When I opened the mailbox and saw the preview disc for Kourtney & Khloe Take Miami, the reality spinoff of Keeping Up With the Kardashians, my wife was standing right behind me and there was a little squeal of delight when she saw what it was.
“What was that?” I asked. “What?” she said. “Did you just squeal over Kourtney & Khloe Take Miami?”
“It’s exciting,” she explained. “Well, it is!” “If you’re so excited,” I retorted,” Maybe you should review it.” “Maybe I will.” “Fine, then do it!” “Fine, I will!” “FINE!” “FINE!” Well, that saved me some work.
And now it’s done. So here’s my wife Kelly’s debut article for CliqueClack. Treat her kindly, she’s much nicer than I am.
Magic, mayhem, and making out in Miami
That title sums up the series premiere of Kourtney and Khloe Take Miami, debuting Sunday, August 16 at 10 PM ET on E! Right off the bat, it was like there was a competition to see which sister could spend more money in a single day. And on things that don’t even pertain to the main point of moving to Miami … to open a second D-A-S-H store. The clothing franchise is run by the three Kardashian sisters.
The magic trick is that apparently these girls have money falling out of their purses. I found myself wondering what the point of this show was; to open a business in Miami or show off how much money they have.
I guess a brand new Jaguar Diamond Series and a Porsche SUV will help the pair open the store up in style. It’s just too bad it’s a clothing store and not a car lot. But if that’s not flashy enough, then living at one of the most expensive Bentley Hilton Hotel suites should do the trick.
Kim flies in to try and get the girls back on track, and immediately starts complaining about not being appreciated for all the hard work she does. It’s like a rerun of Keeping Up With the Kardashians at this point. Kim didn’t even remember that Khloe had yet another gig in Miami, hosting her own radio talk show Khloe After Dark, which apparently lasted all of four weeks.
Right away, I could tell that Khloe and her co-host, Terrence Jenkins, might have more to “talk” about after Dark goes dark. It would be nice if we actually knew what really happened after they went out for drinks. The crew turned off their cameras just when the making out started. Unfortunately, Khloe can’t fill in the parts the cameras missed either. She was too wasted on high dollar alcoholic beverages.
It’s nice to see such great role models for our young girls. Kourtney just announced she’s pregnant with her stalker ex-boyfriend Scott. Previews of upcoming episodes promise that he followed her to Miami to keep dibs on the girl he cheated on not once, but twice before. Not sure who is the least intelligent of that pair; thank god the child will have a trust fund to get into college.
Maybe the sister’s parents Kris and Bruce Jenner need to drop by and get these girls in line. It might give me something interesting to watch, rather than two spoiled little rich girls complaining about their stressed out lives while spending infinite amounts of money. Mom and Pop could come save this show, or at least bring some realism to the scene; but that’s what the Keeping Up With the Kardashians show is for…I guess.

I don’t get the appeal of these shows but then again I’ve watched all of the D-List. So shame on me ;-)
I haven’t checked this out – nothing could make me go that far – but I wrote about Khloe a lot when she was on The Celebrity Apprentice. You brought back some (un) fond memories.
Nice piece, Kelly! You inspired me to try and sell some stuff to my wife for her review; she’s yet to bite. Either I’m pitching worse stuff than Kourtney and Khloe Take Miami, or she loves me less than you love Jason ;).
