the name Kim Kardashian may be most closely associated with the infamous "sex tape" with ex-boyfriend singer Ray J, but she has since rebounded from the scandal with more publicity-worthy projects. Kim is co-owner of DASH, women's boutique in Calabasas, CA, with her sisters, and Smooch children's boutique; co-star of the popular E! reality show Keeping Up with the Kardashians; and girlfriend to

my inbox has recently been flooded with the below information.IN CASE YOU DIDN'T KNOW..... PASS IT ON. Please, please, please advise everyone you know that they absolutely can NOT go to the polls wearing any Obama (or whoever you are voting for) shirts, pins, hats, etc. It is AGAINST THE LAW and will be grounds to have the polling officials to turn you away.

for as long as i can remember Air Jordans have been the must-have shoe that crosses all types of lines - color, gender, age. it seems as though as soon as they drop, the only problem the stores have is keeping them in stock. this past weekend was no different when the "Olympic" pack (shown above) was released and sold out not only in the stores, but online as well. many stores have since
