The Kardashian siege is upon us. It is unrelenting. It is kat-faced. It is epic. And it’s expensive too. And now the siege will be upon us for three more seasons, guaranteed. Yesterday, TMZ reported that the Family Kardashian has signed on to do three more “seasons” of their reality show(s). Their contract? Worth $40 million… but that’s parceled out amongst Kris and her employees/family:
The Kardashian family has just signed on for 3 more seasons with E!, and it’s the richest deal ever in reality TV … TMZ has learned.
Sources connected with the deal tell us, the family will get more than $40 million for 3 more seasons of “Keeping Up with the Kardashians.” The 6th season of the show averaged 3 million viewers. The 7th season begins airing May 20.
Our sources say the $40-plus million deal does not include product endorsements and other items associated with the show that Kim, Kris and the rest of the brood are able to hock.
Update: Sources connected to the deal tell TMZ … Kim, Kourtney, Khloe, Kris and Bruce will get the lion’s share of the money … and they are each getting equal pay.
We’re told Kendall, Kylie and Rob are on a lower pay grade — and will be paid equally as well.
Scott Disick and his son Mason have a separate deal. Ditto for Lamar … who hammered out a package deal to appear in both “Khloe and Lamar” and “Keeping Up with the Kardashians.”
We’re told the new deal ONLY includes existing shows — so if Kim and Kanye get a new spinoff show … they will have to bang out a new contract for even MORE money.

Dear God. Well, I’m not going to tear my hair out about this. What does a “season” consist of for the Kardashians? Like, three months? I feel like they’re always premiering new “seasons”. And it’s not on me – I don’t watch the shows! (OK, sometimes I watch a few minutes of a Khloe & Lamar episode here and there.) But the Kardashians wouldn’t be getting paid like this unless people were buying and watching.
By the way, I’m also including some photos of Meow, the 39-pound cat who is being internationally fat-shamed. I just figured… if we’re going to see photos of a cat-face with a huge ass, why not Meow rather than Kim Kardashian? I wish Meow had his own reality show. I would totally watch that. Get on it, Seacrest.

Ahh…But Kim doesn’t live in the “real” world. In Kardashian-Land anything goes and everything looks great on her. I bet she has custom-made mirrors that tell her this is true. Her stylists probably cut out the size tags from her clothing and replace them with smaller size tags. If she only knew how crazy she looked to those of us in the real world.

Poor Meow looks like he’s having none of it, being wedged into that carrier… I hope he loses some weight. There is something wrong with a society that pays that much money to useless, meaningless famewhores, and inner city school teachers make what – like $25k a year? It really pisses me off.

That’s probably 6.8 million each for Bruce, Kris, Kim, Kloë and Kourtney and 2 million each for Kendall, Kylie and Rob. I’m sure the first five fancy themselves worth over 3 x more than the others because that seems to be how that family rolls. It’s their pecking order of famewhore-a-bility.

I have two co-workers who watch the show religiously. One is a guy who admits he finds them repulsive but hilarious (plus he finds Kim hot), and the other is a woman who will go to her death defending that family because “they work SO hard!”
We’ve threatened to have them fired if this behaviour doesn’t change, but they seem to love the K’s more than their jobs.

Wonder if they put a stipulation in the contract about Kris and Kim krying a certain number of times. The ratings always increase when word gets out they attempted krying on an episode. Their 3.0 faces just don’t allow for it, water just comes from nowhere. It’s like a Ripley’s Believe it or Not moment.

Yes. Garth Fisher and the plastic surgeons of Beverly Hills are celebrating the renewal news at this very moment! They are counting the money already…
On another note, I heard from a friend’s husband, who is coincidentally a plastic surgeon in BH, that after Kris K. announced to the world that Dr. Fisher did her facelift before Kim’s wedding (and that he also “fixed” Bruce’s botched face lift), his price for face lift’s jumped from $30K to $100K. These people are ruining everything for everyone else on so many levels!

Everyone, including me, who has opened this article or any other article about Kardashians on any other site is contributing to their paycheck. It doesn’t matter that most of the comments are negative, that’s irrelevant. Some people watch them, some read about them, of course they’ll get pay to continue doing what they do.

Me reading the occasional Kartrashian article doesn’t contribute anything. Those who watch the show and give E ratings, plus those who actually buy their endorsed products are the ones ensuring these horrible people don’t go away.

40 million split between 8 people over 3 years…I honestly thought that’s what they were getting paid already. I’m shocked kim isn’t demanding more than the rest as she is the one who got the family famous. I bet the mom ends up with the most in her pocket, she gets paid to be on the show, she is an executive producer of the show, plus she is the manager of all of them, that’s 10% from each of them !

everything they do in front of the camera is free, do a facelift for the show, get it for free, go on vacation with the cameras, the vacation is free, eat at restaurants and E pays the bill…that’s why they do everything with the cameras rolling and allow cameras on their “family vacations”. When the cameras eventually stop rolling (and they will), this family won’t know what to do with themselves.

The best thing about television is that you can turn the channel and never return and thanks to E! insistence on showing everything K-trash I haven’t watched in years. And I won’t be back until the K-trash is gone. I suspect the next three years will mostly be about how and who the Jenner girls will be pimped out to, everyone is pretty sick of old lard ass anyway.

do you really think kim is going to let her younger sisters take away her limelight? She’ll do ANYTHING to stay the focus of attention, even if it means marrying and divorcing kanye in another huge wedding event. There’s nothing she won’t do. I can even see kim and kanye have a public break-up (scripted) just for publicity, or a fake pregnancy scare, the list is endless !

I’m confused. They haven’t even had a season of KUWTK since this whole divorce fiasco and being exposed for the lying, fake, money grubbers that they are. I believe they had a special for Kendall’s b-day that didn’t pull in the same numbers. Shouldn’t E wait to see if this season will have enough ratings before it signs a 3 year contract? Although I think besides all the hate they receive on the blogs, there are a lot of stupid people that will still tune in, but it still seems premature.

E must be stupid. The Kardashians are over. Everyone is over them. I can see some people watching MAYBE 1 more season but not 3. By season 3 they will have only a handful of viewers.
People hate Kim and Kanye. He will not bring viewers to the show. He is looked at as a villian and not a villian people want to watch. This was really stupid move on Kims part to hook up with a guy the public abhors.
Let me save you watching the show -they will air their fake relationship, they will get fake engaged, pretend to be having a baby then have a big blowout all fake for tv.

This is what I think will happen:
Kim and Kanye have fake engagement, then break up, then get back together because kim thinks she might be pregnant. Cameras follow her to a doctor’s office and she finds out she’s not pregnant. They break up again, and kim moves on to to another dude whose first name not only starts with a “k” but whose last name starts with one too !.
Khloe has her baby and lives normal.
Kourtney raises her 2 kids and isn’t actice much.
Rob still wishes he was born a female so that he too could have made millions taking his clothes off.
Kendal continues to model.
Kylie (the most rebellious one) ends up becoming a teenaged mother and gets her own spin off.

How hilarious! The kitty is much cuter. If Kim pulls her hair back a little tighter, her face might cave in. I have never and will never watch their shows or buy anything of theirs. Kourtney seems to be a somewhat grounded person, until you bring Scott into it. She can’t seeriously think he will ever stop drinking, partying, and cheating. If he hasn’t by now, he won’t. I feel so bad for Khloe and Lamar. They really love one another and would be happy if Kim & Kris left them completely alone. Everything they touch dies. My hope is Khloe escapes and Bruce takes his girls and run before Kris destroys them too. She is exploiting them in very inappropriate photo shoots all ready. They ought to be going to school, and all that comes with it – football games, dances, proms. Bruce grow a set and save your babies. I do so hope that Kris Humphries drags Kim through the mud and ruins that KarTrashian family for good. Then I won’t have to see or hear from them ever again!
