While its rivals covered the solemn commemoration of the first plane striking the World Trade Center on Tuesday, NBC's "Today" show aired Kardashian family matriarch Kris Jenner talking about her breast augmentation. It was an embarrassing moment for the once-dominant morning show, now often beaten by ABC's "Good Morning America" in the ratings, and showed the continued delicacy of Sept. 11 memories for television. Even "Good Morning America," which had Jessica Simpson as a guest host in its second hour on Tuesday, cut away from its usual pop culture-oriented lineup late in its show to air ceremonies at 8:48 a.m. EDT, the exact moment 11 years ago when the first plane hit the World Trade Center/Huffington Post.

Question: I simply can't understand the fascination with the Kardashian, especially on 9/11. Can someone help me out with this?
