Keeping Up With the Kardashians Recap: Under Pressure

On Sunday night’s Keeping Up with the Kardashians, Kris Jenner the momager reared her obnoxious head early and often. On Monday’s special Memorial Day episode? More of the same. “I am in L.A. for literally 24 hours and my mother is on the phone handling business calls,” Khloe Kardashian-Odom laments during a family dinner. Pretty much. Even Kim Kardashian, the woman without an original thought, weighs in: “My mom is losing focus of the family time that we just really want.” How bad did it get? Let’s find out in THG’s recap! “My divorce has been really draining, really stressful,” Kim laments. “I just want to leave this chapter of my life behind me.” Girl, it was more like a foreword. No way 72 days of a fake marriage makes up a full chapter. Minus 100 . Khloe’s advice? Do something SILLY! Like put on a wig! Man, the writers are getting more creative by the week over at E! Kim is basically a mannequin who reads cue cards. Eh, not bad for a girl devoid of personality or talent. Plus 15 . “I’m kind of obsessed with 007.” – Kim. That was her nickname for Ray. Plus 5 . EDITOR’S NOTE: It wasn’t really. But that would’ve been awesome. Rob Kardashian is looking for his own place and surprise surprise, his mom and sisters are taking over the process. Fortunately, someone woke Bruce up from his anti-aging Botox chamber and had him go house hunting. Plus 10 . Or not. “When it comes to houses, I definitely want my mom’s opinion and not Bruce’s,” Rob says. Rock. Hard place. We feel ya. Wash . Rob implies he had no father figure growing up. Ouch … Minus 20. “I think that we’re definitely going to have to pry the Blackberry out of her hand,” Kendall Jenner says of her mom. Please do. Plus 10 . Kourtney Kardashian and Kendall stage an intervention to force Kris to take time for herself and their family. Long overdue. Plus 15 . Honestly Kris. Even materialistic, fame-obsessed girls need a mom more than a manager, even if you fancy yourself a “mogul.” Minus 20 . “You’re starting to freak me out a little bit with these wigs,” Kris tells Kim, who can’t even act real on a reality show. Minus 30 . Kris invites Rob over to see videos Bruce made of him at his track meets, etc., growing up, helping him see the light. Aww. Plus 35 . They hug it out. Slightly awkward, but another Plus 5 . EPISODE TOTAL: -75. SEASON TOTAL: -295 .

Will and Jada Smith: Going Strong, 15 Years Later!

For Will Smith and his wife Jada Pinkett Smith, it’s all about putting family first and being by each other’s side. Sounds cliche, but it really does work. For nearly 15 years, in their case. “We make the effort to always put the family first,” Smith said at last weekend’s Men in Black III premiere in New York City. “Being there for each other and being present with our kids … I take being a parent very seriously.” Will is father to Trey, 19, from a previous relationship, and Jaden, 13, and Willow, 11, with Jada. He considers his marriage and children his top priority, and flew back to L.A. from New York nearly every weekend while filming MIB3 . He and Jada will celebrate their 15th anniversary in December. Despite rumors of their divorce lately – which Pinkett Smith recently said were ridiculous – Will says that, as a couple, they’re as strong as ever. “What’s helped us is being supportive, no matter what the situation is,” the actor says of his better half. “I’m so lucky to have someone like Jada.” “She’s really an incredible woman , wife and mother.” What he loves the most about her is “she is just absolutely hardcore, like she absolutely is unfazed by the weight and the pressures of life. She is so calm and cool and easy in any situation. She can bear anything, and I just love that about her.” [Photo: WENN.com]
