The Kardashians, America’s glam-est TV family, talk to Redbook magazine about living in front of the whole world, all the misconceptions regarding the Kardashians, family values, and obsession with their look.On living life in front of the whole world:
KIM: There’s nothing I’m really ashamed of, and I work hard on the show and all my other projects. I don’t drink or do drugs, so I’m comfortable showing the world what my life is all about. On why people are fascinated with the Kardashians:
KHLOÉ: We are a real family. We don’t sugarcoat anything. We’re not the Brady Bunch, but we always put each other first. We love each other on camera, we cry on camera. I think people relate to the realness of it. On the biggest misconceptions about the Kardashians:
KRIS: It’s annoying when I hear, “What do your girls do?” Well, first of all, all of my daughters have jobs. They are fashion stylists and designers; they own a chain of stores. They had the stores before they had the show.
And my kids worked from the time they were 13 years old. So to me, that’s a huge misconception — that the girls don’t work. They work 25 hours a day. And that they don’t have any talent? They might not be singers or dancers, but they certainly know how to produce a television show. Whether you want to call it talent or not, they have multiple shows on the air. [I want to say,] How many shows do you have? On family values:
KRIS: Our joy in life is that we always have each other. So I’ve tried to teach my kids three things: love God, love your family, and love yourself. On the obsession with their looks:
KIM: It’s so ridiculous that they think I’m having all this surgery. When you do that, there are bruises and recovery time, and I am out and about every single day.
KHLOÉ: Do I have days where my weight issues eat away at me and I get depressed? Of course. But they don’t last long. I’m not perfect. Just because I’m on TV, people think that I have 24/7 access to trainers and nutritionists. Oftentimes I don’t have the time or want to spend the money to do all that. I’ve learned that if I go to the gym and eat appropriately, I’m fine. I don’t need to fit into a mold.

The ‘Titanic 100’ exhibition will celebrate the building of the great ship from its inception to launch, focussing on the photography of RJ Welch, the official photographer for Harland and Wolff.
Through Welch’s lens, visitors will be given a remarkable glimpse of life at the yard, its scale and that of the ship, as well an insight into the life of 1911 Belfast. ‘Titanic 100’ will remain on display in the City Hall grounds until mid-May.
The second exhibition, in City Hall itself, will focus on the story of the SS Nomadic, also launched in 1911, telling her story from construction to the current restoration programme. The Nomadic exhibition also will feature rare artefacts from both the tender and the White Star line, and will open at the beginning of May. www.laganboatcompany.com Throughout April and May, there also will be a series of tours, both on land and water, visiting key landmarks associated with the Titanic story.
These will include bus and walking tours of Queen’s Island and guided walking tours of Edwardian Belfast, as it would have been known to Titanic’s designer, Thomas Andrews, and of the SS Nomadic. Tickets for all these tours are available from the Belfast Welcome Centre.
There will be special tours of the Thompson Graving Dock – officially opened on 1 April 1911 and once the beating heart of Harland and Wolff’s operations in the building of the huge White Star liners – and the adjacent Pump House and visitor centre. Tickets for these can be booked via www.titanicsdock.com
The Lagan Boat Company also will be offering their ever popular selection of Titanic-themed boat tours.

For those who wish to follow the Titanic story for themselves, the award-winning Titanic Explorer Trail is now available, free of charge, as part of the ‘Go Explore NI’ smartphone app, for both iPhone and android, while the Titanifacts iPhone app is also available for download.
Looking further ahead, over the Easter Bank Holiday weekend (Saturday 23 – Tuesday 26 April), City Hall will be the focal point for a four-day ‘Titanic 100’ festival, featuring talks, tours, exhibitions and plays.
Tickets are available now from the Belfast Welcome Centre.
In addition to the centenary of the launch of Titanic, a number of other anniversaries are being marked throughout the period. These include the centenaries of the opening of the Thompson Graving Dock and the launch of SS Nomadic, the 150th anniversary of the opening of Harland and Wolff – and the 99th anniversary of the sinking, on 15 April 1912, of Titanic.[i1]
