Kim Kardashian arrived in NYC this morning for her final dress fitting with Vera Wang. Kim is quickly getting closer to her August 20th wedding! Fans will have to wait until October 9th and 10th however, when E! airs Kim’s Fairytale Wedding: A Kardashian Event in two one-hour episodes.

It seems Kim’s star-studded ceremony has already scored a national magazine cover as well, with reports she and Kris sold the exclusive rights to People. The Kardashian family has another reason to celebrate this week as Kim’s younger sister Kylie Jenner turns 14 today. Kylie and the other females in the family, Khloe, Kourtney, and Kendall, are to be involved on the big day, and it’s rumored Kim’s bridesmaids will wear Alexander McQueen.

Bethenny Frankel is one busy woman these days! While she’s seriously considering having another baby, she’s also raising 15-month-old daughter Bryn Casey – and her Skinnygirl empire is growing like crazy!

“[Skinnygirl] Sangria is like my second child,” Frankel, 40, told PEOPLE during the New York City launch party on Wednesday. “This is my work baby [and Bryn], that’s my real baby.”

Happily following in Frankel’s footsteps, Bryn is already showing a flair for fashion.

“She likes to play with my shoes and play with my jewelry,” the proud mama laughs. “She puts the jewelry on, the bracelets up her arm.”

But in between baby and her work commitments, Frankel still finds plenty of time to keep her relationship with husband Jason Hoppy exciting.

“Lingerie always does the trick,” she reveals, adding Hoppy is “happy” with whatever his wife wears. ”It can be 15 sizes too big and it could be brown and he’ll still love it. It’s like what I say to Bryn, ‘You get what you get and you don’t get upset.’”

Have you guys ever tried her Skinnygirl Margarita? It’s not bad, actually! Pretty tasty!

The end is near! The newest cover of Entertainment Weekly we get a sneak peek at a married Edward and Bella clutching in ecstasy.

The finale of Twilight has been broken down into two films, the first of which will be released on November 18th.

Kirsten has that typical “duh” look on her face, and we get a glimpse Edward’s wedding ring!

Kristen on the end of Twilight: “It’s just so strange, I can’t get over it.”
Kristen on the wedding scenes: “It’s a trip to watch the wedding scenes especially. It was so volatile and emotional — I was being such a crazy person.”

Robert on how Edward rips apart a pillow in a passionate moment: “I wanted to have it as a line so much, ‘I bit through all the pillows. Every. Single. One.’ And then [Edward would] start crying. By the way, that’s what he should be ashamed of in the morning. All those beautiful pillows! Egyptian cotton! ‘I ruined this bed!’”

Robert on how Edward and Bella discover her pregnancy: “They shock each other. For a saga which is about eternal, undying love that nothing can touch, suddenly…

Kristen interjects: “There’s one thing that can. That was fun to play. Bella’s always liked him and liked everything he said and thought; everything he did was right. This is something that she clearly disagrees with. She doesn’t mindlessly and blindly follow him. She was always kind of defiant. I like that.”

Robert frankly assessing Edward’s character: “Look, there are a lot of moments when Edward sort of acts like a p*ssy. I mean, throughout the whole series.”

It’s been so long since I read the books – that I’m actually looking forward to seeing the movies. I won’t be disappointed like I was with New Moon and Eclipse. Maybe I can just enjoy them for the crappy movies they really are.

Should Sesame Street’s Bert and Ernie get married? The number of people who think so is growing.

A petition started by Lair Scott, exhorts the makers of Sesame Street to let the two old friends get married. Gay marriage became legal in New York this June, increasing the number of states in the country to do so to six.

The petition letter reads:

In this horrific age of LGBT kids taking their own lives, they need to know that they ARE BEAUTIFUL and their lives are worth living. Aside from those that are committing suicide, the bullies that facilitate these tragedies need to learn that homophobia is NOT okay. They need to know that acceptance of their fellow human beings would indeed plant a seed of peace that will reverberate throughout the world. We are not asking that Sesame Street do anything crude or disrespectful by allowing Bert & Ernie to marry. It can be done in a tasteful way. Let us teach tolerance of those that are different. Let Sesame Street and PBS Kids be a big part in saving many worthy lives.

The puppets have been rumored to be a quiet representation of a gay couple, though the network denies this.

Reactions have been mixed. The NY Daily News said

“Folks who want a gay marriage for Bert and Ernie of ‘Sesame Street’ need to get over themselves,” went on to say:

“Why stop there? Why not march Yogi Bear and Boo Boo down the aisle, too?… Some stages of life – for example, the years from 2 to 4 – must be walled off from the passions of adults.”

Alyssa Rosenberg at Think Progress agrees, but for different reasons. If Bert and Ernie were gay, she would be all for a marriage, but Rosenberg has a problem with same-sex roommates being equated with gay couples.

“I think it’s actively unhelpful to gay and straight men alike to perpetuate the idea that all same-sex roommates, be they puppet or human, must necessarily be a gay couple,” Rosenberg wrote. “Having close, affectionate friendships with another man doesn’t mean that you two are sleeping together.”

Greg Kelly said on “Good Day NY” this morning that there are clear signs Bert and Ernie straight, but that he got tripped up by the picture on Bert and Ernie’s wall.

“It’s clearly a roommate situation,” Kelly said. “They sleep in separate beds, the wardrobe, grooming.”

He continued.

“However, they do have a picture of themselves on the wall, which would suggest, well, unusual behavior,” Kelly said. “Not unusual, but that they… never mind.”

Twitter is just starting to buzz with reactions. Many are encouraging circulating the petition, some are incredulous and others are having a laugh — one user quipped that Batman and Robin should be first.

Since its start in 1969, Sesame Street has traditionally taken on difficult subjects in an effort to educate children, including divorce, tolerance of racial diversity, and real life disasters like Hurricane Katrina and the September 11, 2001 attacks.

Recently, Archie Comics introduced its first gay character, Kevin Keller, in “Veronica.” The first same-sex marriage on daytime TV occurred in 2009, on the soap opera “All My Children.”

So what’s your opinion? Should Bert and Ernie get married?

Earlier this week, Lindsay Lohan was spotted outside a restaurant in Venice Beach with a group of friends, and if you ask me – it sure looks like she’s buying drugs – in broad daylight – without even trying to hide it. She holds a sandwich baggie full of crystals, etc – looks at it – and eventully seems to hand him some money (but it’s hard to tell, lots of scrambling around).

According to RadarOnline – Lindsay’s publicist is fuming.

Lindsay Lohan is firing back at reports that she was spotted in Venice Beach yesterday buying something that looked suspiciously like an illegal substance from someone that gave her a Ziploc baggie.

Lindsay powerhouse publicist, Steve Honig has denied his client was doing anything wrong and blamed the paparazzi agency that took the video as: “Knowingly and consciously making inferences about Lindsay that are completely untrue, and creating a fictitious story to get more people to visit their site.

“We were not given a chance to comment on this story before it went up, and no effort was made to gather the facts about what actually occurred.

“When I addressed this with the agency, they told me ‘we’re not the New York Times.’ They have made a horrific mistake; the worst part is, they know it but don’t care.”

So….. What WAS the suspicious looking substance in question?

RadarOnline.com has exclusively learned that the plastic bag did indeed contain various rocks and crystals — but they were all of the legal variety – sea jasper, a meteor, rose quartz and quartz, all purchased by her pal from a store down the street.

Watch the video of the incident below!

I don’t know if I buy it – do you? Was Lindsay being innocent?

She looks absolutely gorgeous! Kate Moss is Vogue’s September cover girl – and she looks stunning.

Here is a bit from the interview, which you can read in full here!

On becoming engaged to husband Jamie Hince:

After a romantic trip to Thailand two years into their liaison, Kate recalls, “we were just so loved up, and he asked me to marry him every day.” But it was curling up together in front of the compelling British television documentary series Big Fat Gypsy Weddings that appears to have sealed the deal. “I am so romantic about Gypsies,” Kate explains. “They’re not allowed to do anything until they get married. So they all get married really young, at sixteen. You can’t believe the dresses. They’re like blinging butterflies times ten; they can’t move down the aisle! It’s so genius. I was just watching Jamie, so cute, and I was like, these girls, they just spend their whole life waiting for that day—let’s do it!”

On the wedding-planning pressures:

In the pictures you can feel the love, but off-camera nerves are fragile. The groom-to-be “is terrified,” says Kate. His prospective bride is in denial. “Let’s put it this way,” she says. “If I didn’t have my friends. . . . I don’t know how people do it. I’ve had big birthday parties, and I’ve thrown parties for other people, but this is a completely different thing. It’s the Met Ball! Because you have to look at every piece of cutlery; the details are intense. And then you wake up thinking about the ballet shoes for the girls; is the satin ribbon right? I’ve gone mental. Jamie thinks I’m mad, asking, ‘Are you gonna be all right? After the wedding, I’m hoping you’ll get back to normal!’”

On the wedding tone she tried to set:

“I wanted it to be kind of dreamy and 1920s, when everything is soft-focus,” says Kate. “The Great Gatsby. The code name was GG for a while. That light and that kind of fun decadence. It’s rock-’n’-roll Great Gatsby!” There will be Edwardian marquees in her field and a circus tent for the children, with a miniature drum kit and their own DJ and tepees for them to sleep in. A stage is being built by hand, “which I’m going to keep for festivals for the future,” she explains.

On Kate’s daughter, Lila Grace:

Lila Grace is very much in control as she corrals the other children and then executes some dance moves to entertain them (she has a ballet performance on the weekend). Her mother’s friends laughingly compare her to Absolutely Fabulous’s Saffy, the studious, long-suffering daughter to Kate’s giddy Edina. “Mummy, are you stressed?” she asks solicitously at one point.

On her gorgeous wedding dress:

In the flurry of pre-wedding madness and nerves, the one thing that is keeping Kate sane is the dress. With characteristic loyalty, she has asked her beleaguered friend John Galliano to work on this. “When I put the dress on, I’m really happy,” says Kate. “I forget about everything.” She wanted “a classic Galliano, those chiffon thirties kind. I’ve lived in his dresses for years, and they just make me feel so comfortable. But it’s so much more couture, couture, couture. Oh, my God, the work that’s going into the dress!” They discussed everything on the phone, and then, when John was out of rehab for the first of four marathon fittings, he brought her “bags full of bits, and pulled tulle and sequins and veils and flowers out. And then we just kind of pinned things together, like the old days, you know?”
