I have a pretty low tolerance for whatever “holistic” remedy is currently trending. I realize that might make me a pariah in general, but I’ve always believed that if you’re feeling rough, you should take an Advil, drink a glass of water and get a good night’s sleep. That’s my cure-all for most things. But I don’t have more money than God and too much time on my hands like many celebrities. That’s why I find Gwyneth Paltrow’s Goopy advice so annoying so often – it’s not just that she’s a snob, a smug elitist deigning to advise peasants on The Wisdom of Goop. It’s that more often than not, her advice is bullsh-t. She has too much money and too much time and she creates problems just to find convoluted solutions.

This cupping thing is a good example. Gwyneth was “cupping” years ago. And Jennifer Aniston revealed cupping marks last week at the premiere of Lifetime’s Call Me Crazy. To me, the idea of cupping seems about as wise as putting leeches on your body to suck out an illness. Go ahead and yell at me! I can take it. Anyway, Grazia (via The Mail) has a theory as to why Jennifer Aniston is “cupping”: to promote her fertility! Because at the age of 44, Jennifer has no use for “science” to help her conceive.

She hit headlines when she was spotted with cupping marks on her back at a film premiere earlier this month. But now it has been claimed the 44-year-old actress could be relying on the ancient Asian therapy in a bid to boost her fertility. According to reports, Jennifer has been looking at different natural ways to increase her chances of conceiving a baby with her fiancé Justin Theroux.

A source told Grazia magazine: ‘Jennifer has always said she wants to conceive naturally and is very open to exploring alternative therapies to help her.’

The source also revealed that Jennifer has been inspired by 46-year-old Halle Berry’s recent pregnancy announcement, adding: ‘It was Gwyneth Paltrow who told her how cupping can encourage fertility.’

And cupping expert Boniface Verney-Carron said that while cupping can’t help women who have a medical reason preventing them from conceiving, it can help those looking for a boost in heir bid to conceive.

She added to the publication: ‘The basic idea of cupping is to drag toxins out of the body and to bring fresh blood flow, which eases congestion, boosts circulation and reduces stress and tension. So it’s brilliant for treating infertility – in particular unexplained fertility. It can help women who are seemingly healthy, and their partners are healthy, but for some reason they’re still not getting pregnant. In the clinic, we often find these women are carrying stress or tension in a certain part of the body. Fertility cupping is usually part of a session involving acupuncture or osteopathic work to ease congestion and stress, which increases their chances of falling pregnant.’

Meanwhile, Dr Saud Hadi from the British Acupuncture Council said that the placing of Jennifer’s marks – either side of her spine – also suggest she is having the therapy to boost her fertility. Jennifer displayed the cupping marks on her back as she arrived at the Los Angeles screening of Call Me Crazy. It appeared Jennifer had hoped to disguise them with some foundation, but the too pale colour showed up under the paparazzi’s flashes.

[From The Mail]

The thing is, I actually believe that Jennifer probably did “cup” as a holistic way to rid her body of toxins and to get healthier, etc. She’s like Gwyneth Paltrow in that way – you could sell either of them anything if you labeled it “holistic” or “all-natural” or “exclusive”. Maybe Jennifer really did do it to promote her fertility too. But honestly, how long do we have to keep talking about Jennifer’s fertility? I thought we were nearing the end and then BAM! Halle Berry struck and now we’re going to have to do YEARS more Bump Watching on Jennifer. It just seems like… if Jennifer wanted a baby, she would have a baby. She would just do it, either by pregnancy or by adoption or surrogacy or whatever. She has the money and the time. That’s never been the issue. The issue is the inclination.

Meanwhile, The Mail is also reporting that JustJen’s wedding is being postponed, but they aren’t breaking up or anything. They just can’t agree on what kind of wedding they want to have and they’re too lazy to figure something out, I guess. A source says, “Jen and Justin have been totally relaxed about the wedding planning. They’re looking forward to the wedding, but they have different ideas about the actual wedding itself. It’s not to do with them as a couple, they’re madly in love. Every time you see them they’ve got their arms around each other. Jen wants something bigger with all their friends, Justin would just like something a bit more intimate. At this point, we’re expecting the wedding to be at the end of the summer, just before Labor Day Weekend.” Maybe they’re just waiting to see when Brangelina goes through with their wedding…? NO, of course not!

Poor Khloe Kardashian. Many of you have gotten on the #TeamKhloe bandwagon over the past few months (she really is the best of the Kardashian-Jenner lot), and many more felt a wave of sympathy for Khloe after her sister Kim announced her pregnancy. Poor Khloe has been trying to get pregnant for years, and I think she finally went to a fertility specialist last year, and the specialist told her that she wasn’t ovulating, and that was the trouble. Still, Khloe has options, and I have high hopes that she’ll be able to conceive very soon. Trust Life & Style to twist the fertility drama into something else though:

Now that X Factor is over, Khloé Kardashian is focusing her attention back on getting pregnant in 2013 and saving her marriage to her basketball-playing husband, Lamar Odom.

“She wants to have a baby in hopes of saving their marriage,” a friend reveals in this week’s Life & Style, on newsstands now. “It’s so clear Khloé and Lamar are having issues, even if Khloé doesn’t want to own up to it.”

As Life & Style previously reported, Lamar, 33, was without his wedding ring at LA’s Greystone Manor, where a petite blonde flirtily played with a chain around Lamar’s neck on Dec. 9. That came after he was spotted in the back alley of Oklahoma City’s Skkybar with two mystery brunettes on Nov. 21, and after an insider claims Lamar snuck two women into his hotel room at the Trump SoHo in NYC over Thanksgiving.

In a bid to win him over, Khloé’s desperate to start a family with Lamar. “If Khloé gave Lamar a baby now, she thinks it would really solidify them, it would create an everlasting bond,” a second friend confides to Life & Style. “A baby would cement them.”

Getting pregnant hasn’t been easy in the past for the couple. While she’s publicly struggled with infertility and submitting to in vitro fertilization treatments, she’s ready to step up her efforts.

“She knows that her odds right now aren’t good so she’ll definitely go back to the fertility specialist,” an insider tells Life & Style. “She will keep it more secret than before.”

[From Life & Style]

I don’t think “Lamar talking to girls in an alley” = cheating. But I have been getting weird vibes off Khloe and Lamar over the past year, and I do think that the honeymoon is over between these two. I think it’s mostly about Lamar’s career – he’s been flailing professionally, and that’s taken a big toll on their marriage. Now, is he fooling around? God, I hope not. And I hope that Khloe isn’t in the mindset of “I need to have a baby to fix my marriage!” Because… NO.

PS… She’s messing with her lips and her face, right?

I thought this was too depressing to discuss yesterday, but here I am discussing it this morning. Why? I don’t know. Bethenny Frankel’s life is an open book (sort of) and it seems like she has no issues with being upfront about everything in her life (sort of). Bethenny is currently promoting the third season of her Real Housewife spinoff, Bethenny Ever After, and she made an appearance on the Today show yesterday morning. She ended up discussing a recent health scare in which she accidentally burned a hole in her esophagus (seriously!) and she also discussed having a miscarriage when she was eight weeks pregnant.

Visit msnbc.com for breaking news, world news, and news about the economy

Regarding the miscarriage, Bethenny said, “Until you become a woman, you don’t know the things that come with it. The window is closing, and it’s something I’m dealing with.” When asked if she was trying for another baby, she said “I’m not really thinking about it. I have thought about other women more than myself… I can’t believe what people go through if they can’t even have the one. … You go through a roller coaster of emotions about it.” Bethenny also seems to be pretty open in discussing her sometimes-difficult marriage to Jason Hoppy – there have been continuous reports that they are on the verge of divorce, but it seems like they’re still sticking with it. My mother will be happy – she loves Bethenny. I don’t really get it, but I ended up watching a few episodes and I came away thinking that Jason seems like a nice guy. And is it rude to say that Jason seems like he puts up with a lot of crap from his drama-queen wife?

Can you believe how long Khloe Kardashian and Lamar Odom’s marriage has lasted? I have to admit, I’m kind of rooting for them, strip clubs or no strip clubs. Ever since Khloe and Lamar got married back in 2009 (!!), there have been so many rumors about Khloe and her womb. At this point, I think Khloe has been open enough about her struggles to conceive and we should just let her and Lamar do whatever they need to do in private. But of course, we’re talking about the Kardashians (even if Khloe isn’t technically a Kardashian), so the world is their gynecologist. As such, Radar reports that Khloe and Lamar are seeing fertility specialists in Dallas now – this comes after a report in December that Khloe was beginning in vitro treatments:

Khloe Kardashian hasn’t let her move to Dallas derail her plans to get pregnant, and the reality TV star is now interviewing fertility doctors in Texas, RadarOnline.com is exclusively reporting.

Khloe and hubby Lamar Odom have been trying to get pregnant for more than a year. She had been getting fertility treatments in Los Angeles, but when Lamar was abruptly traded from the Lakers to the Lone Star State, Khloe immediately began researching top fertility specialists in Dallas.

“Khloe has been meeting with fertility doctors in Dallas, and Lamar has been going with her to several appointments. It makes sense for her to have a fertility doctor in Dallas, as well as Los Angeles. Khloe very much wants to have a baby with Lamar, and their inability to get pregnant has had its rough moments, but this has only made their relationship stronger,” a source close to the situation tells us.

Cameras have been with Khloe and Lamar ever since their move to Dallas, and their struggle to get pregnant will be featured on their own E! reality spin-off show.

“Khloe wants to shine a light on this very sensitive subject. Khloe has received such a warm welcome in Dallas, and she thinks that the move may actually help her get pregnant. Khloe is constantly asked when she is getting pregnant, it just made sense to let viewers know what is really going on,” the friend says.

Lamar’s Dallas Mavericks played the Los Angeles Lakers at the Staples Center on Monday night, and his wife was in attendance, along with her momager, Kris Jenner and stepdad Bruce Jenner. (The Dallas Maverick’s lost the game.)

[From Radar]

Yeah, I don’t know what else to say about this. I wish Khloe and Lamar luck. I think they’ve been trying for a lot longer than a year, and I think Kris Jenner is a massive bitch for basically BLAMING Khloe for having fertility issues. I hope Dallas will be good for Khloe, and she’s probably secretly happy to be away from the Jenner-Kardashian mess in LA. Maybe 2012 will finally be Khloe’s year to get pregnant – and if not, it’s not the end of the world either.

UPDATE: Khloe tweeted this denial: “Because there seems to be much speculation, here is my statement… I am not at this time in my life considering any type of fertility treatments. If and when I do, I will shout it from the rooftops but for now its in Gods hands.” Do you believe her? Eh.

Poor Khloe Not-Kardashian. Not only is her alleged soap-opera paternity drama still openly discussed, but Khloe also has to deal with the humiliation of having Kim Kardashian for a sister. Kim sucks the life out of every conversation, and in case Kim doesn’t get to it, Kourtney will totally sit there and be tedious and boring too. Sidenote: Kim is morphing into Kourtney, right? That’s the product of all of Kim’s Botox and surgeries – she looks so much like Kourtney now. Anyway, back to Khloe. I like Khloe. I wish she wasn’t a Kardashian by name, that’s how much I like Khloe. She’s the smart one, the funny one, the one who doesn’t know how to dress for her body (scratch that – none of them know how to dress). And in the midst of Kim’s divorce drama and Kourtney’s baby drama, Khloe got her own tabloid cover this week. But it’s sad gossip, because the story is just about how Khloe can’t get pregnant. I feel for her.

Her sister Kourtney last week announced she is expecting her second baby with boyfriend Scott Disick. But although Khloe Kardashian has made no secret of her desire to start a family, there has been no baby joy so far in her two year marriage to basketball player Lamar Odom. And now, in a bid for that longed-for baby, Khloe has started preparing for in-vitro fertilisation treatment, according to magazine reports.

‘She is desperate for a baby with Lamar and will do whatever it takes,’ a friend of the couple tells Us Weekly magazine. ‘They have faith the IVF will work.’

Khloe, who looked ultra-glamorous as she stepped out in Los Angeles yesterday, is reported to have had several consultations about IVF treatment and is taking pre-natal vitamins. IVF costs around $10,000 to $15,000 per treatment.

A source close to the couple told the publication that Khloe and 32-year-old Lamar ‘have been trying everything to get pregnant but nothing works.’

And the news that Kourtney is expecting a brother or sister to son Mason, only highlighted the fact that Khloe is not yet pregnant herself.

‘She’s thrilled for Kourtney, but she’s really sensitive,’ another source said. ‘And it’s hard to see your sister get something you want so badly.’

The star is feeling under pressure to become pregnant. She told the magazine in the spring: ‘People keep saying “Why aren’t you pregnant yet?’ That’s what scares me, when people are like, “Did you go to the doctor? Do you know if everything’s working?” It’s nerve-racking. Sometimes I feel like I’m letting everyone down.’

The reality star is also stepmother to Lamar’s children from a previous relationship – 13-year-old Destiny and Lamar Jr, 10. Although the sports star’s children live in New York, Khloe has a good relationship with them and keeps in touch via Twitter.

She also ‘loves being an aunt’ to nephew Mason, two, and is often spotted carrying the youngster while filming the family’s many reality shows. The Kardashian and Jenner family have also lent their support to Khloe, with little sisters Kendall and Kylie also hoping for a niece of nephew.

‘They always say “You’ve got to have a baby. It’ll be so cute and tall, and we’ll babysit,” Khloe told Us. I’m like “You’ve got to get off my back.”‘

Even family matriarch Kris Jenner has had words of reassurance for her third daughter, despite once calling her daughters ‘stingy’ for not providing more grandchildren.

‘Maybe she thought I was having a bad day,’ Khloe recalled. ‘But she starts telling me that when she and Bruce first met, they were trying to have kids and it took her five years to get pregnant with Kendall. She was just like ‘With certain people, it just takes a minute.’

However, when or if Khloe and Lamar do have children, the star won’t be carrying on her mother’s tradition of names beginning with ‘K’. ‘I definitely want some L names,’ she admits.

A representative for Khloe Kardashian did not immediately respond when contacted by Mail Online for comment..

[From The Mail]

I wouldn’t be surprised if Khloe was doing in vitro already, or maybe even some kind of hormone treatment. She seems to have gained some weight over the past six months, and that could be one of the reasons. Not that it’s any of my business, I guess, but Khloe has always been so open in discussing everything… I just feel for her. I hope she’s able to conceive, because I do think she wants it so badly.

The final episode of the fourth season of Giuliana Rancic and her hapless husband Bill’s reality show aired last night. Now that I’m staying in the US I feel guilty for not watching every stupid show that’s out there, but I guess in this case I can skip it, having seen the show enough to get a decent read on their personalities. Giuliana is superficial and self obsessed while Bill is supportive and trying to do his best in his marriage. Admittedly I didn’t get as strong an impression of Bill, but he comes across as a decent guy. (You can watch clips on MyStyle.com)

The Daily Mail has details of the season closer, where Giuliana and Bill undergo a third round of IVF treatments, the first two being unsuccessful. They’ve been filmed during previous IVF treatments on their show, and have been open about the pain and disappointment they experienced from one unsuccessful treatment and an another that resulted in a miscarriage at eight weeks. After that they decided to take a year off from trying to conceive, having started the process in early 2009. Giuliana has been very defensive about the fact that she refused to follow her doctor’s orders to gain weight in order to increase her chances of conception. On this episode, she discussed her fear of undergoing another round of IVF after her time off, and recorded a video with Bill to their potential future child. It sounds kind of cheesy to me, especially when they call him/her a “beautiful embryo,” but I get the sentiment.

Ahead of the procedure Giuliana, 36, is seen clearly anxious and nearly backs out at the last minute, while the couple chat anxiously in the car park.

‘I’m nervous as hell,’ she tells Bill. ‘Is it too late to turn around?’

Giuliana, who once underwent a whopping 63 IVF shots a month, certainly has cause for concern.

The last time she underwent IVF she suffered extreme sickness.

But as she reveals her fears to her husband, Bill encourages his wife, reminding her that back then she was in bad shape, and this time around things are a lot better.

‘The last time we did this, at this stage, you were a lot more uncomfortable You couldn’t even walk and were in a lot of pain,’ he said.

‘Now you could run laps. We did it the right way.’

Confident that their third time will be a charm, the pair record a video message for their future child.

‘Future baby boy or girl: Today is the day we go in to conceive you,’ Giuliana says.

‘You are a follicle right now, and hopefully all will go well and you will become a beautiful embryo and then a baby.’
The couple’s second visit to the medical center comes after they were seen meeting with Dr Schoolcraft for the first time in last week’s episode.

There, they discussed the last failed round of IVF after Guiliana sadly suffered a miscarriage last year.

‘They told us they were A + eggs so we thought it was a no brainer,’ Bill tells the doctor.

However, the couple are offered renewed hope by Schoolcraft for another round of treatment.

‘Dr Schoolcraft is very optimistic about our chances which I think is a breath of fresh air,’ Bill said in the clip.

‘We haven’t had this much hope in a long time, so this is very, very nice,’ added Giulliana.

Bill even started to think about what could happen if the couple conceive.

‘I’d love to have twins,’ he told the doctor, who agrees that two babies is a definite possibility.

However Giuliana was keen to have even more babies.

‘Even if we have twins, we’re having more kids,’ she laughed. ‘We’re going to need a frequent IVF-er card.’

Back in July, Bill told Us Weekly magazine how they would be looking at ‘all options when it comes to children, whether it’s surrogacy or adoption.’

‘We’re going to keep trying ourselves, but if it doesn’t work out, there are so many other great alternatives. We’re open to everything,’ added Giuliana.

[From The Daily Mail]

You know that Giuliana was nervous about IVF because of the weight gain, not because of how it would make her feel. That may sound harsh, but read what this woman has said about her weight in the past. She’s obsessed with her body image to an unhealthy degree. She doesn’t seem to mind feeling hungry constantly, she’s just concerned with looking anything more than skeletal. I do hope that she’s able to get pregnant and carry a healthy baby to term, like her idols Rachel Zoe and Posh. Then we’ll be treated to baby photos and baby anecdotes and “how I lost the baby weight fast!” articles on her website. She’ll be one of those know-it-all moms who tells everyone else how to raise their kids, just wait.

I realize Octomom is old news and good riddance to that lying, conniving, plastic witch. Whenever I hear about her now I think of that disgusting spanking video she was in that TMZ posted. (Warning on this link, it’s technically SFW but will haunt your dreams.) I’m kind of surprised she hasn’t pulled more famewhore moves lately.

Anyway when this creature first hit the scene she insisted that she was implanted with six embryos and that two of them split or somehow grew into a couple of extra babies. Fertility experts asserted that this wasn’t possible or was at least highly unlikely. Suleman has denied all responsibility for having eight babies at once, and has said “how am I supposed to know more than one would grow?” It’s hard to keep up with her various lies, but her publicist quit last year and alleged that she had 11 embryos implanted in an attempt to get rich and famous. We know how well that worked out for her, the bitch is deep in debt and her house is in foreclosure.

The good news is that Suleman’s fertility doctor, who ignored that his client was crazy, unemployed and a single mom with six kids at home, has had his license revoked. We’ve previously heard that he implanted seven embryos in a 49 year-old, which is incredibly risky for all parties to say the least, and that he’s been sued six times. It turns out that he of course didn’t just implant six embryos in Suleman, he implanted 12!

California will yank the medical license of the Beverly Hills fertility doctor who implanted 12 embryos into “Octomom” Nadya Suleman three years ago.

Dr. Michael Kamrava will lose his license effective July 1, said the state Medical Board, in a decision more severe than an administrative law judge’s recommendation that Kamrava get probation for five years.

At a hearing last year, Kamrava apologized for implanting the embryos into Suleman instead of referring the 33-year-old unemployed single mother of six to a mental-health evaluation.

The board found that Kamrava “did not exercise sound judgment” in treating Suleman and two other patients – a 48-year-old who had complications after becoming pregnant with quadruplets and a 42-year-old who contracted ovarian cancer after fertility treatments.

The board found that Kamrava “committed gross negligence, repeated negligent acts, and incompetence.”

Kamrava’s attorneys had argued that Suleman could have terminated some of the fetuses, that the negative publicity surrounding the Octomom case is a sufficient deterrent, and that Kamrava had learned his lesson.

[From People]

At least this doctor has been exposed and discredited. Suleman will have to find someone else to give her more babies to add to her brood of 14, and don’t think that’s not coming. Last year when the news broke that Kamrava could potentially get his license revoked, she asked “What am I going to do if I ever want to go back?” She has never ruled out having more children.

I think this In Touch Weekly cover story crosses a line, but… I also kind of think that this is what Kate Middleton signed on for. It’s not like Kate is going to sue an American tabloid for reporting the rumor that she’s infertile. Plus, she should be able to prove everybody wrong soon enough. Anyway, the basic gist of ITW’s story is that CAMILLA has been telling everybody Kate’s fertility business. Which I could believe, because I have such a low opinion of Camilla. According to various sources, Camilla has been telling people that Kate has a history of health complications and she might not be able to conceive:

Kate’s new mother-in-law Camilla has been telling friends the royal bride has fertility problems which may prevent her from getting pregnant — according to sources. If the claims are true, the newlyweds are facing up to the fact that they may never produce an heir to the British throne!

“Health complications from Kate‘s adolescence raised red flags that may have an impact on her ability to conceive,” sources close to Camilla have told In In Touch Magazine.

The consequences would be devastating for the British monarchy. Both William, 28, and his father Prince Charles were born soon after their parents married, and the royal couple are under intense pressure to produce an heir soon.

Royal biographer Andrew Morton tells In Touch, “If Kate is not pregnant within the next nine months, she’ll be defying 200 years of British tradition.”

The last reining monarch to die without producing a legitimate heir was Will’s great-great-great-great-great uncle King William IV, more than 170 years ago!

If William does indeed die heir-less, the throne would defer to the eldest male child of his younger brother Harry.

Unlike most couples, adoption isn’t an option for William and Kate, 29 — only a biological child can be heir to the throne.

But sources tell In Touch the Duke and Duchess chose to ignore Kate’s medical problems for a marriage “based on love.”

[From HollyBaby]

Oh for the love of God. It’s way too soon for this kind of story. I can’t believe I’m defending my beloved Waity, but give the chica TIME. She’s on her honeymoon. Let’s see if William did his royal duty. If that doesn’t work out, there are many other options in fertility treatments. ITW should really take it down a notch.

By the way, regarding William and Kate’s honeymoon – Us Weekly reports this week that the whole cost of renting out all eleven villas on the North Island Resort in Seychelles has cost $720,000. For something like TEN days. Sources also claim that Will and Kate “participated in all the resort activities. They got involved in water sports with the best instructors in the world and even had golf carts and mountain bikes to explore the island on!” Sounds like a lot of work to avoid having honeymoon sex, right? No, I jest.

Meanwhile, regarding our new princess, the other Middleton, Pippa: Us Weekly also has a hilariously detailed story on how Pippa got her cute booty. The answer: Pilates. It didn’t take a whole article to say that!

Wow, Star Magazine got one right! A few weeks ago, Star Magazine claimed that Elizabeth Banks and her husband were expecting a baby via surrogate, and on Wednesday, Elizabeth announced the happy news. Their surrogate gave birth to a baby boy, which they named Felix Handelman (Elizabeth‘s husband is named Max Handelman). What’s particular refreshing in this case is Elizabeth’s almost too-honest and heartfelt public statement announcing the birth. It actually made me kind of emotional:

Her 30 Rock character Avery Jessup is a new mom – and it turns out Elizabeth Banks is as well. The actress and husband Max Handelman have welcomed son Felix via gestational surrogate, Banks Tweeted Wednesday.

“I have been very fortunate in life both professionally and personally,” Banks, 37, wrote on her Web site in a blog post announcing the birth.

“The one true hurdle I’ve faced in life is that I have a broken belly. After years of trying to get pregnant, exploring the range of fertility treatments, all unsuccessful, our journey led us to gestational surrogacy.”

“From that came two miracles,” she continues. “The first was meeting our carrier and her husband who were truly humbling in their decency and generosity. And the second miracle was the birth of our baby boy, Felix Handelman. Felix means ‘happy’ and ‘lucky’ in Latin. And true to his name, Felix is a very happy baby and a blessing on our life.”

Banks and Handelman – who met on her first day of college in 1992 – wed in July 2003.

[From People]

I love that she comes out and says something about infertility. It’s none of our business, of course, but many of us wonder, and I appreciate that Elizabeth puts it out there. I also love the respect and gratitude she publicly shows for her surrogate. I mean, that’s how you publicly thank someone for carrying your child (take note, Nicole). Also: I love that she’s been with the same guy since college. That’s awesome. Congratulations to Elizabeth, Max and Felix!

Sidenote: I pray that Felix inherited his mother’s truly extraordinary bitchface. I love Elizabeth Banks, and her face can go from beautiful to raging “Imma gonna shank someone” bitchface in two seconds flat.

US Weekly has an inset story on the cover this week with the title “Khloe Kardashian: Our Baby Struggle.” US does have a few quotes from Khloe inside, but she doesn’t exactly open up to them about it and is kind of dismissive about it. I think her struggle to get pregnant has been a lot of frustration and pain for her and Lamar, but it’s not like Khloe went on about it or admitted that it gets to her. All she said to US was “If it happens, it happens. It takes time, I guess, I don’t know.”

Hollybaby is saying that Khloe should get to a fertility specialist stat, but maybe she has already and just isn’t ready to talk about it. (Until a tabloid outlet ponies up the cash for a cover story exclusive.) We know Khloe and Lamar have been trying to get pregnant for well over a year, and it was in August that Khloe said just about the same thing she told US – she’s leaving it up to the powers that be whether she gets pregnant. Back then she said “It’s in God’s hands, and let it happen when it happens. I’m 26. It should happen naturally. I don’t want to force it. I would love to have a baby, and if I get pregnant, I get pregnant. I don’t think, like … my biological clock is ticking!”

Fertility doctors recommend that if you’re under 35 and have been trying to get pregnant for a year or more you should seek help. Khloe doesn’t seem as concerned about it as the press is though. She put it out there that she wants a baby and they’re going to ask her about it until it happens for her.

Meanwhile Kim says she’s in no hurry to get pregnant. Kim’s shelf life is limited and a baby would only slow her down.
