Kim Kardashian has apparently run out of creative ways to get her face (and body) in the news and has gone the more blatant route - by taking her clothes off.

The reality TV/sex tape star posted a photo of herself flaunting her fake-tanned curves in just a purple bikini on her Twitter page.

The snap was taken just before a photoshoot for weight loss product Quick Trim, which she endorses with sister Khloe. Wonder if she'll get a bonus for this extra bit of canny publicity?

Kim's previous 'look at me!' efforts involved her Tweeting photos of herself in a blonde wig, and made up as a vampire. Job done!

Better pale or tanned?
