Kim Kardashian sure knows how to make a whole lot out of nothing.

The alleged Hollywood socialite is gracing the cover of Playboy
magazine’s December issue, which hit newsstands this week.

On the outside of the magazine, the Armenian beauty and tabloid
mainstay is adorned in a red, stringy satin get-up accentuated by red
high heels – perfect tie-in for the holiday season. Inside, she strikes
a myriad of poses, which exposes her full and abundant endowments.

"It is not as revealing as some people might want," she said in a
recent interview. "I keep it classy … It was something that I was
really nervous about doing at first."Kardashian is the daughter of
late OJ Simpson attorney Robert Kardashian, and the ex-wife of music
producer Damon Thomas of The Underdogs. Since gaining popularity
as a "best-friend’ of over-exposed hotel heiress Paris Hilton, the
voluptuous pin-up girl, professionally known as a fashion stylist for
R&B stars, has been romantically linked to a slew of sought after
black celebrity bachelors, including football star Reggie Bush and
actor Nick Cannon.

The commercial release of ‘Kim K Superstar,’ her raunchy sex tape
with hip-hop soul crooner Ray-J, earlier this year, propelled her
into the stratosphere of quasi-celebrity scandal.

She sued adult video giant Vivid Entertainment and halted the sale
of the best-selling DVD.

On Oct. 14, E! Entertainment Television debuted ‘Keepin Up with
the Kardashians,’ a far-fetched reality series following on the
day-to-day dilemmas of the sexpot’s family dynamic. Surprisingly,
the story-line – which revolves around her over-the-top "momager"
Kris Jenner and mild-mannered, conservative step dad Bruce Jenner
trying to keep up with their son young son Robert and five outrageous
daughters – ranked as the number one show among women (ages 18 to 34)
in its Sunday night premiere timeslot.

After four weeks on the air, the series has reached more than 13
million total viewers, a network rep confirmed.

Today, E! announced the second season pick-up for the hit half-hour
reality series, which is produced by ‘American Idol’ host Ryan
Seacrest.

"Viewers have clearly fallen for the Kardashians," network Executive
Vice President Lisa Berger said in a statement. "This family’s
one-of-a-kind dynamics and hilarious antics has made the series a
fantastic addition to our prime time line-up."
