Is Kim Kardashian dating Kanye West? The two were seen out and about Thursday, when they went to go see The Hunger Games together. And in his new new song, "Theraflu," Kanye professes his love for Kim ("I admit I fell in love with Kim at the same time she feel in love with him"). The Today show's Ann Curry tried to get Kim to talk about her possible new boyfriend. But Kim brushed off relationship questions and said, "Kanye and I have been friends for years . . . You never know what the future holds." Regarding Kris Humphries, Kim said she has "closed that chapter" and that she's "really ready to move on." Kim also told Curry she no longer looks online or read magazines anymore. Who knew she read before?

Today co-worker
Matt Lauer announced he
signed a long-term contract to stay on the #1 rated morning show. Lauer, who has been on
Today since 1994, could become the longest-serving host of the 60-year-old show. “Truth be told, I was developing an idea for a new show, where viewers could tune in every morning and see someone they know lose a little more of his hair every single day right in front of their eyes,” Lauer said on Friday. “I thought, ‘I don’t have to do that, I could just stay here and do that! ... This is my family. I love this job. I love working with you guys and all the people behind the scenes. I’m excited. Let’s keep going.” Two unnamed sources claim Lauer is being paid $25M yearly (nearly double his current salary) with bonuses that can push his paycheck closer to $30M. And he's now only working 4 days a week. Sweet gig.

Despite just getting off probation, it seems Lindsay Lohan is already back to her old partying ways. Lilo was seen exiting Hollywood's Pour Vous nightclub just before 2 a.m. Thursday morning. More proof that that the old Lindsay is back — she wore a skirt so short she showed off her entire thigh as she hopped into her car. Lindsay wasn't the only celeb at the club that night. Twilight heartthrob Robert Pattinson was also clubbing but minus rumored lady friend Kristen Stewart.
