Kimberly Noel Kardashian (born October 21, 1980 in Los Angeles, California) is one of the three daughters of the late lawyer Robert Kardashian who worked on the sensational OJ Simpson trial. Kardashian's initial media attention was centered on her close friendship with Paris Hilton, but her notoriety exploded and fame rose after it was revealed that she had made a sex tape with ex-boyfriend Ray-J.
Her mother Kris Jenner is her manager. In August 2007, Ryan Seacrest Productions signed Kardashian to appear in her own new series produced by Seacrest for the E! cable channel featuring Kardashian and family members. The series Keeping Up With The Kardashians debuted on October 14.
