Like I understand liking Nicole Richie and her new show, because she's hilarious, it's scripted, so it's actually a comedy show. They're playing on her rudeness and eccentricities and it's just funny.
But why do people watch the Kardashians? What's the appeal there? What do they do? I think I saw half an episode once with my mom... I don't remember what happened, I just remember there being a lot of meaningless close ups.
