Kim Kardashian denies nose job reports

American TV star and socialite Kim Kardashian insists she has never had a nose job, but isn't against having cosmetic surgery in the future.
29-year-old socialite, who recently started healthy eating and fitness regime after unflattering photos of her appeared on the Internet, insists the rumours she has gone under the knife are false.
'There was this thing on the cover of a magazine in the States saying that I'd had my nose done, but that's probably one of my biggest insecurities and what I'd want done. It's all made up,' she said.
However, she wouldn't rule out having cosmetic surgery in the future.
'Maybe one day I'll have something done. I don't think I'm the type to say no, but I haven't had butt or cheek implants like lots of people are saying,' she said.
Kardashian recently denied reports that she wore butt-boosting pads at a Miami party.
'It was a beautiful and elegant event and I chose this gorgeous black and white dress by Rami Kashou. But sorry to disappoint you, no butt pads here! That dress was so tight, butt pads wouldn't have even fit,' she said.

The People Tree line, comprising 26 women’s styles and 15 for men, plus a small accessories range, will enter stores in late February 2010.
The collection, which includes knitwear, cotton T-shirts, jersey dresses, poplin skirts and shorts, is described by People Tree as ‘clean, sexy and easy to wear’.

Katie Price to open boutique hotel for more income?

Model Katie Price may soon open a boutique hotel to make more money and the interior is likely to be like a ‘Playboy mansion’.
The mirror.co.uk reports that the 31-year-old spent last week in meetings to discuss her future projects and has decided that piling her savings into a boutique hotel could well be the way forward to make more money.
‘Now that the recession is supposedly over she has been advised that property is becoming a more stable investment. After splitting from Peter Andre, she felt the pinch after losing a few of her deals. And along with losing out on her monthly six-figure glossy magazine deals, her accountant called her in to have a chat about her finances,’ said a friend of Katie.
‘Katie is always in and out of London staying at the Mayfair hotel. But she said if she had her own then it could be more like a home from home. Katie knows her limitations, she doesn’t want anything massive. She just wants a small boutique hotel that she can feel comfortable in and have some privacy,’ the friend added.
Jordan, as she is fondly called, also has already planned for the decor of the hotel.
‘You can just imagine what the rooms will look like. It will be top-to-toe in pink with fluffy carpets and pink flowery drapes. It will be like the Playboy mansion on crack. You could have breakfast in the Botox Lounge, or supper in the Spraytan Room. And you’d better bring a pink tutu for karaoke in the bar,’ said the friend.
‘For the amount of fans Katie still has, this could be a surprise money-spinner if guests can handle staying there among the dramas,’ the friend added.

Jessica Alba taking Spanish lessons

Jessica Alba is learning Spanish in order to star in Latin movies.
The actress added that that many people think her to be Latino.
“I didn’t want to misrepresent Latinos and I didn’t know how to defend myself. But I went to my room and I cried all night. Since then, I’ve preferred not to comment on the subject,” the Daily Express quoted her as telling Siempre Mujer magazine.
She added: “I tried to explain to them that, in this country (America), I’m considered Latina and, thus, I consider myself Latina as well. I grew up eating enchiladas… I identify with Mexicans. It’s in my blood whether or not I speak Spanish.”
She has decided to sign up for Spanish lessons, so she and her daughter Honor can become fluent.
She adds, “I know the basics, but I just hired a professor that specialises in Hispanic studies to teach me and Honor. God knows that I wish I was raised bilingual. But it wasn’t to be.
“I want to make movies in Spanish… There are so many interesting themes and stories that are worth sharing, like the lives of immigrants, for example.
“There’s a whole world that hasn’t been sufficiently explored and I want to be part of it - the violence on the Mexican borders, the political upheaval in Venezuela and Bolivia and the drug trafficking in Colombia.”
