How the media creates fake stars

Radar Online - In the seven years since Kim Kardashian’s sex tape was released, the reality star has managed to go from Paris Hilton hanger-on to an international celebrity worth more than $65 million. How’d she do it?

Newly uncovered court documents obtained exclusively by RadarOnline.com reveal exactly how Kardashian, 34, banked millions by living her life in front of the cameras — and where the money goes.

The jaw-dropping court documents, filed during Kardashian’s divorce from Kris Humphries, lay bare the history of her expenses and paychecks from the time of the couple’s May 2011 engagement to their divorce that October....

“I would never marry for a TV show, [or] for money,” Kardashian said shortly after her wedding to Humphries went down in flames.

But receipts processed around that time show a payment of $175,000 for “The People exclusive deal,” from Time Inc. in May 2011, when the couple celebrated their engagement on the cover of People magazine. There’s a total payment of $1.1 million for the “people magazine exclusive … for wedding.” The magazine ran exclusive photos of the August ceremony as well.

In addition, the documents show a “Payment #1” of $500,000 from E! Entertainment for the “E! Wedding Special,” as well as a payment from E! For $250,000 for “Project W.”

Later in the year, NBC Universal paid them $250,000 for the “final payment on the E! Wedding special,” according to the documents.

As with American capitalism, the whole thing's a Got-damned SCAM.
