Kris Jenner Attempts to Cash in On Lamar Odom, Pisses Off Khloe Kardashian

The good news is, Lamar Odom is on the mend after the overdose that nearly claimed his life. The bad news is, he’s still enmeshed with the Kardashian family, which means everything he does is viewed as a possible source of TV ratings. We’ve already heard about Kris Jenner’s attempts to cash in on Odom’s overdose , but now she’s apparently taking things to the next level – and seriously pissing off Khloe Kardashian in the process. According to Radar Online, Kris recently presented Lamar with a contract which would ensure that footage of his recovery could be used on upcoming episodes of Keeping Up With the Kardashians. “Khloe confronted Kris after she found out that her mother tried to get Lamar to sign the contract in order to be able to use the footage that has been shot for next season’s show,” says an insider. “Kris knows that that having this be a huge part of Season 11 would be great for ratings because viewers will definitely tune in. Khloe thinks that Kris is being completely irrational about this.” Yeah, we’re gonna have to go ahead and side with Khloe on this one. Unfortunately, it seems everyone’s favorite Kardashian doesn’t quite know what she’s up against: “She told Kris that Lamar is not a part of the show any more and neither she, nor him, will make money off of this.” says the source. “But in the end, Kris knows that she is going to win this fight because she calls the shots.” Seriously, Khloe, think this one through. Standing between Kris and ratings is like taking a side of beef away from a lion. View Slideshow: Khloe Kardashian & Lamar Odom: Romance Rewind … Then Unwind

Jon Stewart Signs Massive Deal With HBO

Fans of Jon Stewart need not worry that they won’t see him as much since he left The Daily Show in August (having hosted since 1999). According to TVLine , Stewart inked a four-year production deal with HBO that includes a “short-form digital content” focused on current events through Stewart’s “unique prism,” which he will both produce and star in. The deal also includes “a first-look option for other film and TV” projects. “Jon Stewart led a revolution that changed the face of TV comedy on The Daily Show,” HBO president Michael Lombardo said in a statement. “He graced our network nearly 20 years ago, so we’re thrilled to welcome back his immense talents in this next chapter of his career.” Stewart also released a statement on the deal.  “I’m so excited to be working with Richard [Plepler], Michael and the entire HBO family,” he said. “Appearing on television 22 minutes a night clearly broke me. I’m pretty sure I can produce a few minutes of content every now and again.” This isn’t the first time Stewart has worked with HBO; he had a recurring role on the Larry Sanders Show , hosted George Carlin: 40 Years of Comedy , as well as his own stand-up show, Jon Stewart: Unleavened .

News from MMC Headquarters

This just in: Our fearless leader, Jay Penske (CEO and Founder of MMC, which is Movieline’s parent company), has announced another massive deal today , one that means MMC is selling mail.com to Europe’s largest Internet company, Germany’s United Internet Group. No, this doesn’t mean that if you have a mail.com email account you’re going to need to start figuring out how to spell ‘send’ auf Deutsch. The mail.com accounts will just migrate over to United Internet’s souped up GMX system, and you’ll still have access to all the excellent MMC content you’ve become accustomed to reading every day. Sure, there will be some necessary rebranding of MMC in the coming weeks, but other than that, little will change for you, our dear Movieline readers. Except maybe Movieline.de to bookmark in the near future.
