Khloe and Kourtney Kardshian chat about the new season of “Keeping Up With The Kardashians,” we find out if Kanye West is fitting in with the family, and Kourtney reveals who she wants in the delivery room.

On Jessica Simpson’s $4 Million Deal:
Jessica Simpson recently admitted that she ate a lot of fun foods during her pregnancy, but she now needs to do a serious post-baby slim down over the next few months to fulfill her contractual obligations with Weight Watchers. So, would Kourtney eat more in a situation like that? “For $4 Mil? Sure, bring it on. Bring me the food. Someone send a chef over with some macaroni and cheese,” she says. Listen to the full interview to hear Khloe call her sister out as a pathological liar on her “healthy diet” and details her late night pregnancy craving.

Khloé Kardashian Questions Whether She’s Biologically Related Or Not

Who Does Kourtney Want In The Delivery Room?
“I want Kim [Kardashian], Khloe, Kendall [Jenner], Kylie [Jenner], Scott [Disick], and my mom,” Kourtney tells us. To Khloe’s surprise, Lamar Odom was not on the list. “Kourtney, you don’t want Lamar? I thought you said that you had a crush on Lamar and you want him there?” To which Kourtney replied: “I do, but then he might not like me if he sees that.” So, if Lamar is allowed in, can Kanye come in too? “Kanye is so terrified of us, I don’t think he would want to be there,” Khloe says.

New ‘KUWTK’ Trailer Gives Fans A Glimpse Into Kim & Kanye’s Relationship

Is Kanye Fitting In With The Family?
Khloe tells us: “He [Kanye] said: ‘I’m an only child, there’s like so many of you.’” Kourtney then added an interesting bit of insight: “Scott and Lamar are only children too. I think we attract only children.” Khloe recalls: “I remember Lamar at first it took him a minute to get used to us, but now Lamar loves it. And with Kanye I was like: ‘Why are you hiding in our pantry in my mom’s kitchen?’ And he’s like: ‘There’s just so many of you guys, and you guys are all so loud, and friendly, and talk.” and I’m like: ‘get used to it buddy. Because I like it.’ It’s just a lot at one time.” Kourtney adds, “I don’t think he knows what’s going on. Like what we’re talking about, are we being serious, is this a joke?” And if that wasn’t enough for Kanye to process, Khloe tells us: “Lamar raps to him all the time. Kim is like: ‘You’re going to freak this guy out.’ But it’s funny.”

On “Keeping Up With The Kardashians”:
“It’s fine, it’s fun to live like this. We live in chaos and I feel like I would rather live in chaos than in complete boredom. And we now have hour long episodes, because I thought those 30 minute episodes did not give everyone enough of what we got to offer and our family is expanding. You know, Mason [Disick] is now the star of the show and Kourtney doesn’t know that my mom has already signed Mason to a 10 year contract with E!,” Khloe says. To which Kourtney replies: “Over my dead body.”

Kris Jenner Calls DNA Specialist To Settle Paternity Controversy

Does Everyone Have Access To Everyone’s House?
“My house is the only house that is kind of off limits, but somehow everyone still seems to get in there,” Khloe tells us. “I have your codes Khloe,” says Kourtney. “I would never barge into your house.” In the season premiere we see Bruce Jenner staying at Khloe’s house. “I offered that he could stay there when we were in Dallas for a week or so, because he needed to get away from Kris Jenner,” Khloe says.

In the season premiere, Kris takes matters into her own hands and calls a doctor inquiring about paternity testing. Will this phone call make the rumors stop? Don’t miss the all new season starting May 20th at a new time 9/8c Sundays on E!

Heather wrote: ”As you can see from my picture we are huge Kings fans. This is my son when he was 2. He loves the Kings and hockey. He has been playing hockey since he was 1 1/2. He was ice skating and rollerskating as soon as he could walk. I’d love to be able to take him to a Kings playoff game. Also my husband is a diehard Lakers fan. It would be a dream come true to surprise him with a ticket to the playoff game!”

The 18-year-old Justin Bieber has made it to the top—the top 3 of the Forbes Celebrity 100 list, that is! The “Boyfriend” singer earned $55 million over the past year and a giant $108 million since 2010. Forbes Magazine did a recent cover story on Justin and his successes and you can find it all in next month’s issue.

There’s no doubt that Justin has been practically unstoppable since his debut in 2009. According to Forbes, he has sold 15 million albums to date and has brought in a whopping $150 million from 157 tour dates across 24 countries. His biography film, “Never Say Never” raked in $30 million during its opening weekend and $100 million in total. Remember Justin’s floral “Someday” perfume? Well, the sassy scent made $60 million in retail sales during its first 6 months on the shelves.

Justin explains how he got this far and how he got started. He grew up in Stratford, Ontario raised nearly solely by his 18-year-old mother after birth. “Yellow shag carpets,” he recalled, “and we had mice.” By age 12, Justin had earned second place in a talent show singing “So Sick” by Ne-Yo. His mother uploaded videos of his performance and numerous covers. After accidentally clicking one of Justin’s videos, current manager Scooter Braun was amazed and tracked down Justin’s mother in hopes the two would agree to fly out to Atlanta to sing for him and R&B king Usher. “It was just crazy to me because I didn’t really think that it was possible,” Bieber says, “I lived in such a small town and things like that didn’t really happen.”

Justin’s talents drive other celebrities up the walls. Timothy “Timbaland” Mosley calls Justin “half-human and half-alien” and that alien boy’s smash hit “Baby” is named the most-watched video in YouTube history with about 740 million views.

The Biebs is not only a singer, songwriter, and dancer, he is also a businessman. “I do calls every week with my business manager and my lawyer,” he told Forbes, “Each week I’m learning something about my business and what I need to know for my career.” Justin is said to have stakes in an approximate dozen companies including Tinychat, the Stamped app, Sojo Studios and Spotify. “I’m not going to invest in something I don’t like,” he says, “I have to believe in the product.”

Donna Summer, the Queen of Disco has died at 63. Her family released a statement Thursday morning with news the singing legend has passed away after a long battle with cancer. “We grieve her passing,” they said, but they are “at peace celebrating her extraordinary life and continued legacy.”

The 5-time Grammy award winner was born LaDonna Adrian Gaines in 1948. She was raised with gospel music and sang in her church choir at age 10. Summer’s iconic voice made her a symbol in the 70s and 80s. She was known for her seductive sound in “Love to Love You Baby” and her songs revolved around the then-popular sex, drugs, and disco. Songs from her 8 gold and 3 platinum albums contained chart-topping singles, including pop hits “Macarthur Park” and “Hot Stuff,” “Bad Girls,” “No More Tears,” “I Feel Love,” and more. Summer was the first to have three consecutive albums (Live & More, Bad Girls, and On The Radio: Greatest Hits) hit the No. 1 spot.

Summer released her last studio album Crayons in 2008. She performed on “American Idol” with its top female contestants that same year.
