Does Kim Kardashian have a problem with Valium & sleeping pills?

These are some new photos of Kim Kardashian and Kanye West in Cannes. For real!! Kim and Kanye are in the South of France for a reason, y’all. And the reason is not just “famewhoring”. According to Page Six, Kanye will premiere a new film tonight in Cannes. The film is called Cruel Summer – unfortunately, it’s not Kanye’s epic docu-drama on the awesomeness that is Bananarama. The movie is being called an “immersive ‘Seven Screen Experience’ for the eyes and ears unlike anything West has attempted before.” Kanye directed, wrote and produced it. I would imagine that it’s not very good, but God knows.

Damn it, now I can’t get the song out of my head. I HATE YOU KANYE. That’s not true. I love this song so much.

In other Kanye-Kim news, Radar and some Australian tabloid are now claiming that Kim could be a pillhead. Hm…

According to a shocking new report, Kim Kardashian has a growing pill popping habit that has her sister Khloé is concerned — and putting her foot down — and RadarOnline.com has all the details for you.

“She’s freaking everyone out right now,” an insider told Australia’s NW magazine. “She’s taking Valium and sleeping pills. The last time she self-medicated was when she split from Reggie Bush [two years ago,] when everything felt impossible. Khloé’s really freaked out by it: she found a bottle of pills and knew straight away what Kim was doing.”

The insider — calling Khloé “the queen of tough love” — said the wife of Lamar Odom has issued sister Kim a non-negotiable ultimatum: get clean in three weeks, or she’s telling both their mother Kris Jenner and Kim’s current beau, Kanye West.

The fashionista, 31, began the self-destructive behavior, the insider told the magazine, as pressure mounted in the wake of her public split with ex Kris Humphries , and a nonstop work schedule.

“It started with just a little bit to take the edge off or help her sleep, but she could become dependent upon pills, which worries her,” the insider told NW. “I think she’s secretly pleased Khloé found out because she’d have struggled to stop on her own.”

But! Kim’s spokesperson did tell The Mail that the report “is ridiculous.” And considering the whole story originated with an Australian tabloid, I tend to think it’s BS too. Plus, for all of her faults, I just don’t buy that Kim is a drug user, whether it’s prescription drugs or illegal drugs. The woman barely drinks any alcohol – she’s not some crackie. Her drugs of choice are fame, money and plastic surgery.

Last thing – yes, Kim is totally wearing the exact same Pucci gown that Gwyneth Paltrow wore to last year’s Emmys. Is it weird that I kind of like it better on Kim? Not from the back! But from the front, I kind of like the way Kim fills it out.

    kim looks awful in this dress, as she does in most things that she squeezes herself into against all odds. i mean, she has enough money to buy stuff her size that would flatter her – i don’t get it.

  2. Zelda says:

    Sorry to say that I think that emptiness in her eyes is just actual emptiness.

    Would explain the weight gain, though.

    • maggs says:

      Why would it explain the weight gain? Sleeping pills make you gain weight?

    • TheOriginalKitten says:

      Benzos causing weight gain? Not to my knowledge..

    • corny says:

      valium, prescribed not for her but for her viewers

      • OriginalTiffany says:

        Valium and benzos do NOT make you gain. I am currently down from 14 meds (the antidepressants make you gain) to 3 and valium is one of the last because it is tricky as are all benzos to wean after a long time. I had Grave’s disease (hyperthyroidism) now hypo, but developed insomnia and anxiety.
        Even now that I am Euthyroid (normal due to hormone pills), I am still on the benzos.
        I Weigh as little as I did in high school. My wedding dress and sophomore prom dress fit last night. My daughter and I were having dress up night at my moms.

        It was the antidepressants that made me a fatty. I’d say 45 from the thyroid when it died and 45 from the pills. All gone. Yay! Im Just saying’ feels way better!

    • Beatriz says:

      Ladies, Zelda is right; sleeping pills can cause weight gain (just like antidepressants, etc.). They can cause an increase in appetite and most people wake up being a bit drowsy, so they eat in order to regain energy. Plus, some people sleep-eat, since a pill only relaxes the body, but not the brain activity. I’m not saying that EVERYONE gains weight when taking a sleeping pill, but it is very possible for a lot of people.

      • TheOriginalTiffany says:

        You are talking ambien, totally differentt than benzos. Different class of sleeping pill all together.

        I’ve taken both. Boy for even a medical person it’s hard,to tell your own doc no. Took a lot of learning on my part to say nope, not taking those anymore. Because they will keep handing them out,like candy.

    • the original bellaluna says:

      Zelda – You are correct, Madame! I don’t take sleeping pills because Lunesta gave me a wicked-bad headache and actually kept me awake; and I actually slept-ate when I took Ambien.

      I didn’t realise it until I woke up with BBQ sauce on my forehead and in my hair one morning. My kids – then teens – looked at me and said “You don’t remember coming out here and eating those wings?!?” (That was the last time I took Ambien!)

  3. Dani says:

    She is the most uninteresting woman in the world.

  4. gee says:

    I think she looks infinitely better than Goop in this dress. I don’t think she’s a druggie, but with ‘celebrities’ today, nothing would surprise me.

    • Zelda says:

      Celebrities today? Celebrities of yesteryear would make your toes curl…Liz Taylor and Marilyn Monroe come to mind as notoriously skilled pill poppers…

      But I agree with your use of quotes around the word, here.

  5. Nanz says:

    I hate myself for clicking and now commenting on this story. It’s early in the day – there may be redemption for me yet.

    Anyway, my comment is simply this: bogus story. No way is she a druggie. I don’t say this in her defense. I say it for the same reasons you give – she’s addicted to fame, money, plastic surgery.

    • ZZZ says:

      Don’t hate yourself for clicking!! ♥

    • danielle says:

      I don’t think she’ll flame out Paris Hilton style – she really seems to controlled to abuse drugs.

      • IrishEyes says:

        You would be surprised at how controlled an addict can be. That said, I’d put money on her using sleeping pills every now and then, but I don’t think she’s addicted.

  6. thinkaboutit says:

    I love how she’s dressed for the Met Ball (to which she was not get invited), but he’s dressed for a Yankees game. Did they not get dressed in the same room??

  7. Roma says:

    I love when someone is super dressed up and someone else is in a hoody. It makes one of them look ridiculous… or in this case both.

  8. lil ole me says:

    Gawd- will she stop at NOTHING to garner sympathy? Honey, we all know you used that poor, dim-witted, little boy for ratings. Just own your actions.

  9. Cirque28 says:

    It’s probably a completely fabricated story, but I do think she’s the type of personality who is prone to becoming a pharmie. Street drugs, no way. But pills… it’s possible.

    Plastic surgery addiction often goes hand in hand with pharmacological addiction. Sometimes that’s how it starts. You have a procedure, you get hooked on painkillers afterward, you keep having things done and getting more prescriptions. Then you wake up one day looking like you belong to a different species.

    • Roma says:

      If you ever watch her sex tape (and I’m not recommending it), she was very high on cocaine. I think that when she stopped hanging around Paris her drug use stopped.

      I can see an addiction to sleep aids as it’s so easy to develop.

    • lw says:

      Totally agree that it is a fabricated story. But also agree that she is definitely the type to have a pill problem. I think people forget how physically painful all of those plastic surgery procedures can be. And to me she has always seemed sedated. Vapid, sure. Dim-witted, certainly. But sedated more than anything else.

  10. Dawn says:

    More dead eyed pictures. Man this chick is so into herself she can’t even tell she is with a very unattractive man, such a needy hippy thing. Yuk…she is so dressed up and he is so underdressed it’s hard to tell just what or where they are going. Neither have one ounce of class.

  11. Marjalane says:

    The lace at the neckline of this dress makes it look like she has chest fur creeping up. HA!

  12. Sara says:

    “The woman barely drinks any alcohol – she’s not some crackie.” Ahh the very reason you state she wouldn’t is the very reason I think she would. Girl has major anxiety issues and when she said she didn’t drink on one of her shows, I immediately thought because she is on anti-anxiety meds as to why she doesn’t drink. So I think she has been on some sort of prescribed meds for a long time and maybe now she is starting to abuse them. Remember, pill poppers don’t like to drink!

    • TheOriginalKitten says:

      THIS! Yep, there are pill poppers that drink (the ones that have a death wish) but for the most part they avoid that. My ex was addicted to Oxy, NEVER drank a drop of alcohol. Not his thing.
      Would definitely believe Kim as ap ill-popper, not street drugs but pharm YES.

    • Manda says:

      Co-sign!!

    • HadlyB says:

      Agree. Just because she’s not a big boozer doesn’t mean she doesn’t like pills or use them, or could possibly be addicted.

      Pills are easy for her come by in her profession, easier to take on the sly, etc.

    • satty says:

      I don’t see anything wrong with taking a prescription for your anxiety – doesn’t necessarily make her a “pill-popper”

      • OriginalTiffany says:

        True Satty, some of us have major medical issues we need treated.
        So yes, whenever I have taken a pill, no drinking. That’s being responsible.
        I don’t really like drinking anymore anyway, but mix a benzo and some wine and my family is ready to stage an intervention. You sound wasted and slurring.
        So I vowed that would never happen again. Now when I totally wean off the benzos, I don’t plan on picking alcohol back up.
        Champagne is not included in this equation. BUBBLES!

  13. Snowflake says:

    i think she does. it would explain how she never shows much emotion.

  14. cupidtyrox says:

    I’m sure Kim would love all the attention she’ll get if she goes to rehab. Not to mention the ratings for her stupid show. Plus she could milk it for sympathy. I’ve learnt that when it comes to Kardashians, it is best to not put anything past them

  15. SS says:

    She certainly has a botox problem. She could hardly move her face when she was crying about her marriage in the last episode of Kim & Kourtney take New York. That was horrible. I think she looks more and more like her mother every day.

  16. ZZZ says:

    So, essentially, doesn’t this technically mean she can’t even sleep with herself because she is so horrible
    ? ☻

  17. Karolina says:

    She looks awful, she is just to short and meaty for this dress. it is not a nice dress anyway, but gwyneth looked 1000x better.

  18. Rory says:

    MOO

    • polk8dot says:

      Will she ever stop jacking up her face? That bottom lip is so filled up, it is ready to burst. It is so out of proportion to the upper lip and the rest of her face, it is actually now protruding forward, especially in the last pic.
      When it fianlly pops, it will look like they got ‘slimed’ at the Kids Choice Awards, LMAO.

  19. Molly says:

    The first thought that popped into my head yesterday when I read this story was that it was a rumor started by the Kardashian’s to garner attention and sympathy.

    And the more I thought about it, I realized how sad that is. That this family has lied and schemed and bullsh*tted the public for so long that whatever they do, I (and probably many others) write it off as a publicity stunt.

    It’s going to be a sad day for the Kardashian’s when something really does (love, marriage, illness, death, etc.) happen and nobody pays any attention to them. They really need to go back and re-read “The Little Boy Who Cried Wolf” and have somebody explain the moral of the story to them.

    • Rumorhasit says:

      This is why I believe Chris Humphries annulment is so important. After deposing Kim, and having a trial, they are going to be revealed to the public for what they really are, and it’s not going to be pretty, as PMK tries to lie and dissemble her family out of that hornets nest…And there is one thing, only one thing, that attention wh0re Kim won’t film…her deposition.

  20. QoFE says:

    Thanks for the video. Always loved Bananarama….great memories! 🙂

  21. Hannah says:

    She was high on coke in her sex tape

  22. Macey says:

    I think this is like planting another publicity stunt seed. anything for ratings!
    Kris is probably already planning ahead to the rehab and recovery episodes along with a big co./sponsor paid “Kim’s home from rehab and fully recovered” party.
    Her addictions are attention and fame-whoring.

    • blenheim says:

      that’s what I thought too. Although you never know, they are human too….maybe?

  23. me says:

    It’s so weird how she’s always so dressed up and Kanye is always so dressed down…it just looks odd when they are together dressed as if they are going to two completely different events.

    I dont’t think she’s popping pills. I do wonder what she was doing when she used to hang out with Paris Hilton…did she just sit and watch while Paris smoked weed and sniffed coke?

  24. tru tru says:

    she was def high in the sex tape, tweaking and gritting her teeth side to side, the only action I saw in the whole film.

    who knows or cares.

    something else staged to get more viewers to watch that vapid show.

    no thanks

    ps. the dress is not for short sausage body chicks.

  25. Itwillrain says:

    I don’t envy her if she has to get off of Valium or any other benzo. I thought I was going crazy or perimenopausal when I quit Valium after only two weeks of use. It was hell.

    • OriginalTiffany says:

      I’m doing it after 5 YEARS! It’s hell. More than hell.
      It will be over though, so I’ll deal. Then I’m freeeeee!
      And guys, honestly unless you bomb your self with them, you don’t look dead eyed. I take tons of pics and it doesn’t show, but I don’t overuse or take to get stoned.

  26. palermo says:

    But, but, her life is so stressful! Do you know how tiring it is to purse your lips and stick out your behind all day long? Not to mention the constant clothing changes throughout the day. Have some compassion.

  27. Anon e miss says:

    Dear Celebitchy,
    Could you please ease off the coverage of the urinal cake? Especially the faker than fake stuff?

  28. Dee Cee says:

    She is too aware of how she is photographed, hence few expressions, no squints, grimaces.. an odd less than perfect.. facial mar..

  29. mar says:

    I really love this outfit- but I think someone SLIGHTLY less curvy would wear it better-

    I liked it less on Gwyn

  30. MissVJJ says:

    Didn’t Ray J just head to rehab recently for something?

  31. ladybert62 says:

    That dress is hideous.

  32. some bitch says:

    She looks so dead eyed all the time. Must be benzos.

  33. Tia says:

    WTF? I dont get it. Kris Humphries was the most attractive guy she has ever been with, and then to go to kanye who is ooooooooo firggin fugly!! Plus, so sorry but she looks like she is the size of a side of a barn in this dress..

  34. ZenB!tch says:

    That dress makes her look like she has stretch marks on the visible part of her tummy.

    Was Goops version this high waisted?

  35. Desi says:

    She’s not a hard druggie, but years ago there were several pictures of her and Paris Hilton Smoking weed in a car and high afterward. I guess you can google it. Kim is a pretender….so pretending not to do drugs wouldn’t be a stretch…even if it’s just weed.

  36. skuddles says:

    Oh cripes, probably something Kim herself leaked… see, I’m an addict too???? Don’t you feel sorry for me??

    Dress is not good with that gap in the mid section… just makes her look heavy on both ends.

  37. Aries says:

    Thats what I used after my relationship drama, but they stop working after awhile . . Kim K has “a nonstop work schedule?” ahahahah

  38. jc126 says:

    Does she have a problem with Valium and sleeping pills? I hope so.

  39. Shoe_lover says:

    You should know that NW is full of sh!t plus they are hypocrites

    i wonder what it means that she is wearing Goops dress

  40. Lisa says:

    Ooh, is twitter going to explode with this one. She’s going to tweet to beat the band about this!

  41. Krock says:

    2nd picture from the top. My gawd! Her lips! Her cheeks! Her eyes! Her forehead! Gosh shes looking really pulled and puffy and strange 🙁 Shes such a natural beauty, its a shame shes going out of her way to ruin it.

  42. HELLO says:

    She’s just in this relationship to get photgraphed all the time. Think about it Kris Humphries was a ball player, but he doesn’t know all the celebs like Kanye does. She just wants her picture taken 24/7 and Kanye can get her into the A list parties she wants to be at. Kris Humphries was a ball player but didn’t have an in to all the parties like Kanye doesn. She’s so obvious she wants to be seen at every event. With Kris that wouldn’t have happened.

  43. Snowpea says:

    Late to the game but still.

    This is the second week in a row that NW has had some juicy scoop. Last week, Brandi, this week, Kim K is a pill junkie! Hilarious!

    Even funnier is that NW is just a two bit supermarket rag that does the “Stars Without Makeup” as often as it can get away with (they sell alot with those covers) and they are also partial to that awful magazine hypocrisy, like “Posh’s Health Crisis! Wasting Away!” but then if she gains even a gram they’re like “Posh Finally Embraces Her Curves!”.

    Too too funny.

  44. frothy says:

    hopefully.

  45. the original bellaluna says:

    It wouldn’t surprise me, with the way she travels all over the world, that she uses sleeping pills and Xanax. Her bio-rhythms must be totally screwed up (just like her jacked face & her sense of values).

    That outfit is not the least bit flattering on her. When, oh when, will A) she learn to dress for her body-type and B) the “Gramma’s lace doily” trend go away?
