The National League of Junior Cotillions has chosen to single out one of the most famous women in the world — find out why!
Kim Kardashian‘s brief marriage to Kris Humphries lost her many fans who believed the union was a sham for TV. But it also won her a place at the top of the “Most Ill-Mannered Person of 2011″ list!
Kim, 31, received this dubious honor from the National League of Junior Cotillions, which released a statement saying that Kim is guilty of “making a private matter public and disrespecting the institution of marriage.”
Meanwhile, the always gracious Kate Middleton was at the top of the “Ten Best-Mannered People of 2011″ list — what a great choice!
What do YOU think, Kim REALLY the most ill-mannered person of the year?

Last month Justin Bieber promised the students of Whitney Elementary in Las Vegas that he would put on a holiday concert at their school, and not only did he keep his word, but he also wrote them a check for $100,000 when he paid them a visit on Friday!
Justin teamed up with pal Ellen DeGeneres to help the kids, and she also surprised the school with a $100,000 donation courtesy of Target. In November, Ellen brought attention to the fact that over 70% of the children enrolled at Whitney don’t have permanent homes, and she presented Principal Sherri Gahn with a brand new library worth $200,000. We love it when celebs put their money where their mouths are!
Tune-in to The Ellen DeGeneres Show on Wednesday, January 4th to see Justin Bieber’s holiday concert for the students at Whitney Elementary School.
During an interview, a smart young fan whips out some mistletoe, and Justin’s such a nice guy that he takes a peck on the cheek! So cute!
Selena Gomez must have rolled her eyes when Justin Bieber named his album Under The Mistletoe — he gave fans everywhere a chance to trick him into a kiss!
Justin, 17, got interviewed on KYDZ Radio Las Vegas by pint-sized DJ Jillian when she suddenly pulled out some mistletoe, totally putting the singer on the spot! Luckily, Justin gladly took a peck on the cheek from this adorable fan — it’s too cute.
For someone who’s followed Britney Spears since she started out, I am genuinely happy for her and Jason Trawick. As much as I’d like to erase Kevin Federline from my memory, last night in Vegas marked how far Spears has come from her nervous breakdown just a few years ago. Trawick seems to love Spears and her boys unconditionally, and has been a tremendously good influence on the pop star. Congratulations to them both.
Spears and Trawick arrived in Vegas last night (December 16th) via private jet before heading to their 3,100 square-foot suite at Planet Hollywood Hotel & Casino, designed by Jonathan Adler. According to People, the suite boasts a full dining room, living room, jacuzzi and two bedrooms. It overlooks the Paris and Bellagio hotels and features a red Murano chandelier in the entryway.
Spears, wearing a nude Herve Leger bandage dress, and Trawick were given a congratulatory welcome on the hotel’s mezzanine. There, Planet Hollywood’s chairman presented the birthday boy with a cake. Spears made a quick trip back to her suit after to put Jayden and Sean to bed, then she and Trawick dined in a private room at The Sugar Factory’s Chocolate Lounge.
Afterwards, the couple hung in a VIP lounge at Chateau Nightclub before heading back up to their suite around 1 a.m. “Tonight was one of the most magical nights of my life,” Spears tweeted after. “Such an amazing time with my new fiancé and our closest friends and family. #Blessed
Selena Gomez and Justin Bieber must have a fair bit of dosh between them, so it’s no surprise they can fork out on a $1,800 per night hotel suite.
The couple stayed at the five-star Loews Vanderbilt Hotel in Nashville this week.
They were both shooting music videos in Tennessee, so took the opportunity to hang out together in the same hotel for two nights, in the “romantic and lavish” Swan Suite.
An eyewitness Said: “When they checked in, they just were adorable, the cutest couple. It was really sweet and Justin was incredibly polite and a real gentleman. He had his arm around Selena and they were not afraid to be affectionate with each other in public.”
The suite has a kitchen area, dining area, a jacuzzi and a king-size master bedroom. There’s also an optional guest bedroom.
Justin hit the gift store and bought Selena a pink stuffed hanging monkey, which his girlfriend then hugged and carried around. Bless!
Bieber is now in Mexico for his South American tour while Selena is filming in Southern California.
What do you make of their luxurious suite?
There are several items of Twilight cast news to share today, so to keep it short and sweet, here’s a wrap-up of the latest!
For starters, Anna Kendrick (“Jessica Stanley”) has been a busy bee, promoting the release of 50/50 (th
e film hits theaters tomorrow), and the latest for her is an “Unscripted” session with her co-stars for the film, Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Seth Rogen. Check that out here. She talks a bit about getting help from an actual therapist for her part in the film, which I found to be incredibly interesting. Also of note is a quote she offered up to Movie Fanatic about The Twilight Saga‘s use of four different directors throughout the process. Here’s what she had to say about that:

It was a little nerve-wracking. These people didn’t choose you. You have no idea if they think you’re a decent actor or you do a good job. It was lucky that it felt to me that everyone that came in felt like they just wanted us to keep doing what we were doing because they liked what we did on the last one. Nice and easy for me.
For Anna Kendrick, and many of the other Twilight Saga castmates, she was chosen by Catherine Hardwicke and her team the first go-round, so she was sort of grandfathered into her role again and again. With each new director, the original cast grew a bit more (with the exception of Eclipse and the Rachelle Lefevre/Bryce Dallas Howard change-up), so for Breaking Dawn, with Bill Condon, a cast of two dozen was already in place for the film before he ever approached the post. Presumably, he did so while content with the pre-selections, but who knows. I guess that would be a bit daunting for the actors who weren’t sure if they were what the director would’ve wanted, given more choices than Condon was. Interesting to hear her say that.
Next, the first clip of Ashley Greene (“Alice Cullen”) in her film Butter, which she recently promoted at TIFF, has been unveiled. You can watch it here. Jennifer Garner is hilarious and ironic in this scene, and Ashley Greene and Modern Family star Ty Burrell are watching Garner give her speech from the bleachers.
Meanwhile, Guri Weinberg (“Stefan” – Romanian Coven), who shared the details of his GFYS Breaking Dawn set game a while back, issued a new blog post in which he talked about turning that little back-and-forth into something charitable. The full details are here on his blog. He’s set up GFYS4Charity, a store with tons of GFYS designed shirts, etc. up for grabs. This year, proceeds will go towards Children of the Night, a charity which Weinberg and his wife support, and then in the spring, a local animal shelter will be aided by the effort until later, when Weinberg will use the aid of Twilight fans to choose a third beneficiary group. Great of him to put this into motion, right? Also, the designs are pretty elaborate and impressive! I want one!
Lastly, there are two in-progress films at the moment which are both bringing back together two Twilight Saga castmates (we’ve seen this before with Anonymous and Jamie Campbell Bower/Xavier Samuel, 50/50 with Bryce Dallas Howard/AnnaKendrick, The Haunting Hour with Booboo Stewart/Jodelle Ferland, and Shouting Secrets with Gil Birmingham/Chaske Spencer). They are: Hatfields & McCoys with Patrick Brennan (“Liam” – Irish Coven) and Noel Fisher (“Vladimir” – Romanian Coven) and Fishing Naked with Tinsel Korey (“Emily Young”) and Bronson Pelletier (“Jared”).
Fisher shared details on Hatfields & McCoys on his Twitter page, saying it is a miniseries, featuring Brennan as his father, “about these two famous feuding families in Kentucky and West Virginia.” It’s a remake of the 1970′s series The Hatfields And The McCoys, and stars Kevin Costner. Interestingly enough, Fisher has shared that production for the series is taking place in Romania (where his Breaking Dawn character hails from) and that he is staying somewhere nearby Dracula’s Castle. And it all comes full circle . . .
Meanwhile, Korey and Pelletier have been working on Fishing Naked for quite some time now, finishing up this week actually, and a first-look at the film has been offered up by Tinsel Korey Online. Check out the photos here. Looks like a sweet little movie.
‘It Will Rain’ will serve as the lead song from the soundtrack. Both the single and album are out in the UK on November 7 and a day later in the US. The track and its artwork officially premiered on YouTube yesterday. Lyrics to the chorus include: “‘Cause they’ll be no sunlight if I lose you baby/ They’ll be no clear skies if I lose you baby/ Just like the clouds my eyes w ill do the same if you walk away/ Everyday it will rain.”
Listen to Bruno Mars’s ‘It Will Rain’ in full below:
Mars recently performed a tribute to Amy Winehouse at this year’s MTV Video Music Awards, where he played the late singer’s cover of ‘Valerie’.

The star has admitted he was upset after seeing the finished version…
Taylor Lautner has revealed that he became very emotional when watching Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 1.
The hunky actor, who plays werewolf Jacob Black in the vampire flicks, has told PopSugar that Breaking Dawn is special as it shows the growth of our favourite characters.
When asked whether he cried when seeing the latest Twilight instalment for the first time, Lautner confessed: "Oh yes! Yeah, of course. It's an emotional one."
"You see the same characters we've grown to know and love in a completely different light than you've seen them before."
He continued: "I mean, it's still part of the same franchise, but I mean it's a completely different movie - and I think that's going to be exciting for fans to see."
The 19-year old, who is gearing up to the release of his new movie Abduction, added that he became upset when shooting his final scene with co-stars Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson.
He explained: "The big moment for me was the second-to-last day of filming, because that was my final scene with Kristen [Stewart] and Rob [Pattinson]."
"It was an emotional scene we were filming, so that really didn't help, but it was tough and it's a very weird feeling to be done filming,"
I guess he really is winning after all…at least in the money department. Although Charlie Sheen has become known for his unpredictable antics, the Hollywood star appears to be turning over a new leaf and it’s paying off…literally. Just after his humble appearance at Sunday night’s Emmys — during which he wished the folks at Two and a Half Men nothing but success — the actor has supposedly finally settled his dispute with Warner Bros. According to TMZ, the former Two and a Half Men star will get an immediate payout of $25 million, which will add up to $100 million in syndication profits over the next decade. In return, Sheen would need to drop his wrongful termination suit against the studio and Men co-creator Chuck Lorre. Not a bad deal for someone who just lost their job.
Could this be the cause of Charlie’s abrupt change in behavior? Admitting that his tiger blood comment was over the top, his well-wishes to his former colleagues…has this winning warlock finally left Mars and come back down to Earth? I guess money can be a powerful incentive…especially in the form of $100 million dollars.
