Kim Kardashian and Kanye West‘s daughter North is off limits when it comes to the new seasons of E!'s Keeping Up with the Kardashians, a new report indicates.
Talks between Kris Jenner and the network to cut a lucrative new deal “didn’t ever include any talk of having North on the show,” an insider tells Radar.
"Kim and Kanye made it clear North wasn’t up for discussion. They want North to have some privacy and be able to be a child away from the cameras.”
“It was a no-go from the very beginning."
The soon-to-be two-year-old won't be altogether absent, but she won't be a focal point and it looks like Kim and 'Ye can restrict access at any juncture.
“There will be times when North will be included in a group setting, where it’s impossible to edit her out, but she won’t be on the show on even a semi-regular basis."
"E! offered big money to have North included" more often, according to the source close to the production, but her famous parents flatly shot that down.
The decision has irked some executives at E! who see an increasingly visible North West at Fashion Week, plus Kim Kardashian's Instagram account.
As for reports that Kim Kardashian is quitting the show that made her famous, we sincerely doubt that this new E! deal would be so lucrative without her.
A hundred million without the Kardashian kash kow, whose sex tape catapulted her into the stratosphere and carried an entire family on her coattails?
Not even an unscrupulous Momager with the track record of Kris Jenner, or the selfies of Kylie and Kendall Jenner, could score a contract that impressive.
Look for Kim to be back in full force next season, because there's no way E! is gonna let ratings go south ... even if they can't go much farther North.
North West. The spawn of Kimye being named after a direction may be the dumbest thing in human history. At the same time, if she doesn't grow up to have a signature fragrance called North by North West, this is not a planet we wanna be living on.
Kourtney Kardashiand and Scott Disick went relatively conventional with their first two children Mason and Penelope. For the third, however, they opted for a name fit for a Lord: REIGN Aston Disick.
Yes, Miley's real name is Destiny ... which isn't necessarily a bad thing, but Billy Ray and Tish probably guaranteed she'd become a stripper someday with that moniker.
Ironically, Apple is both the name of Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin's daughter and likely the name of a food item forbidden in some rich crazy-person diet she probably follows.
Nicolas Cage named one of his kids Kal-El, a fact not related to him being wasted out of his mind in this mug shot ... although that could explain a lot of things.
Not only did she torture us with The Reader, Kate Winslet is making her newborn's life terrible with Bear as his name. Alicia Silverstone chose this name too. And she chews up Bear's food for him, which is also interesting.
Blanket Jackson is not actually the name of the youngest child of Michael Jackson. It's Prince Michael Jackson II ... not to be confused with Prince Michael Jackson I (also pictured). As for his nickname, he was wearing a Blanket while MJ dangled him over a balcony. Good times.
Suri Cruise, the child of Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes, is a bona fide cutie. Who will have to spell and explain her name approximately 10 times per day as an adult.
Jessica Simpson named her little daughter Maxwell. Perhaps she is trying to overcompensate for giving her an old man's name by putting her in this bikini.
Banjo, the son of Rachel Griffiths and Andrew Taylor, is not only named after a musical instrument, but probably the most absurd one to name a kid after you could think of. With the possible exception of oboe.
