Kim Kardashian was so 'desperate' to be famous back in 2006-2009, at the dawn of her E! reality show Keeping Up with the Kardashians, that she used to scam the paparazzi.
The 45-year-old billionaire confessed on her sister's podcast Khloé in Wonder Land last Wednesday: '[Fame] is all I wanted. I lived for it.'
Kardashian recalled the time her BFF Jonathan Cheban discovered which New York City hotel Britney Spears was staying at, and the pair caught a ride there in a Rolls-Royce Phantom thanks to a kind (and wealthy) stranger.
'We were like, "We'll sit in the back." So, it looks like we got out with a driver at this hotel. Paparazzi everywhere waiting for Britney at her hotel,' the Skims CCO/founding partner said.
'We got out and they were like, "Kim, Kim, Kim, are you here to visit Britney?" and Jonathan [mutters], "Keep your head down and just, like, shut up."'
Once inside, Kardashian and the 52-year-old influencer darted inside a phone booth in the lobby and remained there for 20 minutes because they 'didn't know anyone at this hotel.'

'We come out [of the hotel], and they're like: "Kim, how was Britney? Kim, how was Britney?"' the Calabasas socialite recalled.
'We took a cab, I think, because this Rolls-Royce dropped us off, but they weren't going to take pictures of us, like, getting in. So, we totally scammed the system. And it was like on every [magazine] cover. And we thought we were killing it.'
Kardashian is still friends with Cheban, whom she met 'by chance' at a birthday party in 2009, and he last appeared in the March 6 episode of The Kardashians.
In 2019, the All's Fair producer-star's third ex-husband Kanye 'Ye' West bestowed the Soviet-born foodie with the nickname Foodgod, which became his legal name.
On November 15, Kardashian revealed she and Khloe enjoyed a 'Calabasas night' in pajamas with the 44-year-old pop star and her manager Cade Hudson, during which they rolled around in a bed.
On Monday, Netflix announced that production had begun on Eva Longoria's ensemble comedy The Fifth Wheel, in which the half-Armenian beauty stars as a 'hot outsider' who crashes a Las Vegas weekend reunion for high school besties.
Kardashian's casting confirms she will not be retaking the State Bar of California exam on February 24-25.
The aspiring attorney - who believes the 1969 Moon landing was fake - discovered she failed the prior exam on November 7 due to not scoring the minimal 1,390 out of 2,000 points.
Kardashian always dreamed of following the footsteps of her late father Robert Kardashian, who was part of the late OJ Simpson's 'dream team' of defense attorneys at his 1995 murder trial.
