It might be partly fictionalized, it might not but one thing it has for sure – a leopard print cover. Ugh.

Kim Kardashian and her sisters Khloe and Kourtney are expanding the family’s $65 million empire with Dollhouse, a novel penned by the ladies about a family in the spotlight…

“The novel is based on our lives but we’ve added a lot of crazy fictional twists and turns. You’ll have to decide for yourself which story lines are true to life, and which ones we dreamed up. LOL,” Kim K. said on her blog when the book was announced in May.

A contest was held with fans to choose the name and Kim announced the winner, Courtney Powell, will be featured in the upcoming tome.

The book gets a November 1st release.

Bigger news is just around the corner for the Kardashian clan. Kim’s wedding to Kris Humphries is set to take place on August 20th.

LeAnn Rimes shows off her bikini-lovin’ slim frame once again – this time for Mikoh Swimwear.

The 28 year-old singer posed in the company’s beach-babe attire and dished about her life and love to the manufacturer’s blog.

Rimes said she and husband, Eddie Cibrian, love hanging out at Laguna Beach in Southern California.

“I love Laguna Beach and it always seems to be our place for a chill family vacation,” Rimes told Mikoh’s. “I love seeing my “bonus boys” and my husband running around in total privacy and me taking photos. I love being with them in our on little private cove. It’s pure heaven!”

She also waxed poetic about accomplishments meaning nothing without someone to share them with.

“I have been blessed to have experienced so much in my short lifetime,” Rimes revealed in the interview. “I’ve worked very hard for everything I have and nothing has come easy. My biggest accomplishment though has been, to quote the Notebook…”I’ve loved another with all my heart, and to me, this has always been enough.” What’s life without love? You can accomplish everything you want in life, but without anyone to share it with, what’s it really worth.

LeAnn has taken been at the center of controversy (again) whether she’s too thin or she’s just right. For her part, she has stated she’s “healthy” and Cibrian told Extra that he thought LeAnn’s body was “perfect.”

The stunning Freida Pinto graces the September cover of InStyle UK magazine.

The Rise of the Planet of the Apes actress spoke about fashion, her Alexander McQueen collection and Skype dating with her boyfriend, Dev Patel.

On her must-haves using color: “I keep colour in mind and try not to repeat a shade I’ve used before. Everything needs to be in sync and seem like one perfect piece, one perfect look. At the end of the day, it has to have the wow factor, so whatever I wear has to be ‘wow’. My must-haves are a little black dress and my favourite accessories. I just love a pair of simple earrings that can jazz up an entire outfit. I try to keep it simple and elegant.”

On her McQueen collection: “Given the chance, I love dressing head to toe in Alexander McQueen. I was always a huge fan of his and will continue to be so forever. I even collect McQueen handbags as well as dresses.”

On her long-distance relationship with boyfriend Dev Patel: “We use it (Skype) a lot – and we hate it as well! It’s like a tease. I also feel it’s this pressure, “Oh my God, he’s seeing me after two weeks, I hope my hair is okay. It’s just hideous. I think even the most beautiful person looks stupid on Skype.”

iCarly star Miranda Cosgrove has been injured in a tour bus accident early Thursday morning that has also sent her mother and driver to the hospital.

The 18 year-old Nickelodeon star suffered a broken ankle when the crash occured in Illinois. Cosgrove’s Crazy Cats tour bus and a tractor trailer were involved in the highway collision.

“Miranda Cosgrove’s tour bus was involved in an accident early this morning in Illinois on I-70, just outside of Vandalia,” her rep said in a statement.

“There were five passengers on the bus, and Miranda suffered a broken ankle. At this time, we are told everyone will be fine.

“Because of this, her tour is postponed until further notice,” the statement concludes. “Miranda thanks everyone for their understanding and support.”

A source is telling People magazine that although Miranda only had a broken ankle, her mother and the driver have suffered more “life threatening” problems as a result of the crash.

“Miranda’s mom was on the bus with her and got really beaten up by the crash,” the source said.

“She’s expected to fully recover, but it’s scary because the driver was hurt, too, and he’s in really bad shape because the injury happened close to his heart.”

Cosgrove’s tour is postponed until further notice.

Kate Hudson graces the pages of Elle magazine’s September issue wearing her new jewelry line and a strategically placed pale pink sheet.

The 32 year-old actress previewed her Chrome Heart Collaboration CH + KH. Hudson talks about her Muse man, how she manages work and kids,

On when/if she’s marrying Matt Bellamy: “One thing at a time. We’ll say hello to our new one and enjoy that for a while.”

On her busy lifestyle: “Most relationships I’ve had in my life have been with people who travel quite a bit for work . . . I don’t know if I’m attracted to that specifically, but it is nice to be with somebody who understands having to be on the move.”

On juggling being a mom and working: “[It’s] definitely getting harder. You have to think about things like, ‘Where is it? How long is it going to keep me away from my family?’ But, you know, life moves on. I would never want to be someone who complains and goes, ‘Oh my God, my life is so crazy.’ If you make the best of it, it can be amazing.”

On what advice her mom (Goldie Hawn) gave: “We’ve definitely had lots of talks about parenting and being a working mom. She never hands out unsolicited preachy words of wisdom, though. My parents allowed my brother and I to have our freedom and be ourselves and feel confident in our choices and to make mistakes without too much judgment. I hope that I can do as good a job.”

“So I was literally in for an hour, back out. I spent like 11 hours on a plane just to spend three hours in New York.” But “it was so worth it,” she added of her whirlwind trip.

Kim’s wedding to Kris Humphries is set for August 20th. Tonight she appears on Lifetime as a guest judge on tonight’s episode (Thursday, August 11th) of Project Runway.

EW‘s Fall Movie Preview hits newsstands tomorrow, but let’s face it – the cover of Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart all wet and clinging to each other is what most fans want.

Stewart and Pattinson wrap their arms around each other in this new still from Twilight: Breaking Dawn Part 1. The two stars chat about the end of the series and Bella and Edward’s wedding, honeymoon and baby.

The end of the Twilight movies: “It’s just so strange, I can’t get over it,” says Stewart.

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,” Kristen said.

Pattinson talks Edward’s 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!’”

The pregnancy: “They shock each other. For a saga which is about eternal, undying love that nothing can touch, suddenly…” Robert said.

“There’s one thing that can,” Stewart added. “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.”

After all this time, Pattinson says what he really thinks about Edward: “Look, there are a lot of moments when Edward sort of acts like a p*ssy. I mean, throughout the whole series.”

This issue is on sale Friday, August 12th. Included in it is info about The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo, Moneyball, The Muppets, In The Land of Milk and Honey and The Rum Diaries.

The September issue of Vogue is not just the anticipated annual bible of fall fashions to come. This year, it has a special addition – Kate Moss‘ wedding album – as an editorial.

The 37 year-old model married rocker Jamie Hince on July 1st and photographer Mario Testino captured the beauty of her day for her and the magazine.

Moss said that after a trip to Thailand, Hince asked her to marry him, but she wasn’t into it, until she was watching Big Fat Gypsy Wedding and realized what she was missing.

“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!”

For her own nuptials, she wanted something that F. Scott Fitzgerald would’ve written.

“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.

The photos are amazing and Anna Wintour and Vogue have given readers a wonderful cover, unlike many of the bland shots most magazines have given for their September issues.

Lots of photos of Kate & Jamie’s ceremony are below – including Kate’s famous friends, Naomi Campbell, Kelly Osbourne, Jude Law & Sadie Frost and a gorgeous photo of Kate and her daughter, Lila Grace.
