Here’s a no-brainer about how former “it” girl Paris Hilton hates that her old friend, Kim Karadshian, is now much more famous and in-demand than she is. I remember back in 2006, when Paris had that “Stars are Blind” sort-of hit, and was still friends with Kim, who would tag along with her to photo ops and events. Then in February, 2007, Kim’s sex tape with Ray-J came out and Paris is said to have snubbed Kim by not inviting her to her 26th birthday party in Vegas. Now Paris is seeing Kim’s career skyrocket while she struggles to earn appearance fees. Paris is pissed, because she think she taught Kim how to work a red carpet and stick her name on cheap slave labor product lines:

While the official word from Paris Hilton’s camp denies she has anything but admiration for former BFF Kim Kardashian’s meteoric rise into the popular culture stratosphere, I’m hearing the hotel heiress is envious of her pal’s amazing financial success.

“It was Paris who really showed Kim the ropes,” said a longtime observer and acquaintance of both women. “Thanks to Paris, Kim learned how to work a red carpet, develop a reality TV show and — most important — turn herself and her entire family into a major marketing brand, now worth millions.”

According to the source, Hilton is somewhat irked that Kardashian is paid far more than she is for special appearances and overall makes more now from her various endorsement deals and the Kardashians’ multiple reality shows.

Meanwhile, Hilton continues to work on the reality series she is hoping to launch with Charlie Sheen’s estranged wife, Brooke Mueller.

Ooh I like that last line about how Paris is “hoping to launch” that reality show with Brooke Mueller. That suggests that it hasn’t even been picked up yet, which amuses the hell out of me.

Kim didn’t get any tutelage from Paris that the rest of us couldn’t have picked up from reading a few tabloids a month. All she did was follow Paris’ sex tape, reality show, baby-voiced T&A template. We were all sick of Paris anyway and needed some new mind numblingly vapid family to take our minds off the real world. That reminds me that Kim’s 15 minutes have got to be just about up. I pray that some new blood comes to take her place and that Kim and her countless sisters don’t continue to try and pass off dumb stunts and TMI as entertainment.

Look at how pretty Kim Kardashian used to be before she’d even had a nose job.
