8 Reasons Why Kim Kardashian's Fame Is Waning
Aug 16th 2012, 23:32

She's seemed, for a while, like a reality star that would do what extraordinarily few reality stars manage to do: stay super famous indefinitely, possibly forever. But despite her high-profile relationship with critical darling and overall amusing hip personality Kanye West, Kim's career just might go the way of Paris Hilton's instead of Beyoncé's, after all.

She hasn't changed her look.  Like, at all.

She hasn't changed her look. Like, at all.

Here's a photo taken from her Twitter with the caption: "Longer & lighter hair for the summer... do you like?" This is newsworthy? I must have missed the part where she flew into a Britney-style fit of rebellion and shaved her head. Because — oh, right — the edgiest/most transformational thing she's ever done is extend her hair three inches, right before getting what was probably a $1k salon job to lighten it just half a shade.

Celebrity haircuts and dye jobs certainly qualify as headlines in the internet age, but if you don't have a reputation for making surprising style statements, eventually audiences stop clicking. If Kim actually did something noticeably different with her look — like Miley, to pinpoint a recent example — we might start clicking on headlines about her again.

Kim Kardashian news just gets more and more mundane as the months go by.

A look at some of the latest headlines: "Kim Kardashian: Psychic Predicted Fame," "Kim Kardashian Calls Sisters Best Friends," "Kim Kardashian Does a Sexy Switcheroo With Her Outfits." What about any of these alleged stories did we not already know about her?

Kim doesn't sell magazine covers.

Kim doesn't sell magazine covers.

"According to a new 'Wetpaint Entertainment' report released on Aug. 10, Kim graced the covers of both Allure magazine and Glamour magazine, which both had horrible months when Kim was on the cover. The report reveals that Kim herself is responsible for selling the least amount of copies of both magazines," writes the Examiner.com.

Kim has a fervent fan base, but she plays it incredibly safe in terms of the things she talks about. Also, she has no specific craft or talent, no exciting forthcoming movie or hotly anticipated album, to highlight. You could say the same thing about Lauren Conrad, but she's turned herself into a role model for millions of young women with lots of DIY and beauty tips to offer. Also, she's at least stepped up her style game.

She was the basis of this highly offensive tweet.

Of course, Kim didn't write this tweet herself. But it was so offensive because it embodies the kind of vapid superficiality she represents.
