Kardashian Family Empire: Losing Steam?

They’ve enjoyed a privileged place atop the entertainment industry for years, but now it seems the Kardashian family may have hit a few bumps in the road.
According to a report, the “Keeping Up with the Kardashians” stars have lost a couple of merchandising deals in recent weeks, including a Kardashian-themed magazine.


American Media Inc supposedly dropped the project when Kris Jenner’s demands became too intrusive for their liking.
An insider told press, "AMI chief David Pecker made it clear that there was no way he was going to tell his editors what stories they could and couldn't do."

Additionally, Mattel has scrapped plans to produce Kardashian-themed Barbie dolls. "As popular as the Kardashian sisters are, at this point in time we are not manufacturing Barbie-branded Kardashian dolls.
