Are you ready for more of tape star Kim Kardashian and Keeping Up with the Kardashians on your TV? Hopefully so, because Kim K and her family just signed a whopper of a new contract with E! It’s a deal that will ultimately net Kim, sisters Kourtney and Khloe, mom Kris Jenner and her hubby, Bruce Jenner, along with Kendall, Kylie and Rob, more than $40 million.
Yes, you read that correctly. $40 million. What is E! getting from Kim Kardashian for that ginormous sum of money? Not a scandal video. Not an exclusive peek into her world with boyfriend Kanye West. The network that started the Kardashian madness will get three more seasons of Kardashian programming, including Keeping Up with the Kardashians and Khloe and Lamar.
You can bet for that kind of cash, Kim Kardashian will be featured in all shows, prominently. Unreal, isn’t it? Thing about it, though: E! has made a small fortune from the Kardashian television shows, so it’s only fitting that the asking price for more went way up. The world, it seems, is still very, very interested in Kim K and her family.
But what if Kim Kardashian and Kanye West get their own breakout reality show? According to TMZ, they’d need to ink a totally different contract — and of course, for more money.
Wow. Just wow. We knew Kim K was popular, but this is amazing, isn’t it?
Kim Kardashian Takes Kanye to Meet the Parents: How Did It Go?
Things between Kim Kardashian and Kanye West might be getting a tad more serious. Why? Because Kim K. brought her new boyfriend to meet her family over the weekend! Yes, it’s true: Kanye hit up a Kardashian family gathering with Kim on Saturday. Apparently, everything went really well. Anyone surprised by that? Probably not. Kim’s family already knew Kanye well before he hooked up with her.
Reports say Kim Kardashian brought Kanye West together with her mom, Kris Jenner, and her stepdad, Bruce Jenner, during an outing in New York City. Of course, this was after Kanye and Kim hit up several shops in NYC together (these two never miss a good photo op), and of course the paparazzi documented their every move. They even stopped for ice cream!
Once everyone got together, things between Kim’s family and Kanye went great. TMZ quotes a source as saying that the meeting “went great” and that Kim Kardashian’s family thinks that she and Kanye “make the perfect couple.” Considering the mess that was Kim’s relationship and (short) marriage to Kris Humphries, how could they NOT be happy she’s seeing someone else?
What does the future hold for these two? Probably a lot, if they stay together. Both are super successful and they seem to really like each other. Maybe Kanye can help Kim out with her plans to become the mayor of Glendale, California? Yeah, maybe not.
Kim Kardashian and Sister Khloe Take Chicago By Storm!
Kim Kardashian and her younger sister, Khloe, are busy bees, promoting their new clothing line for Sears. On Thursday, the Kardashians flew to Chicago — and they definitely drew a lot of attention. Kim and Khloe Kardashian are appearing at the Sears store at the Woodfield Mall, where their new Kardashian Kollection of merchandise (including clothes, accessories and more) is sold.
For fans who live in the Windy City, this is a great chance to meet Kim K and Khloe in person. There’s only one catch: You have to be one of the first 200 people, and some crazy fans camped out overnight (in the freezing cold) to get the chance to meet the lovely Kardashian ladies. Boo!
One thing that’s worth noting here: Photos of Kim Kardashian leaving the Los Angeles airport (for Chicago) show she’s gone a bit too heavy on the self-tanner. Honestly, she looks orange! Anyone who’s ever used self-tanning products knows that it’s pretty easy to go overboard. Before you know it, you’re the color of a (rotting) fruit and the color just looks really fake. The idea, Kim K, is to go for a more natural look — and this is definitely not natural. The Birkin bag looks great, but with the orange skin, it’s way too Halloween.
Dear Kim: In the future, try to skip the extra coats of spray or self-tanner. If Kim wants a great, tan, look, why not jet off to some island with her new boyfriend, Kanye West? Goodness knows, they can both afford it!
Kim Kardashian Talks About Her Favorite Fashion Icon
Kim Kardashian is a lot of things: reality TV star, girlfriend of Kanye West, former scandal star — but she’s also a fashion forward woman. Kim and her sisters have managed to build an impressive fashion empire with their clothing and jewelry collections and with their super-successful DASH stores. Obviously if someone asked Kim K. about her favorite fashion looks, she’d likely say something Kardashian-designed, right? Sort of.
Kim Kardashian also admires other celebrities’ styles, naming Jennifer Lopez as someone who represents the best of the best when it comes to hot clothing. Surprised? Probably not. JLo’s flashy style is similar to Kim’s look, and the two women do share a similar build. Kim K. told US Weekly,
“I would love to raid so many celebrities’ closets, but I think Jennifer Lopez’s would be amazing.”
What woman wouldn’t want to play around in JLo’s closet, trying on all those over-the-top sexy outfits?
But Kim Kardashian also admires another fashion icon — the Queen of Pop music, Madonna. Kim K. says,
“I think Madonna’s closet would be amazing, just all the pieces she’s had for many years.”
Madonna likely has given some of her most famous outfits to museums, at this point, but Kim would likely be thrilled to pick through the leftovers!
It’s great that Kim has her own fashion idols for inspiration, but considering how well she’s doing with her own fashion lines, she might want to stay in her own closet. Each time she steps out, whether it’s at a Hollywood party or simply out to dinner with her new boyfriend, Kanye, she’s a walking advertisement for her clothes!
Kim Kardashian, Politician? Kim K Announces She Wants to Run for Mayor!
Sometimes, stories just write themselves: Such is the case with the latest news about Kim Kardashian. The reality star has apparently decided that she’s not content being just a celebrity and TV-show star. Kim Kardashian now wants to get into politics, by running for mayor of Glendale, California!
Is she serious? Apparently, yes. In an upcoming episode of “Khloe and Lamar,” Kim Kardashian is overheard telling her sister, Khloe, that she really wants to run for office. She even mentions that her friend, Noelle Keshishian, can run her campaign. There’s only one small problem: Kim points out that in order to run for mayor of Glendale, California, you actually have to live there.
Fortunately, in Kim K’s mind, at least, there’s a workaround. Kim explains to Khloe that, “For real, Noelle is going to head my campaign but it’s going to be like in five years. So I have to buy a house there, you have to have residency there.” Look out, Glendale, a Kardashian’s moving in!
Why Glendale? Kim Kardashian, who has Armenian roots, notes that Glendale, California, does have a fairly large Armenian population. Would they vote for her? Would anyone? Would you?
Of course, Kim has a long way to go before she can actually start her Glendale mayoral campaign. She does have to purchase a home there and establish residency, but you can bet the folks over at E! are already planning a brand new reality show. Stay tuned for “Keeping Up With Mayor Kim Kardashian!”
Kim Kardashian’s Sexiest Photo Yet? Kim K Poses in Black Lingerie for Photo Shoot
Kim Kardashian isn’t known for being shy about much of anything, particularly her famous body. Now, the reality star is taking things to a whole new level. On Thursday, Kim K tweeted an Instagram photo of herself, wearing extremely sexy black lingerie.
For fans of Kim Kardashian, this was a great day. Their favorite star decked out in skimpy lingerie? Yes, please! Kim actually does look gorgeous in the photo. Her hair looks stunning. If this is a new look for her, it’s working. She almost has a neat retro look going on in the photo. Britain’s Daily Mail notes that Kim “looks like a modern day Brigitte Bardot,” and it’s hard not to agree. While no one will ever be able to exactly duplicate Bardot’s signature look, Kim does come close with her big hair and her curvy figure.
Interestingly enough, Kim Kardashian talks a bit about her recent 10-pound weight loss, saying she dropped the weight in just 10 days! That isn’t easy to do, no matter what kind of diet you’re on, but Kim says she did it by not eating any foods with sugar, gluten or dairy in them.
Could Kim’s new sexy look be thanks to her new boyfriend, Kanye West? Whatever it is, she looks amazing!
Will Kim Kardashian’s Family Accept Her Relationship with Kanye West? Khloe Likes It!
After the relationship disaster that was Kris Humphries (and, for that matter, Ray-J, Reggie Bush, etc.), will Kim Kardashian’s super-close family accept her decision to date Kanye West? Given that Kim and her family are definitely tight, it seems pretty important that the Kardashians are on board with this budding love.
One of Kim Kardashian’s sisters, Khloe, is speaking out now about Kim and Kanye, and it’s all good news. In an interview with Ellen DeGeneres, Khloe Kardashian sounded off about the couple now dubbed “Kimye,” saying she thinks the name is adorable — but she thinks Kim and Kanye together are even cuter! Khloe says it’s great that Kim K is dating Kanye, adding, “I think they’re cute together.”
How much does it matter that Kim Kardashian has sister Khloe’s blessing? A lot. Khloe made no secret that she didn’t like Kris Humphries with Kim, and we all know how that turned out. So far, no word on how Kim’s mom, Kris Jenner, feels about her daughter dating Kanye, but it’s highly likely she’ll weigh in soon enough, too.
What’s next for Kim Kardashian and Kanye? Hopefully we’ll see them together in London, when he tours there with Jay-Z next month. Or perhaps we’ll get some more Kim K bikini photos, if they vacation together on some tropical island! Who knows, Kim might finally have her match.
