KIM KARDASHIAN TO GIVE UP FUR FOR LOVE AND FAMILY

KIM KARDASHIAN is close to turning her back on fur - to save her romance and her friendship with her sister. The socialite has been a target for anti-fur protesters for years, but her sister Khloe's decision to bare all for a new People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) 'I'd Rather Go Naked Than Wear Fur' ad has inspired Kim Kardashian to rethink her wardrobe.

Kim Kardashian says, "I haven't bought anything new since Khloe did the ad." But that might not be enough - boyfriend Reggie Bush threatened to dump her if she didn't give up her pelts - after the pair drove past an anti-fur rally at the Sundance Film Festival in 2008.

Kim Kardashian tells Eonline.com, "I was wearing a fur vest, and he was like, 'This is humiliating. I can't go out with you.' We were driving past the protest and he was rolling down the window and screaming, 'She's in here. She's in here.'"

Kim Kardashian: Jessica Simpson 'Looks Hot!'

Kim Kardashian is coming to Jessica Simpson's defense – one curvy girl to another – following a slew of reports ridiculing Simpson's fuller figure.

In an exclusive interview with PEOPLE Wednesday, Kim Kardashian, 28, said, "Call me crazy, but when I saw the picture [of Simpson performing Jan. 25 in Pembroke Pines, Fla.], I was like, 'Oh my God, Jessica looks hot!' "

Kim Kardashian, whose E! reality show Keeping Up with the Kardashians returns in March, says she has no issues whatsoever with Simpson's outfit, which many critics slammed. "I actually love the outfit. I think she looks amazing. I love high-waisted jeans, I loved that belt, and her hair looked fabulous."

Adds Kim Kardashian, who's attending the Super Bowl this weekend with football player beau Reggie Bush of the New Orleans Saints, "I get that she does look curvier, but to me, there's nothing wrong it."

No stranger herself to barbs about her own curvy physique, Kim Kardashian says, "It doesn't really bother me anymore. I love curves. Being super skinny just isn't attractive to me. When I saw that picture, I knew everyone was going to say something. And I thought, 'You know what? Leave Jessica alone!' She's fabulous, she's a really sweet girl, and I admire her for putting up with it."

That sentiment is echoed by Simpson's sister, Ashlee Simpson-Wentz, who posted comments on her blog saying she is "completely disgusted" by headlines about her sister's weight.
