Kim Kardashian & Kanye West return to LA, Kim wears tennis shoes: better?

Here are some photos of Kim Kardashian and Kanye West arriving back in LA after their Easter jaunt to Paris. That’s a long-ass flight to do twice within a few days! LA to Paris and then Paris to LA within, like, four days? What’s the point? I think a little jaunt to Paris sounds fun, but I’m not going to waste an entire day of my life going back and forth on what is probably… what, like a ten-hour flight?

As you can see, Kim is still dressing with relative comfort. She’s wearing sensible tennis shoes and baggy, comfortable-looking layers. I doubt she’s even wearing maternity Spanx under that outfit! So, a small relief. Have I told you that my mom is obsessed with Kim’s pregnancy? This is what my mom said: “I have never seen a pregnant woman carry a baby entirely in her ass.” My mom is totally fascinated. Not so fascinated? Model Helena Christensen, who wrote an open letter defending Kim and her changing body. Here’s part of the letter:

It is disgusting and despicable the way that certain media constantly harass the pregnant Kim Kardashian. It’s enough that they persistently project a negative focus on women’s physical shapes; but a public bullying and attacking of a pregnant woman because of her growing shape is just lower than low.

Whatever else the tabloid-media feel a sick need to spew out of their venomous bowels, let that be their lame choice. But there should be some moral compass. It doesn’t matter who the woman is or what she does. No one should ever be publicly judged for their body, but to attack an expecting mother is sacrilegious and just plain wrong. A pregnant woman should not be criticized for her shape, period!!

[Helena’s Open Letter, via HuffPo]

Eh. I mean, I agree that a pregnant woman shouldn’t be attacked for gaining weight, and I said the same thing when it was Jessica Simpson and the world was all “OMG SHE’S FAT”. Now, I don’t think it’s “sacrilegious” – it’s just rude, unpleasant and mean to yell at a pregnant woman. But… I think it’s totally acceptable to chuckle a little when a woman tells blatant lies about her weight or to laugh at a woman’s terrible maternity fashion. Thankfully, Kim is keeping her mouth shut now and she’s finally wearing actual maternity clothes.

    I don’t want to comment on her weight-other than to say “thank god she’s wearing something comfortable and not hideous”-but yet again-the 2 of them look miserable!

    • springingforward says:

      Is this website on the Kardashian payroll?
      The daily coverage of this idiot is uninteresting and indulgent.

      I will no longer click or comment on Kardashian stories.
      They need to GO AWAY.

      • Erica says:

        I like kardashian stories. If you don’t, read a different one. There are plenty of celebrities I find uninteresting (Lindsey Lohan for one) so I never read the articles. I don’t get angry though. This websites just for entertainment

      • Dea says:

        You are right!! I cannot believe the attention these bitches get.

      • Hakura says:

        So now everyone who expresses an opinion about a KarTrashian is suddenly ‘on their payroll’?

        I like these stories because they’re harmless. Something I can retreat to after a stressful day & enjoy. One of the very few topics we can -all- talk about as a community, & enjoy eachother’s company.

  2. Zigggy says:

    Oh my god, she actually looks cute! Finally something comfortable and normal looking.

    • CreamSoda says:

      Agreed. She is finally looking like a normal pregnant woman here. Actually, she is finally looking like a normal person, period. Much better.

    • lucy says:

      This must be an imposter and not really KK!

      She is attired well (especially the shoes.) So it can’t be Kim!

      The jacked boobs, wide load, too much/too long hair aren’t good, but no argument about the wardrobe.

      Does look like she’s been crying though, and didn’t get any sleep.

  3. lori says:

    If she wasn’t filled with silicone bags she’d probably look normal. Pregnant but normal.

  4. MyLeNe - Montreal says:

    i like to see how she is hypocrit when it come to the paparazzi when Kanye West is around .. She act like “Don’t take My Pic Bro” Yaaa Right !

    • Dusty says:

      So true!

    • I'm Gonna Leave Soon says:

      That is what I came here to say. Now she is like don’t take my picture, please. It was just for show, she is loving all of this.

    • Lex says:

      She just stepped off a flight. Perhaps she doesn’t want her picture taken. Would you?
      People just say things to be ridiculous it seems!

  5. gee says:

    She looks very cute like this.

  6. Renee says:

    Why is it that they never walk side by side? I don’t understand them. Chris Martin and Gwyneth Paltrow they are not, there was never any debate about why they are together (for fame and publicity) so why are they so shy around each other? The commenters who have stated that she doesn’t look happy pregnant are correct and he never looks happy in photographs…I’m not trying to say that they hate each other but I don’t understand the reason for the ruse (of them acting like they don’t know each other in public).

  7. TheOriginalKitten says:

    Yeah, the media is only good when Kim can use it to her promotional advantage right? She brings up her damn weight every chance she gets, but the rest of us aren’t allowed to talk about it?

    GTFO.

    …and just to be clear, I have not talked about her weight gain during pregnancy, but I certainly don’t fault those that do.

  8. Aussie girl says:

    This more relaxed look is the best I have seen her so far.

  9. Maddie says:

    Kanye is still in Paris. He did not come back to LA with her.

    • i'm french don't kill me says:

      apparently he’s in LA now

    • Vicky says:

      Maddie’s correct. Kanye is still in Paris.

      He walked her to the airport in Paris, but she flew solo.

      Something’s not right here. I predict a break up within the next 2 weeks.

    • lucy says:

      Kanye is a NOSE-PICKER! Has no one else noticed this?

      Or has nose-picking somehow become socially acceptable along with kardashian drama?

  10. ZigZagZoey says:

    Well, I think she deserves it.
    And you cannot change my mind about that.
    She sought and wanted attention so badly all of her life, flaunting her gross self all over the place, and now that she is fat and gross, she wants it to stop….PLEASE!

    “Noone should be publicly judged for their body”….A quote from a MODEL…..OMG, seriously?

    Fun fact ~ Helena C has a kid with Norman Reedus…sigh…

    • DeltaJuliet says:

      Fun fact ~ Helena C has a kid with Norman Reedus…sigh…

      I read that a couple of weeks ago somewhere…that lucky bitch.

    • minime says:

      Yeah right!! Is it a new fashionable thing to throw shame on body judging, when you are/were actually a model and the only thing you did for a living was to expose that body??

      I’m all against body shaming, but I’m getting a bit sick of all these comments from people who actually contribute for the “ideal body” image sold by magazines that are usually the all base of body shaming.

      And I agree with ZZZ: what did Kim do for a living apart of living from her body image, that she changed with plastic surgery to make it more “appealing” to the media? I don’t think it’s nice to bash on her weight, but she should be the last one complaining about it anyway…

      Non-rant: Kim looks nice in those confortable clothes.

    • I'm Gonna Leave Soon says:

      I wonder if Helena knows and understands who Kim is?

      Does she just think that Kim is a real celebrity and not some media whore, who is doing all of this for attention?

      If only we could quiz Helena on Kim?
      Q1. Who started their “career” with a sex tape?
      Q2. Who was married in a huge media frenzy and then separated 72 days later?
      Q3. Who works all the time but doesn’t actually have anything to show for it?
      Q4. Who filmed extra scenes for a reality show to make her hubby seem like a tool? (to be fair I think Kris is a tool)

  11. Lynne says:

    He came back with her or stayed in France?
    Didn’t she arrive on Easter, have one full day and then leave on tuesday ? Why go for ne day?

  12. Jane says:

    They both look totally miserable.

  13. aims says:

    Weight gain has never been the issue here. I think what gets everyone is the ridiculous outfits. They aren’t helping her, and look really uncomfortable.

    • sunnyinseattle says:

      That is exactly what I was going to say. When she doesn’t dress horribly, she looks cute and like a pretty pregnant woman should. It is the outfits we pick on, pregnant or not….;-)

    • chops says:

      I could care less about this B her family her relationship her non career her pregnancy or her child once it arrives…I’ve had no interests in any of these posts until recently and only for the pics and fatty bashing comments….if she starts dressing some what appropriately I’ll disappear from K land again and go back to la Lohan where I am happy….my truth : /

  14. hoya_chick says:

    LOL! I second what your mom said! Her pregnancy baffles me! I mean she has gained weight every where except her abdomen. Her ass is out of control! She looks comfortable here but I think had she not dressed in such ridiculously tight clothing in the last few months no one would have commented on her weight. She then exacerbated the whole thing by lying about how much she has gained so that’s where we are. I’d also like to point out that when you make millions off your looks with no discernible talent people will comment on your looks, including your weight pregnant or not.

    And I totally agree about all that travel for just 2 days in Paris! If she even utters a thing about being stressed out by her divorce all she has to do is look at her passport and see all the flying she has been doing!

    I am planning a trip to Thailand for my birthday and I was only going to go for a week but my friends talked me out of it, it makes no sense to fly all that way for that short amount of time. So now I’m going for 2 weeks.

    Oh and I think it’s really interesting that Kanye hasn’t seen her since the last time she was in Paris and had her alleged miscarriage scare. What kind of baby daddy doesn’t rush to his pregnant girl’s side in that instance? And if he was going to be coming back to the US in a few days why did she even bother going?

    Sorry for the long post!

    • ZigZagZoey says:

      Hey, have a great time on your trip! ♥
      My nephew went there and loved it.
      And don’t apologize for long posts…They are good!

      • Hoya_chick says:

        Thanks! Love the site and the gals who comment. I’m really looking forward to my trip!

  15. Shelly says:

    She actually looks cute.

  16. Joy says:

    And if she’s trying to lay off the “stress” she has then she should maybe not travel so much to pap filled airports. And how dare she cover her face NOW??? Come on Kim we all know attention is like air to you. But y’all, her face makes me sad for real. It was so pretty before she did whatever crazy mess she did.

  17. lurker says:

    I think these pics confirm that she is not faking her pregnancy…because otherwise she wouldn’t be caught dead in SNEAKERS (gym trips aside, of course)

    • Hakura says:

      And here I was, thinking she probably wore stilettos on the treadmill. xD (God forbid she ever wore them to yoga, she probably would’ve ended up killing someone or putting their eye out). xD

  18. Dawn says:

    I think it so funny that the only time she is shy around the press is with Kanye. Geez her assistant more than likely called and told the paps where to be and what time to be there. What a phony!

  19. Palermo says:

    I keep seeing “blinds” that the surrogate is in Paris. I believe it. Pimp Mama made Kim go and drag Kanye back by his ear, he must have been in violation of the agreement they drew up to look like he actually cared about this bimbo.

  20. judyjudy says:

    I’d feel bad for the criticism she receives if she didn’t sell her story every single effing day!

  21. Joan says:

    All i have to say about kanye return to LA is:nice pr stunt kris,you are really a manager.
    I give this couple 3months maximum

  22. anon says:

    Kanye didn’t come back with her. Crazy three weeks ago she threatened to miscarry & was told to back off & rest. Kanye did not fly in to make sure she was OK he stayed in France.. Three weeks late KIM flys again to see him he does not return with her.He did not support her for her 9 hour deposition nor will he be around for her divorce etc. This relationship (cough cough) appears to be hitting the skids. Kanye is in hiding since he heard KIM is bad for his relationship.. What pregnant woman flys for less then 48 hours or 48 hours & 10 hour flights & return immediately after having a health scare.. Everything is too manufactured with these people.

    • Gm says:

      Kim probably trapped him with this baby.

    • Trudy says:

      There was a blind not too long ago about a rapper who didn’t know what he was getting into with his girlfriends family and wants out, and that the reason they havent been photographed together is because he is laying low and doing lots of coke. It fits them perfectly. Kim got herself in this mess.

    • Paloma says:

      I have wondered why he continues to stay in France. Would think that would get to her after awhile. Is this his first trip to LA in a while?

  23. MandyMay says:

    What I want to know is… how the hell does she gain so much weight and not have a double chin. I can think about a piece of chocolate and my face fat grows! Not Fair!

  24. The Original Mia says:

    Kim is all shy and whatnot with Kanye, but straight up famewhoring when he’s absent. Who does she think she’s fooling? The only reason for this impromptu trip to Paris was all the talk about Kanye being MIA.

    As for Helena’s comments, she’s entitled to them. Just as I’m entitled to comment on Kim’s horrendous fashion sense and famewhoring moves regarding this pregnancy.

  25. Madpoe says:

    “Oooh, thats a bingo!”
    Less is more Kimmy!
    Now go eff it up tomorrow’s photo shoot.

  26. Bird says:

    She looks soooooo much better dressed comfortably like this. No snark from me.

  27. bagladey says:

    Kanye did NOT return to LA with Kim; he drove with her to the Paris airport and deposited her in the departure lounge before SHE flew back to LA.

  28. Listerino says:

    I agree in that I don’t think people should be making fun of her weight. Her maternity fashion, on the other hand, is fair game and she really has been wearing some shockers. But she actually looks cute like this. Goes to show when she actually wears maternity wear and stops trying to fit into things she fit into when she wasn’t pregnant that she can look nice.

  29. mkyarwood says:

    Pears do carry in their bums, ha! People kept saying I was so tiny but, believe me, it was full. New ideas that she’s faking her pregnancy just like Beysus have been popping up. Either she listened to what J Simpson said, or she really is pregolated.

  30. mar says:

    She is fair game – she made it that way- she did not become famous so you would not talk about her, she became famous for fame, no other reason.

  31. elceibeno08 says:

    Much much better. She looks comfortable. Her shoes are sensible for a pregnant woman. I would say she has improved.

  32. janie says:

    I’m sick of everything re: K… I’m done commenting & reading about her.

  33. KellyinSeattle says:

    She and Kayne were meant for each other because they’re both annoying.

  34. The Original G says:

    I think Kanye’s absence says something too. I know they have work commintments, but surely they would want to be together?

    Could her insistence in continuing to dress “sexy” be her way of trying to provoke more attention from him from afar? She looks sad.

  35. j-asorous says:

    I’ve never seen a pregnant woman with such a shapeless belly. Could it be all the lipo she’s had has made her expand to the sides? Fascinating

  36. JL says:

    Cute, much better and glowing mom look.

    Kim read this and take note, it seems everyone likes this look better.

    Just have a healthy child and worry about the rest later.

    I’m only 5′ tall myself, I understand the weight and dressing issues. There is just no space to carry a baby.

  37. janice says:

    In the Daily Mail there are numerous pics of the couple. I find it interesting that after Enquirer and Mediatakeout outed Kim’s fake baby bump she is
    either hiding it with her handbag or her clothes, also when she gets out of a car she is so careful to make sure that it looks right when she exits or covers it with something. The last picture (before Pairs) of her exiting a car she had a tight dress on and the bump caved.

  38. dorothy says:

    Their “relationship” just doesn’t seem kosher. Never smiling when together, he’s in Paris, she’s in L.A. This is not a real relationship. I don’t see them lasting much longer than a couple of months after the birth.

  39. Abby says:

    I just had a terrible thought looking at her sneakers. Don’t some pregnant women gain a shoe size? WHAT ABOUT ALL HER SHOES????

    • idk says:

      Isn’t she having a daughter? She can give them to her I guess. LOL would be funny if her daughter ended up a Tomboy who hated the spotlight.

  40. crumbcake says:

    Now she doesn’t look so huge. She actually looks like a “normal” pregnant woman in these clothes… not overstuffed into ridiculously tight non-maternity clothing. Much improved in my opinion.

  41. truthful says:

    Kanye is NOT in the US with Kim, she returned by herself.

    there was footage of him it, I saw it yesterday.

    Ye will stay in Paris until his new music is finished, all of the artists are flying out to him to be on his new joint.

    I doubt he will return until she goes into labor or something.

    its funny as soon as she was gone, he was back to smiling w/his assistant. I saw the snap shots, LOL

    • idk says:

      Couldn’t he record his new album in LA? Why Paris?

      • truthful says:

        he loves Paris, and he does not have to be worried about the paps and Kim seizing every opportunity to make it a photo op.

        there area few other things too, but I’ll leave it at that.

    • Trudy says:

      Yes, when he is recording he stays one place and anybody that wants to see him has to come to where he is. The last time it was Hawai. All the artistes were flying out to there because thats where he was recording.

  42. AbbeyRoad says:

    I think this is the best she’s ever looked. Maybe from now on she’ll boldly go where no Kardashian has ever gone before: NORMAL PEOPLE CLOTHES!

    (I am pretty biased, though, because sometimes Tilda Swinton wears Normal People Clothes and it’s really sad and anti-climactic.)

  43. Ginger says:

    At least she looks comfortable for once so good for her! But frightening that crowd of paparazzi around her while preggers. I fear for get safety there.

  44. skuddles says:

    Kanye shows NO affection towards her at all in public anymore. Wouldn’t this be a good time for him to hold her hand, walk beside her, smile at her – you know, make it look like he actually gives a shit about her? I seriously doubt these two will still be together when the baby is born.

  45. Lexi says:

    She looks more comfortable which is better

  46. Maritza says:

    She looks so much prettier with casual maternity clothes and without the usual ton of makeup.

  47. Vicky says:

    Kanye is still in Paris.

    He walked her to the airport in Paris, but she flew solo.

    Something’s not right here. I predict a break up within the next 2 weeks.

  48. DanaG says:

    I will be surprised if the split before the baby probably after. Him working in Paris when he could work in LA says a lot and the fact she is supposed to have had a miscarriage scare and he didn’t rush to her and then she again goes sees him says A) it probably wasn’t really a miscarriage scare and B) he really couldn’t give a stuff about Kim. You can’t say your baby is in danger then do these long haul flights. Kanye could go to her and if there really was a problem with the baby he should be. KIm can’t blame the divorce either. I think it’s fine to make fun of Kim K most comments are about the stupid clothes she wears and her insistance on stuffing her newly pregnant body into super tight clothes which do nothing for her or the baby.

  49. Cinderella says:

    I don’t think she’s pregnant. Everything is so shady.

  50. SydneySpy says:

    She looks really nice here, nicer than she’s looked in years. But the face…! Does she ever smile? Is she, in fact, ABLE to smile? She used to have such an attractive, exotic face, but now…ugh. She’s become a caricature. Does anyone – media, producers, photographers, men, boyfriends, fans etc. – find this solid wax look attractive? I’m bamboozled that such women think that going over the top with all these “enhancements” actually makes them look better. It’s delusional.

  51. CharmingFrock says:

    It sure makes me feel better that I wasn’t the only person having trouble with maternity clothing. I totally KNEW all most of it was designed for Barbie dolls.

  52. samab says:

    I wouldn’t comment if she wouldn’t make a fool of herself with stupid outfits and claims about her weight.

  53. Rose says:

    I think she only has herself to blame, she’s talentless and has made a fortune out of selling her image (and body, hello sex tape anyone?) so that’s all the public has to focus on. She brings it on herself, no one saw Beyonce in her final months, if you don’t want attention there are ways you can avoid this circus
