… and we don’t mean in a good way.  But, lucky for KK, that is exactly the point.  Kim recently went undercover to chat with some fans, and when we say ‘under-cover’, we mean under the cover of a custom mask of sorts.  Thanks to 3+ hours of prosthetic application, this Kardashian sis went completely unnoticed with her wannabe fans for the new E! show called ‘Secret Celebrity’.

It must have been an official J.O.B. because there’s no way this Dash Doll would get uglified for free!  Plus, it’s definitely helping with her own promotion and contest for a fan to win a KK Glam Squad makeover!  According to the celebutante’s webpage, she’s partnered up with Sony Ericsson (in a cross-promotion of its Equinox phone) for the “Get Your Glam On” sweepstakes.  One lucky gal will win a trip to LA for a Kardashian rendez-vous, plus day and night looks for the winner – apparently to correspond with the new cell phone’s photo-taking capabilities.  Go to KimKardashian.com for all of the deets!

Titled “A Very Special Christmas”, this new holiday album has a ton of young stars singing classic Yule songs.  And in a very spirited fashion, the disc sales from this 7th volume are set to benefit the Special Olympics.  Will you be a part of the giving back by purchasing this album?

In a recent radio interview, Miley Cyrus revealed that she’s currently digging Gossip Girl‘s Penn Badgley — even though she didn’t even know who he was until she saw him in The Stepfather:

I just saw him in The Stepfather and I’m pretty obsessed with him. I actually didn’t know who he was and I went to see the movie as a joke, because the previews looked scary but I wasn’t sure if it was scary. It was actually a good movie.

Badgley’s having a popular week — the episode of Gossip Girl that just aired featured him, guest star Hilary Duff, and another girl…all “together.”

So do Miley and Hilary Duff have good taste?

Taylor Lautner participated in a photo shoot for Men’s Health magazine that did not, surprisingly, involve Taylor taking his shirt off.  Probably to his own relief, as he’s said in recent interviews that he was getting pretty tired of that.  Still, don’t worry, the pictures do not disappoint:

Some interesting gossip on the Breaking Dawn front…no, they haven’t chosen a director yet, but Robert Pattinson came right out and mentioned his top choice in an interview with MTV:

I think Gus Van Sant would be great to do it. He shoots everything in Portland. Oh, I probably shouldn’t say that — I’ve heard we’re going to shoot it in Portland.  It’s all about teenage love and obsessions, [so] I think Gus Van Sant would be great.  He’s good at making things look beautiful.

Gus Van Sant is the director of Good Will Hunting.  He’s done plenty of movies with teenagers too, everything from Finding Forrester to really tiny films like Elephant, about a school shooting, and Paranoid Park, about a teen skateboarder.  Rob’s right, he’s a great director — but would he do it?  And would they even offer it to him?  He’s never done anything supernatural before.
