Kim Kardashian Playboy Photos

Check out this hot photoshoot of Kim Kardashian for Playboy magazine…







When Kim Kardashian signed ups for Dancing with the Stars many wondered if the vigorous routines would cause her to lose her greatest asset. Would she lose her famous rear curves? It is time for the annual "Rear of the Year" awards and it isn't Kim Kardashian that took the award, it is Jennifer Ellison that gets to take home the award.

Kim's Playboy pictures certainly sow that she is also blessed with a "full, rounded rear view." (See her rear view and Kim's full frontal pics here). But the "Rear of the year" website notes that change was ushered in with the 1960's and a "smaller, neater rear popularized by 'Twiggy' and Jean 'The Shrimp' Shrimpton.The 1970's and 80's brought with them a gradual increase in the size of fashionable rears until the 1990's when health and fitness became a major fashion influence-slimmer and trimmer being the key ambitions of the fashion conscious."

Kim Kardashian Apologizes for Flipping Off Paps, Promises to Be Polite

Showing off her regret for flipping off a group of paparazzi, Kim Kardashian is reaching out to her official website to adjust her conduct. Setting the record straight on the incident, she explains what really went on that day in a bid to avoid negative media publication.

Kim and her sisters, Khloe Kardashian and Kourtney Kardashian, were eating lunch and filming scenes for their reality TV show "Keeping Up with the Kardashians" at Scott Disick restaurant in BLVD on Sunday, September 14 when they addressed a group of paparazzi who were hounding them with the so-called "universal hand gesture." Fearing that it can provoke misinterpretation from people, she then expressed her regret in a post on her official website.

"I wanted to share this with you in the event you saw it somewhere else ..." so she began writing. "Just to give you some background to this photo-the paparazzi were driving us crazy! We were trying to eat and they were screaming at us. I realize how easily this could be taken out of context. It's just a picture, so you never get to hear what they said on the other end to provoke us!!!" She ended her post writing, "I promise I'll try my best from now on to be polite."

Following the event, Kim goes on with her life. Kept busy with the preparation for her "Dancing with the Stars" stint, the celebrity socialite was seen enjoying some time off from her hectic schedule, having her nails done at a salon in Beverly Hills, California on Monday, September 15 before heading off to do shoe shopping.

Kim Kardashian Traces Her DWTS Journey

Kim Kardashian is providing new insight on what it is to be a dancer.

In a lengthy new entry on her MySpace blog, the Keeping Up with the Kardashians reality-show star tells what it was like to begin preparing for her stint on Dancing with the Stars, which will debut Sept. 22.

In terms of her very first meeting with her professional partner, Mark Ballas, on Aug. 18, “All I could think was, I would be spending weeks and weeks and weeks, hours upon hours with this person, so I hoped we’d just get along to start!”

Compounded her nervousness was the fact that “I’ve never taken a dance class in my life … the second thing I thought of was, could I really do this?”

As for what occurred when she and Ballas met, Kardashian says fans will simply have to tune into this season’s first DWTS episode. “But I can tell you this: I was really happy when I saw it was Mark!”

For their first two competition dances together, “We had to pick two songs that were the right tempo and cadence for the specific dances we’re doing — it has to match and has to work — but we also wanted things that worked for our personalities — plus we wanted things that we thought the crowd would like.”

Having, in an earlier post, complimented her partner’s fashion sense, she now tips her hat to the wardrobe team (”Every sequin, every bead, is painstakingly and lovingly applied and sewn by hand”) — and to Ballas’s ear for picking music.

“But I also love music,” she notes, “so I think our coming together with thoughts and ideas worked really well.”

In terms of actually putting one foot in front of the other, “At first, I just try to imitate what Mark does, but after a while and with his guidance, I know the dance steps myself and not that is gets easy, but it gets less confusing and we can actually dance together and that is really, really exciting. Of course I have my moments where I lose my balance or I lose my place, and some days are better than others.”

By the time “my brain cannot soak in any more … that is usually when we stop.”

But there’s no stopping her now. “Mark and I continue to rehearse every single day, still make each other laugh, and are getting more and more excited to show everyone what we’ve been working so hard for!! Just a few more days!!!”
