NakedFinger|1320098044|3051249 said:I still maintain though, and this may be VERY cynical of me, that the entire thing was for publicity. From waiting to announce the engagement so that it coincided with the season premier of the show, to Kris Jenner being involved in the ring process, to them saying Kim paid for the ring (or it was donated), to the engagement party and the shower being in magazines, to them completely whoring all of the vendors they use (the registry, dropping names for her dress, the chef, the wedding planner...hell she couldnt even help dropping the name for the designer of her bridesmaids gift). Everything thing was calculated, and strategic. It was like one big money making machine for all involved....both the Kardashian family and everyone single vendor who got their name mentioned, and especially good old E! Network. They milked this for all its worth....even Khole (who, coincidentally, I am surprised lasted as long after knowing each other for 2 weeks), didnt get like a multiple episode special I dont think.
ETA: Whew that was long!!! Haha Sorry to vent, I just hate how celebrities completely tarnish the institution of marriage and dont take anything seriously. While I dont agree with living a long miserable life with someone just because you arent "supposed to" get divorced, I hardly call 2.5 months "trying". You vow in good times and in bad....sometimes the bad comes before the good.
That just goes to show how "famous" he was. I never heard of him before his marriage to Kim and now he's all over the news. I heard the publicity has helped his basketball team and he may get his old job back.ame|1320110386|3051394 said:*cough* basketball.swingirl|1320109478|3051383 said:I believe they got married to boost both of their careers.

She's not famous for any talent so she should just go away. The whole family needs to go back to their shallow, money grubbing lives and leave the public alone. This just confirms it for me.

I wonder. I have never known who the Kardashians were or where they came from. I opened this thread on a whim, because the name "Kardashian" is as ubiquitous as it is mysterious in the reason for its fame! Now, at least, from Danny's posting, I have gleaned the information that OJ Simpson's trial may have propelled the family to fame! That insight is worth its weight in gold to me!!! Finally, I have a clue as to why they are famous!!! It seemed to me that they just instantly sprang onto magazine covers from nowhere. I knew I hadn't seen them in any movies or anything! But I digress (I think).
I know nothing of how this wedding came to pass, because I don't know one Kardashian from the other, but this thread was very useful in helping me to get at how "Kardashian" came to be part of the lexicon in 2011. Thanks to all of you!

Lamar Odom is a big star and Kris Humphries is a bench warmer. Yes they both are currently affected by the lockout, but Lamar had other endorsement deals before he married a Kardashian. Lamar is an Olympic bronze medalist and a world champion.ame|1320152725|3051612 said:Not a lot of people knew who Humphries was before the show. His job--just as Lamars--actually in part hinges on the basketball teams and players coming up with a deal. They're on lockout right now. After that, Humpries just needs a team. And I bet whichever team would've picked him up would have preferred him married to a huge media draw.

I don't think he's that good anymore. He only started 35 times in 2010.

Can't be that big of a star. Never heard of him until he married the chubby sister.

Seriously?
I, for one, applaud Kim for being a healthier body role model for young girls. Note: BODY role model, not 'role model, period'. I would rather have 9 year olds aspiring to have Kim's body than Kate Moss's, which is what I aspired to when I was young.

I wasn't referring to Kim. She's a little overweight, but I was talking about the really chubby sister.

Oh, I know you weren't talking about Kim. You were talking about the tall one married to Lamar Odom. I think it's horrible that you called her 'chubby' because comments like that are contributing to unrealistic and negative body image conventions that are perpetrated by the media and people who lemming right in step.
