The Kardashians: an Outrageous Phenomenon
Keeping Up with the Kardashians is an American reality TV series that has aired on E! since 2007. The series has aired eight seasons, and focuses on the personal and professional lives of the Kardashian/Jenner family.
Defense attorney Robert Kardashian and Kris Houghton married in 1978 and had four children together, Kourtney, Kim, Khloé and Rob. The couple divorced in 1991.
Robert entered the media spotlight when he defended O.J. Simpson for the murders of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Goldman during a lengthy trial.
Kris married former Olympic champion Bruce Jenner. Bruce and Kris had two daughters together, Kendall and Kylie. Robert died in 2003, eight weeks after being diagnosed with cancer.
In 2004, Kim became a personal stylist to celebrities such as her childhood friend, Paris Hilton. She eventually developed into a full-time stylist and personal shopper.
Khloé, Kim and Kourtney further ventured into fashion, opening a high fashion boutique D-A-S-H in Calabasas, California and launching several fragrances and clothing collections.
Ryan Seacrest said "At the heart of the series—despite the cat-fights and endless sarcasm—is a family that truly loves and supports one another. The familiar dynamics of this family make them one Hollywood bunch that’s sure to entertain."
Kim is the highest-paid reality television personality, making $40 000 per episode of the show.
Her marriage to basketball player Kris Humphries drew heavy criticism, as the lavish televised nuptials produced a union that lasted only 72 days.
Kim started dating Kanye West in 2012. Kanye announced that Kim was pregnant with their child and she gave birth to North West in June 2013.
Kourtney has launched clothing boutiques, a jewelry line and a tell- all book, Kardashian Konfidential, about the celebrity siblings.
Her rocky relationship with boyfriend Scott Disick and experience with motherhood have been shown throughout the seasons of the show.
Khloe has publicly struggled with

    Designer. Born August 9, 1959, Karl Anderson, Jr. was raised on New York's Long Island. As a toddler, Kors worked as a model, appearing in national campaigns for products such as toilet paper and Lucky Charms cereal. Kors' biological parents split when he was young, and he got his new name at age 5 when his mother married businessman Bill Kors. His mom changed his last name and gave him the chance to pick his first name. He chose Michael as his first name and his second-favorite, David, as his middle name. His mother also allowed him to design her wedding dress. Kors moved to New York City in the 1970s to attend the Fashion Institute of Technology. He loved the city more than the school, however, and dropped out after two semesters. In 1978, Kors went to work at the French boutique Lothar's, which allowed him to design and merchandise his first fashion collection. The well-received collection generated enough interest that Kors was able to start his own fashion line. Michael Kors Women's Collection launched in May 1981, and was sold in the high-end department stores Bergdorf Goodman and Saks Fifth Avenue. When he was 23, he convinced the formidable fashion editor Anna Wintour - then of New York magazine, now the editor of Vogue - to view his collection. Kors displayed the collection laid out on his bed in his apartment. From these humble beginnings, he soon picked up celebrity fans like Barbara Walters and earned awards for his designs. In 1990, however, Kors; company was forced to reorganize under bankruptcy. After getting back on his feet, Kors launched KORS Michael…
