Last year there was something called a “Snookie” that was infesting the tabloids, but that seems to have passed. The Kardashians will be pub-trivia fodder soon enough.
Should Kim Kardashian be stoned to death for mocking the institution of marriage and also for.......
The Kardashians are far more famous than Snookie and have outlasted her greatly. Mom Kardashian is one very smart woman, and she has worked the media expertly. I think the Kardashians will be around for a while longer.
And I read that as “pubic trivia fodder.” Heh. Probably appropriately.
Kim herself is also a shrewd business person and like Paris Hilton she’s managed to leverage what she started with (a sex tape) into a substantial fortune. I don’t know whether her sisters have staying power.
And her stepfather is Bruce Jenner, an Olympic champion and successful motivational speaker. Her father was one of the country’s most famous lawyers.
Whether or not the Kardashians last as celebrities, you can’t really compare them to Snookie.
I think she may have ‘jumped the shark’ with this one.
All famous-for-being-famous people have a shelf life & a point of action where they stop being interesting/entertaining enough for extreme media. I think kim (and pray the entire Kardashian clan) is there now.
Hoping they’re heading down the bell curve slope.
Oh please, bloody hell. I don’t really know her except from magazine and complaining here, but the bint is damned hot, physically. The whole precious posing about X or Y annoying celebrity being “incredibly physically unattractive” is one tiresome feature. I’m sure she’s obnoxious enough to turn off the attraction but this posturing is tiresome.
Wasn’t Kardashian OJ’s lawyer whose wife left him about the time of the Trial (boy they must have bonded over women).
I, too, find her unattractive. And to prove it I’ll have sex with her and not enjoy it one bit.
Stoned to death? Lol that’s a bit much… Just boycott her stuff.
No, seriously, I find plenty of bimbos with terrible personalities hot in a physical way, just not her. Her face turns me right off, which ruins the whole thing. There’s something just… wrong with the shape of her torso too. Something I can’t pinpoint, but it squicks me out.
Sharp knees?
I vote for death by bunga.
About five years earlier. He divorced his first wife in 1990. (She had cheated on him). He had been friends with OJ for a while, and while he hadn’t been a practicing attorney for some time at that point, he joined the OK defense team. That was in 1995.
I’ve never posted to a thread without reading every post first… until now. I just wanted to point out that I have NO idea what any Kardashians did to become famous (I’m assuming it’s a Paris Hilton “Famous for being famous” thing).
And I’m quite content, not knowing (and not even knowing what their first names are), so I’m going to close this thread before I find out… AFTER I finish patting myself on the back.
I think its actually “famous for knowing Paris Hilton”, at least from what I can glean from her wiki entry.
What is the reputation on the board of the Huffington Post? I rarely read it but I sometimes do. I am not politically knowledgeable enough to know when I’m being fed a crock of crap, so I can’t really judge the articles there. I (mostly) trust the SDMB to sort out the shit from the gold… where on the spectrum does HuffPo stand? Should I take them seriously or not? Or does it depend?
