Millard Fillmore, 13th President of the United States, served from 1850-1853. What was he famous for and what does it have to do with the Kardashians? If you tried to list the well-known accomplishments by Fillmore, aside from being elected to the Presidency, your list would be blank. Fillmore is famous for having done nothing famous while in office.
Fast forward to the Kardashians. While they have a "reality" television show, none of them is likely to win an Academy Award or the Nobel Peace Prize. My youngest daughter watches the show sometimes, and I have glanced at it for a few minutes; I have to say I was not entertained.
Kim Kardashian's husband recently nominated her for a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, and the Hollywood Chamber of commerce rejected the nomination. Apparently, she had not done anything worthy of deserving a star. Considering some of the people who have stars on the Walk of Fame, the bar appears to be pretty low sometimes. Apparently, though, if your name is Kardashian, not low enough. It looks like Bugs Bunny and Big Bird, can have their stars, but not poor Kim.
Being famous without actually doing anything? It worked for Millard Fillmore, and, apparently, it works for the Kardashians. I guess they are the Millard Fillmores of the 21st century.
