Kim Kardashian: I Don't Need to Be "Stick-Skinny" to Be Sexy
Kim Kardashian is almost ready to be a mom.
"In five years I would hope to be settled down, have a baby or two," the E! reality star, 29, tells the September issue of Allure. "I always thought, 'For sure, when I'm 30, I'll have four kids, like my mom." See more photos of Kim's Allure photo shoot.

Mom Kris is also raising Kourtney, 31, Khloe, 26 and Rob, 23, with the late Robert Kardashian. She and Bruce Jenner have two daughters: Kendall, 14, and Kylie, 12.
But Kim only plans to breastfeed for six months. (She set off a firestorm on UsMagazine.com -- receiving more than 550 angry comments -- when she Twittered "EWW I'm at lunch,the woman at the table next 2 me is breast feeding her baby w no coverup.")
"They say that after a year, there's no nutrients," she says.
First things first: Kim -- who split from Reggie Bush in March after about three years of on-again/off-again dating -- needs to find a guy. She's recently been linked to Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Miles Austin, and "may go on a date" with Chace Crawford after cozying up to him at the Teen Choice Awards, a source tolld Us earlier this month.

Not that she has time to get serious with anyone.

"The challenges of dating, gosh," she says. "Who would ever want to deal with a hectic schedule and not really [getting] to see someone that often? That's the reality of my life right now, that I don't have a lot of time. You know, it's tough, but I'm totally fine on my own. I've always been in a relationship. So it's kind of refreshing to just do me 100 percent and not worry about, 'Do I have to call this person when I get home?'"
She's been burned before. A sex tape featuring her and ex boyfriend Ray J was released in 2007.
"Not my most proud moment," she tells the magazine. "It was humiliating. But now let's move on. Not that I don't think it's [no one's] business, but I think I've done a good job of replacing negative things with positive things."

She recalls having to explain the tape to Kylie and Kendall, who heard at school that Kim was a "porn star."
Later, she posed on the cover of Playboy.
"It's nothing that I regret -- being on the cover of Playboy is very iconic," she says. "I was like, 'OK, I'm proud to do this and to show people that I don't have to be stick-skinny to be looked at as a sex symbol, and to me that's not what's attractive anyway.' So I was all for it, although I was very nervous."
Continues Kim, "After the fact, I said, 'I wish I hadn't done Playboy then' -- not that it's something I wouldn't do now, but because then I wasn't in the best shape of my life... I lost about 15 pounds, and I feel so proud. I look back and say, 'Oh, my God, I was so heavy then.' If you look now, I'm so much skinnier; my face is so much slimmer; my whole stomach is defined."
Kim, who takes classes at Barry's Boot Camp and trains with celeb trainer Gunnar Peterson, says, "When I am in shape, I feel sexy."
It takes a lot of work to look like Kim.
"I am Armenian, so of course I am obsessed with laser hair removal! Arms, bikini, legs, underarms...my entire body is hairless," she says.
Growing up, she always knew she'd be on a reality show.
"In elementary school, The Real World came on and I was like, That's it! I know I want to be on a reality show," she remembers. "And I was like, OK, when I'm old enough, I will make an audition tape."
Now her highly-rated show is "our family therapy -- everything's on camera, so you're forced to deal with issues that you might not have wanted to or been able to," says Kardashian. (Indeed, the current issue of Us Weekly reports Kim and her sisters have "knock-down fights" over Kourtney's contentious relationship with Scott Disick, the father of 8-month-old Mason.)

Eventually, she'd love to star in a sitcom, "maybe about a career woman," she says.
Kim recalls her religious childhood.
"All the books we read before bed were, like, Bible-study books. Or little tales, like Samson and Delilah with cartoons. And my mom would have Bible study at the house with her girlfriends," says Kim, who grew up in Beverly Hills and attended an all-girls school, where she was voted "Most Likely to Meet Her Husband at the Million Man March" and "Most Likely to Lie About Her Ethnicity."
Tell Us What You Think
157This is the wrong message for her to send out,I don't consider her curvy at 5'2 115 pounds wearing a size 2 or4 how in the world does she think that's postive when she knows she paid for the butt the boobs the nose job the lipo and she did something to her face she can barely smile at all.I don't think people should call others haters when she's saying she doesn't have to be a stick but yet lost weight she remains curvy because implants don't shrink in the boobs or butt area.I think she needs mental help she doesn't seem to like herself her ex boyfriend dumped her for being plastic she needs to learn to love herself then give advice about body image.
Do any of you remember life before the Kardashians? Remember the time? No pics of gigantic butts with the cracks showing..no stories of Kim passing wind on an airplane..no constant pics and blogs about everything KK...no moments of hearing about how her butt could have it's own zip code (what a narcissist) or what shoes she likes..or what kind of nail polish she is using on her toes today..how she is going to focus on ME this week..is that being selfish???? Every second of the hour of the minute of the day is focused on you and your sisters... that stupid E channel should change it's name to the K channel. I won't watch that channel because the karTRASHians are not real celebrities. It's time people..it's time for them to fade away.
I hate people that make comments on breast feeding when they have no clue, what an idiot!! How dumb can u be...oh you organize closets...well there u go...doesn't take much brains to do that...ha ha.
No matter who you are or how you become famous, some idiot will call you a fan like @conishkee. If a famous for nothing tramp is who you look up to then I feel sorry for you.
we know already ya'll hips r wide just like men want them keep it pushn besides ukeep going after bruders. oh well...
Oh, I just LOVE, LOVE, LOVE what "HATERS" said @ 8:58 a.m. Took the words, thoughts and feelings totally from me. I'm always defending Kim because some of these individuals, as HATERS indicated, obviously have nothing else better to do but to blog over the internet with hate, judgments and discriminations against Kim, although they swear on back that they are sick and tired of her. What a bunch of hypocrites. THEY are the ones who MAKE ME SICK!! If Kim made them sick so much, why do they continue to seek her out just so that they can make hatred remarks about her? I say, leave her alone and move on to someone else because she is not thinking about the haters. She is doing things, making that money and living la vida loca and I love her for it!! The reality is, those INSECURE haters out there who are not in Kimâ??s shoes, that is what pisses them off -- jealously. How sad for them. GO KIM!!

Yes US MAg not only does she work out with Gunner Peterson, but she has also had liposuction, breast implants and a butt augmentation. Her ex paid for a few procedures but she kept going with all the money she's made. Her cheek implats are just strange. If this is what it takes to make it in the business than the business is completely out of touch with reality. And women and young girls should make note of the "excellent plastic surgery", professional make-up artist and stylist of which she all employs, but note that this lever of "beauty" is completely out of reach from the general public! and no I'm not a "hater" just a realist who wants women to stop killing themselves over these RIDICULOUS "standards
i agree with the comment below me 100%! when i saw this article, i thought oh it's kim talking about her body and shock - herself again! that's all she does, she's so self absorbed. no wonder she can't keep a man.
The KarTRASHians give nothing to this world and only take, these girls are bad influences and horrible selfish people. It starts with their self centered mother of the year who stood by quietly as her husband freed OJ Simpson, the guy who killed Kris' friend because it meant a pay check. So what do the daughters do with their familys "legacy"? Kim makes a vile sex tape and leaks it for the money and attention (classy!) Khloe gets a DUI, and the other one has a baby with some loser. The truth is there are some people who are just born bad people. These no talent losers are some of them.
JEN: What are you talking about? Skinnier women and the media in general are ALWAYS putting down curvier women in this society. That is the rule rather than the exception. Are you from this planet or what?
I'm Not Recep's Girlfriend: Wow! Talk about trashy! Way to show some class. Bitter/jealous much?
I think she looks so much younger and prettier when she wears less, more natural-looking make-up like this. I would like to see her change her look and adopt this style on a regular basis. Keep the heavy make-up for evenings. She's a beauty.
She's an embarresment!
What is she talking about that breastfeeding doesn't offer any nutrition after a year? Of course it does. And what about the immunities it offers and the decreased rate of breast cancer it provides Mothers (and possibly baby girls later in life). She really should get her facts straight, because (heaven forbid) some girls and women might be going on what she says...

I wish she'd get her facts straight before claiming that there are no nutrients in breastmilk after 1 year old. Is she crazy? What about the immunities that it continues to offer babies? The link that has been proven between breastfeeding infant girls and their decreased risk for breast cancer later in life? What about the fact that the longer a mother breastfeeds the less her own risk for breast cancer? Etc, etc. What about the bond it offers for Mother and child? And on and on... I wish she'd get her facts straight, because some people might actually be going on what she says...heaven forbid...
Kim is no sex symbol or beauty. Kim is Fat,Dog Ugly and Butt Fugly. Kim is a Who.re.,Sl.ut.,Bit.ch.,Cu.nt. and Tw.at. Kim shouldn't be on tv or any magazine cover. She's only famous for being a Ho. She has no talent but sleeping around going from one man to another. E channel should be fined for allowing such trash on air. Kim&her piggy family should be boycotted. Keep the Pukedashians off the air.
i don't want to judge...not my place to do that BUT didn't she say that she did playboy to show that you don't have to be stick thin to be a sex symbol? then she went on to say: I wish i did it now cuz im so much skinnier now! WTF???? make up your mind.
