Kim Kardashian: Snapshot

Name: Kim Kardashian
Date of Birth: October 21, 1980
Birth Place: Los Angeles, Calif.

A sex tape (that derriére!) put socialite Kim Kardashian in the spotlight, but it was the self-described princess' savvy that parlayed her stint in pornography into her own E! reality series, Keeping Up with the Kardashians.

The daughter of O.J. Simpson defense attorney, the late Robert Kardashian, L.A.-bred Kardashian first made her mark in Hollywood as stylist to stars like Brandy and Lindsay Lohan and now owns the Calabasas, Calif. boutique, Dash, with her sisters Kourtney and Khloé.

The bodacious babe, who dated New Orleans Saints running back Reggie Bush for years, eventually found love again with NBA player Kris Humphries. Kardashian was the epitome of a princess bride at her fairy tale wedding to Humphries in August 2011 – only to file for divorce 72 days later. Though the acrimonious exes continue to battle over their split in court, Kardashian has moved on with rapper Kanye West, and is expecting the couple's first child.

By April, Kardashian settles with Vivid to distribute the tape.
