Will the Kardashians ever stop being in the media???  Just when you thought they were on their way out, they have to make another over the top statement!  The ‘media whores‘ unveiled their 2011 Christmas card on Monday, in which all 11 members strike a pose wearing tuxedo-style red carpet-worthy formal attire instead of traditional holiday wear.  Thank goodness for makeup, hair, and stylist professionals…since we all now know what they look like when they’re not all made up and photo shopped!

The Kardashian Christmas Card

“I love our family Christmas card shoots and I think this one looks amazing!” Kim, 31, wrote on her Celebuzz blog.  We guess she didn’t mind that her mother was the center of attention in this photo…After all, it does seem to always end up being about Big Mama in the end…God forbid anyone leaves her out…

Extended family members Lamar Odom, (Khloe’s hubby) and Scott Disick (the father of Kourtney’s son Mason) are included in the portrait.  Meanwhile, Kris Humphries is noticeably absent…what a shock!  The entire family are dressed in their finest menswear-inspired ensembles, except for Kris Jenner, of course…who dons a sparkly body-hugging teal dress and stands proudly in the middle of her brood.  Such an egomaniac…

For an added touch of drama, everyone attempts their best “Blue Steel” impression and gazes dramatically into the distance.  And if the photo, shot by photographer Nick Saglimbeni, isn’t enough, Kardashian fans can get even more of the famous family by viewing the image in 3D with 3D glasses.  (who wants to even see it in 1 dimension…?)

Leave it to the Kardashians to make money off the Holidays…!  Especially when there are so many homeless and less fortunate people out there who need money.  BSW thinks this year people should really start looking at the “big picture,” and ask themselves, “How can I make a difference.  How can I help others who are in need and not think only of myself…?”  Now that’s a world we’d be proud to live in:)!

Happy Holidays!  Be true to yourself and your family!

Kris Humphries, who filed for an annulment yesterday to his 72-day ho, I mean bride, Kim Kardashian, is facing the ugly truth that he was just a pawn.  According to sources very close to the NBA player, Humphries believes Kardashian only needed him as a groom to boost ratings for her show. DUH!!!!

The Happy Couple: Kris Humphries and Kim

It was obvious that once the taping was over, Kim no longer needed his services…Ummm, isn’t that kind of like a hired escort/hooker…?  Kim should have just gone that route…much easier and no feelings involved.  Just a clean and friendly transaction.  “He was just slotted in the plot line of Kim Kardashian’s latest headline and newest business venture,” the sources said.  Ya Think…!

Humphries filed for the separation in a change of heart following Kardashian’s own divorce filing, citing “irreconcilable differences” as the reason for separation and “fraud” as the legal grounds for annulment, a source said.  “He is sensitive to marriage both emotionally and religiously,” the source also added. “He entered the marriage in good faith and genuinely loved her and is devastated that it turned out like this.”  But really now, in his heart of hearts couldn’t he see through her bullshit…

Humphries claims he got caught up in the hoopla and the filming of the TV show.  According to friends, Humphries is outraged that people would think he was somehow in on the wedding scam.  “He would have never flown in his childhood pastor to marry them and involve his church,” one friend said.

Of course Kardashian is fighting back against the accusations of fraud, saying she wanted the annulment first, but filed for divorce after being told it was her only legal option.  Leave it to her to try and make him look like the bad guy… Such class Kim has…she must have learned it from big mama…

Kris, hang in there…we are on your side and can’t wait to get the news that you came into a lot of “Kardashian Money…”

Kim Kardashian spoke too soon.

The reality star’s words have come back to haunt her in an interview she gave to Marie Claire’s December issue just weeks after saying “I do” to NBA player Kris Humphries.

Despite filing for divorce a mere 72 days into the marriage, Kardashian was still a blissful newlywed after just three weeks as Mrs. Humphries – or at least that’s what she wants the public to believe.

“I feel like where we’re at right now is the best time in my life,” the 31-year-old tells the magazine of her time with Humphries, shooting down those pesky tabloid rumors of marital strife that turned out to be all too true.

Though others suspected Humphries had ulterior motives during the couple’s relationship, it was ironically Kardashian who proved to have her mind elsewhere.

Still, she was full of praise for her new husband and boasted about how easy he makes her life.

“I’m not worried about him at all. We have a lot of trust, and I don’t think either of us would do anything to break that,” she says. “It makes life so easy. He’s such a good guy; he is so down-to-earth, and it’s such a reality check.”

“He is a normal guy, and I just want to chill out and be normal and not get glammed up all the time. He gets it,” she continues. “Sometimes my life can be really intimidating for people, but he allows me to work and do what I’ve gotta do.”

Kardashian goes on to defend the couple’s decision to wed after just six months of engagement.

“We felt like, ‘Why wait?’” she explains. “It’s fun to have a partner who understands your life and lets you be you.”

Unlike her recent failed romance, one relationship in which Kardashian says she felt misguided was during her first marriage to music producer Damon Thomas.

“I was 19, and I didn’t know myself,” the reality star says of the four-year union that ended in 2004. “As unhappy as I was, and as happy as I am now not to be in that relationship, I learned so much from it: who I wanted to be, who I never wanted to be – you take all those issues and move on.”

“I learned how to cook and do a lot of marital things,” she adds. “It definitely taught me what being a wife is all about. I think it means taking care of each other’s needs and being there for someone unconditionally.”

Sounds like someone didn’t learn her lesson.

Kim Kardashian may soon have more in common with Paris Hilton than she’d like.  According to former Daily News writer Jo Piazza who has analyzed the efforts of both women to become money-minting celebrity brands, and she tells us that though Kardashian did a much better job, her “shelf life” is about to end.  And she’s not talking about Kardashian’s hind quarters.

Kim Kardashain falling from grace

Piazza, who has a degree in economics from the University of Pennsylvania, devotes a chapter comparing Hilton and Kardashian’s “brand” strategies in her book Celebrity Inc., which hits shelves tomorrow.  Piazza explains that her book is about “how famous people make money” and in the chapter entitled “Kim Kardashian Versue Paris Hilton: Innovation in the Celebutante Market,” she explains how Kardashian surpassed Hilton to become the nation’s premier celebutante: “a person, typically female, who is famous for being famous,” according to the book.  (really, what a concept now…)

Noting in her book that “Celebrity years are like dog years,” one year of fame equals seven of “regular life,” Piazza gives props to Hilton for racking up seven years of shelf life.  She also adds, however, that Kardashian was able to ultimately surpass her former friend because she was a “second mover in the market” who was “able to learn from Hilton’s abundant mistakes.”  ( I guess the next person famous for nothing will learn from Kim’s…like don’t get married and divorced within less then a year of your marriage…)

Piazza adds that Kardashian “had the X-factor plus something more an entire family willing to push the boundaries of personal exposure for the sake of bolstering brand Kardashian.”  (we call them ho’s!)

According to Celebrity Inc, another advantage Kardashian had over Hilton was the former’s ability to sell magazines when she appeared on the cover.  Hilton, on the other hand, was a “sales buzzkill,” according to a magazine editor quoted in the book.  (Yes, but at least Paris was all real…nothing fake to help boost her sales)

Hilton’s star has faded considerably in recent months, and Piazza predicts the same is about to happen to Kardashian in the wake of her ridiculously brief marriage, to NBA player Kris Humphries .  (YAY!!!!!!!!!!  We all can’t wait…Can it please happen now?)

“The consumer liked Kim because she was different than Paris,” Piazza says.  “They really bought into everything she did. Now everyone thinks she’s a joke.”  In light of recent media reports that Kardashian’s marriage was a publicity stunt, Piazza says fed up consumers will soon tune her out like they did with Hilton. (BSW gossip has news for you..the buzz has already hit Hollywood…totally tuned out!)

A successful marriage to Humphries, Piazza contends, would have allowed Kardashian to extend her shelf life because, she explains, “if she got knocked up she would have five more years” of front-page publicity” and, she estimates, at least $1 million in baby-picture publication rights revenues.

Piazza says Kardashian would be “wise to study Hilton’s decline.”  There is always someone younger and prettier waiting in the wings.  The author already has someone in mind: Kardashian’s younger sister, Kendall Jenner.  (She might be younger but definitely not prettier.  According to an inside BSW source, Kendall is extremely rude!  Don’t expect her to hold the bathroom door open for you or anyone else! This Kardashian in training is already a BIATCH…

As for Kim…bye-bye sista Kardashian…Don’t let little Kendall have the door hit you on your way out…

Kim Kardashian and Kris Humphries may not be so over, after all.

Kim Kardashian just can't make up her mind!

Seven days after filing for divorce from her NBA-player hubby, the reality show starlet was spotted getting off a plane in Minneapolis where Humphries lives, which was reported by TMZ.  The trip came after Kardashian cut short her trip to Australia following her divorce announcement.

She and Humphries reportedly split largely over conflicts involving where they were going to live.  While Kardashian wanted to live in New York or Los Angeles, Humphries wanted to live in Minnesota and raise a family. Kardashian was also peeved that Humphries hired a publicist.  (what no competition allowed for the spotlight?) A source close to her reportedly said, “He’s not in f-ing Hollywood.  He plays sports.”  (and famous players don’t have PR?)

Humphries, meanwhile, suggested he was blindsided by the divorce papers, which Kardashian filed after just 72 days of marriage.  In a statement last week he said he wanted to salvage the relationship.  “I love my wife and am devastated to learn she filed for divorce,” he said to People.com. “I’m committed to this marriage and everything this covenant represents and I’m willing to do whatever it takes to make it work.”

Sources told TMZ Kardashian’s visit to her husband’s hometown was not necessarily a reconciliation attempt, but that the door was “definitely not shut.”  If the two do get back together, it may sit badly with many fans who have questioned if the wedding was real. Some have even suggested it was a publicity ploy- something Kardashian has vehemently denied.

“If you’re really divorcing someone, divorce is serious and you have to play the serious card,” PR expert Richard Laermer told the News shortly after the divorce announcement. “She didn’t do that at all.” (no shit Sherlock!)

TMZ reported that Kardashian wrote on an emotional email to her family apologizing for the situation. (She couldn’t pick up the phone…it’s not like their family…!)

“Kris is a great guy but we come from such different worlds and he isn’t what I thought when we 1st met,” the letter said, according to the website.  “I’m embarrassed that I took everyone on this journey with me and had this huge wedding.  But I have to be happy, so I have to let this relationship go. “ (You mean you have to have the spotlight all to yourself along with the money and who cares if you break several hearts along the way…)

BSW is not buying it Kim.  We think you need to do some serious therapy or deep meditation off in a monastery with some monks.  This time around no one feels sorry for you:(

Just two months since their lavish, $10 million wedding, the newlyweds “are not getting along at all,” a source tells the new Us Weekly. “Kris is not drinking the Kardashian Kool-Aid, and it’s causing major problems.”  Gee what a shock!

The issue?  While Kardashian, 31, juggles her reality shows and multiple moneymaking ventures, the basketball hunk 26, is unemployed thanks to the NBA lockout — and partying up a storm on his wife’s dime.

The hard-working Kardashian is already near her breaking point, a family friend reveals, and the couple had a huge fight days before her Oct. 21 birthday. “They had it a out!” a family friend says. “She told him he need s to do something productive…He needs to get off his ass, like, yesterday.”

Not everyone’s absolutely shocked by the marital discord — on full display when the newlyweds sat in the audience at Monday’s Dancing with the Stars, showing not one iota of affection.

The pair famously married after just nine months of dating. “On some levels,” says the friend, “she feels like she made a mistake.”

I think anyone could have shared those feeling Kim.  From the outside looking in it seemed as if you just wanted to get married, and it didn’t matter to whom.  You know what they say, “you made the bed, so either sleep in it, or get the heck out”.

If your blush brush only knows pinks, rose tones or bronzer, take a break from your routine and a page from beauty maven, Kim Kardashian’s book, and try a subtle shade of coral on your cheeks.  Although we think she went a little too heavy on the under-eye concealer, we do love the coral blush, and with her Mediterranean coloring it is a great choice to compliment her skin tone.

At the 2011 Game Changers Awards in Soho, the reality mega-star wore a nude lip with peach undertones to perfectly compliment her blush.  Coral is the spot-on shade if you have medium or olive skin like Kim. If you’re fair with light hair, try a pale apricot on the apples of your cheeks, and If you have dark skin, a brighter burnt orange will suit you best.

Do you love this look on Kim?  Tell us what you think?  We’d love to hear.  BTW did you know her hair was not her own?  Yep, Miss Kim wears tracks! Apparently she was not one of those Armenians blessed with good hair.  Poor thing.  I guess you can’t have everything.
