Is Kim Kardashian’s weight talk just a way for her to get a Weight Watchers deal?

If I was Kim Kardashian, I would have come to the quick realization that “the haters” were going to yell at me for whatever I wore, so I might as well be comfortable. Maybe Kim has reached that point? These are pics of Kim on Friday, after her week-long promotional extravaganza for Tyler Perry’s Temptation was closing out (incidentally, while Temptation did decent at the box office, Kim’s performance was widely slammed). Aren’t you happy that Kim actually seems to be wearing somewhat comfortable clothes? Aren’t you happy that her ass isn’t hanging out in a too-short skirt? Aren’t you happy that she’s wearing pants (however unfortunate)? It is a relief to see her in a loose t-shirt and what looks like “fancy sweatpants” (which are fug).

But here’s the real question: was Kim trolling us this whole time? Was she trying to look bad? Was she trying to look big? Was she trying to get more and more attention because she, like Jessica Simpson, wants a big weight loss contract and magazine covers detailing her weight loss after the baby?

Could Kim Kardashian, whose dubious fashion choices have made her pregnancy curves look even larger than life, be teeing herself up for a deal with Weight Watchers? Industry observers are speculating that the blossoming reality star, who’s due in July with her child with Kanye West, was making a play for a megabucks deal with a weight-loss program to help her lose the baby weight, following in the footsteps of Weight Watchers’ currently pregnant spokeswoman, Jessica Simpson.

Kim has drawn ridicule for strutting around in tight-fitting couture maternity wear, including sky-high heels, snug dresses and A-line skirts. The baffling choices have prompted fashion commentator Amy Tara Koch to quip, “It’s like she’s trying to stuff 5 pounds of baloney into a 1-pound bag.”

Her size has also giving the celebrity tabloids fodder to publish headlines about the starlet’s ballooning figure, including this priceless kicker from In Touch: “Kim’s 200-lb. Nightmare: I Can’t Stop Eating!”

Kardashian this week tweeted about her unhealthy food cravings, posting photos of french fries and a burger from In-N-Out with a caption: “Damn!!! I spoke too soon! My 1st pregnancy craving! #InNOut #EnjoyingEveryBite.”

It all furthers buzz that Kim is publicly piling on the pounds to nail a weight-loss contract where she’d lose the fat later for a large payday. But a source close to Kardashian insisted, “There is no weight-loss deal on the table,” adding that Kim “loves her outfits. They are stylish and cute.”

A rep for Weight Watchers said that there was “no truth” to rumors it was looking at Kim as a possible spokeswoman.

Kardashian addressed the fat jokes on Jay Leno’s show Thursday night, saying that she’s gained 25 pounds during her pregnancy. But she seemed to be happy in her skin — for now.

“I’ve always been curvy and always embraced my curves, and now there’s more to love,” she said. “ I have the rest of my life to be skinny and to lose weight, and I’m not really worrying about it.”

[From NY Post]

If Weight Watchers doesn’t want a piece of the Kardashian ass, it’s not like WW is the only game in town. She could do Jenny Craig or Nutrisystem or one of the lower-tier weight loss programs whose names escape me at the moment. Kim is still sort-of training with Tracy Anderson too – maybe Tracy will sign Kim up as “the face” of some new line of postpartum weight loss programs. I’m just saying, it’s totally possible that Kim was just trolling us this whole time.

    Are we still talking about her? Everyday I hope that “poof”, she’ll be gone.

    • Kiddo says:

      Me too. I do not get the fascination with her. She is the dark-haired Paris Hilton.2. The 15 minutes of fame should be way over by now.

    • BB says:

      If Kim gets a deal or not, she still won for the simple fact that the media keeps talking about her. How can people complain about her, when every media outlet keeps talking about her? If she gets a weight lost deal, the media will be tracking her weight lost and reporting about it every step of the way.

      • anon says:

        The media makes or breaks you. AS long as we respond either negative or positive its still attention. Press feeds you truth & half truth & lies & how you respond is how they proceed.

      • PinkG says:

        I doubt she gets any endorsement.
        1. She’s a notorious habitual liar.
        2. She’s a notorious habitual liar.
        3. She is plastic, not so fantastic.
        4. She’s a notorious habitual liar.

        No one with weight issues can relate to someone is a….. wait for it…. a notorious habitual liar.

    • Flower says:

      Don’t worry Dorothy remember Paris Hilton? She was everywhere a few years ago and now she’s hardly ever seen. Kim and Co will go the same way. Alas there is sure to be a new Paris/Kim by then.

  2. The Original G says:

    I sorry but Kim is ALWAYS trolling for a deal. There isn’t a cranny of her body mind and soul that she hasn’t tried to monetize and that includes her pregnancy. She’s not a person, she’s a product.

    Her displays of emotion are saved for when she doesn’t get her own way. Poor Kim…..

    • Chloe says:

      That’s why I don’t have any sympathy for her no matter what. Watching her is like playing chess with Bobby Fisher. Every move is so calculated. I bet she will use her placenta for another stupid beauty gimmick or something. She is a whore on every possible level.
      BTW where is mr. baby daddy? Does he try to distance himself from baby mamma?

  3. JenD says:

    Since she seems to live to make a deal for money/fame (wedding to KH, anyone?), I’d totally believe that.

  4. Victoria1 says:

    She looks much better – covered up and comfortable. Anything is possible with this woman, I won’t be surprised if she’s the face if a post baby weight loss product/product. She’s a hustler

  5. lisa2 says:

    I thought Kim and her sisters endorse some weight loss pill or something. So if that is the case could she still do WW and that other product. Would that be some kind of conflict.

    • cmc says:

      QuikTrim. A few years ago when the Kardashians weren’t *as* horrible and hated, I saw some ads for that stuff and bought it. Spent a week just feeling non-stop nauseous and going to the bathroom way too much before I threw it out.

      • Sarcasmo says:

        Yeah, that QuikTrim is by a company that Disick either owned a piece of or was in charge of for awhile, and they got sued.

  6. Joanna says:

    i was just thinking, what, no kk or brandi posts today? then this pops up. lol

  7. Steph says:

    Oh no! It all makes sense now. The clothes, the comments, lying about the weight gain. So afterwards she can say I lost all 40 lbs! Vile. I feel quite gullible now.

    • Kas says:

      Exactly. The hideous outfits?? Too clever by half. We can talk about how dumb she can be fashion wise, but when she can’t even hide the'”cat ate the canary” look on her face when she is papped in her hideous outfits, it’s all a bit much.

      I’m thinking she’s shooting for something more high class/dollar than her beloved Quicktrim.

    • Hakura says:

      I don’t feel gullible. Kim can take a flying leap, to hell with her & any future weight loss deals.

      *We* still got to enjoy each day, waiting to tear the next God-awful outfit she squeezed into apart. (Incidentally, that’s probably the only way she could get them off after an appearance for the paps.)

  8. RK says:

    What happened to tracey anderson? I thought kim was doing her pregnancy project stuff.

  9. SunnySide says:

    Yeah she could be trolling- it could be under Loathsome Momager Kris’ directive…. A co-bid for a weight loss contract so Rob can finally get a job. Everyone knows he can’t/won’t get one on his own.

  10. elceibeno08 says:

    Of course it is possible we were all being played by the famewhore deluxe of reality tv.

  11. Tiffany27 says:

    Told you. Bitch formed a prayer circle hoping we would all talk about her weight gain so she can get her “Body After Baby” mag cover. I don’t know about Weight Watchers though, Kim’s not Jessica Simpson. People like Jessica and they hate Kimmy.

  12. Cece says:

    Seriously – where the heck is that baby daddy?? Any other couple that is apart this long is always blasted as “OVER” by the gossip rags. He seems to have 0% in her.

  13. Siren6 says:

    Her pregnancy is a fashion train wreck. Hands down the worst styling ever, daily.

  14. Madpoe says:

    so she’s parading around in horrible clothing to snag an endorsement?
    And yeah, where the hell is her sperm donor? he’s MIA from these photos for awhile.

  15. Lizzie K says:

    Wonder what her Q score is? Does she have any real mainline endorsements?

    ETA: I forgot about Sears, although I’d hardly call them mainline. Still, what else? Anyone know?

  16. lurker says:

    It’s a little off-topic, but what’s saddest to me is that in all these weeks of KK watching, she has NEVER been quoted as saying anything about being excited about bringing a new life into the world, about how she can’t wait to hold and love her little bundle of joy…nothing. If she doesn’t have some sort of epiphany once that baby is in her arms, the baby is doomed. KK, if you or any of your minions read this stuff…This isn’t all about YOU this time. At least pretend to want a baby, not just the attention of being pregnant!

    • SunnySide says:

      +1,000,000

    • Dawn says:

      Well now that she will read this you can bet to hear it in her next interview. She is so vapid and vile she needs to read gossip sites to see what the people expect from her like keeping her mouth closed and touching her stomach. Kimanye is all smoke and mirrors, nothing is real with this chick.

    • anon says:

      I agree with you … not showing motherly instincts at all. What she thought pregnancy was going to be she is sadly mistaken & it shows.

    • hatsumomo says:

      You are exactly right! She hasent spoken about the anticipation/joy/nervousness/fear or about the actual baby itself, just about herself, her weight, her “stress” and her opulent lifestyle so far. When I found out about my impending little one, all I could talk about was her; what she was gonna look like, about her schedule(yes, I already started planning her day schedule while she was only a few months in utero!) all my plans for her, what might her personality be like, ect… Im sure Im starting to test the patience of all my non-reproducing friends by now. But Kim is oddly silent about the actual baby itself or her feeling about it. Strange.

    • Hakura says:

      She hasn’t even really acknowledged that this baby is going to be a *person*, rather, like she’s waiting to give birth to a new fashion accessory that’s ‘all the rage!’.

  17. CocoBelly says:

    There, now THIS is how she should dress! She looks good. Major upgrade from spanxed the eff out.

  18. swack says:

    I thought that when she first announced the pregnancy none of the weight loss programs was going to offer her anything. She may get magazine covers (they can be paid for) but probably won’t get any deal. I also think Jessica is still on with WW after this second baby.

    • Sarcasmo says:

      ^^^THIS! I seem to recall reading about her hoping to get a deal from a weight-loss co, and none of them would have her.

      Countdown to her co-developing the KK Post Partum Weight-loss Program with Tracy Anderson in 3…2…1…

      (I really wouldn’t put ANYTHING past this trick.)

  19. Tania says:

    OMG she looks AWESOME today. Finally, some appropriate maternity wear!

  20. erika says:

    she seems to scowl more often these days…i love it. she looks mean!

    i can’t believe that ANY of the major weight loss companies would even think of hiring her as a spokesperson. no way. Most def NOT WW.

    I think it would be a horrible move and I personally would write WW for the Hell of it i hate her so much. Please, DO NOT sham me into thinking that KK lost weight using the PointsPlus program…please. PLEASE! She is a money/famewhore succubus please don’t make me suffer by having to hear here whiney/nasaly voice baby talk about her god d***m body.

  21. lucy2 says:

    Considering she got MARRIED for a lousy TV show, I wouldn’t put this past her at all.

  22. Shelly says:

    I’d rather she promoted WW, which promotes sensible eating, than promote those stupid and dangerous diet pills. It is completely irresponsible of her and her sisters to promote any diet pills, especially when the tween crowd idolizes them.

  23. janie says:

    Well of course it is! Anything to stay relevant & make money at the same time. The thought of seeing her in a commercial on every channel makes me sick. When will it ever be enough for this bunch of trashy skanks?!

  24. Dawn says:

    God she is ugly…look at those fake old lips of hers. Ewww…I thought people like her had plastic surgery to look better but like with everything else she just looks worse. I hope none of the major weight loss chains give her anything. She doesn’t deserve the attention she already is getting let alone more. All she ever did really by herself was release a sex tape where she gets peed on and worse. She is not a role model for anyone and the media should treat her like every other porn star.

  25. Miss Burger says:

    Who can speculate on her motives for dressing so horribly the last months? Let’s just be relieved that she FINALLY looks comfortable and IS WEARING FLATS!! I think this outfit is fine for a pregnant woman, and hope for more of the same from her. Maybe now she will concentrate on the baby; where her concentration should be. Kourtney could help her out here!

  26. Palermo says:

    Looks like she is wearing the small pillow instead of the jumbo sized one in these photos. I still don’t believe she is pregnant, her size goes up and down daily. She will get the diet endorsement and miraculously be slim almost immediately!

    • Belle Epoch says:

      I agree she is doing a Beyonce – the bump is not consistent plus her face hasn’t changed. Often the face of a pregnant woman will look different. So far not very convincing

  27. anon says:

    Isn’t she still in litigation for some weight loss product? WW has made it clear what they want & its’ not KIM. There is very little on KIM that is real injections, implants etc she is pretty much manufactured product herself. That is not what WW wants. They need some one relatable that goes through ups & downs like real people not someone who manufactures everything for attention. ROB has been trying too.. There not getting a WW deal. Someone will cash in with them but it won’t be WW & that is if her other lawsuit is not still in progress against her.

  28. elceibeno08 says:

    Oh my God, she is wearing sensible shoes! It’s a miracle.

  29. Hmmm says:

    Think maybe Bey got her “bump” back. This looks like no fakies, it’s all her. But yeah, not so big a bump for supposedly how far along she is. All about the publicity…

  30. mom2two says:

    I wouldn’t be surprised if she winds up with a WW deal after this, I think she’s been angling for one.

  31. lucy2 says:

    A little OT, but did anyone else see the story about about Khloe and Lamar’s charity not actually giving away the money raised? Supposed to be a cancer charity, hasn’t given a penny to any cancer related stuff. ESPN Outside the Line’s did a report on athlete’s charities. Pretty interesting.

    • Dawn says:

      I am not at all surprised by this. Khloe is still a KrapTrashian after all and it really is all about the money and the fame with these people always. No one in that family have any morals or shame. Hopefully they will be outed yet again for the a-moral POS that they are and the media will stop cramming them down our throats. Good for ESPN for telling the truth about these grifters.

  32. KellyinSeattle says:

    I saw Kim on TV saying that she liked her “tailored clothing” that her assistants designed for her because she still wants to feel sexy. And where’s Kayne? She also said it would be cute to name the kid with a name starting with “K”. Of course.

  33. EG says:

    Her bump situation is decidedly odd. I am four months preggers and at this stage there is definitely a lot of fluctuation–sometimes I look pretty normal, other times I am severely bloated and definitely look pregnant. However, my friends who are due in June and July have bigger, more pronounced baby bumps than KK–you can tell there’s a baby in there by 5/6 months! In the case of Duchess Kate, it’s understandable that she shows less since she is so very tall and lean. But Kim’s body totally mystifies me! I wouldn’t even guess that she’s pregnant from these pictures. It’s truly bizarre. Also, I agree with all the postings about her seemingly totally lacking any mothering instinct. She is oblivious to how shallow and stupid she sounds when she talks. I honestly believe she is completely convinced that she sounds likable or relatable. Sorry KK–your plastic deformed looking face just makes me cringe.

  34. BELLA says:

    POOR KIMMY…KAYNE PUT THE SLAP DOWN ON HER PLASTIC SURGERY GARBAGE WHILE BEING PREGO! SHE JUST DOESNT GET IT! THIS ISNT GOING TO WORK…WHEN THE BREAKUP HAPPENS,I COULD SEE HIM GETTING THE BABY.

  35. dorothy says:

    Everything this family/woman does is calculated. They don’t breath without trying to find a way to make a buck out of it. Imagine living every moment of your life like that?

  36. PinkG says:

    What did she do to her nose? She has permanent flaring nostrils.

  37. WE says:

    i can’t stand to look at her lower lip

    omg

    i hate her, sorry

  38. jwoolman says:

    I feel compelled to say something nice about Kim. She actually looks good in this picture.

    Meanwhile – if she really is pregnant (still not sure), we can always hope that the big surprise plot line is that she is acting as a surrogate for Khloe… Or at least will get allergic to the baby and hand it over to Khloe within a few weeks after the birth. Khloe will do okay with it, she basically raised her two younger sisters (Mama Ten Percent being a minor league Duggar in that respect).

    • lurker says:

      Acting as a surrogate for something other than financial reasons requires empathy. Methinks that rules KK out…she doesn’t appear to have an altruistic bone in her body (unless she had one implanted…)

  39. Carolyn says:

    The powers that run WW are too protective of their brand to go anywhere near any of the Kartrashians. They choose their spokespeople very carefully.

    This family appeals to a very small portion of the market. The majority despises everything they stand for. WW wouldn’t risk the huge public backlash which would result if they signed her.

    Agree with others, if there is already a Quicktrim lawsuit any of the weight loss companies won’t go anywhere near her or any of her family members either. They’re proving to be a bad investment.

    If anyone from this Klan really is trolling this website…you’re on notice. The party’s over. It’s free to post comments on web blogs. We’re not funding your extravagant lifestyle. We’re all onto you.
