What Is a Star Anyways?

The latest season of 'Dancing With the Stars' has begun and since there are so many people involved, I usually think the beginning is just a big old mess - it's hard to figure out who the favorites are although I think I'm secretly cheering for 'The Bus' (Warren Sapp) because you can tell he's just shaking his groove thing and really getting into it.

One contestant that I'm betting doesn't make it far is Kim Kardashian. When they first announced the contestants over the summer, I was thinking 'she's not really a star...' I'm sure she needed to add something to her resume below 'ex-Paris Hilton BFF, 'Sex Tape star, ' and 'Reggie Bush's girlfriend.' But when they did her "Contestant introduction" montage Monday night, it started out with her getting out of some over-priced sports car with shopping bags. So she's like 75% of all women her age - she likes to shop. She introduced herself as a 'reality show star.' I don't think that's really something to brag about. And really - how many people watch 'Keeping Up with the Kardashians?'

I have nothing against the girl - I just don't think she's accomplished anything in her life to warrant a spot on 'DWTS.' I can't help but think when Mark Ballas (last season's winner with Kristi Yamaguchi) drew his partner for this season, he probably thought, 'Who the hell...' and after figuring it out, was like 'Oh crap.' She's definitely very attractive - and she can only help put out a positive image for curvacious girls everywhere - but really - what has she done?

Apprarently, you don't have to do much to get the love and support of the Jenner and Kardashian Families...because when she was introduced to the audience, they couldn't have cheered louder....for their reality star daughter...with the sex tape...

Way to go, Kim...you got on a widely televised, bonafide game show (minus Celebrity Family Feud) and it's gonna be great because they actually consider you a 'star.'
