Kim Kardashian got the covers of two tabloids this week, Star and In Touch. I’m going to say that Star’s cover is the worst, just because ELBOW FAT. I’m all for trying to figure out what cosmetic surgery Kim has or has not had, and I’m all for chuckling over her oddly plastic catface, but I guess I have to draw the line somewhere. Here’s my line: I will not criticize Kim’s elbow fat. Because OMG, do not give her a complex about “fat elbows” or she’ll just go in for even more plastic surgery. Enough! As for the reasons why Kim has “elbow fat” (UGH!!!), Star says that Kim has been eating away the pain of her terrible marriage:
On Aug. 4, Kim Kardashian will pass a milestone: marriage to Kanye West for 73 days — one day longer than her disastrous marriage to Kris Humphries. However, those close to the reality star say that the possibility that her union with the rapper will turn out to be another short-lived debacle is greater than anyone thinks!
Kanye’s frequent absences, control issues and stalled career have placed Kim in an increasingly isolated position, and indications are that she’s already miserable…and turning to food as a way to dull the pain.
Only days after their honeymoon, ‘Ye was already back touring in Europe, leaving his wife alone with baby North. Even when the tour went on a two-week hiatus, he continued to stay away, preferring to work on his upcoming album, and Kim has turned to food for comfort. “Before the wedding, when she was happy and trying to lose weight for the occasion, Kim watched what she ate and worked out,” an insider tells Star. “But now she’s stressed and doing the one thing she hates most…losing control of her diet.”
Part of her weight gain is also due to Kanye’s controlling behavior, which includes choosing Kim’s wardrobe and constantly analyzing her body. “Since she doesn’t eat much around him, she ends up indulging in junk food when they’re apart,” the source reveals.
Now, Kim is telling friends that she’s finally had enough. “She has told Kris [Jenner] that she knows marriage takes work,” the insider explains. “but she’s surprised that the honeymoon didn’t last just a little bit longer.”
Sigh… if only they made Spanx for elbows, eh? Here’s my take on all of this: Kim knew what was up. Kanye was barely around before they got married, why would it be any different now that they’re married? And while I think Kim has gained a little weight over the past two months, I think that’s it is far more likely that she was crash-dieting before the wedding so she could fit into her dress, and once the wedding was over, she’s eating normally again. Anyway, I think Kimye is going to last. For at least a year or more.
PS… Time Mag reviewed Kim Kardashian iOS game and they compared it to Dante’s Inferno… like, a fun and addictive Inferno.

“elbow fat”? sigh…
i don’t think she has a “weight issue.” she just refuses to wear clothes that fit her. she’d look way, way better if she dressed in clothes that flattered her size, whatever that happens to be.
I agree. If she would just stop trying to be FASHION FORWARD(!!!!) and focus on actually flattering herself, she would be much better off. I have friends who are models, and it’s maddening that I cant wear the same great clothes that they do. But I cant, and I dont try to defy the laws of physics to make it happen. Accept this reality and move on, Kim!
Spank with a tight and ill fitting dress defeating the purpose of wearing it in the first place. You can see the lines in that dress. I guess she has not a one proper friend who tells her how she really looks.
Kanye doesn’t dress her when he’s not around. All she thinks–a designer outfit, of course it will look good on me. That certainly isnt the case.
That flesh colored tube dress is like, made entirely out of Spanx fabric. Is it their new Spanx Dress?
You’re assuming Kardashian would suddenly have taste and style if she started dressing for her correct size. As she’s never had either, she might well continue parading around in the skanky outfits she’s always worn.
Taste and style is something you’re born with [Audrey Hepburn] or have to work overtime to achieve [Victoria Beckham]. No matter her size, Kardashian will never have either. She’s incapable of it.
No trillion it is a knockoff of a Victorias Secrets dress from 1999.Actually it is not a dress.You can make it into a tube dress.tube skirt or hike it up and make it a short summer dress.You can find pictures of Tyra wearing it and it came in three neutral colors back in the day.It was not made out of that horrible spanx material.
Elbow fat. Really. /side eye.
As for her back, if she didn’t squeeze into clothes 2 sizes too small, she’d look somewhat “normal”.
I agree I would not call her fat, she has a nice looking figure she just wears clothes way too tight or small…she is obviously not a size 2 or 4 or whatever size she claims to be ..what’s the big deal ?!embrace your curves!!!
Oh no she’s fat alright. I’ve never seen fat elbows before and I’ve met a lot of fat people in my life.
I’m wondering if the magazine doctored those elbows. Who has fat elbows?!
The game is ridiculous, and I can’t stop playing. It’s fine if you have the patience to wait for your energy to refill, otherwise you could easily spend a fortune.
I’m currently a D’lister. Next I have to buy a home in Miami. I assume it’s an accurate reflection of what Hollywood is like (photoshoots and groping about on the floor for money and fame…)
did you hear about the tweet from the person at the US department of water or something like that? They accidentally tweeted that they were playing the game … seems someone over there is nuts about it 🙂
EPA – Environmental Protection Agency’s Office of Water. 🙂
AG – yes that was it! I saw the tweets – even one senator (or someone) asking what a Kardashian was — sooo funny!
Ha! It’s probably more exciting than working for the EPA!
oh, no! i wish i worked for the EPA! haha (also, their IT services, including their twitter/FB/etc. are most likely farmed out to private contractors, so this was some IT geek killing some time, haha.)
Your tax dollars at work.
it’s kind of addicting, isn’t it?
I’m A-List btw 😀
Good work!!! I’m currently C list… Need to check as I have another photoshoot lined up!!
Kome on Kimmie. Food=love. The love you never got from your mom.
I think these two will last a bit – I think that they are trying to build a brand like the Beckhams or the Bey and Jay … who knows, it may even work?
I think they’ll stay married for awhile too. Kanye put a lot of work into getting Kim. There is no doubt in my mind that he is going to do whatever it takes to keep her.
Really? I think this is her trying to build support for when she dumps him and it will be all his fault because he was gone all the time. She may have had the idea of brand building at one time but is realizing that Kanye isn’t playing that game. Or he’s too crazy to play it. I don’t know. Regardless, I would be shocked if they were still together at year’s end.
I agree. I get that impression too.
It could go either way for these two.
I just don’t understand why everyone acted like their problems started with the marriage. They started during the PREGNANCY. If you look up photos of them pre-baby, they look HAPPY. BOTH OF THEM ARE SMILING!! (Crazy, right?) But at some point during the pregnancy, it went down hill fast.
Still maintain it’s a ploy by Kim and PMK. Start looking miserable and depressed with photographic proof and once they divorce I see Kim saying Kanye controlled her life and made her just so horribly depressed. Anything to make it look like she’s the victim, not her fault, and to drag Kanye’s name through the ground. I’m sure she encouraged his rants that made a lot of people turn a side eye at him to help lose credibility. And bam, she’s awarded almost full custody.
Wouldn’t they actually have to be together more to build some type of brand? And what exactly would their brand be? They have nothing in common. I don’t even think they have ego in common — he has too much and she too little. He pretends he wants privacy, she lives for the paps. Yeah, just don’t see a brand happening.
What a joke, they’re “together” in name only, they’ll last, easily, because they spend no time together. It hardly counts as a relationship if you’re never together. How hard is it to stay married when you’re on different continents?
Ugh! That tan dress is NOT flattering.
It is THE worst! She should’ve just walked out in her bra (that also looks two sizes too small) and her spanks, that wouldn’t have been as bad.
The tan “dress” looks like full body spanx that is stretched out and obviously not doing its job!
No one in her right mind would leave the privacy of one’s dressing room wearing that.
Kim and her family need professional psychological help. It is disturbing to see them carry on untreated.
Oh and Star, Jessica Simpson doesn’t EARN a billion dollars. But you already know that, presumably.
Her company will earn over 1 Billion dollars next year. Yes, she has designers, just like all fashion houses do, Chanel, Valentino, etc. I am not placing her clothing in the same league, just stating that with her name recognition, the Jessica Simpson brand has done exceeedingly well.
I have a pair of her sunglasses. Really cute aviators that I bought at Ross!
It isn’t her company. It is Camuto. She sold them use of her name for the line. That’s it.
@kate So what? Every celebrity brand works that way.
The point being she’s NOT raking in $1B.
I have one of her handbags…I love it!
Yes she does!
Yikes! I wonder what Kim would look like if she wore normal clothes, like the rest of us. Perhaps she would always stand out in a crowd, but she shows almost everything and who wouldn’t pay for the circus? Her body is freaky. I wonder what men think of it – my son thinks it’s nasty.
As a not straight chick, I can tell you that a) your son isn’t going to tell you what he really thinks any more than he’s going to take you on his tour of favourite porn videos and b) she’s definitely doable.
Not-straight chick here and I wouldn’t do her with someone else’s dildo. She is vile.
Crooked chick here and the only thing fitting to put inside of her would be the end of a plunger.
My husband thinks she’s vile. And he has no hesitation telling me who he finds hot, which is almost everyone else. She’s too plastic, she was cute pre-cosmetic procedures but now she’s icky.
Dude here who finds nothing attractive about her. Looks like a clown with her plastic face and fake ass.
She looks really good when she’s wearing jeans and t-shirt and no make-up.
Oy. That tan dress reminds me of a cheap, ill-fitting couch cover. GURL!
WHAT is up with that outfit?
how horrible does she look in that?
i can’t figure out how she’d go out in public looking like that….
it’s gotta be some heavy duty delusional drugs…seriously…meds that make one think everything is lovely and beautiful…geez…
That poor dress looks like it’s trying to contain some bowling balls, and is failing, hard.
It looks like she sprained her body and is in an Ace Bandage.
Omg..this comment is the best one..lol
She’s as thick as her ass.
The picture of her in that beige tube sock will never get old.
Is it me or did she steal Kourtney’s face?
Yes.
And yes! She definitely looks like her sister in the inTouch picture.
JWoww up there in the corner on this issue. Ehhhhhhhhhhhhhh what has she done to her face?
The last picture in the tan dress – everything is wrong with it. She cannot dress to save her life. She wears clothes that are 7 times too small for her body and thinks it looks good.
She is the definition of tacky.
how many spanx do u think is under there?
Is this really a surprise to anyone? This marriage was/is a joke and everyone knows it. PMK will time it, and stretch the inevitable break up out to fill another season of KUWTK. All a bunch of soulless money grabbing idiots. I only feel sorry for baby Nori who was probably conceived for the purpose of being a storyline. Sad, and it makes you almost want to whisk her away from these people so she can have a normal childhood and life.
That bloody tube dress! UGH! Anyway, Star’s “source” sounds like Kris Humphries. LOL!
The “fat” looks like it was photoshopped by a 5 year old.
I think it was photoshopped too. Kim doesnt flatter herself with her clothes, for sure…but I call BS on that particular photo
Even at my fittest I have elbow and back bits.
Me too. Back fat blows.
See I think Kim is fine with Kanye not around. She wants to be around her mother, her sisters, and her friends not her husband. This is the perfect marriage for both. They get exposure for marrying the other while not having to be around each other. Not judging either – different strokes and all.
PS – I did not leave Nori out by accident.
Who the hell walks around during the day dressed like that?
i’m just so happy about the Star magazine cover because i know she don’t have problem with her weight but she focuse so much on that . VLAN ! in her fucking face
Actually, I think that kind of weight tyranny is bad for all of us. It contributes to a discourse of self-loathing among women. Not something to cheer over.
Normally I would agree but in this case, Kim deserves it. All she ever does is put herself out there as an object, if she gets criticized as an object, boo-hoo. Her entire career is based on people talking about her, good and bad, she’ll take the fat elbows with the thin, and like it. She is the poster child for self-obsession, vanity, and an empty existence, whatever criticism she receives is well earned.
Good one Bob.She just ask’s for it.Did anyone see her in the grey bikini on the DM?First of all who would take a picture like that?And second of all it is photoshopped to death.She has to be getting paid for all these ridiculous selfies.There is no other explanation.
Whether or not you think she “deserves” it, the rest of us (women specifically) are still subject to the discourse this cover is a part of.
I can’t believe that cover pointing to her fat. I actually feel sorry for her, and I can’t stand her. What a dehumanizing, cruel and insane article, berating a woman for having an inch of fat on her back and her elbow. Why do we accept this? Nobody deserves that, or this message that we can and should be held up to ridicule for having the slightest imperfection in our bodies. Because looking perfect is the only reason we have a right to exist. Ugh.
I know, it’s sick! And the photo of her eating is so beyond low.
I really detest Kim but I have to agree with you, that cover took it way too far. Thanks Star, making me feel sympathetic towards a Kardashian.
Let’s see if I can word it right.
I do not like her at all, I think she is ridiculous, but this is her body type regardless of the huge implants, she’s short and stocky, not slim by nature. KW’s last GF, Amber Rose, has a body like this, exuberant, defined waist… and not slim arms or legs.
I do not know about Amber, but her body looks “realer”, or better than Kim’s. Kim’s legs seem too thin in comparison to her truck butt.
..
What is bad, is calling KK for her back and arm fat… this kind of body shaming that promotes eating disorders.
..
KK is already ridiculous for a lot of things, her instagramming and photoshopping her body for self promotion, her strutting 5 times a day with different outfits that are too small for her, her makeup, her (or Kanye’s) bad sense of style, her whole family, but her size, her back fat and arms are not.
I agree. Don’t get me wrong, I make fun of her shallowness and vanity all the time, but this is just too much. There are plenty of legitimate reasons to dislike her, but have “elbow fat” for god’s sake, isn’t one of them.
@ennie – the difference between Amber Rose’s body and Kim’s is that Amber works hard for her figure.. Kim went the lazy way and had lipo and yo yo diets.
Kim is part of the problem, so it’s hard to feel sympathy. She sells perfection, and she does it by butchering her body, photoshopping every pic, and taking pics in as few clothes as possible. I find women like her and Jessica very culpable for perpetuating the b!mbo look and then complaining when someone critiques the figures that they would have no career without.
As ye sow, so shall ye reap. Call me cold-hearted but she gets no sympathy from me. First off, the thing is probably photo-shopped. Second off, who cares if you have fat elbows. Third off, she is a superficial, shallow, self-centered moron, whose entire existence is wrapped up in being photographed and rearranging her face. Body-shaming is bad but Kim is the very worst person in the world to hold up as a victim since she gleefully engages in extensive exposure and body dysmorphia. Don’t want to be criticized for fat elbows? Don’t base you entire existence on daily photos of your ever increasing ass.
Another good one Bob.She is no victim at all.Every move she makes is calculated.
And any publicity is good publicity for these people. I think they love articles like this because folks come out to defend her. She probably photoshopped it herself and sent it in.
it’s not the first time one of her marriages sucks.
She needs to leave artificial fibres and spandex spanx alone
I always think she must permanently smell of a cross between a sweaty sports shoe and a yeast infection.
I don’t think she ever fully lost all the weight period but I do think the magazines and paps and of course herself photoshop. Its all part of the deal they have where they all get a cut.. We all know that the word is everyone gets a cut that prints favourably.
I also believe that her and Rob both have always wanted weight loss deals.
There is many a pic out there not used that shows Kim’s actual body and its far different then what the covers or her herself prints.. All fake as is that marriage definitely over in a year.
Guess who just scheduled her next Doctors appointment!? This will be the last time we see her with elbow fat…probably back fat too. They really did get it all wrong. ..she love NOTHING more than herself. Period. Food can take a backseat with the baby.
Nah, it isn’t going anywhere. It’s isn’t “fat” but pressure from the bands of her too-small clothing trying to squeeze her in. She’ll always look like she has a problem as long as she refuses to dress in size-appropriate garments (foundation and outer).
What will she be like in ten years, and will anyone care?
She did not pack on 22lbs! What the hell is wrong with tabloids. She is 5’3. Do they have any idea how much 22lbs is to a short person?! Her face would be bloated at that point. That being said her entire family needs to come to grips with their ages. She’d look fine if she wasn’t dressing like an 18 year old girl trying to get into clubs.
Mia -she is shorter than 5’3, I think in reality she more like 5’1. My friend who is like 5’4″ said she towered over her when she saw KK at a gym with Humphries. And she was mean too and Humphries was always taking her to task for it. KanYe is only like 5’6 or 5-7 so he is a short too.
I hope your friend reminded Kim that she’s no more than a walking urinal and should be thankful anyone wanted to use the same equipment as her without drowning it in disinfectant.
Love it.I am sure it was easy to be mean to someone you didn’t really love or care about and it was all for show.She is a vile woman and I can not believe other people are sticking up for her on this site.I believe she was human at one point but she turned that page a long time ago.
OH MY GOD…that tan dress!! *shutters
I do think it is funny how she has no sympathy or empathy for her brother gaining weight even though she and a few or her sisters have had weight issues of their own. I’m not meaning to shame any of them but all of the girls seem so obsessed with their looks they hate their brother because he isn’t. Clearly Rob has big issues but so does Kim the only difference is she goes to the get plastic surgery any time something if off. And of course she has the paps photoshop all of her photos. The only time we saw real photos of her were on DM in that yellow swimsuit.
THIS!
Saw those too and they were not kind.I love the fact after she saw them she had her fake paps come in and take more flattering pictures.How stupid does she think we are?
I agree with others above, her family comes first relationship with husband and or baby is a far distant second. She is far too emmeshed with her family. You saw what happened with Kris Humphries (am I the only one who felt sorry for the guy?)
No, count me in, he was deceived – to an extent (he should have probably known what he was getting into…)
I felt bad for him too, he was a patsy, he got used.
I felt bad for Him too!
Wow….the tabs are really hitting below the belt when they start criticizing elbow fat! WTF
To be fair- fer cryin’ out loud- the “fat rolls” on the cover are photoshopped, and badly at that.
Also, what a misogynistic society that we even HAVE discussions, diagrams pointing out “elbow fat,” even for someone as vacuous and superficial as Kim Kardashian. Ish like this depresses me.
Could this be any more predictable? We all said after the wedding and honeymoon there would be rumors of a “bad marriage” and making Kim look like a poor little victim. Please, for all we know PMK and Kim are the ones putting these stories out there. They want to keep their show going, ratings are down and they are desperate.
There was a blind gossip item about some gal that was going to be “depressed”, gain a bunch of weight…she already started eating… (shades of her brother for real) so she could lose it all (for money) and the ATTENTION. Guess it was old Kim, after all. Kim just wants the idea of being married and the wedding. The idea of being a wife and the work of being married and a partner…forget about it.
I caught a few minutes of their show, probably a repeat…where they are on vacation and doing a zip-line. Kim stole a Kate Gosselin move…freak-out and tears. Wonder if she knows how her face looks like when she does that? ghoulish.
I see another spin off show…Kim and Rob losing weight together…the drama, the jealousy, the rage !
You know – accumulation of fat in the elbows or back or any other area where it’s typically not supposed to appear is just a side-effect of excessive lipo.
she has lipo’d every major part of her body, therefore the fat that was normally in her tights, stomach etc. now returns in other parts of the body…this sometimes happens with lipo. other matter is, that the article is just plain nasty, even to shame a kardashian…
@Silvia-you are correct. Fat comes back in odd places after lipo sometimes. Honestly, KK has always been very curvy, and why she insists on going out in tan full-body condoms/sausage casing is beyond me. Who the hell told her that dress looked good? I wouldn’t let my friend/sister wear that crap. It’s ugly and would look good on no one. I like curvy bodies. Why doesn’t she just own it and dress to flatter herself.
+1, Good point!
just like the huge moobs of Simon Cowell.
I’m surprised that nobody has been smart enough to see that the picture was photo-shopped,
Look at the smooth curve of the flab areas and perhaps you will realize that skin doesn’t curve smoothly unless you smooth it out with a photo-fix palette. To make the dimples and actual fold of skin takes forever to do.
Isn’t it a waste of time to comment on a fake photo?
Or is it in some way fulfilling being played for a fool?
I’m not passing judgment, just asking?
I just had a change of heart and so I apologize, it’s not my place to be critical of how an individual derive THEIR pleasure, so I take back my question and statement.
I am still just having a hard time figuring out this gossip protocol, I tend to look at thinks in a more logic versus a suspension of disbelief way, I promise to do better as time goes by.
I agree with everything in your first post. No reason to apologize for anything. Be like Kim in that way, just shrug your shoulders and move on! I think their stars on the decline because people are sick to death of seeing these non-talented people making a humongous amount of money for basically nothing. Yesterday on WW she was speaking to Kendall not only deciding to stay off KUWTK but also rejecting the idea that she and Kylie needed their own show and Wendy said oh good – one down and only ten more to go! The audience roared with laughter and applauded like mad.
More like Nature abhors a vacuum.
Again????
Kim Kardashian marriage to Kanye a mistake?
But, it hasn’r been 72 days yet.
Fat is not bad. Fat is normal and healthy. Star magazine can shoot itself in the byline for implying there’s anything wrong with this woman’s body. Criticize what’s in her brain if you like, but she has a glorious figure.
No she doesn’t, she had a nice figure before she started altering herself and now she’s an augmented freak show and disaster zone. She could look nice again if she stopped with the injections and removed the implants but we all know that won’t happen.
Doing so would mean she is a liar.We all know it anyway .
How can they stand each other? How can they stand themselves? Accusing her of elbow fat will drive her crazy. Watch for mysteriously reduced fat.
After giving her brother so much crap about his weight, I hope she gains 100 pounds! She sure has the genes for it.
All aboard the caboose watch!
My 2 cents is that ppl hate Kanye. He’s sliding into insanity. The ‘trashians were counting on someone wildly popular for KK to coattail. Turns out, he’s just as obnoxious and unlikeable as they are. They’ve probably found another black guy to replace him already.
She’s not too depressed to work out. She’s never really been a workout type, she just goes to a gym for photo ops. If she needs exercise, she could introduce herself to Nori and replace the nanny for a while. Lifting and running after a baby that age burns plenty of calories.
I vote to let her eat what she wants anyway. Anybody would look fat in clothes that are too tight, if she dressed properly she would look fine.
She’s not pretty to me. Too much weave (yes, that is a straight up weave or wig) too much make up. Too much everything. Her un photo shop Kim is Chubby. Not fat but chubby. Plus she looks almost identical to Kris Jenner. Nothing attractive about that.
Who would want to look like Kris?And yes you are right Kim does now.I never understood how Kris got all these men.She must be very charming and some wild piece in bed.I remember her old infomercials with Bruce for work out equipment years ago.She does not look the same at all.I was like you went from Linda Thompson to this?At least Linda still looks the same and everyone speaks very kindly of her.Brody looks just like her.
I truly have never seen anyone in pictures who has such dead eyes as this woman. Eyes are the windows to the soul.
I think Kanye is so crazy and annoying with all his talk of genius, self described, and his failing career he doesn’t seem to notice because he’s geniusing all over the place that she’s relieved he’s hanging out in Paris with his boyfriend and leaving her and Norphan alone with the help. He’s like a baby daddy at this point. Listen, she couldn’t stand to be alone with Kanye in Ireland for more than 2 days, what does that tell you? He’s only interested in her because she won’t take his money and is an earner, she thought he could legitimize her. Both of them are disappointed. They aren’t going to move in to the house they are building, they are going to flip it. They will never live together but I do think they will stay married for a while, because he needs a beard and she’s hoping for that legitimizing thing to happen for her, which she’ll never see in this lifetime. Her clock is ticking. Diet pills that don’t work and hair products that don’t work – and a dubious app aren’t going to keep her famous forever. May they all crash and burn.
