Quasi-Celebrity You’re Never Heard of #1: Kim Kardashian
How weird is it to read something that’s supposedly about a “celebrity,” only to have it turn out to be someone that you’ve never heard of in your life?
That’s what happened to me when I saw thehollywoodgossip.com discuss their Celebrity of the Year finalists, where finalist #2 is apparently Kim Kardashian. Who? Wha? WTF? At least that site helps us out with a little bit of information:
In 2007, Kardashian proved just how far a giant pair of boobs, large rear end and penchant for the spotlight can take a young lady born into millions of dollars.
The Hollywood Gossip staff had never even heard of this socialite 12 months ago, but a Ray J sex tape, Playboy pictorial and reality TV show later, and Kim Kardashian sits (or straddles, really) atop the celebrity gossip world.
She’s even left former best friend Paris Hilton in the dust.
Ah. Someone who inherited money (a la Paris Hilton), released a sex tape (a la Paris Hilton), had a reality show that I’m guessing nobody watched (a la Paris Hilton), and was friends with Paris Hilton. Hmm. Sounds like a rerun. I guess that’s what the writer’s guild strike will do to your pointless quasi-celebrities.
Can’t we get some new, creative celebrities? Maybe someone getting famous for levitating lesser celebrities with her mind? That would be pretty cool, I’d watch her show.
