Kim Kardashian may have to be forever be reminded of the XXX sex tape she made with ex-boyfriend Ray-J, but the reality star can breathe at least one sigh of relief: there will be no KimKardashian.XXX.
Kardashian joins over 4,000 other celebrities, politicians and newsmakers in having their names permanently blocked from the new .XXX pornography Internet domain that started taking orders Wednesday.
ICM Registry has reserved 15,000 potentially offensive .XXX domains, including international city names, various dignitaries, heads of state and common terms for child pornography.

Stuart Lawley, the chief executive of ICM Registry, said that his company would have a laser-like focus on taking down any .XXX cybersquatters who are hoping to cash in on the traffic a site like MeganFox.xxx would bring in.
"There's a prohibition on anyone registering a first or last name that doesn't belong to them," he told the Guardian newspaper. "The reason we banned the celebrities' names was because it's very difficult for them to trademark their names. We didn't want to have the embarrassment of AngelinaJolie.xxx coming up at the launch of the new domain."
