Nooooooooooooooooooooooo
That's the sound that escaped my mouth as I read the NY Daily News blurb about Kim Kardashian being on the short list for the next edition of Dancing With The Stars. I say we kidnap Tom Bergeron right now and just nip this in the bud.
This is my worst possible nightmare coming true. Seriously. Look you and I and the people who read the internet know about Kim Kardashian. People who are New Orleans Saints fans know who Kim Kardashian is. That's it. Oh, I know she has her show on E!, but lets face it. You me, and about ten other people even know where E! is on their cable.
As I saw it, the show would play itself out after another year or so of Kim eating Hostess and trying trap Reggie any way she could. She then would fade away, only turning up every six months or so on QVC twenty pounds heavier trying to sell some crap people will want to buy because of her name.
She would be gone. Done. Now though there is this. DWTS is a popular show and it is on a network. One week on DWTS will attract more viewers than she has had watch her reality show since it began, combined.
People who don't know that she won an award for worst porn performance by someone still alive will just trust that ABC will only put people on television they can get behind. And they will certainly see that behind. If they let her on this show, I swear to you she will be around for years. Our only hope is that she thinks the show is beneath her and doesn't do it or that Disney comes to their senses and decides they don't want a porn star on their network in prime time. Her blog will attract new fans and new blatherings. I won't be able to take her talk of hard work and sacrifice for the show and how she broke a nail but still soldiered on until the distraction became too much even for her and had a team flown in to put a new nail on and how Reggie was so happy to pay. Each week we'll be forced to look at all the sisters and Bruce Jenner with a dazed look and drool puddling at the side of his mouth.
We just can't let this happen.
