Here’s something you see every other day — Kim Kardashian in a two-piece!

The sex symbol is sharing her tips for keeping fit in the June issue of Shape.

Inspired by unflattering paparazzi photos of her that emerged online last year, Kim dropped 10 pounds by increasing her workouts and changing her diet to omit sugar and coffee.

“I have cellulite, just like almost every other woman on the planet, and just because I feel secure with my body doesn’t’ mean I think cellulite is cute. It will always be an issue for me. So let’s just say it’s a work in progress,” Kim continued, explaining that she takes a “baby steps” approach to staying in shape.

“Yesterday I was traveling all day to get to this shoot and I only had time for sit-ups and crunches in my hotel room. But even if that’s all I do, I still get a sense of accomplishment, and that keeps me energized all day long.”

Law & Order may be getting a new lease on life — on TNT, Variety reports.

The police procedural — featuring Sam Waterson and S. Epatha Merkerson — ran for 20 seasons and spawned several spinoffs (Special Victims Unit, Criminal Intent, Trial By Jury) before the network axed the show last week. It is currently tied with Gunsmoke as television’s longest-running drama.

NBC Universal is in talks with TNT about working out a licensing deal that would open the door for new episodes of the long-running crime drama to run on the cable network — which is already home to reruns of Law & Order.

Last year, the networks reached a similar deal that paved the way for NBC’s gritty cult hit Southland to make the move to TNT after being booted from The Peacock.

“The patient is not dead,” L&O creator Wolf said Tuesday. “It is in a medically induced coma, and we are hoping for a cure.”

Wolf tells The New York Times that he is courting offers for the show from other networks, and there might even be a two-hour Law & Order TV movie in the works.

A nationwide appeal to save the show has drawn more than 17,000 people to the Facebook group “Save Law & Order!”

The New York City government is among the fans disappointed to see the series go: the show generates $79 million in business for the Big Apple each season.

Pete Wentz and Ashlee Simpson-Wentz’s toddler son, Bronx Mowgli, is recovering safely in the arms of his famous parents after escaping a minor car accident in Los Angeles on Tuesday.

The 18-month-old tot — who was in the care of his nanny at the time of the afternoon crash — is doing fine after the no injury collision in Cold Water Canyon, PEOPLE.com reports.

“It was a minor fender-bender, and everyone is fine,” says a rep for the couple.

Facebook has gotten someone else fired. Ashley Johnson, a 22-year-old North Carolina waitress, just learned what you should already know – your friends aren’t the only ones reading your Facebook page. After serving a couple for three hours last week — including one hour after she was supposed to be off the clock — and receiving a lousy $5 tip in return, Ashley let loose on the duo on her Facebook page…to disastrous consequences: she’s now out of a job…

She blasted the couple on Facebook, calling them cheap and mentioning the restaurant by name, according to The Charlotte Observer. A few days later, Brixx managers told Johnson that her job was being terminated because she violated a company policy banning workers from speaking ill of customers and casting the restaurant in a bad light on the social networking giant.

“We definitely care what people say about our customers,” said Jeff Van Dyke, one of the partners who run the restaurant.

“It was my own fault,” Ashley told the paper. “I did write the message. But I had no idea that something that, to me is very small, could result in my losing my job.”

Vanessa Williams has joined the cast of ABC’s Desperate Housewives!

Williams — who departed her role as Wilhelmina Slater when the network pulled the plug on Ugly Betty last month — is venturing over to The Alphabet’s other hit dramedy to stir up a ruckus on Wisteria Lane, TV Guide has learned.

Just a few weeks ago, talk show chatterbox Wendy Williams squealed that Desperate Housewives was a casting an African-American actress to fill the prominent role of an “intelligent restaurteur” on the show. Now we know it is Vanessa who will appear as a series regular on DH next season.

“I’m a big fan of Vanessa’s work and I’m so excited that she’ll be moving into the neighborhood next season to cause trouble in all the ladies’ lives,” says series creator Marc Cherry. “But don’t expect Vanessa to be at the center of next season’s big mystery. “I think our mystery is going to involve Paul Young [returning cast member Mark Moses].”

In related news, on Sunday night, actress Dana Delaney wrapped up her two season run on Desperate Housewives for the new ABC show Body of Proof.

How heavy is too heavy to serve hot wings at Hooters? Cassie Smith, a pretty 20-year-old who works at one of the chain’s Detroit restaurants, says she was put on “weight probation” by her bosses — although most people walking beside her on the street wouldn’t consider the blonde overweight.

Cassie, who is almost five foot, eight inches tall and weighs 132 pounds, claims her supervisors and two female Hooters reps from the company’s Atlanta headquarters told her she would need to slim down if she wanted to keep the waitressing job she’s had for the past two years.

“These women proceeded to explain to me that I had 30 days and they would give me a free gym membership, and if I didn’t improve within those 30 days I would be separated from the company. If I improved a little bit I would get 30 more days, and if I improved completely they would leave me alone,” Smith said.

I was horrified. I was completely heartbroken. I was humiliated.”

Cassie — who is a size X-Small, mind you — has hired an attorney to represent her in a possible weight discrimination lawsuit against Hooters.

“I don’t want other girls to have to go through this. I don’t want anyone to have to go through this. If I could’ve gone back and not worked there for two years to take back that feeling, I would do it.”

Hooters stands by it’s remarks about Cassie’s weight, arguing that federal law permits them to judge appearance as part of employee efficiency — as is similar practice with the Dallas Cowboys cheerleaders and the Radio City Rockettes.

Kendra Wilkinson is inching closer to becoming the web’s next overexxxposed reality star…whether she likes it or not.

FOX.com’s PopTarts Column has obtained an advance copy of the cover of the married mommy’s racy X-rated video — Kendra Exposed — which reportedly features the former “Girl Next Door” in a variety of compromising positions with multiple partners.

Vivid Entertainment is forging ahead with plans to release the saucy footage later this month, despite Kendra’s argument that she never signed a release permitting the tape to be distributed.

Hugh Hefner’s barely-legal, identical playmates Karissa and Kristina Shannon — AKA The Shannon Twins — have been tossed out of the Playboy Mansion, according to PopEater.com.

The men’s mag mogul initially asked Karissa and Kristina, 20, to move from the Playboy Mansion to the adjoining Playmate House after his relationship with Crystal Harris grew more serious, but they have now moved out of the estate completely due to the 84-year-old magazine founder’s unhappiness at them having boyfriends.

“After a couple of weeks, Hef was getting a little bit upset about the boyfriends, so he wanted us to move out. We need to update people about what’s going on. We were not allowed to have boys in the house. That was the absolute number one rule – no boys allowed. That was one of the main reasons we moved out,” Karissa tells PopEater.com. “Living there and being seen out with other guys, (Hugh) was tripping.”

She has since moved in with actor beau Sam Jones III.

Kristina, on the other hand, recently split from her Somewhere co-star Stephen Dorff after the challenges of a long-distance love affair became too great.

“There was serious attraction. We really seriously dated for a month. He said he was going to be gone for six months and I’m here in Los Angeles. We’re still friends. It wasn’t a serious hardcore thing. We weren’t fighting or anything.”

Emma Caulfield, former star of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, has filed for divorce from husband Cornelius Grobbelaar after three years of marriage, The Associated Press reports.

Grobbelaar and Caulfield — who wed on Aug. 23, 2006 — separated on May 7. Caulfield, 37, cites irreconcilable differences for the split in documents filed in Los Angeles Superior Court last Thursday.

Caulfield is best remembered for playing the demonic Anya on The CW’s cult series, which ran for seven seasons before being cancelled in 2003.

As outspoken as she is gorgeous, Megan Fox has some stern advice for frumpy folk thinking of emulating the look of old Hollywood glamour by going under the knife: “See a shrink!”

“I would encourage anyone to first speak with a therapist, to try and figure out where this want comes from, because a lot of times it’s not related to your teeth or your nose or your chin, the surgery is not going to alleviate that insecurity for you,” Megan tells Allure Magazine in its June issue — on newsstands May 25. “If, then, you feel, ‘This is something that I want to do,’ then do it. It’s amazing that we have the technology to do the stuff that we do.”

The 24-year-old Transformers stunner goes on to tell Allure that she has no qualms about strangling the uidentified photog who snapped a topless photo of her on the set of the upcoming flick Passion Play.

Megan On Nude Photo Leak: “If I knew who took this picture, I would personally cause them harm – physical harm. I’m not a fucking reality TV star that’s courting the paparazzi and wants my fucking picture taken all the time. I’m at my job and I’m trying to play a character and I’m trying to be serious, and this is the shit that’s happening to me. It makes me furious.”

Why Megan Hates To Cook: “I’ll starve to death before I’ll cook for myself. I think I could survive a week without eating. I’ll eat the same thing every day for two months and then never eat it again. I did that with Life cereal. I ate it every day for so long that the thought of it makes me upset,” she told the mag. “The only person I enjoy cooking for is my boyfriend’s son. I like arranging it on his little plate…. I like cooking for kids, for some reason.”

How Megan De-Stresses: “Just being able to be at home, and light my candles and my incense, and just be isolated and shut everyone out except the people that I’m close to and be in a family environment and have some semblance of a normal life.”

It’s back to labia for Lindsay Lohan!

The scandal-bitten starlet, 23, has reportedly been secretly bumping pelvis all over Los Angeles with lndrani, a 36-year-old photographer the actress met during a photoshoot last fall.

It was Indrani (also known as Julia I. Pal-Chaudhuri) herself who dropped dime on Lohan’s latest lezzie love affair in a scoop to The New York Post on Tuesday.

“We have been spending a lot of time together. I have never had a relationship with a woman before, but Lindsay is just somebody who I find fascinating, gorgeous and extremely smart, as well as super-hot,” the snapper squealed. “Lindsay gets a lot of bad press, but she’s a really strong, creative woman and is trying really hard to get her life in a good, positive place.”

Markus Klinko, Indrani’s business partner, has been dutifully keeping mum on the romance for months. He thinks Lindsay — an accused pill-popper on her last leg professionally — is the ideal mate for his friend.

“Lindsay and Indrani have been seeing each other since we shot her last fall. I’ve seen them on dates, I have seen them making out . . . Indrani is a good influence on Lindsay,” Klinko admits. “She is the opposite of a party girl — a Princeton graduate, she’s into art and is a philanthropist — not what you’d expect the typical girl for Lindsay to go out with. When they are together, they talk about art and the deeper meaning in life.”

Lohan previously dated famed lesbian spinner DJ Samantha Ronson for two years before the two split last year.

There’s nothing quite like starting the day off with a good laugh. For those of you who woke up on the wrong side of the bed this morning, this item should be good for a few chuckles….

Washington couple Michaele and Tareq Salahi — the infamous White House Party Crashers who were summoned to testify before a Congressional committee after bogarting their way into The Obamas’ State Dinner last November — say they’ve been the victims of death threats and other malacious acts since the fiasco made national headlines last winter and they’re still waiting for an apology from The Obama Administration.

“It would be nice if somebody apologized to us,” Tareq Salahi, along with his wife Michaele, told RadarOnline.com in a new interview. “I would certainly not treat anyone this way that comes to my house, even if there was a question about an invitation, or there was some miscommunication… I would still welcome anyone and be gracious.”

You broke into the President’s house and you think you’re owed an apology? These people should be thanking Jesus or Buddha — or whoever they pray to — that they aren’t trading pussy for Hot Pockets in the pokey right now. Delusional much?

The Salahis will appear on Bravo’s upcoming reality soap The Real Housewives of DC, premiering next year.

Mariah Carey’s been setting the stage on fire with her booming vocals and power ballads for more than 20 years, but on Monday the Grammy-winning singer was forced to put out an actual fire. Mariah took to her Twitter account to tell fans about an electrical blaze that broke out under her feet as she was waiting to take the stage at a concert in Egypt.

“In Egypt getting ready to go on stage and suddenly there was a surge of power and an electrical fire started under my feet!” she Tweeted. “Naturally, my emergency instincts kicked in and I put out the flames w/a towel.”

This is the second time in a year that Mariah has had a close encounter with flames. In 2009, the crooner was celebrating Valentine’s Day with hubby Nick Cannon when a fire broke out in the couple’s master bedroom.

“He (Nick) had given me an enormous amount of roses, so I picked up the vase and poured out the roses, and went back and forth from the bathroom putting out the flames with water… I’m good in a crisis,” she said at the time.

Lohan has also been issued a stern warning about completing the alcohol education classes she was ordered to attend as part of a plea agreement in 2007 arrest for DUI.
