Khloe Kardashian wakes up South Bay with loud fireworks show for boyfriend James Harden

Blame it on the Kardashians.

A fireworks show from a barge off Marina del Rey startled South Bay residents with about 15 minutes of loud booms just after midnight today, keeping thousands of people awake and drawing the ire of a Los Angeles city councilman.

The pyrotechnics were commissioned by reality television star Khloe Kardashian, who has dropped former Los Angeles Laker husband Lamar Odom and threw a 26th birthday party aboard a yacht off Marina del Rey for her new beau, Houston Rockets superstar James Harden, the celebrity gossip website TMZ reported.

The loud booms that began at midnight could be heard along the coast all the way to Rancho Palos Verdes.

“It was enough to wake us up and certainly to concern me that something else crazy was going on,” said Rancho Palos Verdes resident Juan Rodriguez. “I did have a thought for a moment of calling the police.”

Los Angeles City Councilman Mike Bonin, who represents the Westside, was furious today. Bonin woke up in Mar Vista to an exploding Twitter account. Phones rang off the hook at his offices from residents wanting to know who allowed a Tuesday night fireworks show.

The city, he said, had nothing to do with it, and the party’s organizers claimed they had permits and that the U.S. Coast Guard provided its blessing.

Bonin said his office is looking into whether the Los Angeles County Fire Department “blessed this.”

“I heard from folks from all over the place,” Bonin said. “Folks were rousted from a good night’s sleep, school kids were crying in the night, dogs were barking, animals were going nuts. This was an unexpected, unanticipated, scary-as-hell, middle-of-the-night series of explosions.”

Asked if the county had issued a permit for the pyrotechnics, fire Inspector David Dantic said: “We are investigating it right now.”

U.S. Coast Guard Petty Officer Andrea Anderson said the party organizers did not have a permit. The Coast Guard was notified Tuesday about a request for a permit and examined whether the show would pose a hazard to other boats and people, she said.

Firefighters examined the boat for safety, and because the yacht was anchored in open water a mile outside the marina, Coast Guard officials did not require a permit for the party.

“They did meet the safety criteria,” Anderson said.

Had the boat been inside the marina, the county Department of Beaches and Harbors would not have issued a permit, spokeswoman Carol Baker said. No one approached the agency for a permit, she said.

“We don’t allow fireworks on our beaches. We don’t allow them in the harbor,” Baker said.

US Magazine reported that more than 200 guests attended the bash aboard the Fantasea yacht docked in Marina del Rey. Guests were instructed to wear white and were greeted with a glass of champagne as they arrived.

Guests included Khloe’s sister, Kim Kardashian, and her husband, rapper Kanye West; the rest of the Kardashian clan, including sister Kourtney Kardashian, half-sisters Kendall and Kylie Jenner, Kylie’s rapper boyfriend, Tyga, Khloe’s mother, Kris Jenner and her boyfriend, Corey Gamble. NBA players Trevor Ariza and Baron Davis were there as well.

Hermosa Beach resident, Ron Felsing, who wasn’t invited and was asleep at the time, said he awakened to the loud noises at midnight. He suspected problems at the nearby power plant in Redondo Beach.

“Almost sounded like someone moving furniture about in my home or something being pounded on,” he said. “I opened the north-facing back door. Could hear it — almost like a constant fireworks in the distance.”

Once word spread that the Kardashians played a role in the noise, the reaction was predictable.

“I think my reaction was, ‘Oh God, it’s the Kardashians,’” Bonin said. “I really don’t care who did this. I don’t care if it was a celebrity or a non-celebrity ... or the royal family. “They should not be allowing midnight fire shows near residential neighborhoods. It’s crazy, it’s stupid, it’s rude.”

Rodriguez agreed, saying the fireworks displayed a Kardashian attitude of “to heck with the public.”

“I just think this is once again an example of how little respect and how little they value everyone else around them,” Rodriguez said.

If people want to blame someone for the fame and selfishness of the Kardashian-Jenner mafia, they should look in the mirror.

Newton Minow was right !

"But when television is bad, nothing is worse. I invite you to sit down in front of your television set when your station goes on the air and stay there without a book, magazine, newspaper, profit and-loss sheet or rating book to distract you--and keep your eyes glued to that set until the station signs off. I can assure you that you will observe a vast wasteland".

No, because I don’t care if they’re famous or not. Their fame or lack thereof doesn’t bother me or otherwise affect me in any way.

Although I guess the people living near this fireworks show were annoyed. But even that doesn’t matter because non-famous stupid spoiled whores do shit like this too.

Cut her some slack. Strong women such as Khloe and Snooki and J-Woww are authentic American heroes and earned the right, literally and figuratively, to flout convention bend the rules call it what you will. Khloe graduated high school early with High Honors (as opposed to Low Honors) and along with her sisters appears on a reality television show and markets a line of fake tanning products. She is a success and role model in every sense of the word and should be commended rather than ostracized. I expect her to go far and do great things in life.

I spent two hours at a studio with Kourtney once. Never again. She and her siblings redefined the meaning of the phrase, "self-absorbed, vapid divas". It was excruciating.

Yes. Someone totally non-famous on my block was having an incredibly loud party at 10:30 PM on a weekday night and I was really annoyed. It wouldn't have been different if they had been famous.

Of the three of them, I like Kourtney the least. When she talks, she sounds brain-dead most of the time. And she supposedly has a college degree (doesn't say much for her school, it was one of the Arizonas)
And I only know of her from the show. Talking to her in person must have been brutal :(

(She is attractive, but that only goes so far).

She is attractive

Sure, with a centimeter thick of makeup and the right lighting.

The right amount of makeup and the right lighting can make men look like women, so I prefer the natural look.
