Kim Kardashian is ruining Kanye West

Its that time of year again the time for the Kardashian klan to get the sparkliest garb and ham it up for the camera (ok, maybe thats every day of the year but this ones for Christmas.)

The Kardashians have released their annual Christmas card for the masses and, while Kourtneys baby daddy (Scott Disick) and Khloes hubby (Lamar Odom) are included, it looks like no number of public appearances in his-and-hers matching shoes is enough to get on the Kardashian Kristmas Kard because Kanye West is noticeably missing.

This season, the money-hungry family went for an all-white theme and, despite rocking their best attire, we cant help but play a bizarre version of Wheres Waldo in which we try to figure out which family members are Photoshopped in. (Pssst! Its Khloe!)

The youngest Kardashian sister spilled the beans on the familys picture-perfect snap earlier this year. She told Ellen DeGeneres, I have to be Photoshopped in.

We pretend that were always together, she added. The powers of cameras and Photoshop.

So, if Khloe and her hubby were Photoshopped in, where in the heck was Kims equally hungry for fame beau, West?

The Kardashian Klan hasnt commented on Wests whereabouts, but one person err, brief family member was there, Mercy, Kims departed kitten (given to her by West.)

Could there be trouble in their ultra-exclusive expensive paradise? Perhaps. The New York Daily News reports that since the rap star has hooked up with the busty brunette, his street cred (a! nd ticket sales) have plummeted. A source told the paper, His personal life is overpowering his music, an industry insider said. Every time he plays, people are wondering if Kim is going to be there. Its not a good thing for him, especially if he wants to be taken seriously.

Well, it looks like Kardashian star status may currently be shining brighter than her beaus. According to the paper, West was asked to host New Years in Las Vegas and Miami but only if he could bring Kardashian along on his arm. Kanye was actually offended by the offers, the source said.

He has been meeting with top-level music executives seeking advice, the source said about West resurrecting his career. Hes not happy with the direction things have been going.
