The worst types of celebrities are those who’ve made their name (and money) from the world seeing them at every angle possible through a shaky hand held camcorder - The Sex Tape!
Pamela Anderson’s had one, Meg White (may) have had one and Paris Hilton still gets a cut from the sales of hers! But these people were famous/ infamous before they were leaked. The one person who seems to be happy that theirs catapulted her into the limelight is Kim Kardashian.
Before the tape hit the net in 2007, she was just another hag who came from a rich family, wanted for nothing and dated singers or sports stars. After the tape, EVERYONE wanted to hear more about her; posing for Playboy, doing interview after interview and then signing up for the awful, yet very addictive, reality show “Keeping Up With The Kardashians” - possibly the most scripted “reality” TV show ever! The members of the Kardashian/Jenner family get up to something so stupid every episode that you wonder why Darwin hasn’t come knocking on the door to weed out their gene pool!! Do I watch it? Of course I do! I’ve been known to sit for hours at a time watching a Kardashian marathon on E!, or stream episode after episode online. Why? I have no idea. Don’t get me wrong – I watch it shouting at the screen at just how stupid one family can be, but yet if anyone reminds me I can change the channel, they get an ear bashing that I can’t hear the telly over their talking!
What amazes me the most about this woman, is that she’s now a multi million pound “brand” with a clothing store, TV shows clambering over her to get her to appear and getting paid thousands just to “Tweet” a link to the hottest new must-have item in your wardrobe. Not to mention the DVD’s, perfume, shoe and clothing endorsements, slimming pills, cupcakes, books, jewellery, tanning gear and her very own waxwork figure!
But it seems the message for success is “lay on your back for 30 minutes and the rest will fall in your lap!” Why is America pumping out these false idols into our lives, and why are we worshiping them? Why am I wasting my time watching this trash? I can only make the excuse that by watching how dumb they are, makes me feel smarter by proxy. But I’m smarter than her already – I’ve made a career of my own without having to bend over and suck in my stomach (yet!)
Most of the guys I know have openly admitted they have a thing for KK. But I’ve seen her sex tape. I’ve seen all her “redeeming features” in all their glory but I think she’s just a fame hungry ho, who knew EXACTLY what she was doing when Ray J hit the record button. Her Michael Jackson-esque child like voice doesn’t fool me either. They only regret she probably has over her sex tape is that she didn’t do it sooner (and that she didn’t use a proper celebrity and not the two bit singer no one cares about!)
But hey, it turns out, you CAN polish a turd and that turd can become a millionaire! Quick, pass me the camcorder!!!
