Kim Kardashian wants to star in a sitcom.
The 31-year-old socialite recently had a cameo in a live episode of comedy show 30 Rock and now hopes to take her career in a new direction.
A source said: "She really wants to move beyond reality TV and be a comedy actress."
The Keeping Up with the Kardashians star - who is currently dating rapper Kanye West - is said to be inspired by Modern Family beauty Sofia Vergara.
The source added to The Sun newspaper: "Kim wants to be the next Sofia Vergara."
After her appearance on 30 Rock, Kim admitted she had had a great time on the show.
She tweeted: "Anyone see 30 Rock tonight??? I had a blast!!!! Love this show! (sic)"
And her good time came in spite of the fact Mad Men star Jon Hamm - who previously branded her a "f***ing idiot" - also made an appearance.
However, it is claimed the pair made their peace over the comments and even joked about their feud.
Kim is said to have told a friend: "We laughed it off. [Jon was] very sweet and very respectful."
