Darn you, Kim Kardashian and Kanye West, for forcing us to actually deliver praise instead of mockery.

According to TMZ sources, the wealthy couple has told friends to not bother sending them any baby gifts.

Instead, they are encouraging donations to Lurie Children’s Hospital in Chicago, where West grew up.

That city, of course, is referenced by Ray J in the single “I Hit It First,” an anthem clearly based on the Kim Kardashian sex tape that – in a roundabout way – led to Kim and Kanye getting together.

So they should really be thanking Ray if you think about it.

The Kimye baby, meanwhile, is due in July.

 

UPDATE: Reps for the hospital have released the following statement:

“Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children’s Hospital of Chicago would like to extend its sincerest gratitude to Kim Kardashian and Kanye West for their thoughtfulness and support of the hospital.

“Funds donated on behalf of Kardashian and West will be directed to the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit Fund which will help care for the most critically ill babies and their families.

“We wish them all the best in the upcoming arrival of their baby.”
