Dark haired beauty Kim Kardashian became an unexpected star after the first airing of her hit E! reality series “Keeping up with the Kardashians.” The show follows the exploits of the Kardashian/Jenner family, which includes father Bruce Jenner, mom Kris Jenner, Kim, Kourtney, Khloe and Robert Kardashian and Kendall and Kylie Jenner, in their Calabasas home.  After two successful seasons, the show is currently in production on season three.

Kardashian grew up with an almost fairy-tale childhood. She was the second child, born to Kris and prominent defense attorney Robert Kardashian. Her parents had four children at the time of their divorce. Her mom eventually married famous Olympic Gold Medalist Bruce Jenner, who also had four children, and they became a modern day Brady Bunch. Bruce and Kris had two more children together, bringing the extended family of children to ten.

Kardashian can currently be seen in her first feature film, DISASTER MOVIE for Lionsgate in which she stars alongside Carmen Electra, Matt Lanter and Vanessa Minnillo.  The comedy, a spoof of recent films, follows an unsuspecting group of twenty-somethings who find themselves bombarded by a series of natural disasters and catastrophic events.

This September, Kardashian will join the ABC hit series “Dancing with the Stars” where she is paired with defending Champion Mark Ballas.  

Kardashian will also be seen on The N’s series “Beyond the Break,” and has continual hosting stints on E! Entertainment Tonight/The Insider and EXTRA.  She has also appeared on “The Simple Life,” and guest starred in the Fall Out Boy video “Thanks for the Memories.”

Employing her entrepreneurial business skills, Kardashian started on her own as a fashion stylist and became and immediate sought after wardrobe stylist for infomercials, television shows, music videos and photo shoots.  But it was her organizational, orderly arrangement and construction of high fashion closets that led Kardashian into a unique line of work overhauling and designing closets for celebrities.

In 2006, together with her sisters Kourtney and Khloe, Kardashian opened the designer clothing store DASH in Calabasas, California; a must-shop-at store for those with discriminating, yet fashionable taste.  

Kardashian will launch her own perfume in May 2009 through New Wave Fragrances.  It will be available in the United States, Germany, Australia, England and Japan.

kimkardashian.celebuzz.com, Kardashian’s official website gets 5 million page views a month, making it the fastest growing celebrity blog on the web.  Thesite is updated daily and includes frequent blogs from Kardashian, her appearances in the press, beauty tips and relationship advice and the sale of her workout video “Kim Kardashian’s Body Beautiful,” which she created with her trainer Kathy Kaehler.  The workout targets 4 different body parts and can be downloaded individually or purchased as the whole workout on a DVD.  Some of the proceeds from the video will benefit the Westside Guild of Ararat Home in Los Angeles, an Armenian convalescent/old age assisted living facility and the AFESIP, which combats trafficking in women and children sold for sex slavery.
 
When not working, Kardashian gives her time to charitable causes.  She is a Dream Foundation ambassador which grants last wishes to terminally ill adults and does regular sales on Ebay to generate donations for the charity.  She also recently completed PSA’s about the political plight in Burma and Breast Cancer awareness and also participated in a photo shoot promoting the “Until There’s A Cure” bracelet dedicated to eradicating HIV/AIDS by raising awareness and funds to combat the pandemic.

Kardashian currently makes her home in Los Angeles.
