When you think of the Kardashian sisters, there Armenian heritage might not be the first thing that comes to mind. But with the introduction of their newest project, a jewelry line based on the cultures surrounding their country of origin, it becomes clear how important this heritage is to the trio. Khloe, Kim and Kourtney have teamed up with Virgins Saints & Angels for an accessories line coming out in the spring of 2010. This Armenian-inspired line will include earrings, rings and necklaces with a price range of $50-$600. Virgins Saints & Angels are known for their common use of classic gods, goddesses, gypsies, angels, Hamsas, hearts and their signature design the "San Benito." The jewelry also comes in sterling silver or 18kt gold giving it a trendy, but timeless look.

The Kardashian girls are not new to the idea of branding a line and using their own personal style to appeal to a consumer America. Their store D-A-S-H, a boutique chain, is doing well, and was even featured before as “boutique of the week” on miami.com. On top of that, Kim has ambition to mix her own perfume like many of her celebrity acquaintances. Kim has even hired a local designer to design the perfect bottle for her perfume, to give it the exact Kim Kardashian look she is going for (if you'll recall, her scent — we mean, perfume — caused quite a stir on "Keeping Up With The Kardashians" when Khloe and Kourtney disapproved of the name).

Shanna Moakler (pictured, left) made a bit of an ass of herself today during her visit to the "The Wendy Williams Show" when she called Khloe Kardashian (pictured, right) a "donkey." The comment prompted a Twitter battle (hey, at least this time it wasn't with ex-hubby Travis Barker again!) as Mrs. Lamar Odom tweeted, "I have no idea who this girl is but I guess she is talking about me. Talk on honey... I can care less LOL" and "Cheetah Girls" starlet Adrienne Bailon fueled the fire, posting to her friend, "Want me to fight her for you?!?!?! " But, Shanna quickly apologized after the incident, writing, "@KhloeKardashian, you are right. We don't know each other personally and I apologize for my comment this morning..." Why do we get the impression this isn't quite over yet? Oh, right, because a few hours later, Shanna tweeted this, "I've never liked Paris,lyndsey or kim, for VALID reasons, nor hid the fact. I apologized to Khloe Get over it. This isn't news." Uh, too late!
Rest assured it wasn't all drama in Hollywood this afternoon. As a matter of fact, most of our favorite stars were too busy celebrating their People's Choice Award nominations to care about much else. "Vampire Diaries" hottie Ian Somerhalder tweeted to fans, "Uhh, anyone who voted for VD for a People's choice award we thank very very much! Cheers" while Emily Osment posted, "Just nominated for a People’s Choice Award for 'Breakout Movie Actress!' Vote now here - http://ow.ly/B6cg." The People's Choice Awards will air January 2, 2010, so be sure to get the movement started for your favorites now.

Every day a multitude of stars wander through the halls of MTV News to talk about their latest projects and goof around with staff members. But sometimes we catch stars elsewhere, and that's why we put together Spotted!, a daily compendium of stars in the wild.
The cast of "Glee" has a lot to be gleeful about lately (lame pun totally intended). Besides starring on a hit show, the talented stars recently performed at the World Series and captured the cover of Entertainment Weekly . So it's no wonder they took a little break from filming to soak in some Broadway time. Cast members, including Kevin McHale, Amber Riley, Jane Lynch, Chris Colfer and Dianna Agron were Spotted! backstage at the Norah Ephron play "Love, Loss and What I Wore," at Westside Theater. We're guessing they were there to support Jane, who recently joined the production. Jane fans need not fret though, her involvement with "Love, Loss and What I Wore," which has a limited 12-week run, shouldn't affect her role on "Glee."

Khloe Kardashian's super fast nuptials to Lakers baller Lamar Odom continue to remain in the hub of celebrity gossip five days after they walked down the aisle. The newlyweds hit the town last night (uh, shouldn't they be embarking on a honeymoon sometime soon?) together and their public appearance allowed photographers to take snapshots of Khloe's new accessories (ahem, her engagement ring and wedding band). After momentarily being blinded by the sparkliness of those diamonds (it's kind of like looking at the sun — you should never look directly at a celeb's bling), we regained our eyesight and decided to give Lamar a thumbs up on these tokens of his affection.

While her step-brother Brody Jenner may not have been present for her nuptials to Lamar Odom, Khloe Kardashian still had a (reality) star studded wedding. Guest (and "Keeping up with the Kardashians" exec producer) Ryan Seacrest reported via Twitter, "Khloe looked amazing at wedding...kourt so prego and cute..kim stunning but was stag!! Hmmm," while her sister's posted more personal tweets. Kourntey wrote, "So happy for my beautiful sister!" and Kim stated, "Tonight was one of the best nights of my life! Khloe & Lamar's wedding was a night to remember! I love u both so much!"
Of course, Khloe's big day was hardly the only thing being celebrated on Sunday. Last night marked the beginning of Yom Kippur and celebs tweeted about the Jewish holiday. Actress Soleil Moon Frye posted, "My 4 year old keeps calling Yom Kippur "uncle poor" Oh how kids come up with the wonderful things they say," while "The Real Housewives of New York" star Bethenny Frankel tweeted, "happy holidays. ATONE!!!TONIGHT YOU WILL FEAST.who is fasting?who is hungry?rest and reflect no matter what religion we are."

In true Kardashian style, reality star Khloe Kardashian tied the knot this Sunday in L.A. with her LA Lakers boyfriend Lamar Odom. The pair had been dating for about a month before they decided to commit to a lifetime together. Some would say that’s a little rushed, but hey as long as they’re happy right?
Khloe's maids of honor included her sisters Kim and Kourtney, while their younger sisters, Kendall and Kylie Jenner, were bridesmaids. Their brother, Rob, was one of Odom's groomsmen. It seems the only familiar face missing from the family photo ops was Brody Jenner.

It's been quite a week for those of us who are fans of sex — "Sex and the City" that is. On Tuesday, we got our first sips of the fashionable cocktail when we caught Carrie Bradshaw (Sarah Jessica Parker) traipsing around the city in a white Halston dress and sparkly Louboutins. Then, the next day, the Manhattanite was decked out in an array of colors as she took a ride with her hubby (or at least we still hope he is!) Mr. Big (Chris Noth). Today, we bring you one of Carrie's besties, the eternal sex goddess Samantha Jones (Kim Cattrall) heading to set with costume designing genius Pat Field in tow. Even with these mere glimpses of the ladies and their wardrobes, we're already waiting in anticipation to see what other kinds of clothing magic Pat pulls off in the "SATC: The Movie" sequel.
