"Born Kimberly Noel Kardashian on October 21, 1980, Kim Kardashian has made a quick transition from Paris Hilton-style socialite to one of the world&amp;#039;s top-earning reality stars.  She&amp;#039;s everywhere and she&amp;#039;s one busy lady. From reality shows to perfume and clothing ranges, it&amp;#039;s hard to escape one of Hollywood&amp;#039;s hottest families, but how much do we really know about the most famous Kardashian sister? 1. Her father was Robert George Kardashian, a US attorney and businessman, and her mother Kris Jenner started her career as an air hostess before marrying Robert, 11 years her senior. Robert gained national fame as OJ Simpson&amp;#039;s friend and defence attorney during Simpson&amp;#039;s 1995 trial for the murder of his wife. The trial is said to have caused conflict between the couple, as Simpson&amp;#039;s wife Nicole Brown Simpson had been close friends with Kris. The pair separated when Kim was a teenager, and she stayed close to her father until he died in 2003.  2. Kim&amp;#039;s stepfather is famed US Olympian Bruce Jenner. Jenner won a gold medal in the 1976 Olympics for the decathlon. 3. Kim first gained notoriety in 2007 when a home sex tape was released which featured her and singer Ray J. Vivid Entertainment bought the rights to the video for $1 million and released the film. Kim sued the company but later dropped the lawsuit and walked away with a hefty $5 million.   4. Her big break came when her family starred in the hit show Keeping Up with the Kardashians, which is now in its seventh series. It spawned a number of successful spinoff series such as Kourtney and Kim Take New York, Khlo\u00C3\u00A9 &amp;amp; Lamar and Kourtney and Khlo\u00C3\u00A9 Take Miami. Filming for Kourtney and Kim Take Miami started in October 2012. 5. Kim is one of ten siblings. She has sisters Khlo\u00C3\u00A9 Kardashian Odom and Kourtney Kardashian, brother Robert Kardashian, step-brothers Burton Jenner, Brandon Jenner and Brody Jenner, step-sister Casey Jenner and half-sisters Kendall Jenner and Kylie Jenner. Khlo\u00C3\u00A9, Kourtney, Robert, Kendall and Kylie star alongside Kim in Keeping Up with the Kardashians, and Brody Jenner found fame from his appearances in MTV&amp;#039;s The Hills. That is one big Hollywood family... 6. She was nominated for a Razzie Award for &amp;#039;Worst Supporting Actress&amp;#039; for her performance in 2009&amp;#039;s Disaster Movie. 7. In December 2010, Kim filmed a music video for her not-so-hit single &amp;#039;Jam (Turn it Up)&amp;#039;, which premiered during a New Year&amp;#039;s Eve party in Las Vegas that year.       8. Kim married NBA star Kris Humphries in August 2011 in an extravagant wedding ceremony... They divorced 72 days later. Just wasn&amp;#039;t meant to be, eh Kim? 9. PETA has previously named Kim as one of the worst people in regards to animal welfare. Kim is known for wearing fur and has previously had flour thrown on her at a red carpet by animal rights activists.  10. Her latest beau is music star Kanye West (Kimye, anyone?), and in December 2012 the pair announced they are expecting their first child together.  "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
