Kardashian & Conrad Join ‘Top Model’ Team

Reality television stars Kim Kardashian and Lauren Conrad will add to their ever-expanding resumes, with an appearance as celebrity judges in cycle 13 of America’s Next Top Model.

At this stage, both Kardashian and Conrad only have one-episode gigs, with Conrad slated to stop by the show on September 16, and Kardashian a few weeks later on October 21.

However, rumour has it that ANTM is looking for a more permanent replacement on the judging panel for the newly departed supermodel judge, Paulina Porizkova, and both Kardashian and Conrad are in the running for the spot.

I guess that means they should treat their cameo appearances as an audition, of sorts.

What do you Top Model fans think? Does either of these two reality fashionistas have what it takes to become a permanent fixture in the ANTM house?

Barton Hospitalization a Media Ploy?

Mischa Barton’s recent mental issues have been almost as public as Britney Spears’ infamous breakdown of more than a year ago, leaving many of her “haters” feeling pity for the former O.C. star.

Unlike in Spears’ case, though, sources have revealed that Mischa’s issues may stem from her publicist’s desire to see the washed-up actress back in the press and on the cover of one – or more – of the celebrity weekly magazines.

“As sad as Mischa’s recent problems are, what seems to be upsetting her representatives even more is that no one really cares,” an editor from a high-level magazine revealed.

However, Barton’s publicist, Craig Schneider, has denied the claims, telling Page Six that the actress is in high demand, despite her recent work drought and lack of a credible movie.

“I can assure you that I’ve been inundated with requests and inquiries from the celebrity weeklies… If none of them care, then by all means, please stop calling and e-mailing,” Schneider said.

It is probably prudent to note that all of these offers more than likely came after Barton’s hospitalization in the Cedars Sinai Psych Ward, and not before…

Robert Downey Jr Slams Fame Obsessed Celebs

Reformed drug addict, Robert Downey Jr, has taken a shot at fame obsessed celebrities claiming many are more interested in being famous than making good movies, calling them “zombies”.

“For some people, fame and success is what finishes their thing, because in some twisted way that’s all they ever wanted. I know people like that. They’re like zombies. But they’re complete zombies. They’re done; they’re cool, in a very two-dimensional way. They can move anywhere inside the frame and they’re well-lit, and it’s fine.”

He has obviously seen Paris acting.
