Kim Kardashian's GUIDE to the perfect SELFIE

'But no duck face,' Kim says, pouting her plump lips together. 'I love doing that, because it gives you cheekbones. But people get so mad.'

However, one person who certainly doesn't think Kim's penchant for self-portraits is tacky is boyfriend Kanye West, who thinks his girlfriend is like a modern day Marilyn Monroe.

Kanye has blasted Vanity Fair magazine for featuring supermodel Kate Upton, 21, styled to look like the Some Like It Hot star, on the cover of its recent 100th anniversary issue and hailed his fiancee, 33, for being similar to the late legendary actress because she divides public opinion and is controversial.

It's a hard life: Kim Kardashian showing her fans what she does best

The rapper told Chicago's Power 105.1 radio station on Tuesday morning: 'I have a love/hate relationship with the paparazzi but actually I love them because they empower us over, ya know Vanity Fair and Graydon Carter that wanna say Kate Upton is Marilyn Monroe.

'Kate Upton ain't Marilyn Monroe. Kim is Marilyn Monroe, you know that. She was controversial. She [is] controversial.'

Meanwhile, Kanye believes he is similar to the late animator Walt Disney and Renaissance artist Michelangelo.

He said: 'I'm more like, a Walt Disney or something. Like, rap is just a chamber of my thoughts. It's something that I really wanted to express as a modern-day poet, because you know, if I had lived in a past lifetime, maybe I would have been a playwright or something.

'But in this lifetime, to be the most heard and the most relevant, the most relevant is to be a rap rock star. You can express at the highest level there.'

He added: 'I'm like Howard Hughes! I'm like [NBA commissioner] David Stern! I'm like Steve Jobs!'

The 36-year-old star also brushed off the idea that he may not be worthy of such comparisons.

He said: 'If anything, that's a compliment to them! I'm like Michelangelo. Because I'm the new version of that. This is a reality. I'm living inside of a dream world.'

Those feelings of disgust when she sees something ridiculous she's tweeted or posted earlier and those no longer relevant played out self portraits seriously must plague this woman and everyone around her to tears!

If she knows how to take the best selfies, how does she explain that horrible picture of her in the white bathing suit, overemphasizing her worst features? It was all bum and large thighs, did not look good at all.

I cannot , for the life of me, even begin to understand that kind of desperate neediness for attention and self absorption. She has to have a mental disorder to constantly crave that much.
