"Who ARE those Kardashian broads?" Topic

Every time I stand in line at the grocery store, there is yet another well padded dark haired broad whose name begins with a "K", doing something to earn herself a magazine cover.

Who are they, anyway?

I just like to laugh at the Story's They Have. Elvis and MJ spotted with Big Foot !!!!!

From what I can gather, John, one can be a media star by wearing too much makeup, getting yourself siliconed in all the right places, nipped and tucked in others and acting like a complete tramp. If you have the right publicist.

The tabloids & paparazzi are working very hard trying to convince you, and the rest of the public, that they are important and you should believe it to be so. Has their work been in vain?

Only if they are dating Big Foot…..

OK, but what do they DO?

Have they starred in a reality show?
Have they done a rap song?
Have they appeared in public without underwear?

In other words, have they done anything important?

"OK, but what do they DO?"

I haven't a clue – I believe their dad defended someone of celebrity status once – before he died.

"Have they appeared in public without underwear?" Probably; would that be considered important – I mean by today's standards?

It's like Dennis Miller said about Hollywierd bombarding us with Sarah Jessica Parker trying to convince us she's hot – just stop it, already.

I haven't a clue – I believe their dad defended someone of celebrity status once – before he died.

Dean, that would've been Robert Kardashian, who played a role in the infamous O.J. Simpson trial, and was also a friend of O.J.'s. If my memory serves me correctly, while "The Juice" was on the run, it was Kardashian who publicly pleaded for O.J. to give himself up. Robert Kardashian succumbed to esophageal cancer on September 30, 2003.

As for his "celebrikids", they're just like all the other "celebrities" saturating the media ad nauseum these days: they're famous for doing practically nothing.

Saginaw:

You're right – in fact, IIRC, Kardashian was a close friend of OJ & had either already retired as a lawyer, or wasn't really practicing at the time. OJ asked him to help defend him because of their friendship – something like that anyway.

Now how his kids jumped into the limelight, I truly haven't a clue. I know the elder one dated a sports star, & floating in cyberspace is a video of them consummating their devotion to each other. Dean

Their step-dad is the famous decathalete Bruce Jenner. He kind of seems like a zombie now but seems to have kept a good sense of humor. They have 2 reality shows- Keeping Up With the Kardasians and Sluts Conquer Miami or something like that!

Ah, that's right – Bruce Jenner – now that guy was famous, back in the day. And deservedly so. He was on cereal boxes when I was a kid. Although, I was always more of an eggs & bacon kinda guy.

With the right publicist, script/speech writer, stylist, and Makeup Artist any one could be a Star…

They're the same as Paris Hilton, except prettier, haven't been to prison, and there are two of 'em.

They're famous for merely being famous. A "celebrity" named "Angelique" pioneered that trend in the 80's by being easy on the eyes and friendly with the paparazzi.

They're mostly harmless, but the problem is that they're using up your 15 minutes of fame.

I had remained oblivious until now. I take a near pride in not staying up on celebrity issues.

I remember Angelique…lol…saw billboards of her all over the LA area, that was basically the extent of her celebrity. She was well built, that didn't hurt either.

Kim K. lasted a few weeks on last season's "Dancing with the Stars".

OK, so they were/are in Reality TV. But, what got them there in the first lace? Don't you have to be "famous" already?
BTW, a magazine this week showed THREE of them, with another one waiting in the wings (with another "K" name) who is supposed to be even meaner.

I am just puzzled why they are on the covers of the worthless magazines, without my having a clue who they are.
It took me a while to figure out that the sleepy looking guy who was always pictured with the "not quite beautiful" pretty girl were vampires. Or somethng.

BTW, has any good ever come from being a Reality TV star?

I have heard of Kim but didn't know there were others. I am likewise clueless about the origins of her celebrity. She is pretty easy on the eyes though so I'm not complaining. I'd rather have her all over magazine covers than the aforementioned Parker woman.

"BTW, has any good ever come from being a Reality TV star?"
A quick search turned this up link not a long list, but I'm sure it'll grow

From my understanding after watching a bio with my wife, Jenner and the mother were married about 20 years ago. She had 3 young girls and he had 3 young boys. I am not kidding and it wasn't the Brady Bunch! Then they had at least 1 kid together. She had been married to Kardashian who was a famous lawyer for OJ. I think one of the races on Star Trek, The Next Generation was named after him. Really. One of the daughters had her own private sex tape that got out. Then she later dated Heisman winner football playe Reggie Bush. And she has a big ass! At least that's what they say about her on The Soup .The girls are really very attractve until you hear them talk and see how they act. Then you wish you had a frag!

I did hear mentions of them here and there, figuring it was another case of hot air balloon celebrity. The only pics I did see were before and after surgery pictures, once again proving that injecting silicone and botulism into your face at the age of 19 will turn you from an attractive young lady into an evil soulless android.

Same applies to Lady Gaga and Paris Hilton. They may not have been perfect, but they still looked like human beings at some point.

Fashion designers and Cosmetic Surgeons are probably the people who hate women most and spend all their energy in trying to turn them into objects of ridicule and they buy into it.

Like Paris Hilton, Nicole Ritchie and others, they're famous for being famous.

If you count "Dancing with the Stars" as being reality TV, then a couple of those participants have gained from being on the show. John O'Hurley went from being a "has been" to being the lead in "Spamalot" as well as hosting Family Feud as a result. Two of the pro dancers have had their careers enhanced as well. Those are just whom I can think of.

But otherwise, the Sisters K are useless except as eye candy.

Wyatt

The stars on "Dancing with the Stars" are mostly people we have already heard of. Jerry Rice? Kristi Yamaguchi?
I am glad that John O'Hurley took off. I think his voice is great.
And let's not forget the Muse Terpsichore, Chloris Leachmann.

SUBMITTED WITH NO SPELL CHECK OF NAMES WHATSOEVER…

Hey, John o'Hurley was good in Spamalot! (I saw it in San Francisco – lot's of fun!)

They are called Socialites

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Socialite

OK, but what do they DO?

Just buy one (it sounds to me like you want to buy lots of em!), read it and report back. I mean that's what this topic is about, isn't it? You're trying to justify to yourself the embarrassment f being seen buying one….

Buying a spoiled, talentless, big-assed woman? Regardless of the basic bad taste of that whole idea, I believe it is still illegal.

Their asses aren't THAT big. Not objectionably, at least. I have seen much bigger, particluarly in my Census work.

They have a check box for that?

Weren't they one of the alien races on Star Trek?

Looks like the third sister is going to marry into basketball, thus cementing the family name into sports announcers obligatory mentions for some time.

John, it all goes back to the sex tape that one sister did and got around on the net. Once one sister was net-tramp-famous, that got them into high-profile socialite status.

The family successfully milked that into one reality show ("Meet the Kardasian's" or some such garbage), and that launched them into DWTS, guest bit parts on Late Night TV, and famous enough to be in the rag-mags to no end.

And it just does not end, because there is a second Reality Show (not based on the videoed tramp, but the others) – no clue what it is called.

It all goes back to well-invested money with the publicist that "sold" the family to the right producers and program developers… viola! They are now in your face… maybe forever. Call it the sult-celebrity-domino-effect. (sic)

And all because of ONE sex tape.
