Why Was Kim Kardashian Having Her Bottom Measured?

06/24/2010 at 05:51 PM ET

kimkardashian.celebuzz.com

Kim Kardashian took to her blog today to broadcast–with photographic proof, no less–that her famous curves were in the process of being measured. The reality star posted a photo on her blog of an mystery woman taking a ruler to her much-discussed behind, asking “Hmm… why would I be getting measured… Curiosity? Dress fitting? Can you guess?” The photo-friendly star left us with just one clue–the mysterious hashtag “#karwax.” Theories abound, but our best guess? Kardashian is set to debut as the next celebrity to be memorialized with a Madame Tussauds wax figure. Tell us: Why do you think Kim was having her rear measured? –Marissa Patlingrao Cooley

WHY?

deb on

pretty sad when you are known for the size of your ass and nothing else.

June Blair on

Please, get over yourself! How shallow can you be?

jean on

maybe what she has of a brain slipped down into her ass and they are measuring it for a hat? plastic fantastic.

Dana on

Kim’s probably having her butt measured cuz every time she loses weight she loses it everywhere else except her butt….hmmmmm I wonder if it’s fake…..I like Kim but I hate the lies….probably measuring it to see if it really does stay the same………

Travel Girl on

SICK!!!!!! I don’t see any other girls doing this for attention. ONLY KIM would do this. LOOK AT ME!!!!! I need attention!

Anna on

Why would she have her rear measured????? She already knows it’s big.
I’m a big fan of Kim, but come on!!!! That is probably the dumbest thing i have ever heard.

LISA on

She is a very vain woman, I was very shocked to learn of her first marriage when she tries to come across that she is an innocent

jane on

she is lame

Caitlin on

Loser…she must go to bed at saying…I’m so hot…I’m famous for…oh waait…I’m not famous for anything except hair extensions, lip injections, waaay tooo makeup and having no brain. YAY good for you idiot

Sam on

pretty sad when you are known for the size of your ass and nothing else.

- deb on June 24th, 2010

!! Thank you Deb. That’s the truth. !!

britanny on

I think Kim is such a loser, I thought I really liked her until now, she should actually think its really sad that no one sees her for anything other than a big butt… but of course its fake or shes gotten done in the booty one to many times, wait until she has a baby that girl is going to look ridiculous..ewww cottage cheese anyone?

Nicole on

She is either having it insured and needs the size or plastic surgeons keep getting requests for their patient’s butt implants and she is taking measurements so the docs have the correct proportions.

Anastasia on

I bet she’s getting married! it’s just on the down low for now though. that’s my guess

cal on

haters haters haters

Mandy on

What is her talent again? oh, she doesn’t have one!

cal on

her ass is her success…get it people…that is her ass-ets

me on

who cares

L.L. on

It’s big, but the media makes it sound like it is out of this world.
I am a Latina in my early 20′s and please don’t take this the wrong way but a lot of my Latina family members and friends looks very similar to Kim including her BUTT.
I think the media makes such a big deal about her behind because it looks huge when she is surrounded by all these other stick-thin celebrities. For instance, in this picture yes she’s got a big bump but it doesn’t look SOOO BIGGG…it’s just a big bump that I think is overrated. Don’t get me wrong she is pretty, but nothing I haven’t seen before.
I just wish she wasn’t so conceited and vein. JMO

Falon on

This photo is ridiculous!

KD on

Not that I am a fan but at least read the article!

“Kardashian is set to debut as the next celebrity to be memorialized with a Madame Tussauds wax figure.”

Mel J on

She is probably having it insured by Lloyds of London!!!

Jon on

I really have no clue why her Bottom was being measured?

Mary on

Why are people such haters out there the girl is got it so what’s the deal?

FrenchLady on

WOW!! Is she THAT desperate???

Macy on

I’m sure that’s just what that woman wants to do…measure Kim’s ass.

Fred C. Dobbs on

Se is having her ass measured for a sign that’ll read “Caution – WIDE LOAD.”

Lucy on

Deb’s comment sucks

Tia on

Silly twit isn’t happy unless she’s making headlines. I admire the sisters for promoting curves, but Kim’s head should be measured to before it explodes from conceit.

Fred C. Dobbs on

Maybe she’s getting her ass measured to see if her head will fit. Looks to me like a perfect fit.

Diane Law on

I think she is very pretty, but the ole saying goes “pretty is what pretty does”..I think she is kind -hearted. It’s sad her beauty is so important for when she ages she is in for a real shocker!! Let her have her fun now. Honestly I think her butt is so big it looks bad. I think she might be getting married.

Aquita on

It’s probably the wax museum.

toni on

It’s probably for a plastic museum, not wax, since it’s fake

jessica on

kim is amazing and beautiful and her ass is real!!! haters!!

Dani on

Did any of you read the article? Clearly she’s not doing it for attention. I wouldn’t be surprised if she was getting a wax figure. They do need the exact measurements of your body for that.

terry on

you loser’s would change places with her in a heartbeat.

nicole on

Maybe all that sun has fried her brain

Miriam on

wow people really?!?!?! as if we really know what goes on in these people’s lives. why are we such haters. she is a beautiful, curvacious woman. good for her in whatever she does!!! seriously the rest of you are just haters, seriously. you go kim. and your sisters!! i have a huge ass and so do all of my 5 other sisters. keep doing what you gotta do. everyone get over yourselves.

melanie83 on

Who cares about these kind of people…she’s got a big butt and big lips, she’s not promoting world peace or anything lol she is not famous for anything…please talk about real celebrities, not wannabees!

valerie on

are you serious ???? are they running out of ” real People “..

Debra B. on

I will guess that Kim will be the next Madame Tussauds’ wax figure. I just can’t guess WHY???

Emma on

Umm she’s getting a wax figure for Madame Tussauds! Go Kim!! And her ass is just big in relation to her tiny body, probably smaller than 98% of you haters’ asses!!

Cath on

More importantly, why did PEOPLE decide this was a news worthy entertainment story?

Jeremy on

She’s in the Ralph Lauren offices it looks like and that seems like a conservative style for a Madame Tussaud’s…

Jen918 on

Why is it that everyone hating on here is female? Girls if you don’t like it, don’t look or comment. If I could make money off my back side I sure as heck would! I agree with “People” wax figure.

Kristin on

I don’t really understand why she is so famous???
And why are they making a wax figure of her? Thats whats with American you get recognized for nothing and others such as teachers coaches social workers doctors ect get no credit we should be doing wak figures of those people who help others lives…

katie on

she is so shallow and vain. PEOPLE, stop posting about her. no one cares!!

Boo on

who gives a rat’s ass (get it??)…get over yourself, kim!! seriously!!

Elizabeth on

She’s probably getting it measured so she can talk about the exact size of it. All she EVER talks about is her body.

k on

there’s no size of a measurment tape that will be able to measure that! haahaha

judy on

Geez, people, hate much? She’s a celebutante, not a rocket scientist. However, she and her sisters DO own their own stores, and Kim started out as a personal shopper and stylist for other rich girls, and bought designer close-out items and resold them at a profit. It’s not like she’s a prostitute, no matter what names you wanna call her. Your insults just show you all to be jealous and nothing more. If you had her looks, money and fame you’d probably court the spotlight no differently!

debbie smith on

She will do anything to be in the front page. Mostly for publicity.

Rob on

To see if she makes the Guinness book of world records for white girls?

kiki on

where is my comment?

Nicole on

She is possibly getting measured to be made of wax for Madam Tousso?? You can see the scale on the floor!

bernice on

i love kim but thats a little tooo much.i got a big ass and i never thought i will hear anything like this.

chinalove on

She´s trying to look like J.Lo every time she can dressing, acting and doing the same things she does… So copycat… Use your brain in something else.. The world is in need…

Celeste on

Who gives a rat’s patoot!

angie on

she is very beautiful, but I have to agree this is just another way to keep her in the news and her wallet as big as her @@@!!!

Deana on

yall are a bunch of haters!!!! Dont u all wish u could look like her!!! If u dont care then why are u reading this article and posting a comment.

harmb on

all the comments are woman that are just haters. dont u have better things to do, maybe go for a run or go to the gym. lose some weight so u can to hope to look like her

JJ FAB on

I seriously wish ALL the Kardashian’s would go away. All of them are annoying.

Jaime on

Guinness Book of World Records?

jumbybird on

They’re trying to figure out the size of her brain?

Jessica on

I have no idea why she is doing that. wierd!

jumbybird on

Oooh Oooh I have another one… They were trying to figure out the IQ of her fans. What is it about 40 inches around?

christy on

wow you people are just mean you all are just jealous kim is beautiful and obviously she is not an idiot to have the money she has, she is a smart business woman, I would guess if not for the wax museum then maybe for insurance purposes

Lisa on

Why not?? It obviously made you look at the picture. She looks gorgeous all the time, more power to her!! I want my butt measured too!!! <3 you Kim

Denise on

I would just like to say why would Kim Kardashian but amongst entertainers such as Michael Jackson and Barack Obama even in wax. What is famous for?…just askin

Elizabeth on

“Why was Kim Kardashian having her bottom measured?” For attention, of course.

Evern Williams on

IT’S NOT REAL SHE HAD SURGERY TO GET THAT BUTT. MEANING SHE HAD FAT INJECTED IN HER BUTT SO SHE CAN HAVE A BUTT, I DO.T KNOW WHY THESE WHITE GIRLS DO SUCH THINGS I COULD HAVE SOLD HER SOME FAT FROM MY BUTT I NEED THE MONEY, FALSE NOSE, FACE FALSE BUTT BE YOURSELF BOO

Hollister on

I do not know why she is having her a$$ measured but she has the ugliest thighs and calves I’ve ever seen. She really needs to work on those very obvious problem areas. As for her A$$ I do not think it looks all that bad.

jack on

Maybe BMW are looking for a new rear structure.

imho on

To see how much bigger it is than her IQ

joi on

I think all you people who are calling her a loser and fake for some reason,are just people who are jealous of her and are haters. Its pretty ovbious that you people have nothing else to do but talk about her because she has want you want. I mean thats shallow of you to say something about someone you dont even know. Ok she does show off her booty,but if you had one you would do the same. I know I would because I sometimes do. She takes time and effort in it. And you have no idea what she’s getting her booty for maybe a new dress or like the editor said might be for a wax figure. I love Kim Kardasian she’s pretty and keeps herself up. More importantly I look up to her. So let her do whatever she wants with butt she owns it not you. And this all came from a 12 year old.Do your thing girl because I look up to you and so many others

Annmarie on

Prob. cause she is a talentless has been. It’s the only thing she’s famous for. most guys I know say it’s not even nice just huge.

Annmarie on

Nope not jealous unlike her I have no cellulite. Real great role model for all 12 year olds with her sex tape and playboy spread!

Jay on

I think it’s funny! Lighten up people.

liz on

What’s the big deal about having an ass? I’m Puerto Rican and I have one and so does every other girl I know? Only ours are real. There are pictures of her from 2006 and her ass is flat as a pancake. It’s called surgery people. duh

Such a yawn. I guess white people aren’t used to seeing a big fake ass? LOL

mary on

Don’t you need some sort of artistic talent to be a celebrity?

lena on

you are LOOSERs and HATERs!! She looks great, and I have 3 babies and I am in a great shape! So don’t wait until you can ponint out on her post baby body, she has everything now and will have it after 10 babies, you just envy!!

D on

THIS is the top story of the day? Kim’s backside? OMG!

Lena on

I am not going to bash Kim. To answer the question, she’s probably going to be immortalized in Madam T’s Wax Museum.

erin on

kim, get over yourself. she is soooo in love with herself, no wonder she can’t keep a man. she’s almost 30, time to grow up!!

Sharon on

How stuck on one’s self can someone be! Yes you have a big a** we all know and have seen it, now lets move on! Thank you.

Darrow on

WHY? , because she wants to go see her friends on the Jersey Shore and her butt MAY be too big to go through the Jersey Turnpike toll booths? I’m just spit ballin’ here.

Darrow…for the Prosecution

Candy on

Does anyone know what Kim’s career is? she is always going on about concentrating on her career.. really would love to know. As for measuring her ass, she is just a dumb wanna be blonde…

DAN on

WOW ! “TRIM DRAMADASHIAN’S” FAT ASS IN THE GOSSIP RAG AGAIN WHAT ARE THE ODDS ?

SHE MEASURING TO SEE HOW FAR HER NEW NEW BOYFRIEND CAN GET IN. I’M SURE THERE BE LITTLE OR NO RESISTANCE !

Greta Francesca Iori on

Madame Tussauds, all the way! She’s having a wax figure done which will travel through all 3 museums, New York City, London and right here in Amsterdam!

tmack on

Just like JLo and Beyonce, Kim is one of the worlds most beautiful women from the waist up.

lindsey on

This is so pathetic! Its nauseating. Black women have had voluptuous and beautiful behinds for centuries and yet they have not capitalized on it. However, when ppl like kim or jlo show their pathetic butts all of a sudden everyone loves them. Especially no talented kim.

aj on

Well its obvious that its being measured so they can make a wax figure for her……it says it in the article. But I was concerned about how people on here comment on her brain when most of you don’t even know what the articles about. Atleast get your facts str8 before trying to offend a woman thatdoesnt stoop to ur levels. And stop hatinf everyone. You women are jealous you have a flat ass or you wish you had her money. You wish you had her body and if u disagree you need to stop lieing to urself. She’s a model! What are you?

madeleine on

Kim get over yourself.the whole world will better if you go away.I’am so sick of you now,i used to like you.i’am so eretated of you,i’m glad Regis bumped you.he will be much better without you, i used to like you guys to gether.not anymore,now you to obsessed.please go away not come back any time soon.

LOL on

SHE GETTING HER BUTT INSURED IN CASE SHE LOSES IT LOL…

Josh on

I think she wanted to travel to Russia to be a space tourist. The Russians wanted to measure her ass for two reasons.1) They were concerned that even a Rocket capable of carrying 20,000 pounds of rocket fuel might not be able to lift her behind. 2) If they were able to perform this miracle, there was speculation that her ass’s gravitational pull would affect the moon’s orbital pattern.

kimberly on

@lisa she doesnt try to come off as innocent. she never once has acted that way. she admits she has a past and it is what it is, get over it! move the f*** on!

lelu26 on

I think that Kim is gorgeous. I can sit here an say harsh things towards her and her sisters, although I would be speaking out of jealousy. As far as for her bumm being measured: Who cares? I’m pretty sure we can find other things to talk about.

Kianna on

Kardashian Barbie. #KarWax

Melanie on

I could care less that her *ss is getting measured as I am really curious why she is getting a wax figure at Madame Tussauds. She’s not a movie star/celebrity, she’s a reality ho.

Shannon on

Is she trying to get into the books of world records for the biggest ass or the dumbest women?

Lune on

I can’t decide whats bigger,her a$$,her mouth or her ego.

Casey on

If you don’t care so much about Kim then why even take the time to post anything or click on the article and read it. I think most of you need to get over yourselves. Its obvious that you are jealous of her. You make her more famous every time you click on a link to an article about her. Seriously! If you have no interest in her don’t read stories about her. I like Kim and her family. Her show is funny and she is beautiful.

Megan on

DO ANYONE ACTUALLY BELIEVE THAT HER ARSE IS REAL? THERE ARE SO MANY GREAT PICTURE OUT THERE THAT SHOW SHE GOT BUTTOCKS IMPLANT.

hola on

dang, nowonder this world is soo messed up. Soo negative. Kim is pretty…she can’t help it. I’m sure you all would love some of that fame and fortune too. hahahhaha. if you say you don’t. you are lyinggg. ahhaha.

Carmen on

She made a bet that it was bigger than JLO.

blazinphillies on

To see if her head is finally bigger than her ass? Hot narcissistic dummy.

jazzy g on

of course it’s for her wax figure! can’t waitto see it !!

Veronica on

OMG! Leave her alone At least she isn’t off doing drugs (Lohan) All we see is a woman expressing herself and having fun. If we had her money and fame I doubt we wouldn’t be doing the same thing. Instead of suggesting she get a life why don’t some of you haters follow suit. Kim you are great! God bless and please never change!

lauren on

My God – she really needs to back off the plastic surgery. She is starting to look exactly like her mother which isn’t a good thing. Why do girls do things like this to their faces? She’s obviously had a nose job done, but something else has been done as well. Just because you can’t quite tell what it is doesn’t mean it looks good! It looks unnatural and just plain fake.

Kelly on

Im so sick kim. she is so fake.she does it all for fame and money. always wanting to be the it girl. I cant wait for the next woman to come out and shadow her ass out of fame.

brandon on

i lovee alll the kardashians. clearly all of you are just jealousssss. got over itt people.

allan on

Maybe she getting her butt insurance quote

Nick on

That is a PHAT A$$!!! I would like to measure it!!!

Cookie on

I’m sooooooo sick of her. And stop trying to be a mother to these young guys she’s dating. Find someone older and maybe she may get a husband.

nicci on

She is obviously getting a wax figure made of her But she looks like wax anyway so what for?

DaveyDammit on

I’d wax that ass.

Lauren on

Butt implants! LoL

mike on

maybe they can plug the gulf leak with it?

Silvana on

My guesses are wax figure or to have her ass insured

miss t on

wax statue i suppose..?
