Wow. Just… wow. Gawker got a hold of a couple of photos of Kim Kardashian exiting a beauty salon in Santa Monica, Blackberry in hand… and if the images are to be believed, Kim actually gets Google Alerts about herself. AND READS THEM. Look! Look here! Proof!

Well, gee. This is a new low for Kardashian vanity. Gawker points out that this is remarkable for three reasons: 1) Kim gets boatloads of press. Wouldn’t getting Google Alert emails every time her name pops up on the Internet drive her nuts? 2) She has previously mocked other celebrities who get Google Alerts about themselves, including her sister Kourtney; and 3) If Kin is regularly getting Google Alerts and actually reading them, then it’s likely that any random post that anyone writes about her could actually end up in front of her at some point.

In which case:

KIM. THIS IS A PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT. YOU AND YOUR FAMILY NEED TO GET OUT OF THE PUBLIC EYE FOR A WHILE. WE’RE ALL SICK OF HEARING ABOUT YOU, WHICH IS WHY WE KEEP MAKING FUN OF YOU. GO AWAY AND WE’LL LEAVE YOU ALONE. BUT AS LONG AS YOU INSIST ON STAYING HERE, WE WILL CONTINUE TO LAMBAST YOU WITHOUT MERCY. DON’T SAY WE DIDN’T WARN YOU.

This message has been brought to you by the People’s Commission Against the Overexposure of Obnoxious Celebrities.

Carry on.
