Kim Kardashian's Fame Came from a "Special K" Not a Sex Tape

Traditionally the rise to celebrity status comes with a talent, one that is new, exciting, and offers something original. Kim Kardashian and her sisters, Khloe and Kourtney, are an exception to this unwritten rule.

Many say Kim Kardashian has become famous because of a sex tape that was released a few years back, which is the topic for a recent poll that appeared on Yahoo. Most readers commented that Kim had her career "jump started" with her sex tape release.

The readers were asked to answer the question on Yahoo - "Would Kim kardashian be famous without making the tape?" Some of the readers believe she would not be famous today without the tape, while others believe she would still be famous regardless if her sex tape existed or not.

Kim might have gotten some media attention around the release of the tape, but many women have tried their luck with a porn film only to enjoy 15 minutes of fame and then fade back into the masses. Montana Fishburne tried to take the same path that she believed Kim Kardashian took to stardom by releasing a sex tape, according to Us Magazine.

This was to no avail, because after about a month of media frenzy, she just faded away from the news. Kim's so called 'strategy' did not work for Fishburne, Many more have tried and never got noticed. Something else is behind the fame that Kim is enjoying today.

Although Kim is the most famous of the three Kardashian sisters, Khloe and Kourtney are not that far behind her. The sisters share in one driving force, a woman who believed that this was possible and may have started this venture years ago without even realizing it. The woman is Kris Jenner, the mother of this brood of Kardashian beauties.

A foundation for "Keeping Up With The Kardashian's" started over 30 years ago when Kris made the letter "K" a main part of her girls life. Whether it was a bit of vanity on Kris's part (because her name begins with the letter "K") or just a cute thing new moms do, like dressing their kids all alike, it has paid off and the "K" has become somewhat of a trademark for the Kardashian women.

Kris has done much more than re-arrange ordinary names to accommodate her infatuation with the letter "K," she has acted as the girls manager. Her job as a manager seems to be underrated when you think about what her daughters have accomplished.

The Kardashian sisters have beauty, the exotic and healthy kind of beauty, but not a one of them started off singing or acting to get their names up in lights. They are just beautiful. Kris Jenner has built an empire around this beauty.

Kris Jenner appears to have found the right balance between manager and mother when it comes to her daughters. This woman sculpted a new category of celebrity status for her girls, the women that bring nothing more than beauty to the table.

Their personalities have helped sustain their fame, but how Kris Jenner got the Kardashian sisters to where they are today was a stoke of genius. This phenomenon of fame without talent that Kris Jenner has obtained for her girls speaks to her talents as a celebrity manager. It just may be that the real talent in all of this is that of Kris Jenners.
