And why are they famous? I guess mother Kardashian married Bruce Jenner, and one of the girls married Lamar Odom but so what? I am a middle aged man who just doesn't understand this type of stuff. News, sports, that sort of stuff I understand and like, but "reality" shows like the Kardashians and Snooki (or something like that) who was mentioned in another thread? Well, maybe I'm just hopelessly out of it.

Paris Hilton and the Kardashian Klan are not among them. Only silly fools pay attention to that crap.

(82,383 posts)People have a fascination for the lives of rich people. Interesting how little resentful it makes them. Guess they think they'll be that way too one day and want to find out how it's going to be.

I wonder if Bruce Jenner knew what he was getting into.

(5,354 posts)and since it takes very little to get noticed, do-nothing nobodies like the Kardashians (but with nice juggs) will fill the vacuum until something new comes along.

(95,337 posts)Kim was actually a quasi friend of Paris Hilton so when everyone was going crazy over Paris Hilton, from time-to-time you'd see Paris and Kim out partying somewhere.
During Paris waning years, there was a sex tape released of Kim Kardashian with some wannabe R&B singer. The tape was released by the same group that released sex tapes of Pam Anderson and Paris Hilton. Although it was never named who leaked the sex tapes it wouldn't be a shock if it was Kim and her mother than leaked the tape since it seems sex tapes are a good way to help promote celebutantes who want to be famous.
BTW Robert Kardashian was famous for being one of OJ Simpson's lawyers. I also believe that one of Bruce Jenner's sons was on one of those Laguana Beach type reality shows they had on MTV.

I'm more interested in the lives of the fish and frogs out in my pond, to be honest...
