Kim Kardashian's Wedding Will Make Her Millions

By Jo Piazza Posted May 25th 2011 12:30PM

The Kardashian klan moves awfully fast. Blink and you might miss another quickie engagement and wedding. On the heels of Kim's engagement news this morning, sources close to the family tell me TV execs are already talking how to spin Kim Kardashian's impending wedding to Kris Humphries into yet another gold rush.

One of the options is to start a new spin-off show, starting now, that would follow Kim getting ready for the big day, culminating in a televised ceremony.

"Kris Humphries might not have known what he was getting into. This wedding is going to happen very much in the public eye," an insider told me. "And they will make millions off of it."

Of course they will. The Kardashians have built their $65 million empire on complete candor about all aspects of their lives. That isn't going to change now. Kim's wedding could turn into the highest rated program E! has ever seen, especially if they build up to it with its own show.

"I've always dreamed of a big wedding. I'll probably do something really over-the-top. Super feminine but still really modern, chic and cool, but it has to have a lot of heart, it has to be all about the family," Kardashian told PEOPLE.

And with a big wedding can come big bucks. No doubt Kris Jenner will milk the wedding for all the promotional opportunities it is worth

Over at Forbes, Mark Pasetsky is already speculating about how much Kim's wedding photos will sell for. His guess is at least $2 million for domestic rights to the photos. There is at least an additional $1 million to be made in international rights.

Then there are the sneakier income streams -- wedding vendors will be willing to pay big bucks to be featured in the celebrity nuptials of the year.

At the end of the day, I'm predicting this marriage could net the Kardashians at least $5 million.

For some strange reason we have created these "reality" monsters. People who are famous for nothing. People who sell their privacy and dignity for fame and money. It has gotten downright creepy. Millions of dollars for a wedding? Two million dollars for an engagement ring? There is nothing here of any real value.

Who really cares about these people? Keeping track of people like this is more or less vicariously living your life thru them. What they are - & how they live is absolutely of no consequence to me. What a waste of time.

By Carlee

Surprised? Not really-I seem to remember another LATE BREAKING story, didn't Reggie Bush just dump her, then, oh yes, she turned THIRTY! An old maid in her own mind? Poor first husband, I pray for no more idiots in the gene pool...

It's very telling: Kim has finally hogtied a fella to propose and she and her mother want the wedding to be televised? This bit of news speaks volumns. It's not about falling in-love at all. Someone, please, have a stern talk w/ Kris Humphries and knock some sense into him. Sure, to him, Kim is quite the prize and a "nerdy" guy would love the attention of a "beautiful" girl, this poor chap is going to regret he ever laid eyes on this opportunist. What a sham! I'll say it again, "poor guy"!

This guy has a scared expression..

I'd surely watch the wedding. I laughed my head off at Khloe's wedding watching Kris, Kim, and Bruce try to show some emotion. They were so full of botox their faces didn't even move. I wouldn't miss the chance to watch that debacle all over again. It was hilarious, and even a little sad.

By ohiodi

Maybe Obama's will get invited to this wedding.

By jenny

it;s sad what some people will do to make money & promote themselves. a wedding should be a very personal expirence for all involved. it sickens me that someone would cheapen it. but when you dont care enough about your dignity or that of others around you, as proven by sex tapes & really horrible reality shows, you'll do anything to make a dollar. i give it a year. tops.
