Kim Kardashian to Self: 'I'm in the best shape of my life'

Kim Kardashian told SELF that her hair trick is not washing 'it every day, which helps it shine.'

Between her reality show, never-ending tweets and regular blogging, it's hard to imagine there's anything left people don't know about Kim Kardashian.

But the April issue of SELF magazine managed to squeeze out some new nuggets about the mini-mogul ? such as that she's not as confident as she comes off in photos.

"Of course I struggle with insecure moments," she told the magazine. "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!" she added.

The reality star, who has become best known for her curves, said she feels the most confident after putting in some much-needed time at the gym.

"You have to feel good to look good," she said. "On days when I need extra motivation, I just think: 'Bikini, bikini, bikini!' "

Though her exercise regimen took a pause last year during filming of her E! reality show "Kourtney and Kim take New York," Kardashian is more strict when it comes to working out in Los Angeles.

"When I'm in LA I exercise every day, I'm in the best shape of my life," said Kardashian, who keeps in shape with seven-day-a-week gym sessions.

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

Kardashian isn't just a stickler with her physique - she revealed that she's "the biggest neat freak" at home.

"I don't have people over for that reason, because I don't like anyone in my space," she said. "I think I was a housekeeper in my last life. Sitting at home in sweats and cleaning out my closet would be a perfect night for me."

Though Kardashian keeps "everything ? on a schedule," that doesn't mean she can do it all on her own.

"I just hired an assistant yesterday for the first time, basically because I always feel like I can do it better myself than anyone else," Kardashian told the magazine. "But it was just time. I'm just superorganized in general.

And the 30-year-old stays organized externally as much as she does internally with her feelings.

"Rumors don't bother me anymore. I've read that I've had my lips done. I've always had big lips. Look at my baby pictures. It's ridiculous," the brunette beauty said.

"Or they'll show one picture of me today and one tomorrow, and say I've had my nose done in between," she added. "When? Didn't you just see me yesterday?"

The entrepreneur ? she co-owns a chain of DASH clothing stores with her sisters Khloe and Kourtney ? also said that, despite her glamorous lifestyle, "everything in life isn't measured by money."

"Success is how you live your life and treat other people. I've always lived my life trying to be a good and considerate person," she said. "To me, love and family are everything. You need supportive people around you, and I hold on to them. I've had the same friends for a long time."

Kardashian said she also donates regularly to charities because it makes her "feel good."

Missing 'Detroit 1-8-7' would be a real crime

By Robert Bianco, USA TODAY

This week, maybe they should call it Detroit 9-1-1.

  • In the season finale, Detective Fitch (Michael Imperioli) gets a visit from his son, Bobby (Imperioli's real-life son, Vadim).

In the season finale, Detective Fitch (Michael Imperioli) gets a visit from his son, Bobby (Imperioli's real-life son, Vadim).

Sunday, ABC's Detroit 1-8-7 hits its first season finale, which just leaves time to send out a final distress call. If it were simply the best show you weren't watching, it would be bad enough. But after this special, post-Shark Tank 10 ET/PT outing ? an odd slot that is either a gift or a tomb ? it may also become the best show you'll never get a chance to watch again. And that would be criminal.

While the ratings, despite a slight recent rise, have not caught up, Detroit has grown into the best new broadcast show of the season, and the only freshman remaining that would be worth mourning should it depart. Without feeling forced or precious, the show has mastered the whole dramatic stretch: funny when it wants to be and yet moving when it needs to be.

What's more, the show is ending its first season with a great run of episodes. Still shaken by the murder of Detective Stone (D.J. Cotrona), whose "real" death after a staged fake one was one of the season's better surprises, the squad now faces a threat to Detective Fitch ? series star Michael Imperioli, as convincing and engaging here as he was in a very different role on The Sopranos. And if you need another Sunday draw, you get to see him act with his real-life son, Vadim, as Fitch's visiting son.

Yet beyond being a beautifully well-acted, increasingly engrossing crime drama, Detroit is a show ABC, and network TV as a whole, needs to make work. This is not just a series that proves the broadcast networks can compete with cable when it comes to serious dramas; it's the only network series that tries in any meaningful way to deal with the real-life struggles, burdens and joys of life in our large cities. That it's set and shot in Detroit, a great mid-America metropolis that seldom gets any airtime, is just the icing on the cake.

Like no other show on the air, and perhaps none since The Wire, Detroit uses its crime stories to explore and explain the city in which it's set. (At the moment, only The Chicago Code comes close, but its focus seldom strays from its fictional tale of corruption.) We see a proud, diverse city struggling to remake itself, its population split among those who are fighting against adversity, those who have given up, and those who are trying to pick the bones clean.

Still, as with any TV series, the real weekly draw is a strong cast of characters and actors ? anchored by Imperioli's Fitch, who follows in the footsteps of NYPD Blue's Andy Sipowicz as one of TV's classic, flawed cops. And speaking of Blue, that

show's James McDaniel has been equally good here as a soon-to-be-retired cop reconsidering his choices.

For one more week, non-viewers have a chance to reconsider their choices. Here's hoping a few more choose Detroit.

Witness McConaughey's talent in 'Lincoln Lawyer'

By Claudia Puig, USA TODAY

Operating out of the back seat of his chauffeured but shabby Lincoln Town Car, attorney Mick Haller is not exactly an ambulance chaser. But he is in the general neighborhood.

  • Matthew  McConaughey stars as Mick Haller, an attorney who gets more than he  bargained for with his latest case.

By Saeed Adyani, Lionsgate

Matthew McConaughey stars as Mick Haller, an attorney who gets more than he bargained for with his latest case.

More shifty than ghoulish, he's the kind of guy who pays off bail bondsmen and calls it client development.

A street-smart charmer, Mick is as comfortable in Los Angeles's seediest corners as he is before a jury. And Mick, as embodied by Matthew McConaughey, is a near-perfect match of material and actor.

Since McConaughey has spent much of his recent career languishing in silly rom-coms, it's easy to forget that he lit up a courtroom in 1996's A Time to Kill. That swagger, that rakish smile and that offhand drawl convincingly power McConaughey's portrayal of this slick legal hustler.

Though he cuts a dashing figure in court, he does manage to appear shirtless in one scene, revealing those killer abs featured so prominently in glossy entertainment magazines. An ab flash or two is probably in his contract, but it's much easier to take him seriously with his clothes on.

Mick is a cocky huckster, but with an underlying moral compass ? though it mostly points in the direction of his favorite bar. His conscience comes into play when he takes the case of petulant Beverly Hills playboy Louis Roulet (Ryan Phillippe). Mick is accustomed to reprehensible types, but they usually don't have the deep designer pockets of Louis and his creepy socialite mom (Frances Fisher).

The Lincoln Lawyer
* * * (out of four)

Stars: Matthew McConaughey, Marisa Tomei, Ryan Phillippe, Michael Pena, William H. Macy, Josh Lucas, Frances Fisher, John Leguizamo
Director: Brad Furman
Distributor: Lionsgate
Rating: R for some violence, sexual content and language
Running time: 1 hour, 59 minutes
Opens Friday nationwide

Louis is charged with the brutal beating of a woman he met in a bar. Louis maintains his innocence, claiming she was a prostitute out to fleece him. At first, the case looks straightforward enough, but it grows more intricate and far more dangerous. Can Mick be outmaneuvered?

This screen adaptation of Michael Connelly's clever legal thriller is stylish, suspenseful and thoroughly entertaining. While adhering to the genre's conventions, it's shrewdly plotted and briskly paced, with hints of Raymond Chandler.

McConaughey is bolstered by a top-flight ensemble of co-stars. Marisa Tomei plays Mick's easygoing ex-wife, a prosecutor with whom sparks persist. William H. Macy is his sardonic investigator, Josh Lucas plays his prosecutorial nemesis, Bryan Cranston is the hard-nosed detective he bumps up against, and Michael Peña is a bitter convict whom Mick represented unsuccessfully.

Director Brad Furman's swirling camera and John Romano's sharp script ? with dialogue lifted directly from Connelly's novel ? combine to bring to vibrant life an L.A.-based story with more turns and curves than a Hollywood canyon.

Lindsay Lohan: I Didn't Drink

Looking to be sticking to the guidelines, Lindsay Lohan was out clubbing in New York City last night (March 16), but was not served any alcohol.

The ?Mean Girls? actress stopped by the swanky 1-Oak nightclub and the Simyone Lounge, but refrained from sipping or sneaking alcoholic beverages.

She even told TMZ, ?I did not drink?period. I do not drink?period.?

Currently, the L.A. County Probation Department is pushing for Lohan?s judge to send her to jail because she?s been sipping the health drink, Kombucha tea, which contains an alcohol content of 0.5% or less.

Disney?s Debby Ryan Lands Her Own Show

Debby Ryan has been an up and coming starlet at the Disney network for a few years. Starring as Bailey on The Suite Life on Deck alongside Big Daddy twins Dylan and Cole Sprouse, Debbie plays the perfect down-home American teen girl. Which is perfect for the new show Disney is rolling out with Ryan?s name on the headline. The show is called Jessie and will help replace the large losses of Miley Cyrus and Selena Gomez (who will be leaving Wizards of Waverly Place).

In Jessie, Ryan will play a teen from rural texas who left home and travels to New York City and becomes a nanny for a wealthy family. She will be the charge of four children which leaves room for plenty of laughs. The show was previewed yesterday at Disney?s Upfront event and is set to air this fall as a companion to the already successful Good Luck Charlie. She will continue filming on her current Suite Life movie project and as with any Disney princess, we should see a lot more projects from her in the future.

Garrison Keillor says he's looking to retire in 2013

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Garrison Keillor plans to keep spinning tales of Lake Wobegon's Norwegian bachelor farmers for at least a couple more years, but the host and creator of public radio's A Prairie Home Companion is dropping more hints that his retirement may be on the horizon.

  • Garrison Keillor, whose Prairie Home Companion has been a fixture on public radio since 1974, says he may retire in the spring of 2013.

    Garrison Keillor, whose Prairie Home Companion has been a fixture on public radio since 1974, says he may retire in the spring of 2013.

By Janet Hostetter, AP

Garrison Keillor, whose Prairie Home Companion has been a fixture on public radio since 1974, says he may retire in the spring of 2013.

In an interview posted Wednesday on the AARP Bulletin's website, the 68-year-old Keillor said he plans to retire in the spring of 2013. But Keillor said he first has to find his replacement.

"I'm pushing forward, and also I'm in denial. It's an interesting time of life," Keillor told the publication.

Keillor told the Associated Press in a follow-up e-mail Wednesday that he'll be 70 in the spring of 2013, "and that seems like a nice round number."

"The reason to retire is to try to avoid embarrassment; you ought to do it before people are dropping big hints. You want to be the first to come up with the idea. You don't want to wait until you trip and fall off the stage," Keillor told the AP.

For the first time this season, A Prairie Home Companion had a guest host on Jan. 15, when singer and fiddler Sara Watkins of the band Nickel Creek hosted the show from St. Paul's Fitzgerald Theater, with Keillor appearing as a featured guest. Keillor said at the time that he had never gotten to see the show himself and wanted "to stand in the back of the hall and watch for a few minutes."

Keillor has ruminated before about retirement. In 1987, he surprised his fans by quitting A Prairie Home Companion. But he returned to the airwaves two years later with a new touring show, American Radio Company of the Air, and a few years after that he returned to St. Paul and reclaimed A Prairie Home Companion as the name of his variety show.

In 2009, Keillor suffered a minor stroke but was back on air three weeks later. He created A Prairie Home Companion in 1974 and celebrated the show's 35th anniversary in 2009 with a show in central Minnesota's Stearns County, which inspired Keillor's mythical hometown of Lake Wobegon ? "where all the women are strong, all the men are good-looking and all the children are above average." The show is now broadcast on nearly 600 public radio stations and heard by more than 4 million people each week.
