Will was being batty and very immature and to the camera Jen said I just want him to be happy which is usually code for we now have close to zero aspirations for him.
Jen and Bill have zero aspirations for Will??? I 100% disagree with this statement; I could not disagree more. I believe that Jen and Bill have every realistic hope and aspiration for him and as loving parents, will put every resource they have into maximizing his potential. Obviously from just seeing Will on this television show, we can’t at all know what actual delays he may have and in what areas – be they cognitive, speech, emotional/social development or some combination of these. That’s private family information. When I look at Will, I compare him now to where he was before and I see so much progress in all areas. Yes, I know other children his age who are more advanced and more self-controlled, but so what? That’s them and not him. His situation is different. I do understand that Will’s behavior can seem wild and unruly at times and I also understand the questions about how he is being disciplined. Maybe I would handle him differently if he were my child. But I see him as an essentially happy, well-adjusted and kind-hearted little boy. For instance, he may not have understood Jen’s explanation of how his uncle died in 911, but his first thought was, “We should have saved him.”

Soon as she hears there’ll be nudity she’s already booking a touch up on her laser hair removal. And having North play “find the freckles” on mommy. For each one she circles
she gets a candy.she can take candy from Saint.Somewhere Kim is chuckling and smirking that her campaign to demonize North as a bad seed/evil sibling has been so successful. And all of this just to get attention for herself. But really, has anyone ever even seen pictures of North being mean to Saint? How sad for this little girl that from birth her mother has never had the least maternal instinct to protect her but instead has just used her for publicity and paparazzi fodder. As far as I’m concerned, Kim is the worst of all celebrity mothers by exposing her vulnerable young daughter to negative public scrutiny in this way, regardless of the real circumstances whatever they may be. Her troubled husband Kanye -- an adult -- is the only one she protects at all costs. I consider Kim even more cold-hearted and calculating than her own exploitive and money hungry mother Kris. And that’s saying something.

The red hat, the blue Prison “trustee” shirt buttoned right up to his windpipe, that imbecilic grin. The stupid comments about the 13th floor and the 13th amendment, have inmates work in his factories.
He’s not being used, he’s nuts.
I see the situation completely in reverse. Kanye is severely and obviously mentally ill and because of that he is being used by Trump and his like-minded cohorts. I think it's beyond sad, it's pitiful to see someone decompensating to this degree. Kim needs to put prison reform, posing and everything else on the back burner for now and focus on an immediate intervention for her husband. Otherwise, I see some real tragedy looming.

I suspect she was well aware of the disaster that is that dress but was at the time still under the spell of Kanye’s alleged genius and went against her better judgment.
I think after band-aid gate, it’s pretty clear, she wears his crap to keep the peace.
It would piss me off to no end that someone who professed to love me and who brought me all these things from around the world allegedly out of love, threw the giving of those gifts in my face because I failed to buy a band-aid that blended with his skin color. Instead of trying to placate him with special band-aids, I’d have bought him a gross of pacifiers and a box of pampers.
Ah yes, the infamous Riccardo Tisci-designed floral couch dress that spawned countless hilarious internet memes. But what’s more significant is that this was Kim’s first appearance at the Met Gala and she received that coveted invite only because she was the soon-to-be Mrs. Kanye. So I'm guessing that all the ridicule was worth it to her. Just like her ongoing bizarre marriage to Kanye, band-aids and all. They are not an ordinary wife and hubby, so it’s hard for most of us to relate in our own relationships, nor would most of us want to.

I’d laugh and laugh if North takes after Kanye’s mom and none of Kim’s carefully preserved crap fits her.
Well I sure as hell hope that North does not grow up to have the kind of grossly distorted body shape that would fit into Kim’s cherished high-priced stripper wear. (Shudder!) In fact, I hope that by some miracle, North develops a fashion sense that is unique to her and more refined and tasteful than that of her two parents or any of her tacky maternal relatives. Just maybe she might inherit paternal Grandma Donda’s drive for academic achievement. Yeah, I know, that’s a long shot…

The spectacle of it all? Clearly I don’t get his music because all I saw was a rip off of tons of National Geographic documentaries about Africa. Groups of villagers in the heat and dust dancing around some woman in a neon pink leotard (okay, she wasn’t in the documentaries) and chanting. He thinks he’s being original or cutting edge, why do I think 90% of those in that video probably received little or nothing in compensation? That he had no permit or insurance, he just hustled and builied his way into getting them to allow it? But Harvey is slick, he let the crazy show thru loud and clear. Gave Kris and Kim evidence they may need to get this guy the help he thinks he doesn’t need. Or to get a nice divorce and supervised visitation of the kids.
The spastic gyrations of Kanye and his dancers in the TMZ parking lot (!) have nothing to do with the rich traditions and specific meaning of African dance movements and steps passed down through centuries -- each country and area in that huge continent with its own individual traditions. Kanye always strikes me as superficial and shallow, his conceit not allowing him to take the time or effort to research the background of whatever issue or cause he’s pontificating about. So whenever he does go out to “somewhere in Africa”, I hope he leaves “Ye” behind and is humble and honest enough to really absorb the culture and history and let it inform his artistic point of view and his message.
Also, he needs to take his meds. STAT. For himself, not for Kris & Kim and their PR agenda.

Just what I was thinking along with "Ugh" and " I wonder what Gucci will think of the picture?" and "It looks like she's posing for a porn mag"
Actually, she's "wearing" Chanel, and let's just say that times have changed for that brand. This is a Hustler pose, too lewd and coarse even for Playboy.

I think it’s pretty much acknowledged that Kim is a liar. In fact, that’s her default mode. But somehow when she makes these negative statements about North in any of her interviews, it’s taken as gospel. I for one don’t believe a word of it. Kim gets a lot of social media traction from maligning her own daughter with this ongoing spoiled-brat narrative. I really don’t care what Kim is like as a wife, daughter or sister, but as a mother, she’s the worst. Poor North, exploited from birth for media attention with no public voice to defend herself and no one to protect her – certainly not her mother. It's sad and it's sickening.

All of the Karjens have had troubled relationships but that didn’t stop any of them, except Kendall, from producing kids, and more than one child in the case of Kim and Kourtney. I think Kim is operating under the law of diminishing returns so that if and when she feels she’s gotten all she can from her marriage to Kanye and he’s more of a liability than a benefit, she’ll extricate herself. And in the meantime, three years and counting isn’t too bad for this kind of celebrity marriage. Plus I’m sure she’d do it all again rather than being stuck being plain Mrs. Kris Humphries from Wherever, Minnesota. The horror!

Just to play up the Kourtney is the outsider theme of the season,
Who decides on a guardian BEFORE the kid is even born?
In every homestudy I’ve done as an adoption social worker, I’ve always discussed who the legal guardians would be for the child if something were to happen to the adoptive parents. And that was before the child was identified for or placed in the adoptive home. So to me it doesn’t sound strange to also consider this for a birth child – in real life. But yes, it really bugs me that this issue is used as a fake storyline for a reality show. But then, so many of this family’s fake storylines intrude on the privacy of the young children in this family, including Scott’s (real, blindsided) angry, upset reaction on camera to finding out that Kourtney was pregnant with their third child, or when and if someone’s boyfriend or girlfriend should be introduced to the children. I believe these are issues impacting children that should be resolved in private and not exploited for ratings.

True looks like she could be the great great great grandaughter of Hattie McDaniel. Which would be about 1 million times better than being the grandaughter of Kris Jenner.
Obviously she's not but that's literally who I see when I look at this picture.
You are probably referencing Hattie McDaniel’s famous role as “Mammy” in Gone with the Wind where she always wore a head rag. Maybe the resemblance you are seeing is with True’s head band? Otherwise I see no similarity to this baby and a long ago fictional character that now would be considered an unfortunate and demeaning stereotype.

I saw a pic of Blake Lively wearing a lime green pants suit. While it isn’t my choice of color, she looked beautiful AND 90% of her was covered!
Eeek! I just hope this neon fad will soon die a natural death. It literally gives me a headache, especially when seen in the head to toe combo that Blake chose. So hey, Blake, Kardashians, and all other celebrities sporting these blindingly bright colors: could you please at least only model neon as an accessory or just one small part of your outfit. Blake has said that she does not use a stylist so I'll give her the benefit of the doubt for going with the trend with this outfit as well as the double velvet blazer/no shirt look she sported a few days ago here in NYC where it is still summer!

Exactly. If Keyra was cut for the second time she was late to an appearance, a few people on here would have been crying racism. She supposedly is not told not to try out again, and she gets cut. Kelli and Judy are raked over coals for letting her try out again and letting the viewers and fans know Keyra was not professional and not being a good example for future rookies because she was late twice. Kelli and Judy may have said enough is enough with Keyra and wanted to cut their losses with her when she was late the second time, but Charlotte may have said no we need to keep her because of all the drama with Jenna, Holly, and Erica and Alexandria leaving the squad right away. Did Keyra not understand if she tries out the truth about her being late to two appearances would come out. She brought this on herself. Stop using Kelli and Judy as the scrape goat for your mistakes. Unless they went to her home and made her late twice, made her act a certain way which would pissed off Kelli and some of the other girls on the squad, and made her hang out with at least two girls who caused their own version of drama, then sorry she has no one else to blame but herself.
Hi, Please offer clarification: From your information, was Keyra actually told not to reapply or is it just that she supposedly was told or should have just somehow seen the handwriting on the wall? I’m not second guessing the decision to let her go for reasons I obviously don’t know exactly, but after many years in the working world, I do know how HR works, and there is such a thing as a paper trail wherein a person has written evaluations and in-person meetings to address fireable offenses vs. fixable issues. In the latter, the person is given specific behaviors to correct within a specific time-frame, where with fireable offenses, the person is just gone, period. In the office meetings that I’ve seen on this show, Kelli has always been direct, even blunt, when cutting even a training camp candidate. I just don’t see her pussyfooting around rather than straight out telling Keyra not to reapply.
I only know Keyra from what I’ve seen on the show, but I always really liked her. I loved her spark and her energy. Even from that last practice session with the vets, my eyes were drawn to her, and I thought she also stood out on the field and brought something special to the squad even though she wasn’t the typical DCC. Whatever else happened behind the scenes with regard to her personality, I don’t know. But I agree that she needs to back away from social media for now and just go forward graciously with the exposure DCC has given her on the public stage. She has so much going for her and I wish her well.

I'm sure Kourtney is under some sort of contract that is keeping her tied to the show. Kourtney is getting to an age where you start to realize you have lived about half your life already and you start taking account of what you've done and what you have left. While Kourtney is very privileged and has the resources to have a good life, it came at a very high cost. Where on what, Season 15 now? That is a lot of time to dedicate to something she never originally wanted in the first place. Yes she did it and her family should be grateful because she has added to the show from the beginning, but her coming to terms with where she is now is likely very jarring. It's easy to have fake relationships and conversation when you can be frozen emotionally and not take it personally, but Kourtney is trying to open herself up and even if it's 'acting' it feels like it's hurting her. She doesn't seem able to separate the two anymore and that has got to be hard. I don't think any of the KarJenners thought this show would turn into what it did and I also don't think anyone expected it to last 11 years. I think the second Kourtney can bow out she will. A few multi-hour spin offs a year would keep the fans happen, keep their brand going...etc and I think that is what it'll eventually come to.

Let Kim go off and be a mogul and a political “activist” and Khloe make her life in Cleveland and get together for special episodes periodically. And Kourtney can concentrate on her kids and whatever other interests she has.
I believe that the Karjens’ current $150 million KUWTK contract will expire in 2019. I’ll bet the farm that Kourtney and all the rest of them including Scott will re-up if offered another equally lucrative deal to extend that contract. Nobody is suggesting that Kourtney should break a legal contract. It’s when the re-up contract negotiations are underway that she can opt out if she truly has “awakened” and wants a more peaceful life for herself and her kids. She would then have more time and certainly more than enough money to focus on therapy and whatever personal plans and goals she, as an individual, wants to realize in the future. It’s her life, her choice. Neither would she have to become estranged from her family if no longer filming the show; she could still enjoy close family relationships but just not as enmeshed as they all are now. However traumatic her parents’ divorce may have been for her, she is now a mother herself, so the lifestyle choices she makes are affecting her own children and they are far younger and more vulnerable than she was at the time of Kris and Robert’s divorce. The past can’t be changed but what about the future for her kids and all the little ones in this family?

And how big the check is.
All of the grandchildren are paid for their appearances on the show. I remember how Scott and Kourtney played hardball with E over their money demands to allow baby Mason to appear on a Kim and Kourtney spinoff. But Rob’s previous experiences with KUWTK and his own reality show with Chyna were disastrous for him so you would think he would stay away from any further filming and also keep his sweet little daughter far from the cameras. She’s such an adorable child and Rob always looks so happy and proud when he’s with her. It’s really too bad that he’s going down that destructive path again with this family, no matter how lucrative.

This family should stop meddling in each other’s business and concentrate on finding healthy, stable relationships of their own. If not, their children will be collateral damage as they grow up amidst the ongoing drama and confusing circumstances that has been the hallmark of this group beginning with grandma Kris.

Why should Kourtney have to make things easy for Kim or Khloe? Kim wants to plan a whole day for a photo shoot for a Christmas card? Kim wants to have a baby shower for Chicago and expects Kourtney to volunteer to help? Get an assistant to do that shit. Both Kim and Khloe used to bitch at Kris for overbooking them all the time. Kim has had plenty to say to all of them at times , mostly when she feels they aren’t working as hard as she thinks they should. She’s mocked their clothes, their homes, their choice in men ( that’s rich). I think all their homes are ugly and sterile, particularly Kims. Kourtney at least has a comfy couch room.
Clearly they are all older and have other things going on in their lives that are important to them. Maybe they should take a long break from the show and do their own thing for a while.
As much as this is likely staged for TV, Kim seemed a bit to happy to rip into Kourtney and Khloe got off on listening to it.
I have zero sympathy for Kourtney. If she really is sick of diva Kim and the rest of her “bitch family”, the simple solution is for her to refuse to sign up for another KUWTK season. She and her children could then live the quiet private life she has long proclaimed she wants, plus she would have even more time to travel the world with her “boyfriend”. She can well afford it, thanks to the clever hustling and marketing skills of Kim and Kris that have earned Kourtney and all the rest of them multimillions. Why doesn’t she quit? Because she’s just as addicted to the fame and attention as the rest of them and loves showing off her body in the paparazzi spotlight. She loves that lifestyle, period. And for all of her sobbing and whining about how hurt she is, she makes sure that all of these dramatics are caught on camera for the show. When and if she finally decides that money and fame are not worth having to accommodate herself to Kim’s demands and insults or to the filming schedule, she will go her own way and limit the time she has to be in the company of anyone in the family she finds difficult or toxic.

She needs a couple inches added to that skirt. She must be worried all the time that she’ll flash someone.
So a fit, 20-year-old is wearing a short skirt in a cute outfit. Honestly, I’m not seeing anything clutch-your-pearls shocking or out of the ordinary here for this age group. It’s not as if she’s a middle-aged or grossly overweight woman looking ridiculous. I’ve seen much worse and more revealing before from Kylie herself and from every single one of her older sisters, including Kourtney, the oldest. In the Kardashian-Jenner world, this outfit is downright modest. Now, the obvious fillers and cosmetic surgeries: that’s another story.

I don't prescribe to the notion that all babies are cute. Their looks are no less subjective than that of an adults and it seems perfectly fine to comment on the looks of other adults. I certainly don't condone harassing children with comments telling them they're ugly by any means, but I just believe that as individuals, we shouldn't be judged for looking at a child and not thinking they're cute.
I just think that having an opinion and publicly posting that opinion are two different things, especially when it comes to children and especially when it’s something negative and hurtful about a child’s looks. But then, as an advocate for children, someone whose career has always been in child welfare, I’m admittedly biased on the issue, so in the end it just circles back to my having my own opinion, no more or less significant than anyone else’s.

Khloe tweeted back that the person who tweeted that True is ugly was a "loser." Hmmm - Khloe, is rich, etc. , gets knocked, up and that's still not enough to keep her baby daddy from cheating - who's the REAL loser?
Yes, Khloe does continually make unfortunate choices in her relationships, so then maybe she should be the target of the mean comments, not her innocent child. I have to agree with her that the person who posted the rude, hurtful comment about True is a “loser”. Not only is that person an adult publicly picking on a baby’s appearance because of her own personal opinion, but she also purposely tagged Khloe so that Khloe would be more likely to see that post.
I just hope that True and all of her cousins can find role models outside of their looks-obsessed family and other shallow people who would judge them solely on their appearance -- conventional good looks or not. These kids will have access to a fortune and will be able to afford the finest education and an enhanced opportunity to accomplish something worthwhile with their lives. But what are they going to be taught by the family code? To exploit themselves by whatever means necessary for publicity and to scam as much money as possible from the gullible public.

"Queen Persia" is the screen name of the person whose tweet Khloe is responding to. It should say: "Not exactly, Queen Persia...", but I guess Khloe was too annoyed to bother putting in that comma, lol.

I don't think Kim's newest is cute at all, I said so on one of these boards, and I got some grief for it. Still not apologizing. Not a cute baby.
Ain't no one going to hell for telling the truth! :-DLuckily there is not just one standard of beauty, good looks or cuteness to be judged by. We are all entitled to our own opinions, but that is all it is – an opinion, not a fact. The children of celebrities have it hard because they are exposed to scrutiny they did not ask for. For that reason, I most respect those celebrities who protect their children’s privacy and keep them out of the harsh public glare. It’s too bad the Kardashian-Jenners are not among that group.

Kylie
in Keeping Up With The Kardashians
Yes, and Kylie is actually looking and smiling at Stormi. In almost all of Kim’s pictures with her children, she is gazing, smirking or looking sultrily into the camera. Because for Kim, it’s all about her and the kids are nothing more than props in the shot.
