Paris Hilton and Kim Kardashian at TAO nightclub in Las Vegas in 2006
Paris Hilton created a monster. And their names are Kim, Kourtney, and Khloe. I guess Paris is a little bit jealous that the Kardashian sisters are suddenly at the top of every club promoters list, while she's yesterday's slutty news. A source told the New York Post:
"Paris is furious that Kim got her start by hanging out in Hollywood with her -- and now, the Kardashians have it all, the reality shows, the magazine covers, the big appearance fees and promotional deals. She used to command $100,000 for club appearances, but now Kim is the hottest girl -- and they aren't friends anymore. The magazines are bidding around $300,000 for Kourtney's baby-shower and baby pictures. And Khloe's wedding brought in record ratings for E!
"Paris has realized that standing for excess in a recession doesn't appeal. The Kardashian girls seem more real, and girls identify with them more. She's got to ditch the pink Bentley and concentrate on developing herself."
Sources close to Hilton said she's carefully working on the launch of her new hair and beauty line, which she'll unveil in Beverly Hills on Tuesday, taking the lead from the Kardashians by having her family at her side.
Was there ever any doubt the Kardashians would become more famous than Paris? They have bigger tits than she does. The truth is, although the Kardashians are now a bigger draw than Paris, she has no one to blame for that fact but herself -- she showed them exactly how to become successful in Hollywood: Step 1. Make a sex tape. Step 2. Protest its release. Step 3. Profit, Rinse, Repeat.

Claudia Jordan at the premiere of Law Abiding Citizen held at Grauman's Chinese Theatre in Hollywood (10/6)
Khloe Kardashian was the rebound girl. Just a week before Lamar Odom met Khloe, he asked Claudia Jordan (Miss Rhode Island 1997, former Price is Right and Deal or No Deal model) to marry him. She said no. Transcript from Friday's Petros and Money Show (sports talk radio show in L.A.; former Lakers radio host Matt Smith talking):
"You want to know how in love Lamar is? Word is Lamar was madly in love with another young lady no less than one week before he met Khloe and asked that young lady to marry him and she said, 'whoa, slow down.' This was another celebrity that sees herself grace the pages of TMZ."
It's pretty clear he's talking about Claudia. Lamar and her were definitely an item before he met Khloe. Smith continues:
"So you wonder . . . maybe Lamar had alternate plans and alternate intentions of making himself more of a celebrity than just a dude that plays basketball for the Lakers . . . One week after he asked another young lady to marry him, he meets Khloe and three weeks later, he asks her to marry him."
So lemme get this straight, Lamar wants to become a big Hollywood star and his strategy to achieve that goal is to marry one of the Kardashian sisters. Really? Really? So I guess Blair from The Facts off Life was already taken? Tough break. In all seriousness Lamar, I wish you the best . . . divorce attorney. You might want to give William Kermisch a call. Great reviews on yelp.
Lamar Odom leaving his bachelor party at STK restaurant in West Hollywood (9/25)
You know how people are saying that Khloe Kardashian married Lamar Odom for the money (I said it, Khloe's mom said it, Khloe's dad, Khloe's grandma, Khloe's grandpa, Khloe 1st grade teacher, Khloe's pastor, etc.)? It might be the other way around. From the Chicago Sun Times:
According to a spy who attended Khloe Kardashian and Lamar Odom's wedding in Beverly Hills, the couple ''looked like they were very much in love ... but everyone there knows this is really all about money."
The reality TV star and the L.A. Lakers forward walked the aisle Sunday. "It's a financial arrangement," the guest said, "but with Lamar not having a prenup -- and supposedly not getting a dime from mthe millions Khloe is cashing in on this wedding -- people wonder what he's getting out of this.''
An answer to that question comes from a Lakers front office staffer. ''It's all about being in the spotlight. Lamar craves the attention and he's fascinated by how Khloe and her family get it. ... It's always bugged him how Kobe [Bryant] and Shaq [O'Neal] and Michael [Jordan] are such media magnets. He wants that too. He figures being with Khloe will only help to build his brand too.''
Sorry Lamar. Building your brand like Kobe, Shaq and Michael takes one thing that you don't have: an Amazonian gender-challenged wife talent. Those other guys became superstars because they were winners, not because they married into a family made up of urinal cake impressionists, out-of-wedlock pregnant midgets, or parents that sold their soul to keep O.J. Simpson from being convicted. Did you know that Dr. Phil is actually threatening to build a studio in their basement? True story.
Paris and Nicky Hilton leaving the HD Vision Broadcast Center in Studio City (6/12)
I hope Paris and Nicky Hilton didn't buy Khloe Kardashian and Lamar Odom a gift before their wedding. It would have been sort of awkward since the two never got invited. Ouch. From Betty Confidential:
They were BFFs growing up, but neither Nicky Hilton nor her sister, Paris, was invited to Khloe Kardashian’s wedding on Sunday.
We caught up with Nicky over the weekend as she celebrated her 26th birthday a few days early at Dusk nightclub at Caesar’s Palace in Atlantic City, NJ. While the Hiltons and Kardashians were friends growing up, these days, it seems they’ve grown apart. "I wasn’t invited to Khloe’s wedding this weekend," Nicky admitted, "but if I had been, I would have stuck to ordering her a gift off her registry - it’s always the way to go. None of our family was invited to the wedding."
Well at least Nicky would have ordered a gift off the registry. If Paris was invited, there is a 100% chance she would have given Khloe and Lamar a DVD box set of The Simple Life and an autographed picture of herself.
Kourtney, Kim, and Khloe Kardashian at the grand opening party for Dash Miami (5/20)
What crappy economy? The Kardashian sisters have earned a combined million dollars the past few months through calculated fame-whoring. *beats head against keyboard* From the New York Post:
Kim, Kourtney and Khloe's antics -- and their curvaceous figures -- have landed them big-money magazine covers, TV and media deals, as well as sponsorship from diet aid SlimQuick.
Even their little half-sister, Kendall Jenner, 13, is getting into the act -- she landed a contract with Wilhelmina Models in July and is now negotiating an advertising deal.
A source said: "The Kardashian sisters are big business. Their mother, Kris, is a smart businesswoman and manages their deals. She knows how to make the most of these big announcements.
"She's negotiating a magazine deal for Khloe's wedding, around $250,000, another deal for Kourtney's baby, and there will probably be yet another deal when Kim eventually gets back together with Reggie," our insider said. "Then there's the product deals -- they've already got the fashion line, now they're branching out into perfume and beauty products."
If you really think about it, all of these new found riches for the Kardashians can be traced back to one single moment: the release of Kim's sex tape. If it weren't for that tape being "leaked," Kim never would have become famous and her sisters never would have been discovered. So before you start blaming society for turning three worthless skanks into media darlings, remember who the real culprit is: Ray J's bladder.
