Kim Kardashian planning photo shoot with North West, for $2 million or more

Last week, I wrote a story which very few of you cared about. Which was weird, because it was interesting (to me, at least). Kris Jenner seemed to be telling people that she wanted (and Kim wanted) North West’s first baby photos to be shown on Kris’s talk show, which debuts two weeks from now. It seemed like Kim was still debating the wisdom of that, while Kanye was just flat-out opposed to it. To be fair to Kanye, he views himself as the top of the artist heap, and I would imagine that if Kanye is going to allow his daughter to be photographed for a magazine, it’s going to be, like, Mario Testino or Annie Leibovitz for Vanity Fair. Well, it looks like Kanye might have gotten his way:

Kim Kardashian and Kanye West’s baby daughter North West won’t be unveiled on Kris Jenner’s upcoming talk show … despite reports to the contrary.

Sources close to the Kardashian fam tell TMZ, Kim is planning a first look with N.W. in a photo shoot. She hasn’t accepted an offer yet, but we’re told at least one magazine has offered North of $2 mil. We’re told the proceeds will go to charity.

Interesting … a baby reveal on Kris’ new show could be a ratings bonanza, but it’s not gonna happen.

In fact … we’re told Kim is so averse to exploiting her baby — she doesn’t even plan to show North West on “Keeping Up with the Kardashians” next season. We’re guessing Kanye had something to do with that decision.

We’ll believe it when we see it.

[From TMZ]

Kim always claimed she donated her wedding gifts to charity too, although I don’t think that really happened. So, even though there’s a rumor she’ll donate the money to charity, I doubt she’ll ever get around to it. But other than that, I believe this story. Kim probably wants to just do a People Mag photoshoot, while Kanye wants something more artsy, and Kris is freaking out.

Meanwhile, Tracy Anderson gave an interview about Kim’s post-baby body and stuff, because of course we have to talk about this just a few weeks after a woman gave birth. Jesus. I mean, YEEZUS.

Kim Kardashian doesn’t do anything halfway. At the moment, all of her attention is focused on getting to know her newborn daughter, North, whom she and boyfriend Kanye West welcomed into the world on June 15. Losing the baby weight is far from a priority, but when the time is right, she has a plan to get her body back — and more than enough drive and determination to see it through, celeb trainer Tracy Anderson tells Us Weekly exclusively.

Anderson — who has a successful post-pregnancy workout DVD, as well as a series of DVDs to help women stay active during their pregnancies — is personally devising an exercise program to help the 32-year-old reality star bounce back after baby. And though neither she nor Kardashian wants to rush the process, they’re both excited to get to work.

“It’s a tough time, and a lot of women feel like it’s a huge mountain to climb to get back, but Kim, surprisingly, has had the totally opposite reaction to other moms,” Anderson tells Us. “She’s like, ‘We’re going to be so good. It’s fun, I feel great!’ She just loves the whole process. From our talks during her pregnancy, I thought she was going to be really concerned [about her weight] once the baby was out, but she’s just not…She’s in baby heaven. She’s excited to get started, but she’s really calm about it all.”

Anderson — whose other celeb clients include Gwyneth Paltrow, Jennifer Lopez, Bethenny Frankel, and Shiri Appleby — says she won’t actually start working out with Kardashian until five weeks after baby North’s birth. But she’s already mapping out a routine.

“It will definitely be lots of muscular structure…In the beginning, it’s key getting the deep abdominal muscles back and making sure that you get the strength back in the right layers,” she explains, noting that Kardashian’s program will include exercises tailor-made for her body and her preferences. “She’s not going to be doing any typical crunches or anything like that.”

The plan, Anderson says, is to start with four-day-a-week workouts and then gradually increase to five or six days. “She promised me she would be the best student ever, and I promised her that I would do it personally for her, that I would go to her myself and get her back,” she tells Us. (The fitness guru doesn’t typically train celebs herself, but she’s making an exception in Kardashian’s case.)

“Kim is super motivated. She’s all in,” Anderson says. “Pregnancy is actually an opportunity for women to look better than ever. And [Kim] will.”

[From Us Weekly]

You can tell that Tracy is just itching to complain about Kim’s body. This is a woman who bitched about her clients’ “disaster bodies” and complained that too many women use pregnancy as an excuse “to let their bodies go”. When she met Gwyneth for the first time, she pulled off Goop’s pants and told her to her face that she looked terrible. So, yeah… Kim is in for a rough ride. Maybe Kim should just hire Gunnar Peterson or something?

    Kim needs to stop making that duck face with her inflated lips.

  2. brin says:

    Didn’t need Miss Kleo to see that one coming.

  3. Jules says:

    What’s with the duck lips……..isn’t she too old for that?

  4. Ag says:

    there’s no end to this national nightmare, is there?

    • Nicolette says:

      Nope, not even close. I believe money is the only reason Kim had this baby, and Grandma must be licking her chops and rubbing her hands together waiting to count it. This is her new little money maker after all. She’ll be pimping it out like the rest of the girls in that family.

      And I’m not buying the load of crap about how maternal Kim has become. Did she suddenly give birth to soul as well? She just wants her body back, her money and to probably never get pregnant again.

  5. LAK says:

    of course she is. Baby needs to start earning her keep!!

  6. lisa2 says:

    I really don’t believe that 2 million price tag. Mainly because I have seen many magazines say they are not paying that kind of money anymore. If Kim did get 2 million I think it means that she like many other celebs promised to do future spreads. Like a birthday or wedding.

  7. Kim1 says:

    Actually she said she gave $200K the value of the gifts to charity not the actual gifts.She kept the gifts.

    • lucy2 says:

      I’m guessing the “charity” was actually her mother’s tax shelter, er, church.

    • Debbie says:

      Not for nothing but she was married for 72 days, so manners and etiquette dictate that she returns the gifts to the people who gave them to her. That is the rule if your married a year or less you are suppose to return the gifts to those who bought them for you. Not keep them or give them to charity.

      Those people could have gotten a refund and they should have been give that opportunity. Kim keeping those gifts shows how truly low rent and classless she is.

  8. SolitaryAngel says:

    You are a 30-something-year-old ‘woman’ FFS stop with that stupid duck face!!! Grrr

    Shenanigans on the rest.

    • Joanna says:

      + 10 million

    • TheOriginalKitten says:

      Sadly, I have some thirty-something friends that still post FB ducklips pics, apparently oblivious to how cringe-inducing it is for the rest of us to behold.

      These are also the same people that feel a need to post pics of themselves and their friends at EVERY bar they go to (“hey man, look at us drinking booze and having fun!!”).

      *sigh*

      If you aren’t past the try-hard stage by thirty, then you’re pretty much a lost cause IMO.

      • Willa says:

        I have friends exactly like that on facebook as well! Seriously considering deleting a few. Not their frendships just their profiles.

      • gogoGorilla says:

        For some people, it gets worse in the 40s. Especially when folks are newly divorced and post about their HI-larious all-nighters. Or the guys whose balls they’ve jiggled as a gag when walking by. Gah. Your kids (also your friends on FB) must be so proud.

  9. Joanna says:

    Congrats on the baby, Donald duck, i mean, Kim. Why do people not realize how stupid duck lips look? you look like a moron
    when you pose like that.

  10. Dedrie says:

    And ALL THAT MONEY and any other she money she gets for publicizing her child.. she humbly will donate to some very worthy USA child medical care charity.. in North West’s name.. Let’s keep pressuring her to fulfill that benevolent giving and caring kind practice and see what happens.. HAHAHAHAAAAH

  11. Jayna says:

    People who continually tweet self-photos of themselves up close are narcissistic or have already developed narcissistic personality disorder traits. I am always embarrassed for them. Standing in a bathroom or hotel room or home and holding the camera or having someone take an up close photo of your face or you in a bikini, etc., and posting it is patethic.

  12. grabbyhands says:

    In fact … we’re told Kim is so averse to exploiting her baby — she doesn’t even plan to show North West on “Keeping Up with the Kardashians” next season. We’re guessing Kanye had something to do with that decision.

    I expect this vow to last just long enough for the cameras to start rolling and E to dangle a big check in front of her face.

    • Agnetha says:

      If she doesn’t show her baby on the show I believe the show is over. They may try and do a Kendall/Kylie and a Khloe/Kourtney spin off, but without Kim I don’t see the show surviving.

      I wouldn’t want to be around to see PMK freak out.

      I also don’t ever see Kanye being ok with his kid on tv, he is too good for that (I can’t blame him).

  13. Lexi says:

    Shocker!

  14. Becky says:

    I can’t believe I have given this any thought but I have so: I think Kim should allow the baby on the show now that she is a new born (I know nothing about babies so take this with a grain of salt) and then after this season, if she really wants to please kanye and try to make it work, relocate to Paris or quit the show. I mean, the baby is so little now anyways, so the exposure doesn’t seem as invasive… It will be like any other baby sleeping and eating. And there is a lot of media hype and interest so it could be great for ratings especially when we know that kanye is losing his shit behind the curtains. And PMK would be elated. It’s a win win win ( except for big baby kanye).

    • Nina W says:

      She should not exploit her infant child. No TV, no show, no photo-ops, for once in her life she needs to think about what’s best for someone other than herself.

  15. The Original Mia says:

    Of course, she was waiting for the money. This was never about keeping her child out of the limelight. It was always about the money.

  16. Jen says:

    Most of the celebrity babies in the past few years have not had paid magazine covers. Most are shared via social media or some planned pap walk. Why would anyone pay $2mil for this kid?

  17. DanaG says:

    There was nothing besides Kim saying she donated that money from her wedding and I think the same will be for this. She will keep the 2 million and say she did but won’t say what charities that way no one can check. Dont think she will be able to resist showing of her mothering skills on the Kardashians what is she going to do ignore the baby the whole time they film? Can’t see it happening once Kanye is out of the picture and I still think he will be given a few months.

  18. Jane says:

    I called it earlier with the 2 mill. I doubt the money is going to charity though. She will probably take a bath with the cash.

  19. dorothy says:

    Does anyone care? I really haven’t heard or read of anyone clamoring for a picture. Out of sight, out of mind.

  20. Dawn says:

    Gasp…I didn’t see this coming…a photo shoot for money you say? And with a new baby for 2 million dollars I mean really…I thought Kanye was so AGAINST using this child for monetary gain? Guess not but these people are sick and the fact that they have fans is even sicker. They are whores and nothing more. I for one will NOT buy any magazine that glorifies this woman, her baby or her family. This nonsense just needs to stop. If you want to give your money away to whores just stop on down to the girls who are on the stroll and throw it at them….at least they are working for it. Sick.

  21. HH says:

    A mag offered “North of $2M…” Please tell me that was “pun-intended.” LOL! Kim is probably the most narcissistic celebrity out there today. Miley Cyrus is a close second, but Kim has her beat on the non-sense selfies. And duck face pics count double in this poll. 😛

  22. QQ says:

    If Playboy paid that money this attention whore not only would do it but would give em a Joint Mom and Baby naked pic and put her child in a Bunny costume!, Yep!

    Funny related aside, watched KUWTK for the first time ever since the “Kim cried when divorcing Lurch” ( no yall, what a Pleasure is seeing that chick attempt to cry on a paralyzed face!!) and it was so hilarious to me that they had to do mini interviews about “their feelings” during x,y,z situation in their vapid vocal fry voices cause neither their frozen harpy faces nor their voices exactly gave any emotion away

  23. lucy2 says:

    No way that poor kid stays off the TV show – they’ll need a ratings boost or some good publicity, and it’ll happen.

  24. LahdidahBaby says:

    I wonder if Kim knows how much her ever-present lip-pout resembles The Donald’s lip-pout, which I’ve always thought resembles the open beak of a baby bird in the nest, anteing up for a worm.

  25. truthful says:

    me thinks that Kim is resting up from her surgeries to make her body look fantastic.

    that why there are no pics of her, its not that she is breastfeeding and can’t be bothered with the world.

  26. janie says:

    If she donates anything to charity.. The end of the world must be at hand?

  27. Kelly says:

    1. The lips. Aaaarrggh.

    2. I think she’s waiting for the baby to get cute. Let’s face it, unless she had a C-section then the baby could have that mushed up, red mark look. My son was DARLING, darlings, but he was C-section and still looked an alien extra on The Coheheads.

    3. She is not great feeding. No way.

    4. Most importantly, let’s all sigh together over the life this poor, innocent, I-never-asked-for-this baby.

    • Kelly says:

      That was supposed to BREAST feeding. Sorry.

      • Dommy Dearest says:

        I saw on a cover of a magazine that she wasn’t breast feeding. The reason was something along the lines of her body already being messed up and her boobs would follow.

        Konflicting covers for the win!

  28. palermo says:

    I can’t even explain how little interest I have for this bimbo now …

  29. Cece says:

    I would not pay a dime to see pics of this woman or her baby. I hope whatever magazine pays for pics loses big time on the transaction.

  30. Lulu86 says:

    i’ll say this again. I wish Kanye would just spazz the heck out and post the picture himself on twitter,FB etc to spite all this famewhoring attention seeking family.

    • Holly says:

      I’ve been hoping this too. Just like he did with the pregnancy announcement.. Would have loved to see the look on PMK’s face!

  31. The Original G says:

    2 mil? No way. PMK is floating this story to get some leverage some interest. If it fails she can always go back and cite “privacy concerns”

  32. Faye says:

    I hope everyone enjoys these stories. Because we’re going to be seeing them for a loooong time.

    I do have to laugh, albeit in an evil way, at the idea of Tracy Anderson and Kim Kardashian teaming up. If ever a pair deserved each other more than those two, I don’t know who that could be.

  33. ladybert62 says:

    I think for the good of the baby, she should donate the baby to charity.

  34. Dedrie says:

    She’s always looking for men to hustle.. Big expensive everything.. that’s the ticket..

  35. Dommy Dearest says:

    Who ever pays this Kow and family that much money for a picture of a baby is an idiot.
    -edit-
    And also! I’ve always thought she and the Camel for Camel cigarettes look alike, especially with those faces she makes. So I put these two together. Any resemblance?

  36. J says:

    Charity?? Like her mom’s church? Lololol. MoNey MoNEy MONey thats what allll of this about.

  37. Samantha says:

    Anyone who would pay 2 million for a photo shoot with the Kardashian kid is an idiot. And not even because lending publicity to Kimye’s ability to reproduce passed the point of diminishing returns somewhere in the first trimester (if not five minutes after Kim peed on the stick…).

    It’s just…why buy a house for 2 mill when those two famewhores will eventually give you the bricks for free? Give them time; they will be flashing the poor kid in front of anyone who so much as has a smartphone in a few weeks.

    Sadly enough…there are people in the showbiz dumb enough to shell out for this camp.

  38. Norman says:

    If she is giving 2 mil to charity I have a bridge to sell and a superluminal spaceship from the under my house to give away. If you know Kim its going to her new house and gold mirror painted Bugatti Veyron.

  39. TG says:

    It seems to me that she is sucking in her cheeks to try to look thinner rather than just trying to make ducks lips but maybe she is trying to do both at once. I also noticed they the Klan will put out a story such as Kimmy is not breastfeeding with a BS excuse and then they will see all the backlash and one day later put out a new story that she is and is loving it. They put out a story about how she wants her body back and everyone slimed that hog for that so now they have this piece out about how she isn’t worried or concerned about it and is 100% into being a mom. This goes on and in the lies they spin. I agree the only charity that hog and her Klan donate to is to PMK’s tax shelter a.k.a PMK’s church.

  40. Jane says:

    Sigh, sucking in her cheeks and she’s gonna milk the baby thing for sure. I really just hope she can turn it around and not be a narcissistic mother (http://www.afterpsychotherapy.com/the-narcissistic-mother-revisited/)

  41. Bridget says:

    Charity being her mother’s church, which is just a tax shelter. Gross.

  42. Nina W says:

    $2 million, LOL, yeah right, what fool magazine is gonna pony up that cash? One I’ll never buy, that’s for sure. Good luck with that ludicrous price tag Kim, NOBODY thinks a photo of your spawn is going to be that precious or rare.

  43. gefeylich says:

    Yeah. All that “respect my privacy!” and “I just want to be a mom now!” BS was just that. We all knew she (and PimpGrandma Kris) couldn’t wait to put little Japanese Seaweed out on the ho stroll. I’m just surprised it took them this long.

  44. J says:

    I thought she was a “recluse” ?!?!

  45. Mercy says:

    I guess the drugs of the C-Section are not out of her system yet, are we would’ve have seen pic’s are something.

  46. Thora says:

    And yet I wouldn’t pay two bucks to look at them.
