Bobby Flay talks to omg!. (Ben Gabbe/Getty Images)Celebrity chef Bobby Flay was a chef long before he was a celebrity, but which part is more important when it comes to becoming a successful TV cooking show host — on-camera panache or solid culinary skills? The 47-year-old restaurant mogul — who just kicked off the latest season of reality competition series "Food Network Star" as team leader of a gaggle of wannabe stars competing for their very own series — gave omg! the lowdown on what he's looking for in a future Food Network host, why he would probably lose if he competed on the show, and what just might be the best gift he ever got.

Noel Vasquez/Getty ImagesJust days away from the premiere of the seventh season of "Keeping Up With the Kardashians," we know what question has been keeping you up at night: Will Kim's new reported love interest Kanye West be on the show? (As you'll recall, the rapper made an appearance on the "Kardashians" spin-off "Kourtney and Kim Take New York" last year as the sisters looked at a new location for their Dash store.) The answer to this burning question is that yes, Kanye will make appearances, since he is supposedly part of Kim's actual life, but he won't be a regular.

The iconic Playboy mansion in Los Angeles. (Kelly Senyei/Gourmet)Sure, the Playboy mansion is better known for its buxom blondes and wild parties, than for its five-star meals and top-notch chefs, but it turns out that behind the walls of one of the most famous compounds in the world lies one amazingly sophisticated kitchen. You already know some of what 86-year-old Playboy mogul Hugh Hefner does in his spare time, but turns out he could also spend a good part of it eating some really fantastic food made fresh all day long in his fully staffed 24-hour kitchen.

"I have a staff of 12 full-time chefs who are here around the clock," William Bloxsom-Carter, executive chef and food and beverage director of Playboy Enterprises, Inc. tells Gourmet, which got a tour of the operation. "Everything is made from scratch, including those," he says, pointing to a glass case containing seven different kinds of pies and cakes. "You should see [Hefner's] little cookie drawer. It's actually not all that little." Indeed it's not. It's several drawers full of brownies, marshmallow treats, and multiple types of cookies, including Hef's favorites, oatmeal, most made overnight by the graveyard shift staffers.

Brand in May (Tom Dulat/Getty Images)Don't look for Russell Brand to be one of those guys trash talking his ex ... at least not publicly! In an interview on Ellen that airs today, he has nothing but kind words about his soon-to-be ex-wife, Katy Perry.

"I still love her as a human being," Brand, 36, tells the talk show host on Thursday's show. "But, sometimes when you're in a relationship I suppose it doesn't work out, does it? But that doesn't mean I regret it or anything."

Stahl has been missing since May 9. (Jesse Grant/WireImage)Child stars who grow up and acquire drug problems are a dime a dozen in Hollywood, and it seems the stigma may have claimed its latest victim: Nick Stahl. The "Terminator 3" actor, who got his big break opposite Mel Gibson in 1993's "The Man Without a Face" when he was just 13, was reported missing by his estranged wife Rose on Monday, five days after she last saw him. A source tells TMZ that Stahl, who has a 2-year-old daughter, had lately been frequenting the drug-infested Skid Row area of downtown Los Angeles and that "he may have gotten himself involved in some bad stuff." As of Wednesday, a spokesperson with the LAPD announced that Stahl, 32, is still missing.
