That was in November. Now Kim is said to be dating the New York Jets handsome quarterback, Mark Sanchez.

Rumors are saying that Kim and Mark actually go way back. They were secretly dating during the first season of Kourtney and Kim Take New York, way before Kris Humphries was on the scene, according to TerezOwens.com. The two are apparently now back to getting hot and heavy with each other.

“Kim and Mark like to meet in hotels for dinner dates and flings’” a source tells the sports blogger. “Whenever Kim is in New York, they hang out. They are very careful with not being seen together, Mark is seeing someone!”

The source goes on to state that Kim and Mark are planning a super secret rendezvous this Super Bowl weekend.

So, do we believe these rumors? Mark is certainly Kim’s type: handsome athletic gorgeous jock, and Sanchez likes a celebrity girlfriend; he has previously dated Jessica Szohr and been linked to Hayden Panettiere. Also, recent reports that Kim was dating Tim Tebow have been firmly put down in the last week.

Could that be because Kim and Mark are getting it on?

The celebrity blogger posted an open letter to the music impresario, detailing why he thinks he would be perfect as a judge on The X Factor USA’s second season.

In the video, Perez cited his 4.5 million followers on Twitter, the millions of fans who regularly visit his website and listen to his radio shows. He also points out his keen interest in music as reasons why Cowell should consider him as a judge for the Fox singing competition.

“Most importantly I am a huge music lover and I bring with a lot of experience and expertise in the world of music. I have been a huge champion and early supporter of such artists as Lady GaGa, Katy Perry, Adele and Amy Winehouse.”

Well, at least he has shown he would be interested in the girls’ category!

Hilton said he would just be himself, which is just fabulous anyway. He would keep it real, sharing his honest opinion as “the viewer and the expert.  He said he watched last season and was shocked that the judges seemed to be “feeding the contestants and the audience a bunch of BS.”

Perez Hilton says he would happily screen test for the X Factor judging role. He added that he would give 100% of his salary to charity GLSEN.

“I will do whatever it takes! I’m Perez Hilton and I’m your next X Factor judge.”

Replacements have yet to be announced for departing judges Paula Abdul and Nicole Scherzinger and host Steve Jopnes, so would you like to see Perez Hilton fill one of those roles?

A recent report suggested that Mariah Carey may be a possibility. She was due to join Simon Cowell on the Judges’ Houses stage of the competition.

“I love this person and miss him terribly,” she said.

Russell hanged himself just weeks before the second season of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills premiered. A significant part of the reunion was taken up with the women discussing the impact of his death and the further subsequent domestic abuse revelations.

Kyle Richards said she was “Shocked. I thought it was a lie, I thought it was a mistake.”

Taylor, who has written a memoir dealing with the abuseshe suffered at Russell’s hands, broke down in tears as she remembered those days after finding her husband hanged in a friend’s house in L.A.

“At the time I couldn’t even focus on the show and it didn’t even matter to me,” she admitted. “I was suffering a tremendous loss just worried about how this happened.  This could potentially have been the love of my life,” she sobbed.  “

Taylor then spoke about how the abuse she claims she suffered at the hands of her husband began to affect her self esteem.

“I would often say just hit me so we can get this over with because I knew this would end it.”

The other Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, except Camille Grammer supported the airing of the domestic abuse issues and counseling the Armstrongs undertook. Adrienne Maloof said she thought the show “saved Taylor’s life.”

Taylor described being in Las Vegas on her 40th birthday and receiving a shocking text from Russell that said “Happy Birthday A–hole. F— you, you psychotic bitch.”

The three part reunion continues next week as The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills continues when the newest housewife Brandi Glanville really tells the other women what she thinks of them!

Rumors of an X Factor shake-up are now becoming clearer, and it seems the show bosses want to make sweeping changes in an attempt to win the ratings war.

Steve Jones revealed on his Twitter page last night that he will not be returning to host the second season of The X Factor USA, which has already been commissioned.

Nicole Scherzinger is also now known to have gone, but Fox are yet to confirm that Paula Abdul has also exited stage left.

It is not yet known exactly why Scherzinger left the show but for months she has been saying she wants to concentrate on her music career, rather than become known as a talent show judge. She has been known to be unhappy that the US release date of her album Killer Love has been pushed back on a number of occasions, which Scherzinger said last month was due to her X Factor commitments.

But why is Nicole Scherzinger leaving The X Factor? It is widely speculated that her motives may not be just to concentrate on singing. Lord Andre Lloyd Webber is said to be interested in recruiting her for his new ITV talent show Superstar in the UK.

Flavin (43) married the Rocky star in 1997, they have amassed a huge fortune and live in a massive mansion in Beverly Hills. They have three children together.

Real Housewives of Beverly Hills stars Lisa Vanderpump recently sold her $19 million home in the same neighborhood and Adrienne Maloof still lives nearby with her hubby Paul Nassif.

We previously told you that Taylor Armstrong is worried that she is going to be axed from the hit Bravo show, and some think Jennifer would make a great replacement.

“Jennifer would be great on the show, she’s married to a super famous guy and she’s friends with a few of the women on the show,” a source said.  “She has her own business and she’s really successful all on her own. Plus she’s got a great personality for reality TV.”

Flavin has already appeared in competition style TV shows such as Gladiator and the Contender, which Sly also appeared in, and she founded the skin care line Serious Skin Care.

But there could be a snag. Friends don’t think her husband Sly would ever let her be on the show.

We’ll see, I guess, but do you think Jennifer would be good on the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills?

Hiding From Reality is the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star’s new book, and in it she reveals how Russell Armstrong beat her and spied on her throughout their marriage and how he even called her names in front of their young daughter.

“Russell stormed in and started screaming ‘F— you. Get the f– out of my life,” an excerpt obtained by Us Weekly reveals. The books says that at the time Russell was screaming this abuse at her she had their daughter in the bed with her.

Taylor alleges that Russell told the child “Your mom’s a whore, your mom’s a b—-.”

Taylor (40) also writes about how, following a bachelorette party for Lisa Vanderpump’s daughter Pandora, Russell accused Taylor of sleeping with a Chippendales dancer. This is when he hit her so hard she wound up in the hospital.

Apparently at the time Russell also accused her of exaggerating her injuries, for which she sought emergency treatment.

But she said that the injury revealed that 40 percent of the bone that supports the eye had been fractured and that she would need reconstructive surgery and that there was also a risk that she would suffer a permanently sunken eye for the rest of her life following surgery. This was the event that she says finally was enough to “snap me out of the spell Russell had over me” she reveals.

However, Taylor’s book reveals that Russell was abusive for years, but things got worse after their daughter Kennedy was born.

“He would grab my hair and bang my head against the side of the car between the two doors, or against the glass of the passenger-side window while he was driving, because it made his point to me but didn’t leave a visible mark,” she alleges.

Taylor Armstrong said she tried to fight back but then Russell warned her,

“Don’t ever do that again because I almost killed you. One of these days, I’m afraid I’m going to kill you.”

Instead, Russell took his own life in August 2011. He isn’t here to answer the allegation in the Taylor Armstrong memoir but it makes shocking reading.

Kim did not attend the show’s reunion, but taped a separate solo interview with Bravo’s Andy Cohen. In it, she explains why she checked into a rehab facility as the show wound down this season.

“I’m an alcoholic,” she said. “I’m an alcoholic.”

The socialite Kim is aunt to Paris Hilton. Previously on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills she admitted to taking a cocktail of prescription pills, including Lexapro, Trazadone and Topamax. It seems she also has a problem with alcohol.

The admission will no doubt remind reality TV fans of last season’s finale when Kim fought with her sister Kyle after she called Kim a delusional and demented alcoholic, adding, “Mom had to die and leave this on my shoulders!”

Rumor has it that Kim has finally decided to seek treatment because Bravo faced her with the boot from Real Housewives if she didn’t. That is quite something from a show which thrives on the drama of its stars such as Camille Grammer’s divorce from Kelsey; Russell Armstrong’s suicide and the subsequent allegations that he beat wife Taylor over a long period of time.

The first of the three-part Real Housewives of Beverly Hills reunion special airs Monday at 9/8c on Bravo.

Country singer Scotty, who was last year’s American Idol champion, urged this year’s hopefuls not to become “stressed out” during the process.

The Trouble With Girls singer said he made the mistake of ettinbg stressed out by the Fox reality TV contest a few times in his season. But he stressed that the contestants are “just there to sing, have fun, and really entertain the crowd.”

Scotty said he would advise new contestants not to let the TV aspect of the competition to get to them or otherwise they would not be able to sing and entertain the audience to the best of their abilities.

He said the way to achieve success on the show was to “stay laid back, get your songs right, work hard, and you’ll be set.” Scotty McCreery was certainly known for being pretty laid back in his American Idol season.

So who of the American Idol 2012 contestants does Scotty think are in with a good chance of winning?

Of course the teenager name-checked David Leathers Jr, who as we previously told you appeared alongside Scotty in a singing competition before American Idol. But he also has his eye on brother-and-sister duo Schyler and Colton Dixon, who he met at season ten’s Hollywood Week.

Scotty recently said that he was looking forward to watching the new season of American Idol because he would be able to understand what the contestants are going through. But it would be a very different experience watching them this year.

McCreery’s debut album Clear As Day was recently certified platinum. He is currently touring with Brad Paisley.

Following reports that Khloe couldn’t sleep after OJ Simpson stated he was actually her father (don’t tell me that wouldn’t give you nightmares too) another, perhaps more likely candidate for Khloe Kardashian’s biological father has emerged.

Kris Jenner’s hairdresser Alex Roldan. At least these two share a passing resemblamce to each other.

This news comes after Robert Kardashian’s ex-wives said he revealed to them that Khloe was not his real daughter. Since then, of course, there has been intense media speculation around the true identity of Khloe’s dad.

But now the Blind Gossip website says they have the answer to who fathered Khloe Kardashian.

Alex Roldan, Kris Jenner’s hairdresser. He worked on a music video that Kris Kardashian did for her 30th birthday called “I Love My Friends.” Alex is now a hairdresser in West Hollywood. Alex is tall (around six feet) and of bigger build: two features which set Khloe apart from the other Kardashians.

Of course, this is not conclusive proof that Alex Roldan is Khloe Kardashian’s real father. But you may be interested to note that Khloe’s middle name is Alexandra. So did Kris name Khloe after her real father?

Maybe we will all soon know his identity, as it has been reported that her mother Kris Jenner wants to introduce Khloe’s real biological father as a plot point on a “very special episode” of one of the Kardashian shows.

Before you freak out at the insensitivity of that, let me just point out that the same source alleging this reality TV revelation also says that the Kardashians, including Khloe and her siblings, already know who her bio dad is. So we have only spoiled the surprise for fans of the show, not Khloe herself.

What are you thoughts? Has Khloe Kardashian’s real father finally been revealed?
