just around the corner now, we are requesting the honor of your presence at the arrival of our latest glossy photo gallery featuring Kim, Kris and their super-glam nuptials. London - Reality TV star Kim Kardashian's new waxwork double dressed as a bride has been unveiled at Madame Tussauds ahead of the socialite's wedding. Kardashian will marry basketball star Kris Humphries in Montecito, California, Saturday, contactmusic.com reports.
Kardashian will wear two Vera Wang gowns on her big day, but her waxwork double has been dressed by Beverly Hills couturier Simin. Jewels worth $1 million adorn the figure. On hearing the news that her wax look-alike had been dressed for the wedding, Kardashian tweeted she was "excited" to see it.
The new $300,000 waxwork is the third one of Kardashian on display at Madame Tussauds museums. People Magazine's eye-popping $1.5 million purchase of exclusive photo rights to Kim Kardashian's wedding to New Jersey Nets player Kris Humphries is being heralded as a success for the weekly publication in today’s downward sliding magazine market. But in order to make the pricey gamble pay off, the magazine had to get a little sneaky with its readers.
The Kardashian wedding issue, which hit newsstands Aug. 24, sold about 1.5 million copies, a 31 percent increase over the current sales average of 1.15 million. That's especially impressive, considering that the three previous covers -- featuring Angelina Jolie, Sandra Bullock and the Bachelorette -- all sold under the average. This comes during a hard time for the weekly, which experienced a 10.5 percent drop in newsstand sales to 1.2 million for the first half of 2011, causing the perennial No. 2 newsstand seller to fall behind both Cosmopolitan and Women’s World in sales according to the latest Audit Bureau of Circulation’s magazine figures.
