Kim Kardashian: Another Useless Star into the Fold

She's stunning. Kim Kardashian is simply one of the most beautiful young "socialites" partying it up into the wee hours of the morning. However, Kardashian is also a member of the exclusive sect of young Hollywood that has the stigma of being famous for absolutely nothing. Much like her friend Paris Hilton, Kim Kardashian's shining moment has come with most of her clothing not on her body and displaying what some viewers of a particular tape call her "skills" or lack thereof. Nevertheless, Kim Kardashian is undoubtedly the latest in an ever increasing line of useless celebrities in our gossip-loving society.

Born on October 21^st, 1980, Kim Kardashian is one of three daughters of the late attorney Robert Kardashian who was famous for defending O.J. Simpson in the 1990's. Until paparazzi and other celebrity entertainment news outlets began to see Kim Kardasian with Paris Hilton, she remained a relatively obscure figure. Unlike other young financially well-off individuals such as Lindsay Lohan or Britney Spears, she does not have any acting or music credentials (save a single appearance in one music video). Her friend, Paris Hilton, however talentless and useless to society she may be, has appeared on a reality show and has even release an album to her credit.

The only reason most people know Kim Kardashian as more than a pretty face in a sea of pretty faces is because of the fact that she has a sex-tape. Rapper Ray-J, the little brother of the better known singer Brandy, "co-starred" in the sex tape with her, which was distributed by Vivid Video. Legal action was taken on the part of Kardashian, which will eventually net her a pretty penny. Regardless, it seems that her lack of integrity has garnered her much celebrity, the exact opposite of what was expecting and what happened with Paris Hilton.
