Kourtney and Khloe have a new show debuting on E!, but let’s not
forget Kim.
It’s probably more of a rhetorical question by now: Why, exactly,
are the Kardashian sisters famous?
Truly, if Kim Kardashian weren’t the offspring of the late O.J. Simpson
attorney, Robert Kardashian, would anyone have noticed or cared when
her sex tape with Ray-J surfaced? Probably not.
No matter. Once America embraced Kim and the rest of the Kardashian
Klan through their reality show, there was no turning back. Now, her
sisters are getting their turn in the spotlight. Kourtney and Khloe
Take Miami premieres at 10 p.m. Sunday on E!, so it seems like a good
time to subject the gorgeous Armenian beauties to a Film.com Fever
Chart, which charts the highs and lows of our favorite celebrities.
See pictures of the Kardashian sisters!
Editor’s note: Join Kourtney and Khloe live for a series-premiere
Twitter viewing party on Aug. 16 at eonline.com. See what other fans
have to say about the show and share your own reactions!
Keeping Up With the Kardashians premieres on E!, showcasing Kim and
introducing Khloe, Kourtney and a bunch of other kids whose names
begin with K, as well as mother, Kris. Kool! Temperature: 98.6 degrees.
Khloe gets a DUI. With four million siblings and step-siblings, you
think she could have called a family member — or a cab. Temperature:
31 degrees.
Kim’s goods had already been on display in the sex tape, so posing
for Playboy in December 2007 seemed like a step up on the scale of
classiness. She accessorizes with big, bold jewelry. Temperature:
112 degrees.
The sisters, Kris and step-father/plastic surgery experiment Bruce
Jenner compete against Deion Sanders and kin on Celebrity Family
Feud. Survey says: They got creamed by 299 points. Temperature:
40 degrees.
Khloe serves three hours of a 30-day jail sentence on her DUI
charge before being released due to overcrowding in jail. Being a
sorta-celebrity has its sorta-perks. Temperature: 88 degrees.
With past and present eyesore contestants like Cloris Leachman
and Steve Wozniak, Dancing With the Stars scores kutie-pie Kim as a
contestant on the show. We were stoked — that is, until she actually
danced. It made the Family Feud appearance seem like a successful
audition for MENSA. Temperature: 26 degrees.
Khloe joins the ranks of Pamela Anderson, Alicia Silverstone and
Dennis Rodman, posing nude for one of PETA’s "I’d rather go naked than
wear fur" ads. That’s not bad company to keep for someone who rode
her sister’s coattails to fame. And she looks really good doing it,
too. Temperature: 124 degrees.
Kim’s role in Disaster Movie earns her a nomination for a 2009 Razzie
Award. Perhaps she should stick to modeling. Temperature: 10 degrees.
Tired of his alleged philandering, flirtatious and hard-partying ways,
Kourtney breaks off her engagement to Scott Disick. It was bound to
happen before her move to sexy Miami, anyway. You don’t take sand to
the beach, ya dig? Temperature: 112 degrees.
Khloe gets fired from The Celebrity Apprentice after Donald Trump finds
out about her year-old DUI, even though other celebs had performed
much worse than her. Temperature: 13 degrees.
The sisters’ new Miami store, Dash, gets hit with graffiti just before
its opening. The following day, the L.A. Dash store was defaced with
a scrawled message that read, "We love you Kim." So, the first was
just a tag, while the latter seemed like a shy, loving gesture (like
when a boy kicks you in the shins at recess because he has a crush
on you). Cold + hot = lukewarm. Temperature: 65 degrees.
Ads for the sisters’ new show begin to air, showing, among other
things, Kourtney making out with another girl in the bar, which
might be the most interesting thing she’s done onscreen to date. Sex
sells! Temperature: 135 degrees.
The three sisters use their lovely smiles to endorse a tooth-whitening
pen called "Idol White." Khloe says: "I hate going to the
dentist. Absolutely hate it. Having a teeth whitening product I can
apply at home means everything to me." Hopefully, she still gets her
teeth cleaned. Temperature: 90 degrees.
While Kim’s relationship with Reggie Bush seemed fairly durable, the
duo call it quits in July. We’re sure that A) Kim will bounce back,
and B) that she’ll be getting tons more attention in magazines in
tabloids, who will speculate on her relationship status every time
she’s seen within five feet of a man. Temperature: 136 degrees.
Kourtney reveals she is pregnant with her first child, due around
Christmas time. Lucky for her, she still has plenty of time to pick
out more names that start with K — and this will definitely up
her popularity with paparazzi. Get ready to see Kourtney baby bump
pictures in all the tabloids. Kongrats! Temperature: 99 degrees.
