SplashNews Knocked up or nah??? Does This Confirm Khloe Kardashian’s Pregnancy? Andy day now Khloe Kardashian’s going to confirm the obvious; that she’s expecting her first child with Tristan Thompson . Until then, Kardashian stans are continuing to check for confirmation via Khloe’s social media. Most recently, Khloe sent out a message on Snapchat and fans SWORE they caught a clue about her big news. In the Snap you can see a pillow reflected in her glasses in the shape of a U, sparking rumors that Khloe has a pregnancy pillow. Look for yourself; can you see it? Khloe’s been doing a pretty decent job keeping her pregnancy under wraps and was recently spotted at LAX hiding her tummy in an oversized coat. SplashNews Do YOU think that Khloe ( and Kylie) will confirm pregnancy news before the New Year???
Even though she made the mistake of spending a decade of her life cleaning up Scott Disick's vomit , Kourtney Kardashian still has a lot going for her. She has three lovely kids, enjoys a “career” that requires her to do literally nothing except live out her lavish life in front of a camera crew, and probably owns about a dozen pairs of shoes that cost more than your car. But apparently, there's one area in which Kourtney is sorely lacking. It seems the girl can't play a prank to save her life. In a preview clip for this week's episode of Keeping Up With the Kardashians, Kourtney and Khloe attempt to punk a sleeping Kendall Jenner. Their plan is at once simple and intricate: Kourt and Khloe plan to cram some chocolate in Kendall's butt crack in hopes of making the poor girl think she “sharted” herself in her sleep. Like we said, not a terribly complex plan, and if executed properly, it probably has amusing payoff. But that's the problem–you've got a couple first-timers attempting a prank with a pretty high degree of difficulty. Granted, we've never tried to put food in a sleeping person's ass, but we imagine it's pretty hard to do so without waking them up. This is a classic case of flying too close to the sun and Kourt and Khloe pay for their hubris in the end. It's like a Greek tragedy, but with butt chocolate. Next time, just draw dicks on her face and be done with it. Check out the failed fake shart below, and watch Keeping Up With the Kardashians online so you don't have to watch this scene out of context. We kid. Noting ever happens on this show.

Khloe Kardashian has apparently found religion. The reality star has shared a new Instagram message and photo in which she praises The Big Man Upstairs and, as some may interpret it, confirms that she’s with child. Along with the heart-themed picture above, Khloe wrote the following late this week: Lord, Thank You for giving me the health and strength I need to overcome every stronghold in my life and for loving me unconditionally in the times that I may fail you. Amen Khloe has always been among the more open and honest members of her family. She’s discussed her difficulties conceiving in the past and also been candid about her struggles with weight gain. But this post still represents something new. We can’t think of the last time Khloe cited religion and/or God in such an overt manner. It’s therefore hard not to imagine that this is a veiled reference to the fact that Kardashian is pregnant with her first baby . It would certainly make sense for Khloe to express gratitude toward God under such a circumstance. Not only did she try and fail to get pregnant for many years while married to Lamar Odom… she then had to deal with his drug abuse and infidelity and the couple’s subsequent divorce. Meanwhile, sister Kim Kardashian was happily married with two kids. Kendall Jenner was a successful model, Kylie Jenner (who is also somehow pregnant) started a wildly successful beauty empire. All the while, Khloe was doing just fine for herself, of course. But she may very well have wondered when she would catch her major break. It’s clearly now come in the form of a loyal boyfriend named Tristan Thompson and a tiny boy or a girl in her womb. Granted, neither Khloe nor Thompson has actually confirmed this piece of exciting news just yet. However, nearly every reliable celebrity gossip and news outlet has reported on it, without anyone in the Kardashian family coming out and shooting the rumor down. Thompson and Kardashian also shared THIS CUTE PHOTO mere days after the story broke, which we read as an admission they are as happy as two expecting parents can be. But if you didn’t believe the pregnancy scoop before, you almost have to now, right? Following this faith-based Instagram message from the very likely mother-to-be? “There is no jealousy here,” a source close to the family told People Magazine of Kylie being pregnant, Khloe being pregnant AND Kim expecting a child via surrogate. Add this insider: “No one is worried about anyone stealing their thunder. It’s not dramatic like that… “They’re focusing on the babies. Everyone is genuinely happy about what’s happening.” View Slideshow: Khloe Kardashian is Pregnant, and Twitter Has SO MANY FEELINGS
If you’re a fan of her family, then you’re no doubt aware by now that Joy-Anna Duggar is pregnant with her first child . Of course, everything the Duggars do these days is surrounded by controversy, and Joy-Anna’s pregnancy is no different. And how could a pregnancy announcement from a married woman be controversial, you ask? Well, most of the gossip has to do with the fact that Joy-Anna got pregnant just three months after marrying Austin Forsyth , and some fans believe she looks like she’s further along than that. Given the strict nature of the Duggar courtship rules that forbid premarital sex, if Joy-Anna did get pregnant before her wedding, many of the family’s most pious followers would consider the situation to be downright scandalous. And it’s not just sex that’s off-limits to unmarried Duggars. Any physical contact beyond hand-holding is considered ungodly, and for reasons we don’t quite understand, the strict enforcement of these rules is part of what makes the Duggars so popular. Any indication that the whole “courtship” thing is just a front would leave patriarch Jim Bob with some serious explaining to do. So we get why it’s fun to speculate that Joy-Anna and Austin may have given into the devilry of lust before they walked down the aisle. Unfortunately, the situation has led to some intense scrutiny of Joy-Anna’s body, which is decidedly not cool. “She’s a bigger woman than her sisters,” one fan wrote on Joy-Anna’s Instagram announcement. “She’s thick and she has bigger breasts, and they say bigger women show more. My mom looked like she was having triplets with me, but in fact it was because of the fluid around me when I was a fetus,” she further elaborated. It’s worth pointing out that that’s a comment from a fan who’s defending Joy-Anna by arguing that she’s being honest about her pregnancy timeline. With friends like that, who needs enemies? Look, in all likelihood, if Joy-Anna got pregnant before she got married, we would never find out about. The Duggars control the release of information about their private lives more effectively than any reality TV family, and they would never admit to one of their children getting knocked up out of wedlock. So speclate away, but bear in mind that putting photos of Joy-Anna’s pregnant body under a microscope is cringe-worthy at best, repugnant at worst.

Khloe Kardashian’s opening up … just not about her plans to have a baby with Tristan Thompson . For the 10 year anniversary of Keeping Up With The Kardashians , Khloe is reflecting on her experiences over the last decade. And including her regrets. As it turns out, there are two things in particular that Khloe wishes that the show had never filmed anything about. For the 10 year anniversary of Keeping Up With The Kardashians , Khloe Kardashian penned an essay for Glamour that was long and very informal. (That’s not a dig — this post is also informal) She talks about how it all began. “At my mom’s house, we’d always have these big family dinners. Ryan Seacrest came to one and was like, ‘You guys are crazy. You need to be on TV.’ My mom and my sister Kim wanted to do the show, but Kourtney and I were really against it.” That really fits with their respective characters — in the past, anyway. Also, if you ever want to know who should shoulder the blame for the Kardashians, you have your answer. Ryan . “We were like, ‘No — we love our little life. We love what we’re doing.’ But Ryan said, ‘We need the whole family or nobody at all.’ So my mom kind of sold it to us as a great commercial for our stores. We were like, ‘Ugh, fine.’” Note that Kendall and Kylie, it sounds like, never even got a word in. At the beginning, Khloe says, she was a novice about being a reality star. “I’d still go to the Fantastic Sams across the street from my store a few times a week to get a blow-dry for $25. I did my own makeup.” That explains why she looked so much better on Law & Order: LA in her one little cameo appearance but so often wasn’t flattered by camera lighting elsewhere. If you’re going to be on TV, folks, you need to have your makeup done by a professional. (A lot of male politicians seem terrified at this prospect, but even they bite the bullet or the cameras will make a 50 year old man look like he’s at death’s door) “Occasionally I’ll catch an old episode and notice how we all talked in these baby voices. It’s crazy if you listen to it now. I think maybe we did it because we were nervous.” A lot of people use vocal fry when they speak, and it’s not out of nervousness. “We film six days a week, 12 to 18 hours a day, every single day.” Yeah, that’s a bonkers schedule. Though, to be fair, the family is worth hundreds of millions of dollars, so … most would say that it’s worth it. “When you compile that much footage into 13 or 14 44-minute episodes, you can find a lot of drama. Not every episode is juicy to us; it’s only juicy to the audience.” Recently, not that much has been juicy to audiences, either. But every now and then, the show surprises you. But now we get to Khloe’s regrets. “Things like Kim’s robbery or Caitlyn’s transition? That’s the kind of stuff we wish we had never filmed.” That makes a lot of sense. Filming things around what will hopefully be the single most traumatic incident in Kim’s life is … of questionable taste. A lot of people get filmed during or after major traumas (like after the destruction and death of Hurricane Harvey … or, soon, Hurricane Irma). Most people don’t voluntarily film themselves in the aftermath of trauma. Not that extensively, anyway. As for Caitlyn’s transition. … It was important for America to see a tremendously famous trans woman, despite the backlash. Caitlyn Jenner, as it turns out, is still a terrible role model. That’s why she gets confronted by more authentic trans activists who have been fighting for their rights a lot longer, and who don’t support politicians who oppose their rights. Khloe kind of exists in the celebrity bubble, though. Maybe she just meant that she wishes that they hadn’t given Caitlyn so much air time over the years. Currently, Caitlyn is somewhat estranged fromt he family — Cait and Kim Kardashian haven’t spoken in 9 months . Khloe’s meaning isn’t especially clear. Khloe also gets into how things aren’t planned. “We aren’t ever like, ‘Oooh! Let’s do this for season nine.’ This is our life, and these are the things that happen. And it’s funny — when we decide not to shoot things, people feel slighted. But when we film too much, they’re like, ‘Oh, you never should have filmed that.’ It’s a catch-22.” Reality storylines are generally based upon what’s actually happening, with a little dramatic flare sprinkled in and maybe a few “challenges” suggested by the producers to stir up some extra drama, if needed. What Khloe’s getting at with the catch-22 thing is that the Kardashians are a family that many people love to hate. There’s no winning in those circumstances. “When it comes to our drama, we are a large, blended family. If you put a microscope over any family for 10 years, you’re bound to find cracks in the foundation. That’s just the name of the game, and we’re strong enough to endure it.” That’s been their real key to success. Taking the hate and turning it into money. View Slideshow: Khloe Kardashian Gym Selfies
Jacob Roloff is not a huge fan of Little People, Big World. We know that because he’s made it ridiculously, astoundingly clear ever since he quit the show. Jacob dislikes his family’s show so much that after he quit, he also cut contact with his parents and his siblings for a long time. Thankfully, he’s mended his relationships with the rest of the Roloffs — he’s said as much, and we know it for sure thanks to his adorable presence at Molly’s wedding last weekend . But still, his hatred for the show remains. In some new excerpts from his very first book, Verbing, he explains some of the issues he has with Little People, Big World. In one section, he writes “The first few years of doing this show were pretty alright, just a few (dozen) extra people around the house and farm.” “The actual filming in that beginning period was subject to the events unfolding, that is, something happened then the cameras came running.” But then, “After the few first years of testing the waters, the whole process did a sort of flip where events became subject to the filming, that is, became more orchestrated than spontaneous, in a weird indistinguishable mix.” “That phase went on for a while, too, until turning into the dominantly orchestrated ordeal it is today.” This part isn’t really anything we haven’t heard before — we know his main issue with the show is that he believes it’s too staged. He feels so strongly about the issue that in a rant he made on Instagram last year, he even said that “The family that is filmed is not my family.” They are the Roloff Characters and I have scarcely anything in common with them, nor do I want to be a character myself.” But in these new excerpts from Jacob’s book, he delves a little deeper into the issue. “Chief and simply, it forced me to grow up faster than normal (whatever a normal rate may be),” he writes. “Doing on the fly interviews and formal ones alike forced me to answer certain questions about myself, my family and my life that I normally might not have wondered about for some years.” Sounds pretty tough, right? Especially when you think about how young Jacob was when he was on the show. “One the one hand,” he explains, “I’m stuck in front of a lens, symbolizing the millions of people that watch(ed) our show, left to my own devices of coping and getting attention that usually panned out great for The Brass in L.A.” “On the other hand, instantly, it forced me to evolve mentally way faster than I would have, I think, under circumstances of less pressure.” So it sounds like he’s coming to terms with the whole thing — and thank goodness, right?

Can you believe we’re coming up on the one year anniversary of Khloe Kardashian and Tristan Thompson?! It seems like it was just yesterday when we saw their Halloween makeout session and thought “huh, another basketball player, really?” But it’s true: it was early last September when we first heard that Khloe and Tristan were dating , which means that August of 2016 was when the magic happened. And, according to all the gushing Khloe did in a new interview with the Daily Mail, it looks like all that magic is still happening. “My boyfriend is very protective of me,” she says of Tristan. “Feeling loved and validated and secure is a huge thing.” She adds that he’s also “protective of my entire family,” which she thinks is “beautiful.’ “And I love that everything we do is as a union,” she continues. “When he speaks, it’s ‘us’ and ‘we,’ and that’s important because it shows that you’re sharing life.” “The best thing is that we’re able to communicate about anything, and I think a lot of relationships don’t flourish because people are afraid to voice their opinion, not wanting to rock the boat.” Sounds like she’s really, truly in love , huh? And we’ve barely even gotten started yet! In relationships, Khloe says, “It’s good to find someone who has the same belief system and morals as you because it makes things easy.” “Tristan and I are both Christians; we go to church, we pray, we’re vocal about God and spirituality.” Didn’t see that one coming, did you? “A lot of my girlfriends get pregnant without talking about things such as religion with their significant others and then find out they have different belief systems to them,” she says. Speaking of getting pregnant, Khloe explains that she “definitely” wants to have kids, “but I don’t feel any pressure.” “Tristan is a great dad and he definitely wants more children, but we both feel that it will happen when the time is right.” “We’re still in a new relationship and I love us having time together,” she smartly says. “Once you have kids you can’t get back your non-kid years.” We’d advise Khloe to consider getting back on birth control if she wants to have a few more non-kid years — pregnancy can sneak up on you otherwise. But she says that she understands that children are a lifelong commitment, and that “you worry about your children for the rest of your life,” not just until they turn 18 and become adults. “The concern I have is raising little human beings in a world that’s filled with such hate and terror ,” she adds. “That seems very scary.” Yeah, girl, it really, really is. But thankfully, she says that she’s “in the best relationship I’ve ever been in,” and she adds that “it doesn’t take a ring for me to feel that way.” “I believe in marriage and I want to be married again one day but I don’t have a time frame.” “Why do people think that marriage equates to happiness?” she asks. “There are a lot of people in unhealthy marriages.” And honestly, with the heartbreaking way things ended between Khloe and Lamar Odom, we’d say she knows that better than most. View Slideshow: Khloe Kardashian and Tristan Thompson Make Out. HARD. Really though, she does seem very, very happy with Tristan — happier than she’s been since the early days with Lamar. Nothing but the best of wishes to this adorable couple!
If Lamar Odom is really trying to win back Khloe Kardashian , he may want to tell certain family members to stop slamming his ex-wife. Following the reality star’s admission that she actually faked trying to get pregnant while married to Odom, the former basketball player’s cousin has come out with some harsh words against Kardashian. “There’s no way to defend what Khloe did. It is disgraceful,” Simone Greggs tells In Touch , holding very little back. Odom’s relative goes on to acknowledge certain devious actions committed by her loved one, but says they don’t compare to what Khloe pulled. “Yes, Lamar deceived Khloe with his infidelities, but she deceived him too by faking fertility treatments when she knew all along she didn’t want to bring a baby into the world. “That’s betrayal.” On the season finale of Keeping Up with the Kardashians, Khloe admitted that she told Lamar she was undergoing IVF in order for the couple to conceive after many years of trying and failing. But she was apparently misleading her then-husband. “I knew the circumstances weren’t the healthiest,” Khloe said on camera, referring to her toxic marriage with the NBA star that ended more than three years ago. “So I just kept pretending I was doing it.” Khloe and Lamar were married for four years, but the latter struggled with an addiction to drugs and alcohol during a significant portion of their relationship. “I had to stop [the treatments[ because there was much deeper stuff that was happening in our marriage,” Khloe said during a confessional last Sunday night, adding: “It wasn’t the right kind of situation to bring a child into, and I think I’ve done a lot of covering up for him.” We’re guessing Khloe would admit at this point that she didn’t handle the situation so well. She likely should have been up front with Lamar. But we can’t begin to understand what she was going through at the time, in terms of Lamar’s drug use and, later on, his admitted infidelity. At this point in her life, meanwhile, it sounds as if Khloe is ready to take this major step in her personal life. She’s been dating Cleveland Cavaliers power forward Tristan Thompson for several months now and sources say he wants to have kids. Actually, he wants to have many kids and Kardashian is all for it. “Tristan and I definitely talk about starting a family,” Khloe told Kim Kardashian on this same finale, adding of her boyfriend: “He wants to have five or six kids with me and that’s lovely. We could start at one and we could grow from there.” And they may be starting at this exact moment, as you’re reading this… considering Khloe also confessed she has gone off birth control. As many viewers may be aware by now, Keeping Up with the Kardashians suffered a ratings crash on Season 13. Its popularity has fallen pretty far these days, meaning producers may soon be looking for fresh and exciting storylines to freshen things up for Season 14. In other words: Can anyone else hear wedding bells? Does anyone else think a televised ceremony may be in the works for Khloe and Tristan? Sorry, Lamar. You really need to move on, buddy.
