Todd Williamson/WireImageRemember when Kim Kardashian X-rayed her butt to prove it's all real? According to a report of sketchy credibility in the Enquirer (via Celebitchy), Kris Humphries is threatening to expose the truth about her famous rear. Namely, that she uses padding to give it something extra.

"Kris told his buddies that it takes a lot of work for Kim to make her bottom look as good as it does," a source tells the tabloid. "He revealed all her secrets -- how she uses 'booty pads,' Spanx and other things to enhance it. When she takes off the Spanx, the pads and everything else, it's not the same."

Someone emailed us this photo of an edible Justin Bieber portrait by 25-year-old Chicago-based pancake artist Katherine Kalnes. She created this work of art using a "batter blaster" (pancake batter in a spray bottle), frosting, chocolate chips, blueberries and raisins. We're impressed at how accurately she captured the Canadian boy wonder's blase, been-there-done-that expression and perfect beaver hair.

Steve Granitz/WireImageIn legitimately shocking news: George Clooney says he considered suicide while suffering from back pain after a stunt-gone-wrong on the set of "Syriana."

"I was at a point where I thought, 'I can't exist like this. I can't actually live,'" the A-lister confesses in an interview with Rolling Stone, recalling the spinal injury he endured while filming the 2005 movie. "I was lying in a hospital bed with an IV in my arm, unable to move, having these headaches where it feels like you're having a stroke, and for a short three-week period, I started to think, 'I may have to do something drastic about this' ... but I never thought I'd get there."

Tim Mosenfelder/Getty ImagesSo "Twilight" vamp Ashley Greene attended a promotional event for "Breaking Dawn" in San Francisco last night: she signed autographs, took pictures with second-tier castmates (i.e. Not Robert Pattinson/Kristen Stewart/Taylor Lautner) and made unintentionally funny and evil faces of which she probably was not aware!

Seriously, it's like she got possessed by the fame-grubbing spirit of child bride and facial contortionist Courtney Stodden. Another image wherein the actress was all-too-obviously-cognizant of the presence of a photographer:

ABC.comIf you watched "The Bachelorette" last season, then you'll recall Ben Flajnik as the sensitive winemaker from Sonoma who failed to win Ashley Hebert's final rose. (It was between Flajnik and New York City-based construction manager J.P. Rosenbaum. Rosenbaum won.) Anyway, as his consolation prize, Flajnik was awarded the opportunity to fend off 25 future wives as the new "Bachelor," currently taping.  Turns out, yet again, he's getting passed over for another guy -- in this case, a producer. Our colleague over at The Set -- the esteemed Lindsay Robertson -- reports:

Giuseppe Bellini/Getty ImagesAmanda Knox, back home in Seattle following her Italian nightmare, has a new boyfriend, the National Enquirer reports. The tabloid published a photo of Knox walking hand in hand with her man, identified as James Terrano, a longtime friend of hers. Apparently, the publicity-shy pair live together in an apartment in "Seattle's rundown Chinatown area." Terrano's brother, William, confirmed they're dating, telling the Enquirer: "They have known each other for years. We've all been friends since before Amanda went to Italy." Last month's verdict spelled a happy ending for Knox: after an emotionally wrenching trial in the town of Perugia, she was found not guilty of the murder of her study-abroad roommate Meredith Kercher.

Taylor Hill/Getty ImagesWarning: this image could make you melt into a puddle of cuteness-induced mush. If you don't know him already, then be delighted to meet Giggy: He's the third -- and favorite -- child of "Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" star Lisa Vanderpump and her husband, Ken.

He's also the Pippa Middleton of dogs. Vanderpump made the mistake of bringing Giggy to her promotional appearance at Sirius Radio in New York on Thursday. Naturally, the pocket-sized powder puff got all the attention.

Let's break down this adorableness, shall we?

Meet Sophia Grace, 8-year-old "princess" and YouTube star. The long-lost love child of Andrew Lloyd Webber and Lisa Vanderpump -- we mean that in the best way possible -- flew all the way from Britain, with shy pal Rosie in tow, to appear on the "Ellen" show this week. Cue massive amounts of precociousness, pink and tiaras! The girls have pretty good American accents, too! And true to form, Sophia totally takes over their joint performance of Adele's "Rolling in the Deep."
