These are some photos of Kim Kardashian from the past few days in New York. She’s been with Kanye West, out and about (getting ice cream and going to NYFW), and then she and her sisters did an appearance at Sears for their Kardashian Kollection. I’m not sure what she was doing with the white outfit – I think that’s the most hideous one. And I’m pretty sure those are Kanye-designed shoes – which are just awful.
Anyway, I excerpted heavily from Kim’s Guardian interview last week – go here to read the old post. The interview was actually published, like… a week and a half ago. It’s old news, but since it was a UK interview, I think many American sites got to it kind of late or not at all. My point is that within the 24-hour Kardashian News Cycle (Kycle?), it’s old news. So I don’t know why Kim felt the need to “correct the record” on one of her ridiculous quotes this weekend, but she did. For the record, I thought there was so much BS in that piece, it would be hard for me determine which offensive statement needed its own correction/clarification. Turns out, Kim wanted to clarify her statement in which she seemingly compared her marriage ending (after 72 days) to CANCER. First, here’s the relevant excerpt from The Guardian original story, in context:
OK. So here’s the thing: surely, living under that kind of pressure to feed the beast, one is tempted to say yes to things one might otherwise say no to, for example marrying Kris Humphries and then divorcing Kris Humphries. It doesn’t even have to be mercenary; just a matter of needing to Make Something – Anything – Happen.
“Not really. We had done filming our season at that point, so we decided to film for the wedding. And that was a decision that he and I made together. But I think that, with any decisions in life [brace yourselves], like, I spoke to a girl today who had cancer and we were talking about how this is such a hard thing for her, but it taught her a big lesson on who her friends are and so much about life. She’s 18. And I was like, that’s how I feel.”
Believe it or not, I didn’t even think THAT was the most offensive thing in the interview, but many sites used that as the lead quote in their coverage. Still, it was old news, just another dumb statement from Ol’ Kat-face. So here’s her clarification, published on her blog:
I want to clear something up for you all, because it seems that something I said has been taken way out of context, as is often the case with quotes pulled from interviews. In a recent magazine interview, I told of how I had called a female fan who was battling cancer, and she told me how she had watched the show and seen how I had faced my own struggles, and had been inspired by how I had found the courage to change a situation that was making me unhappy.
She told me how her life had completely changed when she was diagnosed, and a lot of friends had deserted her, which is something I said I could relate to. In no way was I comparing my own experiences to that of a cancer patient. I was merely talking about how there are times in your life, and everyone goes through them, when you find out who loves you enough to stand by you through thick and thin.
Many of you know that my father passed away from cancer, and my grandma is a cancer survivor. This is a disease that has brought so much pain and heartache to our family and I would never want to offend or upset anyone who was battling cancer, or whose family members were battling or had passed away from cancer.
What I said in the interview was misconstrued and I wanted to explain to you all what the context was around my phone call with this girl. Xo
Since I’m already kind of exhausted by discussing Kim in general, I’m not going to put up much of a fight about this (BTW: that means she’s won!). I think it’s perfectly possible that her statement was taken out context, out of a longer explanation and discussion Kim was having about a fan she has with cancer. While I enjoyed the dry wit of The Guardian piece, it WAS a hit piece, and the aim was to damn Kim with her own words. Which isn’t difficult – Kim does and says dumb and offensive things all the time. Whatever, dude.

All I’ve got to say is that’s one hell of an ice cream she’s got in the 4th pic.
So hungry…. need lunch.

Maybe when she mentioned her (courageous and inspirational) “struggles” she was talking about keeping the ice cream on the cone while walking in 6 inch heels?

too bad she’s making a $5000 dress look like a dumpster.

She still makes everything about her, a few examples:
Talking about the cancer girl and referring to the struggles she had herself; making Khloe’s fertility struggles all about herself even though she never even tried to get pregnant; when Khloe told Kim she is pregnant (she thought so at the time) Kim’s first reaction was that SHE always wanted to get pregnant and get married first.
B****, sit down!

i agree with everything you just said. i know people like that in my own life who do that and you just want to shake them. Not everything is about you!!!! it is one thing to sympathize with another person by relating things to your own struggles in order to show compassion and understanding, but another to direct the conversation to you without even considering the other person. i think she is a classic case of an individual with severe narcissistic personality disorder.

Another classic in Narcissism Disorder is that the mother often choses one child as her favorite and denigrates the other children. Does this ring a bell with Kris Jenner’s behaviour toward Khloe and Rob?
Courtney seems to have escaped.

The look on the driver/bodyguard/doorman’s face in the last picture is hilarious. It looks like he’s thinking “Bitch, please…” lol

Thanks for pointing that out. I hadn’t noticed the driver & his expression because I was too busy looking at Kim’s shoes in that pic (which I like), & also trying to figure WTF’s UP w/Kanye’s pants in that pic. I think those are the WORST pants I’ve ever seen.
Anyway, yes, the look on the chauffeur’s face is priceless!!!

Anyone else notice how often she and Kanye eat ice cream? Is he trying to put weight on her? I’m starting to wonder.

@Sandra Dee – Oh God, I hadn’t even noticed that! Hilarious. Like he’s thinking “How did my life end up here?”
But as to Kim, I honestly didn’t think she meant what the magazine ran with. At least personally I don’t think that was her point, but it was a bad idea in general to make ANY comparison between her experiences & that of a cancer patient.

I’m more offended by how she’s been dressing lately. Find a damn dress that fits your body type Kim!!!

…and she looks like she feels very uncomfortable in the clothes. Almost self conscience?
Those while shoe booties look just like the faux fur lined house slippers I drag out every winter to keep my feet warm.

Those abominable snow booties are tragic. I just don’t think footwear that visually cuts the leg off at the ankle is the most flattering option for some folks (myself included).

I have more patience with the Kartrashians than most, but she is really going too far this time. She IS a cancer. She and Kayne gross me out. They both make asses of themselves together…real quick…punchline joke..no , I’m not making fun of heavy people. Very heavy woman on a donkey. She’s covered head to toe in purple. Scarves, mumu dress, tights, shoes all purple…quip: Does this outfit make my ass look big? Kim needs to hear that one, but she probably wouldn’t get it. Or ever change, no matter what an ass she makes herself. Kayne is yuck.

Wow, I didn’t even notice, but it’s true o.O I would’ve thought it was Beyonce if I just came across it outside this story.
Surely they aren’t attempting to be the ‘second coming‘ of Beyonce & Jay-Z?

Why are this girl’s clothes always awful? Isn’t she rich? Her man needs to stop dressing like a 12-year-old who can’t grow up, he needs learn to wear nice suits already.

Wow! You are right about the “ice-cream” diet! They are always eating it. Maybe she’s turning into one of those freaky eaters who will only eat one thing. They did several documentaries on that

SMH…Queen Kanye has ruined Kim’s style. She may be a talentless, attention-seeking do-nothing but at least ol girl could dress.
Now he’s got her in monochromatic, ill-fitting designs that do absolutely nothing for her. She looks uncomfortable and pretty much miserable.
Queen Kanye must be pullin the ultimate Punk’d cause their deal is too ridiculous even for them.

While I do not appreciate the brand and person that is Kim K., I like the beaded neckline on the white dress. However, the rest of the dress/outfit as well as all of her other sartorial choices are rather unfortunate.

I think in her mind she thinks she has suffered as much as that cancer patient. Her divorce experience should never be compared to cancer. She doesn’t understand reality. She should have said,”Yes, my divorce was painful, but you know, I just tales to a cancer patient and that really put things in perspective for me.” She has all the money in the world, any help and advice she needs, and can’t dress herself. Isn’t that what she does? Put on clothes and get photographed. That all she’s about. That’s it!

Oh please. She’s as stupid and narcissistic as they come. “Out of context” is the standard PR go to when a celeb suffers foot in mouth disease, but I’m not buying it.

I don’t care for her or Kanye’s ex Amber Rose. That said, to me all the clothes she is wearing looks like they were things left behind from Amber is her haste to get away from Krazy Kanye. Perhaps Kanye re-gifted them to Kim? All of the outfits above Amber could pull off. Kim not so much, especially the jacket dress which looks silly. She can not pull off certain clothing because she just doesn’t have the body for it.
She should probably have gone with her first instinct when she asked Kanye “Are you sure I don’t look silly?” And when he said “No, you look great”, she should have questioned his own abilty to dress himself with those pants and blue jean jacket and immediately changed her outfit.
Now let me go back to not giving a f**k about her and hold my head in shame for even caring enough to make a comment.

The correct response is when talking to an 18-year-old with cancer, it put everything in perspective about her whimsy-ass superficial life.

Me, me, me, blah blah, I, I, myself, me, me.
She WAS comparing herself to a cancer patient, since of course everything relates back to her and no one has struggled more than her. She’s facing backlash so she needs to do damage control. She’s getting fatter, and I hope the camera’s catch her clothes ripping and her tripping in her ugly shoes.

It pains me to say this, but am I wrong in thinking that Kim is seriously gorgeous? I know she is a plastic megadouche, but she is strikingly pretty. Anyone else on board?

Kanyes style works better on his ex Amber Rose. Taller woman’s who’s Physique flatters the outfits. On KK they make her look short and pudgy. So nice to see amber rose take marriage seriously. Good luck on the pregnancy.
