Kim Kardashian Looks Completely Different In These Throwback Photos

Kim Kardashian may be one of the most famous women in the world, but she came from humble beginnings. Of course, when I say "humble beginnings," I mean the life of a D-List celebrity. Before Kardashian was the most talked about reality star on the planet, she was known simply as Paris Hilton's hanger-on friend who organized Hilton's closet and occasionally dated other equally low-level celebrities. Now, Kardashian is married to superstar Kanye West, makes more money than half of Hollywood, and is a permanent tabloid fixture with no signs of slowing down. But what was she like in her early days, back in 2007? You'll never believe what Kim Kardashian was doing before she became Hollywood's true It Girl. Click through to check out the 18 mind-blowing photos.

Another thing that’s no more? The relationship between Nick Cannon and Kim Kardashian. He allegedly dumped her because she lied about her sex tape. You know, because Cannon is soooo classy.
