When the cameras are around, natch.

Ugh, I wish they would stop taking pictures of her and the rest of those fame-whores.

Yeah, other than the "Ew, musn't touch the dirty hobo" body language, she's a true philanthropist.

Remember when she adopted Shorty?

I've seen that guy in the wheelchair before. He's out there often. :/

She's probably paying him for sex. (I know, I'm going to hell for that and a lot more.)

I normally have really thick skin, but something about seeing homeless people and knowing that I realistically can't do much for them makes me incredibly sad.

Keep that money! Aren't you being sued?

@Scoregasm: Then definitely don't move to San Francisco. Or visit Estonia.

@NameGoesHere: he probably makes a killing. Ya'll ever seen some of those hidden camera things on the news where they show people begging for change and then at the end of the day they get in their car (i've seen one get in a cadillac) and go home? They can make mad cash.

That's one of the reasons why I don't give hobos money. If you're that bad off, lemme buy you a cheeseburger.

@frecklefacefreak: I can assure that those people are the exception.

That being said, I give people food more than money.

@Archetype: WORD. the tenderloin makes me sad.

@Beets.Go.On: Yeah, and it's too bad because there's lots of cool shit going on in that area.

That body language says it all.

Bet she was hoping her arms were longer.

Kim Kardashian tirelessly tedious.

best snap judgement title EVER.

@frecklefacefreak: i think that's a lie we better-off folk tell ourselves to assuage the guilt. you don't get that level of stankiness if you're "making a killing."

@Scoregasm: Or Santa Monica.

@Archetype: yeah, I know they are exceptions. I was just amazed at how much money they were able to make in a day. Usually over 500...some into the thousand range.

I felt real bad a month or so ago when this hobo teen asked me for my food as I was leaving a restaurant. I was pissed b/c no one actually asks for food, they all want $, but this kid wanted my food. But...it wasn't leftovers, it was my lunch that I got to-go and it cost me like 15 bucks. I felt soooo jerky saying no.

@frecklefacefreak: The only time I feel guilty is when I get scared. Which happens when they're obviously drug-addled.

There is the homeless guy in the city that my boyfriend grew up next to. He's harmless but batshit crazy. A few times when I've been over at the BF's parents house, he's come pounding on the front door. My boyfriend is really good about talking him down, as he's usually pretty riled up about spaceships, or all of the millions the bank has stolen from him.

anytime is a good time to see kim.

and unless i can tell a bum is really in need of money, i dont give them shit. most of them will waste it on alcohol and drugs

So I wonder how long she had to wait around between when she called the paps and when they showed up to photograph her giving him the money.

@Ptarmigan: How could we forget how they "adopted" Shorty? That spawned one of our "Men Who Look Like Old Lesbians" discussions.

Gosh, she reminds me of the Patron Saint of the Homeless, Tyra Banks.

She pretended to be homeless for a whole day, you guys. That is real beauty.

@Jose Reyes: How do you determine if a bum needs money, exactly? Bacause homeless usually = in need. Or are we talking about those asshole teenagers who hand outside of the mall and beg for change they'll use at Starbucks? HATE them.

@LoveNoelG: UGH. So, a big fraternity fundraiser at my college involved a group of boys pending one -- ONE! -- night under a bridge somewhere to raise money for Habitat for Humanity. And then my student newspaper would be forced to run a guest column written by these little assholes about their newfound "understanding of the homeless problem." Bleeeeech. One night outside is a camping trip, dudes.

OK, I give money and food to homeless people when I can, but looking at this picture, I'm just jealous of the weather.

Aw, she's giving him a dollar. How thoughtful and generous.

How about "Famous-for-her-bum gives to bum?"

Don't you mean she made a kontribution?

@jenndavo: holy crap that's terrible! what douches...

why do photographers even take her picture. who cares what she does?

@Beets.Go.On: I live in the Tenderloin :-(

@Ptarmigan: I had to stop watching that - so, so wrong.

It's the Paris Hilton school of charity.

Star-Trek Cardassians look more human than the se skanks.

@JWest282: I used to, but I was allergic to the pigeons, I kid you not. Besides the pigeons, I loved it. It just made me sad that there are so many people who I can't help. I could rant about the public mental health system, but I don't think this is the place.

@BAngieB: kontribution! funniest comment on here. kudos!

ass out lean...full arms length, bitch please.

OMG! He probably got hit by a bus or something, and she couldn't be standing any further away from him if there was a snake pit on Wilshire Blvd.......and there's an air of "don't fuck up my manicure from Barney's doll baby......this one's for the camera's...wink wink" oh yeah and Reggie Bush....holllaaaa
