If you’ve glanced through Kim Kardashian’s Instagram lately, then you’re probably a sad blogger who needs to question your life choices you’ve probably noticed that Kim has been really “extra” on the whole selfie thing lately. I personally think it has something to do with Kanye West repeatedly saying in interviews that he gets turned on by Kim’s photos (not so much with Kim herself) and Kim thinks she’s taking all of those selfies “for Kanye.” Well, now we know the real reason – she’s doing a coffee table book of “selfies.” The header image is allegedly the cover of said book, although I did crop the image because I don’t want to inflict her veiny boobs on you. If you really need to see the full cover, go here.
This is not a joke: After Kim Kardashian admitted to taking 1,200 selfies while on vacation in Thailand earlier this year, the reality star has inked a deal with Rizzoli publishing and is set to release a book of selfies in April 2015.
Appropriately titled Kim Kardashian Selfish, the collection will be available to grace your coffee table for only $19.95. The cover features Kanye West’s wife giving her best sexy stare into the camera with ample cleavage on display.
Kardashian, 33, explains how the “selfish” book idea came about in an episode of Keeping Up With the Kardashians, telling her family it all started when she was making a personal book for hubby West.
“I couldn’t think of what to get Kanye [for Valentine’s Day] and so I was like, ‘All guys love it when a girl sends them sexy pics,'” North West’s mom tells Brody, Kylie and Bruce Jenner while eating in Thailand, “So I had Stephanie [her assistant] get a Polaroid and we were taking photos around the entire house … making this cool book and it ended up turning out so cool we came up with this idea to do a selfie book so I’m going to make some super racy.”
When asked by her stepbrother Brody if the book will stay only for West, Kardashian hinted, “Yeah, but I might share some of them. Some of them!”
You know what I was thinking about the other day? Whatever happened to celebrities releasing their own calendars? It used to be that if you were a B-list type, you could always do your own calendar line full of sexy photos. I guess people don’t do it so much unless it’s, like, One Direction. Anyway, that’s what this reminds me of – I’m sure there’s only a limited number of people who really want to see a coffee table book full of Kim Kardashian’s selfies, but… that limited number will probably be bigger than we expect.

Gah! After reading that the Biebs made his “own” version of Dust in the Wind, I finally understand that there is nothing sacred to famewh*res. They will try to remake art in their own trashy way.
Please tell me you are joking about Bieber doing “Dust in the Wind”? Next, One Direction will be announcing their version of “Bohemian Rhapsody”.
I read it in a news site, I have not actually seen it.
Come on, a 1D version of BR would be awesome! I wanna know who’s got the falsetto for Galileo!
Not on the level of Freddie, obviously, but the boys from 1D are all talented. I don’t like when people equate 1D to Mr. Diaper Rash. There’s a world of difference between them.
As if Dust in the Wind is a good song.
For once, KK is totally appropriate and real. Naming the book “Selfish” is perfect.
Exactly.
Sean Connery, last-minute Xmas shopping in Rizzoli, dashes back to his cab clutching a large book about molluscs……..oopsh!
HAHAHAHAHAHA!
brilliant!
So true, after all, who is her target audience? The confused and misguided. I can’t see anyone paying $19.95 for a collection of Kim’s selfies, they’re all available for free all the time already. No one will buy this book.
Totally agree GoodNames!
*facepalm*
Nothing like doing something private for ur husband than deciding to make profit out of it and share it with the world
But it’s the Kardashian way! Their motto is: Anything for a buck…
The sad thing is: there will be idiots who will actually buy this book.
She has jacked her face up so badly she begins to resemble an insect. I always see “preying mantis” when I see her selfies.
It must be Photoshop thought, right? Nobody’s mouth is as wide as their chin, is it? Although who would want to look like that… then again who would buy a giant ass?? Color me confused by this chick.
This book will only do well if the FAMILY buys tons of copies to make sure that it does. And they will. They are grifters of the first order. Yikes.

+1
I see giraffe.
I don’t know whether to laugh or cry at the idiots who will buy this $20 book when you can see her vapid, dead-eyed selfies on Instagram for free.
Lol she’s scary
Unfortunately, it will probably sell really well
I’ve never even seen the show :/
I never have watched either and you are right, it will probably sell well considering her stupid app sold extremely well. I surrender. This vapid group of K’s is never going away.
I’m surprised it’s not being fast tracked for the Holidays? This book will sell out in hours, very sad. I can’t imagine Kanye would want that many photos of the same expression?
At this point doesn’t that say more about their audience than them? Sure, they’re self absorbed, vapid attention whores… But there are people out there supporting them! Watching them and buying their shit. Who are these people and how do we get them help???
Excellent point.
It won’t sell at all, like most of their products, but they’ll lie about it’s success, guaranteed.
Who is the target audience for this book? I’m confused. Who would buy this? To do what with? Have around to look at? Why would you want to repeatedly look at 100s of selfies taken by a stranger? So odd.
This is a reply to @Ag: just like her bumper-butt, most probably this book will be bought to fix the uneven leg of that lovely coffee table..just slide it under and, voila!
ha!
On one of the other gossip forums (maybe Radar Online), someone posted that the main audience for this book will be men who want to pleasure themselves. To that I will add another demographic: women between 18-30 who find the Kardashian lifestyle aspirational. Every product this family puts out is based on physical appearance.
i mean… there is free pr0n on the interwebs. why would anyone pay $20 for not even soft core? lol
OMG. I guess it would be one thing if her face didn’t look EXACTLY the same in every selfie… but it does. This is all kinds of awful.
And I think the Kardashians do calendars, right?
Just like Zoolander’s calendar!
GIGI – right behind you (again!). My first thought, after weeping for the death of publishing, was: who wants to see that pinched, unsmiling sneer 200 times? Especially looking in bathroom mirrors!
Would a guy really find that “pleasurable”? Those pictures of her big butt on vacation weren’t “selfies” so they don’t count, right?
Her face always looks painful now. Like she’s gotten so much work done it just hurts all the time.
Yeah, there was some pic where she was crying and she looked like a duck whose lips were too heavy to open. They reminded me of Courtney Stodden’s breasts.
This is hilarious. I know most of you guys really hate her and are so annoyed by her, but I just find her incredibly entertaining. I mean this is so ridiculous, it makes me laugh
If she was in a small niche market, I’d have no problem with her. I’d just roll my eyes and move on. But she’s mainstream and _shockingly_ influential. Imho, who she is and what she represents is loathsome and depressing.
I find it kind of fascinating, actually. It’s mainly young girls who follow the Kardashians, right? My guess is her fanbase likes the fantasy ride of imagining themselves, through her, as being 1) powerfully sexually attractive to guys and 2) insanely wealthy. Maybe she serves as a role model for impressionable or insecure people who see her as an aspirational model for that kind of “happiness.” It’s probably their sense of what female power is – what it looks like – how it feels. I don’t know.
It says A LOT about the culture that these people have grown to such curiously enduring prominence. I don’t know what it is, honestly. I don’t really relate to them. I do find it fascinating, though. Silly me.
Also, I actually like her for calling it “Selfish.” Tasteful she isn’t, but at least she’s self-aware.
I didn’t have any problems with the Kardashian Klan in the beggining. They make a dumb show for dumb people to get dumb laughs at. Sure, it upsets me they have no talents and make more money than I ever will, but I blame the game and not the player.
What bothers me is they actually use serious topics for publicity, talking about racism, posing with native american warbonnets… If they stayed away from all controversial topics and admitted their show has nothing to offer the world other than campy and tacky entertainment, I wouldn’t mind. But that’s not the case here.
Great answer.I can’t believe people buy this garbage.
absolutely genius business idea.
totally. she continues to rake in the dough. what the heck??
Gross.
Promoting the “art” of sell-fies! The arrogance of the talentless – please let this book bomb!
Lol. I’m sure it’ll make tons of money!
This reminds me of Madonna’s sex book but for our modern day less talented more fame whorish KK
In other words I think this is pop culture genius and I give her an extra slow clap bc I love the name and that she has no shame just saying it out right- she’s who she really loves most.
What’s she at in the main photo? Piloting a 747?
You know how 9 out of 10 ‘moody’ interiors shots feature a coffee table laden with Tom Ford, ‘Century’, Helmut Newton, Mies van der Rohe and so on? Someone could make a fortune selling ‘highbrow-ising’ covers for Kim’s book, because surely no hipster will admit to owning it!
Does the world really need this? Do we not see her damn selfies everyday as it is? She must be Guinness Book of Records worthy at this point considering this seem to be what she does with her life. IDK most new moms spend a lot of time photographing their babies and chronicling every milestone, smile, laugh, burp etc. not themselves and how many time they can make the same stupid duck face.
What the actual hell?! Why would anyone buy a book of Kim’s selfies when you can troll her Instagram and get the same photoshopped pics?
I don’t have a problem with the Kardashians making money,but I can’t stand that they try to squeeze every dime out of their “fans”. Why would you release a book of selfies when all you do is post them on twitter and instagram? These people cannot resist a quick buck.
This reminds me of a quote by one of Joan Collins’ ex-husbands. He said something to the effect that she would sell her bowel moment if she could make a dime off it. The same could be said of the Kardashians!
Ah, Joanie! She arouses conflicting responses in me. But I blank out the ‘anti’ bits because of the delight she gave, in responding to an impertinent query re the age gap between dear old Percy and herself: “If he dies, he dies!”. Mwahahaha! TKO.
This so much. I mean, the idea of filling a book with selfies is already stupid, but… we’ve already seen them? What’s the f*cking point of that?! And the worst of all is this is likely to sell fairly well.
“Mirror mirror on the wall, who’s the fairest of them all?”
Or in this case, who’s the most self-involved in the mall.
te he he
Madonna did this already I believe the book is called Sex.
Yeah, and that book became a huge collector’s item, so I hope that wasn’t meant as an insult to Kim. I know b/c my uncle dealt rare and antique books and said in a newspaper interview that that was his favorite book. Unfortunately this was in the Bible Belt and the journalist failed to mention that the reason was because he could fetch four hundred bucks for it, so he was in trouble with the neighbors for awhile. 🙂 We’ll see what happens.
I had a copy of that book.I had to sell it years ago because of my ex- boyfriends addictions and I had no money.I don’t think her book will be anything like Madonna’s.People will buy it.That is a given.Madonna’s had a high profile photographer and famous people in it.It was also very explicit in some of the pictures.I don’t think you will see Kim hitchhiking or pumping gas topless.She thinks she is American royalty and is above that all.Even though she got famous for a sex tape.
Madonna’s book had some decent art direction though, and elaborate lighting/costumes. My brother brought me a copy from London. I later sold it on eBay for a lot of money, lol. Kim’s will be in the bargain bin in a few weeks! Also as to what happened to calendars….they went the way of watches. Never see anyone under thirty wearing one. Everything we need is in our phone 🙂
I am old school.I have a calendar and write notes what I need to do for the day.I use my cell just because you need them now.Actually I really don’t like the way the cell has taken over.I don’t take pictures of myself pouting in a mirror and always turn it off when I am eating out or with friends.Look what the selfie has brought us.A Kim Kardashian book devoted to just that.
Yeah, that sounds about right.
I hope nobody out there is pathetic enough to actually buy this
Ah, you’d be surprised how many pathetic morons there are out there. My guess is that the book does very, very well.
Two things:
1. The publisher forgot to add two words to the book title: Narcissistic Egomaniac.
2. If this book becomes a best seller, society–as we know it–cannot be saved.
She’s got game. Queen of the selfies. Of course!!!! Pop culture highjack. Hahaha
I don’t blame Kim for this, I blame the idiots who will pay $20 for it. If no one bought it she wouldn’t release it! Why are people bullying this sh*t???
I’m surprised it’s only $20… Rizzoli books usually cost a mint.
1200 selfies on one vacation??!? Jesus h, how would you have time to enjoy your vacation, and who would even admit to that let alone publish such a stupid book? She makes the same dead eyed pose in all of her pictures! She’s obsessed with herself and it really annoys me that she’s made so much freaking money.
I want to know how long the vacation was. I recently went on a two-week vacation and only got up to 560 pictures (only three of which were of myself) and I felt like I spent the whole time with the camera in hand. Maybe the camera takes a boatload of pictures at the same time, like how certain firearms can discharge hundreds of bullets in a minute. I’m hoping.
What was so appalling and incestuous, and gross was that I saw an episode of KUWTK (out of boredom), and Brody said that he got turned on by the sight of Kim’s naked body. WTF? She was taking selfies for this coffee book, and her half brother walked in on her in a sheer, skin-tight gown with nothing underneath, and he said he got a half- chub off her. Gross. And everyone was like encouraging the turned on behavior of this man. Disgusting. Now I know why Brody Jenner didn’t go to his sister’s wedding. He was jus jealous that he couldn’t marry and fu(k Kim himself. Super gross.
Brody is her step-brother so not actually incest-they weren’t children who grew up together. Not as ‘Flowers in the Attic’ as you are making it sound.
Sorry, any way you slice it, it’s very incestuous to me.
Agree with Leaflet.I have a half brother that I grew up as a brother.It would turn my stomach if he looked at me that way.Gross.This family will do anything for ratings and money.Even Bruce’s kids from his other marriage are willing to be a part of it.
Step brother and half brother are not the same thing.
But…they aren’t selfies. At least many of them aren’t. I watched the Thailand episodes and Kim has a whole team of people helping her take these photos. Isn’t the entire point of a selfie that it is something you take yourself or yourself? Or am I completely off here?
She was such a pretty girl until she started messing with her face.
I was just thinking that this would be the perfect gag gift for Dirty Santa, so if it sells really well lets just assume everyone had the same idea.
Can someone tell me what she’s done to her face that it’s always in trout lips mode? It looks ridiculous and all the Lardashian women have it. Do they think it looks sexy?
I do not understand how she thinks sucking her cheeks constantly to pretend she has a thin sculptured face in pictures looks good in her mind. First of all, we all know she has a full, round and somewhat chubby face so her attempts are very obvious and makes her look like a 15 year old teenager trying to be sexy and failing miserably and second, when she sucks her cheeks like that there is a weird line across both cheeks that shows that she has had some kind of cosmetic procedure.
I swear it seems that Kim K thinks she looks like a tall thin Victory’s Secret model when she looks herself in the mirror, her delusion prevents her from seeing her real dumpy hobbit self. Get over yourself Kim K. your just an average looking woman with enought money to buy expensive cloths and pay for the best makeup artist and cosmetic procedures, without that people would think she was the hotel maid.
Every pic I see of Kim doing that ‘sculpted face’ thing makes me think she’s imagining herself as Victoria Beckham (whom I dig very much, btw) . Mincing about in vertiginous heels, po-faced, is not enough to effect *that* transformation, sweetie!
She’s such a dork.
This is just great..it’s a” curated” book of Selfies from the last creature I ever want to see again. When I was 6, I was stungall over my body by a Portuguese Man-o-war. I would rather have that happen again than look at this plasticene hogwart’s pictorial love letter to herself. I am so done with these people.Goodbye, Frankendashians.
Ah finally some truth in advertising
Quite apropos.
We all know there are idiots who will buy this but what kind of publishing company gives the okay for this? This is what our world has come to.
One word: money.
Can we just take a moment to talk about how Kims sister Kylie celebrated her 17th birthday by dancing on a table, drinking shots given to her by 20 something year old rappers and having a penis shaped cake. Seriously, what is with this family. They seem to have zero self respect for themselves and don’t care about anything other than having fun and maintaining their perception of physical perfection. It is wrong on so many levels. This selfie book just shows how pathetic they are for money & attention. For some reason though, the book reminds me of when Kim made that private calender for Reggie and then Kris “accidentally” released it and Kim and rob ran round shops buying every copy.
The jokes write themselves.
this is like an SNL skit
In 10,000 years aliens will land and decide that Kim K sums up the “culture” of our times. Klassy familes bring up klassy kids who contribute to the Klassiness of America.
Oh, please. I can’t take it anymore.
Most mothers take pics of their babies, not of themselves. How can anyone be so self absorbed. I’m just through.
Isn’t there some Facial Ad Kim blocking app we can put on our pc’s so we never have to see her? 😀
GAH THIS IS SO DUMB. This is the definition of narcissistic. I feel dumber having read about this. 🙁 Can’t stand her!
just when i think she cannot be any more reprehensible and i could not find her any more soulless, i see the chinchilla skin rug photo. as an owner/rescuer of chinnies, it just makes me wanna hurl. she really has not one redeeming quality. i hope the immoderate plastic surgery catches up to her fast/goes wrong and she loses the only thing she cares about.
The title of the book is perfect!!! LOL.
I just wonder who’s the idiots who will buy this book?
Bet it’s the same idiots who downloaded her silly app game.
