Kim Kardashian gets punched for charity (update: black eye pics)

40666441

If only I had a lot of extra cash. I’d donate it to a good cause. And by “donate,” I mean bid it all away for a chance to beat the crap out of a Kardashian. For a good cause though. So it’s okay. The entire Kardashian clan offered up their services – well, their faces – to benefit the Dream Foundation, whose mission “is to enhance the quality of life for individuals and their families who are battling life-limiting illness.” The high bidders got to box the Kardashian (or close Kardashian step-relative or baby daddy) closest to their size, and of the same gender.

Unfortunately 22-year-old baby brother Rob got the crap beaten out of him, and landed in the hospital with a concussion. That put a serious damper on the whole event. The other Kardashians who were scheduled to fight backed out after that, with the exception of Kim and her stepfather Bruce Jenner (proud father of Brody). But Kim was still livid.

Kim Kardashian’s a knockout. Literally. The reality TV star put her good looks on the line on Tuesday in a charity boxing match – and one female fan laid a blow right on Kim Kardashian’s kisser, according to the U.K.’s Daily Mail. The buxom beauty stepped into the ring dressed in head-to-toe pink Everlast gear, but she was soon bested by her opponent, who was the highest bidder in an auction benefiting The Dream Foundation at the Commerce Casino in Commerce, California.

“The event itself was absolutely insane!!” Kardashian wrote on her blog. “We literally had three days of training to prepare for the event and thought it would be a little bit of fun to raise money for one of our favorite charities. We didn’t expect what happened.” Despite gamely facing her fears in the end, the 29-year-old socialite almost canceled her match after her younger brother, Rob, was KO’ed in an earlier fight.

“When Rob stepped in the ring to fight, his opponent was at least 25 lbs heavier than him, even though the organization had assured us that they were screening the people we were fighting against,” Kardashian wrote. “At one point Rob’s mask fell off and when he put his hands down he got hit in the face and ended up in hospital with a concussion. This guy just got really down and dirty!” When her 22-year-old bro was floored in a barrage of jabs in the first round, Kim reportedly jumped into his corner and demanded the bout be stopped, claiming the larger opponent was going too hard on him.

That left Kim as the only “Keeping Up With the Kardashians” member to rumble in the ring, although family members including stepfather Bruce Jenner, mother Kris, sisters Khloe and Kourtney, and Kourtney’s boyfriend Scott Disick, cheered her on in the audience.

“We were all really angry and upset about what had happened to Rob, but I hadn’t even fought yet and I didn’t want to let the charity down, so I decided to get in the ring,” Kardashian wrote. “My girl was a good sport, but she was tough!” She added, “At the end of the day, we did this for charity and that’s what counts. “You can try to bring the Kardashians down… but we’re a strong family. A concussion and a black eye can’t hold us down!”

[From the Daily News]

Kim jumped into the corner of the ring and made them stop the fight? Talk about drama. Something tells me that this wasn’t about charity, it was probably being filmed for “Keeping up with the Kardashians.” That’s just my hunch though. I seriously doubt any of the Kardashians – especially Kim, whose livelihood depends on her good looks – would put those good looks in jeopardy for a good cause. Some press though… yeah, probably.

What the Daily News didn’t mention were the chicken Kardashians who were scheduled to fight – and people had bid for – who backed out. Supposedly because of what happened to Rob, but you know they were just itching for a reason. Rob was just the sacrificial lamb. Newlywed Khloe called off her bout – and you know she’d be a fierce opponent. How’d they ever find another female of her height to fight her? So did Kourtney’s baby daddy Scott Disick. I bet anything it was all for their show, since the main star still pulled it together.

The Daily Mail has some awesome Kardiashians-getting-punched photos if you wanna check them out. I’m sorry but when you show up to your boxing match dressed in head-to-toe pink, you deserve whatever you get.

Update: Here’s a picture of the black eye Kim received. Maybe the lighting is poor, but it doesn’t look all that bad to me. Of course I’m not the one who got socked in the eyeball either.

Brandy’s mom explains Kim Kardashian lawsuit

Since the news came out that singer Brandy’s mother, Sonja Norwood, has sued Kim Kardashian and her three siblings for stealing her credit card, I have been truly curious to learn the back-story behind this debacle. Kim apparently was Brandy’s stylist in 2004. I had no idea that Kim Kardashian ever had a job, besides supposedly giving or receiving golden showers (yes I forget the specifics of that rumor and am too afraid too look it up). But Kim did do something professional in her life besides going to parties and showing the world her ass cleavage. But I guess she didn’t do it that well – or at least that ethically – because she stole Sonja Norwood’s credit card, loaned it to her three siblings, and the group managed to run up over $120,000 in debt in 2005 – 2006.

“I did not want to commence litigation against the Kardashian family without conducting an exhaustive investigation into the charges and discussing all options, including criminal prosecution, with my family,” Norwood said in a statement Tuesday.

“After Ray J and Brandy urged me not to file criminal charges because of their prior friendship, I decided to afford the Kardashians an opportunity to resolve this matter without a lawsuit,” Norwood said. “When the fraudulent charges were brought to their attention, they apologized profusely, and advised us, through their attorneys, that they would pay the debt in full. However, they have since reneged on that promise.”

Norwood also said in her statement that her “investigation has revealed that the Kardashians used their two stores [Dash and Smooch] and other stores that I have never visited to take advantage of me. I very much look forward to having the Kardashians account for their misconduct in a court of law.”

[From In Touch]

Sonja Norwood’s statement clears up a few issues, but there are a lot of questions remaining. First off, the card was supposedly given to Kim when she worked for the Norwoods in 2004. Yet the charges occurred several years later. Did Sonja Norwood never get the card back, or did Kim steal the number? Secondly, how did the Kardashians sign for these purchases? Were they actually forging Sonja’s signature, or was Kim an authorized signer on the account? No matter what, how did the other three Kardashians use the card? Why did it take Sonja Norwood so long to notice and/or do anything about the fraudulent charges?

What I’m most eager to hear is the Kardashians’ defense. They have obviously denied any wrongdoing, and Kim has said she has documentation for all the purchases. It seems pretty unusual that Brandy’s mother would have Kim Kardashian – who is no longer her employee – use her credit card. It also seems odd that Norwood would randomly choose to sue the Kardashians if they hadn’t done anything wrong. Although considering their father is the late famed O.J. Simpson defense lawyer Robert Kardashian, I’m sure they’ll be able to come up with some sort of entertaining – if not plausible – defense.

Brandy’s mom sues Kim Kardashian over $120,000 credit card theft

Kim Kardashian has never really done anything that’s made me say, “Wow, that girl’s good with money.” She’s done a lot of things that have made me say, “Wow, that girl’s got an ass that should be on her chest,” but that’s about it. And apparently Kim’s ass cleavage is the biggest thing she’s got going for her, because not only is the girl bad with money, but she’s criminally bad. And when you combine bad fiduciary judgment with a ridiculous love of shopping and access to someone else’s credit card, things can get out of hand. Not for a regular person, but apparently for a Kardashian. In 2004, Kim was singer Brandy’s stylist. Brandy’s mother Sonja Norwood, who is also her daughter’s manager, gave Kim her American Express card to make one purchase for Brandy. Although it remains unclear, somehow Kim kept the card and continued to make personal purchases on it – totaling over $120,000. Not only that, but she lent the card to her two sisters and brothers. They even wracked up purchases at the Kardashian family’s own stores!

R&B singer Brandy Norwood’s mother filed a lawsuit Monday against Kim Kardashian accusing her of running up more than $120,000 in credit card charges without permission.

The suit, which also names Kardashian’s siblings Khloe, Kourtney and Robert Jr., alleges they ran up the charges on the mother’s card in 2006 and 2007. It seeks the return of the money plus 10 percent interest.

Kim Kardashian denied the allegations, telling PEOPLE she and her siblings had Norwood’s permission to make the purchases.

“We have her signature on all items,” Kardashian says.

[From People]

I’m sure she does have signatures for all items. Pretty much all credit card companies require you to sign a receipt. But I’m also pretty sure those signatures aren’t really Sonja Norwood’s, or she wouldn’t be suing the Kardashians I’m assuming that Sonja Norwood didn’t keep close tabs on her credit card statements – and if the debt accrued slowly enough, I suppose it’s possible a wealthy enough person might not notice. Considering Kim hasn’t worked as Brandy’s stylist in several years, I can’t imagine any excuse she could give for using the Norwood’s credit card. It’s a little surprising that no one noticed, but I would imagine they probably figured it out a while ago and made other attempts to get their money back before going for a lawsuit.

Kim wasn’t just Brandy’s stylist – she was also Brandy’s brother Ray-J’s girlfriend. You’ll remember that the two had a very infamous sex tape that Ray-J sold (some say Kim was in on the deal too, though she denies it). Maybe Kim thought she was due an extended shopping spree on the Norwood’s dime. The Kardashians are famous due to their deceased father, O.J. Simpson lawyer Robert Kardashian. Considering their legal linerage, I’m surprised they haven’t paid up. I doubt they have a leg to stand on – and if nothing else, it makes an already tacky family look that much worse.
