Amy Poehler Out-Delights Everyone at Time 100 Gala

If you are not already convinced that Amy Poehler is the most delightful woman on earth, then you haven’t witnessed Amy Poehler at a party. From the second she set foot inside Jazz at Lincoln Center for the Time 100 gala, Poehler turned into what could only be described as a cruise director. Here she was, grabbing Patrick McMullan to take a picture of her and Cecile Richards and all the other “kick-ass ladies” in the room. There she was, telling reporters what to write in their notebooks: “Martha Stewart arrived late, smelling of turkey.” She was on the scene when Patrick McMullan accidentally ripped the train of Blake Lively’s dress, gleefully crying out, “You ripped her dress! Patrick, you ripped her dress!” as if it were the greatest, most wonderful thing that had ever happened.
Inside the dinner, she was first and most enthusiastic to answer Bruno Mars’s calls to the crowd to get on their feet as he sang "Billionaire." She could be seen among the dinner stragglers, cornering Cory Booker and asking him if he watched The Wire. (We missed it, but we’re pretty sure she was telling him that she’d thought of the perfect character he could play on the show if they ever resurrected it for another season.) She even held court during the after-party, interrupting our interview (really nicely!) with George R.R. Martin to tell him what HUGE fans she and Seth Meyers are of Game of Thrones, and how much she loves all the nudity. As she left, among the very last guests, she kept fishing around for TV recommendations. We told her to watch The Good Wife, and since we have no reason to believe that Amy Poehler is not the most awesome human ever, we think she probably will.
Oh, and she also gave the best toast of the night. Poehler was introduced by Time executive editor Jim Frederick and was preceded by preacher Rob Bell. Here's what she said.

Well when I met Jim five minutes ago, I told him, “Move over! I’m a righty. And don’t let me follow a preacher.” Thanks for nothing, Jim. When Seth Meyers from Saturday Night Live and I hosted this awards show in 2008, I remember thinking it would be really nice if we were to make this list together. And tonight, I am happy to say that it is just as sweet making the list without him. I have so much influence; I am lousy with influence. I am what you call a connector. Bruno Mars is not here, but if he was, he would meet Aziz Ansari tonight, because I would introduce them. Chris Colfer, have you ever met Martha Stewart? Because I can I make that happen. Jonathan Franzen and Patti Smith are sitting at the same table. I know that because I’m on the list. If you shook my hand tonight, you might not want to drive home because you may be pulled over for a DUI. [Editor's note: This was her recycling a joke she’d used on us earlier in the evening ... Still delightful!] But tonight, I’m genuinely very humbled and honored to be part of this evening, so I would like to take my remaining minute to um … I have thought very hard and long about what has influenced me over the past couple of years, and since I have been at this dinner in 2008, I have given birth to two boys and I’ve left Saturday Night Live and I started my own TV show, and it’s been a crazy couple of years, and I thought who besides Madam Secretary Clinton and Lorne Michaels have influenced me? And it was the women who helped me take care of my children. It is Jackie Johnson from Trinidad and it is Dawa Chodon from Tibet, who come to my house and help me raise my children. And for you working women who are out there tonight who get to do what you get to do because there are wonderful people who help you at home, I would like to take a moment to thank those people, some of whom are watching their children right now, while you’re at this event. Those are people who love your children as much as you do, and who inspire them and influence them and on behalf of every sister and mother and person who stands in your kitchen and helps you love your child, I say thank you and I celebrate you tonight.

Jessica Alba Honestly Thinks She’s a Good Actress. Honest.

 

Apparently somewhere along the way, someone, somewhere, convinced Jessica Alba that she’s an actual, honest to goodness actress who isn’t just another pretty face. Look, I get it — some dude wanted to get in her pants and told her some big fat lies. But apparently it stuck, because from what we’ve been hearing from Jessica Alba lately is that she’s, uh, a really good actress who hasn’t really gotten the right parts to show off her wares yet. Or if she has, she’s been torpedoed either by bad writing or bad directors.

In an interview with Elle Magazine this month, Alba famously opined this on the topic of screenwriters and what it means to be a “good actor”:

Good actors, never use the script unless it’s amazing writing. All the good actors I’ve worked with, they all say whatever they want to say. Lest you think Alba was misquoted, she goes on to declare how bad directors have similarly clashed with her acting:

    I remember when I was dying in ‘Silver Surfer. The director was like, ‘It looks too real. It looks too painful. Can you be prettier when you cry?… Don’t do that thing with your face. Just make it flat. We can CGI the tears in.’

    It all got me thinking Am I not good enough? Are my instincts and my emotions not good enough? Do people hate them so much that they don’t want me to be a real person?… And so I just said, ‘F*** it. I don’t’ care about this business anymore.

Screenwriter John August (“Big Fish”, “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory “) took offense to her first quote about good scripts, writing on his blog:

 Following your logic, you’ve never been in a movie with both good actors and amazing writing. That may be true, but it might hurt the feelings of David Wain, Robert Rodriguez and Frank Miller.

Again, I get it, Jessica Alba is desired and famous and she’s surrounded by Yes men and women who have convinced her she’s the greatest thing since sliced bread. I don’t blame her, but to go so publicly and say this stuff? Someone’s really been blowing lies in the girl’s ear.

Although, it could explain why she did Michael Winterbottom’s “The Killer Inside Me”, where she played a prostitute who gets murdered. That is probably her most daring and most “actress”-ish role to date. (And no, I don’t consider playing a stripper who never actually strips in “Sin City” to be very risque whatsoever.) The rest of her filmography? Not exactly signs that someone wants to be taken seriously as an actress, or someone who “just say whatever they want to say”. I’m just sayin’.

Below, Jessica flashes the acting skills to pay the bills:

Diane Lane - Diane Lane Talks About Superman: Man of Steel

DIANE Lane has dished the dirt on new movie Superman: Man of Steel — revealing the flick will cover the superhero’s life from his childhood.
The actress — who has been cast as the caped crusader’s adoptive mother Martha Kent in the upcoming film — says she was locked in a room with the script for three hours to ensure the plot remains a secret — but still revealed that Superman’s origins will be covered.
“I read the script under lock and key. I was locked in a room with the script and was only allowed three hours with it. I nailed it into my memory. I’m really excited,” Diane explained.
“I’m really not allowed to talk much about it, I think, but it does cover the entire range of years, from infancy on.”
The brunette beauty is set to star alongside Henry Cavill in the movie which is being directed by Zack Snyder.
Diane — who raises 17-year-old daughter Eleanor with husband Josh Brolin — recently insisted that “willing to be wrong” makes her marriage work.
“It’s staying grateful, humble, willing to be wrong and thinking about the other person at least as much as you think about yourself,” she said.
“Put yourself in the other person’s moccasins, you know?”

Jodie Foster talks Mel Gibson and ‘The Beaver’

Jodie Foster’s allegiance to friend and colleague Mel Gibson has been well-documented. But as the promotional efforts for their movie, “The Beaver,” continue to ramp up ahead of its May 6 release, it’s something that she will undoubtedly be reiterating, as she did in a recent video interview with me.
I had the opportunity to talk first-hand with Foster about Gibson and her reasons for casting him in “The Beaver,” a film that Foster both directed and co-stars in as Gibson’s wife.
In the first portion of a multi-part video interview, the actress explains what made her immediately think of her “Maverick” co-star for the role of a deeply depressed man who turns to a beaver puppet for solace.
“It’s a film about a man who’s struggling,” she says. “And I think that he is someone who has struggled in his life with many things, and who’s really interested in coming to terms with that.”

After the jump, watch another clip of Foster discussing her feelings about the recent 30th anniversary of the attempted assassination of Ronald Reagan — a news story that she became forever intwined with due to John Hinckley, Jr.’s well-publicized interest in her — and why she’ll never set up a Twitter account.
The rest of my interview with Foster will be posted here in Celebritology in the coming days.

Lady GaGa Gets Angry, Uses The Word Retarded!

LADY GaGa hasn’t been ripping off Madonna!
The Poker Face singer was recently asked whether her hit song Born This Way was a knock-off of Madge’s Express Yourself.
“I’m a songwriter,” GaGa replied.
I’ve written loads of music. Why would I try to put out a song and think I’m getting one over on everybody? That’s retarded.

“What a completely ridiculous thing to even question me about… If you put the songs next to each other, side by side, the only similarities are the chord progression. It’s the same one that’s been in disco music for the last 50 years.

Just because I’m the first f***ing artist in 25 years to think of putting it on Top 40 radio, it doesn’t mean I’m a plagiarist, it means that I’m f***ing smart. Sorry.”

Louis-Dreyfus is ‘Veep’ in new HBO comedy

Julia Louis-Dreyfus is set to play the vice president in a new HBO comedy.
The network said Monday it has ordered the new comedy series, “Veep,” and expects it to debut in fall 2012. Louis-Dreyfus plays a former senator who becomes vice president and finds the job is everything she was warned about.

Said Louis-Dreyfus: Although everyone says this is a comedy, I don’t think there is anything funny at all about me being a heartbeat away from the presidency.

Selena Gomez on UNICEF, Giving Back, and Growing Up

Disney stardom has created some epic successes- and fails. From Lindsay (jail, again) to Vanessa (naked pictures) to Britney (shaved head), preteen celebs all-grown up have become something to fear. There’s an important sense of reality that seems just out of reach when the going gets really good.

Regardless, there will always be famous kids.  There’s a new generation of them shining through now. With luck, they will outclass the stereotypes that precede them, starting with Selena Gomez.
Selena Gomez has lived her life in front of cameras since acting in Barney & Friends at seven years old. Now nearly nineteen, she’s most famously known as the cool, sleuthy, high-schooling Alex Russo from The Wizards of Waverly Place. This year will be the show’s final season, which means a new stage for this celeb.
She keeps up the fierce duality of acting and music like a star of today’s standards.  Beyond shooting her series finale and a new movie, preparing to tour for her third album, releasing a clothing line, reportedly dating Justin Beiber, and just being young, Selena has found a philanthropic alliance with UNICEF that seems to benefit them both.  ”Whenever I explain to people about going on my trip, I always end up saying that I left Africa gaining more than I did for those kids because I felt incredibly humble,” she says as we discuss the Celebrity Tap Project, a program that focuses on the lifesaving importance of clean water worldwide.
It turns out Selena has more balance than you’d expect from a fame-bearing teenager. She’s comfortable with acknowledging that she doesn’t know everything, but can admit that she has a lot.  There’s humility that comes with her wide-eyed hope for a more caring youth that makes it clear why UNICEF chose her to be their youngest brand ambassador to date.

What exactly does it mean to be a UNICEF brand ambassador?
They are basically using my voice and my platform to educate kids. I’m able to take trips with them. I’m able to be educated on what they’re doing. the next step of making the number zero from having 14,000 children die a day from preventable causes. That’s why I was one of the first people to become part of the Tap Project this year.
Does your philanthropy drive you to educate yourself more about what’s going on in the world?
Yes and no, the best thing about being a part of these things is that I don’t have to grow up.  I’ve made videos on YouTube and I’ve talked to my fans about it- like I had an acoustic show for UNICEF a while back where I had fans come in and ask me questions about UNICEF and I was able to say, “look I don’t know a lot of the things that I want to learn and that’s what I’m trying to encourage everyone else to do”.
I will be honest, when I went to Ghana, I had no idea what I was going to go see or what it was, I had no idea of any of it. I had my fans on Twitter ask me what Ghana is like, “what’s Ghana”, or, “where’s Ghana”, and I was able to say, you guys can Google it, look it up, or do something.  So its nice because I’m not 35 years old and I don’t know lot about all of the things that go on in the world. I’m able to grow up with my fans and able to grow up with UNICEF, having them trust me and know that I genuinely want to learn and that I genuinely want to know what’s going on.

Are these things you keep in mind when you make professional and entrepreneurial decisions?
I feel like my life is sometimes extremely superficial. And it makes that superficialness go away in my mind. Because I do love what I do. I do think that sometimes it can be very selfish and vain. I mean I’m in two hours of hair and makeup and walking red carpets and things like that. So i feel really really happy when I connect with UNICEF.  With my clothing line, we did something for Trick or Treat. We did a UNICEF tshirt- we sold two tshirts and all the funds went to UNICEF. Its fun to kind of incorporate that in what I do.
What do you want your fans to walk away with as a result of those efforts?
I would hope that they just feel good about doing something good. And just want to be better to everybody. Not just to people in foreign countries that we dont know and are less fortunate than us but somebody, your neighbor, or someone down the street, or someone at school, something.
Things your friends are doing are leaning towards philanthropy, too. Taylor Swift is also part of this program, and it seems like you are pretty good friends.
Yea, I’m so stoked that she is on, I love her. I think that’s what it’s about, obviously sharing it with everybody.  I met a girl who was twelve years old and she and her friends raised $3,000 for UNICEF because she read in a magazine that I was working with them. That blew my mind. She did car washes, she did things at her school. That does feel incredible and I hope that continues.
I read something about Justin Beiber asking his fans to donate to a clean water program for his birthday.
See that’s what I love. That’s definitely something that is really cool to have a part of anybody not just him, but everyone.
Here is Selena’s Tap Project commercial produced by Droga5.

Kelly Osbourne - A Bitch, Not A Slut!!

KELLY Osbourne would rather be a “bitch” than a “slut”.
The feisty Fashion Police star says her mother Sharon Osbourne always encouraged her to stand up for herself when she was growing up and as a result she will never let anyone walk all over her.
“Well, it’s one of two things,” Kelly said. “This is something that my mom taught me when we’re growing up in the industry and I don’t know how to word this, but you’re either a sl*t or a b***h, and I would rather be a b***h.
“I don’t want to, like, be a bulldog or anything. But I do get that from my mom. And I have this thing ever since I was a kid, like, if I don’t like someone, I just don’t like them.”
“I think it’s a thing of just being who you are and not taking any c**p from people,” Sharon added. “You stand up for what you believe in. And you stand up for your family and yourself and that’s it.”
Kelly has battled drug addiction in the past but despite her family’s pleas for her to get help, she admitted she only decided to get clean and go to rehab when she realized she “wanted to die”.
“I woke up one day and I couldn’t believe that I was hoping that if I took a bit more that I wouldn’t wake up in the morning. And that’s what really scared me. I was just like I can’t believe I have become this person,” she said.
“This is who I am. And this is what I sat in my bedroom by myself praying for. It’s a huge wake-up call. You know, I spent most of my teenage years messed up and miserable. And I had one of two options: die or sort myself out. I chose to sort myself out.”

Angelina Jolie’s Jewelry Line: “Chic and Contemporary”

You’ve seen the serious sparklers, but just what went into the creation of Angelina Jolie‘s new jewelry line, Style of Jolie? “She has been involved, every step of the way,” jeweler Robert Procop tells PEOPLE. “She wanted to create some beautiful art around jewels with the mission of helping children.” Jolie and Procop, who’s styled the actress in the past, started the project in August of 2010, creating storyboards, researching gems and metals and considering various designs. “Angelina has a very classic style. She is very chic and contemporary,” Procop explains. “[The collection] is what she enjoys wearing on the red carpet, but also what she enjoys wearing when she’s at home. It’s also what she enjoys giving as a gift.” In fact, at Christmas, Brad Pitt gifted Jolie with a bracelet similar to the the five-row white quartz tablet bracelet (above) after seeing her design. Another piece the actress particularly loves is the Angelina Jolie exceptional emerald necklace (above), containing 44 green gems totaling 103.48 carats. “It’s probably one of the finest collections of cushion emeralds ever assembled,” Procop says. “The stones are just so bright.” Though the line — which features pieces starting at $4,000 and benefits the Education Partnership for Children of Conflict — is only available to private clients at the moment, Procop hints that later this year, a more accessible retail version will hit the market. But for now, the jewels are hitting the road: after a short stint in Beverly Hills, they’ll move on to a gallery in Monaco for about two weeks. Seems they’re following in the footsteps of their jet-setting creator! Tell us: What do you think of Jolie’s jewelry line?

Miley Cyrus says her family is fine

LOS ANGELES – Miley Cyrus says she feels more at ease heading out on an international tour now that things are fine on the home front.

Earlier this year, her parents, Billy Ray and Tish Cyrus, were getting a divorce, and her father was critical of his daughter's behavior. But the Cyruses recently called off their divorce and the family is spending time together.

"I think it's good, especially when you go on the road. You have to make sure everyone is happy before you start traveling, you're away. My family is good. They are stoked for tour. As long as I'm happy they are happy," Cyrus said in an interview on Thursday.

The former "Hannah Montana" star is leaving for South America and Australia on April 27 for her Gypsy Heart Tour. It will be the first time Cyrus, whose most recent album is titled "Can't Be Tamed," has gone to South America, and she's excited — even though she won't be able to communicate with her fans in their language.

"I speak zero Spanish. I actually failed Spanish so I will have someone with me making sure I can get through my way," she said.

She recently released one of the album's songs, "Every Rose Has Its Thorn," in Australia, and said she's excited to sing the Poison cover (which featured Bret Michaels) there live. But she won't be releasing that song in the United States, and right now, she has no plans to tour in her native country either.

"I just think right now America has gotten to a place where I don't know if they want me to tour or not. Right now I just want to go to the places where I am getting the most love and Australia and South America have done that for me," she said. "Kind of going to the places where I get the most love. Don't want to go anywhere where I don't feel completely comfortable with it."

Gwyneth Paltrow Hired a Trainer to "Redesign" Her "Dumpy" Butt

Gwyneth Paltrow is in the best shape of her life -- but it didn't come easily.
"I never thought that I'd be considered to have a good body. I was bony up top and kind of dumpy on the bottom," Paltrow tells SELF's May issue. "But my trainer, Tracy Anderson, completely changed my legs, butt, arms and stomach. I feel better than ever, too."

But don't be fooled: even Paltrow has problem areas.
"When Tracy met me, she said that I had a long, square butt that she was going to redesign, and I was, like, 'Yeah? Good luck,'" Paltrow recalls. "The amazing thing is, she was right! And it's still changing!"

What's the secret to the Oscar winner's enviable bikini bod?
"I do 45 minutes of cardio five days a week, because I like to eat. I also try for 45 minutes of muscular structure work, which is toning, realigning and lengthening," Paltrow reveals. "If I'm prepping for something or I've been eating a lot of pie, I do two hours a day, six days a week for two weeks."

That's not all. "I do Tracy's dance aerobics classes. It took me a long time to learn the choreography when I started. I was so uncoordinated!  After 11 minutes, I'd pass out and cry and say, 'I can't do this anymore!'" Paltrow, 38, says. "Now I can't live without it. You do it to loud music, and it's fun."
The My Father's Daughter author -- who curbs cravings by snacking on raw almonds with raisins -- has made exercise a priority for each member of her family, too.

"Being active is part of our life. Moses is 5 now and Apple's turning 7, and they dance around with me. Apple is really into ballet and flamenco dancing now," Paltrow -- who married Coldplay's Chris Martin in 2003 -- tells the mag. "Taking care of yourself is being there for your kids, like how on a plane, they tell you to put on your oxygen mask first."

Katie Couric to appear on 'Today': A sign of things to come?

Katie Couric will appear as a guest on NBC's "Today," a show she once co-anchored, the network announced Tuesday. On Wednesday morning, Couric will chat about her new book, "The Best Advice I Ever Got: Lessons From Extraordinary Lives," and her possible plans for the future.
Since it's widely believed that Couric will soon cede her post at "CBS Evening News" to Scott Pelley, her choice to appear on a rival network's morning show should raise a few eyebrows: Couric has been talking with former "Today" show producer Jeff Zucker about possibly teaming up on a syndicated talk show, and some are already speculating that "Today" host Matt Lauer, who will see his contract with NBC News end in 2012, will reunite with Couric and Zucker on that project.
Might Couric have an announcement to make on Wednesday? We'll report back in the morning.

Pia Toscano: What's next for ex American Idol contestant?

Pia Toscano's elimination from American Idol last week might have a shocker. But it certainly doesn't look like the end of her singing career.

Placing ninth on the 10th season of American Idol, the 22-year-old from New York was voted off, which took the judges and many fans by surprise. Her departure could be one of the most unexpected in American Idol history.

But Toscano says she had a feeling it was coming: "I don't know what it was," she told reporters during a conference call Friday. "I didn't feel bad about my performance Wednesday night, and I wouldn't change a thing. But you know when you have that feeling in your stomach?"

QUIZ: Are you really an American Idol fan?

Getting kicked off the show hasn't been a bad thing for Toscano, so far. Interscope-Geffen-A&M records is reportedly very interested in her, and wants her in the studio as soon as possible to start recording. Jimmy Iovine, is co-founder and chairman of Interscope, a major recording studio. Mr. Iovine is also a "mentor" on this season's American Idol, working with the contestants in the studio. Is it a coincidence that Pia Toscano may be making a record with Interscope?

But according to ABC.com, Toscano says that nothing has been signed with Interscope just yet.

Record deal or not, Toscano will be touring with the rest of the Idol contestants. Normally, the Idol participants are too busy with American Idol commitments to make a record until the fall. But there's speculation that Toscano (and a record company) may want to strike now while she's a hot commodity.

Meanwhile, in the wake of Toscano's departure from the TV show, some are saying that American Idol voters are sexist.

When was the last time a female actually won American Idol?

Four years ago, when Jordan Sparks took the crown. ABC News also notes that in each of the last three seasons, there have been three male contestants in the final group of four.

Toscano was the fifth female voted off this season, and there are only two women left among the final eight. Many American Idol fan sites and critics say it's because young girls are the ones voting for the males. Others say the American Idol judges are pushing the audience one way or the other.

Either way, the controversy over Pia Toscano's exit doesn't seem to be hurting Toscano's career prospects or American Idol's ratings.

Taylor Swift Won’t Flash The Flesh

TAYLOR Swift isn’t willing to take her clothes off to sell more records.
The country music superstar, 21, says she has no intention of flashing the flesh.
“I like wearing pretty dresses and I like trying out new styles, but I don’t feel comfortable taking my clothes off,” she said.
“I wouldn’t wear tiny amounts of clothing in my real life, so I don’t think it’s necessary to wear that stuff in photo shoots.”
Taylor attributes her need to be in command of herself as her reason for not drinking: “I worry I might come off in a way that I can’t control [and] of you’re yelling, you’re the one who’s lost control of the conversation.”
Swift was recently spotted having dinner with Garrett Hedlund.
The pair are allegedly getting close after they met up for a low-key date last Friday in Nashville, where Taylor is currently recording.
“It was their first time going out. They’ve been emailing for a while, and she hinted they should get together,” a source said.
“She has actually spent time getting to know Garrett. He’s cute — and he’s into country music! [She] likes that he’s a normal guy.”
The 26-year-old hunk — who also starred in Country Strong, playing an up and coming country singer — joined Taylor at a restaurant at 8.00pm before returning to his hotel at 12.30am.
The You Belong With Me star’s romantic life has been varied of late, with the 21-year-old blonde breaking up with Jake Gyllenhaal last year, before being linked to Gleestar Chord Overstreet. She has also dated musicians Joe Jonas and Jon Mayer.
On Sunday she was named Entertainer of the Year at the 46th Annual Academy of Country Music Awards.

Kate Gosselin Stays In Shape With Afternoon Jog

Kate Gosselin won't be regretting her afternoon jog - at least if the T-shirt she was wearing on Sunday is anything to go by.
The reality TV star wore a top emblazoned with the phrase 'Nobody Has Ever Regretted It' as she pounded the pavement near her home in Wernersville, PA has the keep fit photos.


Looking trim and toned it's hard to believe the reality TV star is a mother of eight young children.
And while she now has an enviable figure she admits her quest for the perfect body wasn't an easy one.


Just last year she ditched the treadmill in favor of daily jogs near her home, and she credits these for transforming her physique.
"This is the most fit I've ever been," she told People. "I started wondering if I could run as far as this one spot near my house. I figured the only way to find out was to do it. So I did, and each day I just kept going.


"Running outside is a huge challenge. The other day I achieved my personal best, seven miles in just over an hour. Now I'm thinking I'll be happy when I can do 10 miles, three times a week."
Kate was off parenting duty for the weekend as her ex-husband Jon looked after their broad.

KHLOE Kardashian: Unisex Perfume Range Was A Long Process For Khloe Kardashian And Husband Lamar Odom!

KHLOE Kardashian admits she and her husband Lamar Odom were worried they would not be able to agree on their unisex fragrance Unbreakable.

The couple joined forces to create the scent but Khloe admitted it was a long process and they both feared they would never be able to choose the perfect perfume to suit both men and women.

“Towards the end,” Khloe recalled, “we were like, ‘We’re never going to get it.’ Maybe that’s why people don’t do it, because it’s just not there. We really were nervous. Then, finally, we started mixing things, and we were like, ‘We’re getting there.’ When we did this combination — what Unbreakable is now — we did a lot of dark chocolate elements, and the dark chocolate does pick up male pheromones and women pheromones. It is kind of muskier on a man, but lighter and more citrusy on a female.”

Khloe also revealed the perfume almost didn’t happen because their partner in the venture, Lighthouse Beauty, was initially wary of creating a unisex fragrance.

“Lighthouse Beauty was like, ‘Absolutely not. No celebrity couples have ever done a unisex scent before,” Khloe said. “And Lamar said, ‘This is absolutely what I want to do. I don’t want to do what everyone else has done.’ Lamar was more into it when he was told no celebrity couples have done it.”

Meanwhile, the couple are hoping their baby making efforts pay off soon.

The socialite and the basketball star — who married in 2009 — are keen to add to their family by having a child together and admit they are working hard to ensure Khloe gets pregnant.

“Practice makes perfect. I’m a great shot at basketball, so hopefully it will be soon!” Lamar said.

While they are keen to have a baby, Khloe and Lamar are currently busy concentrating on their careers, which includes the launch of their own reality TV show together later this year.

“Lamar has his first career, which is basketball. Shooting a show is 12-hour days, seven days a week, so it’s two full-time jobs he has,” Khloe said.
