4Everything about her life in 2011 was a farce.She just wanted more money and be more famous. She is a selfish person.
I like it....
Oh that means that KK is really not a money hungry media hore who will do anything for publicity. I have to say I really like her sister Khloe.
God why are these hippos still relevant???????????
