Well, unless you’ve been living under a rock or got so drunk on New Year’s Eve that you ended up in hospital, you’ve most likely heard about Kim Kardashian’s pregnancy. My personal reaction to the news was basically ‘ugh, they couldn’t have waited like one more day? I am far too tired to deal with this right now.’ I probably have like 25 different tabs open on this topic right now, this shit blew the whole blogosphere up, so let’s combine it all into one super-mega-ultra post. Hopefully after this we won’t have to discuss it again for awhile, because I actually don’t care that much about either of these two.
Okay, so in case you haven’t seen it yet, here’s Kanye West announcing Kim’s pregnancy on stage:
I’ve never been a huge fan of Kanye but he looks so excited in the video that I couldn’t help but smile. Maybe I’m getting soft in my old age.
According to TMZ, Kim had ‘no idea’ that Kanye was going to announce the pregnancy, as they had planned not to say anything until she started showing, but Kanye was moved to make the announcement on stage because Kim, her best friend, her mother and members of Kanye’s family were in the audience. TMZ says Kim was crying tears of joy when Kanye made the announcement, particularly because he chose one of her favourite songs, ‘Lost in the World,’ to make the announcement. Soon after, Kim confirmed the news on her blog. In a post titled ‘New Year, New Beginnings’, she wrote:
It’s true!! Kanye and I are expecting a baby. We feel so blessed and lucky and wish that in addition to both of our families, his mom and my dad could be here to celebrate this special time with us. Looking forward to great new beginnings in 2013 and to starting a family. Happy New Year!!! Xo
In case you’re unfamiliar, Kim’s father Robert Kardashian died of cancer in 2003, and Kanye’s mother Dr Donda West died from severe complications while in recovery from plastic surgery in 2007. Robert Kardashian was one of OJ Simpson’s best friends and defense lawyers, while Dr Donda West was a noted scholar and the former chairwoman of Chicago State University’s English department.
After the announcement, the entire Internet blew up, and here are some of the responses to the news:
Khloe Kardashian: Keeping secrets is hard with so many family members! Especially when you are so freaking excited. LOVE is everything!!!!
Kourtney Kardashian: Been wanting to shout from the rooftops with joy and now I can. Another angel to welcome to our family. Overwhelmed with excitement.

TMZ also caught Paris Hilton and asked her what she thought of the news, to which she smiled and replied ‘So happy for her, they are perfect for each other.’
The couple rang in the new year in Vegas at 1OAK, where Kim made six figures for turning up and making out with her baby daddy. At the event, she spoke to Entertainment Weekly, where she said:
When people say that pregnancy is fun and they love it, I would have to disagree. Even my sister has made it look easy, and it’s not as easy as people think.
She talked about how it’s painful and how she takes naps all the time now, and how she’s “heard i
t’s all worth it, so [she's] looking forward to that,” which actually made me laugh out loud due to the sheer blase attitude towards her unborn child. Like ‘Oh, I’ve heard having a kid is pretty good, so I guess it’s okay that I have to deal with all this shit right now.’ Also, who the hell says pregnancy is easy? I’ve been around a ton of preggers chicks in the past few years and all of them basically describe it as a veritable nightmare. Even my goddamn Sims don’t find pregnancy easy.
You know, I’m really not into the Kardashians, but what I’m thinking is that after this baby is born she might want to slow down and take some time to raise this kid, soooooo maybe the Kimye foetus will be a beautiful blessing for the whole world, and I’m very into that. We just have to deal with bump watch 2k13 first. Congraulations, Kim and Kanye. Now go away. XOXO
