Socialite and reality star Kim Kardashian asked her millions of Twitter followers early Friday morning if Cher was dead. Needless to say it was an instant Twitter trend and many Cher fans tweeted in terror. Could this be true??? Nope. Our sister site GossipCop confirmed the pop star was alive and well and the whole [...]

Well, here we are in 2012. And you know what that means; the world is going to end in a few months. The signs are everywhere if you’re willing to look. There are wars, famine, and the dead have even begun to walk the earth.

…ok, well, they’re not actually walking the earth yet. They are, however, busy ending marriages. That’s the takeaway from last night’s episode of Kourtney and Kim Take New York in which it was revealed that the ghostly advice of Kim Kardashian’s dead father, Robert Kardashian, Sr., was what caused her to end her marriage with Kris Humphries.

On January 8th, Kris Humphries, the former husband of reality star Kim Kardashian, shared a cryptic Tweet about his ex-wife’s show, invoking the FCC. “I can’t wait for the truth to come out!” he wrote. “People will be surprised or maybe they won’t. #FCC.” Hashtag: #DRAMA!

There is one strongly held belief of Fox News’ Bob Beckel that I agree with and support wholeheartedly and it has nothing to do with his politics. It’s his belief that absolutely nothing to do with Kim Kardashian should ever be discussed on a channel with “News” in the title. Today on The Five, the group tried to do a segment on how some blah blah group tried to blah blah Kim Kardashian about blah blah blah blah whatever and Beckel had the integrity to give that crap the same amount of respect I am now.

During a campaign stop in Council Bluffs on Sunday evening, Mitt Romney slammed President Obama‘s promises that he made in Iowa during his last campaign, likening them to reality television star/socialite Kim Kardashian‘s broken wedding vows.

A new viral attack video by WorldNetDaily‘s Molotov Mitchell that savages former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, mostly over his personal life, has been blasted to registered Republicans and Independents all over Iowa, according to a press release. The video is pegged to Gingrich’s three marriages, and his refusal to sign The Family Leader‘s controversial “Marriage Vow,” but the punchline is the disturbing sight of Newt Gingrich’s head on Kim Kardashian‘s body. There’s no way to un-see that.

ith the ability to constantly change their physical shape with the speed of a needle or surgeon’s knife. And, like the movie The Matrix, some brave souls are trying to set us free. However, just as in that film, some poor fools don’t want to escape their captivity. They prefer the ease that comes from a life in their gelatinous cocoon, surviving only on the recycled human waste and detritus that is celebrity culture. These people, like the character Cypher, would rather kill the heroes than ever have to live in a world of actual substance.

That is why a heroic Denver woman is receiving death threats after making a petition to get rid of the Kardashians.

Ladies and gentlemen, like the great earthquakes that shaped our planet’s continents thousands of years ago, our political landscape has now been irrevocably altered. Everything is different. Everything has changed.

In an interview calling to mind the recently infamous comments of Anita Perry and Jackie O herself, a new interview with Michelle Obama has forever altered how we as a nation look upon her husband.

Apparently he doesn’t like the Kardashians.

If not in the news then be on the news, you know? Next week the television’s first family, the Kardashians, are taking their first swing at primetime, Bruce Jenner, Kris Jenner, Khloe, Kourtney and of course Kim each having a turn as Hoda Kotb‘s <em>Today</em> co-host. Whether or not they should be being no matter, the Kardashians can really do anything!

First some caveats: no, this is not a typical Mediaite story, and yes, there are many in the world who will ridicule me for posting something that everyone has been talking about for days. It is, however, a late August newsday, and this clip seems to so perfectly reflect some major disconnect going on in the country right now. The story? NBA basketball player Kris Humphries (and recently betrothed husband to reality star Kim Kardashian) reveals that he was not aware of his wife’s previous marriage. Of course he didn’t! Why would he?

Whoever runs the Hollywood Walk of Fame Facebook page deserves the world’s biggest cookie. Apparently, one of their fans inquired if any of the famous Hollywood stars would be given to reality TV characters. You know, because Snooki is just as culturally important as Humphrey Bogart or Samuel L. Jackson. On Monday, the group’s Facebook page explained their position on inducting reality TV stars:

A CNN reporter unfortunate enough to have been sent to report live on location at some sort of street relevant to the wedding of sex tape/reality TV character Kim Kardashian probably already had it bad enough when prompted to deliver exciting news about this momentous affair. Her coverage became viral video material, however, as a child played the cruel but classic television trick of standing behind her for almost a minute, waving, making faces and generally distracting from the solemn news that the middle Kardashian child will officially be off the market today.

There’s a very thin line between heartwarming and annoying so, while some people look at the tale of “golden voiced” Ted Williams and see an inspirational story of overcoming adversity while others just wonder “What’s so great about him?” Add to that second group 61-year-old actress Vicki Lawrence. Lawrence recently dressed up as her most famous character, Mama Thelma Harper from Mama’s Family, and filmed a video (seemingly on an iPhone) dissing the recently homeless Williams.

Sure. Why not.

While discussing Sarah Palin‘s new reality show, Sarah Palin’s Alaska, CNN contributor Roland Martin suggested that Sarah Palin is like the “Kim Kardashian of politics.”

Bill O’Reilly‘s “Culture Warriors” segment is dedicated to protect all the wholesome American kids out there from the barrage of deviant elements to which they are exposed on a daily basis through the media. Needless to say that, excluding the giant Canadian elephant in the room, the segment lends itself perfect to talking about Justin Bieber. Tonight, O’Reilly was concerned about Bieber’s fraternizing with famous lady of questionable repute Kim Kardashian.

Having achieved nobility status in the reality TV world, Kim Kardashian made her big debut in the political world last weekend at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner. A guest of Fox News and Greta Van Susteren, she applauded Fox for being “a very reputable news channel” and confessed it is the only news playing “around the house” when her family gets ready in the morning. And though that may imply certain opinions about the party host, she saved some praise for President Barack Obama, too!

Mashable, the social media blog, is reporting that a new app for Twitter will allow users to compare the fans of different celebrities and see which group is “stupider”. Stupid Fight was created by Tom Scott, a designer who also created the equally mischievous Tweleted, and will probably cause anyone who uses it to become completely addicted…for at least a few hours. Of course, in a world where complex thoughts are broken down to fit into 140 characters, a few hours is nearly a lifetime.

Regardless of the outcomes of the two playoff games this weekend, the Super Bowl will have plenty of compelling story lines. Mediaite presents a four part series where we tell you who’s left in the NFL playoffs, why they matter, and what the media will not stop talking about if they earn a trip to the big game. Part two focuses on the New Orleans Saints.

Today, Ad Age has an in-depth infographic detailing which websites command the highest ad rates today, as impressions skyrocket, threatening the worth of CPMs — a shaky metric from the start. In his piece, Michael Learmonth writes, “And while the recession has put another hit on CPMs … across the web, some sites can still pimp fat ad rates either by virtue of their reach, specialized audience or unique environment.” But still, Kim is Queen.

As Mediaite reported last week, George Stephanopoulos came out of the blocks a strong contender for the Good Morning America anchor slot opened up when Diane Sawyer left to host World News. But lately, Chris Cuomo is giving him a run for his money. Over at AOL, Cuomo appears to be the favorite for the job among readers.

In today’s cutthroat media environment, stories break fast and spoil faster. It doesn’t take long to go from big news to scraps of news to contrary opinions that seem cooked up for shock value. News Decay charts the strange and rapid declines wrought by the 24-hour news cycle.
