Khloe Kardashian And Lamar Odom Accused Of Operating A Fradulent Cancer Charity
Uh oh! What has already been a rough year for Khloe Kardashian is about to get worse. She was unceremoniously canned by Simon Cowell after one disastrous season as X-Factor host (after her nipple got some primetime exposure), rumors swirled that O.J. Simpson is her biological father, her struggles to get pregnant have been turned into farcical fodder on Kim And Kourtney Take Miami, and now her candy craving hubby Lamar Odom’s cancer charity is under fire for not actually giving any money to helping fight cancer.

Robert Kardashian’s Widow Releases His Diaries; Diaries Depict Kris Jenner As Total Monster
There’s a lot of eye-brow raising details about the alleged Robert Kardashian diaries his widow Ellen Kardashian gave In Touch Magazine this week. For example, the fact she gave them her late husband’s personal diaries at all. Or the fact that Ellen did not immediately turn said diaries over to the police as evidence of alleged child abuse committed by Kris Jenner. “Kris was kicking and beating her and said she was going to kill [Kim]!” a diary entry dated Aug. 24, 1989 claims. “Kim was hysterical.” Good lord!
The diaries, allegedly written by the Kardashian sisters’ late lawyer father, also claim that Kris Jenner had an affair with soccer player Todd Waterman and left her children at home for days a time. “She doesn’t leave a number in case of emergency. She doesn’t care!” Robert allegedly wrote on Dec. 15, 1989. “She left [the] kids and screwed all night!” If any of this is true, the Kardashians must have undergone years and years of family counseling in order to be friends with their mother at all. Or maybe they didn’t, which might explain at lot…
As you might recall, last January Ellen Kardashian told the media Robert had admitted to her that daughter Khloe Kardashian is not his biological child. Khloe’s paternity drama has continued until today. “The continuous spread of egregious misinformation is just plain wrong, and it would be irresponsible of me and a disservice to my family to not address it at this point,” Khloe said of the rumors last week. ‘I want to say loud and clear that these are toxic, baseless and disgusting rumors and none of them are true.” As for these new Kardashian rumors….toxic? Check. Disgusting? Check. Baseless? Well, if the diaries are handwritten, that proves beyond the shadow of a doubt that they are real, right? No one could possibly write something with a pen if it wasn’t true!
Kim And Kourtney Kardashian Diss Kris Humphries On Letterman, Khloe Fires Back At Paternity Rumors
They’ve been split for well over a year, but things haven’t settled much between Kris Humphries and the Kardashian Klan. His ex-wife Kim and her big sis Kourtney appeared on David Letterman last night to talk about a baby she’s having with a dude that’s not Kris, and to essentially discuss why he’s being a dick. So we imagine Kris probably switched over to Leno.
Kris has been complicating the legal actions to dissolve their marriage because he insists that the relationship was a sham and that Kim only married him to get a television special out of the deal. This sentiment is echoed by many detractors of the famous reality family, but Kourtney offered a particularly good comeback. “I think if she was going to do it for publicity, she’d pick someone that people knew,” she shot back to her haters. BOOM! Even Letterman seemed taken aback by the excellent point.
Kim Kardashian, Kanye West Buy $11 Million Mansion, Apparently Don’t Need Your Lousy Baby Pic Money
If Kim Kardashian’s baby turns out to be a boy, we are already bracing ourselves for Fresh Prince of Bel Air jokes now that she and Kanye West have reportedly bought an $11 million home in the ritzy neighborhood. According to TMZ, the couple are turning the 10,000 square-foot home into a 14,000 square foot “Italian-style villa,” complete with movie theater, salon, bowling alley, basketball court, and indoor and outdoor pools. With that many recreation options, we hope they don’t opt to stay home too much instead of hitting the town where we can catch site of them and Babye.
After plunking down money for a new home like that, we are still surprised they didn’t take that $3 million deal for baby pics. Must be nice to have enough money to take a moral stand like that! (Unless, of course, they’re still waiting for a better offer.) Anyway, if paying the mortgage gets tough, they could always turn to the latest tactic Khloe is trying out on the eBay site she and Lamar Odom started to raise money for his Catherine’s Kids Foundation. Khloe’s unloading old clothing, including a used sports bra!

Kim Kardashian Pregnant With Kanye West’s Baby, Somewhere Kris Humphries Weeps
Hold New Years, y’all, we’ve got even bigger news: Kanye West got Kim Kardashian pregnant! The rapper dropped the baby bomb last night during a concert at the Revel Casino in Atlantic City, where he refered to Kim as his “baby mama” in front of 5,000 fans, and gushed that “it’s the most amazing thing.” There had been rumors earlier in the week that Kim had joined the “extreme morning sickness” club, but stuff got real when fellow members of the Kardashian Klan took to Twitter to offer up their congrats.
“Been wanting to shout from the rooftops with joy and now I can!” wrote Kourtney Kardashian, who already has two young kids of her own. “Another angel to welcome to our family. Overwhelmed with excitement!” Sister Khloe also sent her well wishes. ”Keeping secrets is hard with so many family members! Especially when you are so freaking excited!!!!! LOVE is everything!!!” And of course, momager Kris Jenner got in on the action with a lame pun: ”Oh BABY BABY BABY!!”
Kim and Kanye have been dating since April, and they seem to have been pretty inseparable ever since. Kanye even wrote the song “Theraflu” for her, and rapped about her being his “perfect bitch.” We imagine they’re pretty pumped about the whole pregnancy thing, but we can think of one guy who might not be: Kim’s technical-husband Kris Humphries. The divorce still isn’t final on their 72-day-marriage, and he’s long made it clear that he intends to fight Kim in court. We’ll have to wait and see how these latest developments will affect the case. Getting pregnant with another dude’s baby while they’re still not divorced might be enough to rile the Brooklyn Nets player.

Celebrities Threaten To Delete Their Instagram Accounts, Instagram Hastily Amends Policy
By now you’ve heard the furor over Instagram’s new policy — which will take effect in a month — that basically allows them to own and sell users photographs without any compensation or prior permission. This happened after Facebook bought out the comapany. Apart from the issues of privacy, which has thousands up in arms, celebrities are also going nuts because the policy states that photographs of users can also be appropriated for advertising purposes. You know what that means. Precious endorsement money gone down the drain. As expected, the world also decided to take their frustration about this decision out on Twitter. Out of all the angry tweets floating about, we culled out the top 10 most mad tweets sent out by celebrities who stated they were going to delete their accounts.
The good news is that with all this fuss and also, all the thousands of retweets of celebrity messages saying they were done with Instagram, the company has had a change of heart. A new, long, apologetic and detailed statement is up on the Instagram blog, written by co-founder Kevin Systrom, saying that, “… As we review your feedback and stories in the press, we’re going to modify specific parts of the terms to make it more clear what will happen with your photos.” The most important point clarified is about advertising, as Systrom writes, “Advertising is one of many ways that Instagram can become a self-sustaining business, but not the only one. Our intention in updating the terms was to communicate that we’d like to experiment with innovative advertising that feels appropriate on Instagram.” And here comes the clarification: “Instead it was interpreted by many that we were going to sell your photos to others without any compensation. This is not true and it is our mistake that this language is confusing. To be clear: it is not our intention to sell your photos. We are working on updated language in the terms to make sure this is clear.”
There’s a lot more in there about ownership and privacy writes, so give it a read here. Until then, enjoy the celebrity tweets that most probably helped in Instagram scrambling to get this statement up! Yee-haw for star power!
