Celebrity Apprentice 2011!

Who is Marlee Matlin and why is she famous?

[Apr. 5]

The youngest ever winner of an Oscar and the only deaf person ever to win an Oscar for her role in Children of a Lesser God, green celebrity Marlee Matlin never let her hearing loss get her down. Marlee Matlin regularly contributes to causes that assist those with hearing impairments, and she wrote a memoir, I’ll Scream Later, that details her experiences with sexual and domestic abuse and the drug abuse that followed. Matlin will be competing to support The Starkey Hearing Foundation.

IMDb notes that Marlee also played in Walker (1987), set in Nicaragua, where she went off-set to visit the hearing impaired children in the area. Her next big role was as an assistant distract attorney in the television series, Reasonable Doubts (1991). Marlee Matlin has an interest in police and courtroom drama series and married police officer Kevin Grandalski, to whom she has been married since 1993.

Marlee Matlin said — signed, rather, through her interpreter — in her Celebrity Apprentice interview with NBC, she has been working with The Starkey Hearing Foundation for seven years, work of which she’s very proud. The green celebrity followed up on her visit with children in Nicaragua with hearing-impaired children from other nations she has visited while filming and abroad.

“The Earth does not belong to us; we belong to the Earth,” she has said.

Khloe Kardashian looking a bit like DWTS fat actress Kirstie Alley in Cosmo?

[Apr. 2]

Khloe Kardashian, of Keeping Up with the Kardashians reality television fame, co-created by Ryan Seacrest, alongside sisters Kim Kardashian and Kourtney Kardashian, is gracing her first Cosmopolitan magazine cover. Cosmopolitan magazine has released a Middle East issue with Khloe Kardashian on the cover. In the issue, Khloe talks about her body image as a fat actress with love handles, compared to her sisters Kim and Kourtney.

The Huffington Post talks about her interview with Cosmo:

“Dealing with the Kardashian body image,” she answers when asked what is the toughest part of being a Kardashian. “Kim and Kourtney have said to me, ‘If we were put under the same negative attention that you are, we couldn’t handle it.’

But none of the Kardashian sisters is immune to body image issues. Kim says she’s got cellulite problems, and Khloe has said she’d rather trade the love handles for the cellulite. It may be because Khloe in the past has had to quell rumors that she was pregnant. She put those to rest back in June, but she says her weight is still a struggle for her.

“I’m the ugly sister,” Khloe said back in February. “I’m the fat one. I’m the transvestite. I have had those mean things said about me at least twice a day for the last five years. It’s horrible, you know? But I can brush that stuff off.”

And the appearance for Cosmo is telling. Khloe Kardashian still has a nice figure, and she says that people are always telling her and sisters Kim and Kourtney that they have nice booties. Khloe says she is not upset by her curves.
