Kim Kardashian is best known for two things: being Paris Hilton's ex-best friend and her sex tape with budding R&B singer Ray J, brother to famous actress/singer Brandi.
Not unlike her former BFF Hilton, Kardashian was able to parlay her sex appeal and party-girl lifestyle into a career, using her family name (daughter of deceased O.J. Simpson attorney Robert Kardashian) and unique "assets." One of the original group of girls who were "famous for being famous" Kim and her family (which includes her step-father Olympian Bruce Jenner) launched a reality show, Keeping Up With The Kardashians on E!. Kim, born October 21, 1980, is of Armenian descent, currently dating NO Saints NFL star Reggie Bush and is O.J. Simpson's goddaughter.
