AmoreMagazine.com's Kate Casey: Paris Hilton Asks Me for Advice

Dear Kate,

I need your advice.

I used to have this friend. Let’s call her Shmim Shmardashian. We grew up together. She always idolized me. I mean, most people do. We used to have such a blast together. We’d spend hours talking about my amazing hair. We’d sit in my closet for hours while I’d try on clothes and practice poses. I even taught her how to use foreign men for money and expensive presents. Then it seems like as soon as I sold my own sex video and started to film a reality show she started to get distant. Next thing I know she’s done her own video and her whole family got their own show, but on a cable channel. Like — can’t you find your own trashy way to become famous? I understand that people look up to me, but she was supposed to be my friend. I never slept with any of the guys she wanted to be with. You know why? Because I am a good friend (and I also found them all repulsive).

Now all of a sudden she is everywhere. Do you know what it is like to see your enemy’s face everywhere? I can’t get the same rates for showing up at a party to scream in a microphone in Vegas the way I used to. I am not getting the same pay to open a milkshake shack in the Middle East. My sex tape sales are down. I thought I could get married and that would help my image but then she beat me to it. I even thought about getting pregnant (even if my OBGYN says that it might be tricky) and then what do you know? She’s knocked up. CAN I GET A BREAK?

I feel like it would be really good for my career if I try to reach out. But apparently she’s still pissed because a reporter a few years ago asked me if I would want her butt. I said it was gross and that it reminded me of cottage cheese inside a trash bag. Is that mean?

But I miss having photographers follow me everywhere. I have my second assistant call TMZ and X17 every day and tell them where I am going and they never show up. I’ve tried to get into he Vanity Fair parties. I can’t even get an invite to animated movie premieres. Apparently the Kid’s Choice Awards think I am a bad influence. Do they not understand that there are tens of girls that admire my sense of fashion and starvation tricks? I had to BEG my aunts to get a spot on Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. HELLO. My alchie aunt Kim is now more famous than me. Do you know how that feels?

So should I just pretend I care about her so I can use her the same way she used me? Maybe make lunch plans and tell the media she will be showing up? Maybe ride out a fake friendship until I can get myself on the cover of Life & Style? My mom says I should just make another video, but according to the health department this is not a safe way to get myself back in the press.

Can you help?

Thanks!

Former Kardashian Nanny Writes Tell-All Book!

(Photo: Coleman-Rayner/Coleman-Rayner)

A former Kardashian family nanny is spilling everything on the famed reality TV family in a new book titled, Malibu Nanny: Adventures of the Former Kardashian Nanny.

Pam Behan was just 19 in 1991 when she was hired by the klan -- long before the Kardashians became a household name in America.

Kris Kardashian, she says is the main family member pulling the strings.

“Kris wants what she wants, when she wants it, which is usually now!’ ”

“Especially as hired help, there were good times and bad times.”

She says that Kris let her go because she forget to get broccoli at the grocery store.

“I can’t believe you forgot the f---ing broccoli!” Kris Jenner belted out.

“I had mentally started packing my bags — I was going to quit. And all this, over broccoli!” said Behan.

Bruce has some dirt too; Behan says that she told the family a story about her losing a 300-meter race on her high school track team.

“Bruce grimaced and uttered in a pained voice, ‘Never ever tell that story again in my house,’ ” she recalled.

Even more, he had a problem with her nose saying,

“You could use a little taken off your nose!” Jenner said.

Read more from Behan's tell-all book after the jump.

Ford is apologizing for a leaked ad they ran featuring a cartoon charter drawing of Paris Hilton and the Kardashian sisters tied up and gagged in the trunk of a car.

The ad was created by the automaker’s India-based advertisement team, JWT India, in the ad the tagline reads: “Leave your worries behind with Figo's extra large boot.”

Ford's formal apology read:

"We deeply regret the publishing of posters that were distasteful and contrary to the standards of professionalism and decency within WPP Group. These were never intended for paid publication and should never have been created, let alone uploaded to the Internet.

We deeply regret this incident and agree with our agency partners that it should have never happened. The posters are contrary to the standards of professionalism and decency within Ford and our agency partners."

The ads were pulled soon after they were leaked.

Tell us what you think of the ad?

AmoreMagazine.com's Kate Casey: Kim Kardashian’s Family Thinks She Should Get a Tummy Tuck After Baby

Would you be surprised to hear that Kim Kardashian is already plotting her post-vaginal baby release surgery? Especially on the heels of reports that the uber shallow Kanye West is growing less interested in her now that she’s gaining pregnancy pounds? The normally suction-cupped/lipo-loving/Quicktrim touting reality show star can’t control pregnancy gain. So she’s already coming up with a back up plan so she can go back to her lucrative career in bathing suit and cocktail dress posing. Since Kim is the main money maker in the Kardashian family it’s got everyone worried, including the fringe relatives like the aunts and second cousins.

Kim’s aunt Joan Kardashian just gave an interview to Now Magazine about the state of her pregnancy, weight gain, and plans for plastic surgery.

“She can have a tummy tuck which will take care of most of her weight fears. The family’s trying to convince Kim to relax and worry about losing the weight months from now.” Kim has been fretting over her rapid weight gain which has already seen her bra size soar from a 36D to 36G and doctors have said the star is likely to put on more weight as she enters the third trimester of her pregnancy.

I am just trying to imagine my own aunt (an Episcopal priest) giving quotes to a magazine about how much weight I gain while pregnant. Does Joan Kardashian have an agent?

She continued: “Other than her belly which is still rather flat, every other part of her body has ballooned. And this is with Kim holding to a strict diet. Imagine if she let herself go?”

Yes, Joan. Imagine if she let herself go? Hope you still get an invitation to Thanksgiving dinner.

I also inquired with a doctor friend about the implications of one getting silicone butt injections, which are apparently illegal and a favorite on Kim’s laundry list of procedures.

Injecting free silicon was and maybe still is a bad idea, it tends to migrate and collect in areas where you don’t to want it, and it can create an intense inflammatory and scarring process that was thought to be a main cause of breast cancer for women that had free injection or leaks. She clearly is not using it for volume :) in her rear, so it is all about smoothing the cellulite dips that are very superficial, and thus less risky. 

I’d make a lousy Kardashian.

AmoreMagazine.com's Kate Casey: Secrets Behind Reality Star Appearance Fees

One of the unspoken ways celebrities get extra cash is to make personal appearances. This is the bread and butter of the reality show circuit. Brandi Glanville, for example, admitted on Howard Stern yesterday that the first season of Real Housewives of Beverly Hills she made $18,000 and this last season she made almost $140,000. Her castmates, however, made $250,000 each. This is why they make every effort to shill side projects like hair glue, extensions, eyelashes, plastic satchels, and wine. In addition night clubs will pay them a fee to show up, sit in a booth, make a toast, and get pictures taken on their step and repeat. Every time you see one of these reality stars at a club in Las Vegas know that they are getting paid to be there.

Kim Kardashian was paid an estimated $600,000 to appear at Tao on New Years Eve’s in 2011. The fee was part of a large, multi-event deal. Scott Disick commands a personal appearance fee of $100,000 to $250,000 per event. Stacy Keibler used to demand $10,000 for personal appearances, but according to party planners she now charges $25,000.

Radar Online is reporting Lindsay Lohan is being offered $200,000 to make an appearance in Dubai (and all travel expenses) to promote Mr. Pink’s Ginseng Energy Drink, though she is demanding $500,000.

Perhaps most astonishing is that Paris Hilton was paid a $100,000 personal appearance this weekend to celebrate her 32nd birthday at Peek nightclub at Harrah’s Casino in Lake Tahoe. Because I am sure your idea of a good time is paying a fee to stand in a crowd at a night club in Lake Tahoe watching her fall over on stage because she’s too wasted to stand on her own skeletal legs. Also at some point don’t you need to wrap up the night club birthday celebration? She’s been doing this for at least 12 years now. Why not mix it up with some drinks and dinner on Skid Row? What about a quiet night with friends in the county jail? Just change it up a bit?

Imagine if we got paid to show up places? Can’t say that it would be very interesting on my end. You could watch me sing Debbie Gibson’s Electric Youth in my maternity jeans.

Paris Hilton Celebrates Her Birthday In Tahoe


It was hard for her to stand up straight. It was her birthday, after all.

Kim Kardashian To Quit 'Keeping Up With The Kardashians', Focus on Family

Kim Kardashian is out on the reality show that made her the celebrity that she is today.

Kim told DuJour magazine that the upcoming ninth season of Keeping Up With The Kardashians will be her last.

Telling the mag of her recent pregnancy announcement and of her boyfriend Kanye West:

"My boyfriend has taught me a lot about privacy," she tells the magazine. "I'm ready to be a little less open about some things, like my relationships. I'm realizing everyone doesn't need to know everything."

"When you live your life so publicly, like on a reality show, people assume that they know every side of you already," she adds. "But they always want more."

Something tells her TV hiatus won't be for too long...
