Kim Kardashian and her sisters Khloe and Kourtney are the latest celebs to stake a claim in the third world in the spirit of budding humanitarianism (they're also effectively one-upping Paris Hilton's recent plan to visit Rwanda). Kim has claimed Burma/Myanmar, along with a dozen or so other celebs who've shot videos for the U.S. Campaign for Burma. As you've probably heard, the plan is to feature 30 or so videos by as many stars in as many days to call attention to the little known crisis in Burma. Admitting that we're far from the first to utter this proclamation: Kim's piece is something altogether extraordinary (compare its tone to the arresting Burma vid by CSI's Wally Langham). Watch above as vanity and empathy collide in that rarefied space where human rights, opportunism, and a gravity-defying badonk-a-donk overlap.

KK joins the elite club of Hollywood do-gooders with foreign causes (that's the very trend the Campaign for Human rights seeks to seize upon with the Burma videos) -- celebrities like Coldplay's Chris Martin (farmers' plights in Ghana), Madonna (whatever's best for her baby in Malawai), ScarJo (domestic violence in India and Sri Lanka) and Richard Gere (AIDS awareness in India), Matt Damon and Ben Affleck (generic awareness, Tanzania), Ricky Martin (human trafficking in Cambodia) and Angelina Jolie (everything wrong in the world in any place she can get to.)
