When it comes to the Kardashians, love really is a battlefield just like Pat Benatar said.

Tonight is a quite night in my house.  I am sitting alone drinking a glass of wine and taking some time to reflect on events that are happening in the world.  There is a big gun debate going on in the country.  Three of the biggest stars in the history of baseball were rejected from the baseball hall of fame.  Kim Kardashian is pregnant.  Wait what?  That’s right.  Kim Kardashian is preggers and for some reason it was one of the most talked about news stories in the last couple of weeks.

The announcement of Baby Kimye (in case you don’t know that is a combo name for Kim Kardashian and Kanye West) has once again stirred up the inner turmoil I have for the Kardashian clan.  Here’s the break down:  I equally love and hate that family.  I get so sick of how over exposed they are, yet I can’t stop watching them.  I despise some of the things they do, yet I admire other things they do.  I am in a vicious cycle where I border on obsession and disgust.

When I found out about the pregnancy my first thought was “Oh great, exactly what the world needs – another Kardashian.”  This thought was quickly followed by “I wonder if they will do a spin-off of the show to follow her pregnancy.  That would be awesome!”

Unfortunately it seems as though Baby Kimye only added fuel to the ever raging fire of my Kardashian feelings.   

My love/hate for this family was also brought back up to the surface when I saw this week’s US Weekly magazine.  Plastered on the cover is Kourtney Kardashian in a bikini.  The tag line reads “How I got thin fast”.  Immediately I was enraged!  How you got thin fast?!  I can tell you how you got thin fast!  You are rich.  You have nannies to take care of your children.  You have a personal chef to do all of your shopping and to cook you healthy meals.  You have a personal trainer that you can afford to meet with every single day.  You have a house keeper to clean your house and do your laundry.  Your “job” consists of having a television crew follow you around all day while you cuss, shop, and hang out.  You have all the time in the world to get thin fast!

Then my next immediate thought was, “She looks great!  I love that bikini!  I hope they will include this on the next season of Keeping up with the Kardashians.”

And so it goes on.  My battle of love and hate continues just like the many episodes and spin-offs of “Keeping Up with the Kardashians”.   

I guess Pat Benatar was right when she sang “Love is a Battlefield”.  It sure is Pat.  It sure is.
