Why is it bizarre? They are horrible, vapid people. They elevate venality to monumental levels. They have chosen to monetize every aspect of their lives.

Dragging your kids on pap walks is hardly spending quality time with them. Kourtney does seem like a good mother but I don’t know about Kim. You must not have been around for the “IgNORI” phase. Kim even forgot her kid in a hotel because she was more concerned with showing off her hideous outfit on her pap stroll:

Yeah, they should really be more careful. Even among us regular plebes, social media postings can leave you open to burglary.

The PR rep said “by two armed masked men dressed as police officers.”

Because they suck, perhaps.

Kim Kardashian was held up at gunpoint inside her Paris hotel room by armed men dressed as police officers, according to her rep

Can you all make a point? They were already famous. Now they’re just incorporating their children into their brand. I don’t give a shit about nannies one way or the other.

It’s a legal loophole and not necessarily the truth. If an officer “reasonably feels like” his/her life is in danger they can shoot the assumed suspect. It doesn’t matter if it’s a real threat or not. They just have to say that they “feared for their lives.” This is how they get away with murder. This is also why the…

Always now, the first thing we hear is the police feared for their lives. These well-armed, presumably well-trained, professionals who, again presumably, chose to go into their profession, are evidently scared out of their minds every second of their shifts.

I just scoured the family’s social media...

First of all: Where are the kids?!
Second: Kim deleted her snapchat story, if she had one.
Third: These women need to be more careful about what they post. Kourtney and Kendall were live posting that they were out and about in Paris... making it obvious that Kim was not with…

I’m calling it: Kim’s fake ass exploded and injured the help. Blown out eardrums, eye injuries, second degree burns, the whole nine.

Do not agree. Her book has nothing to do with her persona. She’s not a fucking Kardashian or Tori Spelling selling her identity for entertainment. She’s a fiction writer. I think you’re confusing true talent and artistry for Hollywood/social media style celebrity. This is a major violation and I’m disgusted by NYRB.

yes. Plenty of flak in the comments... no accountability from Gawker OR the sites under it though. Heck, just reading the Univision stuff tells you how little they even regard that horrendous judgement.

Sure, some of the gossip out there is leaked by celebs but some is not. Thinking of some recent covers I have seen, I doubt Tom Hanks sold a story about his marriage being over or that Jennifer Aniston is leaking all those baby rumors. A lot of famous people hate the press but they can’t make reporters ignore them.

Bullshit. Authors are only celebrities if they choose to be. And even if they were celebrities no celebrity owes you anything other than what they choose to make public and no one has any right to pry into anything they don’t want to make public (with the exception of criminal behaviour). If you buy a Ferrante book…

Yeah, fuck right off. There is nothing about being an author (or any kind of celebrity) that justifies being doxxed.

it’s weird reading criticism of this happening on a Gawker (former Gawker?) site... a media group that took quite a bit of pride in outing either anonymous individuals also doing nothing illegal or even outing someone’s sexual preferences.

You are correct - this is an incredibly unpopular opinion.
