Celebrity Gossip: Playboy's Halloween Bash to Raise Money for Wounded Warrior Project

Kourtney Kardashian, who stars on the reality show Keeping Up With the Kardashians, is experiencing the joy of being pregnant for the first time and expecting a little boy in a few months. Her joy turned to anger and sadness as she learned that her home in Calabasas, California was burglarized. Someone made off with more than $100,000 worth of jewelry from her home. Some of the jewelry is vintage pieces that were given to her by her late father Robert Kardashian. Thankfully, the reality star was not home at the time the burglary took place. Her home is in a gated community and she and her boyfriend were only out to dinner when the incident happened. As of now, there are no suspects in the case and no further information is known.

After celebrating her sister-in-law’s birthday, Stephanie Pratt was arrested on suspicion of DUI. The Hills star had just left Heidi Pratt‘s (Montag) birthday party at Empire and was supposedly on her way home, when the cops pulled her over for suspicion of drunk driving. Stephanie was taken into custody and charged with a misdemeanor and then released by 10:30 am Sunday morning. Stephanie has said that she would like to leave The Hills after 10 episodes as she is getting tired of the drama on the show.

Every Halloween Playboy mogul Hugh Hefner throws a huge bash at the mansion filled with tons of scary and skimpy costumes as well as celebrities and professional athletes. This year, Hef has taken a new approach to the Halloween bash and has decided to raise money for Wounded Warrior Project which helps soldiers who have been wounded in war. The proceeds from the party will help wounded veterans who have recently served time in Iraq and Afghanistan. General admission to the party is $1,000 and VIP access will go up to $15,000. The director for the Halloween party said, “Halloween is the most sought-after night at the Mansion so it was a good opportunity to support our veterans and enjoy a great party at the same time.” As well as raising money for the wounded soldiers, approximately 40 of them will get to attend the party for free.

Celebrity Gossip: The Hills Star Poses for Playboy

Even though she claims to be a good Christian girl and is now married, that did not stop Heidi Pratt (Montag) from The Hills from posing for Playboy. Although she doesn’t appear nude in her cover or pictorial, her husband Spencer calls the photos “beautiful art.” Heidi and Spencer claim that the pictures are high class and Spencer just raves about the way that Heidi looks. In fact the couple were so proud of the Playboy cover they brought a copy of the magazine to the premiere of G.I. Joe: The Rise of the Cobra. The issue hits newsstands August 14th, which also happens to be Spencer’s birthday.

Kelly Clarkson has come out in the new issue of SELF Magazine saying that her weight does fluctuate but she is fine with her weight and never had a problem with it. Well, it appears that SELF Magazine had a problem with it. If you compare pictures of the magazine cover with recent pictures of Clarkson performing on Good Morning America only a few weeks ago, there is a dramatic difference in the way that she looks. It looks like she had about 15-20 pounds Photoshopped off her for the cover of the magazine. SELF Editor-in-Chief Lucy Danziger says that they did touch up the pictures of Kelly but no more than what they do for other celebrity cover models. In a statement she says, “Kelly Clarkson exudes confidence, and is a great role model for women of all sizes and stages of their life. She works out and is strong and healthy, and our picture shows her confidence and beauty… We love this cover and we love Kelly Clarkson.” I wonder what Kelly is thinking when she sees the pictures and how different she looks. Reminds me of the cover that Kate Winslet did for a magazine and they Photoshopped a good 15 pounds off her as well. If only Photoshop could be used in real life.

Celebrity Gossip: Heidi's Workout Video

You can add a new title to The Hills’ Heidi Pratt’s (formerly Montag) resume. She is now coming out with a workout series that she developed with trainer Chad Waterbury. She told PEOPLE that, “Staying fit is something I’m really passionate about. I work out with a strength-and-conditioning coach 90 minutes a day, five days a week” She plans on sharing her “full-body, intense resistance exercises” so that they can have a body like hers. The Heidi Workout will also feature nutritional advice such as avoiding “white” carbohydrates and filling up on lean protein and vegetables instead. When Pratt first went to Waterbury, she did not want to lose weight, but she wanted to gain curves in the right places. “When she came to me her butt was really flat and she wanted to make it bigger,” says Waterbury. “Now, it’s nice, shapely and round.” You can catch a glimpse of Heidi when the September issue of Playboy comes out in which Heidi graces the cover.

Rapper Lil Wayne is being sued for nearly half a million dollars for not showing up to one of his scheduled performances in the Bahamas. Apparently the rapper was sleeping instead of singing. Red City Entertainment is claiming that they fronted $432,000 for a special concert that Lil Wayne was to perform on September 22, 2008. After giving the rapper a $210,000 advance, he was a no-show and was found to be passed out in his hotel room instead. The balance of the lawsuit is for the payment of Lil Wayne’s hotel room, his expenses, and the cost involved in throwing a failed concert which included refunds to concert goers. A rep for Lil Wayne has not commented on the suite.

It appears that actress Patricia Arquette has changed her mind about her estranged husband Thomas Jane. The actress has called off the divorce that she filed for back in January.

We will see how long before she is filing papers again, or has the couple really worked things out?
