Oprah hangs out with the kardashians

June 15th, 2012 | By love not hate

 

It has been an annus horribilus for the  Kardashians.

Kim’s short-lived marriage has called into  question their thirst for publicity, and Khloe’s husband Lamar has had a  difficult time as his basketball career stalled.

But what better way to redress the balance  than by an appearance alongside the queen of chat – Oprah Winfrey.

Kim, 31, was quick to post a picture of  herself  alongside TV royalty in what is surely the ultimate seal of  approval of their ubiquitous fame.

Clearly excited she tweeted: ‘Ummmm no big  deal Oprah just left my  mom’s house! #DreamComeTrue.’

Pregnant sister Kourtney also tweeted:  ‘Surreal day being interviewed by the queen  Oprah. Not many words to explain  how incredible the experience was  except for AHHH! Major moment.’

Oprah, 58, was apparently just as impressed  with the reality TV family, whom she surprisingly said she knew very little  about.

She later posted a picture of herself with  the whole family as she sat down with them at ‘momager’ Kris Jenner’s home.

Kim was joined by sisters Kourtney, Khloe,  brother Rob, Kourtney’s partner Scott Disick, Khloe’s husband Lamar Odom, mum  Kris, half-sisters Kylie, Kendall and step-father  Bruce Jenner to film the  interview for Oprah’s Next Chapter,  airing Sunday on OWN.

It is  the first appearance for  the reality TV queen and her infamous family, and  Oprah admitted that she had a lot of catching up to do, ahead of the  interview.

 

She revealed on her Facebook page: ‘I had  never met them, nor seen the  show. I did a full on “Kardashian Kram” in  preparation, watching major  shows from every season.’

It seems that Oprah may be a bit late  catching up with the family who have become something of an institution in the  US. But she said:’I genuinely wanted to know why they have become a cultural  phenomenon, why so many  people love to watch their every move and why so many  others love to  hate them.

She added: ‘Are they completely ego centered?  Are they really ‘famous for being famous’ or is there something more?’

Oprah is clearly as keen as the next person  to get to the bottom of Kim’s failed marriage to NBA player Kris Humphries.

Kim’s justification of her 72-day marriage  Oprah intriguingly said ‘leveled me.’

Typically she said the Kardashians held  nothing back. But she felt that the interview  gleaned ‘another level of  forthrightness and honesty.’

Kardashian sisters sizzle in lingerie for clothing line campaign

September 1st, 2011 | By love not hate

Many critics continue to dismiss the Kardashians as simply famous for being famous.

But one respected figure has jumped on the bandwagon – world renowned photographer Annie Leibovitz has shot the sisters for an ad campaign to promote their clothing line for department store Sears.

Kim, Kourtney and Khloe posed for the famed artist scantily clad in lingerie in newly released shots.
Kourtney, 32, dons a skimpy colourful design while youngest Khloe, 27, wears a pretty pink lace basque and suspender stockings.

The top secret photoshoot was completed back in May, and Kim gushed about working with Leibovitz on her blog at the time.
She wrote: ‘What an amazing day! We shot with the living legend herself, Annie Leibovitz! I swear this was such an eye opening day. She shot our Kardashian Kollection for Sears ad campaign!

‘I can’t give away any details, but we have never been shot like this before and it was soooo fun shooting with Kourtney and Khloe… Mason even made a cameo!’

The trio clearly made a lasting impression on the photographer, who is now throwing them a bash at her studio in New York next week to celebrate the Kardashian Kollection clothing line.
Leibovitz is known for her love of celebrity photography and has snapped rock and business royalty with commissions from Michael Jackson to Bill Gates to real royalty, The Queen.

The 61-year-old famously photographed John Lennon and Yoko Ono in his last photo shoot. He was shot and killed just five hours later.

In the photos with the New York based photographed the Kardashian girls lounge on a sofa clad all in black and in another strut towards the camera in leopard-print pieces.

The Kardashian Kollection was launched in Los Angeles a fortnight ago and hit stores on August 25.

In addition to their collection for Sears and various fragrances and other products, the family continue to expand their retail empire.

They announced this week that another boutique, named Kardashian Khaos will be opening later this year in Las Vegas. The family already have three branches of their DASH franchise in Calabasas, New York and Miami.
