These are some nearly week-old photos of Kim Kardashian at her jewelry launch. I don’t know why we didn’t discuss these photos last week…? Maybe it was because last week, we had actual celebrity gossip and news and today is deader than dead. Maybe it’s because in these photos, Kim’s face isn’t overtly disturbing, like it usually is. She’s being lit very well here, and good lighting covers all kinds of Botoxy sins. I will say this – Kim’s once-pretty face is now morphing into a combination of her mother’s face and her older sister’s face. Kim is now a Kris/Kourtney hybrid. It’s creepy.

Anyway, a new interview with good ol’ Kat-face. She’s talking about her gigantic ring and whether or not she wears it when she’s at the gym, working on her large ass.

As if you couldn’t tell by that massive rock taking up residence on her ring finger, Kim Kardashian is a big fan of bling. And the reality-star-turned-fashion-designer continues to channel her sparkly aesthetic as her Belle Noel jewelry collection — created in collaboration with designer Pascal Mouawad — enters into its third season.

“I love to accessorize. I think more is more when it comes to fun accessories,” the newlywed (in Milly) tells WWD of her taste in jewelry, which she describes as “both glitz and glam, polished and put together.”

But just because Kardashian likes her ice doesn’t mean she never goes without it. “I don’t wear it to work out,” she admits. “I see women coming to the gym with earrings on. I can’t do it.” Same goes for bedtime, she says. “For some reason I need it all off, though people do … sleep with their earrings on.”

While she’s enjoyed collaborating with her sisters on items like their book, Kardashian Konfidential, and their Kardashian Kollection clothing line for Sears, the star admits she does love having a jewelry line to call her own.

“It’s something I do independently from my sisters. That’s kind of rewarding when they see pieces and really like it and want it,” she shares. “It’s all mine.”

I can’t work out with jewelry on, and I can’t sleep with jewelry on either. Since I rarely wear jewelry, it works out well. Anyway, meh, whatever. I’m not judging her on this one. Plus, she bought her engagement ring, so she gets to decide when she wears it.

Anyway, remember how there was a “mystery buyer” interested in purchasing Kim’s sex tape from Vivid Entertainment? Everyone was like, “Eh, Kim is such a famewhore, we get it, she’s the ‘mystery buyer’.” Well, first, Vivid’s Steve Hirsch told TMZ that Kim wasn’t the interested party and TMZ also claimed that Kim was interested in seeing who the buyer could be. Hirsch said he would sell the tape for $30 million – and the mystery buyer countered with a $20 million offer. That was just rejected:

The mystery buyer gunning for Kim Kardashian’s sex tape came up short where it matters most … in the wallet … because Vivid Entertainment has officially REJECTED his $20 million offer to take the tape off the market.

Vivid honcho Steve Hirsch tells us, “We were offered $20 million for the Kim tape but have decided that we are going to hang on to it … for now.”

He adds, “Although the offer that we ultimately received was substantial, when I realized that it wasn’t Kim it became less appealing. Kim is a superstar and if it were to be sold, it should be to her.”

Try again, Reggie Bush! Seriously, who had $20 million laying around to be blown (operative word) on a sex tape that everybody has seen? It’s not like this is some special and unique property that some collector wants to hold on to and keep all to himself – this is the property that launched Kim Kardashian into the C-list famewhore celebrity she is now.
