This time of year brings out the best in all of us, and even Kim Kardashian is getting into the holiday spirit. The tarnished star has traveled to Haiti to spend some time “giving back” with the charity cWe Advance, which calls itself “a movement to advance the health, safety, and well being of women throughout Haiti.” It was co-founded by actress Maria Bello, who’s also on the trip. According to a source, this isn’t Kim’s attempt to do some last minute damage control: “Her intention was always to take the end of the year to focus on some of the other things that are important to her and this trip was one.” Of course her mother Kris Jenner is also with her, lest Kim get one bit of attention that she’s not involved in.

I’ll disappear and come back with a record when it’s good enough. There will be no new music until it’s good enough and until I’m ready.

- I had a boyfriend. He kissed me, for God’s sake. My Dad didn’t like him. He said he wasn’t right for me. In many ways it was a narrow escape. I was in love with him but he made someone else pregnant soon after. My Dad decided that particular boy was not for me.
