E! reality star Kim Kardashian of "Keeping Up With the Kardashians" has been sued by Dr. Sanford Siegal, creator of the Cookie Diet, for defamation for tweeting that she was down on the diet, reports MediaPost.

In a suit filed in Florida last week, Dr. Siegal claimed that Kardashian was a paid endorsee for his cookie diet at the time she wrote on Twitter that she was not in favor of the plan. She allegedly tweeted, "Not true! I would never do this unhealthy diet! I do QuickTrim!"

Kardashian reportedly earns $10,000 per tweet as an endorser.

KEYWORDS: cookiediet; drsanfordsiegal; food; hollywood; kimkardashian; lawsuit; notalent; slut; twitter; twittersuit
However, Kardashian did (video) make Deep-Fries Oreos [her favorite junk food] on 'The Jay Leno Show' [Jan. 2010]

Kim is also known of late for her "little white lies" on the family reality show "Keeping Up With The Kardashians". (Step dad is Olymian Bruce Jenner, birth dad deceased 2003 attorney Robert Kardashian.)

$10,000 a tweet???? How tweet it is!!!

Defamation?? Seems more like a breach of contract issue to me.

So, if a picture is worth 1,000 words and a Tweet from Kim is worth $10,000 - what would a picture of her be worth?

It’s worth the value of the square root of two divided by zero.

So every author who gets a bad book review can sue?

Sounds stupid to me, but of course I’m not a lawyer.

Think you were going for a picture, so will help

I wonder if there is a "cap on tweets"..@ 10K a tweet.

I like big butts and I can not lie
You other brothers can’t deny
That when a girl walks in with an itty bitty waist
And a round thing in your face
You get sprung, wanna pull out your tough
‘Cause you notice that butt was stuffed
Deep in the jeans she’s wearing
I’m hooked and I can’t stop staring
Oh baby, I wanna get with you
And take your picture
My homeboys tried to warn me
But that butt you got makes me so horny
Ooh, Rump-o’-smooth-skin
You say you wanna get in my Benz?
Well, use me, use me
‘Cause you ain’t that average groupie
I’ve seen them dancin’
To hell with romancin’
She’s sweat, wet,
Got it goin’ like a turbo ‘Vette
I’m tired of magazines
Sayin’ flat butts are the thing
Take the average black man and ask him that
She gotta pack much back
So, fellas! (Yeah!) Fellas! (Yeah!)
Has your girlfriend got the butt? (Hell yeah!)
Tell ‘em to shake it! (Shake it!) Shake it! (Shake it!)
Shake that healthy butt!
Baby got back!

She looked great on Dancing with Stars whenever that was.

Seems like she’s doing the Oprah weight fluctuation thing (on a much smaller scale).
