The year is 2044, and all we are legally allowed to write about at* heat* magazine is celebrities who want to appear on* Downton Abbey*. ‘I would love to appear on Downton Abbey!’ wheeze the dusty, reanimated remains of Geri Halliwell. ‘I would also love to appear on Downton Abbey!’ says Pop Idol giant Rik Waller. ‘I love Downton Abbey!’ Ronan Keating says. ‘I would love to appear on Downton Abbey!’
Anyway, in ‘celebrities who would like to appear on Downton Abbey but also by extension haven’t even seen Downton Abbey because the whole premise of Downton Abbey is about old posh people doing olde tyme posh person things and not, like, celebrity cameos breezing through every ten minutes’ news, Kim Kardashian wants to appear on Downton Abbey. Imagine it! Imagine Downton being shaken to its very core by this glam stranger!
“I’m a big fan,” The Sun reports her saying. “I’d love to be on it if they asked. I love things like that.”
Kim is reportedly looking to follow in the footsteps of actual actor George Clooney, who is set to appear in this year’s Christmas episode, presumably as a fast-talking charming American man, in a massive zig from his usual zag. But as the paper points out, Kim’s acting career isn’t quite so glowing: she appeared on US show Drop Dead Diva (?), Brothers (?) and Beyond The Break (???). Also, last year, she was in Temptation : Confessions of a Marriage Counselor (??????????????????????????).
