For celebs, making money off your name gets easier all the time. Now Kim Kardashian, Nicole Richie and husband Joel Madden and Audrina Patridge have signed endorsement deals for their Twitter accounts.

The Wrap reports L.A. based ad agency Ad.ly has set up a new viral marketing strategy that hooks up famous names with advertisers and pays them for the number of followers on Twitter who view their ads. Ad.ly publicist Kyle Hulcher explained, “It’s an easy way to make money. It’s a natural fit for celebrities because the more people who read you the more money you can make—and they tend to have the most followers.” Too bad we unknown folks can’t make money that easily.

They’ve had their ups and downs as a couple, but it looks like Kim Kardashian and Reggie Bush are serious this time around. E! reports both are selling their pads so they can buy a new love nest together!

While Kim’s condo has been on the market for a while, now her beau’s crib is also up for sale—for $5.1 million. A source blabbed to E!, “They are looking for a bigger place to live together.” Bigger than Reggie’s four bed-five bath mansion? That will be some major piece of real estate!

Kim Kardashian and mom Kris Jenner did some last-minute shopping for Halloween costumes at Trashy Lingerie in West Hollywood, CA. I’ll bet the Kardashians are planning a big party for the weekend!

Kourtney and Kim Kardashian met with family at Kate Mantilini restaurant in Beverly Hills for Kim’s 29th birthday lunch yesterday. Kim later had had a big birthday dinner at the newly-opened Phillipe Chow restaurant on Melrose in West Hollywood.

Reality star Kim Kardashian turned 29 today, but wasn’t happy about the prospect at first. Yesterday, she Twittered, “Why am I not excited about my birthday tomorrow…?” Maybe 29 is too close to 30?

But Kim had a change of heart today, as the greetings—and presents—began to some in. “Thank you so much for all of your birthday wishes. My bday keeps getting better and better!” One thing Kim won’t be getting for her birthday is baby clothes. The new issue of Life&Style claims Kim is expecting, but a friend told Us Weekly that the story’s not true. “No way!!! The article says she want a family one day after she’s married!” Hey, Kim—that’s something you can save for your big 3-0 next year.

Kim, Khloe and Kourtney Kardashian splurged on baby accessories at Belle Bambini on chic Robertson Blvd. in Los Angeles, CA. Kourtney is expecting a boy, while Khloe has said she wants to get pregnant soon!

Khloé and Kourtney Kardashian shot some scenes for their reality show “Keeping Up with The Kardashians” at their Dash Boutique in Calabasas, CA.

Leave it to a reality show star to turn a simple chore into a photo op. Kim Kardashian filled up her luxurious black Bentley in Calabasas, CA. Nice boots, Kim!

The Kardashians, including Kim, Kourtney, brother Rob and mom Kris, filmed their reality show at the Cosmos Grill in Calabasas, CA. This family is so huge and busy, “Keeping Up With The Kardashians” is a full-time job!

Kim and Kourtney Kardashian were beautiful bridesmaids at the pre-wedding dinner for sis Khloe Kardashian and Lamar Odom at Lobster in Santa Monica, CA, on Saturday night. Kourtney showed off her baby bump in a fitted satin dress.

Kim Kardashian was solo at the pre-wedding dinner for sis Khloe Kardashian and Lamar Odom at Lobster in Santa Monica, CA on Saturday night, but numerous sources are reporting she’s gotten back together with former beau Reggie Bush.

Newly single Kim Kardashian was spotted hanging out with Jessica Simpson at the Ken Paves birthday bash at Beso Restaurant in Hollywood. Were they dishing the dirt on their exes?

Someone doesn’t want the Kardashians to open their new fashion shops—and is sending them a message.

First. the Miami location of their new Dash boutique was sprayed with graffiti. Then mom Kris went to open the Calabasas location to find “We [heart] you, Kim!” painted on the window.

Sis Khloe took to her blog to bemoan the situation. “Ok dolls, I have some pretty ridiculous news — our LA Dash was vandalized!  THE ONE YESTERDAY seemed obviously gang-related and had nothing to do with us…today the one in Calabasas was most likely intentional since people know it is our store. 

“This morning when my mom went to open the store, she found that it had been graffitied with more or less the same stuff that the Miami store had.  Luckily we have security cameras so we will investigate and hopefully find the people who did this…the police are at the store as we speak. 

“I hope the disgusting people who did this know that these little activities of theirs don’t discourage us.  We are no less excited for the opening of our Miami store.  Yes, this is DEFINITELY a bump in the road, but it’s a small bump in the grand scheme of things.  It’s disappointing, but certainly not discouraging!  A little graffiti won’t bring us Kardashian women down!!!  LOL.”

Maybe the Kardashian ladies should look around at the competition, and see if anyone looks suspicious. On the other hand, this gets press for their new E! TV series, and that never hurts.

Thursday was a great day to be a tourist as both Heidi Klum and Kim Kardashian took to the streets of Beverly Hills for photo shoots. Heidi kept her supermodel cool, even when surrounded by the frenzied crowd. We don’t know what Kim’s posing for—Car & Driver, maybe?

Some women would be less than thrilled to have their unretouched photos released to the public but Kim Kardashian doesn’t mind. She went to her blog to discuss those before-and-after photos which appeared at Complex.com this week.

Hey guys,

So everyone has been putting up these pics from Complex Magazine showing the comparison of the original un-photoshopped photo that mistakenly was put up on complex.com. This blog even went to the trouble to make an animation of the before and after.

Complex later replaced the pic with the photoshopped version, causing all of this drama. But you know what, who cares! So what: I have a little cellulite. What curvy girl doesn’t!?

How many people do you think are photoshopped? It happens all the time! At the same time as this Complex shoot, I was gearing up for my fitness DVD and you should see my thighs now!!! Haha! This all motivates me to stay in the gym because my goal this year has been to get in better shape and tone up! Hard work pays off!

I’m proud of my body and my curves and this picture coming out is probably helpful for everyone to see that just because I am on the cover of a magazine doesn’t mean I’m perfect. You can check out more behind-the-scenes pics from the shoot right here. And they’re not retouched!

XO, Kim

It sounds like Kim has a healthier body image than most celebs these days. I’ll bet she eats more than lettuce leaves washed down with Red Bull, too. Good for her! Not all of us are meant to wear a size zero.

Voluptuous Kim Kardashian didn’t get very far on last season’s “Dancing with the Stars” but she still has warm feelings for the show and told RadarOnline how she felt about this year’s crop of ballroom hopefuls. Who has Kim picked as the front-runners?

“There are three that I think are really good. I think Shawn Johnson is so amazing. There’s something about those Olympians that they have that drive and determination. Of course she’s with my partner Mark [Ballas] who I think is amazing. Then I thought Gilles [Marini] was amazing. Cheryl was amazing and I thought they looked hot together. And then I think of Steve-O. He could be someone that really surprises everyone. And the Dallas Cowboys cheerleader ['The Bachelor'’s Melissa Rycroft] is also pretty good.”

So who’s going to win? Kim says, “I’m gonna give it up to Mark and Shawn Johnson.”

Who’s going home first? “I would say Steve [Wozniak], the Apple guy. I think he’s not gonna make it too far.”

Kim’s choices sound right-on to me. Especially since The Woz was spotted this week with one leg in a cast. He was bad enough before he was injured.

Some “actresses” would be upset if their work was nominated for one of the dreaded “Razzies” which recognize Hollywood’s worst films and acting. Not Kim Kardashian, who took to her blog to show her sense of humor about the situation.

I’m having a really good laugh over the fact that I’ve been nominated for a Razzie this year.

I had so much fun filming “Disaster Movie” and giggled the entire time during the shoot.

There is steep competition in my “worst supporting actress” category, I have to admit… including my fantastic costar Carmen Electra (you go girl!), Leelee Sobieski (what a surprise!),  Jenny McCarthy (really?) and Paris Hilton (who could technically sweep this year’s awards with a whopping three nominations!).

It’s an honor just being nominated! LOL!

 XOXO,

Kim 

Well, at least she doesn’t take herself too seriously.

Kim, Kourtney and Khloe Kardashian will be glamming up club LAX at the Luxor in Las Vegas when they host a party there tonight. Kim should look extra fabulous since she and BF Reggie Bush spent most of yesterday buying out Beverly Hills. Tickets are $150 while a table for four starts at $2,000.

Injured boyfriend Reggie Bush and his crutches waited in the car while Kim  Kardashian tried on numerous pairs of shoes at the  Christian Louboutin boutique in Beverly Hills. We doubt they had any real bargains but at least Kim’s doing her part to shore up the economy.
