Important update on The Date of the Century: After their movie date to The Hunger Games last night—but before the sleepover that led to a Pizza Goat-approved lunch date and shopping trip—Kim Kardashian and Kanye West stayed "as close and intimate as they could" at Sleep No More, that interactive theater thing with the naked people and sex masks.

TMZ is doing minute-by-minute coverage of Kim Kardashian's 24-hour date with Kanye West. With news this big, I do feel it is my obligation as a journalist to help disseminate the fact that Kim and Kanye just finished eating lunch at Serafina, a restaurant the Amazing Pizza Goat once enjoyed. Then they got into a chauffeured car and went to FAO Schwartz.

Amid rumors that Kim Kardashian is dating Kanye West, TMZ and The Daily Mail have published photos of Kim leaving Kanye's apartment bulding this morning, in the same outfit she wore to the movies with him last night. This is the biggest breaking news since whatever guy Kim Kardashian slept with before Kanye West.

The gossip mercenaries at TMZ are reporting that Kim Kardashian and Kanye West are "dating for real," and went on a movie date to see The Hunger Games last night. This fascinating development raises the following questions:

Last night it seemed that Kim Kardashian had a fairly mild reaction to being "flour-bombed" on the red carpet. After a woman posing as a journalist dumped an entire bag of flour on Kim, the reality star brushed it off, literally and figuratively.

Raven-haired sock puppet Kim Kardashian has responded to Jon Hamm after he called her "a fucking idiot." Wielding her mighty twitter trident, she posted the following response:

For those of you who needed another reason to crush on Jon Hamm, the Mad Men star joined the ranks of legitimate TV actors ragging on reality TV personalities. His targets: Kim Kardashian and Paris Hilton.

Here's a brief refresher on Ray J: he's Brandy's brother, he made a sex tape with Kim Kardashian, and he was romantically linked to the late Whitney Houston. He's also an author, apparently, with the publication of his new book, Death of the Cheating Man: What Every Woman Must Know About Men Who Stray.

Tickets went on sale online today for the eight concerts that seminal electronic band Kraftwerk is playing at the Museum of Modern Art in April (one for each album). As is often the case in these situations, a lot of people didn't get tickets. (Your blogger included.) The internet's Jake Fogelnest noticed, and faked a retweet from Kim Kardashian claiming that she'd gotten tickets. And who'd have thought? People bought it.

According to one of Kim Kardashian's friends, Kim's publicist has arranged for her to go on a date with Knicks demigod, Jeremy Lin. And while it's probable that there's no truth in this, it's kind of fun to imagine. Think of the Kimsane headlines. The Keeping Up With the KardashiLins reality show spin-offs. So much would stem from this coupling, it's almost too much to take Lin.

Photographed exiting a beauty salon in Santa Monica, Kim Kardashian inadvertently revealed that she not only receives Google Alert emails whenever "Kim Kardashian" appears on the internet, but she actually spends her free time reading her personalized "Kim Kardashian" news alerts. This is remarkable for three reasons:

Kim Kardashian's lawsuit against Old Navy just got juicy: To combat Kim's claim that the company damaged her "reputation" by airing an ad featuring Kardashian lookalike Melissa Molinaro, the clothier has launched an investigation of Kim's crappy reputation.

Lies: They travel halfway round the world before the truth gets its boots on. If you don't tell them, you never have to remember anything. Ask me no questions and I won't tell you any. The year that now comes to an end was, like all years, riddled with them. Grand lies and small ones, grave ones and frivolous ones, true ones and false ones—check that. They were all false. Here is a list of some of them that really caught my attention.

One of my favorite annual traditions is when Village Voice gossip legend Michael Musto dresses up like the year's newsmakers for the paper's year in review issue. This year he is giving us some Kim Kardashian realness!

Hark! Ye harbingers of consumer doom, the Kardashians, have released their 2011 Christmas card. Whereas last year's yuletide feat of airbrushed uncanny put viewers in a trance state, this year's card will make you go, "A-woooo-gah!" while pumping 3-D glasses back and forth in the airspace in front of your face. (Like so.) This year's KardashiKard comes three dimensions, you see. [Image via Kourtney Kardashian]

Sunday night's episode of Kourtney & Kim Take New York featured a discussion between Kim Kardashian and her neanderthal then-husband Kris Humphries about having kids, which they ultimately decide to do. Right away!

What the world has been missing lately is a big, all-stars-on-deck charity single to benefit a needy cause (casual racism optional). So we're really glad that Kanye West, Kim Kardashian, Diddy, Chris Brown, Floyd Mayweather (Floyd Mayweather?) and others have joined together to release the "Megaupload Mega Song," to benefit the, uh, charitable cause of, well, a file-sharing site.

Chanel designer and alien robot of fabulousness Karl Lagerfeld is launching two new retail fashion lines, called "Karl" and "Karl Lagerfeld." To promote them, he is co-opting the letter 'K.' Women's Wear Daily reports,

An enterprising fella named Bill Lucey took it upon himself to ask a bunch of prominent news organizations what their most highly-trafficked news story of the year was, on their websites. The results may surprise you! But we doubt it. Highlights:

We watched Kim Kardashian's 72-day marriage go to hell in a handbasket during the premiere episode of Kourtney & Kim Take New York. On Sunday night, it was Kim's relationship with one sister that took a beating, instead, when she went kompletely krazy on Khloe for accidentally waking her up an hour earlier than she wanted.
