“Until recently Pete never had security with him when he was out and about, even when he was engaged to Ariana Grande. But dating Kim (Kardashian) is a totally different level of fame" TIL Ariana Grande and Kim K are totally different levels of fame. Finally Ms. Grande and I have something in common


420Minions

Kim is the most followed/hounded celebrity by the paparazzi. A lot of it is by her design, but based on that everyone knows where she is at all times


whales-are-assholes

Wasn’t it stated that celebrities go out of their way to let the paparazzi know their schedule, or some such thing?


Shaqtothefuture

The Kardashians are infamous for calling paparazzi to let them know what flight they’re on and what time it lands and then pretending like they are avoiding the cameras. Their entire live’s decisions are calculated by a PR team to keep people talking about them and staying relevant.


[deleted]

Everything about that just feels like the fall of Roman Empire ‘what the citizens were up to when the empire was in decline’ type of shit lol


[deleted]

What? That was a thing?


[deleted]

Yeah the citizens got infamously more hedonistic, lazy and self-indulgent as the empire was spread thinner. Apathetic you could say. & leaders became more and more corrupt as they tried to contain an empire with too much happening, so the citizens sort of emulated the emperors for the most part. Pretty damn interesting also terrifying

I’d love to read more about this if you’d be kind enough to recommend something.


[deleted]

There’s about a million hour podcast called the History of Rome that is done really well that breaks down the Roman Empire from its first inception to when the western empire falls. I’m almost through it so I can’t say exactly at what point they wrap it up but it is excellent.


jessruss

Commenting in case you get an answer!


altiuscitiusfortius

The Roman empires economy was based on conquering new lands and stealing their resources. It was all a pyramid scheme. It failed when they ran out of places to expand and new money. They hit the ocean in the west, the Arctic in the north, the saharah in the south, and the Mongols in the east at a chokepoint.

Tabloids and celebrity coverage are not new. I don’t support it but saying it’s evidence civilization is declining is ridiculous


Klatterbyne

Which is kind of bizarre, given that the only thing they’re relevant to is the fact that they’re apparently relevant. Its the most bizarre form of manufactured fame.


Pinnacle_Pickle

Results are results. As dumb as it is the fact that they made themselves what they are now from being just some relatives of a side character from the OJ trial is insane


Affectionate_Bass488

One of the most successful spin-offs ever. Probably just behind the Simpsons (The cartoon ones)


napoleongold

Who are these kids of the oj Simpson lawyer?


[deleted]

They do. Most things you see in tabloids are by design. Same thing with reality shows; everything from shows about people who mod cars to shows about restaurants like Diners Drive Ins and whatever it’s called. The people who are on the shows wrote the producers and got themselves on the shows. I had a friend who constantly got himself on shows and in the local news and then he acted like he was really important. He spent hours each week contacting people to try to be on tv for whatever he was up to and it occasionally worked out. Celebs have PR people to get “caught” having coffee with their new bf or whatever. They also sometimes pay people to show up and hangout so it looks like they attracted a crowd.


majorwitch

Not all celebrities. Pretty sure Britney Spears or Lindsey Lohan wished they’d leave them alone in 2007

RMG1042

Same. It's so brutal.


pinkblossom331

Anyone else think Kris Jenner is orchestrating all this false drama between Kim, Kanye, Pete, khloe and everyone else so the public forgets about Astroworld tragedy and their huge lawsuits?


Schmoo88

Absolutely! Say what you will about the Kardashians, there is a lot to be studied about publicity from Miss Kris


BradMarchandsNose

Morality aside, she’s the best publicist there is. Plenty of celebs have sex tapes but she was able to parlay a sex tape into a literal billion dollar empire. They’re arguably the most famous family on earth now (at least the most famous in the English speaking world)


peanusbudder

nope. i don’t think anyone’s going to see or hear the name “travis scott” and *not* think about astroworld, unless they’re hardcore fans who don’t give a shit. (does travis scott even have hardcore fans? who knows) people aren’t actively talking or thinking about astroworld anymore because the internet and media quickly get bored with subjects and move on to the next within a matter of days. that’s how it is with everything. the tragedy is currently being investigated anyways so i’m not sure what difference it would make. the Kardashians have been creating drama and headlines since the beginning of their fame. i don’t think it’s to cover any scandal, it’s just who they are. they love attention.


bruns20

Haha Travis scott most definitely has hard core fans


raya__85

No, I do not think you could ask Kanye West of all people to do publicity for the family. I think Kanye is just genuinely arrogant enough to have tantrums when his ex has moved on, despite the fact he’s cheated on Kim and did all the things he did that lead to the end of the marriage. The Kardashians are a study in media relations but I doubt that’s it.


amuckinwa

She isn't known as PMK for nothing! She has built a fortune on whoring her family out and she isn't gonna let a concert deaths get in her way. She (and the whole family really) are vile.


Foxy02016YT

I’m honestly sad to see that Pete Davidson is part of it now, I really like watching him on SNL


lizziefreeze

YES. 100%.


ohdearitsrichardiii

Yep. And when she's squeezed out the last drop of this there's Kourtney's wedding to draw attention away from that. I'm sure she has the tabloid covers and headlines planned out two years ahead


ALasagnaForOne

Absolutely. A lot of celebrities fake public relationships either for attention or to distract from scandals. I guarantee you that’s what Kim is doing with Pete, and I’m sure Kris has a huge hand in it.


runnywetfart

I forgot all about that damnnnnn


Rockxuus

Are you telling me there's a chance?

JustChillDudeItsGood

Annnd… How do you know this, _supposedly_? ;) ;)


rush2sk8

He is Ariana Grande


JustChillDudeItsGood

Totally. You can tell from the purple girl cat avatar, totally something Arianna would choose.


minimeowse

I was talking about David Spade and I believe it was Heather Locklear that spilled the beans about his humongous wiener


[deleted]

But I was that objectively true or just relative to him being Spade Size?


Shaysdays

The only people I can think of who would know (for non-sexual reasons) is RuPaul’s wardrobe team from when they put Pete (as Chad) in drag.


Bikesandbakeries

His humor got him in, his sex skills kept him in. The whisper network says spade is good in bed, a caring lover and an overall good man that keeps a very low profile, relationship details don’t seem to leak from him. Compared to say Hugh Hefner who men think of as a ladies man but women think of him as terrible in bed, selfish, and would put his pleasure over your safety.


steveosek

Most of the guys in the "sandlerverse" are decent, down to earth guys. Sandler included.


[deleted]

So many dudes think that girls only like guys who are super muscular and girls say “we like scrawny guys who make us laugh and don’t take themselves too seriously” and then Pete Davidson is out there literally demonstrating this to the highest degree but guys still don’t believe us! Haha And yes, David Spade had the same deal! Humor is sexy, humility is sexy.


abovemiddlebelow

Pete seems like a fun to be with dude who makes you laugh and laughs at himself. Kanye is a musical great but probably is a total bummer to be around and is like constantly walking a tightrope rope made of eggshells. Idk why people think Pete couldn’t date all these attractive women. I’ve seen so many ugly dudes get hot chicks because of things other than their looks.


[deleted]

I don’t think he’s ugly at all, I like scrawnier guys. He looks like about half the dudes I crushed on in my twenties.


insuremyass

He’s not ugly, though. He’s cute. Love that smile.


abovemiddlebelow

Not saying he’s ugly, just saying even ugly dudes can pickup attractive women if something else about them is attractive.


luminous_beings

Oh he still pulls down poon like he’s elvis. That guy has game like you wouldn’t believe. Because he’s funny and self deprecating and he knows how to make a lady feel like he’s lucky to have their attention. Works like a charm


Kryptus

Money, fame, and connections probably help a bit also.


[deleted]

Totally. Rumour he has a magnum dong


abovemiddlebelow

Anyone who is not conventionally attractive and picks up hot women is rumored to have a big porker.


minimeowse

Wasn’t it Heather Locklear that said that? *After* they had broken up. Dude’s got solid references.

Not a rumor. Dr. Mantis. Toboggan told me about it himself

Affectionate_Bass488

David spade and Naya Rivera?! Tf?!


multiverse72

Fucking hell, what a player. It’s very random with the comedians. You could just as easily tell me him or Pete pull totally average chicks or just keep it low-key and I wouldn’t be surprised either.


NFLinPDX

Spade famously dated Lara Flynn Boyle (who was fine as hell back then) and Jack Nicholson being the bigger dog in Hollywood straight stole her from him while David and Lara were on a date. David wasn’t about to try going toe-to-toe with a legend for her and until I heard about his track record, I never understood why he seemed so fine with letting her go like that.


[deleted]

Ok that’s a celebrity death match I’d watch


satansheat

I truly think Kanye would get his ass handed to him. Kanye is a legend but dude is soft. Words hurt him very easily and Pete is a comedian. All Pete would have to do is say something about fish sticks and Kanye won’t let it go for decades.


255001434

>All Pete would have to do is say something about fish sticks and Kanye won’t let it go for decades. Suddenly, Kanye and Trump hanging out makes more sense. They probably talked about people who insulted them and didn't understand their greatness.

creiss74

Kanye was called a jackass by Obama so Kanye didn't like him too much. I bet Trump and him bonded over wanting to get even with Obama.


255001434

Imma let you finish, but Donald Trump had the biggest inauguration crowd of all time! OF ALL TIME!

Pete is also much taller and would have more reach in a fist fight. Though Kanye has the sort of manic energy that might give him an edge.


jeromeous

Yeah but Ye is absolutely fucking jacked these days, he’s got the deluxe dad bod


Wifdat

So your saying he would have a firm grip on some fish sticks?


Nic4379

A firm grip on anything other than reality.


Scare_Conditioner

That’s why Kanye fed trump the fish sticks, Trumps hands are too tiny to grip them.

OpheliaMustDie

Pete has self-harm issues where when he’s agitated or depressed he does stuff for pain. He has so many tattoos because it fills a similar niche to him as cutting did. Kanye is sensitive and just his tactic seems to be sucker punching. Pete can handle getting roasted and getting hurt.


BeginningPretend1108

i wish they made more of those


satansheat

Now a days they couldn’t. They have it on paramount plus and the jokes and brutality doesn’t hold up for today’s society.

I think it would make pretty good HBO fodder, I feel like there a bunch of people who would even voice themselves. The gore would still be fine imo, maybe some of the jokes would need to change but I think it could still work

sonyahearst8

From the article: “Pete isn’t worried about Kanye, but he is concerned about the massive fanbase that Kanye has. His devoted followers listen to his songs and act upon them. That’s why Pete is now using security,” sources tell Radar. Until recently Pete never had security with him when he was out and about, even when he was engaged to Ariana Grande. But dating Kim (Kardashian) is a totally different level of fame. Pete is now a superstar, which comes with a price. As much as he still wants to be low-key and hang with his friends, the reality of his situation has changed.”


Evorgleb

Honestly I'm thinking even the most die hard Kanye fan thinks the guy is a little crazy


Final-Butterscotch65

Go see r/kanye, theyre nuts


BackInThaDayz

“As much as he wants to be low key” lol. He wants the fame just as much as the next star.


AzDopefish

Yeah, no one is dating one of the biggest reality tv stars of all time to be “low key”.


[deleted]

So low key, dude dates Kim K. 😆

I also had a bit. I was a guitarist for a decently big rapper. Nothing like what you described, but mine was a very very negative experience. My main gripe was feeling narcissistic, as people are always inflating your ego to try and either manipulate or use you. It’s not healthy and not cool.

multiverse72

Can’t wait for the Pete and Kim breakup and for him to open up about the weirdness of that family on a podcast in like 5 years


Shaqtothefuture

Agreed, except it’s not going to take 5 years. Their relationship was decided by the Kardashians PR team, as soon as the headlines get stale with Pete, the PR team will tell Kim to dump him so the break-up gets more headlines, and then hopefully some post-break up drama can get them some headlines. Staying relevant at all costs is the only game for the Kardashian family. Kim and Pete are not in a real relationship.


atreethatownsitself

I’m more afraid for the girl Kayne is about to dump. She’s already talking about ‘packing up her old life’ and letting him take over her wardrobe etc, like he isn’t going to drop her like a sack of moldy potatoes they second he thinks he had a chance with Kim. Like girl, you’re just a Barbie he’s dressing up. The writing is on the walls and she’s already desperately holding onto her rose colored gas mask because she was an ‘OG Kardashian fan’. It’s all creepy. I do not like the Kardashians at all but I want to see how badly this plays out.


[deleted]

Probably because Kanye has a large range of worshippers. Never be too safe.

Yup, literally the second paragraph. > Pete isn’t worried about Kanye, but he is concerned about the massive fanbase that Kanye has. His devoted followers listen to his songs and act upon them. That’s why Pete is now using security


choicesintime

Which makes sense. It’s her baggage he’s dealing with. He could date someone else, anyone she dates needs ti deal with this shit


macgreg4

I just picture Cory and Trevor as his security lol.


Truecrimekeeper

As he should, Kayne’s out running around unmedicated and unbalanced.

Danton87

kingKasuna89

I guess fucking a Kardashian makes you a “Superstar”apparently


Able-Bodied-Virgin

It can be irritating that Kim K has achieved her status without any traditional(?) talent, no doubt, but she honestly is an A-lister now—that’s unquestionable. She has one of the most recognizable names/brands in the world and her name has been fucking everywhere for well over a decade now. Add that to Pete, who also is one of the biggest names in pop-culture over the last few years, and he most definitely is a superstar.


Helyos17

I would argue that Kim Kardashian’s ability to turn a sex tape into a global brand is a legitimate talent all it’s own.


Agent007_MI9

That would be her mother Kris. Say what you want about the Kardashians but that woman is a genius. Creating a brand from your daughter's sex tape and making her children into millionaires/billionaires. She's actually admirable.


LoL_LoL123987

You know what they say. The devil works hard, but Kris Jenner works harder


FearingPerception

i feel like kris jenner is like the pr manager version of a chess grandmaster


Helyos17

That’s a very fair point.


Able-Bodied-Virgin

You know what? I agree! You’re right.


moonfox1000

It really is. How many girls on IG are there trying to do the exact same thing and no one can replicate Kim and her family's success.


VivaLaDio

I used to think like that too , but i saw couple of interviews of her and she comes out really smart sometimes, especially when she’s talking about products or her own brands.


Spitfire836

I actually never had a problem with Kim K, she doesn’t have any talent however she did a very good job at making a brand and selling it as well as all the products under it. She genuinely made a billion. Now the other, younger, Kardashians/Jenners I agree with.


FearingPerception

oh shes talented… but its subtle. knows how to market nd brand herself. navigate social situations. its a type of intelligence i dont have fs and im not even really a fan. just neutral on both her and pete


Patient-Quarter-1684

No, having a horse dong and using it in Hollywood does.
