Kim and Khloe Kardashian – along with Lamar Odom – touched down in Los Angeles a few minutes ago. The three cut short their long-planned trip to Austrailia, where they were set to make a variety of promotional appearances. One, a stint at The Melbourne Cup, would have net Kim $153,000 for a mere hour of work.

I know we like to go hard on Kim, and I’m not in the mood to cut her much slack. But Kardashians love kash, so you know she must be going through something, (maybe just sheer emotional exhaustion, or maybe it’s deeper) if she’s passing up that kind of green.

Kardashian definitely wants to be left alone right now. She hired 20 bodyguards to form a ring around a Kim decoy and walk her through the airport. Meanwhile the real Kim, Khloe, and Lamar snuck into the airport via a loading dock. All sorts of ridiculous.
