Kim Kardashian got a lot of flak from bloggers, fans and the media for dressing inappropriately while heavily pregnant, which she misconstrued as criticism for gaining weight, but she’s determined to have the last laugh now that she gave birth and is almost back to her pre-pregnancy weight.

The curvaceous reality star has already lost about 25 pounds (11.3 kg) on the Atkins Diet since North was born in mid-June, and she’s dying to show off her amazing results whichever way she can.

This is how she came up with the idea to tweet that revealing bikini selfie the other day, Life&Style magazine is now saying.

The photo, which instantly went viral and got everyone talking about it (whether to criticize or praise her, it doesn’t matter, they were still talking), appeared spontaneous but was anything but.

“Kim was dying to get her picture in a bathing suit,” an insider reveals for the publication. Kanye herself helped her out.

“She took so many pictures and deleted them before her and Kanye decided on the one she posted. He had the ultimate say about Kim putting up the picture and decided which one he liked best,” the tipster shares.

So, while Kanye tweeted the response “Coming home now,” he was actually in on the stunt all along and knew exactly which photo Kim would be uploading, because he had chosen it himself.

If this is true, it totally does away with what he was trying to say on Jimmy Kimmel days ago, when he maintained that he wasn’t interested in playing the celebrity game and would never pull a PR stunt to boost interest in something he had to sell.

Apparently, he’s not averse to PR stunts if they benefit Kim. Speaking of Kim, she said on the latest episode of Keeping Up with the Kardashians, shot while she was still pregnant that, “as soon as this is done, I want to do Playboy or some shoot.”

She could be “campaigning” for one such shoot with the selfie.
