In news that’s sure to depress and nauseate you, Kim Kardashian was just crowned 2010′s highest paid reality star. Us Magazine says:

In a top-10 “Highest Paid Reality TV Stars” piece, The Daily Beast estimates that Kim earned an estimated $6 million over the past year.

In addition to her shows on E! (Keeping Up with the Kardashians and two related spinoffs) Kim has endorsed many products, including a cupcake mix, Kotex tampons and Skechers sneakers. She reportedly can earn up to $75,000 for an appearance, and collaborates with sisters Khloe and Kourtney on weight-loss supplements [and] a QVC line.

I think she’s a real inspiration. She’s living proof that if you believe in yourself and are willing to let somebody pee on you, your dreams really can come true! If that doesn’t have “motivational poster” written all over it, I don’t know what does. I might even embroider it on a throw pillow.

Kim Kardashian has a new calendar coming out for 2009, proving once again that being peed on can really pay off in spades for a girl. The calendar is chock full of Kim making “sexy poses” (re: finger in mouth and I-smell-a-fart-face) and lots of quaint seasonal folklore for each month of the year, like “Golden showers bring May flowers” and “March cums in like a lion and all over my face and then videotapes it to show all his friends.” It’s semi-pornographic and practical! That’s what we in the business like to call “a win-win.”

I know, I know — I’ll put up the HQ as soon as they are available:
