Nicole Richie

In a way, Kim Kardashian's rise to fame is a true Cinderalla story, but with a giant butt and a gallon of lube instead of a dainty foot and a glass slipper.

Before the Kim Kardashian sex tape and her subsequent rise to fame, she was just another So-Cal rich kid with dreams of hitting the big time. 

For several months, we've been hearing that Nicole Richie and Joel Madden are headed for divorce.

All the tell-tale signs were there: Nicole stopped wearing her wedding ring; she and Joel were living in separate homes; and they were very rarely seen together in public.

For the past few months, rumors that Nicole Richie and Joel Madden are getting divorced have been circulating online, and neither party has done anything to put a stop to the gossip.

Sure, Joel wished Nicole a happy Mother's Day on Instagram, but he also called her his "friend" in the post. That sounds like amicable split talk to us.

For months now, we've been hearing that Nicole Richie and Joel Madden are on the brink of divorce.

Last week, several sources reported that Nicole kicked Joel out and had stopped wearing her wedding ring in public. Not exactly the most encouraging signs. 

Last month, another round of reports that Nicole Richie and Joel Madden are headed for divorce began to circulate online.

The couple has been married since 2010, and rumors of Joel and Nicole calling it quits have been around for almost as long, but this time it likes the rocker and the reality star are actually going their separate ways for good.

One of the great things about reality TV is watching stupid people get stupid drunk.

But unfortunately, for some of these stars, things go too far  Most recently, that was the case for The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills cast member, Kim Richards.

Last week, we reported that Nicole Richie and Joel Madden were on the brink of divorce, and friends of the couple didn't expect them to last through the year.

Now, it looks as though the situation is even worse than previously thought, and Richie and Madden may be announcing their separation within the next few weeks.

Joel Madden and Nicole Richie are on the rocks and on the brink of divorcing after eight years of dating and four years of marriage, according to a new report.

Remember when Kim Kardashian was actually good friends with Paris Hilton?

What about when The Hills were alive with the sounds of laughter between Lauren Conrad and Heidi Montag? 

It was a year of racial unrest and major computer hackery.

It was a year that saw Kylie and Kendall Jenner abandon the attention-hogging shadow of their half-sister.

With the calendar set to flip to 2015, we've been running it back for the past few days on The Hollywood Gossip and reflecting on the glorious year that was.

Remember all the celebrities who gave birth over the past 12 months? What about the 15 biggest scandals to go viral since the beginning of the year?

Back in July, reality star Bethenny Frankel wore her 4-year-old daughter's clothes on Instagram, and found herself harshly criticized for glamorizing an unhealthy body ideal.

Apparently Nicole Richie didn't learn from the Skinny Girl's ordeal, as she recently posted a photo of herself rocking 6-year-old daughter Harlow's jacket online:

Last week, rumors that Lionel Richie is Khloe Kardashian's father surfaced online after some amateur geneticists noticed that Lionel's daughter Sofia kinda looks a bit like Khloe.

Khloe denied that Lionel is her dad right off the bat, but Richie has been silent on the matter until today:

What does an Oscar winner have in common with a former Jersey Shore cast member?

How can the First Lady of the United States relate to the woman who had sex with Ray J on video camera?

In a recent interview, Kaley Cuoco discussed her boob job, and claimed it was one of the best decisions she'd ever made.

Given the $90 million contract Kaley just signed for three more seasons of The Big Bang Theory, it's clear that things are going well for her.

Wait... who bought weed from whom in high school?!?

Happy Throwback Thursday, Internet users!

Earlier today, we posted what many consider to be one of the greatest old pictures in the history of camera use, as Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson posed in 1990s garb that included a fanny pack.

Self-portraits, aka selfies, have been around since the dawn of cheap photography. But now, thanks to the Internet, the selfie has become something of an epidemic. Or a favorite pastime? 

Taking selfies can totally be a hobby. Or at least that's what we'll tell ourselves. Even if Katy Perry says selfies are a disease.

Remember when Nicole Richie and Paris Hilton became two of the first reality TV stars with The Simple Life?

We think it's safe to say few would've guessed that 7 years later they'd both still be semi-relevant and one of them would actually be living the life of a well-adjusted grown-up!
