If you all saw the last season of Keeping Up with the Kardashians, you remember Kim was adamant about having a third child. However, due to complications from her previous pregnancies, having a child herself would be too dangerous. Scared to hire a surrogate, Kim even ran the idea past her little sis, Khloe. In the end, Kim wasn't sure if she wanted to hire one and Khloe told us she'd want kids with boo Tristan Thompson of the Cleveland Cavaliers but not lend her womb to Kimye. Turns out, even Chrissy Teigen offered to be a surrogate for the reality star. Thus, here we are....the Kards set the scene for today's news confirmed by People magazine that Kim and Kanye have hired a surrogate. The price? $114,000 roughly. According to TMZ, this is the breakdown: o Kim and Kanye have found a surrogate through an agency and agreed to pay the following: -- $45,000 in 10, $4,500 monthly installments -- If there are multiples, the surrogate gets $5k for each additional kid -- If the surrogate loses reproductive organs, she gets $4,000 Kim and Kanye are also required to deposit $68,850 with the agency.
Not junk change, but is it enough to hold a well-known couple's baby for 9+ months? It's still unclear if the surrogate is pregnant right now and if she hasn't started....when's her first day of work? The couple already has 4 year-old North and 18 month old Saint.
We've been waiting months for this...and it's finally happened!
After taking a break from social media since the horrific robbery in Paris back in October, Kim Kardashian West has returned to social media posting a photo of her with her children and husband Kanye West with the caption family.
In fact, Kim returned to social media 3 months to the day following the unsolved robbery in Paris.
A photo posted by Kim Kardashian West (@kimkardashian) on
Family is indeed #1 for the West since Kim was robbed at gunpoint in a Paris hotel in October and when husband, Kanye West, had a breakdown in November.
Reports have constantly said Kim only wanted to focus on her family for the time being and that's exactly what she did.
On her website a video showing home movies of the Wests while Jeremih's Paradise played in the background shows the family throughout the year enjoying time with eachother. The video also shutsdown divorce rumors that have been swirling around the couple.
It brought a tear to my eye!
Just a month after professing his support for President-Elect Donald Trump, blonde Kanye aka Blondye and the Donald hung out and talked about life at the Trump tower in NYC on Tuesday morning. He arrived around 9am.
"We've been friends for a long time," Donald Trump says as he stands next to Kanye West. https://t.co/pgnHGJru9p
According to the Associated Press, "West stood silently next to the president-elect for photos in the lobby of Trump Tower after their meeting. Asked why he wasn't speaking, West said, 'I just want to take a picture right now.'"
Trump called Yeezy a "good man" and "just a friend". Why do they sound like lovers?
TMZ.Com
I'm not sure what this meeting means, but Kris Jenner's boy toy was there...to babysit? I don't know. Could Trump offer 'Ye a job? Secretary of the Interior? He may think that's a design job. LOL.
Could he be performing at the inauguration? Trump has been having trouble booking an artist.
The Life of Pablo rapper was spotted Thursday night out in West Hollywood for Rick Owen's Furniture exhibit...with a new hair color. Italian artist Giovanni Leonardo Bassan originally instagrammed the photo and the Kanye fan-IG re-shared it.
Is Kanye channeling Sisqo? Frank Ocean?
Instagram: @upscalehype
Regardless it's good to know that he's back out and on his feet...possibly back to normalcy.
Kanye is still in the hospital recovering and his wife, Kim, is by his side.
Regardless of how we all feel about Kanye, I'm glad he's getting the help he needs.
Wow
It's been quite a week for Kanye, and now it looks like he's finally getting the help he needs.
After abruptly cancelling the remainder of his Saint Pablo tour, TMZ reports 'Ye is currently at UCLA Medical Center for a "psychiatric evaluation". Other reports are stating it was due to exhaustion and severe sleep deprivation.
I'm getting Britney 2007 & Mariah 2001 vibes here.
Law enforcement tells the celebrity gossip site, Cops responded to a call for a welfare check on Kanye around 1:20 PM PT. The call was actually from West's physician, Dr. Michael Farzam, who identified his patient as "Jim Jones, 39 years old, 5'8", 175 lbs ... suffers from temporary psychosis due to sleep deprivation and dehydration." He was at his trainer, Harley Pasternak's home at the time and was "acting erratically." Reports say his doc reported he attempted to "assault a staff member at the gym."
TMZ reports that police called L.A. Fire, and by the time paramedics arrived Kanye was calmer ... but still resistant to going to the hospital. We're told everyone -- his management and law enforcement -- convinced him it was best he go. Law enforcement sources tell us Kanye was handcuffed to a gurney during transport to the hospital ... as standard protocol."
Kim Kardashian West was due to make her first appearance Monday night in NYC for Denise Rich's yearly Angel Ball, but due to the recent state of Yeezy, Kim immediately flew home.
One thing to note, November may be a hard month for Kanye. In November 2007, his mother, Donda West, died due to complications from cosmetic surgery.
Losing a parent must not be easy and it's no secret the Yeezus star has been publicly struggling since losing his mom. Hopefully he gets the help he needs.
What the hell is happening with Pablo and his life? Is he still distraught over Hov not calling him? Or that his wife almost lost her life to jewel thieves? Regardless, after his Trump comments in San Jose, Ye had a show in Sacramento days later that didn't last....long. After two songs and a long rant, Kanye dropped the mic and left, just like that. I'm so glad I went to his Oakland show because it was lit...more on that later. Fans thought the show was off to a good start, regardless of being 90 mins late, Yeezy came out with Kid Cudi and they hugged it out onstage. Cudi has been having a lightweight beef with 'Ye but they squashed it due to Cudi suffering from some issues with depression. However things started to go sideways after performing a couple of songs. His tirade included shots at Beyonce, Jay Z and Hillary Clinton. This is why they don't let Blue play with North! I was hurt. Beyoncé, I was hurt because I wanted to present a video called “Fade” and I don’t expect MTV to help me. Mr. West, I don’t respect you. I will let you know that Beyoncé is winning the video tonight for “Formation” over “Hotline Bling” and “Famous.” They told me beforehand so I wouldn’t run on stage. Hey, bruh, y’all ain’t gotta fuck with me, but you know I got the vision and you know I’mma gonna keep it real with you. Beyoncé, I was hurt. I went down seven years on behalf of your—eh, nigga! Don’t [...] no shit while I'm talking. I am putting my career, my life, my public well-standing at risk when I talk to y’all like this. This is a moment in the [...], bro. The vibes is back. The vibes is back. Motherfuckers might feel a way about this tonight. Beyoncé, I was hurt because I heard that you said you wouldn’t perform unless you won Video of the Year over me and over “Hotline Bling.” In my opinion—now, don’t go trying to diss Beyoncé. She is great. Taylor Swift is great. We are all great people. We are all equal. Kanye then took shots at Hillary Clinton saying, "The Saint Pablo tour is more relevant than radio and if y’all keep following old models, your ass is going to be Hillary Clinton. You might not like it, but they gotta hear it. I ain’t here to massage you with a fake truth, telling you that Hillary gon’ win over and over and over and then you wake up [and] you still can’t believe it! You know why? Because you was lied to by Google. You was lied to by Mark Zuckerberg." Then, at the end of the rant he fired shots at the press: But I’m going to say how I feel. Right now, press get ready to write your passive-aggressive, LeBron James, racist comments. Season 4, racist comments. Get ready to have a field day, press. Get ready, get ready. Because the show’s over. [Drops mic] If you want to read the entire rant, check it out here.
Now, if that rant wasn't enough Kanye was due to have a show at the Forum in Los Angeles, which was supposed to be a make-up concert. The show was originally scheduled for November 3rd, but was cut short due to vocal issues.
Tonight's show has been cancelled. Refunds at point of purchase.
Thankfully, fans got a refund for the cancelled show in LA and the crappy one in Sacramento.
Recent events of Kanye acting a fool has sparked a #Kanyeisoverparty, sparking the best memes and gifs. You all know the Beyhive isn't going to stand for this!
Leave it to the internet to make the ripped off fans feel better.
Even Uncle Snoop can't believe him.
So Kanye West was in the Bay Area again Thursday night...
While he was floating above all of his fans he went on one of his famous rants.
In said rant, Kanye declared had he voted, he would've voted for Trump.
Yes, you read that correctly.
Don't believe me?
Check out these videos:
In an interview with Howard Stern a few years back, Donald Trump revealed he liked Kanye and they're cool. However, he claimed Kanye marrying Kim was like ordering peas at a restaurant while Trump orders a steak. “You know the expression, ‘That’s why they have menus in restaurants?’” he continued. “I mean I go to a restaurant, I want steak. Somebody else likes peas.” .....Regardless this story all around is sad.
It's been weeks since we've all heard from Kim Kardashian West since her scary ordeal in Paris. Since Kardashian West has been radio silent, many fans were hoping she'd keep us update via her app and website. However, that's been quiet too unlike that of her sisters' sites.
On Monday afternoon Kardashian West's assistant Steph Shep updated fans on what to expect moving forward on the site while Kim is taking "some much needed time off".
Shep says Kim's family and friends will update the site with exclusives!
It's been no secret Kim has been keeping an ultra-low profile since being gagged and bound during a robbery in Paris while there for fashion week.
Just last week she was spotted in LA in a very un-Kardashian-like fashion wearing just a baggy hoodie and Vans.

In other KarJenner news, the new season of Keeping Up with the Kardashians is set to premiere October 23rd.
Kim Kardashian with Bodyguard Pascal Duvier in Paris via Instagram
Just when I decide to take a vacation, one of the biggest stories involving Kim Kardashian broke and no, she didn't put Taylor Swift on blast.
At around 3am on Monday while in Paris for Fashion Week, Kim Kardashian was allegedly upstairs in her room at the Hôtel de Pourtalèswhen about 5 masked men dressed as cops zip tied the reality star's hands and feet and gagged her with duct tape and locked her in the bathroom while robbing her of all her jewelry and two cell phones. Most famously, they took the large ring Kanye just gifted her. The loss is estimated at $10 million.
Kim was able to slip through the zip ties and cry for help. Her rep confirmed she was held at gunpoint and was unharmed but badly shaken.
The robbers gained access to Kardashian's room via the night concierge who was handcuffed.
According to reports, Kardashian West was without a body guard. He was with sisters Kendall and Kourtney. It's been said Kanye has maintained a semi-permanent residence at the Hotel for about 5 years, so Kim felt safe without security.
Fans were given a hint of the news when Kanye had to abruptly end his set at the Meadows Festival in Queens, New York. While performing Heartless, Kanye rushed off the stage after telling fans he there was a family emergency.
The pair reunited in New Jersey at the Teterboro airport and have had Presidential-like security ever since at their Manhattan abode.

Numerous reports have come out that Kardashian West feared the suspects were going to rape her as she wasn't fully clothed. There have also been rumors that this was an inside job within the hotel or within her security. There has also been talk that this is just another scheme hatched by the KarJenners to keep their names in the limelight and to promote their upcoming season.
Personally, I believe this really happened and it frightens me that this public entity doesn't have security 24/7. I was surprised and glad to see other celebs and people sticking up for Kim on how this is no laughing matter.
People making jokes about @KimKardashian tonight would do well to remember that she's a mother,a daughter,a wife,a friend.Be nice or shut up
The fashion icon told the Associated Press "(She is) too public, too public — we have to see in what time we live. You cannot display your wealth then be surprised that some people want to share it."
He added, "I don't understand why (Kardashian) was in a hotel with no security and things like this. If you are that famous and you put all your jewelry on the net you go to hotels where nobody can come near to the room."
Here's hoping Kim comes out of this stronger and smarter with her security. She's got 2 babies to be around for. I can only imagine what it's like to overcome something like this.
Some of Kim's family has broken their silence to show support for her.
We all love to hate him on Twitter and now Kanye West has finally joined Instagram.
Having only been on the social media website for two days and with only one photo, Yeezy already has 1 million followers.
Of course, the one and only photo he's shared is obscure art.
I want to see the selfies, 'Ye!
Will this give his wife a run for her selfie money?
So, does this mean he's got his phone back?
Remember he got rid of it to let his creative juices continue to flow.
FADE from frank reynolds on Vimeo.
Your girl Teyana Taylor has come a long way since singing and two-stepping No, No to her mom on MTV's My Super Sweet 16.
She broke the internet and inspired everyone to go to the gym this morning and bust out 1000 crunches.
Kanye West allegedly was allowed 4 minutes to rant and debut his new video for Fade at this year's VMAs. In his speech he mentions Ray J and Amber Rose and of course....Miss Taylor Swift. I'm over him mentioning Ray and Amber....
The video is FIRE and now everyone and their mom is asking who Teyana Taylor is.
She's giving us Flashdance vibes and then a little of Bound 2 at the end.
Of course her man and new baby make a cameo. This woman had a baby in JANUARY!!! Can you believe it!? #bodygoals
Mortgage your house. Pull out your savings. Ask your parentals or grandparents for an advance on their inheritance. Time to get your hands on that special Pablo merchandise all the Kardashians and Jenners have been rocking for the past few months.
Kanye West is announcing Pablo pop-up stores worldwide this weekend, the catch is...you won't know the exact location until 24 hours before they open.
Back in 2013, Kanye did the same thing with his Yeezus tour by opening up a pop-up in New York. Drake followed suit earlier this year with a Summer Sixteen pop-up in NYC.
According to Vogue: Each city will have its name spelled out on tees and hoodies withCali Thornhill DeWitt’s gothic scriptin a myriad of bold shades reminiscent ofthe collection West showed at Madison Square Gardenin February. And while his runway pieces might be out of reach for some—Yeezy shoes in particular have fetched astronomical prices on the resale market—his latest fashion project should give fans across the world the chance at a piece ofPablo. You better believe I'm already on the email list to find out when and where this shop is hitting SF.
Fresh off their fued with T-Swizzle, Kim and Kanye are gracing the cover of Harper's Bazaar in an interview only Kim and Kanye could do.
Click the link here to read the entire thing for yourself.
It made my brain hurt a bit.
Here are some juicy nuggets from the interview:
Kim's fave body part of Kanye's are his legs....his is Kim's heart. He was about to say her face but preferred heart. *insert aww*. Then Kim turned attention on herself and mentioned how she loves her upper abs because she's always just been blessed with them.
Johnny Depp was Kim's celebrity crush when she was young. Kanye's was Pam Anderson
Kanye thinks Muhammed Ali and Marilyn Monroe are the two historical figures both of the Wests identify with.
Kim's biggest insecurity is "looking fat sometimes". Kanye's was his debt until he announced it to everyone and now he's not.
Kanye supports Kim showing off her body, especially her nude selfies. "I think it's important for Kim to have her figure. To not show it would be like Adele not singing."
As for Kanye's nude selfies, he used to send women "c**k shots" when he was young and single to "keep it rock & roll".
When Kim's blonde, she feels she's a different Kim. It's her alter ego she says it gives her a different vibe.
Kim never knows what to get Kanye when it comes to gifts, so for his birthday she rented an island.
The both love watching Empire
If they both had the power to be invisible, Kanye would sneak into the women's locker room and Kim would sneak on her children to see what they're like when she's not there because North has funny conversations.
Kanye's random analogies make Kim laugh. Kanye says Kim's really funny but she says she never "gets credit for being funny" because it's "not a thing".
Kanye's humor is dark and twisted.
While reading the article it's entirety I noticed that Kim always reels 'Ye back to reality when he goes off-course with his answers.
Well, well well.
Somewhere Katy Perry and Calvin Harris are dying of laughter.
Sunday night, Kim Kardashian posted multiple videos to her SnapChat account PROVING Taylor Swift really did know about the line in Kanye West's Famous.
To get us all prepared for what she was about to do, Kim tweeted this:
do u guys follow me on snap chat? u really should ;-)
— Kim Kardashian West (@KimKardashian) July 18, 2016
For those of you who forgot, the line in Ye's song on the The Life of Pablo he says: For all the Southside n****s that know me best, I feel like me and Taylor might still have sex. Why? I made that bitch famous. Here are some of the snaps Kim posted via @kimksnapchats (not her IG)
For reals guys.
Kanye literally reads her the line and explains to her that since they're friends, he felt she should know what the song said about her before it was signed, sealed and delivered.
To which, Taylor says she considers it a compliment and how nice it was to tell him about it beforehand.
She even goes on to explain how they pair can turn it around on the media when the song is finally released and she can tell them all "Joke's on you! I've known about it the whole time!" Say what you want about the Westdashians, they bodied Taylor on this one.
Then, Taylor responds with this on the Twitter.
That moment when Kanye West secretly records your phone call, then Kim posts it on the Internet. pic.twitter.com/4GJqdyykQu
Wow!
Congratulations Kim!
You can't hate on her for this one, she really has made quite the name for herself, even if it all started with a sex tape that many of these girls on Instagram are trying to obtain. Kim posted the cover photo on Instagram with the hashtag #notbadforagirlwithnotalent. Kim took to her website to express her excitement for the cover. FYI in case yall forgot, your girl was on Forbes.com a while back. :)
I am incredibly proud of this cover. I was honestly so excited to shoot it—I couldn't believe it.
It's such a proud moment for me as an entrepreneur to feel recognized by being on the cover of such a prestigious business magazine. I do believe that when you set goals and work hard, you can achieve whatever you want. I remember always seeing Forbes magazines in my dad's office and never even dreamed it would be me on the cover. I'm so proud that they have given me this tremendous honor.
We shot it the day I wore the orange Pablo T-shirt and visited the Whalerock offices (where we work on my app). You guys may remember that I Snapchatted in the mirror while wearing that shirt!
The shoot was really fun: Renelou Padora styled it, Ariel Tejada did my makeup and Jen Atkin did my hair.
Wow!

It's Kanye's birthday today.
You know, the Louis Vuitton Don.
Kanye to the.
Yeezus.
Yeezy.
Look, I definitely miss the old Kanye and I normally don't celebrate his special day, but the internet has so many goodies of him eating ice cream.
It'll just make your day. Your welcome.
More than 4,000 Yeezus fans swarmed New York's East Village and Webster Hall to get a glimpse of Kanye after he announced a surprise 2am concert.
West was in NYC to headline the Governors Ball but it was cancelled because of the weather. To make use of his time, he made a guest appearance at Hot 97's Summer Jam and performed alongside Big Sean and Pusha T and even performed his new song Champions from the G.O.O.D Music collaborative Cruel Winter.
To keep the party going, a tweet went out about a pop-up concert at Webster Hall at 2am. When news broke, fans were lining up around the block to snag a ticket to see the show. Keep in mind, Webster Hall only holds 1,500 people. 90 minutes before showtime the line was 2 blocks away!
Twitter was blowing up by the amount of people starting to gather.
Here are some tweets Gothamist found:
As chaos reigned, wifey Kim Kardashian West snap chatted Ye reaching out to someone asking NYC's mayor de Blasio to block off some streets and allow for this party.
@frenchmontanaMy brother Kanye told me to come out with him at Webster hall tonight I meannnn this shit don't make sense How we goin get in 😂 never seen nothing like this #pablo#mc4#figureitout#nyc
What a cutie!
Kim Kardashian West shared the first (well, second) photo of baby Saint on her website today to commemorate her late-father's birthday.
"Today is my dad's birthday. I know there's nothing more in the world he
would have wanted than to meet his grandchildren. So I wanted to share
this pic of Saint with you all."
Kardashian Sr. died in 2003 after battling esophageal cancer.
Damn, Kimye you two make the cutest kids.
