behind-the-scenes footage of Rihanna's Emporio Armani underwear photo shoot has hit the web, and the R&B hottie shows off her goodies -- and why she was chosen to replace Megan Fox as the brand's spokesmodel.
RiRi also chats about switching up her hair color, telling director Johan Renck, "We did a whole transformation so now I’m a blonde and not a red head anymore ... and I like it." Hmm, but do YOU like it? Check out the video below!

Jennifer Garner graces the cover of InStyle’s January issue, and the actress chats about her seemingly perfect marriage, putting on the pregnancy pounds and her upcoming role in Butter (which she also produced).
Jen gushes about her hubby Ben Affleck, telling the mag, “I don’t know how or why it works as well as it does. Honestly, I would do anything for that man, because I know it’s not taken for granted."
Baby number three is on the way for the happy couple, and while Jen is thrilled to add to their family, she admits that she doesn't always feel so glamourous when she's sporting a baby bump. “I wish I was one of those cute pregnant girls who wear skinny jeans throughout their pregnancies,” she says. “But I just gain weight. I’m trying really hard to be mindful, but when I’m making the kids mac and cheese, I want it badly.”
On how she relates to her character in the upcoming flick Butter, Jen says, “I identified with her loss of identity. You identify with your career then become a mom and put everything you have into the happiness of those kids. And though I wouldn’t change it for anything, you lose part of yourself.”

Joining the Top Gun actor on the red carpet ... leading lady Paula Patton and co-star Simon Pegg.

Um, when was the last time we saw Tara Reid looking this good?!
We caught the 36-year-old actress dining at Madeo in West Hollywood last night with a tall, dark and handsome male companion (can anyone ID him?), and we're happy to see her back on the hot wagon. From that gorgeous smile to her healthy figure, it seems like the American Pie cutie has moved on from fake husband Zack Kehayov to a much better looking dude. Good for her!

Will.i.am has managed to create another addictive beat for his latest song "The Hardest Ever," but when you throw Jennifer Lopez in the mix, the sex factor hits a new level!
In the edgy music video, the 42-year-old diva sports a lacy bodysuit and thigh-high stockings while performing some oh-so-sexy dance moves.
Wonder if her new 24-year-old boyfriend, Casper Smart, is the inspiration behind those moves?
We're loving the special effects, but JLo is definitely the icing on the cake!

For starters, the series sounds like something we could fall asleep to, and get this -- Sarah Palin reportedly wants $1 million per episode!
Palin and veteran TV producer Mark Burnett are currently pitching a new series which would follow her husband Todd Palin's career as a championship snowmobile racer, but sources tell Hollywood Reporter that both TLC and A&E (which fought over Sarah Palin's Alaska back in 2010) aren't interested. Though Alaska debuted on TLC with a record-breaking five million viewers, it was not renewed for a second season.
"I think it's safe to say her time has passed," a network insider told THR. And not only that, but $1 million per episode is a lot of money for a show that isn't even on the air yet...
