Dish It: Thank God for Kim Kardashian (and other such troopers)

On a slow news day, you can always count on a few stalwarts to spice things up. Family feuds, talent show auditions, YouTube and anyone even remotely involved with The Hills. Oh and Kim Kardashian (I’m not fat, it’s not my sex tape, I work hard for these curves, I’m not fat, okay it is my sex tape, but how dare he release it …)

So on that note …

- Lauren Conrad has, most unexpectedly, turned down her invite to the nuptials of Speidi. I am still waiting for mine. Surely I am invited, I’m Spencer’s biggest fan.

- Kim Kardashian has fallen asleep in the Mexican sun, acquired a shocking sunglasses tan and posted the photo on Twitter. It looks just like a shocking sunglasses tan.

-The father of the little star of Slumdog Millionaire, Rubina Ali, has been arrested for trying to sell her. He claims he wasn’t, and didn’t quite understand the Dubai Sheikh’s offer. After reports off this attempted transaction filtered back to Rubina’s biological mother, who abandoned Rubina at birth, she engaged in a public fistfight with Rubina’s stepmother, who raised Rubina after her said abandonment. Rubina watched on.

- Jess Origlassio has come out swinging against Miss California … on Twitter. Miss C has everybody a-flutter after responding to Perez Hilton’s gay marriage question with her own beliefs that marriage belongs between heterosexuals. Jess O has dragged cavemen into the twitter arena, claiming she’d be a better Miss USA contestant because her views have evolved from that era while Mr Hilton has taken to the video camera to tell people just how that questions should be answered. Oh, he also called her a dumb bitch. This might be all very well, I don’t know the girl, but can one demand acceptance of their own opinions in a public arena whilst not granting others the same? I’m all for gay marriage, I found her response disappointing, and I love you Perez, but something isn’t sitting right about the backlash.

- Apparently Amy Winehouse is considering making St. Lucia her permanent home so she can adopt a local child. I’ll let that one sink in.

- I have a new love in Andy Harris who has this video on Funny or Die. The original Dominoes video really wasn’t that funny or watchable (and for God’s sake, if you’re going to tank your own reputation and that of a giant company, go the whole hog) however this one is. It really is. And dare I say it, a wig always makes a roleplay.

- And in more watchable-video-news, the Susan Boyle bandwagon shows no signs of slowing down as millions of people hop aboard everyday. The video of her audition is set to become the most watched YouTube video ever, having already racked up over 100 million views.

- And finally, if Funny or Die, Susan Boyle and Perez Hilton aren’t enough to get you to your lunch break, behold …

About Olivia Hambrett

Liv Hambrett is the Editor in Chief of Trespass. She has a weakness for the Scandinavian pop scene, doughnuts, and escapism (among many other things). She routinely pours cups of tea and forgets about them, buys international glossy magazines even though they highlight her fashion, fiscal and physical shortcomings and has lost count of how many perfumes she owns. This doesn't stop her from buying more. One day, she will write a bestselling book, turn it into an award winning screenplay, and retire to a villa (or yacht, she's not fussy) in the Mediterranean, to live out the rest of her days in sundrenched peace. If you lose her, look under a pile of books, scrap paper and empty tea cups, or check her bank statements for any recent, rash plane-ticket purchases. Don't try and call her, she's probably lost her phone.
