Pippa
Middleton and American reality TV star Kim Kardashian are the proud
owners of the most talked-about backsides in the world, and now the
Duchess of Cambridge’s sister has acknowledged their similarities.
Pippa
has written an article for the august political weekly The Spectator in
which she compares her bottom with that of Kardashian, who posed naked
and smeared in baby oil for a magazine.
‘The
“Rear of 2014” award undoubtedly goes to Kim Kardashian, after her
posterior exploded all over the internet last month,’ concedes Pippa,
whose own backside was considered to be the rear of 2011 when she wore a
tight-fitting bridesmaid’s dress to the Royal Wedding.

stir when she posed naked and smeared in oil for a magazine
‘I
must say that mine — though it has enjoyed fleeting fame — is not
comparable. But the Kim butt story did make me pause. What is it with
this American booty culture? It seems to me to be a form of obsession.’
The fetishisation of the bottom has been a defining trait of U.S. pop culture.
However
Pippa, 31, adds with lofty condescension: ‘Kim’s aim, apparently, was
to break the internet, but I’m not sure she’s going the right way about
it.’
Kardashian, 34, declared this goal when she published the photographs of her posterior.
Writing in
Spectator, Pippa says the 'Rear of 2014' award 'undoubtedly goes to Kim
Kardashian' (pictured left in February 2014 and right in June 2014)
Kardashian, 34 (pictured with husband
Kanye West in October) published photographs online of her posterior,
intending to 'break the internet'
Kim was
pictured dressed in a black cocktail dress, balancing a champagne coupe
on her derriere, and also posed for a full-frontal nude snap. Pictured:

In
one shot, the daughter of Robert Kardashian, OJ Simpson’s lawyer during
his 1995 murder trial, was pictured dressed in a black cocktail dress,
balancing a champagne coupe on her derriere.
She also posed for a full-frontal nude snap.
It
is perhaps no coincidence that Pippa has written the article in the
same week that Kate has been making her first official visit to New York
with Prince William.
Pippa (pictured left walking through Chelsea and right at the French Open in 2011) said her bottom has 'enjoyed fleeting fame'
Pippa, 31
(pictured left at a wedding in May 2012 and right during a cycle across
America) says the American 'booty culture' seems to be a 'form of
obsession'
Pippa compared the bottoms in Spectator magazine
Pippa
is thought to be planning a TV career in America, with the NBC network
reported to be considering hiring her as a correspondent on The Today
Show.
Last
month she was filmed in the Mid-West on a ‘test shoot’, throwing shapes
on the dance floor with a succession of male partners.
Pippa and Kim have more in common than just their behinds. Both have influential mothers.
While
Carole Middleton is rumoured to have encouraged Kate to change her
course at St Andrews University so that she would meet William, Kim’s
mother, Kris Jenner, manages the career of her six children and is the
driving force behind their TV show Keeping Up With the Kardashians.
Kim
shot to fame in 2007 thanks to a sex tape with her former boyfriend Ray
J, which has since been watched more than 93 million times online.
Pippa, however, eclipses that number given her appearance at the Royal Wedding was seen by an estimated audience of two billion.
