Will the REAL Kim Kardashian please stand up?

Normally, this blog has a strict No Kardashian policy. However, there are times when that policy is impossible to enforce. This is one of those times.

Kim Kardashian is suing Old Navy because they aired a commercial with a woman who bears a striking resemblance to the big-butted, no-talent famewhore herself.

Let me repeat that -- not cause it's complicated, but because it's EFFING STUPID: Kim Kardashian is suing Old Navy because an actress who appeared in one of their spots looks like her.


Kim Kardashian is reportedly quite upset over an advertisement for Old Navy (watch below) that she believes intentionally features a look-alike. The socialite and reality TV star, who would probably prefer walking around in the nude to wearing bargain-basement clothing, has filed a lawsuit against the retail chain for unspecified damages. "I’ve worked hard to support the products I’m personally involved with and that I believe in,” Kardashian says in a statement obtained by The Hollywood Reporter. “Kim Kardashian is immediately recognizable, and is known for her look and style. Her identity and persona are valuable. When her intellectual property rights are violated, she intends to enforce them,” adds her intellectual property attorney Gary Hecker. [hollywood reporter]

So, what? Am I to believe that KK owns the copyright, patent and trademark to her look? This poor actress -- who's obviously just trying to make a living by the way -- has the unfortunate albatross of looking like some dopey starfucker hanging around her neck. Now she's gotta be embroiled in this dumb, frivolous lawsuit. Though, it will probably bring her some exposure, so I guess that's a good thing. And, it keeps KK's name in the press, which we know is her main objective above all things.

So, the debate here is whether Old Navy purposefully picked this actress for their commercial to fool people into thinking it was KK. I've seen the commercial. I admit, the resemblance is uncanny. Did I think it was KK? No. Because KK isn't shy about making endorsements and Old Navy probably could have gotten KK for less than they paid the gal in the actual ad. (Bitch loves her face time.)

Here's a side-by-side for comparison:



Eh, what are you gonna do? She is a lawyer's daughter, after all.

it's been rumored that K's ex bf, the football player, has been dating the lookalike since K and the b-ball player's forced engagement.
