Regular readers of these pages know that this is NOT a gossip column, and never will be, but every once in a while something happens that cannot be ignored!
E! plunked down a whopping $150 million for five new series of Keeping up with the Kardashians, but that doesn't mean everything is hunky-dory in Tinseltown. kids
Some of the sisters are starting to bitch (sorry, I couldn't resist that) about the inequality of pay between them.
While one might have imagined that the sisters, who ceaselessly strive to project an image of loving unity on the show, would split the dough evenly, the truth appears to be far from that.
TMZ reports today that Kim makes more than any of the others, followed by Kourtney and Khloe.
The three Kardashian girls are getting “the lion’s share” of the $150 million deal, with TMZ claiming that 50 to 60 percent of the total will be split among the three oldest sisters.
Kylie and Kendall Jenner are being denied the same amount of cash.
This is perhaps understandable in the case of Kendall, who apparently wants to spend more time with other brands, like Pepsi, but Kylie is arguably as popular and successful as her three older half-sisters. She has her own spin off and a social-media presence (98 million followers on Instagram) that rivals Kim’s (103 million).
Doing nicely out of the deal is “momager” Kris Jenner, who gets a 10 percent ($15 million) management and negotiation fee.
Nice work if you can get it.
The way I see it anyway!
