Kim Kardashian really is fine with her cellulite, except that she's not

Remember a few months ago when Paris Hilton got all bitchface at Kim Kardashian and made the totally catty comment about Kim's cellulite? Well, it seems that Da Booty has gotten a little work done on her bumpage and she wants you to know that it wasn't a response to Hilton's potshot at Kim's body image and self-esteem. Check it:

"...now everyone is assuming I am secretly hurt by Paris's comments about me having cellulite and I am now rushing to try to do anything I can to get rid of it! Well of course that is not the case! This treatment was done months before her joking around and I wouldn't have filmed the process if this was something I was insecure or embarrassed about! I work out extremely hard and am happy with my shape...cellulite, not so much! Some things are just genetic and no matter how much working out you do, it just doesn't help! LOL...what girl doesn't have a little bit of cellulite? And who wants it, anyway?!"

That's right! It's just a genetic condition, no more or less a moral judgment than having a unique schnoz or red hair. And if she gets it zapped, it's really no different than Hilton's serious amount of cosmetic surgery. Personally, I'm all about the body acceptance, but I understand that these creatures in Hollywood are playing by an entirely different set of rules than we are. Honestly, I tend to give Kardashian a pass since she refuses to take any guff about her refusal to adhere to the Hollywood ideal bottom. It's pretty refreshing, actually. I'm starting to think that they hand out those non-existent butts at the local Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf.

It should be noted that a new study found that subcutaneous fat actually "boosts health" and lowers the risk of Type II Diabetes. So take your cellulite woes with a grain of salt!

    Cellulite isn't just genetic. It's mostly caused by toxins in your diet. I got rid of mine by improving my diet, eating less meat, and drinking LOTS of green tea.

    I don't know if it's genetic or not but i do know I've dealt with cellulite since i was very young. I was athletic and ate healthy. When I was a young teen I avoided going to the beach and to the pool. I often felt so self conscience seeing my sister's didn't have this problem and I ate healthier and was more athletic. I was never able to afford to correct this and grew up not being able to wear short shorts or bathing suits. As for Kim the only thing I don't understand is how she can even consider (what's her face?) her friend after making those comments. But in the end I look at (what's her face?) and see why she'd need to make that type of a comment in the first place. It makes her feel better. As far as I'm concerned Kim is far much more attractive and is not flat as a board on both sides. Kim should keep her lil friend (enemy) close. Because whenever I see them both together in photos it's Kim who stands out - not (what's her face.)

    This is rare for me but for once I actually agree with Kim Kardashian. If I could afford to get some work done on my cellulite like she did, I'd do it in a New York minute. It is genetic. I eat a healthy diet, don't drink, smoke or do drugs and have been working out regularly for the last 15 years and I've still got cellulite. At least Kim Kardashian is being honest about it. Not like Ms. Hilton with her numerous nose jobs, hair extensions and colored contacts. Even with all the work she's had done, she's still ugly. Sounds like she's more jealous than anything.

    Deidre, it's been said time and time again this girl has had butt implants and no, she's stated as well as her mother (who seems to say like it is) that her daughter was born with that rear. My daughter's best friend who happens to be blonde, blue-eyed and about 6 feet tall has a shape that keeps men's heads spinning. Why? because she has a very real, big (no huge) rear end! And yes, she's gorgeous! BTW...

    this girl whom I've known since she was a kid and calls me mom has never had butt implants and how do I know this...

    because she comes from a hard working family who does not have the means to do this. She often says now, as an adult, If i had money ma, I'd so get surgery because of the cellulite not the size of her rear.

    I wish I could have a rear end like hers without a tummy that would match. But, my booty is smaller and I'm ok with that.

Is weight loss surgery the answer for the obesity epidemic? Should all the fatties just go in for the slice and dice and then hit the ground running (and shrinking)?
