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?
