Kim Kardashian coming back to Atlanta to shoot multi-episode arc on Lifetime’s ‘Drop Dead Diva’
That look is a threat that she will NOT go away. AP photo.
Loading ...I’ve tried ardently in the past to make this blog a Kim Kardashian-free zone.
Up to this point, I’ve been fairly successful.
But promises are made to be broken. This item is about (ulp!) Kim Kardashian. (Feel free to click away if this offends you.)
A few months ago, she came here to shoot a role in Tyler Perry’s “The Marriage Counselor,” an event that was covered by my colleague Jennifer Brett in Buzz.
Kardashian will be returning to metro Atlanta (more specifically, Peachtree City) to shoot a multi-episode role on Lifetime’s fourth season of “Drop Dead Diva.” The dramedy begins production in February for airing in the summer.
Though ratings dipped a bit last season, averaging 2.3 million viewers, “Drop Dead Diva” remains a very strong performer for the network.
According to a press release, Kardashian will play Nikki, Fred’s (Ben Feldman) new love interest who partners with his ex Stacy (April Bowlby) in a new business venture.
“I’m blown away by her smarts, sense of humor, and passion,” said creator Josh Berman in a press release. “This series is all about reinvention and I’m so excited to see Kim ‘reinvented’ in the world of Drop Dead Diva.”
The show has built a reputation as a guest-star magnet, including many other folks who draw plenty of haters such as Kathy Griffin, Rosie O’Donnell and Liza Minnelli. Kardashian certainly falls in that category.

@Josh Berman
Do you actually think she’s going to help you pick up more ratings? You must be the only person to be blown away by her smarts,sense of humor and passion because the rest of us are sick of anything Kardashian. I love Drop Dead Diva and I think the show can stand on it’s on without fake Kardashian. @Rodney you promised us no Kim please stick to your promises. Smarts really I want to see that, sense of humor yeah she’s laughing all the way to the bank off of people to dumb to see that she is a fake,no talent, selfish,evil, stuck up, greedy woman who only cares about herself. And now 2 younger version of Kim are being slammed down our throats by her pimp mom

And you’ve done so well Rodney. Between begging and an AI tie in (Ryan), you stood your ground. Now, she gets a blog based on her infamy, fitting actually.

Yet you all take time out of your busy(???) schedules to read articles about this broad and even more time comment….WOW….I’m sure that’s gonna make her go away. More free marketing for yet another one of her theatrical endeavors….And for that, she thanks you.

Kim is smart and has done a great job at building her brand. Don’t understand all the hate. If you don’t want to read anything about her and want her to go away so bad why do you all continue to read articles/blogs about her and use your valuable time to comment?????

Kim is vapid, and has no talent, wit, or….merit to be a notable personage. And unless one is into absurdly stout rumps, she’s not even attractive per se—-chisel off a layer of make-up or two…or three. Some reality television is interesting…particularly when there is a human psychological test…or one can see how a sector of life functions; but the “celeb-u-tard” phenomenon is most assuredly the downside: Nothing people doing nothing, other than celebrating how significant their nothingness is alledged to be. Kim and her sisters are BO-RRRRRING.

If the show is still around, Kim Kardashian is going to be a catagory on Jeopardy, a question in an American history textbook and one of topics of discussion in the 22nd century. That generation will probably ask themselves what was all the hype about reality tv shows.

Some people are such haters. It’s just entertainment at the end of the day. If you don’t like Kim or the rest of the Kardashians Don’t watch their shows or follow what they do or comment on what they do…It’s not YOUR life. Love Kim…her style, fashion sense, and personality. Fab! Good Luck, Kim, on the show.
