In an interview with Vanity Fair to promote all the crap she's been working on lately including her new album Hard Candy, her feature film, Filth and Wisdom, which she's directed and her documentary about Malawi I Am Because We Are. She is a busy woman, so it's amazing that she found time in between destroying her marriage (kidding!) to give an interview, but she is the all-powerful, all-knowing Madonna, so she managed to squeeze it in.

The article doesn't really reveal anything new about the ambitious pop star, except they did describe her unique patois as "the voice of the upper Midwest painted in Oxford glaze," which I thought was the most hilarious euphemism I've heard in a long time.

Kim Kardashian has been trying to eat better in 2008 – a resolution she made after downing deep fried Oreo cookies on New Year’s Eve – but her adoration for junk food has been hard to curb.

“I figured just eating well would help me lose five pounds or so,” Kardashian, 27, tells PEOPLE, admitting that three months into the New Year, her diet isn’t getting any better. “It’s so hard to eat well because I love so many unhealthy foods. I just can’t stop eating junk. It’s awful!”

Kardashian, who served as the Celebrity Hostess of Wrestlemania XXIV in Orlando on Sunday night, lamented a disastrous trip to the International House of Pancakes earlier in the afternoon. “I decided not to have pancakes, because those aren’t good for me and I didn’t want the carbs. So what did I get? Chicken strips. I knew they were bad for me, but they were worth it.”

For now, Kardashian is relying on exercise to keep her figure. “I’ve got a personal trainer who keeps me active,” she says. “I work my butt and legs just about every day, and I do cardio to burn fat. I’ve actually started videotaping my workouts so I can do them on the road. I’m going to start selling the videos soon on my Web site so that others can do the same workout that I do. They’re short videos, but if you do them one right after the other, it’s a really good workout.”

One person who loves her curvy body, regardless of what she puts into it: boyfriend Reggie Bush, who hung out with some of the wrestlers while Kardashian rehearsed. “He doesn’t care what I eat,” says Kardashian. “He loves me just the way I am.”

She’s usually a model of poise as she poses and pouts for the paparazzi.

However Paris Hilton has shown she can by as clumsy as the rest of us, even if she had swapped her trademark vertiginous heels for a pair of trainers - not footwear usually associated with danger.

The socialite was attempting a quick exit from a music store in Prague, the Czech Republic with boyfriend Benji Madden, when she tripped over a step, fell face down and banged her chin on the ground.

To add to her distress, Madden failed to play the doting beau and help Hilton to her feet and instead stepped over the hurt heiress.

However, in a move which shows chivalry isn’t completely dead, Madden, on realising the severity of Hilton’s fall, turned back round and helped her up.

But the damage was done and Hilton was overheard telling Madden: “Prague…never again.”

Up until now, Hilton has been enjoying her globe-trotting holiday which has included stop-overs in London, Cape Town, Berlin and attending the Miss Turkey 2008 beauty contest in Istanbul.

Perhaps her latest trip, the one on the ground, was down to her huge U.S. size 11 feet.

The socialite recently complained: “Yeah, it sucks, because I see all these super cute shoes in the stores: Guccis, YSLs, Manolos. And when they bring them out in my size, they look like clown shoes.”
