Indeed, the reality star and the Oscar winner appeared to have very little in common, and even less to beef over, until both debuted a couple VERY blonde hair color changes today in separate parts of the world.
Kim Kardashian has gone platinum. And so has Jared Leto! Which star looks better?
View Poll »
Both Kardashian and Leto could totally now be a part of House Slytherin, but the real question is this: Who looks better as a blonde?
Compare the looks. Contrast the differences. Let your voice be heard via the poll above and then click through different angles of Kim Kardashian's new look below:
But just how hard has the couple been trying? This much we're about to find out.
In a new trailer for Keeping Up with the Kardashians Season 10, the most famous member of this terrible family complains to Khloe that she and her husband are having sex "500 times a day" in order to give little North a sibling.
Check out Khloe's reaction to this TMI tidbit now:
These include major legal drama between Kourtney Kardashian and Kris Jenner, along with Bruce Jenner feeling "separated" from the Jenners and the Kardashians.
According to the official synopsis for the March 15 premiere, the siblings will struggle with their parents' divorce on the opener, while the issue of Bruce dating one of Kris' best friends will also take center stage.
That's nearly as awkward as your ex-husband wanting to get a sex change!
Yesterday, Khloe Kardashian celebrated Throwback Thursday by posting a pic of her and (most of) her sisters on Instagram.
No date exact date was provided, but based on how young lil Kylie is looking we'd say this pic is at least ten years old.
So it makes sense that Khloe likes the pic (She actually looks better a decade later, thanks to her unfortunate early-'00s styling.), but how do her sisters feel?
Kourtney has no cause for complaint, as she also looks more or less the same, ten years and three kids later, but what about Kim and Kylie?
If there are still any Kim Kardashian plastic surgery deniers out there, we suggest they compare this photo to a recent one of Kim and then get back to us.
As for Kylie, we won't cite this photo as evidence that the Kylie Jenner lip injection rumors are 100% true (though they are), because, ya know...faces tend to change a lot between 7 and 17.
We will, however, use it as a reminder of the fact that Kylie is really, really young and should not be posting semi-nude selfies or dating a 25-year-old!
If your early childhood photos were taken with a digital camera and posted on social media, you are not yet an adult. Fact.
As previously depicted, the reality star dyed her hair an extreme shade of blonde while in Paris this week, shocking fans with a number of photos of herself and her new 'do out and about around town.
And also with her cowgirl-themed outfit in this snapshot:
But why did Kim make like Jared Leto? What inspired this significant change in her appearance?
"It's a really fun adventure for her!" Lorri Goddard, the co-owner of Goddard + Bragg, a salon in West Hollywood, tells Us Weekly, adding:
"It's something she's said outright that she's been thinking about for a while, but the time just hasn't been right."
Goddard - whose other famous clients include Reese Witherspoon and Jennifer Lawrence - explained that Kardashian’s freshly cut hair contributed to the timing of the dye job.
"Now that Gregory [Russell] did that great bob for her, which is such a fresh, cool look, it was the perfect time for her to go on a color adventure. To just have fun with it!"
We guess Kim looks like she's having fun in these photos. Kind of? Sort of? A little bit at least?
Because we honestly can't think of any other way the 34-year-old wife and mom could cram more enjoyment into her life of luxury.
For the past week, Kim's been flaunting her huge boobs and blonde locks in Paris for the semi-annual Fashion Week festivities, and while the French have been going nuts for Mrs. West (as they always do, for some reason) at least one member of her family is unimpressed:
A source close to the Kardashians tells Radar Online that eldest sister Kourtney thinks Kim should be spending more time at home with her 20-month-old daughter North, and less time globetrotting with Kanye West.
"If you notice, Kourtney and Kim are never together anymore," says the insider. "Ever since Kim married Kanye, she doesn't even recognize her sister. Kourtney cannot handle being around Kim."
At previous Fashion Weeks, Kim has been accused of using her daughter as an accessory by dragging North to runway shows and other age-inappropriate activities.
Sources have claimed that Kim only brings Nori along in her travels, if she knows there will be photo-ops involved. Kourtney is reportedly wise to the routine and thinks that Kim has her priorities reversed.
"Kourtney is a hands-on mom," says the insider. "Unlike Kim she is actually present in her kids' lives. Being a good mom comes from what you do when the cameras aren't rolling."
Hmm...not an issue for most families, but good advice, we suppose.
We may never know for sure why Kim went blonde, but we can be pretty sure the response has been a bit more negative than she expected.
Kim has been the butt (pun intended) of even more jokes than usual lately and naturally, the social media geniuses of America have chosen to get their mock on using their favorite form of online humor - the meme:
Some of the jokes are obvious. (She was begging for the Malfoy comparisons with the slicked-back coif and black velvet jacket.)
There are others plenty of others, however, that we never would have thought of on our own. (Random 7th Heaven reference, anyone?)
There's even a meme that suggests that Kanye might be slowly turning Kim into a Beyonce doppelganger, a la Jimmy Stewart in Vertigo.
That movie even features an actress named Kim making a big mistake by going blonde, but we're guessing neither half of Kimye has seen it, so we'll move on:
The important thing is that we all agree Kim should go back to black before she returns to the US. Seriously, Kim, if you don't have time while you're in Paris, and you can't take dye on the plane just bring some shoe polish on board and go MacGyver.
After unveiling a couple promos in anticipation of Keeping Up with the Kardashians Season 10, which kicks off on Sunday, March 15, E! has now released the first sneak peek from an upcoming episode.
In the following footage, Kim explains that she wants to remember her body how it is at the moment because she knows it will eventually change once again.
Kim Kardashian apparently likes her hair the opposite color from how she likes her men.
Just a couple days after stunning the universe via an extreme dye job, the reality star lightened her locks even more this week, going from platinum blonde to practically white while in Paris for Fashion Week.
Cameras caught Kim exiting the salon L'Atelier on Saturday, clearly having underdone yet another dramatic makeover at the hands of a French stylist.
What do you think of her fresh look?
After her second dye job, white-haired star attended her husband Kanye West's concert, posting the following photo on Instagram and writing as a caption:
"Watching Bae perform tonight at The Louis Vuitton Foundation/ Frank Gehry Museum."
As for why Kardashian chose to go blonde, Lorri Goddard, the woman in West Hollywood responsible for the first dye job, told Us Weekly that her client has been contemplating this change for awhile.
Once she got her hair cut into more of a bob, the lighter color simply made more sense Kim decided "just to have fun with it."
And, as you might expect, the Internet has had its own kind of fun in return.
Kourtney Kardashian is feeling betrayed and is purposely distancing herself from her younger sisters Kim and Khloe Kardashian, according to a new report.
Why? It's all about priorities.
According to a source close to the oldest Kardashian sister, “She has been purposely distancing herself from them because she feels slightly betrayed.”
“Kourtney and Kim have had it out many times over the years," and recently, the former has been fed up with Kim partying instead of being a mom.
Posting the adorable throwback photo above, Kourtney wrote, "I found this picture of me sleeping with my first little angel baby, Monsieur Mason Dash."
"This is what life is all about."
A subtle shot at Kim, who's off traveling the world doing whatever it is Kim does and not kicking back at home with North West? It does seem that way.
Moreover, "Kourtney cannot stand how fake [Kim] is and says that she could ‘look like that too if she went to every cosmetic surgeon in L.A.,'” the source said.
Ouch. Her frustrations aren't limited to Kim, however. The girls' younger sister Khloe Kardashian is also at odds with Kourt due to their shifting lifestyles:
“With Khloe, Kourtney and she were super tight in the past, but she cannot even deal with her anymore because she has become a completely different person."
But she once tried! Kim attempt to break into the music world by releasing a single in 2011 called Jam (Turn it Up) and donated half of song's profits to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital.
Kim once had her own flavor of cupcake mix called "va-va-vanilla." It was available at the Famous Cupcakes shop in Beverly Hills until it closed in 2011.
There hasn't been a single incident or blowout fight, but the lingering frustration with Kim and Khloe has reportedly started to take its toll on Kourtney.
The longtime girlfriend of Scott Disick and mother to Mason, 5, Penelope, 2 and newborn son, Reign, recently skipped a family outing to New York City.
She reportedly didn't want to “deal with the drama" and ironically, "in a sense, Khloe has become Kim which is why the two of them are bestie-sisters now."
“But Kourtney is okay with this because she has been focusing a lot of her energy on getting in shape after the baby and on her relationship with Scott."
“They have been in a holding pattern for a couple of years because of his alcoholism. Now that he is consciously choosing differently, it has changed everything."
Scott Disick and Kourtney Kardashian have had sex at least three times, but we rarely see them express any sort of love or affection. That made this scene stand out.
The backlash against Melissa McCarthy's Elle cover was FIERCE with critics blaming the magazine for trying to hide Melissa's curves. Melissa responded "Hey, I have curves. I love that jacket. STFU." or something like that.
Mad Men's beautiful Christina Hendricks was once asked if she enjoyed being a role model for "full figured" women. "Are you calling me fat?" she replied, before her agent could end the interview.
Clarkson has shrugged off these insults and simply said Hopkins doesn't know her.
If Hopkins did know her, Clarkson says, she would think differently. Because she's awesome!
And we couldn't agree more! Clarkson is one of many female celebrities who will never be mistaken for a Size Zero, but who who we would still classify as our hottie heroes!
These women should strut their stuff loud and strut their stuff proud.
And Katie Hopkins should never be allowed to speak ever again.
And, no, the singer does not mean that as a compliment.
A few days after Kardashian dyed her brown locks blonde (and thendyed them practically white), Cyrus has taken to Instagram to make her thoughts on this drastic change well known to millions of followers.
And this photo pretty much speaks for itself, doesn't it?
The image was actually first posted by Justin Anderson, Miley's personal hair guru and a colorist at the Chris McMillan Salon, along with the Creative Director of dpHUE.
He shared it online and wrote as a caption:
"No one said being blonde for Fashion Week gon' be easy, sweetie. Just wait for the toner. S—t burns, trust me."
Miley then posted the snapshot herself, writing "OMG" as her caption.
The artist, of course, is very familiar with extreme makeovers. It wasn't all that long ago that Cyrus sported long, dark tresses herself.
She's since cut many inches off the top of her head and Miley bleached her hair platinum blonde in January.
Kardashian, meanwhile, is undaunted by any criticism over her look. She has shared over 20 photos of herself on Instagram in the three days since changing up her appearance, writing recently along with one of them:
According to Madonna, Kanye West is the perfect example of a black Madonna.
According to Kim Kardashian, meanwhile, she recently dyed her hair platinum because she wants to be a blonde Madonna!
Asked by People Magazine on Saturday what inspired her drastic hair color change, the reality star cited the Material Girl in her response.
“I’ve always had this image of Madonna with platinum hair in my references folder on my computer and I’ve been waiting a long time to try the look,” Kardashian explained. “I thought what better time than right now for Paris Fashion Week.”
Still, Kim insists that the dye job was a "last minute" decision.
And she clearly has no regrets over it.
Including the image above, the former sex tape participant has shared nearly two dozen snapshots of herself and her new locks on Instagram in the last few days alone.
Might we soon see Kim go even more radical with her hair?
“I think it would be really fun to try that short turquoise hair that Kylie has,” she said, hopefully joking about her half-sister's bold style choice.
What do you think of Kim Kardashian as an extreme blonde? Miley Cyrus is aghast by it. Kim's followers seem stunned by it.
We're just glad it provided the Internet with a chance to make the following memes...
While it can be jarring to see stars with no makeup, you need to click through the following photos to view something even more jarring:
Paolo Ballesteros with makeup.
The 32-year-old Filipino actor/model/makeup artist rose to viral fame in December by transforming himself into a various female celebrities, from Kim Kardashian to Katy Perry to Ariana Grande.
And now he's back with a number of new makeovers, making it clear that he follows the latest trends by morphing into Dakota Johnson, a newly blonde Kim Kardashian and many others:
Paolo Ballesteros is a 32-year old makeup artist who has taken to transforming himself into various celebrities. Such as Kylie Jenner, as depicted here.
Ballesteros told The Huffington Post that the most challenging aspect of his metamorphoses is getting the nose exactly right.
"My nose is smaller and shorter [than most celebrities]," he said. "It took me a while to figure out how to do it. By drawing new nostrils, it made my nose more pointy or bigger."
Whatever he did, it's safe to say Ballesteros was successful, wouldn't you say?
Click through the above pictures and drop you jaw in utter amazement. That's the same dude making himself look JUST like Jennifer Lawrence and company!
"Here to sing some of the famous tweets from a woman for whom she named one of her chickens, Miss Kim Kardashian, please welcome Bette Midler," Kimmel said to kick off a segment that featured Midler doing exactly that:
Putting music and lyrics to some of Kim's best Tweets.
Or worst Tweets, depending on your point of view.
"Ugh I hate falling asleep with all my makeup on," Midler crooned, later belting out another klassic: "I never thought I would ever say this... But I'm wearing flats today."
This is the second time in just a few days that another celebrity has mocked Kim Kardashian.
Midler's performance follows Miley Cyrus slamming Kim's new hair color on Instagram, while the Internet itself has also taken to poking some fun at Kardashian's lighter locks.
Based on a new Instagram photo and caption, we get the very strong feeling that Kim Kardashian wants to have sex with Kanye West.
The reality star shared a grainy picture on her social media account yesterday, biting the cheek of a very serious-looking Kanye in the image.
But that's not all! Kim included with the selfie the emojis eggplant and a peach!
See.. an eggplant is shaped sort of like a penis. And the peach picture Kardashian put up has a slit in it and... nevermind. You either get it or you don't.
(Editor's Note: Please tell us that no one 13 years or younger reading this right now gets it.)
Kim Kardashian and Kanye West are actively trying for a second baby, so it would make sense they'd be having a lot of sex.
This would also make sense simply because they are husband and wife.
Last week, the queen of reality television shocked fans around the world when she walked the streets of Paris is newly dyed blonde hair.
But while followers try to process the color on top of Kim's head, it's important to remember that she isn't starting a trend here. She's simply continuing one.
Overall the past couple years, various stars from various industries have gone platinum; some who never should have considered blonde hair and others who have rocked the look like a champ.
Where does Justin Bieber fit in on this scale? Miley Cyrus? Multiple stars from the HBO hit Girls?
Click through the above gallery for a peek at some platinum celebrities and then prepare to be taken aback below by the celebrities who naturally possess this shade of hair...
Kim loves taking photos of North West, too, of course, because baby pictures are like selfies that don't make you look like a self-obsessed egomaniac. You get all of the praise, but none of the concerns that you suffer from narcissistic personality disorder.
But it seems like the ideal situation for Kim is when she gets to combine her love of herself with her love for little Nori with a selfie/baby picture:
Yes, North wasn't cropped out of this selfie, but maybe she should've been. North is as adorable as ever, of course, but some folks have taken issue with this photo.
The problem, apparently, is that Kim captioned this pic, "Reading books before bedtime," which led many to believe she allows North.
It's hard for Kim to do much of anything without receiving some criticism, and allowing North to maybe, possibly doze off with a potential choking hazard around her neck is no different.
To be clear: If Kim allows her 21-month-old daughter to sleep alone through the night with a sting of pearls around her neck, then yes, someone should tell her to stop doing that.
But if she lies in bed and reads with her daughter, who happens to be wearing a necklace, well...she might actually be a better mom than she gets credit for.
But our standards are pretty low. As long as she doesn't leave North in a Paris hotel room again, we're pretty happy with Kim's progress.
No one was really surprised, because that's kinda what Kim does - shows up to an event and steals the show with a ridiculous style statement.
This time, however, was a bit different, as the family star of the show was supposed to be Kendall Jenner, who landed A-list Fashion Week modeling gigs with Chanel and Fendi.
Naturally, Kim's golden locks stole the spotlight, and Kendall is reportedly pissed about it.
"The whole family, aside from Kris, of course, thinks that Kim's intentions with going blonde were purely selfish," an insider tells Radar Online.
"She is supposed to be in Paris supporting Kendall, and the fact that she dyed her hair and did this drastic overhaul to one-up her younger sister is quite pathetic.
"Kim simply cannot stand anyone else in the family and she will go to any lengths to make sure it is always the Kim show, guest-starring her sisters."
The competition between Kim and Kendall has reportedly gotten so intense that Kendall is moving to London to get out from under her sister's shadow.
As for Kim's new platinum look? The insider says it's just a temporary change to help her steal Kendall's thunder.
"The blonde thing is not going to stick," says the source. "As soon as she gets back to LA, she is going back to brunette."
We're guessing even Kendall would agree that's probably the right decision.
Kim Kardashian really wants you to feel sorry for her.
The reality star hung out last night with a bunch of professional beauties (sister Kendall Jenner, along with Joan Smalls, Lily Donaldson, Cara Delevingne and Gigi Hadid), posting a photo on Instagram that showed off her large breasts.
As well as the good time had by all.
But Kim supposedly felt inferior in the looks department to those with which she was keeping company, writing as a caption to this image:
"Not insecure at all standing next to these super models."
Cue the sympathy violins and hurry up: Shower Kim with compliments now!
We're sure she's totally serious in thinking that Gigi Hadid is better looking than she is and not all just throwing herself a fake pity party in order to earn praise from her millions of followers.
Then again, Kim does have a reason to perhaps feel sensitive these days: First, Miley Cyrus mocked her new blonde hair.
Kim Kardashian is touting a new product in this selfie. It's a waist corset thingy that continues to prove she is a HORRIBLE role model for young women.
It's even been rumored that the Kimye prenup contains a "second child clause," so it's not hard to see why Kim is do desperate to pop out a little sibling for North.
Unfortunately, it may not be in the cards, and sources say Kim and Yeezy have gown so frustrated in their attempts to get pregnant that they're simply giving up...for now.
"Kim has been taking a break from trying to get pregnant," a source tells Radar Online. "She really, really wants to give North a sibling, but she is saying that she has been too stressed about it, so she has stopped trying for now."
The insider says even the fact that Kim went blonde for Paris Fashion Week is an indicator that she's no longer trying for a second baby.
"Kim bleached her hair and she's focusing on looking her best," says the insider. "She just isn't going to make getting pregnant her only priority right now."
That said, Kim might be holding out hope that she'll return from Paris with a bun in the oven.
"Europe is a good luck place for her and Kanye, since North was conceived in Florence," says the source. "She just wants to ignore the fact that she hasn't been able to get pregnant, hoping that if she relaxes a bit, it will happen for her."
