Reformed womanizer Russell Brand says that he hasn’t been making whoopee as much as he used to. Before marrying Katy Perry, Brand would have sex over twenty times a week, but that he’s toned things down and transferred all of that, er, energy into gardening. “Now I’m a bloody good gardener,” he brags. I sure wouldn’t mind taking a peek at his petunias. [INeedMyFix]
Rebecca Black will not only earn approximately $1 million for sales of her single “Friday” on iTunes and another $300,000 for YouTube video views [CelebDirtyLaundry], she’s also recieved high praise from Lady Gaga. “I say Rebecca Black is a genius and that anybody telling her she’s cheesy is full of shit,” said the uber pop star about the viral video sensation that many critics dubbed the “worst singer in the world.” [Starcasm] Well, “genius” might be a stretch, but to Black’s credit, she’s donating all profits to Japan and her school. That’s beyond admirable, since Black’s single will probably end up in the trivia bin in a year’s time. She should like, write a song about it or something.
Kim Kardashian is dreaming of better things: the reality star heiress has recently revealed that she’s been itching to become either a crime scene investigator or a makeup artist that works on crime scenes.

I’m sure you’d be super fun to work with, and not even sort of a diva. [AnythingHollywood]
As Kim Kardashian sets some goals for herself, another tabloid trainwreck is partying up a storm.

All eyewitness accounts insist that the celebrity trainwreck was definitely “not drinking” or stealing $5k necklaces, so she’s obviously a whole new person. [AmyGrindhouse]

Prepare to be assaulted by the Dukan Diet. The French fad diet, a favorite of Gisele Bundchen, Jennifer Lopez, and Kate Middleton, is coming to America on the back of an elephantine publicity budget. The French version has sold 3.5 million copies and been translated into 14 languages, and the American edition was acquired with a $1.3 million advance. The Dukan system is basically a tweak on the Atkins Diet, with a bunch of oat bran mixed in. [RightCelebrity]
