These days, we’re all holed up inside, avoiding contact with other human beings.
And for once, Rob Kardashian can accurately claim he was ahead of the trend.
As you’re probably aware, Rob has been in hiding for years now.
Like a clout-hungr…
Last week, Khloe Kardashian asked Tristan Thompson for his sperm so that she can one day give True a full-blooded sibling.
In this Keeping Up With The Kardashians clip, she breaks the news to her family that Tristan is officially her sperm donor.
“I’ve been doing hormone injections for about five days,” Khloe shares with the camera at the beginning of this sneak peek clip.
“And the injection process has been fine,” she marvels.
“I don’t know why,” Khloe admits, adding: “I’m like, ‘Oh, okay, it’s not that bad.’
For some, the hormone injections required before eggs can be harvested make them miserable, impacting their bodies, emotions, and mental states.
Prompted by Kourtney’s question, Khloe reveals that they are looking at a batch of 14 to 16 eggs.
“And then what?” Kendall, the only of Kris’ children to not have kids, asks curiously. “They freeze the best ones?”
“Yeah,” Khloe states. “They can tell if one of the eggs is bad, somehow, but you can’t tell any chromosome …”
Full disclosure, to my ears, it sounded like she said chromazone, which sounds like a very colorful place to hang out.
Kourtney explains that doctors would not be able to see any chromosomal combos “until it has sperm mixed with it.”
That’s because a gamete on its own does not possess a full set of chromosomes, obviously. A zygote does.
And the chromosomal combinations that determine what we perceive to be primary and secondary sex charateristics would not be visible in an egg.
There are six possible combinations, and they all require both the egg and the sperm to appear.
“The bonus of doing embryos,” Khloe recalls her doctor telling her, “which are healthy.”
“You get to already know all of that by mixing them with sperm,” she explains.
Again, looking at eggs to see what a baby will look like is like looking at a bunch of blank pages and guessing how good the book will be.
(Something familiar for any writer)
“I do have a sperm donor,” Khloe reveals to her sisters.
“But,” she teases, before curiosity gets the better of Kourtney and Kendall.
“You do?” Kendall asks. “Can I see a picture?”
“Tristan …” Khloe says, before all three women burst into laughter.
“I thought you went to a bank!” Kendall exclaims, laughing at herself for her fairly reasonable assumption.
That is really not that much of a leap.
Very few women refer to an ex-boyfriend as a “sperm donor” unless they had a bitter breakup and are no longer in contact.
And plenty of people use sperm from donors whom they have never met.
“After my doctor’s appointment,” Khloe then explains to the camera, “I talked to Tristan.”
She explains that it made sense “because if you can create embryos, and do all of the DNA testing, I think that that’s the smarter choice.”
Smarter than freezing your eggs by themselves, absolutely.
There are ethical concerns when it comes to picking which embryo to implant — but Khloe is not trying to do a deep dive into eugenics, folks.
“But it’s weird,” Khloe confesses, “because Tristan and I were not together.”
“I don’t know which way to go,” she tells the camera.
Khloe then tells Kendall: “He has to sign legal paperwork that he would just be my sperm donor.”
Failing to do so could mean a custody battle over baby #2 if Tristan wanted, causing emotional and financial distress.
“But you never know,” Khloe admits.
“What if, in three years, I get married to someone, and I’m like, ‘You know what? I don’t want that?'” she suggests.
Kourt then adds that she has eggs frozen, but they are bereft and spermless.
But you know what? A lot of folks are spermless during this pandemic. Kourt’s eggs can remain viably frozen for a decade.
As previously reported, Khloe Kardashian watched the Keeping Up with the Kardashians premiere with Tristan Thompson.
Talk about awkward, right?
Actually… wrong!
On Thursday night’s new episode of this beloved E! reality show, we were trea…
Following an emotional episode on which Kourtney Kardashian quit the show, Keeping Up with the Kardashians returned on Thursday night with a focus on a different cast member.
And the end of a different sort of relationship.
Could this be it for K…
While Khloe is considering never dating again, her mom is all about her own love life … possibly to excess.
Much to the public embarrassment of her daughters, Kris Jenner cannot stop thinking and talking about sex.
You know when you were in high school and a friend kept trying to draw attention to their hickey so that you’d ask about it?
Well, that is exactly Kris Jenner’s energy in this Keeping Up With The Kardashians sneak peek clip.
“Do I have lipstick all over my face?” she asks Kendall and Khloe as she takes a seat with them at the table.
“We were just having a little make out session in the car,” Kris casually informs her tallest daughters.
Kris also had to ask if her top was on right, and then briefly tested the water, asking: “Is that too much?”
“It’s just one of those days,” she says mysteriously.
In other words, she’s a very horny momager.
Khloe asks why Corey is not joining them, but it sounds like he is a little worn out.
“Corey had to go home and sleep,” Kris brags, “because we were up all night.”
She adds: “You know how that goes.”
“I love our dynamic with our mom and I would not change it for the world,” Khloe affirms to the confessional camera.
“But does my mom over share?” she asks rhetorically.
“I mean, she’s talking about her lipstick being smeared, her mojo … just some things — zip it,” Khloe expresses.
Their food is then served.
At this point, Kris is brought a tiramisu, a coffee-flavored Italian dessert, on the house.
“I heard it was the dessert of lovers,” Kris says to the man bringing it, to everyone’s discomfort.
Honestly? Kendall’s bulging eyes are deeply relatable at this point.
Most of us have given our moms this look — to no avail — at least once.
Both daughters are then forced to sit and watch Kris take bites of the dessert and then moan.
Clearly enjoying tormenting Khloe and Kendall, Kris then says: “I could rub this all over my body.”
“Ew,” Khloe very understandably remarks.
Like the rest of us, she asks: “Why would you want to?”
Instead of answering, Kris just nods suggestively and says “trust me.”
In the confessional, she explains her state of mind. Her horny, horny state of mind.
“Women go through stages in life,” Kris points out.
She continues: “and I’m going through one of those stages.”
Kris details that she’s in a place “where I cannot get enough of my boyfriend.”
“And it’s a little unfair that I’m dating and having the time of my life,” she laments, “when Khloe’s not.”
Back in the restaurant, Kris advises Khloe: “You just got to get it in when you can.”
There is then an acknowledgment that Khloe and Kris “couldn’t be more opposite right now” in this regard.
“You should taste this, guys,” Kris urges her daughters, instantly ruining it by taunting: “This is like a sex dessert.”
Kris then repeats the word “sex” loudly until she accidentally disturbs the restaurant. Oh, Kris.
Khloe’s horror is both palpable and relatable, as is her inability to hush her mother before it is too late.
Kris does at least apologize.
Laughing, she confesses: “I cannot stop thinking about sex.”
After all of the Kourtney drama on last week’s Keeping Up With The Kardashians, this week’s sneak peek is all about Khloe.
In a tense conversation with Kris, Khloe admits that she may never date again. That’s when her momager suggests freezing her eggs.
In a Keeping Up With The Kardashians sneak peek, Kris has a lot of questions for Khloe.
“Are you dating anybody?” the momager asks.
“No,” Khloe shares. “Not even thinking about it.”
“No? … You’ve been on a date,” Kris suggests. She sounds like she had really been expecting a different answer.
When Khloe pretty much shuts down her assumptions that she’s back on the market, Kris’ voice drops to a whisper.
“Stop,” she says, almost playfully.
(It really sounds like Kris thoughtt that they were sitting down to have a very different conversation)
“Well,” Khloe clarifies, “not since Tristan and I broke up.”
Khloe reveals: “I have friends [who say] like ‘I want to hook you up with someone.'”\
But she is in no mood.
“I just don’t care,” she confesses to Kris.
“I’m focused on myself and True,” Khloe asserts.
Those are very good priorities to have.
She adds: “I’m like, that’s just what I do.”
“Who knows?” Khloe suggests. “Maybe I’ll never date again.”
Plenty of people swear off dating, though Khloe is simply mentioning the possibility.
Kris audibly gasps, and says: “Khloe!” in shock.
She also puts on her best imitation of the Surprised Pikachu meme.
At this point, the momager speaks to the confessional camera.
“Khloe has definitely been through a rough year,” Kris acknowledges.
That is something of an understatement. Tristan humiliated her by cheating on her, again and again.
“And,” Kris continues, “the fact that she says that she doesn’t want to date again is a little sad for me.”
Kris explains that she finds this remark to be sad “because I want her to live her best life.”
(For the record, plenty of people find living their best lives to mean not dating — just like childfree folks find it fulfilling to not be parents)
“And,” Kris expresses, she has “hope that she’ll have another baby one day.”
“And I think it’s good to put yourself out there for a little bit,” Kris opines.
That is an extremely mom piece of advice, right?
Kris suggests that Khloe should go back on the market “in order to figure out what you want and what’s meant to be.”
“Do you want another baby?” Kris asks.
“Not now, no,” Khloe replies honestly.
Kris then asks: “Are your eggs frozen?”
“Nope,” her daughter replies casually.
“If I want to, I will one day,” Khloe shares.
At the moment, however, “I just don’t care to.”
“You need frozen eggs,” Kris advises her.
Khloe assures her mother: “I’m not worried about it.”
Khloe, with her breasts absolutely glistening like balloons in heavy makeup, then speaks to the confessional camera.
“I just find it so strange that people find it such a negative when somebody wants to be single,” Khloe expresses.
“Trust me,” she says.
“If I wanted to date,” Khloe promises, “I would date.”
“I want to invest my energy in my daughter,” Khloe proclaims.
She adds that she also intends to invest her energy “in my self-healing.”
Those are both very worthy uses of her time.
“And I think that should be really empowering,” Khloe suggests.
“And,” she adds, “it should be more rewarded.”
Khloe expresses that being single by choice should be encouraged and accepted “rather than frowned upon.”
She’s right.
“Like ‘oh my gosh, is she okay?'” Khloe says, immitating the way that people have spoken about her.
“I’m actually f–king fantastic,” she declares.
“And,” Khloe concludes, “I think everybody should jump on this bandwagon.”
After the bloody brawl between sisters left Kim covered in bloody wounds, Kourtney officially quit Keeping Up With The Kardashians.
In response to the intense episode, Kourt took to Twitter to defend herself.
Kourtney knew everything that was going down on Thursday night’s new episode, so she preemptively tweeted about it.
“I won’t be live tweeting #KUWTK tonight,” Kour warned her fans and followrs on Twitter.
She explained that she was too busy, “as I’m spending time with my kids while they are on spring break.”
A lot of kids are tuning in to livestreams of their teachers to continue schooling during this pandemic, but Spring Break is still a thing.
“I realize that a lot of the conversation right now surrounds my work ethic,” Kourtney acknowledged.
Essentially, Kourt seemed resentful of having to film for a reality show, causing Kim to seemingly perceive her as “lazy.”
“And,” she expressed in the tweet, “I feel like I need to just make one thing clear:”
Kourtney then correctly remarked that “raising children is a job as well.”
“In fact” “it’s the hardest and most rewarding job that I have ever had,” Kourtney noted.
Even when you’re rich, being a parent is still time-consuming and involves a lot of work.
She affirmed: “I’ve decided to put my focus on my kids.”
Kourt means that she is focusing on her children in general, but also instead of on being a reality star.
Kourtney added that she is also focusing on “my lifestyle brand, Poosh.”
Naturally, she used the tweets that she new would draw the attention of fans to plug her brand.
She sid more about Poosh “which is all about finding YOUR healthy balance for living your best life.”
It will be interesting to see how her brand does when viewers are seeing less of her on their screens.
“I don’t judge anyone who chooses a different route,” Kourtney announced.
In other words, if you’re blissfully childfree, she’s not putting you on blast for not having kids.
At least, so long as you don’t shame her for prioritizing motherhood.
“And,” she expressed, “I hope that everyone can appreciate my choices as well.”
“With love, Kourt,” she signed her tweet.
However, Kourtney’s tweets were met with some nuanced criticism for their own merit?
A number of her followers remarked that she seemed to be saying that a parent who works full time cannot be devoted to their children.
Kourt did seem to treat “being a good mom” and “having this job” as mutually exclusive — at least, that’s how it looked like to some fans.
Larger criticisms right now have to do with how good of a mom she could be if she’s getting into a physical brawl with Aunt Kim.
But we think that there’s a simple explanation for why, to Kourtney, reality TV felt like it cut into her time as a mother.
Different people have different dispositions, folks, and a desire to relax is not the equivalent of a bad work ethic.
During this pandemic, a lot of people on social media have expressed frustration that they have “nothing to do” or feel “restless.”
Those of us who cannot relate because we know how to fill any amount of down time need to understand that it’s just a difference of personality.
Kourtney wants to chill. Kim in particular is wired very differently. They’re just different people.
Kourtney Kardashian is outta there, folks.
On Keeping Up with the Kardashians Thursday night, producers scripted an episode that focused on the aftermath of last week’s violent Season 18 premiere.
If you’ll recall, this E! reality show return…
On last week’s Keeping Up With The Kardashians premiere, Kim and Kourtney had a knock-down, drag-out physical fight.
In a new sneak peek clip, Kim cleans her open, bloody wounds — left there by Kourtney’s attack.
This sneak peek clip shows us the immediate aftermath of the gruesome brawl between Kim and Kourtney.
Disputes over Kourt’s bad attitude had come to a head and she and Kim fought on camera.
Despite Khloe’s efforts to break up the scuffle, Kim loudly struck Kourtney.
And Kourt, as you are about to see very vividly, inflicted some bleeding gashes on Kim.
In the aftermath of the fight, Kourthey’s tears are audible in her voice as she is on the verge of sobbing.
“Do you think I want to come into this negative environment with you guys every freaking day?” she demands.
Khloe expresses confusion over what the point of contention is, and Kourt furiously tells her that the conversation has moved past Kendall.
Kourtney then expresses that she has had enough of Kim’s attitude and of Khloe’s.
“If I don’t see you at filming,” Kourt tells her sisters, “you’re completely fine when we’re not in this environment”
“Then actually, you should go,” Kim, who is coldly furious at this point, admonishes her sister.
Kourtney yells back: “I don’t want to be near your fat ass, OK?”
“Then go!” Kim demands. “Then go!”
Kourtney also gets a reminder from Khloe: “Don’t scream while my daughter is sleeping.”
We’ll say this much — at least True, and the other children, did not witness the fight.
Young children witnessing physical fights in their families can be frightened and traumatized by the event.
Kourtney then uses the confessional camera to explain her ongoing frustrations with her sisters.
“I don’t understand why there’s all this judgement about the way that we each want to live our lives,” Kourtney expresses.
“We should be accepted for what we each want to do,” she asserts.
Kourtney continues: “And it’s not a positive environment for me to want to be in every day.”
She explains that it feels toxic “when I feel like they’re so critical of me.”
“Every day that I’m coming in, I’m like, why am I choosing to be in this environment?” Kourtney describes asking herself.
“And I think I just, like, reached my point of not being able to tolerate it anymore,” she explains.
Reaching your limit is one thing, and it is not unexpected from Kourtney after years of open dissatisfaction.
But it really cannot excuse what went down between the sisters.
At the very end of the sneak peek clip, we see Kim’s injuries up close.
The bleeding lacerations were visible before, but up close, we can see how Kourtney had cut the skin.
These are the kinds of wounds that need to be treated to avoid infection and to speed the healing process.
And Kim was injured on more than just her arm.
Oh, that looks nasty!
And, unlike the injury to her upper arm, it will be harder for her to avoid putting clothing over the wound on her back.
This is a great reminder that part of coronavirus safety includes trimming your nails short, to give the virus fewer places to hide on your hands.
But also, if cabin fever drives you and someone else to blows, you’d both prefer it if the scuffle didn’t lead to cuts like these, right?
Last week, the new season of Keeping Up With The Kardashians began with a literal fight between Kim and Kourtney.
In a new interview that you can see below, Kim explains exactly why it happened and where things now stand.
Kim Kardashian sat down for an interview with Jimmy Fallon, each speaking from their respective homes.
“We filmed … we’re on 18, we filmed the entire season except for the last episode,” Kim reveals.
“Now,” she confirms, “we have shut down production” due to the coronavirus pandemic.
“It’ll be all of us in quarantine,” Kim says of the final episode of the season, “filmed separately, by ourselves.”
“The whole last episode will be what we do in quarantine,” Kim explains.
She then admits that she “literally” has “no idea” what Khloe, for example, is up to.
This is when Jimmy Fallon asks Kim about the physical fight that she had with Kourtney.
He wants to understand why it happened and what the sisters did in the aftermath.
“It was pretty intense,” Kim readily admits of the physical brawl with Kourt.
She states: “I feel like it’s been a lot of built-up resentment from Kourtney.”
“Or,” Kim rephrases, “just feeling like she really doesn’t want to film anymore.”
That has been very clear for quite some time.
“And so,” Kim continues, “she not the type of person to make a decision and say ‘Okay, guys, I’m not going to film.'”
“She would come to work with an attitude every day,” she complains.
“Kind of take it out on everyone,” Kim adds, “from the crew to us … and wouldn’t really make that decision.”
“So we would kind of, like, keep on pushing her to figure out why she was so unhappy,” she says.
“[Physical fighting is] not really what we do,” Kim says, noting how unusual this was.
“When my mom saw … a clip of that,” she reveals, “she cried.”
“She was like, ‘Who are you guys? What is going on?'” Kim shares.
We can only imagine Kris’ level of distress at seeing and hearing her daughters fight each other.
“Kourtney and I obviously are fine now,” Kim says.
“But we shut down production for a week after that,” she reveals.
Kim explains: “I think that everyone was really … shook, for a minute.”
“This isn’t our type of show, what’s happening?” she expresses. “We want everyone to be comfortable and safe.”
“But, you know, that happened,” Kim states. She’s not wrong.
She clarifies: “I don’t really ever resort to violence like that.”
Kim explains: “But she scratched me so hard, which you guys didn’t see.”
She then describes how she was bleeding from her arm. To be clear, we did notice that.
Kim is the first to admit that this was not her proudest moment, on or off of the camera.
Sometimes, people let things fester for months or years and the resulting explosion ends up being violent.
It is unfortunate and frankly disappointing that this is what happened between these sisters — who are both grown women with children.
Family should use their words, not their hands, when expressing themselves.
The one upside of all of this is that apparently it was what Kourtney needed to realize that she has to stop subjecting herself to being on the show.
If it’s impacting her emotional health to this degree and she doesn’t need the money, there’s no reason to put herself through it.
Please, Kim and Kourt, don’t make Kris cry again.
FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT!
On the Keeping Up with the Kardashians Season 18 premiere, Kim took a break from trashing Taylor Swift to, instead, throw some serious shade at her own sister.
She also threw an actual punch.
After taking a break from filming their show over the summer, these famous family members were back in front of the camera for this new episode — with some siblings more excited about this fact than others.
Kourtney, especially, was struggling with her return to work, following a month in Italy (pre-Coronavirus) with her children.
“I’m also not only shooting for our show today, but I’m also shooting Architectural Digest for my home,” the mother of three lamented.
“So, I’m just being torn in a lot of different directions. And, after being off for a month, it just gives me anxiety knowing that I’m going to be having no real privacy.”
“There’s probably going to be 40 people in my house today.”
Kourtney, of course, makes millions of dollars in exchange for this lack of privacy. Still, she complained to Khloe about having to get all made up for filming, stating simply:
“I honestly don’t want to film like, ever again.”
If that were really the case, Khloe wondered, why didn’t she just leave after Season 17?
“She could’ve made the decision to quit, she chose to not quit,” Khloe said on air.
“But she’s here today, exactly where we left off.”
“It’s affecting my mood that she’s so miserable that we’re here doing our job… that she has agreed to.”
Tension was only raised higher after Kourtney took issue with some unexpected costs associated with a recent family trip, a complaint that also pissed Khloe off.
“It’s not that you’re siding with Kim, it’s that you’re siding with production when this, honestly, has nothing to do with you,” Kourtney told Khloe, who fired back:
“Then, don’t talk about it in front of me.”
Later, during a sit down with Kourtney, Kim and Khloe confronted their older sister about her “negativity” and “bad vibes.”
Kourtney claimed to be mostly kidding around, but then Khloe referred to her as an “asshole” and thiings grew worse from there.
“For years, it used to be Khloe and I against Kim,” Kourtney said via confessional.
“And for the last, maybe, three years, it’s just been such a different dynamic where it’s Kim and Khloe against me.”
Toward the end of the premiere, Kim mentioned how Kylie couldn’t take part in a fashion show because she was sick.
She questioned her sisters’ work ethic as a result… and Kourtney simply WENT OFF in response.
Having had enough, Kourtney screamed at Kim:
“You act like I don’t do s–t! You have this narrative in your mind…I will literally f–k you up if you mention it again.”
“But, honestly, change the narrative in your mind.”
“I work my f–king ass off.”
Kim simply smirked while Kourtney yelled, which angered the latter even more.
“I will literally f–k you up,” Kourtney said.
“What the f–k is wrong with you?” a stunned Kim asked.
“Don’t ever come at me like that. I swear to God, I’ll punch you in your face.”
Khloe tried to diffuse the situation, but it was too late.
A punch was thrown; scratches were exchanged.
And in a shocking turn of events, amid ongoing insults from both sides, Kim slapped Kourtney numerous times across the face.
YIKES, right?
Will Kim and Kourtney ever get along again after this iconic meltdown?
What will the script for next week’s episode tell them to do and say?
There’s only one way to find out: Tune in to Keeping Up With the Kardashians, now on Thursdays in prime time!
FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT!
On the Keeping Up with the Kardashians Season 18 premiere, Kim took a break from trashing Taylor Swift to, instead, throw some serious shade at her own sister.
She also threw an actual punch.
After taking a break from f…
Last month, we knew that Kim and Kourtney got violent with each other on camera. This new superteaser shows us so much more.
These sisters don’t just fight, they brawl, and the result is some very visible, nasty injuries.
This clip begins with Khloe dressed up as her mother, even referring to herself as Kris Jenner, reading from a storybook.
“Once upon a time, there lived a powerful queen who gave birth to five princesses,” she begins.
Khloe continues “each with their own gifts and passions.”
Viewers are then treated to a montage of their famous family as they build hype for the season premiere on Thursday night.
“From health,” Khloe narrates, “to beauty.”
For some reason, Kendall is singled out for “health” and Kylie for “beauty.”
Kendall is an international supermodel, but we suppose that this was about Kylie’s makeup empire.
As for Kendall, well, she’s the only one of the “princesses” who hasn’t had her bones and teeth stripped of calcium to form a baby skeleton. Healthy.
Khloe then includes herself, saying: “to humor.”
Here, we see her chatting with Scott Disick about the idea of dressing as Kris.
“But as their kingdom grew stronger,” Khloe warns.
She continues: “so too did the burden that came with it.”
“I will f–k you up,” Kourtney says furiously to her sister, Kim.
Kourt then calls her “you literal c–t.”
If those sound like fighting words to you, you are not at all wrong.
We then see Kourtney and Kim come to blows in greater detail than past teasers have shared.
What begins with Kourtney angrily throwing something at Kim devolves into a brawl between the sisters.
These are two grown women with seven children between them.
During the scuffle, we can hear a very audible strike — though that may be foley work.
Nonetheless, it is clear from looking at Kim that injuries were inflicted — like that very conspicuous scratch on her shoulder.
“Just get the f–k out of here,” Kim admonishes Kourtney in the apparent aftermath of their brawl.
“I don’t even want to see your f–king face,” she adds.
“I don’t wanna be near your fat ass,” Kourtney fires back impatiently.
“Then go,” Kim demands. “THEN GO!!”
We have seen a little more of their fight in past teasers, but only by fractions of a second.
It does appear that Kourtney wa the aggressor.
Many of us may feel frustrated with Kim right now after her misleading snippets of audio from 2016 have exposed her and vindicated Taylor Swift.
But that doesn’t mean that Kim, or Kourtney for that matter, should be the victim of violence.
As always with the Kardashians and any reality stars, really, there is just no way of telling how much of this is put on for the camera.
Contrary to popular belief, reality shows are not “scripted,” but that doesn’t mean that conversations and confrontations are never planned.
We would love to believe that this bad behavior was purely manufactured in a desperate bid for ratings.
But sometimes … fully grown rich people just act like clowns on their own.
In this Keeping Up With The Kardashians sneak peek, we’re finally taking a break from the ongoing Kourtney drama.
As you can see in this clip, Kris Jenner is totally out of her element … as her daughters pressure her to be nice to random strangers.
Kris Jenner brought her daughters to a wine-tasting in Napa, which is a sensible place to hold tha tkind of event.
Kim and Khloe marvel over how sweet a wine is.
(That’s the only good way for wine to be)
But there’s a shift from the otherwise boring conversation when the Kardashians spy a woman wearing a gorgeous Chanel beret.
Khloe bombards the woman with compliments, to the woman’s delight.
She is right to bestow compliments — managing to look good in orange at all is something of a small miracle.
Noting how compliments from strangers and especially from celebrity strangers make people feel good, they offer a suggestion to Kris.
She should compliment random strangers from whom she has nothing whatsoever to gain.
Acting upon the dare, Kris compliments a beautiful young woman.
Kris lets out an audible “oh” as the friendly young woman gives her a hug.
It’s exciting to meet celebrities.
It’s even more exciting when they are the ones who initiate contact.
Kris (shadily) compliment’s a man’s outfit and ends up taking a puff of a cigarette, which is deeply gross.
She takes only the one puff and laments that she is going to get into trouble with her family.
Good. Peer pressure and shaming can be useful tools against people who make thier nicotine habit everyone else’s problem.
To be clear, Kris does not, but it looks like there’s a considerable amount of family pressure keeping it that way.
Kris then retaliates against her adult daughters by issuing a dare of her own.
She dares Khloe and Kourtney
This leads to the sisters accidentally offering wine to a minor.
In their defense … they’re at a wine-tasting in Napa. It was a fair assumption.
As you can see from viewing the clip yourself, it looks like moments of egging each other on may have been edited out.
That is no real surprise. Not everyone is willing to speak to strangers.
And those that are would probably want for any reluctance to be edited out before it’s broadcast.
It’s important to remember that each of these women has veto power over filmed content on the show.
And where was Kim during all of this friendly conversation with strangers?
She was on her phone on the comfy looking seats.
When challenged, Kim explains that her “dare” was attending a wine-tasting in the first place.
Kimberly is not especially big on alcohol, folks.
It sounds like multiple glass items were shattered as these women in long coats made their way around the table.
Yes, there are people there whose entire job involves cleaning up after rich lush visitors who do exactly that.
But any customer should work on making people’s jobs easier, not harder.
Still, it’s an entertaining clip, and it’s our hope that the attendants were tipped well for their trouble.
Late last year, we learned that Kourtney Kardashian had reached her breaking point with her sisters and with KUWTK.
Now, she’s shading her sisters, and their falling out has been years in the making.
As we all know, Kourtney Kardashian is taking a small step back from her previously prominent role on her family’s show.
This week, she told Health Magazine about her new, shifted priorities.
“I’m really trying to put my energy into things that are fulfilling and enjoyable,” Kourtney reasoned.
The shady implication here, of course, is that she finds iflming with her sisters to be unfulfilling and miserable.
Things have been getting progressively worse between Kourtney and her close-in-age sisters.
“I might need an attorney when that first episode comes out,” the eldest Kardashian child recently “joked.”
She added that things do “get better,” but that her relationship with Kim does get “a little violent.”
Fans have seen that in the alarming teasers. Yikes.
Khloe has also tried to take Kourtney to task, if less physically, over her on-screen antics.
“It’s really bothersome to Kim and I that we, like, bust our ass, and we film all the time,” she said when she confronted Kourt.
“We’re open. We don’t have a ton of boundaries, in our opinion, not in comparison to,” Khloe expressed, “it’s like Kourtney gives us nothing.”
At the time, they had snuck up on Kourt who was trying to have a business meeting without the cameras, for once.
Kourtney has opened up about how she feels that her role on the show impacted her real life.
“I shared everything from my relationship with Scott. Everything,” Kourt noted.
“To where all these people were involved in my relationship,” she said, “and it was horrible for our relationship.”
Kourtney expressed: “You know, I’ve spent so many years on camera, and I’m just in a different headspace.”
Kourtney then spoke her mind to producers, explaining: “I just don’t want to film every day and have it be a toxic environment.”
“We are all different people,” she reasoned. “We have different things that are important to each of us.”
Kourt affirmed: “My well-being is more important than the show. I’m not giving in”
She shared that she felt like “every day, almost, I was being picked on and criticized and I just couldn’t take it anymore.”
“You hear that??? If I don’t take my meeting as scheduled then I couldn’t launch my ULB KKW BEAUTY collection!” Kim livetweeted an episode.
She continued: “AND I had this oNLY time slot to plan my baby shower, but Kourt wouldn’t budge to help a sis out!”
“We all have our own priorities,” Kourtney not-so-subtly tweeted back. “Mine is being a mother.”
“And mine is not?” Kim asked. “The shoot was with our kids!!!!! My #1 priority is being a mother as well and I can work too, so can you!”
“What the f–k does that mean?? I didn’t want peace??” Khloe tweeted during another very public spat.
“Wait are you for real @kourtneykardash???” she asked.
“Do we want to get into why all of us were frustrated with you?” Khloe challenged. “You want to do this on twitter?”
“Please explain when I ever jumped in on that situation,” she wrote. “I’m the one who fucking called you to make sure you were good. “
Even beyond these very public Twitter brawls, the show itself has shown Kourtney getting increasingly distant.
Look, everyone hates when someone, including the Kardashians, demands that people put down their phones and act more “present.”
(Seriously, nobody likes that and nobody likes the person who’s saying it)
But Kourtney has been straight-up zoning out, phoning in her appearances on the show.
Kourtney is hot, but KUWTK is more about drama than it is about thirst.
If this were Real Housewives, Kourt would probably have been fired a year ago if not sooner for her on-screen behavior.
But we all knew that Kourt could only go for so long with her bad attitude without something changing.
Perhaps her reduced role will make her happier. Only time will tell.
Keeping Up With The Kardashians already aired a teaser for the new season in which Khloe receives some awkward news about Tristan.
That, it turns out, was nothing. Not when you comare it to Kim and Kourtney coming to blows — literally — as their sisterly spat turns violent.
“Why do you have to have an attitude?” Khloe asks — presumably speaking to Kourtney.
Her tone conveys exhasperation, frustration, and a degree of emotional exhaustion. She’s so tired of this.
While texting, Kourt retorts to Khloe: “Don’t involve yourself in business that is not yours.”
Kourtney sounds distracted by her phone during the exchange.
Meanwhile, Kim looks like she wants to butt in and is only holding back by the skin of her teeth.
Kourtney’s suggestion that Khloe butt out of her personal affairs sounds reasonable.
But Khloe’s clapback makes even more sense.
“Then don’t talk about it in front of me,” Khloe replies. You know what? That’s 100% fair.
Up next, we see the moment when Kim, over video chat, tells Khloe that she has invited Tristan Thompson to dinner.
Tristan is Khloe’s cheating baby daddy. His first cheating scandal was blown wide open one day before she went into labor.
Against all common sense, she took him back, only to once again be humiliated by another cheating scandal.
It’s no surprise to see how uncomfortable Khloe looks at this news. She and Tristan are co-parents, but a dinner invite is a bit much.
We see Scott Disick looking shocked, though of course out of context shots can mean anything.
Speaking of out of context, we then see beautiful Kendall speaking very wisely to someone, about someone else.
“She can’t just sit back and be like, ‘All right, I was wrong,'” Kendall says — and the promo would have you believe that she’s chatting with Khloe.
Kendall could be speaking about Kourtney, about Caitlyn, about Jordyn Woods for all that we know. Only time will tell.
“You have nothing to say!” Kourtney aggressively accuses Kim in an incredibly heated moment.
Kourt then throws a water bottle at her and shoves Kim, who is seated on the floor.
We then see Kim standing, admonishing Kourtney “Don’t ever come at me like that!”
As you can see in the video and in these gifs, things get physical oncea gain.
These are two grown women with seven children between them but they’re acting like poorly adjusted 8-year-olds.
Maybe it’s a lack of emotional maturity or maybe it’s the magic of having a camera on them that’s making them foolish.
Our guess? A little bit of both. Reality TV enhances what’s already there beneath the surface, you know?
Kendall then characterizes — without any useful context — that “buttons have been pushed.”
Keeping Up With The Kardashians is moving to Thursday nights.
The new season premieres in one month, on March 26 — auspiciously, that is Danielle Bregoli’s birthday.
There may be some sort of wailing and gnashing of teeth from some tabloids over how this airing on a different night spells doom for the show.
If it comes up, we’ll give the topic some coverage and some actual analysis if ratings take a nosedive.
