[b]Kim Kardashian’s quickie divorce filing has shined a bright light on an extravagant lifestyle in which greed trumps genuine emotions — especially in the case of Kim.

“Everything she does is a facade, and that is also true of the wedding,” Jo Piazza, author of Celebrity Inc.: How Famous People Make Money, tells In Touch. “It sort of pulled the curtain back, and now many liken it to a celebutante Ponzi scheme” scandal — although Kim insists that her wedding was "real." After squeezing big bucks out of the E! network, three $20,000 gowns from designer Vera Wang, a $2.5 million deal for wedding photos and a $6,000 cake from Hansen’s, Kim’s plan to donate the wedding gifts to charity sounds more like a cheesy tax write-off than anything else.

And according to one cosmetics professional, the reality star demanded a whopping $60,000 just to use their lip gloss on her show. “We couldn’t believe it,” the cosmetics pro says. But the truth is, it’s very believable of Kim, 31, who another close source claims “won’t set foot in a Vegas club for less than $50,000” — with some promoters paying up to $100,000 for an appearance — and she rakes in a shocking $10,000 per tweet. “Encouraged by her mom, Kris, Kim has become a fame-addicted, money-hungry monster,” says the insider. “She has lost touch with reality.” Once a fun-loving socialite who enjoyed spending time with friends, Kim now won’t go to a party unless she’s paid for it. “She will only wear what she’s being paid to wear,” Piazza notes. “She has incorporated getting paid into every aspect of her life.”[/b]

[b]What do Change.org and Occupy Wall Street have in common with some Kardashian haters? They all are organized groups of people trying to get something done — in the Kardashian case, they want the reality clan off of television for good!

"In a grass roots effort, we have collected [thousands of] signatures for a petition asking E! Entertainment to remove the Kardashian suite of shows from their programming," petition organizer Cyndy Snider said in a statement. "We feel that these shows are mostly staged and place an emphasis on vanity, greed, promiscuity, vulgarity and over-the-top conspicuous consumption."

The petition — available at GoPetition.com — is just one of the organized efforts to get the Kardashian/Jenner clan off television screens, clothes, and perfume and nail polish bottles everywhere. Websites and Facebook pages are also calling for their ouster.

"While some may have begun watching the spectacle as mindless entertainment or as a sort of 'reality satire,' it is a sad truth that many young people are looking up to this family and are modeling their appearance and behavior after them," Snider continued. "I'll remind you here that the Kardashian family fame largely started with a 'leaked' Compromizing Video."

There's even a petition to get Kim Kardashian's role scrapped in the upcoming Tyler Perry film "Marriage Counselor." Comments on the Talk section of his website range from mild to pure outrage over her casting.[/b]
