Rob “Prefontaine” Kardashian continues to provide much amusement for those who are waiting for the inevitable Kardashian fall from power. Seriously, it will happen, and the avalanche will begin with the crumbling of Rob’s “sock empire.” We’ll get to that in a moment, but I really do think that he’s the weak link in the entire family. Only he would admit something as embarrassing as how he cries over his tiny wang, and I think the ultimate Kode of the Kardashians holds that one should never admit to the ridiculous aspects of their existence. Like, we all know that Kim has ass implants, but she’ll never admit it. If Rob had them? He’s tell us all about it just like he whined about gaining 40 pounds in 2 months.

For the moment though, the denial is still strong for Rob Kardashian’s adventure into sock designing. Every time I write about this guy, I wonder exactly what kind of person would decide to focus upon “socks” as a staple of their creative work. And these are some really damn ugly socks, right? These are socks that someone would buy as a gag gift for Father’s Day, or maybe you’d see them at a bachelor party. It turns out that nobody is buying these damn socks from Neiman Marcus except as gag gifts — an employee has admitted as much to Radar, and Neiman Marcus (at the urging of Kris Jenner, no doubt) is attempting to do damage control now:

Rob Kardashian‘s foot-inspired foray into fashion could be coming to an end.

The Keeping Up with the Kardashians star’s high-priced “Arthur George by Rob Kardashian” line of socks is poised to be dumped from Neiman Marcus stores if stagnant sales don’t improve, RadarOnline.com has learned.

“Rob’s socks sold around the Christmas holiday, but since then no one has been really buying them,’ a source at the Neiman Marcus store in Beverly Hills said.

“We actually had to ship a bunch out to other stores because they weren’t moving at all. To be honest, a lot of customers bought them more as a gag gift. At this point it doesn’t look like we’re going order anymore.”

The 26-year-old wannabe fashionista launched his pricey footwear at $30 per item — the busy patterned line includes the Camo, Graffiti and Swirls — and are sold exclusively at luxury specialty department store Neiman Marcus.

In a statement, Neiman Marcus defended Arthur George by Robert Kardashian, saying it was “one of the best selling in the men’s sock category” at the store.

“It is common practice to send inventory above projected demand to a store in advance of a personal appearance,” Ginger Reeder, Vice President of Corporate Communications, told RadarOnline.com. “We then redistribute the excess to other stores after the appearance. The Arthur George by Robert Kardashian sock line has proven to be very popular with our customers.

“Currently we are carrying the socks in all 41 Neiman Marcus stores as well as at neimanmarcus.com, have just placed a large reorder in anticipation of Father’s Day and have a personal appearance with Rob scheduled next month in our Las Vegas store. In addition, we have several personal appearances scheduled for the fall.”

Damn, $30 dollars per pair really is an outrageous sales price for these tacky ass socks. I would honestly expect to find them in the $5 dollars for 2 pair bin at Target during the holiday season when everything is expected to be gaudy. Even the fake reindeer next to the display doesn’t know what’s going on with these damn socks. At least Rob didn’t aim too high, but this will still be a fall for him when the socks finally get yanked from Neiman Marcus.

Here are some photos of Rob this month in London and Los Angeles. The dude has absolutely no sense of style at all, and I think that his dream of expanding into designing boxers and pajamas is going to flop just as badly as these awful socks.

These are photos from a few weeks ago (that I’ve sort of been dying to use but needed an excuse) of Rob “Prefontaine” Kardashian prowling London with his new lady, Naza Jafarian, about a week after we covered his alleged escort fetish, which was supposedly a way to trick himself out of missing Rita Ora. This kid is such a mess, isn’t he? And his girlfriend looks to be very fond of heavy-handed makeup application.

The weirdness doesn’t end there because Rob has spoken with Ryan Seacrest as part of a Kardashian Klan special, and god only knows what possessed him to talk about how sad he is about his vanishing wang. Say what? Well Rob calmly explains that his recent weight gain (40 pounds in 2 months) presents another challenge besides the obvious health and image considerations. That is, Rob says that his little Kardashian looks much smaller now since he’s a bigger guy. Hey, dudes out there … is this a thing? I would think that wangs don’t exactly “disappear” unless one gains a great amount of weight, say, in the hundreds of pounds. Also, I can’t believe Rob is actually admitting this to poor Ryan Seacrest. This has got to be one of the weirdest interviews Seacrest has ever had the misfortune of conducting. Here we go:

Rob Kardashian isn’t keeping up with the slim and fit physiques of his sisters.

On last night’s E! News special “Ryan Seacrest with the Kardashians” Rob revealed the shame he feels about his body after gaining weight. “Every time I hop in the shower and see myself naked I cry,” the 26-year-old reality star told Seacrest. “My p-nis looks so small now.”

The pressure of being part of a beautiful family that is under the media spotlight has definitely gotten to him but he still managed to joke about the situation. “The upside is, every time you lose 10 pounds you gain an inch on your p-nis,” he added.

Aside from his battle with weight the young Kardashian has seriously struggled with finding the same level of fame as his sisters. “There’s a lot of haters in the world,” he confessed.

Launching the sock line Arthur George has given Rob individuality from the reality show pigeon hole he often finds himself in. “I really like socks,” he explained. “Now that’s turning into boxers and pajamas. I’m excited to have a niche.”

While he continues searching for his rightful place in the world among a star-filled family Rob said thrives on the support he receives from his entrepreneurial mom Kris. “Four in the morning is when she starts,” he boasted.

[From E! Online]

Somehow, I’m not surprised to learn that Kris Jenner is raring to go at 4:00 am. She’s probably just putting down the bottle at that point, so why not just keep going? At that hour, she has plenty of time to practice cheering for sock patterns designed by Rob. I guess we should congratulate him on expanding into boxers and pajamas at some point? Nah.

While I feel bad for laughing at Rob for his admission, I have to wonder what his motivations are in revealing this information. Surely, he must have a point unless he’s truly that dumb to not consider that he’s telling the entire world about his size issue. I wonder what Naza Jafarian thinks of her boyfriend’s “tiny little wang” confession. Maybe she just loves him for his personality and amazing sock designing skills. Or maybe not.

These are photos of Rob Kardashian and Lamar Odom out on the town last weekend while hitting the clubs. Rob looks to be his usual annoying self while wearing all black (it’s so slimming) to keep up the ruse of his self-proclaimed 7 pounds per week weight loss after he gained 40 pounds in 2 months after a very dramatic breakup with Rita Ora. Mind you, I’m not making fun of Rob because he gained weight during the winter of his douchey discontent. I’m just saying that if he’s anything like his sister Kim (and he is, minus the inexplicable success), he might have a problem with numbers. Also, he seems to be annoying Lamar quite a bit by shoving his hands in the dude’s face. How annoying.

However, I’m wondering if Rob was already drunk before he started clubbing that night because there’s a new story in this week’s Star that claims Rob is still really upset over losing Rita, and he’s drowning his sorrows in liquor and call girls. That sounds about right, doesn’t it?

Still reeling from his break up with Rita Ora, broken hearted Rob Kardashian has been finding comfort at the bottom of a bottle and in the company of a call girl, according to a bombshell new report in Star magazine.

The sexy blonde escort shared her story – and texts between her and Kardashian – exclusively with Star, giving a full critique of Rob’s bedroom skills along with her account of his heavy boozing and partying.

Not surprisingly, the Kardashian family is said to be concerned about the 26-year-old’s carousing, which is reportedly spiraling out of control.

“Rob is a complete mess. He drinks like a fish, starting in the afternoon and going all night long,” a source tells Star. “Even worse, he’s hooking up with paid escorts, and his business is tanking.”

Mom Kris Jenner and sister Khloe Kardashian have tried to talk sense into Rob since his recent boozy birthday night with Lamar Odom at Hollywood’s Greystone Manor, but their pleas have fallen on deaf ears, according to Star.

The reality star got his heart broken late last year after learning that Ora had cheated on him, although she claimed she never thought of them as being in a relationship or as “boyfriend, girlfriend.”

The romantic rebuttal reportedly sent Rob over the edge, sparking a cycle of drinking and sexcapades, as well as a 40 pound weight gain which he is now desperately trying to lose by joining rapper The Game in his “60 Days of Fitness” exercise plan.

[From Radar Online]

I have no problem with believing that Rob would hire escorts in an effort to forget how his woman done him wrong. Such a tactic probably makes him feel powerful, and I honestly wouldn’t be surprised if he spends half the time moaning about Rita instead of doing the sexy. As for “Rob’s bedroom skills,” I hope Star doesn’t go into any huge detail when the full story arrives. Gross.

On another note, I think that Rob’s woes over his “business tanking” should be a red flag that perhaps designing socks (and socks only) is not the key to the professional universe. What a shocker.

I generally consider it a slow news day whenever we’re covering Rob Kardashian, and this case is no exception. Mostly, I wanted to cover these ridiculous photos of Rob with Kris Jenner from Saturday evening while they promoted Rob’s latest sock line in Vegas. Because sock designing is an actual profession or something, and Rob’s line is called “Arthur George by Robert Kardashian” socks. Aren’t these the most hideous socks that you’ve ever seen in your life? They’re much worse than dirty, never washed white socks. Look at how excited Kris looks about these socks. She’ll try to sell anything!

Meanwhile, Rob has been looking to lose that extra poundage he’s been carrying around for awhile. If you’ll remember, he claimed to have gained 40 pounds in 2 months (after his messy breakup with Rita Ora), and he’s apparently trying to lose the weight as quickly as he gained it. Remember though, this is also the guy who unironically likened himself to Steve Prefontaine a few months ago, so it’s no surprise that his delusions run strong. Neverthless, Rob’s been gym tweeting, and he’s telling Us Weekly about it too:

Rob Kardashian is a man with a plan. The “Keeping Up With the Kardashians” reality star has been documenting his weight loss efforts on Twitter for the past few weeks, and during his birthday party at 1OAK in Las Vegas March 15, the 26-year-old told Us Weekly about his initial results.

“I lost 5 to 7 [pounds] last week. I’m trying to lose 40,” he revealed. “It’s a little journey, but it’s good. . . I’m like 240 right now, probably 235.” Kardashian added that he hopes to reach his goal weight by July 4.

The sock designer said he packed on the pounds by eating “a lot of great food,” and now the single star is adhering to a low-carb diet. His slimdown motivation? “Beautiful women!” Kardashian admitted.

Kardashian isn’t in this alone, as he’s recruited friends to join him during his twice-daily workouts. “We go to do Runyon Canyon in L.A.,” he explained. “I’ll [exercise with] my own trainer at eight in the morning before all that.”

Dancing With the Stars pro Cheryl Burke, who was partnered with Kardashian during the ABC show’s thirteenth season in 2011, has also lent her support. “We’ve started running and doing our own little workout,” Kardashian told Us. “It’s good.”

[From Us Weekly]

Yep, you guys were totally correct. This guy must be angling for a weight-loss endorsement of some sort, but I don’t know how he’ll succeed in scoring a contract if he’s losing weight in such an unsustainable manner. Seven pounds in one week can’t be healthy (although he looks slightly slimmer than he did last month), and Rob will never be able to keep up working out twice per day after he loses the weight that he’s looking to ditch. Still, this misguided quest for a corporate endorsement is much more interesting than, you know, sock designing.

Later Saturday evening, Rob managed to ditch Kris and celebrate his 26th birthday at the Mirage. Talk about a douche patrol crowd if there ever was one, right?

Here are some photos of Rob Kardashian yesterday visiting “Kris Jenner’s office” (I know, right?) while carrying a small, prepackaged meal of some sort and a large bottle of water. Now, the dude has never been a good-looking guy that could stop traffic, but he does look a bit heftier lately. Rob himself has noticed too, which may account for the sudden healthier eating kick. In fact, he claims that he’s gained forty pounds in the past two months since he and Rita Ora broke up. If you’ll remember, that was a very messy breakup with Rob having some form of Twitter meltdown and blaming Rita for sleeping with the whole of England or something. And Rob says that, in the aftermath, he’s gorged himself on crappy food and basically lost his girlish figure. I hate to pick on anyone for their weight, but this couldn’t have happened to a nicer guy.

Is it even possible to gain forty pounds in two months? I can see where it could happen if someone intentionally wants to pack on a lot of muscle and decides to hit the protein shakes and weight-gaining supplement powder pretty hard. Just ask Hugh Jackman. But Rob’s case seems like mindless comfort seeking with a ton of junk food. I suppose he could be telling the truth about forty pounds. Here are the details of Rob’s weight gain:

Rob Kardashian stepped out in Los Angeles yesterday (Feb. 19) after revealing he’s packed on 40 pounds since splitting with Rita Ora in Dec. 2012 on the latest episode of “Kourtney & Kim Take Miami.”

The 25-year-old admitted that he hadn’t been taking care of his body during or after his romance with 22-year-old Ora, confessing his love of comfort food and random sex on the Feb. 17 episode.

“All I did was waste a lot of money and gain 40 pounds,” Rob told his sisters over dinner. “I need to focus on me. That’s all I wanna be about.”

“Rob got out of a really weird relationship. They were actually together for about a year but Rob was never allowed to admit that they were actually an item,” Khloe explained during the show. “Because she’s in the entertainment industry, she wanted to present herself to the world as a single girl. I think Rob got really depressed through this relationship.”

Rob, who famously lost a ton of weight while competing on “Dancing With The Stars” in 2011, wants to get back in the gym and try his best to move on from Ora.

Addressing his tweets about her their breakup (in which he claimed Ora cheated on him multiple times), Rob said, “I posted what I posted to keep myself from taking her back. Every time she messed up, I took her back for over a year now. I just had to do that to make her hate me.”

But as Khloe said, “The best form of revenge is a good body!”

[From HuffPo]

I love Rob’s explanation of how he only tweeted that Rita cheated on him with 20 men as a means of ensuring that he’d never take her back. I mean, there’s no real reason why she went out with him in the first place, but I honestly doubt it was a case of them continually breaking up and him “taking her back” because she begged for it. Bitch, please.

These photos show Rob back in early October of last year. He wasn’t exactly ripped back then, but he’s definitely gained weight in the past few months.

Out of all the Kardashians, I find myself irritated the most with Rob Kardashian, who truly (more than the rest of them) seems to do nothing to earn his keep. Don’t even tell me that “sock designer” qualifies as a true occupation either. All I really know for sure is that Rob spends most of his life doing vapid things and uses Twitter for evil; although he does have a noted habit of deleting most of his tweets, he famously used the social media platform to attack ex-girlfriend Rita Ora a few months ago. Interestingly enough, Rita just gave an interview in which she plays the “shoot, shag, or marry” game, and “I would marry Robert De Niro, I would shag Robert Pattinson and I would definitely, definitely, shoot Rob Kardashian.” So there’s no love lost there on either end.

For whatever reason, Us Weekly chose to profile Rob in their “25 things” feature. This guy couldn’t be more self-absorbed, and I find it interesting that everything he says refers to the aesthetic, and he seems to have no concept of a world outside his little bubble. Even when he’s given the chance to say he’d like to step into the life of someone else for a day, he doesn’t choose someone like Ghandi; he just wants to be a guy from Arcade Fire. Well, at least he’s honest, right?

[From Us Weekly]

Oh Rob. So many contradictions, starting with the admission about not working out for over two years to expressing enthusiasm for running an “easy” 10 miles. That’s a nice self-comparison to Steve Prefontaine, btw. Douche.

That bit about the lemonade and tonsilitis is really weird. While it’s true that an excess of acidic beverages can irritate the throat, I have to wonder if “lemonade” is some sort of drug slang in Rob’s case. All along, there have been buzzings (verifiable or not) that drug parties are not off limits for him. Somehow, he graduated from college, but I suspect that he coasted through on his father’s name.

I am vaguely aware of Rob Kardashian (Jr.) as one of the peripheral members of the “Keeping Up with the Kardashians” reality show of doom. Yeah, I’ll admit to having an episode or two on in the background at some point while drinking too much cheap red wine; and Rob, well, he’s definitely not the brightest member of the family, which is saying something because (collectively speaking) their vapidity knows no bounds.

Rob’s been working hard to further secure his status as (quite possibly) the least classy Kardashian sibling though. For the past few months, the guy’s been dating Rita Ora (a.k.a., “Rihanna Lite”), and their world was one of fleeting bliss and sweet twitpics posted to Rob’s Twitter page. Now, it’s all over as soon as it began, and Rob has been tweeting such sweet nothings as “She cheated on me with nearly 20 dudes while we were together, I wonder how many she will sleep with now that we are apart.” Sounds like someone’s a little bit bitter about gettig dumped, right?

Kris Humphries isn’t the only one who’s found it tough keeping up with the Kardashians.

Rita Ora and Rob Kardashian have broken up.

The couple called time on their relationship last week after struggling to juggle work schedules.

And in the 2012 version of chucking out a couple of mix tapes, Rob has now unfollowed the singer on Twitter and deleted all of his tweets and pictures on Instagram relating to his ex-missus.

A source said: “It’s really sad – they really liked each other but with him living in LA and her over in London, it was becoming impossible to maintain a relationship.

“They’d only decided to go public with the romance a couple of months ago so as not to put any pressure on themselves but they’ve already split. Rob has now deleted everything on Twitter that reminds him of Rita.”

The reality star was due to fly over for Rita’s birthday bash at London’s DSTRKT nightclub last week. But after serious talks, the pair decided it was better to call it a day. All of the Kardashians have rallied round Rob – with none of the family texting or tweeting Rita to wish her a happy birthday.

[From The Sun]

Luckily, there is one Kardashian who is willing to step up and tell Rob that he’s acting like a douche. Khloe took to her own Twitter account to chime in, “Rob be nice kiddddd. Social media is so much drama. Hehehe thank goodness there was no social media when I was younger. Too much drama in the LBC.” Poor Khloe just doesn’t fit in with the rest of this family, right? And she’s trying in vain to educate a brother whose only vague measure of success lies within his own designer sock line.

Doesn’t Rita look so much like Rihanna? Apparently, they even share the same bad taste in men.

Full Picture is linked from this one *shudder*

It’s your son’s birthday and you’re somewhat famous. To wish him a happy birthday publicly do you A) Post a cute picture of him as a baby or a child, maybe a photo of him at a christening or early birthday or B) Post a photo of yourself topless and pregnant with him, while clutching your naked breasts? If you’re Kris Jenner, we already know the answer to that one. We also have an even more egregious example of how the Kardashian girls (ok Kim, I’m talking about Kim) turned out the way they did. So this is what Kris did to wish her son Rob a happy 25th birthday, she made it all about her. To be fair to this fameho’, Kris did include some photos of baby Rob in her happy birthday post to him on her blog, she just made the header photo one of herself, because she’s the one who matters on her son’s birthday. Here’s what she wrote, and you can see this on her blog here:

“Happy 25th birthday to my wonderful, handsome son, Rob!! Rob, you are the best son a mother could ask for and you make me proud every day. I love you so much!!”

Well at least she didn’t post photos or video from his birth. Hand to God, Sting’s wife Trudie Styler “allegedly” did this to her son at his 21st birthday party, she put in his birth video for everyone at the party to watch. A witness said “everyone was totally shocked and just didn’t know where to look when Trudie put the video on. It was very graphic and rather gruesome. Poor Jake turned bright red. It was certainly the most talked about part of the evening.” I believe it, because that’s not the type of gossip that people could think up without it actually happening. Who would imagine that a mom would be clueless enough to do that to her adult son? The same could be said for this pregnant nekkid photo of Kris Jenner. She probably saw Jessica Simpson’s pregnant Elle photo and thought “I used to look better than that, what better occasion to show off my former pregnant physique than my son’s birthday? I’m sure he’ll be touched, since he was the fetus inside me when I used to be so hot.”

J.R. Martinez and his partner, Karina Smirnoff, took home the mirror ball trophy on last night’s Dancing with the Stars finale! Martinez, a wounded Iraqi war vet turned soap star, won the public over with his personality, compelling story and incredibly coordinated moves. Coming in second was Kim Kardashian’s little brother, Rob, who improved immensely this season and earned perfect scores from the judges on Monday. Ricki Lake and her partner Derek Hough were a close third.

After a topsy-turvy season of sore ankles and even sorer losers, Dancing with the Stars ended Tuesday night by pitting an unlikely frontrunner against a heroic survivor.

After Ricki Lake, 43, was eliminated earlier in the show, Rob Kardashian, 24, the reality TV brother often overshadowed by his famous – and infamous – older sisters went against J.R. Martinez, 28, the soldier-turned-actor whose triumph over severe burns received in Iraq brought raw emotion to the ballroom.

For their final dance, a samba which both couples had to choreograph on the fly, each earned perfect scores, leaving Kardashian with a one point lead after two nights of competition. But the judges’ scores make up only half the final results. Once the viewers’ votes were tabulated, the winner was determined. Keep reading to find out who won:

It was J.R. Martinez and Karina Smirnoff!

Smirnoff covered her face and began crying when she heard the news.

“First and foremost, I want to thank everyone who voted for us for 10 weeks,” Martinez said. “Thank you, America, for believing in us.”

Then he addressed his dance partner, telling Karina, “You are amazing, and I’m so grateful I was able to be a part of your first mirror-ball trophy.”

When he was awarded his mirror-ball trophy, Martinez hoisted it high above his head as confetti rained down.

Runner-up Rob Kardashian, who was paired with Cheryl Burke, echoed Martinez’s celebratory sentiments. “I’m super thankful,” he said, after the results were announced. “This is such a crazy experience. I’m definitely not sad. I won in my book.”

[From People]

I’m really happy for J.R. I’ve only seen a few episodes this season, but I found the guy so likable and he’s definitely the best dancer. It’s surprising because usually the best dancers are athletes who are necessarily more attuned to their bodies, but he’s a soldier, a motivational speaker and an actor. His website reveals that he nearly played professional football coming out of high school, but that he suffered an injury in his senior year and ended up enlisting in the army instead. Congratulations to J.R. and Karina!
