Shock waves were felt on Thursday when ABC announced they were ditching their marquee soap operas in exchange for cheaper reality and talk shows. In one fell swoop, 'All My Children' and 'One Life to Live' were snuffed out, joining other staples 'Guiding Light' and 'As the World Turns' in the soap dustbin. I just so happened to be chatting with Kim Kardashian backstage at LXTV as the news was spreading and she tried to lighten the sour mood by sharing her own hilarious theory for the cancellations."Well, Kourtney was just recently on ['One Life to Live'], so I think she killed the entire 30-year brand," she joked.
HOWLING!
Kourtney showed up on 'One Life' for the March 28 episode, playing a personal injury lawyer named -- get this -- Kassandra Kavanaugh. Though her performance was pretty much panned by critics, ratings were up and it drew the show's biggest audience of the week.
She even brought more attention to the now-doomed soap by telling Jay Leno days later that her kissing scene made her feel like a prostitute.
So you see, Kimmy, I think if the show had more Kardashians (like you, you, you!), fans may be enjoying more 'Life to Live'!
All joking aside, Kim is hitting the airwaves this week to promote the Tria home laser hair removal product. Watch for more highlights of my naughty chat with Kim right here at PopEater!

Well, well, well, PopEater could NOT resist once again giving us MORE useless information on this tool who does nothing but take up air and space! Color me surprised...

The whole clan (including Mom, who thinks she's 25) should stick to hand stands on beer kegs, and cash cards.
Kim drives a car that gets 8 miles to a gallon of gas, and all of them sickeningly wear fur.
They have no sense of reality. How about calling them Seacrest Puppets?
I saw that eposolde and it was alful...she really can't act.I guess playing youself on tv isn't acting at all...just being your dumb self..sorry gf

Too Much Credit, It was Echo Who killed one life, just like Reva killed Guiding light and Rachel killed Another world. Too much airtime for the "diva" of each show. Then they overpay them and hire actors that should be called something else. shame shame. Keep OLTL and get rid of Echo,Charlie and BO!

What a mean thing to say about her sister. Just goes to show you that she is a jealous, attention getter and if it's not all about her she can't take it. Kourtney did a better job on the soap than Kim did in her sex video. This no talent nitwit needs to grow up!

Good to know that Kim has a good sense of humor!

Does anyone really care about this crap?

Well, well, well once again you haters can't resist talking badly about these beautiful, successful women. Why even click if you don't care? What hideous cows you must be!

BTW Jules,
You should probably revisit literacy before you call anyone dumb!

Yeah, right. Kourtney, all by herself, killed a 40-some-odd-year-old soap opera. Just like Terrell Owens, all by himself, drove the 49ers, Eagles and Cowboys out of the NFL. That's rich. The only thing dumber than Kim's statement is anyone who actually believes her. Jesus Christ...

Jesus Christ had nothing to do with it!
Everything they are involved in dies.

Out of all, court is prob the ugliest & no talent of the group. Im so sick of having this whole family shoved in my face everywhere, wish they's all go away. What kind of taste does everyone have today??? Yuck!!

Kim's shows off her plunging neckline porn costume waaaaay to much !

Is it because she is trying to take the focus off of her overly large behind?
I'm a guy over 50 so I don't know much about Kourtney other than the "8 mile to the gallon" car of her's...a new Rolls Royce Ghost. Don't know if it is her taste in automobiles or a very good friend. Either way someone has incredible taste!

The Kardashians should be paying royalties to Popeater and AOL for constantly manufacturing "stories" (if you can call them that) for them that are not related in any way to them. Geesh they have their name on here every day or two.
I see they are promoting another crap product (home laser hair removal) LOL They will put their name on anything.

Who cares what she has to say? Why does the media glisten her pedantic sentiment?
