Kim Kardashian: 'Jonathan Cheban Taught Me How To be Famous'

Jonathan Cheban has always been known as Kim Kardashian’s right-hand man, with the star’s best friend regularly appearing on Keeping Up With The Kardashians.

However, back in January Jonathan made a name for himself here in the UK when he took part in Celebrity Big Brother and appeared to give TOWIE star Gemma Collins some tips and tricks to living in the limelight.

And it turns out that Gem is not the only lady to have been taught a thing or two by the PR guru, with Kim herself admitting that Jonathan basically taught her how to be a celebrity.

Maybe he should start offering some kind of masterclass?

In a video posted to her website, Kim explained: “When I was living on Robertson [Boulevard], it was like paparazzi central. I was living right behind Kitson, and every time I’d go to the gym or go eat, every paparazzi would ask me questions and I would be like, ‘Hey, guys!’

"Like, I so wanted the attention.

"Jonathan was like, 'This has got to stop. Do you think Victoria Beckham sits and does all these interviews?’ [He said,] 'Do you think everyone else has smiles on their faces? You are too happy, you are smiling way too much.

”'Put your sunglasses on. You need a whole makeover and you need to stop talking and stop smiling.’“

Ooft, it sounds like Jon gave the tough love that Kim well and truly needed - and no doubt what helped the mother-of-two launch herself into the spotlight.

Where would she be without him, eh?
