Keeping up with Kim

In aulden days KKK meant something besides Kim, Khloe, Kourtney, mom Kris, siblings Kendall and Kylie, etc. But even if you're Kardashianed out, have an addendum. Kim deserves what she earns. She phoned me 7 a.m. 7 o'clock in the morning!
She said: "Today I got up 3:55 for morning TV. Yesterday was 4:30 a.m. A day I have off until 9 or 10 without makeup I get to work out. Actually, I'd just like to read a book.
"Everything's good for me, and I never complain. I try being nice. But I work so hard, so long, so nonstop that it gets difficult. Like that raging drunk at the Peninsula Hotel. I was tired, and she raced up saying, 'All I want is a picture.' She was so abusive that I got mad.
"Listen, like everyone else, I go to Kmart, Sears, the malls. But it did get hectic at Bergdorf's.
"And looking good takes work. I'm often so tired that I feel close to passing out. Still, no matter what, I wash off that makeup before going to sleep. A beauty routine always includes care of skin. Exfoliating. Facials once a month, manicures every five days, laser hair removal once a week, sometimes a whole beauty day to put myself back together.
"I travel so much. On commercial planes. At least a few times a week. That means sleeping on them, so I bring a satin pillow. It's softer on the face. And I drink lots of water."
With all you K's working together, working alone, working with one or another, how do you figure who earns what?
"There's different projects. We divide them. Stuff on our own. All share in the book and clothing line. My fragrance is just myself. My mother and I are together on some things. And we have our own separate business agents.
How much time for a guy in your life?
"I haven't been without a relationship forever. Now's my first time actually being single. I married at 19 and divorced at 22. I'm dating now. The truth is, it's hard to be with a guy. Working steadily and keeping up a relationship is tough."
All together now: aaarrrggghhhh.

BARBARA Walters is at it again. Thursday, 9 p.m., ABC-TV, an hour on Oprah, who needs another shot on television like Obama needs another trip abroad.
Filming in Oprah's Chicago home, Barbara asked the multimillion-dollar question: What role does perpetually christened "Best Friend" Gayle King really play in her life? Answer: "She's the mother I never had. The sister everybody would want. The friend everybody deserves. I don't know a better person."
Then she cries. Needs Kleenex. And: "It's making me cry because I'm thinking how much I probably never told her that. We're not like, 'Oh, you, you're my dearest friend . . . thanks.' The therapy I didn't have and don't need is because of my thousands and thousands of hours on the phone with Gayle. I get to release the day by talking it through. And I just realized she's the friend everybody should have."
About rumors she's gay, Oprah answers: "I have said we are not gay enough times. I am not lesbian. Not even kind of lesbian. That irritates me because it means somebody must think I'm lying. That's No. 1. No. 2, why would you want to hide it? That is not the way I run my life."
