Kimberly Kardashian is a Los Angeles area boutique owner whose friendship with socialite Paris Hilton has made her a gossip-column favorite. Described by the press as a "stylist," Kim is the daughter of attorney Robert Kardashian (1944-2003), who became famous in 1994 when his friend and client O.J. Simpson was arrested and tried for murder. Kim became one of Paris Hilton's party pals and was little known outside gossip circles until she announced in early 2007 that she was taking legal action to prevent the distribution of a naughty home video she had made with then-boyfriend Ray J (born William Ray Norwood, Jr., the brother of singer Brandy). Until Kardashian's announcement, the public at large was unaware of the tape's existence. The tape was widely distributed on the internet, despite Kardashian's attempts to quash it and she was launched into Hilton-like celebrity. Married at one time to music producer Damon Thomas (2000-04), she has been romantically linked to a number of male celebrities, including Jessica Simpson's ex-husband sex scene and hot bed scene Nick Lachey and Heisman Trophy winner Reggie Bush. She and her sisters Kourtney and Khloe own a dress boutique in Calabasas, California called Dash, and her family is the focus of a TV reality series which began in 2007, Keeping Up With the Kardashians.
Curvaceous fashionista Kim Kardashian was born on October 21, 1980, in Los Angeles, California. Born of Armenian descent, Kardashian’s late father was OJ Simpson’s defense attorney Robert Kardashian. She has nine brothers and sisters, including three full siblings, two half-sisters, three step-brothers, and one step-sister. Kardashian’s step-father is 1976 Olympic Games gold medalist, Bruce Jenner, father of Princes of Malibu star Brody Jenner
The Kardashians took part in the TV reality show "Keeping up with the Kardashians" staring Kim and her sisters and stepsisters as well as her mom and former Olymian stepdad Bruce Jenner.Growing up in an affluent Los Angeles family, Kardashian received a car for her sixteenth birthday. Unlike her friends, however, Kardashian found herself cut off by her parents at age eighteen, as they wanted to instill a work ethic in their daughter. Kardashian befriended such socialites as Paris Hilton, Nicky Hilton, and Nicole Richie. Later on, these friends would also become some of her top clients when she founded the upscale Calabasas fashion boutique "Dash," along with her sisters, Kourtney Kardashian and Khloe. Prior to opening her own store, Kardashian sold some of her top designer duds on e-bay.
In 2004, twenty-three-year-old Kardashian divorced from her husband, R&B producer, Damon Thomas. Much of Kardashian’s post-divorce romances with high-profile celebrities would prove to place her in the headlines, including relationships with Diddy, The Game, and Nick Lachey, shortly following his 2005 split from Jessica Simpson.
In early 2007, a sex tape hit the Internet starring Kardashian and boyfriend at the time, Ray J, little brother to Brandy Norwood. Although Kardashian admitted to the existence of the tape before it went public, she denied orchestrating the release of the tape for profit, claiming "I don’t need the money." Adult film company, Vivid Entertainment, purchased the tape from an unknown source for $1 million, and reportedly plans to release the tape on DVD before February 28, 2007, under the title Kim Kardashian Superstar. The tape has also been posted on Kimksuperstar.com, and can be seen for a fee.
When notified of Vivid Entertainment’s distribution of the video, a rep for Kardashian said Kim would be taking legal action against anyone responsible for distributing the video. Kardashian and Ray had long since split, and the rapper had since been romantically linked to Lil’ Kim and and Whitney Houston.
Kardashian featured on the cover of Complex magazine's February/March 2007 issue and went on to be Hugh Hefner's Playboy magazine covergirl for December 2007.

Ever in demand for fashion shoots and products, Kim was signed as the model and spokesowman for Bongo jeans in 2008. It’s rumored that her body was a little too voluptuous for Bongo, hence some photoshopping occurred in the ads.
In August 2008 Kim Kardashian added yet another role to her ever increasing resume, Dancing Queen, as she competed in the new season’s reality TV show, Dancing With The Stars!Kardashian began her dancing on September 22nd with professional dancer Mark Ballas but before the start of the show Kim was nursing a cut foot that had seen her taking a visit to the hospital.
Then on Good Morning America she revealed that she would battle on regardless and would be taking to the dance floor.But despite her dance partner, Mark’s dancing prowess he couldn’t make the rhythm retarded Kim lose her stiff dance style and take them to the finals. In fact the couple were eliminated in the first three weeks of the show. After being thrown off Kim ran back stage in tears to be comforted by her family.
Kim’s 28th birthday saw her celebrating with boyfriend Reggie Bush at the Alabama medical center this year when he was hospitalized with a knee injury.
