Is there a Middleton-Kardashian feud brewing? Probably not, but the celebrity gossip rumor mill is swirling after Kim’s overtures toward meeting the Duchess in the UK and Kate allegedly giving her the Heisman. Here’s how it went down, supposedly: Kim is “obsessed” with Kate and ” desperately wanted to hang out ” while she was launching her new Kollection. This much is true. In early November, Kim said she wanted to get together with Kate in London: “I’d call her up and ask her to lunch. She’s amazing.” This got back to Kate, according to an insider: “Kate can’t stand their style, and from what she knows about their TV show, it’s just a bunch of trashy people primping and yelling at each other,” the source dished. Certainly hard to argue that point. “She’s far too polite to diss Kim to her face, but she’s got enough on her plate without having tea with the Kardashians or someone like them.” In short … trash by association. “The royal family is very careful. The Duchess gets free clothes sent to her every day of the week, and she always sends them back,” the palace mole goes on. “She doesn’t want to appear she is endorsing any product. It’s not proper. Quite apart from that, the Kardashian outfits just aren’t appropriate for a duchess.” Another indisputable point: “Kate is hardly going to turn up for an event with the queen in a cheap leopard-print miniskirt or gold sequined jacket!” Can you imagine if they did get together? What would they do? Talk about fashion? Men? Compare notes between the Kate Middleton topless scandal and Kim Kardashian sex tape ? We will probably never, ever know. [Photos: WENN.com]

Lindsay Lohan promoted her new Lifetime movie Liz & Dick on Good Morning America Friday, awkwardly pleading ignorance on yesterday’s big half-sister reveal. For the most part, GMA was lobbing softballs at LiLo … except when the subject of Michael Lohan’s teenage love child – confirmed by DNA test on live TV – came up: Lindsay Lohan on Good Morning America Asked what her reaction was to hearing she has a half-sister, Lindsay said “I didn’t even hear that, so thanks for the news. I don’t pay attention to any of that.” Sure. Hopefully we’ll see better acting from Lindsay Lohan as Elizabeth Taylor in Liz & Dick than we just did in the Good Morning America studio.

Breaking Dawn Part 2 is off and running. The final installment of The Twilight Saga grossed $30.4 million combined at Thursday night and midnight showings this morning. Impressive? Yes. A record? Not quite. Last year’s Breaking Dawn Part 1 garnered a franchise-high $30.3 million solely from midnight screenings from around the nation, for example. And Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 took in $43.5 million from that same time slot alone.

Last January, when director Lucky McKee debuted his latest horror pic, The Woman (about a family man who traps and imprisons a feral lady he finds in the woods) at the Sundance Film Festival , he got quite the audience reaction; one moviegoer fainted during the film’s brutal denouement, and another stood up at the post-film Q&A to berate McKee over the film’s value. Today, we’ve got the first trailer for the controversial pic; watch it and decide — does The Woman appear to be a work of “art” or “bullshit”?
