SEX TAPE AS RESUME

When Kim Kardashian, famous for being famous, sliced her foot on a piece of glass in a New York hotel room in August, the gossip Web site TMZ.com alerted fans over their cellphones. Traffic to the site jumped 10 percent within minutes.
Kardashian also outranked her friend-turned-rival, Paris Hilton, as the most-searched celebrity in August on Yahoo's mobile service (traffic surged after she danced with the Pussycat Dolls in Las Vegas).Best known for a sex tape made with her boyfriend, Kardashian has achieved something on the smallest screen that has eluded her in her television career: an adoring audience. Can other would-be celebrities be far behind?
