TheHollywoodReporter - Twitter, endorsements, paid appearances, fragrances: the new issue of the Hollywood Reporter magazine goes in depth with mom and manager Kris Jenner about the inventive – and controversial – ways she’s monetized reality fame for her family...These days, the Kardashians are ubiquitous. Their book, Kardashian Konfidential, has been on the New York Times best-seller list since December (275,000 copies have shipped). Kim’s eponymous fragrance was Sephora’s top seller last year, and a new fragrance, Unbreakable by Khloe and Lamar, launched Feb. 12.

I can't tell you how pissed I am right now.  These no-talent money-grubbing whores are pulling in $65 Million a year?  Are you freakin' kiddin' me?  I'm sittin' here in front of a slow, malware- and virus-infected computer, blogging my ass off all day long, entertaining countless people around the globe for some AdSense chump change and this dysfunctional family is pullin' in more cake than the payrolls of 9 Major League Baseball teams? (In case you were wondering, these teams all have payrolls under $65 Million:  Toronto, Washington, Cleveland, Arizona, Florida, Texas, Oakland, San Diego and Pittsburgh)  What's next, are you gonna tell me that Barry Zito is gettin' $18.5 Million from the Giants this year?  Oh, wait, never mind....
