Kim Kardashian Shows Off Bare Butt And Breaks The Internet

View image on Twitter

Kim Kardashian shows off her bare butt on the new issue of PAPER magazine. With the appropriately titled, "Break The Internet" issue, this will definitely have everyone talking. Does this reach Nicki Minaj "Anaconda" status?
In a statement on their website, PAPER magazine says, "For our winter issue, we gave ourselves one assignment: Break The Internet. There is no other person that we can think of who is up to the task than one Kim Kardashian West. A pop culture fascination able to generate headlines just by leaving her house, Kim is what makes the web tick."
Well, they got that right.
There is an alternate cover of Kim popping a bottle of champagne into a glass...that's resting on her ass

If you know nothing else about Kim Kardashian, you know that she is very, very famous. Some would say that's all you need to know. At press time, she has 25 million Twitter followers, about a million less than Oprah Winfrey and nearly 5 million more than CNN Breaking News. Her Instagram account, where she is a prolific purveyor of selfies, is the site's third most popular. You can't walk through a supermarket without glimpsing her on a multitude of tabloids whose headlines holler about her relationships, her parenting style and the vicissitudes of her ample curves. But she has also graced the covers of highbrow fashion bibles like W and Vogue; with her now-husband, Kanye West, she appeared on the latter above the hashtag #worldsmosttalkedaboutcouple, creating a furor that made it perhaps the #worldsmostcontroversialcover.

Her millions-strong popularity and inescapable media presence have made her grist for think pieces galore. She is variously seen as a feminist-entrepreneur-pop-culture-icon or a late-stage symptom of our society's myriad ills: narcissism, opportunism, unbridled ambition, unchecked capitalism. But behind all the hoopla, there is an actual woman -- a physical body where the forces of fame and wealth converge. Who isn't at least a tad curious about the flesh that carries the myth? 

Unlike most people, she looks exactly the same in person as she does in photographs or on television, with one exception: she is smaller than she appears in images, with tiny, almost doll-like ears and feet and hands. Everything else about her seems amplified, tumescent. Her black hair is thicker than any you have ever seen, her lips fuller, her giant Bambi-eyes larger, their whites whiter, and the lashes that frame them longer. If some of this is the result of artificial enhancement -- does anyone else have eyelashes that resemble miniature feather dusters? -- none of it seems obviously ersatz. But that's not to say it looks real, either. She is like a beautiful anime character come to life.

kkmiddle(rgb)watermark.jpgAs soon as she arrives at the hostess podium of the Polo Lounge in Beverly Hills, where we meet for our interview, a young fan who appears to be in her late teens or early twenties accosts her. The fan has been running to catch (keep up with?) Kardashian; she brings with her a breeze. "Will you take a selfie with me, Kim?" she pants. (This is what fans asks the High Priestess of Instagram -- autographs are so last century.) She obliges, leaning in for the picture and striding away almost before I can blink. "She's gonna post it," Kardashian says wryly. "I bet it's posted right now." Later, she will tell me that she's "not really a filter person," and that she doesn't generally use them when she publishes her many selfies. As she talks, I notice that her skin, which is the golden color of whiskey, is free of wrinkles, crow's feet, laugh lines, blemishes, freckles, moles, under-eye circles, scars, errant eyebrow hairs or human flaws of any kind. It's like she comes with a built-in filter of her own. 

With its enveloping green leather booths and twinkling white garden lights, the Polo Lounge is a setting that lends itself to intimacy. Kardashian, who is wearing a monochromatic champagne-colored ensemble (Margiela bodysuit, Chloé silk pants, Lanvin silk coat), gives off a cozy vibe herself. She leans forward while she talks, resting her cheek in the palm of her hand as though she's chatting with her closest girlfriend. She tells me that the Kardashian clan is currently a week into filming season 10 of Keeping Up With the Kardashians, which she has called "the best family movie ever," never mind the rampant speculation, in early 2013, that season 9 would be her last. I'm surprised to hear that they still enjoy the process, since your typical American family would no longer be on speaking terms. "We're kind of obsessed with each other," she explains. 

Today, a day off, she spent at a pumpkin patch with West, whom she repeatedly calls Kanye -- she clearly enjoys saying his name -- and their 16-month old daughter, North. They arrived at the farm unbothered by photographers, a rarity in the circus that is her life ("literally every single day there's about ten cars of paparazzi literally waiting outside our homes"). It wasn't long, however, before the paparazzi had surrounded them. "I couldn't really pick out our pumpkins, and [North] couldn't really enjoy it," she says. After a moment, perhaps concerned that she has come perilously close to complaining about her fame, she adds matter-of-factly: "You just have to not care. You just have to say, 'This is our life, and it is what it is.'" Her delivery is Zen-like, almost affectless, as it is on the show. "All my friends tell me the world could be coming to an end, and I'm always so calm," she says, opening a packet of Equal. She empties its contents into a glass of passion fruit iced tea, then fastidiously bites granules of sweetener off her manicured nails.

kkcover2(rgb)watermark.jpgThe rap on Kim Kardashian is that she has done nothing to merit her fame. But the longer I steep myself in the ambience of her pleasantly languid manner and hologram-perfect looks, the more facile this charge begins to seem. Of course, she has cannily leveraged that fame to build, with her sisters, a beauty-industrial complex, which includes a clothing line, a makeup line, a line of tanning products and seven perfumes. (A collection of hair care implements and styling products will debut in the spring.) Her mobile app, Kim Kardashian: Hollywood, in which players climb their way to A-List status under Kardashian's tutelage, has earned over $43 million since its debut in June.

Yet her perceived lack of accomplishment is also, perhaps, an accomplishment in itself. Kardashian seems to know instinctively that, as Andy Warhol once observed, "When you just see somebody on the street, they can really have an aura. But then when they open their mouth, there goes the aura." Take the stream of small faux-confidences that she offers during the interview. They reveal very little yet foster a sense of closeness. She tells me that she is "obsessed with apps" but, when I ask her to name one, she replies, "I like all different apps." Of her 72-day marriage to Kris Humphries, one of her rare missteps that actually left a footprint, she says: "It's just one of those life lessons that you have to learn, and it's OK." Her behavior suggests that the key to total ubiquity is giving up all of one's verbal edges and sharp angles (while occasionally tossing out a memorable visual flare: a sex tape, say, or a nude photo shoot). 

Social media has created a new kind of fame, and Kardashian is its paragon. It is a fame whose hallmark is agreeable omnipresence, which resembles a kind of evenly spread absence, soothing, tranquil and unobjectionable. There's an argument to be made that Kardashian has been recorded and viewed more often than any other personage in history, and while she has certainly had her awkward moments (posting a vampire facial on Instagram, announcing that she wanted to buy a stroller that complemented her unborn baby's skin color), she has also never made a truly ruinous gaffe, been caught in a Britney Spears-style public meltdown or sallied forth looking less than photogenic. As she puts it, "There's nothing we can do that's not documented, so why not look your best, and amazing?" 

To mere mortals who occasionally visit the grocery store in yoga pants, her willpower and self-discipline are a marvel. Imagine being filmed and photographed constantly, yet never saying anything seriously controversial or appearing unkempt. The effort involved seems torturous, impossible. And yet, though her life requires work of a sort -- roughly two hours of hair and makeup each day, regular meetings for her assorted businesses, wardrobe fittings, photo shoots, 5:00 a.m. workouts -- you don't get the sense that she is hiding or suppressing her true, private self. "I think you've seen every side of me on my show," she says, popping a piece of pound cake into her mouth.

We're accustomed to our performers having onstage and backstage registers, but for her there is no division between the two. This is, indeed, the definition of a reality star. She's not performing, that is -- at least not visibly. She is being, and being is her act. Her appeal derives from her uncanny consistency, as does that of her show. It's relaxing to watch the sisters sprawl on each other's beds and talk about nothing, to see them discuss constipation cures or their preferred way to eat Nilla Wafers. Like Warhol's screen tests, Keeping Up With the Kardashians has a disarming purity. It invites us to glory in its stars' mundanity, which permits us to enjoy our own. 

***

"My makeup artist said to me the other day, 'You haven't taken a selfie in a while,'" Kardashian says, as the afternoon slides into evening and the light turns magic-hour blue. To remedy this, she posted one of herself in full makeup and a white terrycloth robe, with the literal caption, "It's been a while since I've taken a selfie." It garnered more than a half-a-million likes. Selfies have been on her mind lately. She is putting together a collection of her oeuvre, called Selfish, to be published by Rizzoli in the spring. She has spent hours sifting through her vast, meticulously organized digital archive. "The book company edited them, and I was like, 'Wait a minute! There are like 300 here that you're not adding!'" she says. I remark that I am surprised she can remember and differentiate among a bunch of near-identical photos of her face. She can, she says; she is organizing them chronologically, dating them by what she wore to specific events. "I know what I wore, what accessories I wore, where I was, who I was with," she tells me. "I remember everything." Her mind, it seems, traps the minutiae most of us forget. For her, though, it's not minutiae; it's her life, and her life is her career. 

I ask her whether Kim Kardashian would exist without social media. "I don't think so..." she says, slowly, then reconsiders. "I don't think social media was that heavy when we started our show, but I think we really evolved with social media." The next day, as I scroll through Instagram, I come across a photograph of her, taken the night of our interview, wearing the champagne getup at a restaurant in Venice. I also find two photos of North toddling around the pumpkin patch in a tiny fringed cape and Baby Vans. One of these pictures has more than a million likes. "I love sharing my world with people," Kardashian tells me, and I detect no hint of falseness. "That's just who I am." No more, no less.

Kim Kardashian tops Forbes most overexposed celebrities list!

Kim Kardashian tops Forbes most overexposed celebrities list!





























We talk about her all the time, so we’re not surprised to hear that Kim Kardashian has been ranked as the most overexposed celebrity on list compiled by Forbes magazine.

The publication had E-Poll conduct research into the celebs who seem to be everywhere all the time. Ready for the science bit? When asked 65% of the general public though that Kim is overexposed, while the average for most celebs is just 5%, reports Forbes.

The list – which obviously focuses on American celebrtities – is full of Reality TV stara, including Kim’s sisters Kourtney and Khloe, but there’s a good reason why they dominate the list,

“A decade ago being overexposed was the kiss of death,” says Gerry Philpott, E=-Poll’s CEO, “but today it’s necessary to fuel Reality TV.” In other words, if you’re not constantly courting attention, the public will soon forget about you. The full top 10 is below – tell us who would make your list.


Kim Kardashian – 65%
Lindsay Lohan – 64%
Snooki – 64%
Nadya ‘Ocotomom’ Suleman – 62%
Paris Hilton – 60%
Kate Gosselin – 57%
The Situation – 56%
Kourtney Kardashian – 53%
Levi Johnston – 51%
Khloe Kardashian – 51%

Kim Kardashian Attacked on Red Carpet: Flour-Bombing Me ‘Is Not Acceptable’ (UPDATED)


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.

That probably is the craziest, unexpected, weird thing that's happened to me. Like I said to my makeup artist, I wanted more powder and that's a whole lot of translucent powder right there.

But today the reality of being violated by a cooking product must have sunk in, as Kim is now reconsidering filing a complaint. Perhaps she realized, as so many Twitter users pointed out, that dumping a bag of flour on Kim Kardashian looks like a pretty good time. Taking legal action may help prevent copycat flour-bombing crimes.

I said earlier no I wasn't [going to file a complaint]. I am just going to think about it, because I don't want someone to think they can really get away with that. So we are going to handle that.

Of course, what Kim is really upset about is that the flour-bombing incident took away from the charity event she was attending — well, OK, she was attending a launch of her new fragrance True Reflection, which benefits the organization Dress For Success.

Kim regrets that the underprivileged women attending the event "got the shine taken away from them a little bit." And that's why she keeps giving interviews about the flour-bombing instead of talking about the charity. Be sure to check out E! Online's latest coverage to find out how to get flour out of a dress most of us can't afford.

UPDATE:
3m360 reports that Kim Kardashian will indeed be pressing charges, and will call law enforcement at some point within the next few days.

According to our sources, Kim wants to send the message that people are entitled to their opinion, but should not resort to violence.

Kim Kardashian And Her Sisters Humiliated And Abused By Their Men


The cover of the March 28 issue of In Touch Magazine features an expose of how Kim Kardashian and sisters Khloe and Kourtney have been humiliated by their men. Now that is a bit of a switch since the Kardashian sisters are usually portrayed as bossy bitches that rule the roost but apparently they suffer as well – not just their men.

We learn that Reggie Bush used Kim for kinky wild sex – he treated her like a $10 whore – but then told friends: “She’s disgusting!” Can you imagine – Kim Kardashian reduced to begging for sex and then being tossed like a cheap hooker?
Next comes Khloe – it seems that Lamar claims that she ruined his career. We all know that Lamar was demoted to the minor leagues last week after playing the worst basketball of his career. Lamar is so pissed off at Khloe that he refuses to have sex with her and is forcing her to get pregnant via IVF!
And what about Kourtney? Well Scott is so fed up with the constant fighting that he has moved out and gotten his own apartment! Scott has always been a bit of dog so perhaps Kourtney will be better off without the cheater?

In Touch features the blurb: Kardashian Sisters Humiliated By Their Men – Secretly reunited with low-key NFL star Reggie Bush — and even promising to give up her reality TV career to elope with him — Kim figured a ring was coming in no time. But clearly, Reggie didn’t share her feelings. As pregnant Kourtney struggles with weight gain, stress and morning sickness, baby daddy Scott Disick isn’t helping her one bit. Khloé used to think her husband, Lamar Odom, shared her dream of having a baby — but no more. Ever since Lamar was traded from the LA Lakers to the Dallas Mavericks — and temporarily demoted to the D-League — Lamar, 32, has blamed Khloé and her fame-seeking family.

Don’t forget to come back to CDL Friday when we will have all the juicy details of these outrageous revelations!

Kim Kardashian Topless: She Takes Off Blond Wig—and Her Shirt—in Sexy New Photo



Just one day after Kim Kardashian was spotted wearing a blond wig—not to mention giving us a glimpse of her hot new lingerie ad with sisters Kourtney and Khloé a few hours later—the E! reality star decided to lose the fake 'do...and a whole lot more

Kim graciously posted this Instagram photo of herself topless during the wee hours of Tuesday morning, wearing pretty much next to nothing but a tiny pair of pale-pink tap pants and covering her chest with a white sheet.
"Can't sleep tonight..." she tweeted.
Of course, now we won't be able to, either

Did Kim Kardashian Steal Kris Humphries’s Money?


On Saturday, a story came out in TMZ claiming that Kris Humphries was demanding millions of dollars from Kim Kardashian to avoid an ugly public divorce – and that he had earned over $1 million from sources related to the wedding. Our research tells us that Kim is desperate to keep her divorce out of court , as she would rather have it be kept out of the public eye. Does it surprise you that she’d want to be left out of the public eye? Kris Humphries’s camp is saying that all of the money he made off of his wedding to Kim Kardashian, and more, is being kept from him. Oh, no! Kim K is holding his money hostage!Now it turns out that Kris might be scammed out of all that wedding money because he was stupid enough to leave it in a joint account with his fame-whore wife.


3m360 Exclusively Reports:

Sources close to Kris Humphries say he has no beef with the story we posted yesterday — that he made a bundle off of his wedding to Kim Kardashian – but according to Kris’ camp … the bballer hasn’t seen a penny and Kim has it all.We’re told before they were hitched … Kim and Kris opened a joint account in which they deposited all the money they made from the wedding and other ventures. Our sources say Kris did indeed get money for selling wedding photos and appearing on the Kardashian reality show … but they say all that money went into the joint account and Kris never got any of it

Ray J Peed On Kim Kardashian In A Sex Tape



HA! Get it? Because the only reason Kim Kardashian is famous is because Ray J peed on her in a sex tape that she sold herself because she’s an opportunistic cretin? Oh, I am good sometimes … anyway, Ray J is the latest celebrity who thinks that an ability to do something entirely removed from writing somehow means he can write, which means he’s going to (get a ghostwriter to) pen his autobiography in which he discusses how Kim loves the black dick and being a jealous harpy. The Huffington Post reports:

“[KK] let me know she wanted to get with me. She left her husband for me as soon as we started having sex.”

The R&B singer also reveals “KK’s” seduction secrets, like greeting him with hot towels and toothpaste on his toothbrush in the morning and providing sexy lingerie fashion shows at night. Ray J doesn’t hold back when it comes to writing about their sex life, either.

“We were like animals; sexually free to try anything, and we did. For years KK and I had a great sex life,” he writes. “There was more to our relationship, but the majority of it was about our wild and extreme sexual chemistry. She was a straight freak who was down to do whatever, whenever and that seriously hypnotized me.”

But Ray J said things took a turn for the worst with his former flame, when jealousy reared its ugly head. “She wanted to know where I was at all times,” he writes. “She literally thought I was cheating with every girl I ran across.”

Of course, he was cheating on her, but said since she cheated on her husband with him, he never trusted her. “I had no respect for her,” he writes.

Hmmmm, so Kim was cheating on her first husband with a guy who she accused of cheating on her with every girl he saw? You have to realize that this is pretty much par for the course when you’re an awful human being. I mean, she could just cheat on her husband, but that wouldn’t be shitty enough, so let’s also sit her on top of the high horse where she thinks it’s wrong to cheat because, and I’m sure this must come as a shock to some of you, but Kim Kardashian is a bad human being.

New Book Of Ray-J Might Be Called “R.I.P Kim Kardashian’s Career”



After a sex tape with D-list celebrity Ray J leaked in 2007, Kim Kardashain clawed her way up the fame ladder so fast that by the time she was famous, it was too late for any of us to stop her or ask how it happened. One second she was a nobody with a barely famous father, the next second her family was in our faces 24/7. It seems almost impossible to remember a time when we didn’t know their names or their scandals or the look of Bruce Jenner’s tightly botxoed skin.
But it looks like Kim Kardashian’s career might be coming to an end. While I hoped for a quick halt that would cause to just cease to exist in the media, it’s likely going to be a slow-moving disaster where more and more people come forward and accuse Kim of manipulating PR to her advantage. While they’re most certainly not doing this out of the good of their hearts, it’s definitely interesting to start seeing the other side of Kim. Not the woman dreamed up in an E! brainstorming session, but the woman who did what she had to do to get famous.Ray J, her co-star in “Kim and Ray J Have Sex,” reveals in a new tell-all book that Kim cheated on her first husband Damon Thomas with Ray J.

In his new book, “Death of a Cheating Man: What Every Woman Must Know About Men Who Stray,” Ray J refers to a former flame who he dated for two years as “KK.” In addition to the initials matching those of Kardashian’s, the time frame given for the tryst matches the length of their relationship. Ray J, 31, claims “KK” pursued him and slept with him while she was still married to her first husband, music producer Damon Thomas. Kardashian has previously denied cheating on Damon, who she divorced after four years in 2004.

Cheating allegations certainly don’t put Kim in the best light. Especially considering her other ex-husband, Kris Humphries, supposedly also has juicy details about Kim to share. Details that she appears desperate to hide. Before her wedding she was some kind of American sweetheart. Maybe not the woman you wanted to be, but the woman you wanted to be friends with. She came out of nowhere and became famous for being famous. She made millions of dollars on endorsements, appearances and magazine covers. Weren’t we all a little jealous of the fact that she made a career of being herself?
But her now infamous 72 wedding last fall changed all that. Suddenly, everyone saw through her little act and started to think that her life choice were much more calculated than they realized. Who makes millions of dollars on a wedding and then gets divorced after 72 days? Someone with a motive.
Suddenly her legions of fans didn’t seem so loyal. People criticized her more openly and turned Kris Humphries into the victim. While I’ve never been inside a Kardashian PR meeting, I doubt this was the plan.
and now, with Ray J’s cheating accusations, it looks like this might be the beginning of the end. Kim Kardashian’s just another trashy reality star who’s 15 minutes in the spotlight are up.

Ray J Calling Kim Kardashian A Cheater



Ray J has been in the news lately for having dated/hung out with/slept with/whatever Whitney Houston. But don’t forget that he’s also the moron guy who released the sex tape featuring himself and Kim Kardashian, thus launching her career as a successful…something.
Well now Ray J is calling Kim Kardashian a cheater in his new book, according to HollywoodLife (per Life & Style). You’ll recall that Kim was married (for the first time) to Damon Thomas, and Ray J claims that the cheating took place while they were still very much together.
His book, titled “Death of the Cheating Man” (ha), Ray J only refers to her as “KK.” Come on. That could be ANYONE. Like, uh……
And according to him, Kim pursued him like a mutha. “She let me know she wanted to get with me. She left her husband for me as soon as we started having sex…We were like animals — sexually free to to try anything, and we did.”
Ew.
Ray also reveals that Kim would “seduce” him by bringing him hot towels in the morning, along with toothpaste on his toothbrush—topped off with lingerie shows at night.
Double ew.
It never woulda worked, though. Kim became so paranoid that he was cheating on her (which he was) that she even tapped his phone. But he points out that he believes she was cheating on him too, so that makes it okay.
“I had no respect for her. I wanted more for my life…[to] find a woman that I could actually trust.”
Might wanna lower your standards there, Ray J.
I’m not sure what he’s trying to accomplish by broadcasting all their shiz, other than getting a nasty Dirt article written about him. She’s no saint, but if Ray J doesn’t think that this isn’t also a reflection of himself, then YIKES! Was this book really necessary? These are some pretty outrageous claims to be making, my friend.
Annnnd cue Kim’s lawyers in 3, 2, 1….
