Who *ARE* the Kardashians?

[momrek06]

This is a train wreck! But as much as I dislike the women, I can't turn it off. One Sunday I watched a marathon of 6 episodes, and all I could think when the credits ran was, "Gee, I hope there's another one coming up.." (Kinda like "Thank you Sir may I have another?!")


I love Bruce Jenner in this (bless his heart, what has he done to himself?). He is so mellow and laid back, and these women certainly test him on a daily basis.

The two little girls are cute, but seem to be heading down the same track as the bigger girls.

When I first started watching I was trying to figure out where they got all their money. I didn't think BJ could have that much wealth, he really didn't do much after the Olympics. But then I was told about the Dad, who was the "Attorney to the Stars" and the OJ trial. I didn't know they were friends with Oj and Nichole, I wonder if they divorced after he took the case. She probalby got half in the divorce, then he died so the girls got the rest.

I think the mom is an idiot..JMO...

No Jenner and Kris have been married since 1991.

I had NO Idea who these people were, but now, thanks to the DIS I know....and I don't care and would never watch the show. They are just low life semi-rich people. What did Robert Kardashion die of?

Kardashian died of esophageal cancer on September 30, 2003, aged 59.

did you catch the episode where the mom is fed up with bruce's manner of dressing and brings in a fashion consultant for him. bruce finaly ends up going shopping with the guy and much to his surprise likes what he picks out for him. after the shopping trip they end up hitting a gay bar where bruce is approached by several fans not because of his olympic status but because that stinker of a movie he did with the village people decades ago is a cult classic

Are you dissin' Can't Stop the Music? That film is a classic. It also starred Steve Guttenberg, so you just KNOW it was classy!

a recent episode was pretty good when one of the 2 younger dd's hit bruce up for $50 and he decided that in order to teach her the value of money she would have to work and earn it.

I find this funny because I first heard of his sons when they were on some reality show of their own a couple of years ago. They were dependent on their step-father & used to do all kinds of things like have huge parties & ruin his stuff & all & he just seemed to keep giving them money. The boys' step-father was trying to get it all to stop & I believe the step-father & the mother divorced over this. The mother is Linda Thompson who was linked with Elvis at one time. I feel so embarrassed I know this.

This is one of those shows that I'll watch if it's on, but I don't schedule my life around it or DVR it. Anyway, I think what I like about it is that Bruce Jenner tries to keep this house full of females out of trouble and somewhat "normal" but the Mom is just as bad as the kids. He just kinda stares at them sometimes with this look on his face like "What the h$#% is going on and how did I end up in this mess??"

Maybe I should start watching it, but I never saw the appeal before.

Kim the mom was a "playboy" centerfold. She sneaked her dd's to the Carribean to do some photo's for the guy that runs, "Girls Gone Wild". Bruce found out and got on a plane to fly down and find out what was going on. He left the 2 little girls with his son Brody and Brody's manager. Kim tried to tell him the pictures would be very tasteful, whatever.

The 2 little girls got a hold of a camera and video taped themselves in the parents bedroom doing "girls gone wild-lifting up their t-shirts. Brody's manager saw them do it. He said he should be their manager instead of Brody's. When Bruce got home he saw the tape and went ballistic.

kardashian had'nt been in a courtroom (as an attny) in over 20 years when the oj circus began. he had to reactivate his lic. to practice law (had expired a few years earlier) when he volunteered his services. there's always been speculation he volunteered as council so that he could invoke attny-client privelidge and not be called on to testify in the criminal prosecution of the murders (he was the one who handled one of the items of luggage oj brought back from his trip that was reportedly heavy and full when it arrived at the airport but empty by the time it reached oj's home the same day, it was his house oj stayed in and then fled from in the bronco 'chase'; kardashian was the one who read the 'suicide' note to the media). he came from a money family and did well in his own buisness pursuits.

jenner has substantial wealth in his own right-he's been a major motivational speaker for years and owns quite a few buisnesses (i read somewhere that one sold over $450 million in one year in his exercise videos). i suspect he's along for the ride in doing the show, and the reason he has'nt been overly visable in the media for years is because he has'nt had the financial need to do so.

Is Kim still with Reggie Bush?

 

[momrek06]

And wasn't it Kardashian that came forward before his death to say he did not believe OJ at all?? If you view the verdict in the OJ case, Kardashian does not look one bit happy when the Judge read the verdict as "not guilty"....?

And wasn't it one of his girl's bedrooms that Kardashian put OJ up in the night of the infamous white bronco run!!!

Oh and Chris Jenner was at the trial everyday in support of Nicole (not OJ).

Is Kim still with Reggie Bush?

Bruce Jenner has had so much surgery he looks like a middle-age woman now.

Disboards' RayJay?

Thanks for thinking of me Sandra, but NO, not the disboards RayJay

You gave my wife a chuckle.

See ya
RayJay aka not the one in the video

 

[Aimeedyan]

Sadly, I watch the show when it's on. It's quite entertaining.

The sisters were on Chelsea Lately over the weekend and Kim said she was dating Reggie Bush.

I had to look up who they were when I first saw their show as well. Had no idea! They are famous for being famous.

 

[lucas]

In the last week or so the whole family was on Larry King.

 

[ashjohnson80]

they all look very..... shiny.

Oh
I thought I DIScovered a "celebrity" amongst the DISsers

 

[Green Tea]

If you watch E!'s The Soup, Joel McHale has told us that daughter Kim is famous for having a big "butt" and a sex tape.

That is the only context I know of the family in! Isn't the Soup great!

 

[prncssmel]

I am glad I wasn't the only one who had no idea who these people were. I kept seeing advertisements for their show, and finally, DH looked up who they were.

There was one hilarious advertisement, though, not that I think they meant it to be. One of the daughters was invited to be in Playboy; the mom was all excited and was pushing her to do it. But the girl was hesitant because after the sex tape incident, she has to be very careful about when she is naked so people will still take her seriously. Who does she think takes her seriously???
