The Kardashian konflict kontinues.

Ellen Kardashian, relict of the late legal eagle Robert Kardashian Sr., defends herself to In Touch mag against nasty comments about her from Robert's daughters Kim and Khloé. Seems the gals were a little browned off that Ellen, 72, vouched for a diary in which Robert says ex-wife Kris Jenner abused her offspring. In Touch quotes Khloé as calling Ellen "a piece of trash" and says she married him on his deathbed. That's "completely false and horrible," Ellen says. There are more charges and countercharges, but you get the idea.

Yodeling with Tina

From the land of William Tell comes word that American treasure Tina Turner, 73, appears bound for Switzerland's hills, vales - and cuckoo clocks. The Nutbush, Tenn.-born warbler has lived in Kuesnacht, a Zurich suburb, since the mid-1990s.

A Swiss newspaper says the local council has decided it would be a good idea to grant her Swiss citizenship. The decision still requires formal approval.

"I cannot imagine a better place to live," Turner tells German newspaper Blick.

Palin, Fox part ways

Former vice presidential candidate-turned-Fox News wag Sarah Palin is cutting herself free of Fox to go on to bigger things, a source tells RealClearPolitics.com. Fox, which was paying her $1 mil a year wanted to renew her contract, but she declined.

"She remains focused on broadening her message of commonsense conservatism . . . and will be expanding her voice in the national discussion," the source says.
