Kim Kardashian Eyes Pop Superstardom In 2011

One of MTV News’ 11 for ’11, we can barely keep up with this Kardashian as she aims for the music charts. By Jocelyn Vena Kim Kardashian Photo: Getty Images Since becoming a reality TV star, Kim Kardashian has branched out to become quite the mogul thanks to clothing, perfume and book deals. Now Kim is at work on yet another venture, heading into the world of pop music. Could 2011 be the year Kim becomes as well known for her bangin’ music as her bangin’ figure? We don’t know yet but it makes her one of MTV News’ 11 for ’11. After Kim was spotted hanging out with Kanye West last fall, fans began to wonder if West and the “Keeping Up With the Kardashians” star might be working on music together . “[Kanye’s] a musical genius, so I would be honored to work with Kanye,” Kim told MTV News of a possible collaboration. “It’s all in fun. We’re just trying to have a good time.” Kardashian soon hit the studio with Kanye. She got some encouragement from her pal, Ciara , who also confirmed that the The-Dream was onboard to make music with the reality starlet. On New Year’s Eve, partygoers at Tao in Las Vegas got to jam to Kim’s first single, “Turn It Up.” . While she has Hype Williams directing her first music video, Kim is still playing shy about her intentions in the music industry. “You’re going to have to wait and watch the show,” she said about the upcoming “Kourtney & Kim Take New York.” It’s kind of in [Ciara’s] world and not mine. … I’m having fun — that’s all I’ll say, but you’ll definitely see it all unfold on the show.” Do you think Kim has what it takes to make it as a pop star?

Bret Michaels Says Engagement ‘Feels Awesome’

‘It may be the longest engagement in history, but my intentions are good,’ Poison frontman jokes. By Jocelyn Vena Bret Michaels Photo: Kevin Mazur/WireImage It’s been quite a year for Bret Michaels. He worked with Miley Cyrus twice, suffered a serious subarachnoid hemorrhage , won “Celebrity Apprentice” and denied having an affair with Miley’s mom, Tish . Now he’s ended the year on a high note, asking his longtime girlfriend, Kristi Gibson, to marry him . “They swore I was the guy who would never,” he told People.com about finally deciding to put a ring on the finger of his girlfriend of nearly two decades. “And it feels awesome.” The proposal, which aired on Monday night’s finale of his show, “Bret Michaels: Life as I Know It,” wasn’t easy to time, according to the Poison rocker, who noted that some people thought it might happen at the couple’s anniversary dinner. “I wasn’t ready there because I felt really strange,” he explained. “It would’ve been like, I’m in the middle of proposing and oh, by the way, there’s a Cobb salad coming.” Michaels admits that while his proposal didn’t end up being as epic as he imagined it would be, it worked for them. “In my mind, it wasn’t supposed to happen like that — I wanted it to be a little more like the movies, where the white horse gallops up and all that stuff. But when Kristi said, ‘I don’t need this ring, I don’t need the piece of paper, I love you no matter what,’ she took the pressure off,” he said. “She used reverse psychology on me and it worked!” Instead of getting Gibson a new piece of bling, the couple will update her “friendship ring with mega benefits.” He jokingly added, “It may be the longest engagement in history, but my intentions are good.” Related Photos Bret Michaels’ Career In Photos Related Artists Bret Michaels

What Lunar Eclipse? A Look At The ‘Eclipse’ Cast’s Top Quotes

We pay homage to the recent astronomical event by paying homage to ‘Eclipse.’ By Jocelyn Vena Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson in “Eclipse” Photo: Summit On early Tuesday morning, astronomy freaks had the pleasure of seeing a lunar eclipse take place on the winter solstice for the first time since 1638. It certainly isn’t the first eclipse to take place this year, however. This summer, Hollywood saw a major “Eclipse” when the third film in “The Twilight Saga” was released in June. So, in honor of this week’s historic event, we take a look at some of the castmembers’ best quotes about their own “Eclipse.” Everyone was buzzing about that tent scene and it seems like it delivered. When MTV News spoke to Elizabeth Reaser about the scene, which Taylor Lautner admitted was his favorite , she had a very interesting take on the whole thing. “The tent scene is sort of a three-way — I mean, it’s a chaste three-way, but it is, nonetheless, a three-way,” Reaser said. “So I do think that ups the sexiness factor in this movie, but I don’t know. The first movie, I thought, was intensely sexy, because [Bella and Edward] couldn’t touch, and to watch them fall in love was so sexy. And I love that, in the books, they all have great chemistry. So it’s fun to watch.” Much of the Bella/Jacob love story is chaste, but as Kristen Stewart pointed out around the release of “Eclipse,” she could see why Bella would consider life with Jacob, especially during that epic battle sequence. “There’s a moment right before the big battle happens; Jacob gets emotional and crazy, and he’s gonna try and hurt himself and fight,” Stewart said about one of her favorite scenes. “And [Bella] gets to a point where the only way to save him is to kiss him, and what surprises her is, she’s not only able to do it; she can clearly see that he offers a really desirable path that, before, because she was so obsessed with Edward … she just had to like nothing else. She had no perspective, and so it’s a moment.” Robert Pattinson apparently doesn’t enjoy filming action sequences for the “Twilight” movies, but he said he had less of a problem with the ones in “Eclipse.” “You’re always wearing skinny jeans, a little blazer and a kind of woolen sweater and trying to act like you’re tough,” he laughed. “You just know it’s not going to happen. For some reason, I felt a lot more comfortable with the action stuff this time.” Of course, no “Twilight” movie would be complete without seeing Jacob shirtless, and Lautner admitted that disrobing for this film was a lot easier than in the series’ previous installment. “It’s better when it’s warmer,” Lautner joked . ” ‘Eclipse’ was better than ‘New Moon’ because we filmed it in the summer. But it’s still a little different when I’m the only person on set with a shirt off.” Related Videos ‘The Twilight Saga: Eclipse’ Clips ‘Eclipse’ Hits New York City Related Photos ‘The Twilight Saga: Eclipse’

Bret Michaels Proposes To Longtime Girlfriend

Poison frontman popped the question on his VH1 reality show ‘Bret Michaels: Life as I Know It.’ By Jayson Rodriguez Bret Michaels Photo: Ethan Miller/ Getty Images Bret Michaels and his girlfriend finally hit the right note. The “Rock of Love” and “Celebrity Apprentice” star proposed to his on-again, off-again companion of 16 years, Kristi Gibson, during the finale of his latest VH1 reality show, “Bret Michaels: Life as I Know It.” The episode centered on the couple’s anniversary and whether or not Michaels would pop the question. The Poison singer hinted at his intentions during an appearance on “The Wendy Williams Show.” “I bought you that ring, not to be a friendship with benefits … we’ve had that for a while,” Michaels told Gibson, the mother of his two daughters, as he proposed. “It’s just one of those things. “I love you and I respect you and you’ve been through so much with me,” he continued. “It means something to me.” Just last month, Michaels made headlines when he was named the possible reason behind Disney star Miley Cyrus’ parents’ divorce . The singer emphatically denied the allegations, however, explaining that he is just a friend of the family. “I’ve been friends with her family forever,” Michaels explained during a TV appearance. “It started out with me and Miley simply working on a song together. Her mom, Tish, likes ‘Every Rose Has Its Thorn,’ the first concert Miley ever saw was Poison, and so they wanted to remake it for the new record. … When I was in the studio, Miley came in and sang on my song … and that was it.” Earlier this year, Michaels landed in the hospital twice for emergency surgeries. The Rock star recovered and eventually went on to an inspiring win on Donald Trump’s “Celebrity Apprentice.” Related Photos Bret Michaels’ Career In Photos Related Artists Bret Michaels

Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar: Planning Baby #20?

Arkansans Michelle and Jim Bob Duggar have, obviously, always been open about their intentions to raise children – we’re talking about a lot of children. But the stars of TLC’s 19 Kids and Counting faced near tragedy with their 19th child’s premature birth, leading many observers to conclude that was it. Not so fast. The couple, whose baby Josie Duggar was hospitalized for six months with a perforated bowel and rare digestive problems, are considering a 20th child . “Our family is stronger than ever,” Jim Bob Duggar, 45, and Michelle Duggar, 43, tell People in its new cover story . “We made it through the storm.” That’s not to say it’s an easy call. Born months early after Michelle’s pregnancy-induced high blood pressure, Josie’s life has been in danger throughout. “When she first came home, I couldn’t sleep at all,” Michelle said. “That was the scariest part, the full responsibility of her care on my shoulders.” Similarly daunting are the medical risks Michelle could face with another pregnancy – particularly a return of preeclampsia (high blood pressure), which can lead to a stroke or prove fatal. But the pair vow to stick to their beliefs. “People think we are overpopulating the world,” says Jim Bob, a real estate agent and former Arkansas State Legislature member, in response to critics of his large but debt-free family. “We are following our convictions.” Should Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar have a 20th baby?

Arkansas AD: ‘No Interest In Joining Another Conference’

If Arkansas is, in fact, considering a move west to the Big 12, they’re certainly doing a bang-up job of hiding their intentions. Athletic director Jeff Long’s statement would seem to leave no wiggle room for speculation: In recent weeks and months, there has been much national dialogue regarding conference affiliation in intercollegiate athletics. In the course of that dialogue, some have suggested that the University of Arkansas was an institution that may be pursued by other conferences. From the beginning, we have been very clear that the University of Arkansas is a proud member of the Southeastern Conference and has no interest in joining another conference. Chancellor [Dave] Gearhart has been unwavering in his support of our institution’s continued membership in the SEC. Recent events have not in any way altered our commitment or desire to remain a member of what we believe is the strongest conference in the nation. For the uninitiated, these rumors show up with comfortable regularity ’round Fayetteville way this time of year,

Clash of the Titans Premiere: Worthington on Dracula, Hamlin on Worthington, and Much More

Last night, Movieline’s intrepid red carpet correspondent Carly Steel hit up the premiere of Clash of the Titans , and while she wasn’t able to talk to any Kraken (once you release those buggers, they never show up where you want them), she did interrogate a host of stars including Sam Worthington, Jeffrey Dean Morgan, Danny Huston, and original Titans star Harry Hamlin. Watch in the video below as Worthington states his intentions to get a new Dracula project off the ground, and Hamlin very graciously handles a jab from Worthington about how Hamlin’s original take on the role was too fey. (Sam, you’d be lucky to turn into the silver fox Harry Hamlin has apparently become.)
