The Most Controversial Lady in Pearls for 2014: Kim Kardashian for Paper Magazines

If there is anything that we all can agree on when it comes to the Keeping Up with the Kardashians Reality TV star is that she is very famous. We may argue about how she became famous, but it does not take away from the fact that she is known in homes far and wide; and she has a derriere that could cause an eclipse.
