Khloé Kardashian

"I would want to compete in gymnastics. Not because I know how to do any of it but because I am so infatuated with watching it. I have no idea how these people are that brave to be on the balance beam and do the things that they do and not fall. And when I watch it that's my fear. I'm like, ‘Someone's going to slip and fall,' and they never do."
