Kim Kardashian's billionaire date complains she's 'annoying' and won't dance with him despite '$500k payday' as she arrives to Vienna Ball in sexy dress



All is not well in Austria.
Kim Kardashian has already ticked off her host, billionaire mogul Richard Lugner, on Thursday, just hours before being his date at the prestigious Opera Ball in Vienna, where she showed up in a sheer black top and pink satin skirt.
According to RadarOnline, the 81-year-old told reporters during a photo call at his Lugner City mall that the reality star was not doing what he wanted. 'Kim is annoying me because she's not sticking to the program,' he said. The 33-year-old was reportedly paid $500,000 for her services.

On Thursday afternoon the reality star looked uncomfortable as she attended a press conference with the senior citizen in front of his shopping mecca in the Austrian city.
Mom Kris Jenner seemed to be thrilled, however, with the appearance, as she was seen laughing and smiling while her daughter fulfilled her obligations.
Lugner's gripes about the future Mrs Kanye West had to do with how much time she would spend with him, according to the report.

The European tycoon had expected Kim and her mother to be by his side soon after they landed from New York City.
But instead they went to a Schnitzel restaurant to film scenes for their E! reality show.
'She’s filming and so she doesn’t want to have me around,' he told a group of reporters. He added, 'The guest should be with me and not anywhere else that is not agreed upon.'
Paris Hilton was his guest in 2007. Carmen Electra and Dita Von Teese have also flown to Vienna to be with the business owner for the Opera Ball.
Another gripe Lugner had was that she didn't want to dance with him. He announced in a press conference that at 11:45 p.m. during the ball, the beauty would join him on the dancefloor.
But Kim added that it would not be her, but her mother dancing with the grey-haired man. 'I’d rather watch the dancing,' she explained.
Proving that he really isn't a fan of the looker, he even joked that he had had cosmetic procedures - 15 shots of Botox - just as Kim has, according to Radar.
'What’s good for [Kim] is good for me too,' he said.

By the looks of it, Kim seemed to be doing her job in Vienna quite well.She was photographed with Lugner at the airport on Wednesday, then again at the mall on Thursday. She was also seen holding his arm at the Ball.
During her daytime appearance, the new mother looked amazing as she showed off a trim waistline in a fitted white dress that would be appropriate for a spring tea party. She also wore a matching white coat as she posed next to the entrepreneur, who looked exhausted and stressed out.
Not one to give glamor a day off, Kardashian walked in light grey high heels during her meet and greet. Her hair was worn straight and long, and there wasn't much color on her face, just the usual black eye makeup and touch of pink lip gloss.

A very old tradition that became a new ritual for celebrity loving Lugner...

The Vienna Opera Ball (Wiener Opernball in German) is one of the highlights of the Viennese carnival season.
Every year the auditorium of the Vienna State Opera is turned into a large ballroom. On the eve of the event, the rows of seats are removed from the stalls, and a new floor, level with the stage, is built.
The ball was first held 1935, but was suspended during World War II.
Lugner's tradition doesn't date as far back; the businessman started the tradition of taking a celebrity date (who is paid a fee) in 1991.
Inviting celebrities to his mall, Lugner City, helped make Richard's name and fortune and ushered Austria into a more celebrity-driven era, so he's a fan of the personal appearance... and this event is its apogee.
In 2010, Lindsay Lohan became the only celebrity who failed to show.
He's been accompanied so far by: Gina Lollobrigida, Harry Belafonte, Joan Collins, Ivana Trump, Sophia Loren, Grace Jones, Sarah, Duchess of York, Raquel Welch, Faye Dunaway
Jacqueline Bisset and Nadja Abdel Farrag, Farrah Fawcett, Claudia Cardinale, Pamela Anderson and Kid Rock, Andie MacDowell, Geri Halliwell, Carmen Electra, Paris Hilton
Dita von Teese, Nicollette Sheridan, Dieter Bohlen (originally meant to be Lindsay Lohan,  Larry Hagman, Karima El Mahroug aka Ruby the Heart Stealer and Zachi Noy,  Brigitte Nielsen, Roger Moore and Mira Sorvino.

Lollobrigida has accompanied Lugner twice, in 1991 and 2013.
Mother Kris looked ecstatic to be a part of all the hoopla. She smiled from ear-to-ear in a black suit with a low-cut top that displayed her cleavage.
At one point she stood near her daughter as she gave a short speech.
Standing off to the side and holding a bouquet of flowers, Jenner almost looked like a bridesmaid to the white-clad Kim who was standing close to the tycoon.
Celebrities who have attended the opera with Lugner in the past have reportedly been paid for their appearances.
Numbers as low as $150,000 and as high as $500,000 have been whispered about.
There has also been reports that the women get to borrow expensive jewelry for the Ball.
Lindsay Lohan was memorably a no show at the event in 2010 after promising to appear.

In 2011 Lugner made a misstep when he paid Karima El-Mahroug €40,000 (£34,000) to be his escort.
Unbeknownst to Lugner, Karima was also known as 'Ruby The Heart Stealer,' and was one of Silvio Berlusconi's infamous 'bunga bunga' girls.
In February 2011, Berlusconi was charged with paying for sex with Mahroug between February and May 2010 when she was under 18.
He was also charged with abusing his political powers in an attempt to cover up the relationship.
On 24 June 2013, Berlusconi was found guilty of paying El Mahroug for sex when she was 17 years old, and of abusing his powers in an ensuing cover up.

It's understandable why Kris and Kim wanted to flee the US this week.
On Thursday RadarOnline reported their show Keeping Up With The Kardashians lost 500,000 viewers in one week.
Season nine has had some very disappointing numbers overall with the season premiere at 2.56 million viewers.
The show used to see almost almost 3.4 million viewers in its hey day. That's almost 100,000 more viewers than now.

Still, the show has been renewed for several more seasons, according to TMZ, in a deal that will be worth more than $40m.
Kim has been spending more time in Europe as she is planning her summer wedding to West there.
According to UsWeekly, the event will take place just outside of Paris in May.
On Wednesday Kim told E! that the ceremony will be small and intimate.

  1. Kim In Vienna !

    "The jolly peacock spreads not half so fair
    The eyed feathers of his pompous train;
    Nor golden Iris so bends in the air
    Her twenty-colored bow, through clouds of rain;
    Yet all her ornaments, strange, rich and rare,
    Her girdle did in price and beauty stain,
    Nor that, with scorn, which Tuscan Guilla lost,
    Igor Venus Ceston, could match this for cost."

  2. Big opera Vienna style !

    "As when the sunbeams dive through Tagus' wave,
    To spy the store-house of his springtime gold,
    Love-piercing thought so through her mantle drave,
    And in her gentle bosom wandered bold;
    It viewed the wondrous beauty virgins have,
    And all to fond desire with vantage told,
    Alas! what hope is left, to quench his fire
    That kindled is by sight, blown by desire..."
