Apparently the 5th sign of the apocalypse has begun- you start as an E list celebrity and upgrade by dating famous people, upgrading your 'look' - hair, clothes, body parts (really) and getting better jobs and photo shoots.
The paparazzi and celeb news become more interested in you as you level up, and you spend energy on dates and work and upgrades, which you can let naturally recharge or purchase 'K-Stars' for a fee from the store (see $200,000,000 profit).
When the site went down and people couldn't log on last week, people lamented on twitter - it became a trending topic - #Fixthekardashiangame
A screenshot of the angst.
Now obviously Kim Kardashian is some form of mega genius - spilling a dodgy tape into a reality TV circus (5 shows and counting?) two celebrity marriages, a million photo shoots and tv interviews, and it's still spiraling.
But as I said, some grown people are spending time and possibly their money in the tens and hundreds of dollars playing a non competitve game about becoming a celebrity in the same way Kim Kardashian did. I must point that out.
I'm not sure where the entertainment industry goes next after this, especially with Kim K's husband talking about how celebrities are also the new oppressed people -http://blogs.news.com.au/dailytelegraph/timblair/index.php/dailytelegraph/comments/fame_is_the_new_black/
"Rapper Kanye West gave a 45-minute toast to himself following his marriage to Kim Kardashian. It included a claim that “celebrities [are] being treated like blacks were in the Sixties, having no rights”
Wow. I'll leave you with images of the oppressed mans house and let you decide how oppressed he is- 
"If only the people could feel my pain living this life of fame and fortune"
