Kim Kardashian sent out the above ‘fake’ picture of her baby to see if anyone would attempt to sell the image.

Because Kim Kardashian knows the people she surrounds herself with are as greedy and unscrupulous as she is, she sent out a picture of a baby that wasn’t hers to her friends to see if any of them would attempt to sell the picture to the media. Naturally, one of them did, which is great for Kim, now she knows who to turn to next time she needs a real picture leaked. That’s what friends are for. From TMZ:

Kim felt people in her world were going to hawk baby photos, so she wanted to catch the culprits quickly.  We’re told Kim hatched a plan and sent a half-dozen of her “friends” pictures of a baby she claimed was North West — but we’re told it was an impostor infant.

In related news, Radar is reporting that Kim’s own brother, weight-gain extraordinaire, Rob Kardashian has been barred from seeing his already-more-famous-than-he-is niece, but Kim has allowed Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak to see the newborn.

“Rob’s got nothing going for him,” explained Kris ‘Rumplestiltskin’ Jenner, “But, Steve’s got connections, we’ve gotta get this baby networking as soon as possible.”
