27-year-old socialite Khloe Kardashian- who rose to fame starring in reality series Keeping Up with the Kardashians from 2007 alongside her sisters Kourtney and Kim, half-sisters Kendall and Kylie Jenner, as well as mother Kris Jenner and stepfather Bruce Jenner – are aware the group have no specific entertainment value, but Kim believes it is “more of a challenge” to gain notoriety for being yourself.
“None of us think we have talent. None of us think we can sing or act or dance.” Khloe says.
Kim – who married Kris Humphries in August only to split from him after just 72 days of marriage – added: “I think it’s more of a challenge for you to go on a reality show and get people to fall in love with you for being you, so there is definitely a lot more pressure to be famous for being ourselves.”
Kim (31), first shot to fame after a sex tape with her with former boyfriend Ray J was made public in 2007, and her mother Kris admits it was “devastating” when the X-rated footage was released onto the internet.
“It was devastating for the whole family and you cry yourself to sleep for a few nights and then you get a really good attorney and try to make something better. ” Kris says.
Kim added: “I’ve made mistakes in my life for sure.”
Following the success of their reality show, the family have a business built an empire that includes a best-selling book Kardashian Konfidential, an array of endorsement deals and Kim, Khloe and Kourtney’s recent clothing and accessories line, the Kardashian Kollection.
