It’s been about a year since last we saw Kimberly Stewart, the often tragic-looking daughter of aging rocker Rod Stewart, around here on the blog — which is a good thing, IMHO — but homegirl surfaced in London, England last night and decided to wave hello to the paparazzi who were interested in photographing her. Old skool Pink is the new Blog readers may remember that Kim and all her tragedy was a semi-regular fixture on the blog but has since fallen off my radar … so today I figured, What the Hell:

For those of you unfamiliar with my distaste for K. Stew allow me to enlighten. I’ve never particularly been a fan of the girl primarily because, to me, she reeked of a sad attempt to become Paris Hilton. Her ability to don the most fugly of fashions in public was another reason to poke fun at her. When she went on the record in an interview to call Jennifer Aniston “homely”, she pretty much became dead to me. That said … it pains me to admit that she appears to have cleaned up her appearance TENFOLD since she moved to London (and away from SoCal) and altho she seems to have moved on from trying to become Paris to trying to become Vicki B., I no longer find it even interesting to really poke fun at her any more. I guess barring any future arrests or (heaven forbid) embarrassing wardrobe malfunctions (**SHUDDER**) there really is no need to ever talk about the poor lamb again. I think it’s better that way. Here’s to a figurative Peace the Spork Out to Kim Stewart.
