Kim Kardashian was spotted out and about in Studio City, CA this past Thursday afternoon…

Kim Kardashian Feels Like a Zoo Animal

Kim Kardashian appears on the cover of Cosmo magazine in a sweatshirt that barely doubles as a dress and opens up to the mag about the worst parts of being a celebrity.

“Sometimes I feel like a zoo animal. I’ll be a restaurant, and someone will put their phone in front of my face and take a picture without saying hi.”

Stop eating at Rainforest Café. Problem solved.

Kim spends the rest of the interview mostly talking about Kris Humphries and the impending wedding.

Although she wanted to stay single she couldn’t resist the 26 year-old NBA player, “I thought he was so cute, and he gravitated toward me because I was so anti-relationship at that point. He wasn’t used to that.”

They are having a sort of shot-gun wedding, dating for only several months they plan to wed at the end of summer. “When you know you want to spend your life with someone, why wait?”

They are also rushing to have kids, “I’m sure at some point in the next year I’ll want to have babies…Maybe we’ll start trying at the end of the year. After the wedding.”

Kim Kardashian Joining Project Runway

Every girl needs a break! Celebutante Kim Kardashian is taking a little breather from all the wedding hoopla to join Project Runway as a guest judge for one episode.

The newly engaged reality star, who has also appeared as a guest on America’s Next Top Model, is slated to crop up during the ninth season of the popular show. Guest judges normally ask the contestants to design a garment for a specific event coming up in the star’s life. Hmm... maybe one lucky designer will craft the wedding dress of Kim’s (and their) dreams?

Guess we’ll just have to wait and find out when Project Runway Season 9 debuts in July!

Khloe Kardashian Throws Kim Engagement Party

Khloe Kardashian has thrown her sister Kim a last-minute engagement party.

The 30-year-old socialite got engaged to basketball star Kris Humphries last month and younger sibling Khloe, 27, wanted to mark the occasion with an exclusive bash for close friends and family, but had just three days to plan it.

Speaking about the party - which took place last Thursday (16.06.11) - Khloe said: "We obviously move really fast in my family. We're so crazy busy, and Kris was going back to Minnesota to be with his family. We were trying to find a day where the two fiancees could be there with all of us. On Monday (13.06.11), we realised that Thursday was open, so I was like, 'Am I really going to throw a party on Thursday?' "

Khloe - who married basketball star Lamar Odom in 2009 - enlisted the help of her wedding planner to help organise the party.

The reality TV star said: "She did my wedding in nine days, so I was like, 'You can put together an engagement party in three days!' It was really fun."

Khloe says the engagement party was a great way for Kim and Kris to meet all of each other's friends and family.

She told Us Weekly magazine: "Everybody had the best time and got along. It was so sweet see everyone hang out with each other."

Jay Leno Lights Kim Kardashian’s Engagement Ring On Fire!

Talk show host Jay Leno had Kim Kardashian on the edge of her seat during a recent TV interview when she allowed the presenter to put to rest rumours her 20.5 carat diamond engagement ring is a fake - by setting the sparkler alight.

Basketball star Kris Humphries proposed to the TV beauty last month (May11), presenting her with a Lorraine Schwartz ring worth an estimated $2 million (£1.25 million), but the couple has been dogged by allegations the huge gem is just for show, and Leno decided to help Kardashian settle the matter once and for all when she appeared as a guest on The Tonight Show on Tuesday (14Jun11).

Leno explained that there was only one true test to tell whether a diamond is real or not - if the stone is bogus, the chemicals in the synthetic material used to make up the gem will cause it to catch fire.

A nervous Kardashian tentatively handed over the pricey piece of jewellery, laughing, "Wait, since I'm into contracts, will you sign a contract so that if something happens to it you will pay the insurance?"

Leno agreed, replying, "The nice thing is that if it's real, then nothing will happen, but if it's fake then obviously this Mr Humphries has some explaining to do."

The comedian then held a lit match up to the ring - and it became engulfed in flames, prompting the studio audience to gasp as Kardashian forced a smile.

But Leno quickly calmed the reality star's fears by revealing it had all been a big prank and that he had switched the ring for a cheap imitation.

Kim Kardashian to include Boyfriend Kris Humphries in reality series

Kim Kardashian has revealed that her beau Kris Humphries will feature in the next series of Keeping Up With The Kardashians.

The couple started dating in December, and Kim said that she feels it is only right to include the NBA player in the show.

Appearing at the Midori Melon Liqueur launch, the 30-year-old told Us Magazine, '[Kris] is in my life, so he will be on it a little bit. He won't be the main focus of the show or anything, but the reality of my life is that he is in it, so yeah, he will be on the show.'

She added that so far, he is managing to cope with the extra press attention. 'He's great,' she said. 'It was a good test for him. He is totally fine with it and he makes it easy.'

And a move to New York to be closer to Kris could even be on the cards according to one insider.

'This is it for her,' the source said. 'I foresee an engagement this summer.'
