Kim Kardashian proud to represent ME women

In an interview with Oprah Winfrey for Oprah\'s Next Chapter, which showed in the US on Sunday, Kim Kardashian said she was proud to represent Middle Eastern women in the US. When Winfrey asked the reality star if she thought her family\'s television show would have been successful if they had not been physically attractive, Kardashian replied: \"I don\'t think it would have happened if we were all skinny pretty models. I think it has to do with us, the curves, the dark hair. I remember when the wave of Jennifer Lopez, Salma Hayek and these beautiful Hispanic women came into light, and I looked up to them, but I was like: \'Where are the Middle Eastern women?\' I think we took that category and helped it broaden.\" * IANS Arsenio Hall returning to late-night TV Arsenio Hall is returning to TV\'s late-night scene, where he flourished with a talk show two decades ago.
