  • The topics of death and delicious recipes don't end up mingling very often, but the two go hand in hand in The Dead Celebrity Cookbook, which features 145 recipes from, you guessed it … actors, musicians, and other famous folks who have moved on to that big kitchen in the sky.

    From Katharine Hepburn's brownies to Michael Jackson's sweet potato pie to Andy Warhol's stuffed cabbage to Farrah Fawcett's sausage and peppers, author Frank DeCaro, journalist, radio talk show host, and former movie critic for "The Daily Show With Jon Stewart," has managed to collect a mouth-watering mix of recipes -- and tidbits to go along with them -- that lets home cooks pay homage to Hollywood. omg! talked to DeCaro about the kitschy cookbook, and got the scoop on which stars still live on through their signature dishes.

  • Khloe Kardashian Taking to the Dallas Airwaves

    John Shearer/WireImageJohn Shearer/WireImage

    You've heard it before: The Kardashians are famous for being famous. That fame, in turn, has also made them filthy rich thanks to multiple reality shows, million-dollar wedding specials (apparently, how long you actually stay married doesn't make a difference in what you get paid for said specials), opening their own retail stores, endorsement deals, and red carpet appearances.

    But have any one of these Kardashian sisters actually ever held a real job? The answer is about to be yes. Dallas, meet your newest radio DJ: Khloe Kardashian.

    "I have some very exciting news for you," I'm returning to radio!!!!!!," Kardashian posted on her blog Tuesday night. "I'll be joining the team at Mix 102.9 every day from 12-1pm CST for my very own show, The Mix Up with Khloé, and I could not be more thrilled about it!"

    If you're wondering about that word "returning," Khloe actually had a short stint on a weekly Miami radio program a few years back while she was living in the South Florida city to shoot one of her many (you guessed it) reality shows, "Kourtney and Khloe Take Miami."

    You probably already know that Vera Wang is a famous fashion designer, best known for her dazzling (and often outrageously expensive) bridal gowns. But you probably have no idea how old she is ... and if you had to figure it out by looking at her, your guess would probably begin with the number four.

    Turns out the fashion mogul is actually 62 years old, but you'd never believe it from the recent photo shoot she did with Harper's Bazaar where Wang shows off her sleek and swanky new Beverly Hills home as well as her slim figure in a strapless swimsuit.

Andrade/Perkins/PacificCoastNews.comAfter attending the Palm Springs Film Festival a few weeks ago, actress Olivia Wilde decided to return to the Southern California desert resort town for a little R&R with her new beau, Jason Sudeikis, and her dog, Paco, over the weekend. With Palm Springs usually boasting sunny skies and temps in the 70s this time of year, the couple -- who just went public with their relationship this month -- probably imagined some poolside lounging or maybe a mountain hike.

    Unfortunately, the weather didn't exactly cooperate as 70 mph winds ripped through the area, uprooting trees, downing power lines, closing roads, and knocking electricity out in part of the city, including the hotel where the couple was staying!

And with those titillating characters still etched in the public's minds, it might take a minute for Stone's latest role to sink in: cover girl for AARP The Magazine.

  • Alison Sweeney Interview: ‘Biggest Loser’ Got Her Back on Track

    Jason LaVeris/FilmMagic Jason LaVeris/FilmMagic After spending years putting pressure on herself to eat "healthy" and shed weight while starring on the long-running soap "Days of Our Lives," it took actually getting a new job -- as host of weight-loss competition show "The Biggest Loser" -- to make Alison Sweeney realize the error of her dieting ways.

    "I had chosen a plan that was just about cutting calories, but maybe not always the right calories," Sweeney confesses in an interview with omg!. "I made the kind of traditional mistakes that lots of people make. I was not eating breakfast. I was one of those people who would eat baked chips or low-fat cookies, who thought a Caesar salad was good for me. The saddest part is you think you're being healthy."

  • Michelle Williams: Meeting Heath Ledger Was ‘Cosmic’

    Michael Thompson/GQMichael Thompson/GQWith her pixie cut, funky style, and big smile, "sex symbol" doesn't usually describe Michelle Williams. But the actress plays the part well in "My Week With Marilyn," in which she portrays one of the most famous sex symbols in history, Marilyn Monroe. Now, the 31-year-old gets her sexy on in print too, showing off her svelte bod in a bra and panties (with a cardigan draped over her shoulders) on the cover of the February issue of GQ, where she opens up about her late ex Heath Ledger, the couple's daughter, and more.

    In a new interview in the February issue of Vogue -- Taylor Swift's first turn on the legendary fashion mag's cover -- the 22-year-old country-pop star has just one word to describe her teen years.

    "So . . . middle school? Awkward," says Swift, who grew up in Pennsylvania, first on a rural Christmas tree farm and later in a wealthier suburban area. "Having a hobby that's different from everyone else's? Awkward. Singing the national anthem on weekends instead of going to sleepovers? More awkward. Gain a lot of weight before you hit the growth spurt? Awkward. Frizzy hair, don't embrace the curls yet? Awkward. Try to straighten it? Awkward!"
