Celeb watch: Kimye to tie the knot

Kim Kardashian and Kanye West are engaged. I guess I should care a bit more since I write about celebrity gossip.

Except I don’t. I don’t care about her flawless 15 carat Lorraine Schwartz diamond. I don’t care that it is smaller than the ring Kris Humphries gave her.

I don’t care that Kim wore a $6,800 Valentino dress for the proposal. I don’t care that this is her third engagement and the proposal happened on her 33rd birthday. Geesh, three weddings by age 33, that has to be a record somewhere!

Okay, I seriously don’t care about Kimye, but since I write about celebs, I can’t wait for the train wreck that this wedding is sure to be.

So let’s back up a bit and talk about the proposal. According to US Weekly, Kanye rented out the AT&T Stadium in San Francisco where he pulled out all the stops.

He arranged a car service to escort them to the stadium. She was blindfolded when they arrived.

As soon as they entered the stadium, there was an orchestra playing music in the background the Please Marry Me was lit up on the stadium screen.

As soon as Kim said ‘yes’, her family and friends emerged from the dugout and a small party began for the couple.

Blah, blah, blah.

Fame-monger

Kanye is a walking contradiction and I just don’t get him. He claims he needs/wants privacy, yet he knocks up the biggest fame-monger known to man.

Not only does he knock her up, but he proposes to her. I mean if he really wants to marry her then great.

But since Kanye is always going on about his privacy, why propose in such a public way? Why put the photos on Instagram immediately after the proposal?

I’m convinced Kim and her mom Kris Jenner had something to do with this. It seemed so Kim almost to the point where I question if she planned the whole thing.

This proposal doesn’t seem like Kanye’s style and the ring certainly isn’t. That ridiculous piece of crackerjack ring diamond reeks gaudy Kim Kardashian.

I’m a firm believer of less is always more. Oh well, at least there will be great stories to come out of this. Maybe even a five-hour wedding special.
