Whether or not you enjoy seeing her, Kim Kardashian is dead set on transitioning from reality television to the more appreciated scripted variety, with her next big role lined up to be on Lifetime’s Drop Dead Diva. The series, which is entering its fourth season, follows a model that died and was reborn in the body of a plus-sized attorney. Now she’s trapped in a body she doesn’t want and has to learn to overcome her shallow nature and also win legal cases.
Kardashian will be playing Nikki in a multiple episode arc. Nikki will become partners with Stacy (April Bowlby) and the two will start a business venture together. Unfortunately, The Hollywood Reporter couldn’t say exactly what the business venture will be or even who Nikki really is. What they did say was she would first appear in the Season 4 premiere. I just hope the business doesn’t involve fashion or a fragrance. The less this Nikki character is like Kim Kardashian the better.
I find reality stars to be quite annoying. The more rich and famous they are, the more annoying they become. If Kim is sincere about wanting to become a respectable actress then she has my full support. This is a great time to reinvent herself as someone to be taken seriously. She just needs to stop playing herself on TV, like she has on How I Met Your Mother and is booked to do on Tim Allen’s Last Man Standing.
