Kim Kardashian plays coy about her new Kanye West romance/publicity campaign

I hate that we’re now talking about Kim Kardashian and Kanye West. In the past, I’ve been happy to discuss the rumors, and I genuinely thought Kanye and Kim would make a good couple. But now that they’re officially together… I’m disappointed. This relationship roll-out is crazy. Wednesday night, Kim and Kanye were spotted out on a date. Then Kanye’s new single came out (“Theraflu”) where he lyrically said he loved Kim. In a new interview with Today, Kim talks about Kanye, but she’s famewhores her way into a half-assed denial that Kanye loved her while she was married. Whatever.

She also says it’s “ridiculous” to say that she got married just for ratings. While I think she’s full of it in general, I will say that I don’t think Kim got married ONLY for ratings. I think she just wanted to be married – I said that at the time, and I still think that. She was immature, she wanted the fairy tale, she thought Kris Humphries would be the bland choice. Whatever. She also talks about the fur issue, and she makes a decent point: wearing and buying fur isn’t illegal. Enough.

Getting back to the Kanye thing… there are about a million new stories about them. Bullet points?

*Their first big public date was to The Hunger Games. Then they went to the interactive “theater experience” Sleep No More for “hours” and then they went to see a band play. Apparently, Kim and Kanye have been hanging out a lot while Kim has been in NYC, and Kim is finally ready to give a go now. After they spent the night together, they got lunch. It was epic. Life & Style also has a breakdown of their activities here.

*People Mag’s sources say that Kim and Kanye “have just now started dating” after keeping it “light” for a while. Kanye is a gentleman too – he helps Kim into her coat, and he looks at her a lot.

*Page Six has a lengthy piece this morning about the seemingly contractual agreement that Kim and Kanye have made to “help push record sales and repair her reputation.” Even Kanye’s label didn’t know he was dropping a new song, and Page Six refers to the whole romance as a “publicity campaign”. You can read the story here.

*I need to know if this Media Takeout photo is of Kanye and Kim. I really need to know.

    Kim K. koy?! What a koncept!

    • Michael says:

      Hoes be just hoes!

      • autumndaze says:

        Kaiser, you might want to tag that mediatakeout photo as NSFW.
        And I think that Kim is in a contract with Kanye. It is a win-win in the PR game with many currently believing Kanye to be gay, and Kim needing a diversion of any kind from her “brand” melt-down. It won’t last long.
        (And no, there is nothing wrong with being gay, or choosing to be public or private with the information. But some insecure people in the industry will go to great lengths to prove the opposite to the public..)

  2. Astrid says:

    I had hoped she would shrivel in obscurity but I suppose we’ll have her and her sordid life for a while longer.

  3. lucy2 says:

    They deserve each other. I hope they make each other miserable.
    In the past week, the Today show had Sarah Palin co-host, an interview with Octomom, and now with Kim? I’m officially done watching that show.

  4. ladybert62 says:

    If I were a man, I would never consider going to bed with her after all the men that she has bedded – wonder how many STDs she has.

    And of course that is not even taking into account her fame-whoring ways.

    yuk.

  5. Launicaangelina says:

    Damn it! I hate that I’m even writing this but…. I get them as a couple. Kim and Kris, I never got – at all – but this makes sense. Damn it… *SMH*

  6. NYC_girl says:

    OK, I can’t stand her (or him). Can I distract everyone for a minute with a totally different topic? I saw “Salmon Fishing in the Yemen” yesterday, and while it probably won’t win any awards, it was very sweet. Ewan McGregor was so incredibly gorgeous, and surpasses Fassy IMO. I always thought he was cute but in this movie I was totally overwhelmed. Maybe it was listening to his gorgeous Scottish accent for two hours. Or seeing him in dripping wet after a swim in only boxers. Girls, do yourself a favor and see this movie!!

  7. Helen says:

    That pic over at MTO is hilarious! I need it to be the real deal, haha.

    • Mo_cheeks says:

      There is another pic today on MTO. Looks like same couple different angle / you can see the red underwear around her knee. Btw- hate the socks he’s wearing. Gross!

      • Sisi says:

        yeah I noticed the socks too!

        Would Kanye keep his socks on? Especially for a photo? Those were the first things that I thought when I saw the pic

    • searching4grace says:

      I had to look, too. I don’t know what’s wrong with me. It cracked me up that they stopped to take a photo AND that he still had his socks on!

    • kibbles says:

      The bodies look like it could be the two of them. Those look like Kim’s butt implants.

  8. LeeLoo says:

    Ugh, if these two breed they are going to have the most a–hole children ever. I would pity future generations. Sad thing is, Kim will never do any better than Kanye so it probably will come to that.

  9. Bad Gal Addiction says:

    Just because it isn’t illegal doesn’t mean it’s right.

    She has no morals or dignity – ya still married, stupid HOE!

  10. mel2 says:

    So much for wanting to keep her next relationship private. She is such a media whore.

  11. Franny says:

    She looks very pretty in that top picture. She should always wear her hair like that.

    The thing about that NSFW picture that I looked at yesterday at home haha, is that it looks like…the kind that can’t make babies, if you know what I mean. The angles are way to high to make babies that way.

    • paola says:

      Ahahah! Asli you cracked me up! 😀

    • paola says:

      Ahaha! thannk Asli! I had a pretty inspiring week.. but thanks a lot!
      p.s. i always check out your comments too and 99% of the times you crack me up. i consider you a true friend by now 😉

  12. Tiffany27 says:

    That pic!!
    MY EYES!!!! Gross, gross, gross.
    Kanye would be that dude to stop mid pump to take a pic of himself. Douche.

    • Jennifer12 says:

      Bahahaha!! Please tell me she isn’t dumb enough to let more of her sex partners take photos of her. Oh. Well, yeah.

      • paola says:

        I think she’s starting a collection of pics! And mama Kris will be right there helping counting them

  13. QoFE says:

    That dude is wearing socks in that MTO photo….hahaha 🙂

  14. marie says:

    they’re both gross but how is this supposed to help her image.

  15. Justine says:

    They are a perfect match and truly deserve each other. I can’t believe this is really happening.

  16. FinallyFr33 says:

    I saw that photo on Media Takeout last year and IMMEDIATELY thought it was Kim!!!

  17. Dawn says:

    Please don’t insult my intelligence. Of course she got married for the ratings, why else? This pos is capable of loving only herself and maybe her mother. And it’s not like she is some innocent little girl who watched all her little girlfriends getting married so she had to too. No she is in her thirties and was married before! Please stop giving this pos the benefit of the doubt. It’s just one lie after another with her and her family and yet they are still here. And that is because people keep on believing her; I mean come on everything about her is a lie from her nose to her ass to her hair. I hope Kris Humphries rips her apart in court and I hope people who believed in her will finally come to their senses and realize they’ve been had by one of the greatest liars of the ages and made this a-moral whore a millionaire on top of it. God when will people get over these awful untalented mess of a family?

  18. OXA says:

    I see a theme for the soundtrack of their romancity tour, it starts out with Theraflu and ends in Ex-Lax. Anyone want to add their suggestions to fill in the soundtrack?

  19. Emma says:

    I called publicity stunt before page six. There are many rumors about Kanye West and I don’t buy this for a second.

  20. jane says:

    The thing is the “harships” that she went through, she brought it upon herself. Try dealing with things that are out of your control like the loss of your child, not that I wish that upon anyone.

  21. Green_Eyes says:

    Yes, LOVE Kayne style.. When you love a Publicity hound enough to name a Song after them that sounds like a cure to an illness..

    “Thereflu”
    “Thermaflu”

    take 2 tablets after so many partners… Just saying, her history gross!

  22. Rux says:

    “He looks at her a lot” MASSIVE EYEROLL HERE!

  23. Samigirl says:

    I agree. Unless you are going to catch the poor animal, skin it, and do whatever else to get the fur, then it should be illegal. Of course, some people may say the same about eating meat, but I’m a meat eater, so I won’t go there 😉

    Oh, and that NSFW picture? That totally looks like Kim K’s body :-/ If it is her…you’d think she would have learned her lesson the first time! Oh wait, the first time made her “famous”….

    • MorticiansDoItDeader says:

      Morning @Asli @Sammi

      @Sami, It does look a lot like her body, but I think her ass is a bit dimply. That photo may be too grainy to see, but THAT butt looks entirely too smooth.

      And I can’t believe I wasted the last 5 minutes of my life looking at a photo of Kim K’s ass and writing a paragraph about it. LOL

    • Samigirl says:

      Good morning, Mort! You crack me up, lady. And you’re right, her behind is pretty…lumpy (for lack of a better word). I remember being shocked when I saw that picture of her full behind in a magazine (covered in paint, maybe?) and she wasn’t smooth, at all.

    • paola says:

      i don’t think that is KK, her boobs are way bigger than that.. and are you sure she wouldn’t want to put her face in the picture?! it doesn’t sound kim kardashian to me!!

  24. atorontogal says:

    I wonder what time she has to get up the morning after to put that face back on!

    • Green_Eyes says:

      I was thinking the same thing. I used to wear not even 1/2 that much & it took forever…granted I have illnesses that affected my hands.. But that much makeup, she must get up very early!

  25. Jennifer12 says:

    I got to read Lainey Gossip while home this week and according to her, they’ve been at it a while and she is finally being allowed to roll out the relationship to the media. It sounds like him: control freak, narcissistic tool. Actually it sounds like her, too. Please tell me she isn’t stupid enough to let more guys take pictures during the act.

    • Green_Eyes says:

      That is a rhetorical question right? After all she already had a sex tape of supposedly Golden Showers… Maybe now she’s thinking stills will raise her to Super Stardom level & all will be forgiven about Kris H. Never say never regarding KK

    • skuddles says:

      Oh yeah, she is definitely stupid enough – and then some…

  26. Agnes says:

    OF COURSE that photo is of them. they’re both fame whores who would do anything for money. haha. and i love that the guy in the pic is wearing socks. haha

  27. sundaygal says:

    Wait…is it Mardi Gras, Kanye? WTF is he wearing???

  28. Blue says:

    How is this relationship supposed to help either of them? He’s an a-hole and she’s an idiot, liar, famewhore. There is no repairing that. She’s also still MARRIED. So much for waiting a long time to date again and being more private.
    The quality of women he has dated has been going down since his engagement ended.

  29. ladybert62 says:

    Hi Asli: I agree 100%.

  30. margo says:

    PLEASE!!
    Kanye could NOT be in a relationship with her-(TRUST THAT!)
    This is all for PR!
    SHE is not HIS type…unless she has something tucked away, he won’t look twice!

  31. hillbillygirl45 says:

    Well, whoopty-frikkin’ do! These two arrogant a**holes deserve each other. I just hope that wherever they stay/sleep/whatever, there are PLENTY of mirrors, cause, you know neither one of these jack-asses can go 5 minutes without looking at themselves. “Mirror mirror on the wall, who’s the biggest fame-ho of all?”

  32. paola says:

    So..She really likes them rich, black, with no taste in women and with their name starting with K.
    to me sounds a match made in heaven: spoilt Ho meets a-hole

  33. Kattttt says:

    I’ve never been sure about Kanye’s ‘gayness’. He did a friend of mine when he was in England at one point and she said it was fine though he stopped to shower a number of times… The mediatakeout picture I kind of think is them but then Kim’s ass is bigger than that and I’m not sure Kanye is that slim. Maybe it’s the angles?

  34. Gene Parmesan says:

    Isnt she still married?? i swear y’all hoes stay winning!!

  35. jl says:

    most boring interview ever!

  36. gee says:

    LOOOVVEEE Serafina! Kimye, not so much.

  37. Telling it says:

    She’s so boring and always gives the most generic answers. You notice no one in her family gave her one sensible piece of advice to try living with her new husband for a month without ten cameras in their face. Of course not because why would you have a husband in that family if you can’t throw him on TV and make money off it.

  38. carrie says:

    i can’t wait to see Kanye in the Trashdashian tv show

  39. Jezi says:

    I don’t think it’s Kim. Look at the pic released today, the girl is wearing wraps on her nails and I never saw Kim wearing her nails like that. She always has short nails that looked unwrapped.

    • hunter says:

      ^^ this. I noticed that also.

      Plus her ass is bigger, but the nails – that’s what has me unconvinced.

  40. palermo says:

    How many times did we see this dummy crying on tv about the embarassment of her leaked videos/pictures and now she’s doing it again? She truly is brain dead, dumber than a rock. He is so fugly in the face and another idiot.

  41. Justine says:

    Can a person look any dumber than Kanye with his ape-like face? OMG, I can’t stand this person. He looks dumb and he is dumb.

  42. dahlia1947 says:

    I don’t think there’s any need to play coy, radaronline caught you.

    In the same outfit she wore the night before, Kim Kardashian was snapped slinking out of Kanye West’s NYC apartment Thursday morning and RadarOnline has the photos of her walk of shame!

    PHOTOS: Kim Kardashian’s Walk Of Shame

    Kim and Kanye saw The Hunger Games together Wednesday night and it seems like she spent the night at his apartment since she was wearing the same tank top, leather pants and black heels the next morning as she left with her sunglasses on and head down.

  43. dahlia1947 says:

    That pic from mediatakeout could be them. The huge a@# hangs off to the sides like hers does and the skin color is the same as hers.

    I would not be a bit surprised if it was. Put that together w the Walk of Shame pictures and there you go.

    • MorticiansDoItDeader says:

      How would you even guess what color her skin is under all that orange?

      The census should make a new box to check off for people like her, Xtina, and the Jersey Shore people. Next to white, black etc., it should also read orange. They’re an entirely new race of self absorbed people that should be taxed at an increased rate for their stupidity.

  44. skuddles says:

    Well on a positive note, at least Kimbo is getting back to her one true talent – making gross, homemade pr0n with creepy douchebags. My Mama always did say – do what you do best! 😉

  45. LEM says:

    OK so I’ve viewed the most recent MTO picture that is ridiculously graphic and I don’t think its K&K because (as evidence that I read WAY too many Kardashian gossip blog posts) the chick in the photo has fake acrylic nails and in EVERY SINGLE picture of Kim in the last few years, she’s always had natural or natural looking nails. Circumstantial? Definitely but I’m going with negative on these pics being of K&K.

    I’m going to go hang my head in shame for the next 2 years for knowing that much about Kim Kardashian’s manicure preferences.

    • hunter says:

      I am also ashamed of this knowledge & I don’t even watch her show, just see the pap shots.

      • ZenB!tch says:

        I only know her from the internet but I too know way too much about her.

        My sole defense is that I love drag queen make up so I keep trying to duplicate it without going the full RuPaul.

  46. honestiago says:

    Oh god, I can’t believe I have to agree with KK of all people about something. (re: fur)

    I don’t see why people don’t understand that they can’t force their opinions on fur onto those of us who think wearing fur is perfectly fine. And why are the Kardashians the accidental spokespeople for this? Ugh. I feel like I have to take a shower now.

    /runs away from inevitable ensuing wank

  47. dorothy says:

    So she’s with Kanye now? Kris must figure it’s time for another public relationship for Kim. Don’t like Kanye, but don’t wish anyone that drama.

  48. the original bellaluna says:

    Like I said yesterday: dumbass never learns. And I’m sorry, but if I was having sex with someone who not only HAD me on camera but was HOLDING a camera as well, he’d be finishing solo.

    What arrogant douches they both are. (What was that song from the 80’s, with the lyrics “Vanity kills; it don’t pay bills; vanity kills” – obviously prior to the “reality” TV industry.)

  49. The Bobster says:

    Just when you think she can’t sink any lower, she drains a little more water out of the pool.

  50. crazycatlady says:

    Let’s see:
    – he’s famous – check
    – his name starts with a K – check
    – he has the potential to stir up publicity in the future – check!

    All criteria met. Perfect match.

  51. crazycatlady says:

    Oh, and I keep forgetting to point out the fact that lately the corners of her mouth look like they’ve been artificially enhanced to look like mini face butt cracks. Am I the only one to notice this?

  52. lola8 says:

    He is probably the only douche left that has the guts to be see in public with her.

  53. the original bellaluna says:

    Name of their new collaborative his/hers fragrance: STD.

  54. ZenB!tch says:

    I need to preface this question with the fact that I *loathe* rap and am 100% rap clueless BUT…

    Wasn’t Kanye once known as a genuine talent?

    Why the F would a legitimate musician go near that. Dave Grohl would never do that to me!

  55. dragonlady sakura says:

    Aww, don’t you just love it when a loud mouthed publicity whore falls in love with a kat-faced famewhore. Love is in the air!

  56. maemay says:

    Remember when gossip was real scandalous and paparazzi got real candid shots like Brad Pitt totally nekkid with Gweneth Paltrow. It’s not fun when the celebrities want to get their photo taken.

  57. notakfan says:

    I can already imagine their wedding ceremony, the priest would be doing his thing then kanye would interrupt him and say “Kim I’m happy for you but Beyonce had the best wedding of the year!”, the funny thing is kanye would fit perfectly in the attention grabbing fame whore family!

    • Leticia says:

      yes!

      but you left out the part where Kanye says to the priest, “I’mma let you finish”

  58. Zelda says:

    The fingernails don’t match.
    But god, she is so desperate for attention.

  59. Peachy says:

    Westward Ho!

  60. Mar says:

    Please please please no more KK. I can’t take anymote

  61. Dorothy says:

    She’ll sleep with anyone. What a skank.

  62. wunder says:

    At one time in history, slavery was also ‘legal’ in the US, but that didn’t make it right!

  63. gravityfalls says:

    i think this whole kanye and kim is not a bad idea…i mean c’mon khloe is married,kourtney is expecting another baby. shes probably lonley and stuff so cut the lady some slack!!!

  64. Marion says:

    Are we sure that the song he wrote for her wasn’t “Gold Digger”????

  65. LovenWorth says:

    I really wish they would go away. I never liked Kim or Kanye. Kanye always seemed a bit suspect to me especially with his temper tantrums and do I really need a reason to dislike Kim K. Yeah I think I will be ignoring post about these two for as long as they are together.

  66. kitty bye says:

    TWINS

  67. margot says:

    Saying that wearing and buying fur isn’t illegal is making a decent point? Lot of things aren’t illegal, that doesn’t mean we should do them. People depend so much on rules. That’s why they are so dumb. They can’t think outside the box.
