Kim Kardashian was caught eyeing the backside of some curvy competition in the round rear department. And THE SUN is there:

The shot was snapped at Wednesday night’s Knicks game, where Kimmy scored some primo seats with pal Britney Gastineau, aspiring model & daughter of ex-Jets defensive star Mark Gastineau. We haven’t seen this kind of courtside celebrity ogling since David Beckham was seen leering at a Lakers game.

To be fair to Kim & Britney, the Knicks Dancers were the only thing worth watching at Madison Square Garden that evening, as the Pistons pounded New York 113-86. Butt … er, but the gals did had some fun besides looking at dancers’ derrieres.

More pics of Kim & Britney’s big night out after the jump.

On your feet, Knicks fans! (No, don’t walk to the exits! The game hasn’t even started yet!)

Kimmy does makes a cute & curvaceous Cat In The Hat:

Kim & Britney still can’t figure out how the flash works. In the meantime, an overweight cap-wearing Kevin Bacon remains uninterested:

Alas, the thrill is soon gone - probably by the start of the 2nd quarter:

Hey - where’s Reggie Bush in all this? Guess even he’s smart enough not to want to watch a Knicks game.

(High-five & big chest bump to GOSSIP ON THIS for the pics.)
