How is the world NOT burnt out on this reality celebu-tard?

Among other things, Kim Kardashian will now be the official rep of Fusion Beauty.

The company is known for their collagen lip plump in 2005 and are now going for the cheeks with a lightweight blush that stimulates you skin's collagen production, resulting in plumper and smoother face.

Their new ass face says of the beauty brand:

"FusionBeauty is a smart, sexy, forward-thinking company that continues to push the boundaries of the beauty industry. I deeply admire them for their beauty innovations and commitment to philanthropy, and I'm so excited to represent a brand that I have been a long time fan of."

Sure you have, Kim.

So long as they wave a paycheck of some sort in your face you'll say and agree to do anything.

This is getting out of control.

The Kardashian sisters are proving that they'll attach their name to anything so long as there's a paycheck involved!

Now the trio will be the faces of PerfectSkin, a three-step skin care system. Hmm, so a cheaper version of Proactiv.

Kim Kardashian says of her new product:

"I have literally tried everything out there and nothing even comes close to PerfectSkin. It’s easier and more effective than anything else I’ve tried, and they are the only skin care products I use."

Kourtney adds:

"I had a vanity full of products that claimed to do this and do that, but it was so confusing trying to combine dozens of products to create the right regimen. PerfectSkin takes the guesswork out of my routine and makes my skin look and feel gorgeous."

And finally Khloe comes in to finish the sale by saying:

"Other products cost ten times as much but don’t deliver the results thatPerfectSkinTM delivers and it shows. These products are so luxurious. I get so many compliments on my skin now, and it’s all thanks to PerfectSkin."

Those testimonials were just as scripted as Keeping Up With The Kardashians.

We can't wait to see how overly photoshopped those ads are going to be!

Just last week, we mentioned how Coach was suing Kmart after discovering the retail chain was selling merchandise resembling the company's trademarked "C"s logo.

Coach argued that Kmart's luggage was "found to be counterfeit merchandise," with a "confusingly similar" design, quality, craftsmanship that "does not meet Coach's high quality standards".

And if that was the case with Coach, we have a feeling Dooney & Bourke might soon be opening a case of their own.

Though maybe not against Kmart alone, but against handbags by Attention.

Kmart is currently selling Attention handbags and wallets in zebra print. And the bags with the leather, burgundy handles look very similar to D&B's collection.

The main difference?

D&B's handbag collection, pictured in the above two images, range anywhere from $165 to $395, while the purses Kmart's selling, last two images, don't go for more than $20.

What do U think? Just a coincidence? Or a clear copy of Dooney & Bourke's purses?

As Stussy surges forward for its 30th anniversary “XXX” collection, the brand unveils what is arguably its strongest roster of collaborators with Group 2. The involved parties include some heavyweight Japanese brands such as Bounty Hunter and Neighborhood, the venerable Supreme, the Australian brand PAM, artist CLAW and two retailers, The Hideout and SlamJam. In addition, we conducted a short Q+A with one of Stussy’s creative forces, Paul Mittleman. Group 2 of Stussy’s 30th Anniversary XXX collection will release on Saturday March 20th at Stussy.com as well as Stussy Chapter Stores around the world.

Annie Leibovitz can breathe a sigh of relief now.

The celebrity photographer has inked a deal with private equity firm Colony Capital to help clear her debts, without selling the right to her pictures.

Annie says of the new deal "We will be working on new projects and I will have the support and freedom necessary for nurturing my work and preserving my archive."

In other words, they're finding out ways to dig her out of that $24 million dollar hole she's in, which includes a traveling exhibition of the photog's pictures as well as a book series to showcase her work.

Lucky break, Annie!

[HMG] – In another sad case of mindless extortion, Robert Halderman, the CBS producer who tried to steal $2-million from Late Show host, David Letterman over a screenplay has just pleaded guilty and faces six months in jail.

Halderman, 51, a former ‘48 Hours’ producer, was expected to speak for several minutes at today’s hearing and finally admit to extorting the late night host over his affair with Halderman’s girlfriend, 35-year old Stephanie Birkitt.

To recap, last October Halderman saw David and Stephanie making out in the drive of her home. He then wrote a ’screenplay’ about a talk-show host who slept with female employees and tried to sell it to Dave for $2-million. The cops promptly set up a sting and the incompetent crook was arrested as he tried to cash the fake check.

Today, Halderman faced a judge in Manhattan’s Supreme Court and copped a plea to second-degree larceny. He was  then sentenced to six months in jail, 1,000 hours of community service and four-and-a-half years probation.

With good behavior he should only serve sixteen weeks behind bars.

People who know Halderman tell the Post his crime was largely driven by his ex-wife moving their children to Colorado, the extremely high monthly child support he was then ordered to pay, and the fact that his girlfriend – despite swearing to him there was no affair – was still eagerly sleeping with her married CBS boss.

After the arrest in October, Dave shocked his Late Show’s fans by admitting not only the blackmail, but also that he had slept with other unmarried staffers.

“No, I’m not having sex with any staff members currently,” he said bluntly. “You can’t be victimized by criminals.”

Today, with the case now concluded, the 61-year old host released a brief statement;

“I would like to thank the District Attorney of Manhattan, the former DA, the Special Prosecutions Bureau and the NYPD,” it reads. “When they became involved I had complete faith that a just and appropriate result was inevitable. On behalf of my family, I am extremely grateful for their tireless efforts.”

Halderman  is now expected to begin serving his sentence sometime in May. The adulterous girlfriend, however, faces no blame at all…
