Kim Kardashian Obsessed With Outshining The Royals

Reports have recently emerged that Kim Kardashian plans to have a wedding which rivals that of the British Royals.   How might you ask? Through the magic of live TV of course!

According to E! News, although Kim and Kris are set to marry in August; the televised version, aptly titled Kim’s Fairytale Wedding: A Kardashian Event, will air Sunday, October 9th and Monday, October 10th. Yes folks, it will take two days of programming to contain the sheer magnitude of the event.

Us Magazine reports that not only is Kim relying on famous designer Vera Wang to design her highly anticipated gown (one allegedly said to be diamond crusted);   Kim is also reportedly copying Will and Kate’s wedding cake which will cost the celebrity star (more likely her sponsor) somewhere between $15,000 to $20,000.

Although Kim’s guest list may not contain members of the monarchy, there will still be plenty of well dressed, celebrity royalty on hand whose attire will surely give the media plenty to talk about.

Reports confirm that novelty memorabilia will even be sold to commemorate the event. And we’re not just talking about the usual bobble head dolls, condoms and tea bags on display for your viewing pleasure. Instead, Kim created a signature fragrance called Love by Kim Kardashian in honor of her big day. These bottles are limited addition of course; only 799 will be produced, but not to fret, for the mere price of $100 a bottle you too can smell like a princess.

I know what you may be thinking…where on earth is Kris Humphries getting the money to pay for this soirée??   Where indeed, with a reported salary of only $3.2mill with the New Jersey Nets it’s surprising he was even able to afford the $2million dollar ring!

No fret, the Kardashian empire is worth well above $60 million, but something tells us mother Kris Jenner still won’t let Kim Kardashian spend a penny on this wedding – there are plenty of sponsors lined up for an exclusive to foot the bill. Which must be very nice…:-)

Still independent.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
