Kim Kardashian lost her passport while she was IN Africa. Now, I know that probably wasn’t the smartest thing Kim could have done when already abroad. Ooops. What did the customs officials make her do?

More pictures of Kim after the landing…

Luckily for Kim, boyfriend Reggie Bush was with her and stepped in to help. He’s one smart cookie! From People Magazine:

“They claimed they looked for it but I had a feeling they didn’t,” she says. “They called the embassy and said I would have had to sleep at the hotel airport.”

But Bush was able to persuade customs to allow him to look for the passport.

Reggie begged to go check for the passport himself … and he found it!” she says. “He saved the day!”

That’s a little bit scary, with officials saying they looked but might not have. Did they want to keep Kim around and get some autographs later? So – this is a lesson to everyone – keep your passports in clear sight at all times!
