PARTY TIME FOR PREGNANT KIM KARDASHIAN

Kim Kardashian didn’t just step out at the Elton John AIDS Foundation’s Oscar after-party in West Hollywood dressed to impress. She rocked her pregnancy bump like a glam accessory.

The reality TV starlet wore a white, cleavage-baring Donna Karan dress that showed off every curve without self-consciousness.

Kardashian and her sister Khloe, both without their respective loves, Kanye West, and Lamar Odom, chatted up party guest Chris Brown, who was at the party without his girlfriend, Rihanna.

Kim Kardashian added she was also looking forward to catching the show by the night’s featured performer, soulful Scottish singer Emeli Sande.

“I love her!” she exclaimed.

Asked how late she would stay up celebrating, given her pregnancy, Kardashian considered the question for a moment.

“I don’t know, hmmm,” she told The Associated Press.

Then she added, “I always end up going to bed early!”
