How can anyone believe (or care) that Kim Kardashian has started a relationship with Kanye West.

Don’t get me wrong, I have watched my fair share of Keeping up with the Kardashians and Kourtney and Kim take New York and Kourtney and Khloe take Miami and Khloe and Lamar and whatever else E! is churning out.  I also am extremely gullible and thought The Hills wasn’t scripted.  Turns out the finale of that “reality show” was shot on a Hollywood lot.  But even I can see through this.

Kanye releases a new single in which he talks about how he has been in love with Kim since she was with Kris Humphries and he’s lucky he didn’t have Jay-Z cut Hump from the team.

On the day the song is released, Kim and Kanye are spotted going to a movie and then back to Kanye’s place.  Kim then probably called more paparazzi to create a bigger scene for when she was leaving Kanye’s place the following morning, wearing the same clothes she wore the night before.  Then later that day they go to lunch at Serafina, obviously wanting to be seen and fuel their dating rumors.  Now they have got their wish – the story of them dating is everywhere and they will probably both make millions on this.  I wish them all of the best – I really do.  But I just can’t believe that anyone out there thinks this is a real romance and not just a publicity stunt that ends up being a good career move for both.

The Kardashians and E! really are geniuses for creating soap operas out of their lives and playing it off like everything is 100% real.  People enjoy soap operas and the fact that they play it off as real makes it even more intriguing.  I don’t hate them for that but there has got to come a point where it just becomes so unbelievable that the public wises up, calls them on it and stops caring.  Guess we haven’t crossed that line yet and sometimes I really wonder if we ever will.
