Kim Kardashian wants to branch out from reality TV to become a sitcom star.
She's in the early stages of developing her own scripted half-hour comedy series.
“Kim wants to move beyond reality TV and become a comedy actress,” says a source.
Kim’s desire to move on to her own show comes after a number of appearances away from her family and E! She popped up on a live episode of NBC’s “30 Rock” Thursday, playing herself in two scenes, and tweeted afterward: “Anyone see 30 Rock tonight??? I had a blast!!!! Love this show!” Jon Hamm, Paul McCartney, Amy Poehler and Jimmy Fallon also made cameos.
She played herself on an episode of Tim Allen’s ABC sitcom “Last Man Standing” in February. And she’ll play a character in Tyler Perry’s upcoming movie, “The Marriage Counselor,” opposite Vanessa Williams and Jurnee Smollett.
It’s unclear who’ll produce Kim’s proposed sitcom, but sources speculate it could be “Kardashians” partner Ryan Seacrest.

Republicans Are Tired
From The Daily What:
Both Mitt Romney and President Obama spoke at universities this week and received some very different reactions from the student voters. This tidy little side-by-side comparison shows exactly how stoked young voters are for Obama, while the students at Romney’s event seem like they’re catching up on their sleep.
Is Anyone Else A "Shameless" Fan?
A friend of mine turned me onto Showtime's "Shameless" last weekend and OMG is it ever good! In the past week I managed to watch the entire 2nd season via Showtime On Demand.
Shameless is the story of perhaps the most dysfunctional - yet functioning - family you will ever see. Seriously - if you've ever thought your family was messed up, just watch Shameless and you'll find out how good you really have it.
As an added bonus, Shameless features a bunch of cute guys and Joan Cusak (below). What more could you ask for??

New Music Album: Usher "Looking For Myself"
After 15 years of dominating popular music, Usher still knows how to think ahead of the game without losing himself, his fans, or his quality of music. Usher had a listening event for his upcoming seventh studio album, "Looking For Myself," at NYC's Daryl Roth Theater.
Every audience member, including Justin Bieber, stood for the entire time and shuffled around the floor at different times in order to soak in the seamless set changes and every unique moment of the show to the fullest, from Usher running on an elevated treadmill to members of the Fuerza Bruta cast "swimming" on Plexiglass above the heads of the audience. The R&B singer took full advantage of this experience to get personal with his fans, as the tracks for his new album acted as the soundtrack for the evening.
Here is the full list of tracks performed from "Looking For Myself":
"Climax"
"Looking 4 Myself"
"Lemme See"
"Climax (Kaskade Remix)"
"Twisted"
"Scream"
"Dive"
"Show Me"
"Hot Thing"
"I Care 4 U"
"Euphoria"
"Can't Stop, Won't Stop"
NBA Star Drops Lawsuit Against "Basketball Wives La" Star
Just months after getting engaged to his baby mama, NBA star Gilbert Arenas decided he wants to drop his lawsuit over her reality show "Basketball Wives: LA" but with one catch, he can bring it back any time he sees fit.
The Grizzlies star filed a suit over the VH1 series which featured Laura Govan claiming the show and his ex had no right to make money using his image without his permission.
Now he is asking the court to dismiss the suit coincidentally after his ex officially became his fiancée. But Arenas still wants to keep his right to bring it back whenever he wants, in case he feels exploited again or if they break up again.
Shed Media have fired back urging the court to dismiss the case permanently
A judge has yet to rule on the motions and Arenas has yet to rule on whether his fiancée can keep that title.
Where There's A "Will", There's A Way
During a recent visit to my new favorite dive bar - Boots and Saddle - Will (above) was providing the entertainment for the evening. So tonight when I came across these pics of him on the internet, I decided to share this fine gentleman with the rest of you. FYI: he really should call himself "BIG Willy", if you smell what I'm stepping in.
Check out an earlier post I did on Will HERE.

"Basketball Wives" Stars Shaunie O’Neal & Tami Roman Speak About Boycott
Shaunie and Tami both sat down for interviews this week to respond to all of the negativity surrounding the show. In an interview with Sister 2 sister magazine, Tami says that if anyone is to blame for their childish antics and how they are being portrayed on the show, it’s should be the producers of the show.
‘[...] Call out VH1 because I will join that battle. Why call for several people to be unemployed that really have nothing to do with the creative process?
“I come with my storyline and things that I want to introduce and low and behold what they want to show are those dramatic moments. There is more to us. I have thought about leaving, I would love to see a season 5 where VH1 and Shed Media are called out to show more positive things that we’re doing and show us how we are 90 percent of the time, instead of how we are 10 percent of the time. I would love to see the brand in and of itself go out on a more positive note. What they are seeing is a part of my personality. I’m not trying to take back my actions, but that’s not who I am all the time.
When asked about the recent fight involving Jennifer and Evelyn and her assistant Nia, Tami says that she doesn’t feel like it is her place to point fingers, however, she does think that Evelyn needs to change.
I can’t judge Evelyn, She has to work toward change. People don’t give us the benefit of the doubt or take that into consideration. Did Evelyn need to run over the table? Maybe not. Did Nia have to go over and slap Jennifer? Maybe not. I still don’t believe that warrants this big all-out movement against women who are really just showing our lives.
Meanwhile, in an interview with Hip Hollywood, Shaunie says that she doesn’t think that Evelyn’s behavior towards Jennifer this season could be considered bullying:
"Sometimes It can be a bit of bullying going on because of the personalities being a lot stronger, you know like Evelyn’s personality is a lot stronger than Jen’s, so it does seem like its bullying but I don’t think Jen would think she’s bullied. I don’t think she would want to take that role of being bullied because I think she is strong in her own way. It’s just a different way of dealing with it.
People are like ‘Why do you let people say this and that?’ They are grown women but at the same time I will say, ‘You really need to bring that down like 17 notches like I don’t see why you need to come in at 50! You need to come in at like 13. Lets talk it out, let’s use our words’ , but it never ever works! Never works!"

"Real Housewives of Atlanta" Star Kim Zolciak Goes In On NeNe Leakes
Looks like Kim Zolciak and NeNe Leakes wont be burying the hatchet anytime soon.
Kim made her feelings perfectly clear when it comes to NeNe.
"She's really changed, and she's not funny to me anywhere, She used to be really funny."
"She's not funny to many of us either, it's more like mean-spirited," Williams said in agreement.
Kim went on to explain what she feels the root of the problem is with her outspoken costar and why she believes they won't be reconciling anytime soon.
"I think the problem with NeNe honestly is that Nene doesn't have the tools to communicate effectively," she explained. "And if NeNe could really sit there and talk to me and communicate ... Like, people get in arguments with my girlfriends and you disagree, but you can't get loud and violent, that's a problem.
"If she had the tools to communicate effectively and kind of work through things, then there's a possibility that I'd sit down and have a conversation."
Kim shared that she is still waiting to hear from Bravo as to whether there will be a fifth season of the Real Housewives of Atlanta, but in the meantime she has plenty to keep her busy!
Pierced
“I think men who have a pierced ear are better prepared for marriage. They've experienced pain and bought jewelry.”
