Hollywood, California (The Adobo Chronicles) – The truth can finally be told. Kim Kardashian’s sensational and over-rated nude photo isn’t original.

Kardashian’s photograph showing her oiled posterior graced the cover of the latest issue of Paper magazine and it has gone viral even before the issue was scheduled to come out.

It turns out that Ellen Degeneres and wife Portia De Rossi did it first.

Each year, Ellen and Portia print personalized Christmas cards that their fans can send to friends and family, and they design their own greeting card cover.  This year, they chose a photograph of themselves in the nude, in exactly the same infamous Kardashian pose on the Paper magazine cover.

“We order our greeting cards from Shutterfly months in advance of the holidays which, this year, we did way back in June.  And we came up with this crazy idea one day to show our oiled enormous posteriors.  We had fun doing it,” Ellen told The Adobo Chronicles.

Shutterfly donates a portion of the cost of the greeting cards to two of Ellen’s favorite charities.
