Thomas Markle: Filled with Love, Actual Joy Over Daughter’s Pregnancy

Thomas Markle has spoken out for the first time since learning his daughter is pregnant. As previously reported, someone close to Meghan’s controversial and sort of crappy father claimed a few days ago that Thomas was “absolutely delighted ” over the blessed Royal News. But now we’ve heard it directly from the polarizing man himself. “I was sitting in line waiting to cross the border [between the U.S. and Mexico, where he lives] when I heard the baby announcement on the car radio,” Thomas explained to the Daily Mail on Sunday. And how did he feel? What emotions ran through his body upon discovering that he would be a grandfather? “The first thing I thought about was holding Meghan in my arms as a newborn 37 years ago,” he said emotionally and profoundly, expounding as follows: “I thought, ‘My baby is having a baby.’ It was a very proud moment. “I was filled with love, joy and happiness for both my beautiful daughter and my son-in-law. A new baby is a blessing and I look forward to seeing a little Meghan or a little Harry.” Thomas, of course, has lamented many times in the past about how his relationship with Meghan is non-existent at this point. He has complained to the press about a lack of access to his daughter and even talked in detail about how unfair it will be for Meghan to keep him from his grandchild, presuming this is what will happen down the line. The Duchess, for her part, has never said such a thing. Or much of anything at all when it comes to her dad. Thomas has lived a quiet and reclusive life in Mexico for years. He was invited to the Royal Wedding in May, but bowed out at the last minute due to health problems and due to his embarrassment over paying members of the paparazzi to snap pictures of him. The relationship between father and child has been VERY strained ever since. According to an Us Weekly source, Meghan did not tell Thomas about the pregnancy ahead of the public announcement last Monday. “He found out the same time as the rest of the world,” this insider says. Kensington Palace alerted everyone to the pregnancy via an announcement that reads: Their Royal Highnesses The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are very pleased to announce that The Duchess of Sussex is expecting a baby in the Spring of 2019. Their Royal Highnesses have appreciated all of the support they have received from people around the world since their wedding in May and are delighted to be able to share this happy news with the public. On a tour of Australia in the days after this announcement, Harry and Meghan both made references to the forthcoming baby. We don’t yet know if it will be a boy or a girl. But we’ve heard he or she is due to be born in early May. “I don’t want anyone to feel sorry for me,” Thomas tells The Mail, adding of how he did or did not find out: “Me not getting a call is most likely a misunderstanding about my two back-to-back heart attacks and me missing the wedding. There has been so much misinformation and lies that perhaps made them mistrust me.” In conclusion, he had only kind things to say about Meghan and her journey to come: “I wasn’t surprised by the baby announcement. Meghan loves children and she and Harry have been talking about wanting a family from the start. I’m delighted for them both. “She’s always been wonderful with children and most of her friends have families so she’s used to being around kids. “She will make a fantastic mother.” View Slideshow: Meghan Markle: 19 Cruelest Things Her Own Family Has Said About the Duchess View Slideshow: Meghan Markle: 19 Cruelest Things Her Own Family Has Said About the Duchess

Matt Brown: Hiring a Sober Coach After Rehab

Alaskan Bush People star Matt Brown was forced into rehab following a family intervention . After about 30 days of treatment, he reportedly feels like he has things under control and is ready to leave rehab. But his family has serious concerns that if he halts treatment now, he could relapse again. Matt Brown checked into rehab in September. it has now been about a month. And RadarOnline   reports that Matt is itching to leave treatment and return home, believing that he is now well enough to do so. An insider says that Billy and Ami are talking Matt into “hiring a sober coach to work with him on the outside. That way, Matt can continue to work on this “after he gets out of rehab.” “His family has been visiting him,” the source reports. “And,” the insider reveals. “He is doing great.” Doing well in rehab does not always translate to having made a full recovery and being ready to go out into the world. “But,” the source says. “Matt thinks that he is ready to leave after 30 days.” His family has some serious concerns that he might be jumping the gun a little. The Browns have their doubts, the insider shares, “and everyone is urging him to stay in.” “He says that he is almost ready,” the source reveals. “And can handle this on his own now.” His confidence is certainly encouraging, but sometimes staying with a program for a little longer can do a world of good. You can love and trust someone while also encouraging them to keep getting help. “While his father and mother are fully supportive of him,” the insider begins. The source continues: “they are really hoping that Matt stay focused on his sobriety when he is out of rehab.” “And,” the insider adds, Billy and Ami hope and pray “that he continues going to meetings.” The source also says that Mat’s parents would like for Matt to keep up with meetings “and seeing a therapist.” This is not Matt Brown’s first time in rehab. After his previous stint getting help with his alcohol consumption in 2016, Matt was very frank with fans. “I could see myself spiraling,” he told his fans and followers. “I was more withdrawn,” Matt continued. “I was slower.” He also shared that “Things did not excite me the way that they used to.” While a lot of that may sound like depression symptoms, remember that alcohol is an intensely addictive depressant. Matt also spoke to People about his decision to again go to rehab. “I struggle with substance abuse,” Matt said in a straightforward manner. “And after a year of ups and downs,” Matt continued. “I decided to return to treatment.” Reports say that it was during the worst moments of his mother’s cancer battle that Matt began drinking again. “I am really grateful for everyone’s support,” he shared. “And,” Matt concluded, he has “hope to have my life back on track soon.” As we reported earlier this month, Alaskan Bush People was renewed for Season 9 . Apparently part of this upcoming season will focus upon Matt’s struggles with alcohol addiction and his journey back to sobriety. It takes a lot of bravery to admit that you have a problem and to seek help with it. Good for Matt for not only doing so, but agreeing to share his story with fans and viewers. He may inspire others to transform their own lives. View Slideshow: Alaskan Bush People: 13 Secrets They Don’t Want You to Know

Rihanna Reportedly Turned Down The Super Bowl Half Time Show Because She Stands With Colin Kapernick

Rihanna Turns Down NFL Offer For Superbowl Halftime Show Rih Rih told the NFL they could keep their lil Super Bowl halftime show and give it to Maroon 5 or whoever else because she stands with Kap. A source tells US Weekly that the league and the network were really gunning for the songstress to bless the Mercedes Benz stadium during halftime…but as long as the NFL is t reating its Black players like they don’t have the right to freely make a peaceful statement, she isn’t here for it. “The NFL and CBS really wanted Rihanna to be next year’s performer in Atlanta,” the insider reveals. “They offered it to her, but she said no because of the kneeling controversy. She doesn’t agree with the NFL’s stance.” WELP. As you’ve probably heard, Cardi B is in serious talks to take over a portion of the halftime performance, performing not only her feature with Maroon 5 but a few of her own #1 hits. Gotta applaud Rih for standing up for what she believes in, rather than chasing a check! Dave M. Benett/WireImage/Taylor Hill/WireImage

Kenya Moore Lashes Out at Friends, Family For Ghosting Wedding Registry

Even though Kenya Moore is out of The Real Housewives of Atlanta , she’s still living her life. Plus, she has a baby on the way. But apparently people weren’t RSVPing or reserving gifts for her baby shower, which caused Kenya to go into an epic rant. She feels like she’s being ghosted by her entire social circle, and she might just cancel the party. Over the weekend, former  The Real Housewives of Atlanta  star Kenya Moore vented her fury with a not-so-vague post on Instagram. “#Etiquette101,” Kenya began her diatribe. “If you cannot attend a monumental life changing event,” she instructed her followers. “It’s nice to send a gift anyway,” Kenya then asked: “Or it’s about class?” She did, at least, make it clear that her outrage isn’t over a lack of gifts being purchased – it’s the principle of the matter. “It’s not about a dollar amount,” she clarified. “It’s to show you care.” Kenya continued: “The same way the person cared to invite you to share a moment in their life.” “RSVP literally means RESPOND PLEASE in French,” she educated her fans. “So if you get an invitation,” she cautions. “Respond with a yes or no if you will be attending.” it seems very clear that she sending a wildly unsubtle message to her friends and family. According to Kenya Moore’s BuyBuyBaby registry, discovered by  RadarOnline , Kenya had reason to be upset. She had 73 items on her gift registry. Of them, at the time that she made that post, not even 5 of them had been selected. That number is reportedly up to 7 as of Wednesday. Some of Kenya’s suggested gifts were pricey. She listed a UPPAbaby VISTA 2018 Stroller for $929.99 and a Doona Infant Car Seat/Stroller for $499.99. But Kenya didn’t expect thousand-dollar gifts from everyone. She also listed $7.99 bib sets and a simple blanket for $29.99. RadarOnline  reports that Kenya feels totally snubbed over her baby shower. “Kenya is devastated none of her real friends are showing up for her and buying gifts off her registry,” the insider explains. The source goes on to say that Kenya feels “embarrassed,” and “heartbroken” over this slight. “And,” the insider adds, Kenya is also “mad.” It’s not like one person forgot to RSVP. She feels like she’s being ghosted by her entire social circle. “This is a big deal to her,” the source explains. Of course! She’s waited all her life to find the right man and to have this baby. “And,” the insider continues. “She feels like those close to her have let her down.” She feels like they just don’t care about this major milestone in her life. “She’s beyond furious,” the source dishes. And it’s possible that, if she feels that no one is coming, she might just cancel. Kenya’s husband, Marc Daly, has reportedly offered to purchase the entire list of gifts — all 73 items, as an appeasement. He hopes to “calm” her, the insider explains. The source adds that if it will “make her happy,” he’d be happy to do it. Plus, he wants to head off any fighting over this “and keep the shower as planned.” “Kenya thinks that’s sweet,” the insider admits.  If you sense a  but  coming, you’re absolutely right. “But,” the source continues. “She wants an authentic shower.” If she just wanted a bunch of stuff, she could have gone online and ordered it her own rich self. Kenya, the insider says, wants a real shower, the kind that comes “with everyone she knows coming to bow down.” She wants to feel like they’re there to honor her “and tell her how beautiful she looks.” After her rant about good manners, perhaps she will get her wish. But she may always feel haunted by the thought that they only came and bought gifts because she shamed them into it. View Slideshow: The Real Housewives of Atlanta: How Much Are the Stars Paid?

Ariana Grande and Pete Davidson: Will They Get Back Together?!

Star-struck millennial heart throbs Ariana Grande and Pete Davidson made ALL the headlines with their whirlwind romance this year. They were head over heels in love, no doubt about it. But all good things, as the saying goes, must come to an end in a matter of months. Blindsiding a nation, Ariana and Pete called off their engagement this weekend and one saw it coming … okay, not the case. We all saw it coming. But does that mean it’s over for good? Or is it a break that will do them some good, and lead them to a better place? That’s the million-dollar question THG’s staff debates below. Read our hot takes on this hot couple and then hit the comments below! YES by Emily Trainham Love is real, and that is a fact. And the cool thing about facts is that even if you don’t believe personally believe in them, that doesn’t mean they don’t exist. Ariana and Pete love each other. And you’re dang right that’s in the present tense. Do people get engaged after just a few weeks of dating if they don’t love each other? Do people adopt pigs together if they do not love each other?!  Do people get multiple tattoos dedicated to their significant other if they don’t love each other?  OK, sure, love is not a requirement for any of these things … you can be mentally unstable and do all of them just fine. But Ariana and Pete did them out of love, and that’s just a fact. Listen to “Pete Davidson” on Ariana’s new album and try to say it’s not. They just broke up, and that’s unfortunate, but sometimes the greatest romances take some time to come together, and it’s obvious that now is not the best time for Ariana.  She still seems to be reeling from the death of Mac Miller, and it’s likely that she’s still dealing with the trauma from the Manchester bombing as well. So maybe she needs to take some time to heal. Maybe a few months, maybe a few years. Maybe she’ll date around during that time, and maybe Pete will, too. But as she sang in her song dedicated to him, he’s her soulmate. And soulmates are forever. Their time will come, but sadly, their time is not now. Keep the faith, Grandson lovers.  Love shall prevail. NO by Hilton Hater Neither Pete Davidson nor Ariana Grande were involved in THE MOST DRAMATIC ROSE CEREMONY of all-time… but their relationship has still followed the trajectory of those who get together on The Bachelor. The comedian and the artist were never dating in a traditional sense of the term. They went out. They goofed around. They got all silly on social media. They were almost, literally, a walking Saturday Night Live skit. It was all cute and fun and we’re sure quite enjoyable for Davidson and Grande, but then real life interjected: Mac Miller died of a drug overdose . Sources have all indicated that Grande (understandably) took the death of her ex-boyfriend very hard. Ariana’s been in a dark place for about a month now. Such a trauma could spell the end of many relationships, but especially one such as this; one essentially built on partying and cosplay. There’s simply no sturdy base here for anything as dramatic as a loved one’s death. Mix in the awkwardness of that loved one being Grande’s previous serious boyfriend… and here we are. Davidson may be equipped with a 10-inch long penis, but he simply isn’t equipped with the emotional maturity to deal with a tragedy of this nature. YES by Simon Delott This summer, in the wake of Ariana’s engagement to Pete Davidson , I was so confident that they would stay together. Now, I’m eating crow. I didn’t see this coming. “Sociologists at NYU used decades of statistical data from 4,500 families and found that couples in which the man was much taller than the woman were more likely to stay together,” I wrote at the time. “Folks, Ariana Grande is 5 feet tall. Pete Davidson is 6-foot-3,” I continued. “Those 15 inches could see them through to the end.” We all know that the best way to discuss love and romance is using cold hard numbers and statistical analysis. I’m not sure where I went wrong. After all, if a spur-of-the-moment relationship between a pop star with baggage and a comedian who’s never met an impulse on which he didn’t act can’t work out … what hope is there for the rest of us? In all seriousness, though, the cause of their breakup was reportedly largely Mac Miller’s tragic death earlier this fall. The passing of Ariana’s very recent ex, so soon after her return to the public eye, left her wounded. It was all too much. But that doesn’t mean that these two won’t ever get together again. They’re both still young, and it sounds like this breakup was as amicable as a dropped engagement can possibly be. My real question is this: Is Ariana going to sing the song, “Pete Davidson,” when she goes on tour in the future? There’s no non-awkward way to either sing or skip that song unless they get back together. Just saying. NO. by Tyler Johnson No. The relationship between Ariana Grande and Pete Davidson was doomed from the start. After all, how could a singer with a four-octave vocal range ever relate to a comic whose style is so painfully one-note? Let’s forget for a moment that Pete mocked the Manchester bombing that traumatized Ariana and so many of her fans. And let’s ignore, for now, the fact that Davidson said he sympathizes with the man who groped Grande or that he beamed with pride over the fact that Bill Clinton ogled Ari at a freakin’ funeral. (As a guy with a Hillary Clinton tattoo, that must have been an extremely confusing time for Pete.) What we’re focusing on today is the fact that Grande is clearly a woman who’s drawn to virtuoso talent, and despite spending the past four years in the best comedy college imaginable, Davidson (rather ironically) comes up short when his abilities are compared to Ariana’s. On a more serious note, insiders have claimed that the breakup was at least partially the result of Ariana’s grief over the death of her previous boyfriend, the immensely gifted Mac Miller. There’s been a lot of talk about Pete and Ari’s perceived insensitivity toward their exes in publicly admitting that they’d secretly longed for each other for years (in other words, since well before they were single). To be clear, both parties’ duties to their exes ended the moment they broke things off – but who wants to live in a world where we’re all just fulfilling our minimum obligations to one another? It’s not hard to see how Ariana might have wound up with some seriously conflicted feelings – as well as some major doubts – in the wake of Miller’s overdose. But in the end, out guess is that a talent gap wider than Pete and Ariana’s height difference also played a significant role in bringing this ill-fated romance to a halt. View Slideshow: Pete Davidson Answers the Giant Penis Question Once and for All And unless Pete drops his Adam Sandler impression and develops a comedic identity of his own, he’d probably be better off dating someone who doesn’t prioritize talent the way Ariana seems to.

Bill Cosby, Enraged, Fires Yet Another Attorney from Appeals Team

Bill Cosby is in prison at last. But he doesn’t intend to stay that way. While Cosby furious compares #MeToo literal terrorists , he has saved some of that anger for his attorneys. He’s reportedly fired one of his lawyers RadarOnline reports that Bill Cosby has fired attorney Joseph Green from his legal team. Green was the lawyer who represented him during the sentencing process. Cosby is said to have made this decision while “in a fit of rage.” “He’s had it,” an insider tells the tabloid about why Cosby chose dismissal. The disgraced former comedian apparently believes that he can find other, more capable attorneys end his incarceration. Court documents suggest that Cosby has hired two new lawyers out of Harrisburg, Pennsylvania to assist with his appeals. Cosby is said to have referred to his own legally blind status when using a common turn of phrase. “Mr. Cosby said he can’t have the ‘blind leading the blind,’” the source reports. “And” as a result, the source says, he “told Mr. Green to take a hike over the phone.” So what brought on this termination? Apparently, Cosby wasn’t satisfied with Green’s work ethic. The source explains that Cosby gave Green the boot “when he found out he wasn’t working around the clock to get him out.” “Mr. Cosby told his legal team that the Pennsylvania groundhog could’ve done a better job,” the insider says. Cosby, whose net worth has been estimated to be in the hundreds of millions, is hoping that his fortune can provide an incentive for other attorneys. “He’s offering $250,000.00, cash,” the source claims. This alleged offer is available “to anyone who guarantees his freedom and follows through.” To be clear, we don’t think that Cosby means a literal jailbreak. He wants to walk out a free man, not a fugitive. In April, Cosby was found guilty of three counts of aggravated indecent. This was in the case of the drugging and sexual assault of Andrea Constand. In September, he was sentenced to 3-to-10 years in prison. It seems unfortunately likely that Constand is the only one of Cosby’s accusers who will get justice in court. Some may find a measure of consolation in the knowledge that Cosby may live the rest of his life behind bars. Cosby has apparently been complaining that this is all a miscarriage of justice. In fact, he is reportedly pushing to have his conviction and sentence thrown out . And he wants the judge out, too. This sounds like a standard appeal to our admittedly not-legal-expert ears. Camille Cosby, who has stood by him through all of this, is said to be approaching things from a different angle. She apparently wants the judge investigated for “misconduct.” Which is very vague and unlikely to go the way that she wants. Even if Bill Cosby finds the most shrewd up-and-coming attorney who manages to find loopholes within loopholes and get him out … it’ll take a while. The wheels of justice are slow . Andrea Constand waited 14 years for this conviction. Appeals can take years. Just look at Cosby’s fellow disgraced public figure, Jared Fogle. That guy is still filing appeals from behind bars. For now, Cosby might want to get comfortable in prison and just do his best to avoid getting slapped by airborne chicken patties . View Slideshow: Bill Cosby: A Look at His Life Behind Bars

Luann de Lesseps: I’m Way Too Busy to Be an Alcoholic!

There have been a number of insulting claims about Luann de Lesseps’ rehab stay . Some of her co-stars think she only sought treatment to stay out of jail. But Luann herself made a claim, just before she returned to rehab this summer, that she is “too busy to be an alcoholic.” The timing was … not ideal. Recovery Today Magazine ‘s podcast has a pretty specific demographic. That is why this particular interview — one of so many that Luann did over the summer — didn’t immediately catch everyone’s attention. But Radar Online reported this week on the contents of the July interview in which she claimed that she was “too busy to be an alcoholic.” “My journey is so long,” Luann says. “Sixteen years ago,” she narrates. “I was in the Swiss Alps and I had a car accident with my children in the car.” “I fell down the side of the mountain and my Range Rover rolled off the side of the road,” she describes the harrowing event. “I thought that I killed myself and killed my children,” Luann shares. “I had just come from a tea party with Elle McPherson.” When asked if she had been drinking, she replied: “No! I was coming from a tea party. I was not drinking there. No.” “Well,” Luann reconsiders. “I was having red wine at dinner. It is European. You know, red wine at dinner. Red wine.” To be fair, that is pretty standard if she consumed it in moderation. Luann says that, back then, “I never had a problem with alcohol.” “But,” Luann says. “I did have a problem as of recent.” She then explains that this problem arose “because I was self-medicating.” Specifically, she was self-medicating as a coping mechanism for the lingering trauma of that ghastly brush with death in the Alps. “Listen, I am too busy to be an alcoholic,” Luann declares. She then says, curiously: “I am not an alcoholic because alcohol doesn’t work for me.” After that odd statement, she explains how she began to use substances following that horrifying accident. “I had post-traumatic stress from the accident,” Luann reveals. “Ever since then,” Luann continues. “I woke up at 3 o’clock in the morning.” “So, I would shake,” Luann confesses. “So I started taking sleeping pills and Xanax to get myself together.” “But I was not a big drinker,” at the time, Luann says. “I was a mother, a wife, a countess.” It was more recently that she began to struggle after using alcohol to cope. “Being arrested and going to jail was bottom,” Luann says. “Going to jail was rock bottom.” “The night that I got arrested, I shouldn’t have gotten arrested,” she claims. “But it was the perfect storm,” Luann continues. “Life was like, ‘you got a problem, girlfriend.’ I chose to go to rehab.” Luann then explains why she says that she should not have gone to jail after the December 2017 incident. “It happens to people all the time,” she says. “People should be in the hospital, not in jail. I was like, ‘Why am I here?’ I’m only drunk.” It was … not her best interview. And it happened right before Luann relapsed and then returned to rehab. We think that we can translate some of her statements, however. When Luann says that she’s too busy to be an alcoholic, she’s reminding herself as much as anyone else that alcohol would interfere with her life. When she describes her accident, we’re inclined to believe that alcohol was not a factor in the crash. (She had her kids with her, folks — the alcoholism came later.) When she says that she shouldn’t have been arrested, she means that health issues such as addiction should be treated, not criminalized. In any event, here’s hoping she gets treatment, and it takes.

Miranda Lambert: Jealous of Gwen and Blake, Drinking Her Pain Away (Report)

In the estimation of many country music fans, Miranda Lambert’s reputation has taken quite a tumble over the course of the past year. In truth, the singer’s decline in popularity probably began back in 2015 with her divorce from Blake Shelton . But the split seemed amicable, and both parties encouraged their fans to respect their privacy and show some compassion. Over the past few months, however, Miranda’s reputation has been dealt a series of crushing blows, largely due to her short-lived relationship with Evan Felker . In the press, Felker was often described as Lambert’s “married boyfriend,” and that’s not terribly far from the truth. Though Felker and his wife were estranged at the time of his relationship with Lambert, reports portraying Miranda as a heartless homewrecker persisted online. Now, in the wake of her breakup with Felker, sources close to Lambert are concerned that she’s developed a fixation with her most famous ex — and that she’s dealing with it in a decidedly unhealthy fashion. “Miranda can’t stand seeing her ex-husband so in love with Gwen, planning a wedding, [and] co-parenting Gwen’s sons,” an insider close to the situation tells Life & Style . “They’re worried her drinking is out of control and that she’s just numbing the pain of another failed relationship,” the source continues. “Friends and family have been so concerned that they’ve been considering an intervention.”  The informant claims Miranda has been hitting the bottle hard for quite some time, and in recent weeks, her loved ones have become seriously concerned for her well-being. “Miranda’s hard partying went into overdrive toward the end of her [summer] Bandwagon tour, around the time of her breakup with Evan.” the insider explains. “Ever since then, she’s been on an alcohol tear to deal with the heartbreak,” the source added, noting that Miranda has been “throwing down whiskey and wine from her own Red 55 winery like mad to cope with her forlorn state.”  On the bright side, boozing her way through a series of bad breakups certainly boosts Miranda’s country cred. And the concerned source even worked in an endorsement for Lambert’s winery! Now, that’s a lesson in synergistic poromotion. We kid, of course.  If the situation is as serious as the insider claims, we certainly hope Miranda finds the help she needs. Part of the problem is that Lambert has embraced the image of a self-styled country outlaw, coping with her troubles with the help of a bottle and guitar. “I am who I am. I am honest about being flawed. That’s all I can be, you know? I cuss. I drink,” the singer said in a June interview. “I get divorced and get my heart broken. I break hearts.”  But the insider says Lambert is hiding behind a carefully constructed facade and secretly longs for the life that Blake and Gwen have built for themselves: “That’s the life Miranda dreams of and is just another reason she’s been drowning her sorrows,” the insider confessed. “It’s all just been getting worse day by day.” View Slideshow: Blake Shelton Celebrates 40th Birthday With Gwen Stefani: PHOTOS

Kylie Jenner: I Don’t Need Family Anymore! I’m a Billionaire!

New mom Kylie Jenner has been stunning the world with her post-baby bikini body , but she’s more focused on her baby and her business these days. In fact, she may be a little too busy to slum it with her siblings on the reality show that catapulted them all to stardom. A new report says that Kylie wants to drop Keeping Up With The Kardashians because she’s a billionaire. RadarOnline reports that Kylie may quit KUWTK . (Try saying that five times rapidly) “Kris is desperate to keep Kylie on the show,” the insider warns. The show is built on the power of their entire family. Unlike, say, Rob, viewers would miss seeing Kylie. “And,” the source says, Kris “thinks that she is essential to renegotiating” how much they are paid and how much control the family maintains over production and editing. That is, after all, something that Momager Kris will need to do “after the contracts end.” But Kylie’s status as the world’s most powerful influencer may not be the leverage that Kris is seeking. “But,” the insider notes. “She has a billion dollars already.” Or close enough. Kylie Cosmetics is worth enough to make your eyes bleed, and the value keeps going up every year. “She doesn’t need the show at all anymore,” the source reveals. That could spell trouble for the family’s signature series. Kylie hasn’t needed the show for a while. But now, she just has other priorities. “Kylie wants to focus on her baby and her cosmetics line instead,” the insider explains. Reality stardom has reportedly been getting old. Probably because she’s been at it for half of her life. “She hasn’t been into the show in a while,” the source reports. “And,” the insider continues. “It just has been really difficult for her to fit it into her already super busy schedule.” If this report is true, it is understandable that Kylie feels this way. Kim, Kourtney, Khloe, and Kris all signed up for Keeping Up With The Kardashians . They were grown adults. They had a choice. Kylie was just a kid. This life path has been massively rewarding, but it’s not something that she chose for herself. Kylie Cosmetics, however, is her baby. Stormi, in a much more literal sense, is also her baby. It would make a lot of sense for her to focus on the things that she really wants in life instead of upon the things that were thrust upon her. Especially if she doesn’t need that reality show paycheck to pay the bills. But let’s look at this from another angle — and consider whether this report is true. First of all, Kylie may feel some sense of familial obligation to help keep the show going. She’s certainly helped out her family before. (Well, she helped out Rob before — he’s arguably the only adult in the family who really needs help with anything) Second of all, we should remember that all of the Kardashian projects are inextricably tied to their respective brands. That means that their bodies, their social media presence, their products, and their reality television appearances do not exist within a vacuum. Kylie may fear that abandoning her family’s show could eventually cause her company to lose value. There’s another huge factor. Back in July, we learned that Life of Kylie was renewed . If Kylie is really too fatigued to continue being on a show on which she is part of an ensemble cast, is she really going to keep doing a show on which she is the star?
