Kim Kardashian Kan't Be Kopied

 Kim Kardashian has filed suit this week. I know, who cares? Well, both fortunately and unfortunately for me, I've decided to become a pop culture blogger which means anything in mass media is in my grasp. Anything including celebrities with no talent, skills, or genuine likability. Kim Kardashian came to the public consciousness via self-promotion and technology, which is a nice way of  putting things. However, since the incident occurred over 4 years ago she has not gone away. And the worst part is nobody's encouraging her to go away. Vegas clubs pay her to host parties, Dancing With the Stars begged her to peg leg across the stage, and magazines ask her to pose for covers naked and then senselessly complain about them. And now she's decided to take the law into her own hands and tell Old Navy not to cast a lookalike in their commercials to make us poor souls believe it is her hiney-ness.
 Really Kim K? Really? The only thing I though about when I saw that Old Navy commercial was why can't we get the quality commercials of the 90's where people get happy and dance, not some chick who looks like you fabulously saving money on this summer's cargo shorts. I honestly don't think that was Old Navy's intention. I think they were just trying to make some money with a non celebrity who has a look. Now Melissa Molinero, in addition to allegedly pilfering Kardashian's ex Reggie Bush has to feel out of sorts because she kind of looks like a non-talented celebutante starlet or whatever she is.
 This isn't the first time a celebrity has sued because their perceived image was being tarnished. Lindsay Lohan (aka the church mouse who can't spring for a shrink) sued eTrader.com after their Superbowl commercial featured a baby of the same name who was a milkaholic.That case ended up getting thrown out by the judge. Either way it made no sense and it made no sense now.
  Kim Kardashian got famous for being friendly with Ray J (Brandy's brother) while the cameras where rolling. Now she can't even let someone who somehow looks like her use the sing and dance in poly cotton blends in the voice she should have tried to lip sync to when she released a single for charity last fall.  Gee whiz! Why kan't we all just get along?
