Kim is Real Famous..

The Kardashians are an interesting group because i have always wondered why they were famous.  Almost every celebrity can trace their fame to a particular achievment or relation that "justifies" their popularity.  With the Kardashians, Kim in particular, it is more difficult pinpoint the reason for her fame.  I would put her in the same category Paris Hilton becuase she is really famouse, yet i have no idea what they do for a living.  Then, I watched the first episode of Kim's reality tv show.  It became very clear that the only reason she became famouse was because of a sex tape she made with a different celebrity.  Her mom saw the oppotunity to capitalize on a negative situation and they did just that. 
Because she was made famous by a sex tape she made, she started out as a celetoid.  She achives stardom becuase of a particular event that was not talent based.  Over the past few years she has tranformed into a celebrity because she has managed to turn herself into a brand that people are interested in.  Looking at one of her friends Paris Hilton, it seems like they went through a similar tranformation.  Paris was significantly more popular after she made her sex tape, which begs the question... Was there a level of intention with Kims tape?
