Kim Kardashian hires a new publicist, tries to move away from momager

Fine, I’ll admit it. I miss having Kim Kardashian photos on the regular. While she definitely over-saturated the market for Kardashian photos at times, it’s been so long since Kim has done a true pap stroll. She’s been photographed a few times here and there since giving birth, but I think she’s trying to either work with exclusive photo agencies now or she truly isn’t calling the paps on herself… right now. I’m sure the old Kim will come back, of course, but I’m kind of missing the Kardashian pap strolls. I’m saying that as a gossip blogger AND as a person. I want to see more of her Beyonce-style blonde hair and I want to see more of her post-baby body.

But will we ever see Ye Olde Famewhore Kardashian again? Page Six reports this morning that Kim is maybe switching over some of her management. As far as I know, Kris Jenner is still Kim’s manager, but Page Six says Kim hired a new publicist. Interesting.

Kim Kardashian has hired a new publicist in a bid to distance herself from her family melodrama.

We’re told the new mother has moved on from PMK*BNC’s Jill Fritzo, who has tirelessly represented the entire Kardashian clan for years, to Sarah Jessica Parker ’s publicist, Slate PR co-founder Ina Treciokas. She also represents Woody Harrelson, Owen Wilson, Liev Schreiber and Justin Theroux. Treciokas’ firm also reps Jennifer Aniston.

A source tells us, “Kim wants to set herself apart from the Kardashian p.r. machine, and Kanye West advised her to build her own team.”

Fritzo, currently battling with the Lamar Odom problem, continues to represent the rest of the Kardashians.

[From Page Six]

From a purely celebrity-analysis viewpoint, Kanye telling Kim to build her own team is smart and she’s smart to follow his advice. But! I can’t imagine Kris Jenner is pleased with the idea, and when Kris isn’t happy, she will go out of her way to make her daughters miserable too. I’m just saying, Kim is about to “punished” by her mom in some way and it won’t be pretty. Perhaps if Kim was really trying to separate herself and put an A-list team in place, she should have made the move all at once.

    Smart move, K.
    Now, move away from the plastic surgeon and the dermatologist too, please.

  2. Quinn says:

    I, for one, am not missing her mug at ALL.

    • Poppy Q says:

      Me either.I really feel like people have reached saturation point with ALL of the Kardashians, including Kim.She`s been around for a while now and I think her `fame` is starting to wane.

      • Ag says:

        Me neither.

      • Andrea1 says:

        Am with you guys! I don’t miss her one bit and have never commented on any of her post! I am just here to say I am happy the over saturation has stopped and like you said her fame has gone down and a lot of people feel happy about it! I don’t blame her and her family rather I blame America for celebrating this mediocre, talentless family…

    • LadyMTL says:

      I haven’t missed her either. In fact, it’s been very nice without her.

      • Nicolette says:

        It’s been very nice. If anyone’s been missing her there are certainly more than enough videos and photos of her to find. I have enjoyed her absence and wish it would continue

    • emmie_a says:

      I’m not missing her either… And what exactly is her brand?? Everything she does is in connection w/her disgusting family. She can run but she can’t hide from where she came!

    • Stef Leppard says:

      I only liked seeing her hideous pregnancy style. Now that she’s not pregs anymore I’m glad she’s been in hiding.

      • janie says:

        I don’t miss anything about any of the Ktrash clan! PMK is spending all her time destroying Lamar… It’s been great not having Kim thrust in my face everyday!

      • Denise says:

        I too enjoyed the bad outfits, it was pure entertainment. The only reason I clicked on this post was to get some satisfaction that PMK might be getting her comeuppance. Otherwise I don’t care.

    • Mitch Buchanan Rocks! says:

      She is boring.

  3. Renee says:

    My mouth fell open when I read the header. Something is wrong with me…

  4. DanaG says:

    I’m not missing her it shows her true status. LOL She isn’t missed and the paps can find others to take her talentless place. It’s probably more to do with Kanye not letting her whore out their baby. Besides Kanye likes being the focus of attention on his own. Notice how much of him we have seen?

  5. Macey says:

    I think its been quite nice to not have to see her face on the front page of every blog. I really wouldnt miss her even if those were the last published photos of her. I wish all of her family would fade into oblivion.

  6. swack says:

    JMO but I think she will “reappear” when they have played out all the Lamar Odom drama which has died down considerably. Next there will be problems between Kim and Kanye for the drama.

  7. Jackson says:

    Add me to the ranks of ‘don’t miss her at all.’ Go be a private citizen, raise your child and enjoy the luxuries that famewhoring bought you. The end.

  8. Andrea1 says:

    She can change her entire team all she wants, she can rebrand her wholesome self but she will always remain kim kadarshian.. I think she herself knows her fame has gone under! I never missed her and I won’t start now!! Its high time we stopped celebrating talentless famewhores!

  9. Why says:

    Niceley put…she’s trying!!

  10. Dusty says:

    Why would any female miss her? She is an awful role model for our gender.

  11. Kcaia says:

    I miss you Kim. But I don’t miss all the snarky comments about you.

  12. Becky says:

    I bet Kris supports this. Kim is her favorite and she probably agrees that she needs to branch out on her own. I bet Kris will even try to smooth it out w the sisters, who will not be as happy.

    • Hakura says:

      I don’t see why the sisters would be upset about this? Kris, on the other hand, has had control over & been living through Kim her whole life. Yes, she’s her ‘favorite’, but she was also probably the easiest of the 3 (Kourtney & Khloe) to manipulate, as well.

      Kim is more than popular Kourtney or Khloe. (The Jenner girls are slowly but surely building their own popularity). Losing management of Kim is a big negative hit to Kris, from a professional/bank account standpoint.

  13. idk says:

    I personally think the reason we haven’t seen much of her recently is because she still wants to loose more weight. She’ll be back into her tight dresses soon and all over TMZ once again.

    • JenD says:

      I thought that same thing. Once she gets “camera ready,” she’ll be back in the spotlight, calling the paps.

  14. MeowuiRose says:

    I admit I want to see her post baby body and face. I was horrified and actually offended (which I don’t get easily) by Scott isaDisck flaunting his monies the other day. those pics were tastless. We know you’re richer than God but seriously!? Flaunting your wealth is never classy or sassy, it’s just nasty and trashy.

  15. Mar says:

    She has nothing to offer honestly- so I do not miss her and I do not care about her or her “work”, whatever that may be

    • Josephine says:

      This was my thought. What exactly would a publicist publicize? Her weight loss is the only thing I can think of, because she doesn’t do anything. Maybe endorsements, but I can’t understand why any company would want to be associated with any of these people.

  16. Dawn says:

    I for one am not understanding her need for a manager at all as she has no talent. Girl can’t sing, can’t dance, can’t act and can’t model. Heck she doesn’t even speak in a voice that sounds adult. The only thing she is good at is the daily strolls that she takes so the paps can pap her. This is Kanye trying very hard to change her image which will be impossible. I loved how he finally took some shots at Ray J. but have left other rappers like Fifty Cent alone who have also made some remarks about good old Kimmode. I don’t see PMK letting her prize go unless she thinks the Jenner girls can take over for the older Kartra$hian girls. I think for the most part people are tired of her and her family.

  17. The Original G says:

    Kaiser, put me down for another “don’t miss her a bit.”

    We really don’t. I hesitated posting this because I’m afraid you’ll see the act as refuting the point. But really. Don’t want to see her.

  18. Ok says:

    Kim is likely staying out of site so that people think she is caring better for her baby than her kitten Mercy.

    And it is interesting that Kim is separating out. It is easier when your baby-daddy is worth $90 million. But it still has to be scary for her.

    • Tiffany says:

      Only 90 million. I would have thought somewhere between 120-150. He has been around and successful for quite a bit. He is still worth more than me *Kanye shrug*

  19. tricklady says:

    The ONLY thing I miss is her ASSCLOWN pregnancy outfits!

  20. anna says:

    what is this weird round lip-balm thing? it appears in miley´s we can´t stop video too. why?

    • swack says:

      My grandkiddos love those things!!! You can get them in any Walgreens, Target, Walmart, etc. Just a newer way to market lip balm. It is nothing special.

    • Domestic_diva says:

      They are by a brand called eos and I love them I keep one own hands at all times they moisturize wonderfully and they have great flavored try them

  21. marina says:

    Is putting on lip balm supposed to be sexy now? Did I miss something?

  22. The Original Mia says:

    We’ll just have to agree to disagree. Don’t miss her mug at all. So glad she disappeared. If she could stay away, it would be perfect.

  23. Ari says:

    That lip balm is the worst – chapstick does a better job

  24. alex says:

    How could ANYBODY miss Kim K? I don’t that’s for sure… hope she disappears one day.

  25. Claudia says:

    Add me to the “don’t miss her one bit” camp. That is all.

  26. umyeah says:

    Don’t miss her or her disgusting family. No more, please. If this whole Klan disappeared, I would be such a happy camper. Not only have they overstayed their welcome, but they have so little to contribute to society. so, please don’t do us any favors by coming back.

  27. Bex says:

    The only space I want to see her photo is a “Where Are they Now?” post in 20 years. Maybe.

  28. Dawn says:

    Kendall will be 18 in November while Kimmode will be 33 with a kid in October. Who do YOU think PMK has big plans for? I mean Kendall is young and fresh and 5’10” while Kimmode is 5’1” and not so very fresh. I can see PMK rubbing her hands together as I type this! The Show will be over in 2015 when Kimmode is 35 and the Jenner girls still so very young. PMK knows what she’s doing.

  29. ladybug says:

    Please go away!!!!!!!! Preferably forever! I am so sick of her and all of those insipid, vapid, ignorant Kardashians.

  30. Norman says:

    It does not matter who Kim has as a publicist. At the end of the day Kim Kardashian is Kim Kardashian is so on and so on. She makes her own news and people will know what goes on in her activities regardless of what publicist she has or not have.

  31. Dommy Dearest says:

    Ugh, of all people she’s trying to emulate WHY does it have to be Beyonce? Try hard. Gross on Kim and Beyonce is just disgusting with her superior to everyone else attitude.
