The Real Reason Kim Kardashian Didn't Give Her Baby a "K" Name 

Everyone expected KIM KARDASHIAN to give her baby a "K" name, especially since the kid's father KANYE WEST also has a "K" name.  But it turns out that's exactly why she didn't.

In the latest episode of "Keeping Up With the Kardashians", she explained, quote, "If we name our kid with a K name, which is kind of what we want, mainly just because Kanye and I are K's, then . . . they'll call us the KKK."  (Here's video.)

(That's gotta be Kanye's paranoid hang-up.  Because Kim is ALREADY a "KKK" with her sisters Khloe and Kourtney.)

Selena Gomez Partied With Justin Bieber . . . And Says She'll Always Care About Him

But on "Good Morning America" Friday, Selena said, quote, "He and I have had such a history together.  I'll always care about him and protect him if anyone tries to be mean."  (Here's video.)

Then on Saturday, Selena celebrated her 21st birthday at a club with several friends . . . including Justin.  He showed up with JADEN SMITH, and brought Selena a single red rose.  Then Selena and Justin left TOGETHER at about 2:00 A.M.

DJ Khaled Proposed to Nicki Minaj on MTV 

HIGHLIGHTS:  Rapper DJ KHALED proposed to NICKI MINAJ in a video that aired on "MTV News".  He also flashed a supposed $500,000, 10-carat ring.  There's no word how Nicki feels about this.  There are some reports that she actually filed a restraining order against him.

FULL STORY:  Rapper DJ KHALED stopped by MTV News last week to film a video in which he PROPOSES to NICKI MINAJ.

He said, quote, "Nicki Minaj, I'm at MTV, I'm going to be honest with you;  I love you.  I like you, I want you, I want you to be mine . . . Only reason I'm not telling you this face to face is because I understand that you're busy."

Amanda Bynes' Parents Say She's Paranoid and Burning Through Money at an Alarming Rate 

HIGHLIGHTS:  The petition AMANDA BYNES' parents filed for a conservatorship was released Friday.  They say Amanda is paranoid, obsessed with body image . . . and she's burned through $1.2 million in a really short period of time.  They said, quote, "We believe that a substantial amount of this money is being used to pay for marijuana and other illegal substances, and possibly for plastic surgery."

FULL STORY:  In their petition to establish a conservatorship over AMANDA BYNES, her parents say she's paranoid and burning through money at an alarming rate.  The paranoid behavior started even before Amanda moved to New York. 

Her parents said, quote, "She would cover smoke alarms with towels, tape windows shut, and cover her car's dashboard with cardboard and tape out of fear that cameras were watching her from inside these places."

They also addressed her obsession with the idea that she and others are UGLY, and said she constantly talks about plastic surgeries she wants to have.

And they say she's gone through $1.2 million of her estimated $4 million savings in a very short time.

Amanda Bynes' Parents Say She's Paranoid and Burning Through Money at an Alarming Rate  (continued) 

They said, quote, "We believe that a substantial amount of this money is being used to pay for marijuana and other illegal substances, and possibly for plastic surgery."

And they said that when they asked Amanda how she got back to L.A. from New York, she told them she, quote, "cabbed it."  They also don't know where she's been staying since she came back, and they believe she's, quote, "essentially homeless."

Meanwhile, Amanda wants OUT of the hospital.  They extended her 72-hour stay to two weeks, but she'll be asking for an early release at a hearing this week.

(On a related note, check out some pictures of a hotel room Amanda trashed in New York City before she left.)

From the Very Bowels of Human Excess:  Did Reese Witherspoon Get a $1,500 Haircut? 

HIGHLIGHTS:  REESE WITHERSPOON reportedly treated herself to a $1,500 haircut on Saturday.  She went to a high-end salon in Beverly Hills where they, quote, "treat each strand [of hair] in its own way, in order to achieve the most natural effect.  ANGELINA JOLIE and SALMA HAYEK are also fans of the procedure.

FULL STORY:  How much did your last haircut cost?  15 bucks?  50?  Heck, even a hundred is NOTHING compared to what REESE WITHERSPOON shelled out.

On Saturday, Reese went to the Rossano Ferretti Salon in Beverly Hills, where she got her hair done for a mere $1,500.  (!!!)

This is a high-end joint that has its very own, patented hairstyling method, called the Ferretti Technique.

Here's how the salon's website explains it:  "Each strand of hair has its own structure and movement . . . With sensibility and care, the designer treats each strand its own way, in order to achieve the most natural effect.

"This belief is why [our haircuts] are so subtly carved, to create a harmonious image each time.  A haircut that is like a work of art."

ANGELINA JOLIE and SALMA HAYEK are reportedly also fans of the Ferretti Technique.

A "Hunger Games" Parody is in the Works 

There's a "Hunger Games" parody in the works called "The Starving Games".  And if that title makes you groan, well, the movie itself isn't likely to get a better reaction out of you.

Again?  NBC Wants to Keep Jay Leno Around After Jimmy Fallon Takes Over 

HIGHLIGHTS:  Hey, guess what:  NBC is trying to figure out a way to keep JAY LENO around after he leaves "The Tonight Show".  There's no word on what may be on the table, but supposedly Jay has "a lot of ideas" of things he'd like to do.  Awesome . . . this is just the vote of confidence JIMMY FALLON needs!

FULL STORY:  Here's something that may sound STRANGELY familiar:  NBC is trying to figure out a way to keep JAY LENO around after he leaves "The Tonight Show" in February, when JIMMY FALLON is taking over.

A higher-up at NBC says, quote, "We've been having conversations, [and] talking about various ideas.  Nothing would make us happier than to have him stay on the network, and [Jay's] got a lot of ideas."

There's no word what any of those ideas may be, but regardless, it sure sounds a little ominous . . . especially since "keeping Jay Leno around" was the main reason for the mess with CONAN O'BRIEN in 2010.

(How about this:  Jay launches a new show . . . that's just like "The Tonight Show", but it airs in primetime, at 10:00 P.M. every night.  Then there's a brief, 30-minute break for local news.)

(Then the real "Tonight Show" airs with Jimmy Fallon behind the desk.)

(If this doesn't work out, Jay could always bring his show back into the "Tonight Show" timeslot, and Jimmy's show could just air after Jay, just like now.  And if Jimmy refuses, he can quit to go join TBS with Conan.)

Phil Robertson Thinks He Won't Do "Duck Dynasty" Much Longer, But the Show Will Continue Without Him 

HIGHLIGHTS:  PHIL ROBERTSON . . . the patriarch of the family on "Duck Dynasty" . . . is planning on walking away from the show soon, but he doesn't think his departure would signal the end of its run.  He says, quote, "I think it'll go on without me."  He didn't say specifically when he might hang it up.

FULL STORY:  PHIL ROBERTSON . . . the patriarch of the family on "Duck Dynasty" . . . is planning on walking away from the show soon, but he doesn't think his departure would signal the end of its run.

"Parade" magazine recently asked Phil how long he wants to continue being involved with the show . . . and he said, quote, "Not long, but I think it'll go on without me."

Phil didn't elaborate . . . but we can assume that he'll still be heavily involved on Season Four, which premieres on August 14th.  (Since most, if not all, of it has probably already filmed.)

Phil's son WILLIE says the show has brought the family "a whole lot closer."  He adds, quote, "It's probably the opposite of most reality shows.  And nobody gets a big head because we're doing it all together."

Willie, who's the CEO of the family's duck call company, Duck Commander, says they thought the show would be good for business . . . and it has been.  They expect to sell more than 750,000 duck calls this year, which is up from 60,000 in 2011.

Phil Robertson Thinks He Won't Do "Duck Dynasty" Much Longer, But the Show Will Continue Without Him  (continued)

Is Tara Reid Not Being Invited Back for the "Sharknado" Sequel? 

HIGHLIGHTS:  Rumor has it TARA REID will NOT be invited back for the "Sharknado" sequel . . . but IAN ZIERING will be.  But Tara says that's NOT true.  By the way, about 200 Regal movie theaters nationwide will have midnight showings of the original "Sharknado" this Friday night.

FULL STORY:  Syfy has already started working on the upcoming "Sharknado" sequel, and sources tell TMZ that IAN ZIERING will be back, but he'll be the ONLY returning cast member.  In other words, TARA REID is getting a pink slip.

Tara played the estranged wife of Ian's character.  Her character survived a crazy attack when SHARKS BROKE INTO HER HOUSE.  There's no word why she isn't coming back . . . if this rumor is true.

Is Tara Reid Not Being Invited Back for the "Sharknado" Sequel?  (continued) 

For what it's worth, Tara Tweeted, quote, "There is no script for 'Sharknado 2' . . . Until I read it then I will make a decision, but everyone that's saying I got cut, that's not true.  Liars."

Ian and Tara both banked $50,000 for the first "Sharknado".  It's probably safe to assume that Ian would make a lot more for the sequel . . . but there's no official word on anything at this point.

By the way, Regal movie theaters will be hosting MIDNIGHT showings of "Sharknado" at about 200 of their theaters across the country THIS FRIDAY NIGHT.  Tickets will cost $12.50 each.

To see if your local theater is participating, hit up RegMovies.com.  (You can purchase your tickets now, here.)

Drinking Lots of Coffee Cuts Your Risk of Suicide in Half?

  I'm not sure you needed ANOTHER reason to drink coffee . . . your addiction will make sure you never, ever stop . . . but here ya go.

According to a new study out of the Harvard School of Public Health, drinking coffee will make sure you never want to KILL YOURSELF.

The study found that adults who drink two to four cups of coffee per day are HALF as likely to commit suicide as people who don't drink coffee.

It's because coffee acts as a mild ANTIDEPRESSANT, by triggering your brain to release serotonin and dopamine . . . which are the chemicals that give you a feeling of well being.

The authors of the study DID say that coffee alone probably isn't enough if you're seriously depressed.  But for the rest of us, yeah, coffee is enough.

The Top Ten Cities With the Worst Drivers . . . and Five Are in Florida

There's a new study out on the WORST DRIVERS in America, and one thing's clear:  If you're in Florida and somehow no one shoots you, they'll probably end up running you over.

HALF of the 10 worst driving cities in the U.S. are in Florida, including the number one city, which is . . . Miami.

The rankings are based on several factors, including insurance claims, fatal accidents, drunk driving deaths, and pedestrian injuries.

There are a couple problems though:  The data isn't consistently available for every city, especially smaller ones.  Also, they used Allstate's insurance data, and they don't insure in Massachusetts, so Boston wasn't eligible.  And those people drive like lunatics.

But still, it's about as thorough of a look at the worst drivers in the country as you're going to get.

The top 10 worst driving cities are:  Miami . . . Philadelphia . . . Hialeah, Florida . . . Tampa . . . Baltimore . . . New Orleans . . . Orlando . . . Fort Lauderdale . . . Houston . . . and Providence, Rhode Island.  (Slate)

A Woman Dies in a Car Accident . . . When Her 1915 Model T Flips Over

On Friday morning, a 51-year-old woman died in a car accident . . . when her 1915 Ford Model T flipped over.  She was participating in a tour with a Model T Club, and pulled over in Utah to let cars pass.  But one of the wheels went off the pavement, the wooden spokes separated, the car rolled over, and it didn't have rollover protection or modern seatbelts.

A spokesman for the Model T club says they're devastated . . . and this is the first accident they've ever had on one of their tours.  (Huffington Post)
