There are just loads of people out there that leave me with absolutely no idea as to why they are famous.
Your mind most likely went to the same place mine went.
When you ask a question like; “Why the hell is that person famous?”, almost everybody comes up with the same answer.
Okay, I asked that question around the office and nobody came up with an answer at all.
So that last statement was just plain wrong.
See, I don’t know everything and my perceptions are just as flawed as anyone’s.
But when I said the name “Kim Kardashyun (misspelled on purpose – my way is more fun to type)” the response was pretty much “Oh, yeah.”
So why is Kimmy and her whole Kim Kardashyun Klan (the bad KKK—not really ... but close) damn near everywhere I look?
Didn’t Kim make a sex tape or something?
I am not sure about that … but I am sure I won’t be looking it up.
She did marry a basketball star.
Then she divorced him and married a rap star (?). One who thinks way too much of himself at that.
She named her kid a map direction too.
None of that should afford her the 24/7 coverage she has gotten from the media though.
I have to admit to being puzzled though and went to Wikipedia where I found 10 pages (minus the multiple pages of references) of what made her famous.
One of the first lines I noticed was “(she) first gained attention through her friendship with Paris Hilton …”
Wasn’t Paris Hilton one of the “why is that person famous” trailblazers?
Fortunately, Paris has gone from her catchphrase of “that’s so hot” to actually being “that’s so not.”
Kimmy gained further notoriety by posing in various stages of oiliness and undress in a magazine.
The photos, which were going to “blow up the internet,” pretty much proved that her body has now been sculpted into a pre-teen boy’s vision of what his girlfriend should look like.
Don’t get me wrong, I admire a shapely caboose on a lady. I even like breasts, too. It’s just that those body parts are not supposed to knock things off furniture every time you turn around like a table-height dog with an overactive tail.
Personally, after seeing those photos (yes, I looked), I was more turned off by the cartoonish figure than anything else.
I’m kind of a fan of more normally-proportioned women.
Then there were the reality shows.
That’s where the rest of the Klan comes in.
We met her older sister Khloé.
We were informed that Khloé was going out with basketball star, Lamar Odom.
Then the two got married.
Then they divorced (separated … whatever).
Since I never watched any of the reality shows or their spinoffs, I have no idea when the matriarch of the Klan appeared. I am convinced (from admittedly limited data) that this seemingly shrew-like creature is at least partially responsible for emasculating the Klan’s patriarch, Bruce Jenner.
Speaking of emasculation, we have heard much lately about the former Olympic champion’s transition from Bruce to Caitlyn (who didn’t start her new name with a “K” because she wanted to “be her own person”).
Personally, I think it is brave to follow your dreams … no matter what they are.
Do I need to hear about celebrity sex changes though?
Only if they are trying to date me.
That should come very early on in the disclosure process though.
We have been “treated” to younger sister Kourtney’s ongoing attempt to look and behave more like Kim. Other than that, Kourtney’s only other claim to fame is that she is a Kardashyun.
Enough of the Kardashyuns.
I can’t believe I actually did research on any of this.
I REALLY don’t care.
But I took lots of words to tell you that — so make of it what you will.
Who else is famous for no reason?
There are the Duggars.
Why are the Duggars famous?
They breed like rats.
Because they breed like rats, they got a reality show entitled “19 Kids and Counting.”
Now, however, the Duggars are more well-known for the abuse that allegedly occurred within that family.
Kinda backfired on them didn’t it?
In the end though, the real questions should be:
1. Who the hell …wait … one more time …WHO THE HELL is giving these nutjobs reality shows?;
2. Who is watching these shows?;
3. Are their publicists some superhuman mass-hypnotists?;
and;
4. Where can we find the above-mentioned bastards to put them up against the wall?
From what I can gather, the main steps to becoming famous anymore are:
1. Get in with famous friends.
2. Change your body type (from man to woman or woman to teen-drool doll).
3. Be pretty — no matter what it takes.
4. Marry a basketball player or other miscellaneous athlete.
5. Breed, breed, breed.
At least these are the parameters the mainstream media seem to be giving us.
As a member of the media family, I offer my sincerest apologies.
