Kardashian? Never heard of them...

It's an Armenian name, that's all I can tell you
Cardassians? Yeah, I know them...

This is what I know about the Kardashians off the top of my head:
Robert Kardashian, who passed away this past decade, is probably best known for being one of the lawyers on O.J. Simpson's top notch defense team during his murder trial led by Johnnie Cochran. He and his wife Kris got divorced at some point (she later married former olympian Bruce Jenner). Robert and Kris Kardashian had at least 3 daughters together: Kim, Kourtney, and Khloe. The last few years, Bruce, Kris, Kim, Kourtney, Khloe and the rest of the family have had a reality show on E! called "Keeping up with the Kardashians." The three daughters are frequent fodder for gossip columns as they are part of the young Hollywood social scene. Their stepbrother Brody Jenner is also part of that mix and is a regular on the MTV reality series The Hills. Kim Kardashian got a lot of notoriety a few years ago when a sex tape surfaced with her and singer Ray J (who is Brandy's (Moesha's) younger brother. And now, Khloe is married to Lamar Odom, a member of the NBA champion LA Lakers. So in essence, the Kardashian sisters are basically famous for being famous--young, wealthy, beautiful.
