Kim Kardshian, Ambassador?

Since when have reality TV show stars become internationally noteworthy?

I clearly must have missed that memo but its seems that Kim Kardashian may well become the next UN Ambassador for the country of South Africa.
Kim was asked at the Empowerment of Africa dinner if she would be interested in becoming an ambassador because the "UN is looking for more influential 'pop culture' celebs to inspire younger generations to become more involved in international affairs."

She plans to team up with Russell Simmon’s Diamond Empowerment Fund for the effort.

I'm not so sure how I feel about this one but -- they do have a point about pop culture celebs promoting change. Look at how the election turned out and how many new voters were registered just from the celeb buzz around it.

Not sure if Kim K. would be the most "honorable" choice here but I'm not mad at the motivation behind this.

What's your take? Think Kim. K would be a good ambassador choice?
