Keeping Up With the Kardashians

THEY HIRED THE HOMELESS MAN?

Okay, I admit it. Though I went into it kicking and screaming, it didn't take long for me to get sucked into the lives of those "krazy" Kardashians. I've laughed with them and laughed at them. Theirs is a world filled sex tape scandals, Playboy photo shoots, weekend trips to Vegas and even jumping on the celebrity philanthropy bandwagon. We all remember the episode in which Kourtney and Khloe, the notably less famous sisters of the Kardashian "klan" bring Shorty, the lovable homeless man, home to Mom and Pop. While I couldn't help but cringe over the details of their attempt in humanitarianism, it seemed imposible to ignore the truth: What those girls lack in brain cells, they make up for with an oversized heart... or something like that.

However, I was recently watching an episode of Seinfeld entitled "The Beard." In the last few seconds of the show, Kramer is standing in a police line-up and who do I see standing directly to his right? "OH MY GOD, THAT'S THE HOMELESS MAN FROM THE KARDASHIANS." There is not a trace of doubt in my mind that the man standing shoulder-to-shoulder with Kramer was the infamous Shorty, himself.

Coincidence? Well, I guess it is possible that the producers of Seinfeld cast a real homeless man as an extra and that same homeless man just happened to trek all the way to California on his own accord only to inadvertantly end up in front of the cameras once again. Yeah, right. If this man was lucky enough to have things work out so well for him he wouldn't be homeless in the first place, now would he? Obviously the makers of Keeping Up with the Kardashians, or the family members themselves, hired him.

Well, I've been keeping up with the Kardashians, but I'm also keeping up with my old friends Jerry and the gang. They can't get anything past me.


"And what's the lesson we learned today, girls? It doesn't pay to pay a man to be homeless just to make us seem nicer than we really are."

When does this show come on? I caught several episodes one day about two weeks ago, but can't seem to find where they've placed it permanently. I watched while babysitting and because there was nothing else on I tuned in to the first episode and got completely sucked in for several in a row! Unfortunately the little child woke up from his nap wanting to watch tv and I had to hurridly switch it from the playboy episode. (unfortunately I was able to see Kris posing gynocoligically... )

It's on Sunday nights, and I think replayed on Tuesday. They had the season finale already, but it is coming back for a 2nd season.
I would not be surprised if the homeless guy was cast. The girl that played the nanny was cast. In real life, she is Bree Olson the pornstar.

have only seen a couple of episodes but this family nauseates me-- although i gotta give 'em props for being so seemingly tight knit, close and loving.

anyway thought it was rude that the nanny that was hired was trashed so publicly like that (called a slut by the one daughter) and treated like she was (the way in which they let her go, fired her, was abhorrent imo) really felt bad for the girl.she couldnt help it that she was such a cute young thang (a threat in their minds) and i seriously doubt that she had the hots for bruce, get real!!!

I wouldn't feel bad for her, Lucy. She wasn't a nanny in real life, she was a paid actress who auditioned for, and was hired to play that part. As others have noted above, she's actually a porn star actress. So yeah, she is a slut in real life, but not a nanny in real life, her appearance on this trainwreck show was an acting gig for her. There was nothing 'real' about the nanny episode.

OH, well that puts a whole 'nother light on the subject then doesnt it? i only caught the last part of the show anyway, missed like the first 20 minutes and have only seen 2 other episodes besides that. anyhoo, thanks for the explanation.

(hadnt even read any of the posts on this thread before i posted that either, lol)

I can't believe, well I can Bruce just let her go through the closet, sunbathe not watch the kids.

I like Chloe, she cracks me up. Love when she left the voicemail for her mom about the nanny.

Do the sisters (older ones) all have the same mom and dad? They don't really look all that much alike, especially the short one.

Sure do, Van. All the kids except the two youngest girls have Robert Kardashian and Kris as parents. The two younger girls are the kids of Kris and Bruce Jenner.

I have only seen a few episodes and caught the marathon today and am a little more filled in now. I was confused because I had only seen ones since Khloe went to jail for DUI. And how the dad had been dead for like 4 years. I now know that Bruce and Kris have been married for 16 years. Makes more sense now. I didn't understand why they always cared so much about what he thought about what they did.

I also saw the beginning and how it said parts of the DUI episode were re-enacted. I was going to say, why did they let her drive off, knowing she was so drunk. Although it looks like her sisters let her drive anyway. I guess it happens. People always think they are ok to drive.

I just caught a few of the episodes and most of the time the focus was on Kim's butt.
