kim kardashian engagement ring. She’s definitely known for preferring the finer things in life, and it seems Kim Kardashian's now-fiance Kris Humphries knows it all too well.
The NBA stud reportedly plunked down a cool $2 million for the Lorainne Schwartz diamond sparkler, according to TMZ.

Furthermore, Kim’s engagement ring is comprised of a 16.5 carat emerald cut center stone bordered by a 2 carat trapezoid on each side.
Following the proposal, Miss Kardashian told press, “I didn’t expect this at all. I was in such shock. I never thought it would happen at home, and I never thought now.”

Kim Kardashian and boyfriend Kris Humphries left holding the baby as they celebrate Kourtney's 32nd birthday in Mexico
Basketball player Kris Humphries has only been dating Kim Kardashian a few months.

But it looks like he's fully been welcomed into the large Kardashian family as he joined the reality star and her family for a group holiday to Mexico to celebrate big sister Kourtney's birthday.

The New Jersey Nets player, 26, looked like one of the family as he cosied up to Kim, 30, and her toddler nephew Mason at Kourtney's 32nd bash at their Joe Francis' Mexican beachside villa.
Despite his girlfriend of five months admitting she's broody due to her close relationship with her nephew Mason, 17 months, the 6ft 9in player, 26, didn't look too scared.

The Kardashian clan and their friends all decamped from their native Los Angeles to Casa Aramara - the luxury holiday home in the Mexican resort of Punta Mita owned by Girls Gone Wild founder Francis.

Francis has previously leant his home to Jennifer Aniston, Demi Moore and Orlando Bloom in recent years.


After having an early birthday celebration at Gallery nightclub in Las Vegas, Kourtney and the family jetted to Mexico for her actual big day on April 18.

Upon arrival, she was greeted with a traditional mariachi band and a gooey chocolate cake, which her son Maxon couldn't wait to get stuck into.

During the party, Kim and Kris couldn't keep their hands off each other as they cuddled and kissed.



Staying at Francis's Mexican hideaway has become somewhat of a tradition for Kourtney, who has spent the past four birthdays relaxing at his compound.

After finally heading back to LA after six days in Mexico, Kourtney Tweeted: 'So sad to be home from the most amazing vacation in Mexico with the best friends and family ever.'

On her actual birthday, Kourtney wrote: 'Thank you for all of the birthday wishes everyone!!!! I'm having a fabulous day so far. 32 years old and wiser than ever.'

'I work out seven days a week... but I still have jiggly thighs and cellulite,' admits Kim Kardashian
Reality star Kim Kardashian has admitted that she still has jiggly thighs and cellulite - despite an intensive exercise regime.

In a new interview, the reality star reveals she usually manages to exercise seven days a week - but says she still has hang-ups about her enviable figure.

And Kim, who was pictured dining out in West Hollywood last night with RnB star Ciara, admits that her weakness is her love of food.

'Of course I struggle with insecure moments,' she tells U.S. fitness magazine, Self. 'I wish I didn't. But I love to eat! Especially sweets.'

'And I'll say it. I think my thighs are jiggly and I have cellulite. Now let's move on!

'Because when I put the time in at the gym, I'm confident. You have to feel good to look good.'

Kim, who is famed for her curves, says her motivation for staying trim is seeing herself in a bikini.

'On days when I need extra motivation, I just think: 'Bikini, bikini, bikini!'' she says.

Whether or not she's motivated Kardashian says she makes it to the gym seven days a week when she is in Los Angeles.

Last year she admitted that she put on weight while she was filming in New York. But she says that her life is different when she is on the West Coast.

She says: 'When I'm in LA I exercise every day, I'm in the best shape of my life.

'Of course, I'm a perfectionist, so there's always room for improvement.

'I lift weights with my trainer, Gunnar Peterson, in the morning three days a week.

'After working out, I see a difference in my butt and thighs and my clothes fit a little differently, too.

'I'm also really proud of how toned my arms are.'

These days Kardashian says she celebrates her best assets.

She tells Self readers: 'Find the one part of your body that you love and accentuate it. 'For example, because I have a small waist, a big butt and thin legs, belts work for me.

'You have to know what looks best on your body.

'Growing up I saw only skinny models and didn't relate. Salma Hayek and Jennifer Lopez prove you can be curvy and proud!'

In the interview, Kim also blasts rumours that she has had plastic surgery, saying that she has 'always had big lips,' and her nose and bum are natural.

'Rumours don't bother me anymore,' the Kourtney and Kim Take New York star says.

'I've read that I've had my lips done.

'I've always had big lips. Look at my baby pictures. It's ridiculous.

'Or they'll show one picture of me today and one tomorrow and say I've had my nose done in between.

'When? Didn't you see me yesterday?

'And how many times have I 'had my butt done'? People's logic is so weird.

'I don't know why they bother! You can't worry about all the gossip.'

Reality star sisters tackle manicures, shopping, lunching and partying all in one day

There are so many in the Kardashian clan, they can get a lot done in one day.

Reality stars Kim, Kourtney and Khloe Kardashian appeared to be everywhere yesterday, doing what they do best - shopping, pampering, and partying.

While most mere mortals clocked on for a day in the office, Kim, 30, was enjoying a pampering session at a Beverly Hills nail salon.

The model, entrepreneur and now singer was typically glamorous in a leopard print shirt, black skinny jeans, towering Fendi heels and a Hermes handbag for her mani and pedi.

Kim's left the salon in flip flops after having her red nails changed into a more subtle French manicure ahead of a girls night out last night.

Miss Kardashian was later spotted at trendy STK restaurant in Los Angeles, where she dined with a group of girlfriends including Kelly Rowland and Serena Williams.




The reality star changed into a white and black dress for the dinner, with nude platform heels.

But it wasn't all relaxing and dining out, Kim did manage to get some hard work in too. She tweeted yesterday: 'Rise & grind! Had a really hard workout with my mom very early today! Feels good to get it out of the way! Now off to a fun photo shoot.'

Meanwhile, Kim's sisters Kourtney and Khloe were enjoying a day in the sunshine with their other halves.

Youngest sister Khloe, 26, had lunch at Cafe Med at the Sunset Plaza in West Hollywood with her husband, LA Lakers player Lamar Odom.




Never one to fade into the background, Khloe stepped out in bright red jeans with eye-catching shearling and leather buckled boots.

The loved-up couple laughed and wrapped their arms around each other as they strolled back to their car after lunch.

Khloe and Lamar, 31, who are about to star in their own reality spin-off series, also paid a visit to an office building in LA, and left hauling a Louis Vuitton suitcase.

Eldest Kardashian Kourtney also dined out yesterday. The 31-year-old was spotted outside La Scala restaurant with partner Scott Disick and baby Mason.



She spends half her time in New York, where partner Scott grew up, while Kim has her own luxury mansion and Khloe has moved in with husband Lamar.

Speaking to Cliq magazine, Kourtney said of Khloe: 'Kim and I feel like we don't know what's going on in that house. Every time we call she's being all secretive and whispering. We just don't know what she's doing over there.

'It's weird. ever since we got our own houses, I just don't go over there to just hang out and watch TV. We just don't do that.'

To celebrate pal Eva Longoria’s birthday Saturday, Kim Kardashian got “all glammed up for a fun 1920s-themed party!”

The reality star, 30, accessorized her fringed frock with a fur shrug and a blinged-out diamond necklace. Also joining in on the festivities: Sister Khloe, 26, and Project Runway host Heidi Klum, 37!

Kim even shared a photo on Twitter of herself and Klum “getting our ganster on” at the lavish bash. “I love this ’20s era!”

Still, the E! star’s pre-party plans were notably less glamorous. “Watching The Notebook,” Kim tweeted. “I think I’m gonna cry.”

Kim Kardashian has often followed, intentionally or not, in the footsteps of fellow socialite Paris Hilton. Both women have privileged backgrounds, became well-known pop culture symbols, earned notoriety via sex tapes and used their fame into hit reality TV shows.

Now, Kim has set her sights on the music world. Last week, the “Keeping Up With the Kardashians” star dropped her first single, the self-released “Jam (Turn It Up),” produced by The-Dream.

In its first five days on sale, the bouncy dance number sold 14,000 downloads according to Nielsen SoundScan. That’s not enough to enable a debut on the 75-position Digital Songs chart — No. 75 this week is Nelly’s “Just a Dream,” with 26,000 sold.


How does that compare to Hilton’s start?


The hotel heiress had a more robust bow with her 2006 debut, “Stars Are Blind.” The Warner Bros. tune launched on the Digital Songs list at No. 10 with 52,000 in its first week and parlayed those sales into a No. 18 bow on the Billboard Hot 100.

Paris later went on to release her (so far) only album, “Paris,” in August of the same year. It entered the Billboard 200 chart at No. 6 with 77,000 sold in its first week. To date, the set has moved 197,000 in the U.S.

Kim Kardashian Premieres Her Pop Song

Well, it was only a matter of time. Paris Hilton did it, after all. So did Lindsay Lohan (and LiLo's sister, Ali Lohan), Heidi Montag, Brooke Hogan, Kelly Osbourne, The Situation, and a couple of Gossip Girls and Real Housewives. So now tabloid-courting E! reality starlet Kim Kardashian has naturally recorded her own pop song. I'm actually surprised it took her this long.
No, it's not a cover of Sir Mix-A-Lot's "Baby Got Back"...although that would have been awesome, of course. It's also not "Shake"--the presumed original full title of which must have included the parenthetical prefix "(Do Fries Come With That?)"--which "leaked" online last November and was initially mistaken by the entire Interweb to be Kim's rumored first single.

But the "Keeping Up With The Kardashians" bombshell, known more for her big curves and big hair than for any sort of big singing voice, has recorded a song perhaps misleadingly titled called "Jam (Turn It Up)." So...is it any good? In a word, no. In two words, HECK no. More like "Turn It Down," I say. It basically makes Paris Hilton's "Stars Are Blind" warbling like something by Janis Joplin, and could probably even make Heidi Montag cringe (if Heidi was actually facially capable of cringing, that is).
The song was recorded with The-Dream, whose Love King was one of 2010's most critically lauded R&B albums and whose writing and production work for other artists includes Beyonce's "Single Ladies," Rihanna's "Umbrella," Mary J. Blige's "Just Fine," and Mariah Carey's "Touch My Body." But sadly, it seems like Kim just dragged The-Dream down to her nightmarish level. He really should have known better.
The journalists and bloggers who were so quick to praise Love King aren't being so kind when it comes to The-Dream's latest pet project. Popdust wrote that "the heavily flanged Kardashian sounds barely engaged with her own song." Crushable declared the single "laughably bad and nearly unlistenable." And Neon Limelight said: "What really kills the song are the horrid vocals. Kim coos through the song lifelessly singing about taking shots and dancing the night away at her favorite spot. Is this club filled with zombies? They're the only creatures she's courting with that monotonous tone."
So what exactly is Kim cooing about? Well, the not-exactly Dylanesque chorus basically goes something like this (give or take a few "yeahs"): "Turn me up, turn me up, turn me turn me turn me up/Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah." Catchy, huh?
Other sample lyrics include:
"I'm going out tonight, it's going down/Headed straight to the front of the line, on the fly/On the floor I can't stand still/And I'm goin' to work like I'm paying my bills."
"Rosé up in the air/Feeling good, feeling great, just got paid."
"DJ here I am/Feeling good, feeling great, just got paid."
"Girls in the building/Fellas in the club/Boys spending money/Girls looking good."
Like I said, it's not The-Dream's finest work. And anyway, with all the Auto-Tuning here, it sounds like Kim just collaborated with T-Pain instead. Listen to her musical debut below. Do you think Kim has a career in music?

She is usually so polished and put together.

But Kim Kardashian managed to completely lose her composure during a recent episode of Kim And Kourtney Take New York.

The reality star was visiting their new East coast Dash store to check on the refurbishments when she sat on a chair which had not been screwed together properly and it collapsed from underneath her.

The 30-year-old mogul ended up flat on her back on the floor with her legs in the air as her sister and the work crew looked on laughing.


Kourtney responded to the accident by chuckling to herself and saying: 'That was awesome.'

Kim saw the funny side and was laughing herself as she pulled herself off the floor and pulled herself together.
During the same episode, which aired last night, Kim had to say goodbye to Shengo, her Australian bodyguard turned boyfriend who had to return to his native country because his visa had expired.

Despite being distraught on the show, which was filmed several months ago, Kim has now moved on and this morning confirmed that she is now in a relationship with New Jersey Nets basketball player Kris Humphries.

Appearing on an episode of Rachel Ray with her mother Kris Jenner, Kim said she is 'not single' any more and then waved to the camera and said: 'Hi Kris!'
'I guess I’m just a hopeless romantic. As much as you want to try, I guess it’s not the worst resolution to break. I’m having a good time, I’m happy.'

Kim met Kris, 26, while living in New York filming her current reality show spin off.

The pair have never publicly admitted they were an item until now but have regularly been seen together over the past couple of months.
