Am I surprised? Not in the least.
Anyone who has ever kept up with the Kardashians could see this was
just another publicity stunt.
As the cameras followed the couple in the build up to their
fairytale wedding, it was shockingly apparent Kim Kardashian and
her supposed true love Kris Humphries barely knew each other.
But am I impressed? Yes.
Kimmy K reportedly scammed a cool $18 million out of her wedding
and related endorsement deals.
The event itself was reported to have cost another $10 million
(none of which, one imagines, she paid for).
The divorce papers were filed 72 days after the August 20
extravaganza. Which means the soon-to-be former Mrs Humphries
earned an astounding $250,000 a day. No one can deny that's
impressive work.
And Kim is all about work. In the lead up to her divorce
announcement - and even after the news was out - Kim was busy
plugging her wares on Twitter. Not so much as a frowny faced
emoticon to mark the shock news.
Her two sisters took to Twitter to express their sadness - and
berate the negative Twits coming through. But Kim was all
business.
Here in Melbourne (where I am to interview Sarah Jessica Parker,
which you can watch on Breakfast tomorrow morning) Kim was due to
make an appearance at the Melbourne Cup.
She cancelled that commitment (seems to be her thing at the moment)
but will still be travelling down under to launch her new handbag
line on Wednesday.
Like I say, she's all about the business.
A business driven by her mother Kris Jenner and based on not a hell
of a lot. A sex tape. An impressively large derriere. And of
course, those infernal reality shows.
But here's the most impressive and surprising part of the whole
thing. Kim Kardashians reported fee to appear at the Melbourne Cup
- for one hour - is $250,000.
Sarah Jessica Parker - A-list actress and fashion icon - is
reportedly earning less than half of that - picking up
$100,000.
On what planet, in which galaxy does Kim Kardashian has more star
power than SJP?
I suppose the same planet where any one believed that the
Kardashian Humphries was anything other than a carefully
orchestrated business deal.
