Ah, Kourtney Kardashian. The other one. The one that reminds me of a former roommate who settled for a bad dude and then acted like he was the only dong ever. I’ll never understand. Anyway, Kourtney is knocked up again, and she and Scott Disick are trying to get some attention. Thus, they made the cover of Life & Style with a dumb story about how Kourtney is finally going to leave Scott now that she’s pregnant again. Here’s a spoiler: she’s not going to leave him. Oh, but Kourtney might be having a girl this time? That’s exciting, I guess. A little girl who is half Kardashian and half Disick… that’s a scary prospect. I’m never scared by the Kardashian-Disick combo in little Mason-Dixon, just because I’m still not convinced that Mason is Scott’s biological son. And I still can’t believe that story didn’t get more traction! Anyhoodle, here’s Life & Style’s report about Kourtney having a girl:

The Kardashians will be making room for another girl in their tight-knit clan! A friend of Kourtney Kardashian’s confirms exclusively to Life & Style that the 32-year-old brunette is set to welcome a daughter.

Kourtney and her boyfriend, Scott Disick, are already parents to a son, Mason, born in December 2009. On November 30, Kourtney announced they’d be expecting their second child.

“Kourtney was hoping for a girl,” the friend confesses in the new issue of Life & Style, on newsstands now. “She loves having a boy but thinks having a girl would be perfect so she can dress her up and show her the ropes in life.”

And although it’s been a trying time for Kourtney and Scott, their happiness over having a daughter is something they can agree on.

“A girl would be a fantastic addition to our family,” he’s told Life & Style. “It feels amazing,” Kourtney’s told Life & Style about being a mom. “It’s just so indescribable. You don’t get how good being a parent feels until it happens to you.”

While the friend spills about Kourtney’s baby girl joy, a rep for the star says: “Kourtney and Scott do not know yet what they are having.”

But as I said, all is not well in Kardashian-Disick-ville. Kourtney hasn’t had sex with Scott since she got pregnant (gross) and Scott is out clubbing all of the time:

Kourtney Kardashian has more than just her second pregnancy to worry about. The reality star is dealing with her crumbling relationship with Scott Disick! The Kourtney & Kim Take New York star also has her hands full with her two-year-old son Mason, but Scott is running around partying like a single bachelor, according to Life & Style!

“Scott drank cocktails and watched as girls flung themselves over the velvet ropes,” a source tells the magazine. “It’s clear girls are interested in him. He was overheard talking about taking a lap around the club to scope out female revelers.”

But when Scott’s not partying in Sin City, he heads back to his hometown of NYC and shacks up in his Big Apple bachelor pad.

“When Scott wants to get away he escapes to his own little bachelor pad on the Upper East Side,” the source continues. “He’s had it forever and doesn’t plan to get rid of it. It’s definitely not suitable for family living, though — it’s a tiny apartment.”

Although Kourtney is pregnant with her second child, the 32-year-old mommy reportedly hasn’t slept with Scott since she got pregnant four months ago!

“Scott says that as soon as Kourtney got pregnant, she stopped having sex with him,” another insider reveals. “He jokes that it’s like he’s a stallion and she just uses him to get pregnant. He laughs about it, but you can tell that he’s starting to get really bummed.”

Kourtney’s sisters and mom Kris Jenner know how upset she is so they are doing what they can to cut Scott out of the family.

“Kris and the family are inking long-term deals for everything from clothing lines to skin care products, but Scott’s cut out of it all,” the source says. “He gets none of it. They just want him to find a job, any job.”

[From Hollywood Life]

I thought Kris managed Scott’s career too? Isn’t that right? So by cutting Scott out of deals (allegedly), Kris is cutting herself out of Scott’s potential earnings too. Which means that the story is BS. There’s no way Kris would refuse to make money off of her kids and their partners.

Now, all of that being said, I was recently talking to someone who watched the last season of the Kardashian show, and they claimed that Scott has really “changed” and become a decent guy. Is that true? Or is it just better editing?

US Weekly is reporting that the oldest three Kardashian daughters, Kim, Khloe and Kourtney, are going to become actual Mattel figures and “friends” of Barbie. Of all the women they could have picked to befriend Barbie, what do the Kardashians have to offer? What are they going to do with Barbie, shop? Kim suggested as much.

Barbie, the ultimate career gal who loves to dress up, is teaming up with three new likeminded friends: Kim, Kourtney and Khloe Kardashian!

A source tells the new Us Weekly, on stands Friday, that the reality stars will be immortalized as Barbie’s pals in an upcoming limited-edition doll line. “The dolls will reflect the girls’ measurements and may even comes in Kardashian-designed outfits,” says a source.

Kim, 31, appears to already have struck up a friendship with the world’s most famous doll. “Merry Christmas Barbs!” she tweeted on Christmas. “I’m sure we’ll be seeing lots of each other [in 2012]. Shopping soon!”

[From US Weekly]

Would you let your little girls play with Kardashian Barbies? Maybe if they had no clue who the Kardashians were and weren’t old enough to ask about them. In a way it’s a good idea to give Barbie some friends that have larger, arguably healthier features, even if they’re just as plastic and fake as the dolls themselves. You know they’re going to give Kim’s doll a big ass.

A lot of people on US’ site are decrying the use of the Kardashians as Mattel dolls and say that more worthy women should have been chosen. I googled “Celebrity Barbies” to see who they’ve featured in the past, and there’s an actual LeAnn Rimes Barbie that’s still available for sale for $19.95 on Amazon. She’s just about on par with the Kardashians, except that she can sing along with famewhore. Other celebrity Barbies include Hilary Duff, Diana Ross, Shakira, Cher, Clark Gable, Elizabeth Taylor and Beyonce. (Here’s a good slideshow of celebrity Barbies.) So while some of the celebrity Barbies are classic Hollywood legends, others aren’t as worthy.

In related Kardashian news, In Touch is reporting this week that Kim personally set up her friend Carla DiBello with a then very married Kobe Bryant. We previously heard that Bryant’s affair with DiBello was more recent and may have been the straw that prompted his wife to finally file for divorce. According to In Touch, [via Jezebel] “Carla was at Kim’s wedding, dripping with diamonds and bragging, ‘My boyfriend Kobe Bryant bought [the gems] for me.‘” What’s more offensive, the length of Kim’s marriage or the fact that she set up her bestie with a married man?

Kim and Khloe are shown at a Phoenix Suns Dallas Mavericks game in Texas on 1-4-12. Look at how bored Kim is when the camera isn’t on her. They’re also shown with Kourtney on 12-15-11. Credit: WENN.com

Our friends at Evil Beet posted this clip from an upcoming episode of Punk’d. It was so hilarious that I had to post it here. The premise is that Khloe Kardashian and Kelly Osbourne were hanging out at Miley Cyrus’ house when they decided to order food. Miley and Kelly were in on the prank, which was aimed squarely at Khloe. The “delivery guy” went to use the bathroom after handing over the food and then came out screaming that he’d caught his testicle in his zipper. It was a scene straight out of Something About Mary but Khloe believed it was real. She called 911 and calmly followed the “paramedic’s” orders, telling the screaming delivery guy what to do. I’ll let Sarah at Evil Beet describe the scene:

The delivery guy emerges from the loo, where he’s zippered his balls into his pants, and hilarity ensues. There’s a lot of discomfiting man-screaming and shots of Miley Cyrus unsuccessfully covering her laughing face, but Khloe’s the real star of the clip, guys: she’s calm, cool and collected, calls the paramedics and barks medical orders like she’s on ER. Or, at the very least, Scrubs.

If there was ever any doubt about Khloe Kardashian being the one and only GOOD Kardashian, this video clip should wash away any misconceptions that you might have. I know she doesn’t have the massive, super-extensive experience that her sister Kim has with viewing scrotums in distress, and she doesn’t have the dead eyes and unflappable, almost Neanderthal-like demeanor that epitomizes cold-fish Kourtney, but dadgum it, Khloe Kardashian is the hero of the day this time around, and thank God for it, huh?

[From Evil Beet]

This may sound weird, but I’m really wondering about the logistics of this prank. Did the dude put a prosthetic ball in his zipper or did he somehow manipulate his own ball to make hang out and look trapped there? How did they make sure that Khloe really didn’t call 911? Did Miley call the number for her and then hand her the phone while she talked to another guy? I just wonder how they pulled this off. I also agree with Evil Beet, this makes Khloe look level-headed and normal, at least within the context of the family that she comes from. She took charge and tried to manage the situation and she didn’t freak out one bit.

Well, it looks like the Kardashians are getting a heap of tabloid drama for the holidays. Kim just finished having a hissy fit over this week’s National Enquirer report that she was disrespectful and nasty to poor people in Haiti, and now Radar has released this week’s Star Magazine cover, which I’m sure will cause even more famewhore dramz. Star claims that the Kardashians are using sweatshops to make their various Kardashian products, and now a human rights group is basically calling out the Kardashians for using “slave labor.”

In a stunning world exclusive exposé Star magazine is reporting that the Kardashian family are endorsing and selling fashion products manufactured in foreign sweatshops, where workers, some as young as sixteen years old, are abused and virtually imprisoned.

A prestigious human-rights watchdog organization has launched an investigation into America’s top TV family, with officials imploring the Kardashians not to profit from what amounts to “slave labor.”

“The Kardashians are in bed with some pretty bad people,” Charles Kernaghan, the executive director of the Institute for Global Labour and Human Rights, tells Star. “Not only are celebrities like the Kardashians taking advantage of these workers, they are holding hands with a government that spits on democracy and women’s rights.”

While the Kardashians are involved with many fine consumer products in the fashion, beauty, fragrance, health and lifestyle industries that are not part of this investigation, there are several brands that are coming under fire. Items in the family’s high-end K-Dash by Kardashian label and the Kris Jenner Kollection — sold on the home-shopping television network QVC — and ShoeDazzle, a company that Kim cofounded and endorses, are all manufactured in areas of China where government regulations are often ignored and workers are subject to inhumane conditions.

Li Qiang, the executive director of China Labor Watch, says that the reality stars are turning a blind eye to human rights abuses, for the sake of their bottom line. “People like the Kardashians are producing their products in China because they will get more profit, since the labor cost is so low compared to the United States and other countries,” he tells Star exclusively.

The sweatshop workers live in squalid factory-run dormitories filled with the stench of sewage while toiling up to 84 hours during seven-day work weeks to produce some of the goods that helped Kourtney, 32, Kim, 31, Khloé, 27, mom Kris, 56, and the rest of their family earn $65 million last year.

Shockingly, the impoverished workers earn just a paltry $1 an hour, slaving away in factories in the Guangdong region of China, which Kernaghan describes as being “like minimum-security prisons.”

The region is a “scary place,” Kernaghan continues, where the peak summer season is “brutal,” with temperatures inside non-air-conditioned factories soaring to over 100˚F. Workers in the region can come out with as little as $15 a month once rent and food debts have been paid to their bosses.

“You can’t talk during working hours,” Kernaghan adds. “You can’t listen to music; you can’t stand up and stretch. You can’t even put your head up and look around, or you will be screamed at. If you get permission to use the toilet, you get four minutes. If you’re highly specialized, you cannot even go to the bathroom.”

Star has learned that human-rights groups have dispatched their undercover investigators to a number of factories that have been linked to the Kardashians. And, Kernaghan says, it is time for the world and the Kardashians to take some responsibility. “Kim has been very fortunate, but it’s time for her and her family to treat these workers with respect,” he tells Star.

“Kim, for example, could say, ‘It ain’t going to be all about me, me and me.’ She could do something and not leave behind a broken mess of women and children. If she took a stand and said, ‘I want to manufacture my products in Chicago or Los Angeles, where I can ensure people humane conditions,’ she would be taking the right stand.”

For the full shocking story on conditions within the sweatshops, and to read how Carmen Electra and Mel B are also coming under fire, pick up the new issue of Star magazine — on newsstands Thursday.

Once again, I’m not going to defend the Kardashians, but I doubt that the Kardashian brand is the only company to use Chinese sweatshop labor. That doesn’t make it right, and of course, the Kardashians should know better and they should rectify the situation and demand that production should be moved to a country with stronger labor laws. But child labor is an enormous problem in China, in India, and in many developing countries. The exploitation is widespread and it will continue unabated without movement from governments, international businesses and watchdog groups. It’s a tragedy that poor Chinese children are being exploited so that people can buy Kardashian Krap, just as it’s a tragedy that so much of what Wal-Mart sells comes from countries with equally horrendous human rights records. I’m just saying – the issue is a lot bigger than the plague of Armenian ass implants. But yes, the Kardashians should manufacture in America. Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen have made American manufacturing a priority for their lines – why not the Kardashians?

The Kardashians just released their 2011 Christmas (Khristmas) card, and woo doggy, is it epic. Although… remember last year’s Kardashian Christmas card? Last year’s was done in the “corpsey drag queen” vibe with more slate-grey and a touch of pink and orange (orange from the skin color). This year’s card is all blues and blacks. Still corpsey. Still drag queen-y. Still Photoshopped to within an inch of their cat-faced lives. It’s like they were photographed through a mist, the “famewhore haze” if you will. You know what struck me, though? How much time and planning and coordination this must have taken. Seriously! Think about it. These people have WAY too much time on their hands. Anyway, Kim even included some close-ups on her Celebuzz page (she also included the 3D image too, for the love of God), which I will caption, just for the hell of it.

Kim: “This pole was where Kris Humphries was supposed to stand. The pole is a better conversationalist, honestly.”

Bruce: “Wait, what are we doing? Ah, Blue Steel into the famewhore mist. Right.”
Kris: “Dina Lohan, eat your heart out, bitch.”

Kourtney: “Do you think anyone would notice if I farted?”
Scott: “If you fart, I’ll stab you in the heart and cut you into little pieces and feed you to your mother.”
Kourtney: “Ah, Tuesday.”
Mason-Dixon: “Mommy, why am I dressed like Al Capone?”

When you read a lot of blogs written by men, you come away with certain ideas of what the “average dude” find attractive, and it’s not always the most body-image-affirming message. Take the Kardashians, for instance, and how dudes discuss the various sisters. Kim is constantly criticized for her gigantic (implant-filled?) ass, and Khloe is constantly mocked for being a big, tall girl, while Kourtney is always praised as the “prettiest” or “hottest” Kardashian girl. I’ll never understand that, because Kourtney and Kim seem to be in a race as to “Who Can Jack Their Face The Most By The Age Of 40”. Kim used to be such a pretty girl, and she’s just destroyed it by Botox, lip injections, fillers, likely surgery, and the cherry on top, too-excessive grooming and drag queen makeup. Kourtney has been hittin’ the ‘Tox too, and her face has gone through a rather harsh metamorphosis over the past few years. Which leaves Khloe… I don’t think Khloe hit’s the ‘Tox, and I think she has a really cute face. Why do dudes hate her so much?

Anyway, these are new photos of the Kardashians promoting something whatever, who cares? Let’s see… they were at the opening of “Kardashian Khaos” at the Mirage in Las Vegas. Don’t make me look up what that is. In my mind, it’s a theme park in which everyone pays to put on a prosthetic ass and then they get boned by Ray-J. Because, really, what else does Ray-J have going on? Of course he’d work at the Kardashian theme park in Las Vegas.

Other stories – Radar claims that Kris Humphries has been bad-mouthing Kim to his friends, which is pretty boring. Allegedly, Kris has been telling people “Kim’s reality shows are a total sham. He doesn’t think there is anything real about the shows at all. Kris thinks that Khloe is truly the only authentic one among the Kardashian sisters. Even though they didn’t get along, at all, he respects that Khloe does what she wants. If Kim and Kris had stayed together, and he had gotten traded to Dallas, like Lamar did, he knows Kim wouldn’t have moved with him like Khloe is doing.” He also todl friends a story about how Kim faked a “lost earring” and gave an Oscar-worthy performance for the cameras. Blah.

And the final story of the day – Kim spoke to various media outlets while in Vegas, and she stayed on point. When asked if she still wanted to be married one day, she said, “Absolutely. I believe in love, always.” About what she’s learned: “I’m really thinking that 2011 was a lot of learning lessons… in2012, I’m just excited for the New Year and the new me.” When asked if she already had a new man, she said, “I’m not looking.” So f–king boring.

I know we’ve already covered Kourtney Kardashian’s pregnancy announcement, but now that I’ve read her US Weekly cover story I wanted to report on some of the truly stupid things she said. Also, we didn’t mention that Kourtney sold her pregnancy announcement to US. A reporter for the Hollywood Reporter was on Entertainment Tonight last night and he estimated that Kourtney banked around $100k or more for that story. ET also acknowledged the Kardashians’ sick amount of media saturation and the fact that the public is burning out on them on one hand, but still paying attention to them on the other. It’s like even the most mainstream outlets realize what a joke this family is. (You can watch that segment today on ET’s website, it’s in the beginning of the full episode video.)

My favorite anecdote from Kourtney in US is about how she dipped a pregnancy test in the toilet to absorb her first morning urine because the first test she used on that pee didn’t work! Holy face palm. She has no clue that her pee would be much less diluted if she just drank some water and tried again. Kourtney also addressed the issue of how she got pregnant when she doesn’t share a bed with Scott, the presumed father of her first child.

So take us to the moment when you found out
I was four weeks along… I took a home test because my period hadn’t come. I had the tests from last year when I thought I might be pregnant… I took one and it didn’t work. It was broken! They always say your first morning pee is the good stuff, and so I took it and of course it didn’t work. I was, like, ugh! So I took another one and stuck it into the toilet! I was like, I don’t even know if that works!

Were E! cameras filming?
We actually were not filming that exact moment. I ran and told Scott, but I wasn’t sure because I had just dipped it into the toilet, so then we had to wait until a little later in the day [to do another test].

[From US Weekly, print edition, December 12, 2011]

So did the second test work or not? She’s so cagey the way she explains it that you can’t tell if that second test was positive. Here’s more from the interview:

Was [Khloe] at all conflicted about your news?
No, she was really really happy for me.

It’s clear on the show you and Scott slept in different beds. We have to ask: how did this happen?
That’s what Khloe asked! She was like, “But I thought you guys didn’t even have sex.” I was like “Just because we sleep in different rooms doesn’t mean we don’t do it.”

Mason’s birth, where you literally pulled him out of yourself, is legendary. Will you film this one?
The last one we actually filmed ourselves. And then we decided to share it because it was such an amazing experience. This time I think we’ll just film it for ourselves and see what happens.

Scott: We felt it was only fair to share that with the viewers who were attached to the ride that we’d been on having him.

Admit it, Scott, you’ve wanted to get married.
Scott: There have been times where I wanted to get married more than she did, and maybe there were even times when she wanted to get married more than I did. But at this point, I just don’t think it really changes anything. We have what we need, so that’s enough.

So Kourtney, no big wedding special like Kim’s?
I think we’re happy and it’s working how it is.

I don’t pay enough attention to this family to realize that they filmed Mason’s birth and aired it. (Daniel Craig knows more about them than I do.) They did though, you can watch it here. They show Kourtney’s labor in the hospital and at around 3:40 they show Kourtney giving birth and holding Mason right after he was born. (They film it from the side so it’s suitable for television.)

So I guess I know what Kourtney and Scott mean when they say they’ll film the birth of this second child and will “see what happens.” They’ll see how much money they can get for it, because every single thing in their lives is for sale. At least they’re not getting married yet, or more likely they’re just holding out for the best offer. ET Online reports that their wedding is “imminent,” so maybe they’re totally lying here when they say they’re not getting married so that they can sell the engagement news too.

For those of you hoping that Kourtney Kardashian would eventually ditch the jerk she claims is her first baby’s daddy (although this guy is the more likely candidate), or for those of you rooting for the inevitable downfall of the Kardashians that is way too long in coming, this will not come as welcome news. Kourtney Kardashian is pregnant with her second baby, presumably by her live-in lover, Scott Disick. E! has this news, which will undoubtedly bolster the brand of a reality franchise which is currently the sh*tter despite high ratings. Kourtney’s eventual second baby will join his or her older (half) brother, Mason, who turns two in two weeks.

Kourtney Kardashian and Scott Disick are expecting their second child together.

In an exclusive statement to E! News, Kourtney says, “Scott and I are so excited to announce that we are expecting our second child and are thrilled to be expanding the love in our family.” Kourt first confirmed the happy news to Us Weekly.

And what perfect timing! The eldest Kardashian sister just started her web series, Kourtney’s Mommy Blog, on E! Online, where she dishes on what she’s learned raising Mason, shares her kid tips, parenting philosophy and A-list know-how, starting with fashion.

[From E! Online]

Kourtney has a new “Mommy vlog” on E! in which she shows off Mason’s closet and all his shoes. She says that she likes dressing him more than she likes dressing herself, and that it’s “all about layering” and “all about shoes” and accessories. The kid is two freaking years old. She also puts down how other mothers dress their kids. “I see so many little boys and their outfits are so cute and their moms put kind of dorky shoes on them and I think it’s all about the shoes.” My kid is very picky about his shoes and will try on ten pairs before he settles on one that is comfortable for him. He will then want to wear those shoes every day and won’t wear any other pair. It’s not a priority for me to make sure my child looks fashionable, he has to be comfortable first. He also prefers shoes that light up and have velcro, which Kourtney would surely consider “dorky.” Does she look at families without the means to buy their children over a dozen shoes they’ll quickly grow out of and think “it’s all about the shoes, that kid looks dorky?” This family is ridiculous. They’re wasting wealth on crap and will be struggling to hold on to the designer goods they hold dear once their fame fades. Also, look at Scott in those mismatched stripes. He would benefit from getting dressed by Kourtney too.

Anyway congratulations to Kourtney and Scott. I forsee another obscenely wasteful over-the-top wedding for this family.

Kim, Khloe and Kourtney Kardashian cover the January issue of Glamour Magazine – these are some shots from the cover shoot. They made Kim look less cat-like and they made Khloe look like a shaved wildebeest. And I’m not saying that to be harsh to Khloe – she’s my favorite, after all – but stylists should know by now that Khloe needs to be styled in a completely different way than her sisters. Anyway, the interview excerpts are predictably absurd. Kim dominates the conversation, playing the hyper-drama queen/victim:

Kim Kardashian: …I think I’ll always be a hopeless romantic.
Glamour: What do you mean by that?
Kim Kardashian: It means that I believe in love and the dream of having a perfect relationship, but my idea of it has changed. I think I need to not live in a fairy tale like that. I think I maybe need to just snap out of it and be a little more realistic.
Khloé Kardashian: I love Kim’s belief in love and the fact that she feels so strongly about it. She has that dream every girl has.
Kim Kardashian: Well, I don’t think I have it right now.
Khloé Kardashian: Which is fine, but I’m your sister and I know why you don’t have it right now. But I know you will get it again.
Kim Kardashian: I hope I do. But by then I hope maybe I’m a little bit more realistic.

Glamour: Realistic about what?
Kim Kardashian: The fact that what I want isn’t possible.
Khloé Kardashian: What, a guy on a white horse coming to get you? That doesn’t happen!
Kim Kardashian: I don’t know. I always wanted what Mom and Dad had. And at first I was like, I want six kids. Then I went down to four, then I was down to three…and now I’m like, maybe I won’t have any. Maybe I’ll just be a good aunt.
Khloé Kardashian: But Mom and Dad got a divorce, and she met Bruce. And you were a child; you don’t know what Mom and Dad had. As an outsider looking in, it probably looked like paradise.
Kim Kardashian: At this moment in my life, I feel like maybe I’m not supposed to have kids and all that.
Khloé Kardashian: Oh my God. Don’t be dramatic all of a sudden!
Kim Kardashian: That’s how I feel. Maybe my fairy tale has a different ending than I dreamed it would. But that’s OK.

[From Glamour via Hollywood Gossip]

Jesus, Kim acts like she was married for a decade to the world’s most eligible man and it all fell apart and people are just DEVASTATED. When really she is just the architect of her own relationship failures and she prioritizes fame and money above romance and love. Also – I love how pragmatic Khloe is. She’s still my favorite.

Page Six also points out that Kim’s marriage/divorce drama has boosted the ratings for Kourtney and Kim Take New York – the show “drew 3.2 million viewers in its second-season debut Sunday, up 6 percent from the first-season premiere.” Sources tells Page Six that Kim “can’t bear watching the footage of her and Kris fighting… It is very hard for her to watch. It forces her to relive what went wrong in her marriage.” Kim and Kris Humphries are still not talking – “They are only communicating through lawyers. They won’t become friends, but they are not enemies.” And Kris Humphries believes the show has been edited to make him look like a monster – “It is completely staged. He went from being sweet and playful to verbally abusive and mean-spirited. It is no coincidence that Kris Jenner is an executive producer. They are doing this to save Kim’s career.” An E! rep told Page Six: “Completely false.”

Among all the latest Kardashian stories there’s been one major theme, and that is that the general public, not just the heavy gossip consumers like us, are sick of these bitches, particularly Kim, and are ready to see them go away permanently. We’ve all been saying this for some time, but it took a while for the tide to turn and it really has. Last night’s Entertainment Tonight asked if the Kardashian empire was crumbling, and it definitely seems to be. There are several petitions to take their shows off their air, the most active of which has over 100,000 signatures and an accompanying website, BoycottKim.com. The website is an amusing parody and brief commentary on the Karadashians, although the brands to boycott section is incomplete. That’s probably because it’s nearly impossible to keep up with all the crap these people have slapped their name on.

Well advertisers are worried and wary of the Kardashians, according to ET, as is E!’s parent company, Comcast. ET claimed last night that they had a source that confirmed that “Comcast is concerned about the Kardashian franchise.” A journalist for Hollywood Reporter, Leslie Bruce, really summed things up during ET’s segment. She said “The Kardashian brand relies solely on it’s authenticity, and viewers really believing that they have a window into their life. Without that really what do the Kardashians have?”

What’s more is that the Kardashian sisters have a new book out called Dollhouse. It’s very thinly veiled fiction about their lives, with three sisters called Kamille, Kassidy, and Kyle who live in L.A. with their controlling mom and her new husband, a former professional baseball player. Their rich dad died a few years prior and now they’re hustling to keep up their luxurious lifestyle. The existence of this book just brings home how fake this family is and how much krap they’re trying to sell us without possessing any talent or a intelligence.

If you do a google news search on Kardashian, all the top results are about the petition to take them off their air. There’s also news that Kim ditched her best friend, Brittny Gastineau, shortly after she got married. Brittny’s mom told Radar that Brittny was concerned about Kim jumping into her marriage with Kris Humphries too fast. After Kim got married, she shut Brittny out. She also seems to have shut her husband out, and to have simultaneously slammed the door on all the easy money she was making. Narcissists aren’t very good at maintaining relationships after all.

Here are Kourtney and Khloe promoting their new book in New Jersey yesterday. Look at how orange Kourtney’s face is! And her pantsuit is ridiculous. Kim was a no show.
