portrayed this way.

Gomez continued, “You know, she’s young, she’s got so much talent… so I don’t take it to heart.”

Kris Jenner Slams RadarOnline For Claiming She Wants to Change Last Name Back to Kardashian

Kris Jenner is slamming RadarOnline for claiming she wants to change her last name in the wake of her separation from husband Bruce .
The webloid had quoted an “insider” who alleged “Kris has seriously been thinking about changing her last name back to Kardashian.”
“Kris always considered [her ex-husband] Robert Kardashian to be the love of her life, and their family empire is built on the Kardashian name,” claimed RadarOnline’s supposed source, adding, “It would be so much simpler if Kris just changed her name back.”
The story seems to be based on little more than an old “Keeping Up with the Kardashians” episode, where Jenner briefly contemplated making the change.
But Jenner says that RadarOnline’s claims that she’s now thinking of finally following through with it are patently false.
“When are people going to realize Radar is owned by the same people who own Star and the [ National] Enquirer ?” asks the matriarch.
She adds to E! News , “I’d like to think people are smarter than to believe this stuff. It’s all rubbish.”
