A couple of days ago, model and fashion consultant Kim Kardashian confirmed the existence of not one but several home made sex tapes, all the while insisting that she wasn't planning on selling any because she was neither that desperate for attention nor that eager to make money by exposing her private life for the entire world.

In case you still don't know who Kim Kardashian is, chances are that you won't remain in the dark for long. You see, until now, stunning Kim was just the daughter of Robert Kardashian, the lawyer who defended O.J. Simpson in his infamous murder trial, Paris Hilton's best friend and the former lover of many famous men, starting from The Game, P. Diddy and ending with Jessica Simpson's former hubby, Nick Lachey.

Until a month or so ago, no one actually paid that much attention to Kim. For the paparazzi, she was just one of Paris' trendy accessories (like Nicole Richie and Britney Spears also have been), while for the media she was just a no-name who tried to live in her friend's spotlight. Now that she has a sex tape out there (that she doesn't plan to sell, by the way, but rumors tell a totally different story), everyone knows who she is and what she has done.

So what's the best thing a girl can do at times like these? Why, strip, of course! What else can it be? I mean, she has to take full advantage of all the media attention she has been getting lately, doesn't she? And she must do it quick, until the fire burns out completely. Thus: we have Kim topless in the upcoming issue of 'Complex' magazine and again topless for the Christopher Brian jeans line. Not that we mind it too much... on the contrary, some might say.

In the interview accompanying these photos (the first two) for 'Complex', Kim talks about what it means to be a celebutante (yes, she is that, as hard to believe as it seems!), comes to Paris' defense and talks (again) about her sex tape with Randy's brother, Ray J, whose existence she denies (yes, again, two days after she confirmed it).

Miss Kardashian is either playing with our minds, trying to get us and the media confused in the hope that she will thus up the value of said sex tape or she is really a very sweet person. Seeing that she hangs out so much with Paris Hilton (who is not quite the nicest person on the face of the earth) and that she actually defends her (!!!) and her pantyless 'moments', I would go for the first option: she is screwing with our heads. Well, as long as she is taking her clothes off for that, it's OK...
