Kim Kardashian on North Korea's After Funeral After Party List. New Reality TV Show: Kardashians Take Korea! kardashian tweets Are the Kardashians unknowingly sponsoring child labor? Star Magazine published a report today, according to Radar Online, alleging that several of the Kardashian family's lifestyle and fashion brands, including ShoeDazzle and Kris Jenner 'Kollection' for QVC, are manufactured in sweatshops that employ underage and overworked laborers. The report charges that workers in the area of China where the Kardashimerch is produced aren't held to government regulations, often pushed to toil in hot factories seven days a week with minimal breaks for just $1/hour: "The Kardashians are in bed with some pretty bad people," Charles Kernaghan, the executive director of the Institute for Global Labour and Human Rights, tells Star. "Not only are celebrities like the Kardashians taking advantage of these workers, they are holding hands with a government that spits on democracy and women's rights." The spokesperson for the E! reality stars, however, says the family was unaware of any wrongdoing: "This is the first we are hearing about it and take it very seriously as we would never condone this," their high powered rep Jill Fritzo exclusively told Radaronline.com on behalf of the Kardashians. "We are presently investigating the situation." Kris Jenner corroborated the rep's claim in a statement for TMZ, saying: "As far as I know the factories that are used to manufacture the Kardashian clothing and shoes have nothing terrible going on at all and the factories are very well policed and meet factory standards." The Kardashian collections under suspicion include their high-end K-Dash clothing line, Kris Jenner's Kollection For QVC and ShoeDazzle, a company Kim founded and for which Perez Hilton has also designed. The alleged misdoings apparently do not relate to their Sears line. We hope for the sake of the workers that these charges turn out to be false. * * * The Japanese magician Princess Tenko could be one of the few non-Koreans to attend Kim Jong-il's funeral. Photograph: Koichi Kamoshida/Getty Images As North Korea prepares for the funeral of Kim Jong-il, speculation over the guest list has reached Shakespearean levels of intrigue. The few non-Koreans attending the funeral could include a Japanese celebrity magician. Tenko Hikita performed in Pyongyang at Kim Jong-il's invitation in 1998 and 2000, and is said to have had several private dinners with him. The magician, known in Japan as Princess Tenko, has received phone calls and emails from one of Kim's relatives inviting her to the funeral, reports said, adding that she had yet to decide whether to accept. One notable absence from the guest list is Kim Jong-nam, the deceased leader's eldest son who, according to Confucian tradition, could at one time have expected to take over from his father. But the 40-year-old ruled himself out of succession plans when he was caught attempting to enter Japan on a fake passport in 2001, saying he wanted to visit Tokyo Disneyland. His detention, and immediate deportation, proved a huge embarrassment for the North Korean authorities. Jong-nam failed where the leader-in-waiting, his youngest brother Kim Jong-un, had apparently succeeded. Jong-un made a visit to Tokyo Disneyland in 1991, when he was aged about eight, the Yomiuri Shimbun newspaper said. Accompanied by his elder brother, Jong-chul, he entered Japan on a fake Brazilian passport and stayed for 11 days. He had left by the time Japanese security agents began tracking his whereabouts, the newspaper said. Jong-nam now lives in de facto exile in Macao, where he is said to be a regular visitor to the Chinese territory's casinos. He has not been seen in public since his father died, and his name is not on the list of 232 prominent North Koreans organising the state funeral. Experts said Jong-nam would do well to stay away from the funeral in case his presence was interpreted as an attempt to undermine his youngest brother. "If I were Kim Jong-nam, I wouldn't come to the father's funeral; to Kim Jong-un, he is more a political enemy than a half-brother," Choi Jin-wook at the Korea Institute for National Unification in Seoul told the New York Times. * * * kim, kourtney, kloe and rob are all the biological children of Robert Kardashian and Kris Jenner (Kardashian).
