Given that the EU is stuck with it for the time being perhaps it's time to see if there are not some fringe benefits. Fed up hearing about every detail of some stupid celebrity's life? Apply to have every story about them disappear from the web! Alternatively if we try that for a few important, reasonably well-behaved politicians hoping to get re-elected I imagine we might see the laws changed rather quickly...
For the longest time I seriously just assumed it had something to do with Star Trek - until the increasingly strange-sounding headlines I randomly stumbled across threw that assumption out the door.
I could google it, but rather than doing that (as that'd be too easy), I'm going to guess: Aren't they those type of people who are famous just for being famous?
They are famous because of OJ Simpson murder trial (father was attorney) and Bruce Jenner (before Caitlin). The daughters were supposedly kind of "hot" or something, and then one of them married a Rap star (if you can call it that).
So, they are famous, mostly for being relatives of semi-famous and famous relatives.
You know I STILL don't know who they are. Athletes? Musicians? Rock stars? Actors? Artists?
People who are famous for being famous. Otherwise, not much of interest.
Actually, she's famous because some second-rate (yet oddly enough, squeaky clean) celebrity has a brother (who is even more of an off-brand celebrity) who performed various 'acts' with Kim Kardashian on tape. And then *somehow* that tape got leaked to the world.
So really she's about the most successful crossover porn star. =/
I've heard it stated that they're mostly famous for being famous [wikipedia.org]. They serve mostly as something for CNN to talk about when they're not talking about the Malaysia Airlines flight.
But how is this going to make Google forget anything? It's so easy to use a proxy to get out of Europe and search Google from the US. It's just a Chinese Fire Drill.

No one of importance.
This video about Phil Fish [youtube.com] explains the concept of being famous for nothing of substance.

Kim Kardashian is famous because she has a giant ass, which some guys apparently find attractive.
I don't find her ass attractive in the least, I think it's gross and misshapen.
