18th April 2012 Celebrity Trending - Madonna, Dick Clack, Kim Kardashian

Madonna’s 15-year-old daughter, Lourdes Leon, has picked up a bad habit, as the teen was recently spotted smoking a cigarette.

The Material Girl herself isn’t very happy about it.

“[I] wasn’t very happy,” she told Rock Center‘s Harry Smith in an interview clip that aired on the TODAY show this morning. “Honestly, I don’t think I’m as tough as I should be. I think I need to be maybe tougher.

“It’s hard – every day is a negotiation,” she added. “But cigarette smoking I’m not very fond of – for anyone.”

While most see Madonna as a pop diva, the “Vogue” singer, 53, says her four children usually get to see a very different side of her.

LOS ANGELES — Dick Clark, the ever-youthful television host and tireless entrepreneur who helped bring rock 'n' roll into the mainstream on "American Bandstand," and later produced and hosted a vast range of programming from game shows to the New Year's Eve countdown from Times Square, has died. He was 82.
Clark had continued performing even after he suffered a stroke in 2004 that affected his ability to speak and walk.

Ryan Seacrest, who took over main hosting duties on the countdown show from Clark, said in a statement Wednesday that he was "deeply saddened."

Whether or not Kim Kardashian is serious about her pseudo-announcement that she wants to run for mayor of Glendale, Calif., a town of some 191,000 in the shadow of Tinseltown, her words have set off a local media tizzy.
The first point of discussion – aside from the mere fact that it's Kim Kardashian – is the equally important fact that no one can run for mayor of Glendale, not even Ms. Kardashian. Glendale's mayor is one of the five members of its city council, appointed to a single-year term on a rotating basis.

Second is the mode of her declaration: It came in a YouTube video of an unaired outtake from her sister's "Khloe and Lamar" reality show, in which the Armenian-American actress says she is "for real" about her intentions to run "in, like, five years," because Glendale "is, like, Armenian town.”
