Kim, 20, apparently hanged herself Nov. 19. Her lifeless body was discovered by her boyfriend in her Paris apartment.

<link><![CDATA[http://www.theimproper.com/?p=587#more-587]]></link><description><![CDATA[“Twilight” sequel “New Moon” became almost a force of nature last night (Nov. 20) as tens of thousands of ardent fans turned out for midnight shows. Although nothing can probably stop the onslaught at this point, critics around the country are mostly disappointed in the film. A survey of major newspaper and magazine critics by TheImproper.com found a strong current of dissatisfaction with the Chris Weitz film, that even star-crossed love triangle between Kristen Stewart, Taylor Lautner and Robert Pattinson couldn't salvage. ]]></description>

<link><![CDATA[http://bit.ly/123V1w]]></link><description><![CDATA[Daul Kim, a top model born in South Korea, has died of an apparent suicide. Kim, 20, apparently hanged herself Nov. 19. Her lifeless body was discovered by her boyfriend in her Paris apartment. Interestingly, the 5'10" Kim, who kept a blog called I Like to Fork Myself, wrote her last entry on Nov. 18 (the day before her death). Some in the fashion industry speculate that the pressures of the super-competitive modeling world got to Daul. Eating disorders and substance abuse are common in the youth- and perfection-obsessed industry. In June 2008, 20-year-old Russian model Ruslana Korshunova jumped to her death from her Manhattan apartment building on a gorgeous, sunny Saturday afternoon. Daul, who was a fixture on the runways of New York, Paris, London and Milan, has modeled for Chanel, Dries van Noten, Peter Pilotto and Christopher Kane.]]></description>

<link><![CDATA[http://www.theimproper.com/?p=568]]></link><description><![CDATA[“Twilight” hunk Robert Pattinson dropped in on David Letterman’s “Late Show” last night (Nov. 18) for some jovial banter. The “New Moon” promotional onslaught is on its final leg before the movie’s premier on Friday (Nov. 20).  Rob was in good spirits and Dave, of course, had one thought on his mind — bite me. Ever since the CBS censors told Letterman to stop saying “bite me” on the air, the cantankerous talk show host has been obsessed with the expression. And what better chance to use it than with star who plays “Twilight” vampire Edward Cullen. Most of the cast, including Kristen Stewart, Taylor Lautner, Ashley Greene, Nikki Reed and others have been making the rounds of media interviews and talks shows to fire up fans for the premier, as if they needed it.]]></description>

The 46-year-old has been named “Sexiest Man Alive 2009″ for the second time by People magazine. Cudos to Johnny, who probably could care less, but isn’t this a big snub for Twilight’s Robert Pattinson? It was the second time around for Depp, joining George Clooney and Brad Pitt. Also on this year’s list are Ryan Reynolds, Jake Gyllenhaal, Bradley Cooper, David  Beckham, Gilles Marini, Nick Cannon, Chris Daughtry and Robert Downey Jr. Hugh Jackman, last year's honoree says he's glad to be rid of the title.]]></description>

The 45-year-old actress, who played kooky masseuse Phoebe on the hit show, believes a big screen reunion is unlikely because “everyone is busy.” The six regular cast members of “Friends,” Courteney Cox-Arquette, Jennifer Aniston, Matt LeBlanc, Matthew Perry, David Schwimmer and Lisa – were made into global stars by the series, which ended in 2004.

But the gorgeous Ashley says the hard work and sleep deprivation is worth it since Twilight mania has been such an incredible adventure. “You have to be very careful about saying the grass is always greener on the other side,” Greene, 22, tells MovieFone. Like some of her co-stars, Ashley took up mixed martial arts (MMA) training and hit the gym regularly to prep for the grueling action sequences in New Moon, Eclipse and Breaking Dawn. Judging from her athletic good looks, the hard work appears to have paid off. New Moon, which co-stars Taylor Lautner, Robert Pattinson, Kellan Lutz and Kristen Stewart, comes out Nov. 20.]]></description>

After boosting her breasts she now wants to fix her “witch-like” nose.  Plastic surgery can be addictive. In some cases it can get out of hand.

<link><![CDATA[http://bit.ly/jFmNx]]></link><description><![CDATA[Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt attended a private art viewing at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Los Angeles on Nov. 14. Jolie looked stunning in a strapless Armani Privé gown while Pitt rocked a dashing Tom Ford tuxedo. While the svelte 5'7" beauty looked slim, she looked nothing like the emaciated anorexic whose weight is rumored to have plummeted below 100 pounds. Pitt, who flaunted a rippling six-pack in the epic drama Troy (2004) and Mr. and Mrs. Smith (2005), has reportedly cut back on his workouts. Meanwhile, Jolie--who bounced back into killer shape after both her pregnancies (in 2005 and 2007)--reportedly stays in shape by doing Pilates on a Nintendo Wii console and following a healthy, low-calorie diet. Angelina and Brad also have a high-tech gym at Chateau Miraval, their estate in the South of France.]]></description>

<link><![CDATA[http://www.theimproper.com/film/?p=26]]></link><description><![CDATA[Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner are getting a preview of their star power, with five days still to go before the premier of “New Moon,” the latest in the “Twilight” vampire franchise. The movie has shattered records for ticket pre-sales, according to online ticket outlet Fandango. “For many fans, it’s clearly the year’s most anticipated film event,” says Fandango Chief Operating Officer Rick Butler. “Ever since tickets went on sale on August 31, it’s been among our top five weekly ticket-sellers, as New Moon has a strong pull on audiences. We’re seeing a higher-than-usual number of tickets per transaction for this film, suggesting that moviegoers will show up en masse at theaters this weekend with their friends and family.”]]></description>

<link><![CDATA[http://www.celebrityhealthfitness.com/?p=1067]]></link><description><![CDATA[“Twilight Star” Robert Pattinson would hardly be called a picture of fitness. To him, working out is “torture,” he smokes, and he’s not big on healthy foods either. In fact most of the Twilight cast have pretty unhealthy habits. Quaffing beer is one of Rob’s favorite pastimes and working out, well, it isn’t. But when he found out he would be spending time shirtless in scenes in upcoming sequel “New Moon” he took drastic action. So what did he do to get those abs in shape]]></description>

<title><![CDATA[Taylor Lautner: I Carried Around Bags of Meat to Gain Weight ]]></title>
<link><![CDATA[http://bit.ly/PkupU]]></link><description><![CDATA[Twilight hunk Taylor Lautner carried around plastic baggies filled with meat and potatoes to eat around the clock in order to gain weight for New Moon. Lautner, 17, famously gained over 30 lbs. of muscle to play the hulking werewolf Jacob Black in the Twilight sequels. But the naturally lanky Taylor was so busy with meetings, rehearsals and other pre-production work that he resorted to eating out of plastic baggies to make sure he didn't lose any weight. "Yeah, so I carry around a Baggie and it has meat patties in it," Lautner says in the new issue of Entertainment Weekly. "The worst is not the patties. It's the sweet potatoes. They get raw and cold and gushy." New Moon, which co-stars Robert Pattinson, Kellan Lutz, Ashley Greene and Kristen Stewart, hits theaters Nov. 20.]]></description>

<title><![CDATA[Robert Pattinson Stunning in New Vanity Fair Photos ]]></title>
<link><![CDATA[http://www.theimproper.com/?p=282#more-282]]></link><description><![CDATA[Robert Pattison has ridden the fame train full tilt for more than a year. Thanks to a $37 million indie film called “Twilight,” the 23-year old actor vaulted from obscurity to Hollywood icon at light speed. But one look at his latest photo shoot in Vanity Fair magazine and his appeal as a sex symbol is undeniable. Rob sizzles, pouts, looks hurt, sneers and seems in some shots to be adrift in another world far away from the reality of his current existence. The vampire love story has gone on to gross $373 million worldwide and created a fan hysteria not seen since the days of ’50s film star James Dean. Rob’s life has become a whirling non-stop carousel, one he didn’t quite bargain for when he signed on to do the film. See a slideshow!]]></description>

Singer Jennifer Lopez and dethroned Miss California Carrie Prejean have both been embarrassed by sex tapes they made when they were young. Prejean, however, is making a wacky claim that the sex tape is being used to “destroy” her because of her controversial views on gay marriage. What gives? The real question is why did she ever make a sex tape in the first place. The truth is sex tapes have become a ticket to celebrity for a number of well-known, well, celebrities, who don’t have any real talent. Think Paris Hilton and Kim Kardashian.]]></description>

But Stewart has finally confirmed that whatever characters Bella Swan and Edward Cullen have on screen doesn’t exist between the two stars off screen. “The whole rumor tabloid stuff is so obviously false to me, and I knew it was false even before I became a part of it,” Stewart says.
