No matter what they endure, Kim Kardashian and Kanye West's love grows by the day. The uber-famous couple live their lives out loud and in the spotlight, so it was unsurprising that the reality star decided to give her husband a social media shoutout for his birthday. Kanye West turned 43-years-old on Monday (June 8), and while he's kept relatively quiet since releasing his last album Jesus is King, we're sure the rapper, his wife, and their four children celebrated in style.

Over on her Twitter page, Kim Kardashian shared a series of throwback photos of herself and Ye in happy, private moments. "Happy Birthday to my King," she wrote in one caption. In another, "Thank you for always being you and never letting the world change who you are! Life wouldn’t be the same without you!" Over on her Instagram story, she shared a few silly photos of Kanye with their children, as well.
Mom-ager Kris Jenner also added her well-wishes over on Instagram where she posted a few photos of her own. "Happy Birthday #KanyeWest!! You are an amazing son, father, husband, uncle, brother and friend... thank you for being such a special and important part of our family... I love you very much ?❤️????." Check it out below.
Blac Chyna Accuses Kardashians Of Racism, Family Responds Through Lawyer
Blac Chyna alleges that the Kardashian family conspired to get her reality show with Rob Kardashian, “Rob & Chyna,” canceled.
She was one *thisclose* to becoming a member of the Kardashian-Jenner clan, but after Blac Chyna and Rob Kardashian broke off their brief engagement, things turned sour. Blac Chyna has been in and out of court as she’s battled Rob Kardashian regarding custody of their daughter Dream as well as child support payments. Now, Chyna has updated a lawsuit she has against NBCUniversal and the Kardashian family with accusations that they have a racist agenda.

In the Fall of 2016, Rob & Chyna aired on E!. The show only lasted for one season, and the following year, Blac Chyna filed a lawsuit against the Kardashian Krew, accusing them of sneaking behind her back to NBC in order to have the show canceled. Now, Chyna adds to the long-standing lawsuit that the famous family wanted her out because of racism. She alleges that Kris Jenner went to NBC with a story that Chyna physically assaulted Rob, and executives told her that “the situation would’ve been handled differently if BC was white.”
Marty Singer, lawyer to the Kardashian-Jenner’s, told TMZ that this latest accusation is just one of many defense tactics that Blac Chyna has used over the years. “This is a 2 year old lawsuit in which Chyna has changed her defense more times than we can count. Sadly, unsurprising to anyone, she has stooped to a new low, changing her defense to try to leverage the emotions and pain of the moment, insulting the pain and suffering of real victims of racial injustice and systemic racism.” He added, “We take these allegations very seriously and once again, there is no Rob & Chyna show if there is no Rob & Chyna.”
Meanwhile, TMZ reports that their sources have told them the reason Rob & Chyna got the ax was due to the fact that the couple had broken up and Chyna filed a restraining order against Rob, making it impossible to film them together.
Kylie & Kris Jenner Reportedly "Freaking Out" Over Forbes’ Billionaire Exposé
After Forbes exposed Kylie Jenner for exaggerating her finances, the mogul and her mother, Kris, are reportedly “freaking out” about the possible ramifications.
Kylie and Kris Jenner are “freaking out” about Forbes’ recent exposé on Kylie’s dishonest billionaire status, according to reports. On Friday (May 29th), Forbes published a piece serving to expose Kylie Jenner for allegedly exaggerating her finances in order to appear much wealthier than she really is. The publication accused Kylie of “lying about company figures and forging tax returns,” and insisted that her Kylie Cosmetics “is significantly smaller, and less profitable, than the family has spent years leading the cosmetics industry and media outlets, including Forbes, to believe.”

Kylie later responded to these claims on Twitter, calling out Forbes for their “inaccurate statements and unproven assumptions” about her wealth. She appeared to be brushing it off, though, claiming that it is “literally the LAST thing i’m worried about right now.” However, it seems Kylie and her mom-ager, Kris Jenner, are actually stressing out about what this exposé could mean for the future of Kylie’s business—and their reputations.

“Kris and Kylie are freaking out and fear that this is going to hurt their brand, and even worse, they could be in trouble with the government,’ an unconfirmed source revealed to The Sun.
After Forbes published the piece on Kylie’s “web of lies,” her lawyer immediately demanded a retraction. “The article is filled with outright lies,” her lawyer stated. “Forbes’ accusation that Kylie and her accountants ‘forged tax returns’ is unequivocally false and we are demanding that Forbes immediately and publicly retract that and other statements.” However, Forbes stood by their findings, explaining that the “extensively-reported investigation was triggered by newly-filed documents that revealed glaring discrepancies between information privately supplied to journalists and information publicly supplied to shareholders. Our reporters spotted the inaccuracies and spent months uncovering the facts. We encourage the attorney to re-read the article.”
Kylie Jenner To Start Producing Custom Hand Sanitizer
Kylie Jenner has partnered with Coty Inc, a major stakeholder in her skincare and cosmetic lines, to manufacture custom hand sanitizer for southern California hospitals.
Kylie Jenner has set out to combat some of the shortages of supplies amid the coronavirus pandemic, by teaming up with beauty company, Coty Inc., to donate custom-made hand sanitizer to hospitals in southern California. On Tuesday, the beauty and skincare mogul and her momager, Kris Jenner, announced the partnership with Coty, who is a major stakeholder in both Kylie Cosmetics and Kylie Skin. The hand sanitizer will be produced in Coty’s factories, and will be “dedicated to first responders working to support our communities.” The product will be provided to “medical and emergency services staff,” as well as both the employees making the sanitizer and those responsible for delivering it to people in need.

Since Coty will be producing the hydro-alcoholic gel in its own facilities, Kylie Skin will reportedly not be affected by this venture. However, distribution has already been haulted on Kylie Cosmetics products, along with Kim Kardashian‘s KKW Beauty line, after California issued a statewide shelter-in-place order last month.

Along with helping to relieve the shortage of hand sanitizer as a result of the pandemic, Kylie has also donated $1 million toward providing protective masks for a Los Angeles hospital. Prior to this donation, Kylie urged her followers to practice social distancing and stay home, after she was called upon by the surgeon general of the United States to use her platform to make a statement.
Kim Kardashian Hopes To Axe Novel Based On Ray J Sex Tape: Report
Kim Kardashian may have reportedly received upwards of $5 million for the tape 13 years ago, but she apparently doesn’t want anyone else to profit from it.
The infamous sex tape involving Kim Kardashian and Ray J continues to haunt the reality star. Back in 2007, Vivid Entertainment released the sex tape that starred Kim and her then-boyfriend, and over the years, Kris Jenner has been pegged with accusations that she sold out her daughter for fame. However, Vivid’s founder has admitted that the company paid upwards of $5 million to Kim for her racy footage. Over the last 13 years, there have been plenty of jokes made at Kim Kardashian and Ray J’s expense. Now, the Keeping Up With the Kardashians mogul is attempting to halt the distribution of a novel that bears a similar resemblance to her true life experiences.

According to Page Six, a “family confidant” and former tabloid editor named Kevin Dickson has penned a novel titled Post Famous. The main character is reportedly a character named Zia Zandrian who not only is described as looking like Kim, but also receives $5 million for selling off her sex tape. Dickson had a close working relationship with the Kardashian family as he is described as once being the middleman between the famous crew and In Touch magazine.
The report states that “strong-arm tactics” are being used to keep Dickson from publishing his latest book. He reportedly was close to inking a deal with a publisher when his agent received “a sudden and unexpected ‘polite pass.'” Page Six writes that the publisher was allegedly told that if they even thought about putting out Post Famous they would face a heap of legal trouble. It’s no skin off of Dickson’s teeth, as it’s also reported that he’s shopping the novel to two other publishing houses and may even have a “TV adaption” in the works.

"Kris wasn’t sick and didn’t have any symptoms, but since she was in contact with someone who tested positive, she took the test. Jenner luckily tested negative for coronavirus."
Lucian Grainge's 60th birthday bash was only sixteen days ago and featured luxe guests including the likes of Apple CEO Tim Cooke, Activision Blizzard CEO Bobby Kotick, legendary music manager Irving Azoff, British billionaire Philip Green, Kris Jenner, and more. Fortunately, a source revealed to Page Six, that Grainge's 60th celebration was an intimate gathering stating:
"The party was just close friends, no artists or Universal executives. It was 16 days ago, and while we are concerned about Lucien, everybody else in the group is fine, to my knowledge."
On Monday (March 16), Kris Jenner took to her Twitter account to show support to the medical professionals that assisted in her testing. Unfortunately, Stringer Bell AKA Idris Elba revealed early today that he tested positive for COVID-19, but is in good spirits.
Check out Kris Jenner's Tweet thanking the healthcare workers in the post provided below and take as many precautions as possible in order to protect you and your loved ones.
Are Travis Scott & Kylie Jenner Giving Stormi A Sibling?
Kris Jenner seems to think that her next grandchild will be coming from her daughter, Kylie Jenner, and Kylie’s ex-boyfriend and baby daddy, Travis Scott.
Kylie Jenner and Travis Scott welcomed their daughter Stormi into the world just over two years, and according to Kylie’s mother, Kris, they could be going for round two in the near future. Kris stopped by The Ellen Degeneres Show on Thursday to talk about all things Kardashian, and the mother of six (and grandmother of ten) was asked a lightning round of questions about her family for a segment called “Keeping Up With The Blank.” Notorious for prying into her guests’ personal lives, Ellen asked Kris to be totally honest when answering these risky personal questions, and Kris obliged pretty consistently. Ellen asked Kris to name all kinds of things, from her favourite daughter (today, it’s Khloe) to her smartest daughter (today, it’s Kim) to her favourite grandchild (Dream, but only because she just saw her).
One of the more intriguing questions Ellen asked Kris was which one of her kids will be having her next grandchild. Each of Kris’ children have at least one child except Kendall, but not all of them are currently in a position where they would necessarily be welcoming another baby into the world just yet. However, Kris seemed to think it would be Kourtney, who has three kids with her ex, Scott Disick, and is rumoured to be back with model Younes Bendjima. After giving it some more thought, Kris decided that Kylie may actually be the next child of hers to have a baby, which prompted Ellen to ask if Kylie and her daughter Stormi’s father, Travis Scott, were back together. “I don’t know if they’re back together,” Kris responded. “They’re just great co-parenters.”

Lately, Kylie and Travis have been spotted on several outings together with Stormi in tow, proving that Kris is right about their co-parenting relationship. Though the supposed exes have been rumoured to be back together practically since they broke up, often spotted together in public and speaking highly of each other, their priority has always been their daughter. With time, maybe they’ll work things out and rekindle their romance? Somebody’s got to get to work and make Kris a grandmother for the 11th time.

O.T. Genasis Confirmed To Be Father Of Ex-Girlfriend Malika Haqq’s Baby
O.T. Genasis attended Malika Haqq’s baby shower on Saturday to make the big reveal.
It’s been five months since Malika Haqq announced her pregnancy to the world, but up until now, she has kept the father’s identity under wraps. The baby daddy is none other than her ex-boyfriend, O.T. Genasis. While the two were reported to have broken up back in June, Haqq shared a photo of a positive pregnancy test in September, leaving it a mystery as to whether O.T. Genasis had found his way back into her life.
Haqq’s baby shower on Saturday (Feb. 8) also served as a paternity reveal, as O.T. Genasis attended the teddy-bear themed party. They may not be romantically involved anymore, but the parents-to-be both expressed their excitement about welcoming a child into the world together. According to Us Weekly, Haqq said the following about O.T. Genasis during her speech at the shower: “Whether you brought me lunch or called me or texted me. I’m incredibly thankful to Odis Flores for my little boy.”
The Atlanta rapper broke the news that he’s the father with an Instagram post. “My son on da way…Give me a baby name now…GO!!!,” he captioned a photo from the baby shower’s custom photo booth.
Khloe Kardashian, Kourtney Kardashian, Kylie Jenner and Kris Jenner were also all in attendance at the shower. Haqq is close with the famous family and has repeatedly appeared on Keeping Up With The Kardashians.
