Spot the difference: Celebrity Big Brother's Georgia Salpa looks more like Kim Kardashian than any of her sisters

By Alanah Eriksen


Look familiar? Celebrity Big Brother contestant Georgia Salpa says she gets compared to Kim Kardashian all the time


She's a reality star with long dark hair extensions, olive skin and pouty lips - but it's not Kim Kardashian.

It's her Irish doppelganger Georgia Salpa, who is shocking viewers on Celebrity Big Brother with her likeness to the U.S. star.

At 26, the lingerie model is four years younger than Kim, but probably has a little less money in the bank.


The pair also share the same big brown eyes, high cheek bones and ample bosom and both have a penchant for extremely tight dresses and towering heels.

But Kim's trademark dierrier is undoubtedly bigger than Greece-born Georgia's, although she has joked in the past that she would consider having implants to look more like Kim.


Look familiar? Georgia is best known for briefly dating Calum Best, while Kim and her family have made and empire out of their name

Georgia is best known for her brief relationship with TV personality Calum Best, while Kim and her family have built an empire out of their name.

Fans took to Twitter last night after it was revealed Georgia would be entering the Celebrity Big Brother house.

One said they could have been 'separated at birth'.

Another added: 'I think Georgia Salpa is better looking than Kim Kardashian. Better figure!'

The beauty wore a short, strapless white dress and told Brian Dowling that she had spent the whole day getting ready.

When she walked down the stairs into the Elstree compound, The Only Way Is Essex star Kirk Norcross looked particularly happy to see her and told her she looked lovely - but she ignored the compliment.


That didn't take long! After less than 24 hours in the house, Georgia stripped to her bikini with Playboy twins Karissa and Kristina Shannon, 22

And after less than 24 hours in the house, she was already stripping to her bikini with Playboy twins Kristina and Karissa Shannon, 22.

She struggled to contain her chest, which she insists is not surgically enhanced, in a frilly two piece as she bounced around the bathroom flaunting her flat stomach and enviably petite body.

Kirk was seen drooling: 'That girl Georgia, I love her, I always have.'


Is that possible? Georgia even looks more like Kim's sister than Kourtney and Khloe Kardashain

'I listened to my intuition': Kim Kardashian remains cryptic when pressed on WHY she dumped Kris in first TV interview since split

By Amelia Proud

Business as usual: Kim Kardashian appeared her her first television interview in Australia on Thursday morning alongside sister Khloe to promote her new handbag range and briefly mention her failed marriage


Kim Kardashian has her filter turned on - and still isn't letting much slip about her ill-fated marriage to Kris Humphries.

During her first television interview since announcing her split on Monday, Kim would only give 'intuition' as the reason why she broke things off with her 26-year-old husband.

Asked by Sunrise breakfast hosts David Koch and Melissa Doyle on Thursday morning whether she fought to save the marriage, Kim responded: 'I think when you know so deep in your heart that you just to listen to your intuition and follow your heart, there's no right or wrong thing to do.'

Protective: The sisters spoke to hosts David Koch and Melissa Doyle, but Kim refused to go into detail about why she dumped Kris Humphries after just 72 days of marriage, only saying she 'listened to her intuition'


When pressed on whether she had considered counselling, Kim clammed up: 'I'm not ready to get into it.'

Kim had more to say on the business front, and happily plugged her new handbag launch as she was interviewed alongside protective sister Khloe.

Asked how she was coping, Kim said: 'I really wanted to stick with my commitment to come out to Australia. I love the fan base here.

'I did want some time to myself but I don't want to bale on everyone and skip out on this commitment here.


Promotional blitz: Kim went on to plug her new range at various Australian department stores today with her sister Khloe

'I've got Khloe and Lamar here and we're just getting through it.'

Khloe added: 'I'm really proud of Kim for not baling. She's being really strong. Lamar and I are here to be her support.

Kim's comments in her televised interview echoed her non-committal responses when she was interviewed on Australian radio about the breakdown of her 72-day marriage.

Earlier, the 31-year-old told Australian radio host Kyle Sandilands: 'I don't think I'm ready to go into details of what went on in my marriage.'

Critics will argue that by hinting that there is more to reveal, Kim is simply trailing future episodes of her reality show.

It's already been reported that the new series of Kim and Kourtney Take New York will feature the doomed relationship heavily.


Ugly truth: Kim was seen arguing with Kris just days before the split was announced and she says she's 'not yet ready' to say what was going on

Support: Kim had support from friend Mel B at her clothing launch on Wednesday night in Australia and she was also joined by sister Khloe and Natalie Bassingthwaite

So with interest in its breakdown at a premium, it would serve Kim well not to be ready to discuss details before the November 27 premiere on E! picks up the tale.

During the interview, Kim also added weight to the argument that her announcement was carefully calculated by admitting she used her trip Down Under as an 'escape' from her troubles in Los Angeles.

It is, of course, also a business endeavour to promote the Kardashian Kollection for Sears.

Sullen: Kim took care to maintain her grimace throughout what seemed to be a convivial conversation

But despite the mercantile nature of her visit, the sombre star repeated the mantra of denial when it came to discussing claims that her wedding to NBA player Humphries was a money-bagging sham.

The wedding generated $18 million in profit, though Kim's mother, Kris Jenner, 55 , outrageously claims that it left her daughter out of pocket.

Kim chanted to Sandilands and his 2Day host, Jackie O yesterday, in her squeaky monotone drawl that she would 'never marry for a TV show, for money, for anything like that.'

But in a moment of realisation, she acknowledged: 'It's ridiculous that I have to defend that, but I guess that's what comes along with when you film your wedding for a reality show.'

Lost in thought: But then Kim says she has much more to reveal

Back in the US, her mother was busy spinning the same line on the Today show.

With all the genuine warmth and conviction of a party politician, Jenner told Today host Ann Curry that the wedding 'wasn't a sham'.

She then oddly asserted that she knew about her daughter's decision to divorce 'a few days earlier' because 'Kim and I are really close'.

'It’s just our job now to wrap our arms around her through thick and thin,' she said.

Jenner, who was on the show to promote her book Kris Jenner and All Things Kardashian, continued: 'It certainly wasn’t for TV. We have enough going on on our show that we don’t have to make things up. She felt that she was in love with him.

It was an amazing time … I had no idea there was a problem at the time. It saddens all of us.'

Defence: Kris Jenner pushed the party line back in the US while Kim spoke out in Australia

Kim's 'momager,' who released her cash in tome yesterday just hours after Kim's statement, made no reference of course, to the huge viewing numbers drawn in specifically for Kim's wedding episode, or the $15 million in TV rights alone that was garnered by the family for the special.

Kris did add: 'Kim feels that she’s let a lot of people down. She’s sick about it.'

Her daughter was certainly pulling the kind of sad faces you'd associate with a spot of post-break up nausea as she posed at her launch in Sydney.

Obviously well-instructed by her mother, Kim mugged a series of pained grimaces in a relatively sober patterned dress and black cape at Hugo's department store last night.

It was another tactic that misfired as the reality behemoth aimed for sad but looked merely sullen.

She was joined by her sister Khloe, her husband Lamar Odom and Australian X Factor judges Natalie Bassingthwaite, Mel B and her husband Stephen Belafonte.

The 36-year-old former Spice Girl was a guest at Kim's fairytale wedding in Montecitio, California on August 21, but if she was miffed about shelling out for a wedding present, it didn't show.

The mother-of-two, who gave birth to baby Madison last month, smiled warmly as she supported her friend.

She is certainly someone who could offer advice on how to weather a scandal.

Her former husband was arrested this month on a charge of battery against their 12-year-old daughter and she was embroiled in an embarrassing scandal when ex-boyfriend Eddie Murphy questioned the paternity of their four-year-old daughter, Angel, while she was heavily pregnant.

Her wedding to 12-year-old Phoenix's father Jimmy Gulzar lasted for just over a year.

Kim's po-faced public appearance came just hours after she posted a statement on her official website in an attempt to stem the flow of hoax accusations.

She told fans: 'I married for love. I can’t believe I even have to defend this. I would not have spent so much time on something just for a TV show!'

'Everyone that knows me knows that I’m a hopeless romantic! I love with all of my heart and soul. I want a family and babies and a real life so badly that maybe I rushed in to something too soon.

'I believed in love and the dream of what I wanted so badly. I felt like I was on a fast roller coaster and couldn’t get off when now I know I probably should have.

'I got caught up with the hoopla and the filming of the TV show that when I probably should have ended my relationship, I didn’t know how to and didn’t want to disappoint a lot of people.'

She added: 'There are also reports that I made millions of dollars off of the wedding. These reports are simply not true and it makes me so sad to have to even clarify this.

'I’m so grateful to everyone who took the time to come to my wedding and I’ll be donating the money for all the gifts to the Dream Foundation.'

Kim is thought to be donating $200,000 to the charity.

Kim Kardashian steps out without her wedding or engagement rings as she jets to Australia while her camp 'slam Kris for chasing fame'

-Kim pictured at LAX without her wedding or engagement rings
-She is heading to Australia to promote her show
-Kim's camp are said to claim Kris was 'chasing fame by marrying her'
-Kris Humphries seen today wearing his wedding ring
-It has been reported marriage 'was a hoax'

No bling: Kim Kardashian was seen at LAX airport earlier today without her wedding ring or her engagement ring after announcing she was filing for divorce from Kris Humphries


She only announced she was filing for divorce earlier yesterday but Kim Kardashian has already stepped out without her engagement and wedding rings.

The 31-year-old reality TV star was seen arriving at LAX airport heading for a trip to Australia.

Kim looked tired and was dressed down for the flight in a simple white T-shirt, black jeans and a leather jacket.

While Kris is reportedly 'devastated' by the not-so-shock announcement, after rumours have dogged their marriage for weeks, Kim's camp are said to be claiming her estranged husband was chasing fame.

According to TMZ, when divorce was mentioned Kris 'went into full Hollywood gear, talking about branding the Kris Humphries name with cologne, nightclub appearances'.

Kim was also said to have gone off Kris after he 'hired a Hollywood publicist' according to the gossip website.

Kris' motives were questioned by Khloe Kardashian before their wedding, which viewers say in the reality show about their wedding which saw the pair come to blows.

Meanwhile reports are emerging that their whole marriage, which is said to have netted the former couple $18million, is a hoax, according to Radaronline.com.

A source told the website: 'It was pretty much an arranged marriage right from the start.'

'Kim was looking for a husband and Kris was selected for her, amongst others. She wasn’t really into him but she hoped she would be able to develop some feelings, but it never happened. She was never particularly attracted to him, and by all accounts absolutely hated sleeping with him or even having to make out with him.'

Yesterday Kris was seen in his home state of Minnesota wearing his wedding ring as he headed to the gym.

Neither Kris nor Kim have tweeted about their marriage breakdown although the socialite did issue a statement earlier yesterday.

Kim insisted she had hoped the marriage would 'last forever'.

Getting away: While Kim has jetted off to Australia it has been claimed that Kim's camp have accused Kris Humphries of 'chasing fame' according to gossip website TMZ

The 31-year-old reality star said it was 'not an easy decision' after filing for divorce from NBA star Kris, 26, after just 72 days of marriage on the grounds of 'irreconcilable differences'.

In a statement to E! - which screens her TV show - Kim said: 'After careful consideration, I have decided to end my marriage. I hope everyone understands this was not an easy decision.

'I had hoped this marriage was forever, but sometimes things don't work out as planned. We remain friends and wish each other the best.'

Kris, meanwhile, says he is devastated by Kim's decision, with TMZ claiming he only learnt she was divorcing him this morning.

'I'm committed to this marriage and everything this covenant represents,' he said in a statement via his representative.

It's over: Kim Kardashian is reported to be filing for divorce from husband Kris Humphries after just 72 days of marriage

We're done: Court documents filed today show Kim has filed for divorce on the grounds of irreconcilable differences


'I love my wife and am devastated to learn she filed for divorce ... I'm willing to do whatever it takes to make it work.'

Yesterday morning Ryan Seacrest, the producer of her reality show, tweeted: 'Yes @KimKardashian is filing for divorce this morning. I touched base with her, getting a statement in just a few mins.'

Kim ensured they both signed a prenuptial agreement before they got hitched at a lavish ceremony on August 20 in Montecito, California.

It netted the couple a reported $18million from magazine deals, TV coverage and endorsements - that's $250,000 every day.

News of their divorce will no doubt add fuel to the fire that the wedding was merely a cynical manoeuvre to cash in at a time when Kim's star had reached its zenith.

Yesterday Kim took to Twitter, but rather than mentioning anything about her marital breakdown cynically plugged her new boutique Kardashian Khaos, which opens today at The Mirage hotel in Las Vegas.

Meanwhile, Khloe Kardashian also took to her Twitter account to defend her elder sister against negative comments.

'Reading some of these comments r so hurtful,' she wrote. 'I'm grateful 4our fans who understand & r being respectful. Hate is disgusting. Love is everything.'

She then added on a later tweet: 'Thank God for family. We are strong and we will only become closer! I love YOU.'


Tweet response: Kim's younger sister Khloe Kardashian took to Twitter to tweet against the fans who have written 'hurtful' comments about the split

Family united: Kourtney Kardashian tweeted her support for Kim saying that the family are 'sticking together' as always


Kourtney Kardashian also rushed to Twitter to voice her support for her younger sister.

'Our sister is going through a difficult time but we're a close family and are sticking together as always,' she wrote.

'We appreciate everyone's kindness and support. @kim kardashian, we love you.'
Insiders have revealed the entire wedding was a sham.

'It was pretty much an arranged marriage right from the start,' one source, close to the Keeping Up With The Kardashians production told RadarOnline.com.

'Kim was looking for a husband and Kris was selected for her, amongst others. She wasn’t really into him but she hoped she would be able to develop some feelings, but it never happened.'

The date of Kim and Kris's separation is listed as yesterday (October 31), divorce papers logged with the Superior Court of California show.

'It's true': Ryan Seacrest, the producer of her E! reality show, just tweeted: 'Yes @KimKardashian is filing for divorce this morning.
I touched base with her, getting a statement in just a few mins'


She has hired top divorce lawyer Laura Wasser, who has dealt with the likes of Britney Spears, Maria Shriver, Angelina Jolie and Ryan Reynolds.

According to Us Weekly, the couple's assets will be divided in accordance with their prenuptial agreement.

Kim's assets prior to the marriage are said to all be protected, and she will also keep everything she earned during their short union.

Television network E! - which screens the Kardashian reality show - released a statement about the divorce.

It read: 'All of us at E! are surprised and saddened by this news, and we send our support to Kim and Kris at this difficult time.

'The Kardashians have always been uniquely open with all aspects of their lives from joyous events to intimate moments to heartbreaking transitions.

'E! will continue to share the fascinating real lives and larger-than-life existence of this close-knit family.'

However, an insider told the New York post that producers are considering whether to stop showing re-runs of Kim's Fairytale Wedding, which was first broadcast in two parts from October 9.

Executives fear the illusion of the fairytale has now been shattered and, therefore, it could ultimately damage the Kardashian brand to keep showing it.

MailOnline reported earlier this month how Kim and Kris's marriage had hit the rocks.

A source close to the couple told us just two weeks ago: 'I don’t know when they’ll announce the split or why they got married in the first place but they are done.’

'They are divorcing. Kim has been staying in a New York hotel which Kris has failed to visit.'

The couple have been dogged by persistent reports that all is not well between them for several weeks now.

Insider: A source told MailOnline that the couple were headed for a split


Earlier this month Star magazine claimed Humphries has been spotted partying in both Miami and New York without Kim, getting flirty with multiple women and 'acting like a single man.'

U.S. magazine Life & Style alleges that on a recent trip to Toronto, Kris contacted his ex-girlfriend, Bianka Kamber.

The magazine also spoke to a Kourtney & Kim Take New York producer who said: 'Kim's mapping out 2012, including holidays, and Kris isn't a part of it. Any itineraries for the future don't include Kris very much.'

The couple's fiery relationship was captured on her reality show Keeping Up With Kardashians, where strong-minded Kris frequently complained about feeling 'emasculated' by Kim.

Another big factor behind the split apparently hinged on a difference in opinion about where to live once the wedding fuss died down.

According to TMZ, sources revealed Kris was set on moving to his home state of Minnesota.

Kim, meanwhile, wanted to stay in Los Angeles, she she is from and where she believes her career can be best served.

The website adds that the while the break up is not a 'nasty one' the couple came to the realisation that things would not work out long-term.

Over the weekend Kim attended a Halloween party in New York - but tellingly did not bring Kris along.

She instead made a red carpet appearance with her PR friend Jonathan Cheban at the Midori Green event.

Over recent weeks the reality star has often been spotted alone and without Humphries.

Following their wedding, the couple shared a brief honeymoon together in Italy.


Former flames: Kim was married to music producer Damon Thomas, left, between 2000 and 2004, and also dated singer Ray J, centre, for two years and NFL star Reggie Bush for three years, right

But they quickly returned to New York to begin filming on her spin-off reality show Kourtney & Kim Take New York, where they lived in a plush NYC hotel suite along with Kourtney and her boyfriend Scott Disick.

Kim and Kris started dating last November soon after Kim ended her brief dalliance with Canadian model Gabriel Aubry - Halle Berry's ex - and announced their engagement in May.

This will mark the second failed marriage for Kim, she eloped to Las Vegas with music producer Damon Thomas - 10 years her senior - when she was just 19, but divorced in 2004 after four years together.

She has also had high-profile relationships with RnB singer Ray J, who she filmed a sex tape with, and NFL star Reggie Bush.
