Kim Kardashian is the ex-girlfriend of Nick Cannon and Ray J. She had intercourse on camera with the former, which is what made Kim a celebrity gossip favorite.

She stars in Keeping Up with the Kardashians. This ridiculous reality show has been on for two seasons and is centered around Kim and her attention-starved family, which includes former Olympian Bruce Jenner and an assortment of sisters with first names that begin with the letter K.

It's hard to say what makes Kim so popular, but you gotta admire how she's mastered the celebrity gossip game. Kardashian makes millions a year by simply appearing at clubs and blogging about random parties. She must love capitalism.

Kardashian has been seriously dating NFL star Reggie Bush for years. Following rumors of an engagement, the pair broke up in July 2009, only to get back together about a month later.

She appeared on season seven of Dancing with the Stars, partnered with Mark Ballas... and didn't do very well. In closing, Kim and her sisters own a clothing store. It's called "Dash."

Kim Kardashian Bares Bikini Body in FHM (10/9/2009)
Kim Kardashian poses in the latest issue of FHM. She looks mighty hot while doing it.

Kim Kardashian has revealed that she felt so certain that her ex Reggie Bush was going to propose, that she cut out photos of wedding dresses from bridal magazines before their summer break-up. The reality TV star, 28, who has been married before, had been dating the NFL player for two-and-a-half years and said their romance crumbled because they couldn't maintain a long-distance relationship. "It's hard when he's playing [in New Orleans] during the season and I'm filming my show [in Los Angeles]," Kardashian said. But the Keeping Up With The Kardashians star hinted that the relationship may not be completely over.

The two have recently been spotted together again – sparking rumours that they have reunited. She said: "You never know what will happen in the future." Kardashian also credited herself with being able to turn life's lemons into lemonade – when a sex tape that she made with singer Ray J was leaked on the internet in 2007, she said she was "devastated". "But when something negative happens, I pick myself up and move on,” she said. “And I don't make the same mistake twice."
