Trouble in paradise?

Kim Kardashian revealed that she and on-again beau Reggie Bush have something to fight about: He takes longer to get ready than she does!

“It’s, like, our biggest fight,” she told George Lopez when the Us Weekly cover girl and sister Khloe Kardashian appeared on Lopez Tonight Tuesday.

“He’s just really indecisive on what his mood is, on what he wants to wear,” the reality star, 29, said.

Kim may have caused another fight with the 24-year-old NFL star — whom she reunited with in late September after announcing a “break” in July — when she mentioned his “really weird habit” on the late night show.

“He loves to vacuum all day — loves to!” Kim said. “He’s going to kill me for saying that.”

The Hoff is coming back to TV.

On Wednesday — about a week after he was booted from America’s Got Talent — it was announced that David Hasselhoff would star in a docu-drama on A&E later this year. The 10-episode series will feature him helping his daughters, Taylor-Ann, 19, and Hayley, 17, break into the entertainment industry.

“It’s the dream of every parent to be able to help their child succeed,” Hasselhoff, 57, says in a statement. “I told the girls that I would help them open the door when they are ready, but they would have to walk through it on their own.”

Tweeted daughter Hayley last October, “The Hasselhoffs signed the deal with A&E … Get readdyy for it.”

The former Baywatch star has appeared on camera with Hayley before. In 2007, she taped her father — who has long battled alcoholism — drunkenly eating a cheeseburger. The clip was later leaked on the Internet.

Earlier this month, a 911 tape was released in which Hayley is overheard saying, “My dad just … he’s collapsed… It’s kind of scaring me.”

Rosie O’Donnell is definitely not on Team Leno — and she has elaborate comparisons to explain why.

At Tuesday’s Manhattan screening of A Family is a Family is a Family: A Rosie O’Donnell Celebration, O’Donnell tore into Jay Leno, whose low-rated prime time show is poised to take over Conan O’Brien’s 11:35 a.m. time slot (thus leading to O’Brien’s departure).

“It was a really crappy move on Leno’s part,” O’Donnell told UsMagazine.com. “It was kind of career defining.”

O’Donnell, once a talk-show host herself, continued, “he tried to ‘Nancy Kerrigan.’ He tried to take a bat,” she said, referring to infamous 1994 incident in which Olympic skater Nancy Kerrigan was bashed in the knees with a lead pipe in an attack orchestrated by her rival Tonya Harding and Harding’s husband, Jeff Gillooly. “At least Jeff Gillooly took a pipe and [admitted] he did it.”

“He didn’t do it and go (imitating Jay Leno’s voice) ‘I don’t know who hit her.’ Gee, it was you, you’re the one who hit her right in the knee, you know?”

O’Donnell contends that Leno should claim responsibility for pushing O’Brien from his new Tonight Show post. “I think in the old days of show biz you can claim ignorance,” she says. “But today with the internet, no way. There”s no way people are going to buy the crap anymore.”

“Conan moved his family across the country and his entire staff to get a shot at what he worked 17 years for only to get it taken away by the bully on the playground who doesn’t want to let go.”

Added the comic: “I’m glad that I’m not on late night. They throw everyone to the wolves, including their own.”

The husband of Brittany Murphy says the late actress had “laryngitis and flu-like symptoms” at the time of her sudden death on Dec. 20 – but was not suffering from seizures, as has been reported.

In his first interview since his wife’s death, Simon Monjack tells People that many of the prescription medications found in their house at the time of Murphy’s death were for his own use.

Among the prescription medications reportedly on hand at the Los Angeles home were: Methylprednisolone, an anti-inflammatory, Fluoxetine, an antidepressant, Klonopin, a seizure medication, Carbamazepine, a medication to treat diabetes and also bipolar disorder, Ativan, an anxiety medication, and Vicoprofen, a pain killer.

Monjack, an oral cancer survivor, says he suffers from migraines and seizures as well as a heart condition. “I’ve had seizures,” he says. “We’re still trying to establish [why].” He says most of the medications in the Hollywood Hills home he shared with Murphy and her mother, Sharon, were for his own health issues.

He says Murphy used Vicoprofen to relieve pain from severe menstrual cramps.

“She was on an antibiotic and was taking cough medicine,” says Monjack, who believes her death was triggered by a congenital heart murmur. “No [medications] that could have possibly led to her heart attack.”

The actress’s mother, Sharon, told People that Murphy did not take drugs, and had a naturally “bubbly” personality. “She never even drank. Maybe a glass of champagne at New Years,” says Sharon. “But everyone used to say she was wasted, she was this, she was that. It was hard for anyone to imagine that somebody was so high on life.”

The results of the toxicology report to determine the cause of Murphy’s death are still pending.

Victoria Beckham may have a glam image, but she says she carpools just like any other mom.

“I drop the kids kids off, go to the gym, come back from the gym and do some work,” the designer, 34, tells Ryan Seacrest on his KIIS-FM radio show.

She says her three sons — Brooklyn, 10, Romeo, 7, and Cruz, 4 — are “so different.

“I mean, you’ve got Brooklyn, who is a real boy. He’s turning into a teenager. It takes him quite some time to do his hair in the morning before he goes to school,” she says. “Then we got Romeo, who loves fashion. He likes to go out in a suit with a bowler hat… and he’s a real fashion lover.

“And then Cruz just wants to break dance every opportunity he gets,” adds Victoria of her youngest, who famously danced on stage during his mom’s Spice Girl show in New York City in February 2008.

Dad David is in Milan playing soccer until after this summer’s World Cup, but calls in to help his kids with homework.

“The other day, I said, ‘I’m really struggling with work here, I’ve got so much going on at the house.’ I sat down Brooklyn in front of the computer, and they Skyped for 20 minutes while he did his reading,” she tells Seacrest.

Victoria says she speaks to her husband “10, 15 times a day” and tries to travel to Milan to see him, “but my priority obviously are the kids because they’re so little. This is our home and this is where we’re going to stay.”

She also hits the treadmill every day.

“I run so quick after a double espresso, my trainers are on fire! They have sparks!” she says.

Seacrest — who worked with her for last week’s premiere of American Idol — says Victoria eats “perfectly… [she says], ‘I’m getting the steamed this, the steamed that.’”

Diane Kruger put her life in the hands of director Quentin Tarantino on the set of war movie Inglourious Basterds – after agreeing to let the filmmaker choke her during a fight scene.

Kruger plays German spy Bridget von Hammersmark in the film about a group of Jewish-American Nazi killers.
In one brutal scene Kruger’s character is strangled – and Tarantino was convinced the only way to make the struggle realistic was to choke his leading lady himself.

He explains, “When you watch the film those are actually my hands that are on Diane Kruger’s throat strangling her. I made a deal with her early on. (I told her) ‘We’re gonna have to choke you if it’s gonna actually work and I don’t trust anybody but myself to do it.’ And she didn’t trust anybody but me to do it … so she was down (ok) with it but I remember talking to her about it (and saying) it’s going to be a little uncomfortable.”
