My new eye liner love ~ Dollywink Liquid Liner

IMG_0392

There are no words to describe how much  I love my Dollywink liquid eyeliner right now. The tip is very thin yet sturdy and the color is a nice deep black, not at all inky like some drugstore brands and it applies like a dream. If you are semi monolid like me and need a very accurate and sharp eyeliner to bring out your eye shape, DW eyeliner is really amazing. WOW.  Plus it doesn’t hurt that the eyeliner and packaging is mega cute!

A simple and really fast look that I did using Dollywink liquid liner and kate brown collection BR1.My eyeliner strokes are never this fine but the fine tip of DW makes it so easy. Sharp lines are very easy to draw now! Smile

Hmm.. the KATE brown collection BR1 actually showed up well in my microshots. I’m using fairy drops mascara btw

Just what Mexico needs... a gym run by Madonna

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6XHUXdDB0jsendofvid

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER

Get into the groove: Madonna teaches a dance class at the opening of her new gym in Mexico City


It's not exactly the first location one might associate as the chosen spot for a grand gym opening from the Queen of Pop.

And one might have thought there may have been other more worthy projects she could have put her very famous name to.

But as it is, Madonna has opened the doors to her brand new Hard Candy gym in Mexico City, and treated a hand selected troupe of new members to work out with her.


5,6,7,8: The Material Girl's new venture is called Hard Candy Fitness


Standing at the top of the class in head-to-toe Nike fitness gear, the superstar led a group of 20 hand-picked members through a routine to music by Paul Oakenfold, the DJ who opened her tour last year.

And there is no mistaking who owns the gym.

A huge mural of Warhol-esque images of the Queen of Pop greets each client as they walk through the sliding doors.

The 30,000-square-foot building is located in the city's upscale Bosques de las Lomas neighborhood.


High energy: The singer led 20 hand-picked gym members through a routine with music by Paul Oakenfold, who opened her last tour


Grand opening: The fitness fanatic cut the ribbon at a ceremony earlier


Earlier in the day she attended a ribbon cutting ceremony dressed in a black and white striped dress and thigh-high boots.

The star said she chose Mexico City because it was a stop on last year's Sticky & Sweet tour, which grossed $408 million and she liked the energy of the people.

The gym's name, which shares the title of her last album, she said, is the perfect combination of 'hard body' and 'eye candy'.

'It's a sexy name that gives you the opportunity to have fun and to build strength as far as the imagination will allow,' the singer said.



New franchise: She chose the city to open her first gym because 'she liked the energy of the people'


Good example: The 52-year-old health junkie showed off her own toned physique in a mini dress and thigh-high boots


'She chose the graphics, colors, the machines,' said Chris Dedicik, general director of California-based New Evolution Ventures, Madonna's partner in creating the gym.

'She has weighed in on the choreography of all the classes and given them a twist to make them more dynamic, more special and to better reflect her style.'

Members can do cardiovascular exercises on five types of advanced-technology machines chosen by Madonna, many with individual viewing screens and iPod docks.

The yoga instructors are trained in various styles of the ancient Indian art, inspired by the knowledge the singer has accumulated in her travels.


Material Girl: Madonna's face lines the walls of her new gym in Mexico, called Hard Candy Fitness


'Harder is better': The singer hand-picked the graphics, colours and the machines


The yoga room will also have a special wall used in Iyengar yoga, one of very few in the world according to Dedicik, with ropes and steps to help people with less physical ability. A balcony outside will feature plants and Zen-style decor, all at the singer's request.

'If any of you have seen my shows, you know that I don't skimp on them and the same is true for the gym,' she said. 'We spend what it takes to make a globally first-class gym.'

Membership runs 2,000 pesos a month, about $160, generally in line with what the best gyms charge in Mexico City.


She's watching you! Madonna's presence looms large throughout the facility


The one-time fee for joining is 10,400 pesos, about $830, which includes the first two months of membership. Those who signed up before the opening paid an initiation fee of 8,900 pesos, a little over $700, also including the first two months.

Members who have signed up so far didn't seem to care about matching Madonna's workout feats. Those using the gym during a weekend preview said they liked the equipment and features and cited proximity to their home or work as their reason for joining.

Ronen Waiss, businessman and Honorary Consul of Lithuania in Mexico, said his office is two doors away and he registered long before he was told it was a venture by Madonna.



Madonna mania: Hundreds of fans queued outside for a glimpse of their idol


'I think it's super sexy and motivating of course, but I didn't know till after I joined,' said Waiss, 32.

'But it's attractive to me because it's close and has the best computer technology. That's what caught my attention.'

Clara Ruiz, a 59-year-old housewife, said she, too, chose the gym for location. But she likes the facility and wishes Madonna success in her new venture.

'She has a lot of experience in this,' Ruiz said. 'She's done it all her life. I think she chose what for her is the best.'

Michael Douglas is optimistic about his recovery as he announces return to work

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ju7ZFlSwN8Uendofvid


[starttext]

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER

On the mend: Michael Douglas has signed on to play Liberace in a new film which begins shooting in the spring


Oscar winning actor Michael Douglas has been in treatment for throat cancer since August.

But the 66-year-old star is so eager to return to work that he has signed on to take the lead role in the Steven Soderbergh directed biopic Liberace which begins shooting in May.

The film will chronicle the life and fame of the extroverted and celebrated pianist and also stars fellow Oscar winner Matt Damon.

The veteran actor recently spoke to The Hollywood Reporter about his treatment and revealed that he will learn in January if the cancer has been eliminated.

Doctors have told him that his type of cancer has an 80% cure rate.

Douglas admitted to the weekly trade magazine that his diagnosis has brought him closer to his 93-year-old father Kirk, with whom his relationship has always been strained.

'He really made an effort,' Michael said.
'He was back here almost 10 days. He came over everyday. He was great.'


Larger than life: During his heyday, which spanned the 50s and 70s the always flamboyant Liberace was the highest paid entertainer in the world


He voiced his understanding for the reasons behind the breakdown in their relationship in the past.

'In those key years, when Kirk was doing five movies a year, if we saw him it was only out of his guilt,' Douglas says.

He also acknowledges that he may have repeated that pattern with his own son, Cameron Douglas, 31, who was recently jailed on drug-related charges.

'I'm sure it's not easy, either, being a third generation,' Douglas says. 'Kirk was all-consumed, was overworked. Probably like myself at a certain time in my life.'

Imran’s ‘Break…’ leaves Sharman looking for ‘Allah…’


Bollywood heartthrob Imran Khan starrer’Break Ke Baad’ has drawn more eyeballs than Sharman Joshi’s grungy avatar in ‘Allah Kay Banday’, industry insiders said.

‘Break Ke Baad’ has grossed Rs.16 crore during its first weekend in the domestic market, said the films’ publicist.

Industry insiders said that ‘Break Ke Baad’ opened with an average occupancy of 40 percent over the weekend, while ‘Allah Kay Banday received poor response and swung between 15-20 percent with almost negligible initial. Both the movies hit the screens Friday.

”Break Ke Baad’ has been good with close to 70 percent weekend occupancy. Youngsters are liking it… It is a very contemporary movie and they are associating with it,’ R.K. Mehrotra, manager, Delite Diamond, told IANS.

R.K. Mohan, an executive from Sathyam Cinemas, Chennai, added: ”Break Ke Baad’ is going well and the shows are going on in full swing. ‘Allah Kay Banday’, on the other hand is not doing that great.’

Co-produced by Kunal Kohli Productions and Reliance Big Pictures for Rs.18 crore, ‘Break Ke Baad’ released across 750 screens in India and recovered its production and marketing costs much before its release by selling satellite rights.

Directed by debutant Danish Aslam, the romantic comedy talks about modern day relationships and features Deepika Padukone in the female lead.

‘Allah Kay Banday’, on the other hand, is also made by first time director Faruk Kabir.

Produced by Ravi Walia on a budget of Rs.5.5 crore, it was distributed by PVR Pictures. It also stars Naseeruddin Shah and Kabir in the lead alongside Sharman.

”Break Ke Baad’ has been good, however, ‘Allah Kay Banday’ has done average business. Both have been Ok on the whole,’ Kaushik Gachha, operations associate, INOX cinemas, City Center, Kolkata, told IANS.

An executive from City Pulse multiplex, Ahmedabad, said: ”Break Ke Baad’ is doing good and the footfall is really impressive here with about 40 percent occupancy over the weekend. ‘Allah Kay Banday’ on the other hand is going cold and not that great.’

Alpana from Cinemax, Mumbai also said: ‘We have had an Okay Okay response for both the movies. If compared between the two, ‘Break Ke Baad’ is being appreciated more than ‘Allah Kay Banday’.’

I'm A Celebrity: Did Kayla Collins REALLY have to wear such a revealing monokini for Celebrity Chest task?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qB5Gt87ESoEendofvid

[starttext]
By SARAH BULL

Revealing: Kayla Collins wore an incredibly revealing monokini to take part in the Celebrity Chest task with Jenny Eclair on I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!


When she was told she would have to wear swimwear to take part in the Celebrity Chest task on I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!, exhibitionist Kayla Collins couldn't believe her luck.

The 23-year-old Playboy Playmate quickly searched through her array of swimsuits to find the skimpiest one, before eventually deciding on an incredibly revealing black monokini.

However, 50-year-old comedian Jenny Eclair, who took part in the Celebrity Chest with Kayla, was less than impressed when she found out she would also have to don a swimsuit.


Get snappy: Jenny and Kayla had to unscrew teeth from a crocodile's mouth inside a pungent swamp


However, Jenny said: 'Kayla was fantastic, every time she got out of the swamp she did it with a beautiful ballet toe, pointed ballet toe. I was envious of that!'

Despite winning the chest, Jenny said she didn't hold out much hope that the rest of camp would be able to answer the question to fully unlock the chest.

She said: 'We won’t win it, we never do. We always get the chest wrong. Completely pointless exercise, might as well have just sat in that camp all afternoon.'

But when Jenny and Kayla returned to the camp, the rest of the celebrities were keen for them to have a wash before they tried to answer the chest.

And the pair were furious when their fellow contestants tried to start answering which of the quotes was said by which of their former campmates - to win the chest they had to correctly answer six out of the seven questions.


Going for it: The girls eventually managed to win the chest after working well together as a team


Jenny was not happy, adding: 'We did all the hard work for that, we should read them out.'

She moaned: 'Well that’s lovely for me isn’t it? Wearing a swimming costume next to Kayla, I’ve got a massive rash rampaging all up my neck and shoulders, I’ve got cellulite riddling all up the backs of my legs and I’m going to be standing next to Kayla in a swimming costume.'

She then added: 'Kayla is much much fitter than I am, in every sense of the word.'
As they got close to the chest area, Jenny and Kayla smelt a 'horrible stench' from the pool, and quickly realised they would have to get in to it.

The aim of the game was to pump open the jaws of the plastic crocodile, unscrew its teeth and place them on to a giant key.

They would have to get a certain amount of teeth to release the smaller key that would unlock the chest.

But Jenny refused to wear just a swimming costume, insisting on wearing her shorts, adding: 'I’m not taking my shorts off when I’m standing next to a 22 or 23-year-old glamour model, I’m not mad!'

And while the pair quickly got the hang of the task, Jenny said the hardest part was getting out of the swamp elegantly.


Delighted: Kayla couldn't conceal her delight as Aggro helped her and Jenny take the chest into camp


She then added: 'For me that was a lot more strenuous and a lot more difficult than doing any of the Bush Tucker Trials I’ve done…It nearly killed me…I think when we came back me and Kayla should read them out.'

Kayla then read out the quotes and the celebrities succeeded in guessing the answers to all seven quotes and won spices, salt and pepper and seasoning.

The quotes included: 'People forget that I'm that old, they think I'm Peter Pan', which was said by Shaun.'

The celebrities later started talking about Kayla, with Dom saying they had started to see the real side of Playboy star Kayla.

He said: 'The real Kayla is coming out and I don't think it's a very pretty sight. I think she's probably very high maintenance in real life.'

It was 'Dunnygate', where Kayla had to clean up faeces left in the jungle toilet, that ensured the celebrities began to get to know the real star.


Run! Dom Joly completed the Bushtucker Trial of Savage Garden Centre


Struggling: Dom had to root around in a variety of horrible containers to find the stars


Dom added: 'Dunnygate was the real Kayla there, that's pretty girl syndrome. She had an anger in her eyes - she was angry.

'She’s not stupid, well she is quite stupid but she is street smart. She is tough.'

He added in the Bush Telegraph: 'The real Kayla is coming out and it’s not a pretty sight. I reckon she’s really high maintenance in real life. Ball buster is the word I’d use.'

Yesterday saw the exit of camp moaner Gillian McKeith, and the rest of the celebrities couldn't have been happier.

Former Happy Mondays star Shaun Ryder was absolutely delighted when the nutritionist was voted out, declaring: 'Fantastic, what a good choice public - I love the public. The public are very intelligent and wise.

'I'm a so relieved she's gone - all's fair in love and hate.'

Afterwards in the Bush Telegraph, Shaun said: 'It was wonderful to say goodbye to Gillian - absolutely great!

'I’m glad it was Gillian that went, personally for me, pure selfishness, couldn’t have been better.'



It's a smelly job: Dom had to root around in a huge pile of dung to find a star


Shaun's happy mood was then noticed by the rest of the campmates, especially Stacey who said: 'Shaun is as happy as Larry.

'I don’t know if its just because Gillian’s gone but he’s had a really good morning and I think he’s going to have a really good day today. Singing, dancing, smiling, that’s the Shaun we know and love.'

And later Jenny commented that Gillian had predicted her departure from the show, adding: 'She packed her bags, she had her coat ready, she’s a witch…she knew when she was going.'

Later in the show, the celebrities were seen trying to decide which of them would take part in the Bushtucker Trial, Savage Garden Centre.

Dom quickly volunteered for the trial in order to redeem himself after refusing to spend a night in the cave of terror the night before.

He said: 'I should do it as I didn’t go in the cave and I’ve not done one for a while. I’m going to have to face it. I don't know what this one is so it's a risk.'


Playtime: The celebrities were treated to a game of pass the parcel but it wasn't as fun as it first appeared


On his way to the trial, Dom explained: 'One of the reasons I did this today is that I felt I needed to get out and get the adrenaline pumping - I like adrenaline and I like being under pressure.'

When he got to the trial clearing, Dom was told he would have to try and find seven stars that were hidden in a giant greenhouse, two water pots and giant dung heap that made up the Savage Garden Centre.

A clue to the location of each star was given by a garden gnome before the 30 second limit to find the star began. Dom was also told the star would have to be placed in a wheelbarrow before the 30 seconds ran out for it to count and be considered a meal for camp.

But Dom wasn't too happy about the trial, telling Ant and Dec: 'It wasn't what I was hoping for. I'll be brutally honest with you, lads.'

For the first star, Dom was told to 'check out those boxes on the side' by the garden gnome, and quickly rummaged through to find the star before the time ran out - seemingly unconcerned by the rats inside the boxes.


Not so good: Dom was disgusted when he found out there were cockroaches in the package


However, he was unable to locate the second star in the set time.

At one point Dom muttered: 'This is it, the lowest moment in my television career!'
He then won a further two stars but lost out on the rest despite the fact he declared before he started: 'I want to beat Aggro because he’s a very tough rapper and I want to disrespect him to the max.'

So, at the end of the task, Dom only succeeded in getting three stars for camps - meaning three meals to share between the seven remaining celebrities.
Afterwards, he said: 'That was Aggro level, I’m very disappointed with that - it spells loser to me.'

Coming back to camp to inform the celebrities of his trial result, Dom said: 'I thought I’d chicken out, there were spiders there but I threw them across the room, I also got dung on Ant and Dec so that deserves a star.

'I did it all but it was just more annoying that I couldn't find them. But there's nothing I can do about it.'


Yuk! Kayla started screaming when she found a 'leech' on her arm, but her fellow celebrities played the incident down


Having a chat: Jenny and Dom take about their fellow campmates as they sit on the communal sofa


Later the celebrities were treated to a game of pass the parcel, to the soundtrack of In The Jungle.

Wearing party hats, the stars passed around the box, but it was Linford who opened the first layer to find hoards of cockroaches.

Dom said: 'Seriously, for one night, just leave the bloody cockroaches!'
And Kayla added: 'This games sucks, we should be getting food, they know how hungry we are.'

Each layer of the parcel contained a gift from a former contestant, and the first one had Gillian McKeith's own brand health bars inside.

But Dom was less than impressed with the gift, saying: 'Would you eat them? Look at the way she has behaved for the past three weeks, would you really think, "I need whatever health bar she's eating?" Come on!'


He's out: Linford was the latest celebrity to be voted off


Other gifts include coconut butter from Alison Hammond and antiseptic wipes from Britt Eckland.

And it seems being in the jungle is taking its toll on Dom and Jenny, who both admitted they are bored with the conversation between campmates and living in the jungle.

Jenny said: 'I’ve felt fine, weepy, mad, fine, weepy mad today and I’m not sure I can go through another day. It’s like time has stood still like groundhog day.'

Dom added: 'I’ve had it with this endless round of conversation, I need to talk to someone else, if you weren’t here I would have definitely walked, I need to talk about something else, I sit here and listen to endless conversations about sh** music I hate.

'It is groundhog day in ever decreasing circles, I could very much do with Kayla going. She’s really annoying me for no reason at all it’s totally not her fault, it’s mine.'

And while Jenny said Kayla hasn't been annoying her, she added: 'She doesn’t do anything for me at all. I try to be sympathetic but she’s totally disinterested in me and what I do, she’s only asked me one question, what I used my mayonnaise for at home. She told me today she’s worried about her cat.'

Dom agreed: 'That’s the big emotional issue of her life. I think she finds you frightening because you are old. You represent her future.'

Slightly offended, Jenny replied: 'I’m trying not to be insulted by that! She finds Hugh Hefner a bit disgusting to her credit, she cringes about all the girls who actually sleep with him.'

In the evening, the camp were given three kangaroo sausages following Dom's performance in the trial.

And while Dom said he shouldn't have any of the meat, the rest of the camp insisted he should have a little bit of the sausage.

However, Kayla started to annoy Linford when she tried to put herbs and seasoning in with the beans.

He later said: 'I do not like taking orders in the kitchen. The person who is cooking should do the cooking.'

With only seven celebrities left in the camp, conversation topics are starting to dry up, prompting Shaun to tell his campmates about his troubled childhood involving vandalism, theft and selling stolen goods.

The singer admitted: 'As a child I loved getting chased and climbing, also stealing and entering and vandalism. On our industrial estate we had a Schweppes and a Bulmers and by the age of 12 I’d screwed the lot of them.

'I robbed them all. I sold the booze to an ice cream man. Once someone broke into our junior school, chopped the heads off the hamster and guinea pigs, sh** all over the place, smashed the place up and wrote Shaun Ryder on the blackboard. They spelled me name wrong of course.

'Before I was ten, three kids grabbed hold of me and held me down while one booted the hell out of me.

'We also used to get ping pong balls put them in silver paper, burn them and they’d be smoke bombs.'

Will Cheryl Cole's assault conviction stop her from getting green card and being U.S. X Factor judge?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AqPitpK9cdIendofvid

[starttext]

By BEN TODD

Judge's problem: Cheryl Cole's assault conviction may prevent her being granted a U.S. visa to take up her role on the American version of the X Factor


Cheryl Cole’s American dream may be scuppered – as a result of an assault conviction seven years ago.

The Daily Mail told yesterday how Mrs Cole had landed a place on the judging panel of the U.S. version of the X Factor in a deal worth up to £3million.

However, now Mrs Cole’s American dream may be jeopardised by her conviction for assault occasioning actual bodily harm (ABH) in 2003.

U.S. law states that all convictions – indeed, all arrests – have to be disclosed on visa application forms.

Some less serious offences may not affect work visas.

However, according to Susan McFadden - a partner with Gudeon and McFadden law firm who specialise in U.S. visa and immigration - in more serious cases an appeal to the U.S. authorities may be necessary.


Snapped: Cheryl Tweedy, as she was then, arrives at Kingston Crown court charged with punching toilet attendant, Sophie Amogbokpa ...


‘If the conviction is for something that triggers ineligibility the person would have to appeal for a waive,' she said.

Miss McFadden added that her firm had been instructed by the U.S. embassy that with regards to more serious crimes it would depend on ‘facts regarding the conviction' before a decision is made.

However, she said this can lead to 'permanently ineligibility' from being allowed a U.S. work visa in certain cases.


.. and departs after being found guilty of the assault


Mrs Cole attacked Sophie Amogbokpa, a toilet attendant, at Drink nightclub in Guildford, Surrey in January 2003.

In October that year, Mrs Cole was found guilty as assault occasioning actual bodily harm.

At the time, Mrs Cole – who had been catapulted to stardom the previous December after her band Girls Aloud emerged from TV show Popstars: The Rivals - was sentenced to 120 hours unpaid community service.

She was also ordered to Miss Amogbokpa £500 compensation and prosecution costs of £3,000.

Mrs Cole – who was 19 at the time - punched Miss Amogbokpa after she tried to stop the singer taking some lollipops.

Despite the shame, Mrs Cole’s career has since gone from strength to strength.

As well as achieving huge success with Girls Aloud, last year she launched a solo music career. She has since secured two No1 albums on her own.

She has also been a hugely successful judge on the X Factor.

As we said yesterday, on Saturday night Mrs Cole was officially offered the job as a judge on the US edition of the talent show.

The singer had already been in discussions to launch her music career in the U.S. next spring.

A show source said: 'When Cheryl goes to America she will also launch her music career there too.

'It's the next part of her big plan, she's an incredibly hard worker and she will definitely get a boost by appearing on the X Factor, which is set to be a sure-fire hit.'

X Factor Svengali Simon Cowell, 51, has revealed he plans to officially announce the judges for the U.S. version later this month.

Mrs Cole, who has an estimated £10million fortune, will earn £1.5million for this series of the X Factor - but will make up to twice as much from her U.S. television deal, as the budget for the show is considerably larger.

She is already accustomed to the U.S. lifestyle, having spent weeks in Los Angeles working on her music and spending time with her close friend Derek Hough as she recovered from malaria.

She was in California as her divorce from her footballer husband Ashley Cole was finalised in October.

Proof that the Kardashian sisters were always posers

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pwkfb1-thNcendofvid

[starttext]

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER

Seductive: Previously unseen pictures show Khloe Kardashian posing in a bathtub of sweets


They are more famous for walking the red carpet and being followed by the paparazzi than for much else.

So obviously the Kardashian sisters have working the camera down to an art form.
And judging by these previously unseen family photographs, it is something they learned from a young age.

Khloe Kardashian, 26, is seen in one picture reclining in a bathtub full of sweets, sucking seductively on a lollipop.


Despite showing off the raunchy picture, the reality star has spoken out against young girls feeling pressured to grow up too fast.

Appearing on talk show The View with her sisters to promote their new book Kardashian Konfidential, Khloe revealed how she lost her virginity at 14 to an older boyfriend.

Khloe, 26, opened up about losing her virginity at age 14 to her 18-year-old boyfriend, and how much she regrets it now.

'Looking back I think that's not a normal thing,' she admitted, saying she almost felt 'conned' by her older partner.


Sibling stars: Kim, Kourtney and Khloe Kardashian showed off childhood photos when they appeared on The View this morning


'Well, not conned, but persuaded, because he was older and I felt I wouldn't be accepted or cool or whatever,' she said.

'Then I do remember when I was done, I felt, after two months of secretly dating this guy, I felt so disgusted with myself,' she added.

'I stopped talking to him and actually didn’t have sex for three years after that because I knew I was young and I knew I wasn’t ready.'

'I felt so disgusted with myself,' Khloe said.

Say cheese! Kourtney, Khloe, Rob and Kim made a very cute little gang


'“Don’t let anyone pressure you, it’s not worth it and how I felt afterwards.'

She then admitted that perhaps she should have followed the guidance of her parents, mother Kris Jenner and father Robert Kardashian.

She said: 'I should have listened to my parents.'

Kourtney, Kim and Khloe have opened up in the autobiography about their lives, including about the pain of losing their father Robert in 2003.


Teenage dreams: Khloe, Rob, Kim and Kourtney pose with little Kendall and Kylie


So sweet: Khloe, Kourtney and Kim have always been close


The sisters and their brother Rob lost their father Robert seven years ago, when he died, aged 57 from throat cancer.

But, although he is gone he is obviously not forgotten, and Kim, Khloe and Kourtney still hold his memory dear to their hearts.

Long before his daughters became reality TV stars, Robert was the original famous Kardashian - renowned for his legal work and for being a key player in OJ Simpson's infamous murder trial.


Ubertan! Kim attended the New Jersey Nets vs Portland Trail Blazers basketball game at the Prudential Center in Newark New Jersey, last night


Back in the day: Robert Kardashian, who died in 2003, is flanked by his three teenage daughters, Khloe, Kourtney and Kim in an old family snap


Robert's license to practice law had actually expired three years prior to Simpson's arrest following the murder of his estranged wife Nicole Brown and her friend Ron Goldman.

But he reactivated his license so he could serve as a volunteer assistant on Simpson's defence team, and sat by the ex-NFL player's side throughout the trial.

The two, who had been friends since meeting in 1970, were so close that Simpson actually stayed with the Kardashian family at their house following the murders.


Original star: Robert became a family name when he came out of retirement to volunteer as an assistant on his friend OJ Simpson's legal defence team


But it was clear that his daughters remember him for way more than his legal eagle defence skills.

The three girls appeared on the Today show this morning in New York as part of their promotional tour for their new autobiography, Kardashian Konfidential.

They shared their stories about their rise to fame with Today show host Matt Lauer and also shared some candid shots of the girls and their father from their family album.

Robert had divorced from the girls' mother, Kris in 1990 and went on to marry Ellen Pierson just months before he died in September 2003.


Family time! The Kardashians enjoy Thanksgiving at Bruce and Kris Jenner's house


But Robert remained close to his girls, and son, Robert Jr. and was an integral part of their lives as they grew up.

The girls showed off various pictures from happy times they spent with their father, including a group shot of the teenage girls grinning widely whilst playful Khloe pokes out her tongue.

There's also a picture of their proud father flanked by his two oldest daughters, Kourtney and Kim on a family skiing trip.


Lovely ladies: Kim poses with her grandmother as they partake in the Thanksgiving feast


And despite growing up in a privileged, wealthy family, thirty-year-old Kim told Lauer that their mother and father always raised them from a young age to appreciate the value of money.

In fact, Kim shared that when she borrowed money from her father he made her repay the amount with interest.

The three elaborated further on that in their autobiography.

'Our dad used to say, "Nothing in life is for free, you girls aren’t going to get just whatever you want." The girls wrote.

'So no credit cards. He did let us use his credit card but we still had to pay for our own stuff beyond the basics. Our parents wouldn’t foot the bill for Gucci shoes or designer clothes.

'If we wanted to do any serious shopping, we had to come up with the cash.

'Kim even went into debt with our dad once and had to pay him back plus interest. It was just a couple thousand dollars, but to us, that was a lot.

'And our mom and dad made it very clear that we would be totally cut off after we finished school. So we all learned early on if you want money, you have to earn it.'

Despite obviously missing their father, the Kardashians still enjoy a fun-filled Thanksgiving as a family.

Kim posted on Twitter about Thanksgiving and put up pictures of the extended family, including her step-father Bruce Jenner, half sisters Kendell and Kylie and Khloe's husband Lamar Odom.

She says: 'Here are some pics from Thanksgiving at my mom and Bruce's house! I am so thankful for my amazing family! We had a great time.


New venture: The sisters appeared on the Today Show in New York this morning to promote their autobiography, Kardashian Konfidential


'I'm so glad Lamar was able to take a break from his hectic basketball schedule to join us. Even Gunnar came! He is my trainer and a good family friend, so it kind of made me feel bad for eating so much! LOL.

'How cute does my grandma MJ look? As you can see, Mason was not really feeling me that day, LOL.

'Another amazing Thanksgiving with my wonderful family. I hope you all had a relaxing and enjoyable Thanksgiving! I'm so thankful for you all.'
