Rob Kardashian and Blac Chyna Want Their Own Reality Show (Video) Rob Kardashian and Blac Chyna Want Their Own Reality Show (Video) Rob Kardashian and Blac Chyna want their own reality TV show. Although reclusive Rob hasn’t appeared on his family’s show Keeping Up With The Kardashians in some time, he is interested in a project with his new girlfriend. A source told PEOPLE: “Rob and Chyna are hoping for a spin-off. Chyna doesn’t want to film with Rob’s family. They both think a spin-off is the best business decision. They have had meetings and things look promising.” It’s not surprising that the model doesn’t want to film with her boyfriend’s family as she has been engaged in a long-running feud with his younger sister Kylie Jenner, who is dating Blac’s ex-fiance Tyga. Today, March 17, is also Rob Kardashian’s birthday. The following is from People Happy birthday, Rob Kardashian! The reality star turned 29 on Thursday, and his famous family has taken social media by storm to send their wishes. First, mom Kris Jenner took to Instagram to share one very sweet birthday message for her only son. Rob Khardashian (Instagram) “Happy Birthday Rob!! God blessed me beyond measure the day you were born,” she captioned a throwback black-and-white shot of Kardashian. “You are the most amazing man who is kind, funny, smart and you have the best heart. You are beautiful inside and out and have brought so much joy into my life. Thank you for being the best son a Mom could ever dream of…I love you soooo much @robkardashian and I’m so proud of you. Mommy #blessed #love #happybirthdayrob.”.

  • Constructing, Programming, and Branding Celebrity on Reality Television
    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles Producing Reality Stardom: Constructing, Programming, and Branding Celebrity on Reality Television A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the Requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in Film and Television by Lindsay Nicole Giggey 2017 © Copyright by Lindsay Nicole Giggey 2017 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Producing Reality Stardom: Constructing, Programming, and Branding Celebrity on Reality Television by Lindsay Nicole Giggey Doctor of Philosophy in Film and Television University of California, Los Angeles, 2017 Professor John T. Caldwell, Chair The popular preoccupation with celebrity in American culture in the past decade has been bolstered by a corresponding increase in the amount of reality programming across cable and broadcast networks that centers either on established celebrities or on celebrities in the making. This dissertation examines the questions: How is celebrity constructed, scheduled, and branded by networks, production companies, and individual participants, and how do the constructions and mechanisms of celebrity in reality programming change over time and because of time? I focus on the vocational and cultural work entailed in celebrity, the temporality of its production, and the notion of branding celebrity in reality television. Dissertation chapters will each focus on the kinds of work that characterize reality television production cultures at the network, production company, and individual level, with specific attention paid to programming focused ii on celebrity making and/or remaking. Celebrity is a cultural construct that tends to hide the complex labor processes that make it possible. This dissertation unpacks how celebrity status is the product of a great deal of seldom recognized work and calls attention to the hidden infrastructures that support the production, maintenance, and promotion of celebrity on reality television.

  • Rob Kardashian, His Then-Fiancée Blac Chyna and Their Pregnancy/Newborn Daughter, for One Season
    The Neoliberal Life of the “Failing” Kardashian: Robert Kardashian On (Not) Keeping up with the Kardashians Leah Groenewoud (Third year, RLCT/GEND Major) GEND 3076 Dr. Wendy Peters April 5, 2015 Introduction Keeping up with the Kardashians (KUWTK) is a reality television show that follows the lives of the Kardashian family – a famous, upper-class Californian family consisting of Kris Jenner (the Kardashians’ mother and business manager), her (now ex-) husband Caitlyn Jenner and their children. Kris’ children include Kourtney, Kim, Khloe and Robert Kardashian, and Kris and Caitlyn have two younger children, Kendall and Kylie Jenner. Rob & Chyna is a reality TV spin-off of KUWTK which followed Rob Kardashian, his then-fiancée Blac Chyna and their pregnancy/newborn daughter, for one season. This paper will employ a textual analysis of these two shows to analyze how Robert Kardashian’s life and life choices are portrayed as personal failures. Conversations and information about Rob – in the 12 episodes across 6 seasons of KUWTK, and 6 episodes of season 1 of Rob & Chyna which I studied – are consistently about how Rob must change, and that he is not happy or successful the way he is. Robert Kardashian is consistently portrayed as a failure, which this paper will clarify to mean a neoliberal failure. This paper will analyze the neoliberal logics of the narratives about Robert and the way he lives, including narratives about his health, his (lack of) independence and self-esteem, his marriageability and employability.i I will conclude with an analysis of how KUWTK and Rob & Chyna facilitate a ‘panoptic existence’ for Rob, in which his family, the viewers and even himself surveil and regulate Rob.

  • The Kardashians and the Ruminating Strategy
    Sociology Study, July 2018, Vol. 8, No. 7, 345‐350 D doi: 10.17265/2159‐5526/2018.07.005 DAVID PUBLISHING The Kardashians and the Ruminating Strategy Claudia Lisa Moellera Abstract Many have wondered in these years about the reason behind the huge success the Kardashian (‐Jenner) family raised and gained. Even if the reality show might not be one of the most innovative, nor original television products, it is impossible to see how the Kardashian’s clan managed to become something more than a family who likes to air their dirty (and maybe expansive) laundry in public. Albeit there are different reality shows that have portrayed almost every possible family: religious, heavy metal, gipsy, wealthy Californian, dysfunctional, party animals; the Kardashians celebrated in 2018 their 10 years of reality shows. This might appear a silly, and not even a big deal: TV shows have existed for longer time in the American (and not only) panorama, yet the Kardashian made it possible to conquest with their unique style, and communication strategy something that other reality shows families did not reach. What did the Kardashians do? The Kardashians created a new communication strategy that allowed them to be the most popular family on three different media: press, television, and social media. Keywords Kardashian, Søren Kierkegaard, hermeneutics of television, internet and television, reality shows The Kardashians forged a new type of communication Indeed, the Kardashians’ material is rarely new. strategy that involves different media, in which every The ability of this family and the key of their success media explains and gives different elements to rely on the ability to use and re-use the same material understand part of the story that another media has and stories all over again.

    THE PENNSYLVANIA STATE UNIVERSITY SCHREYER HONORS COLLEGE DEPARTMENT OF COMMUNICATION ARTS & SCIENCES “I THOUGHT ABOUT KILLING YOU”: CONSIDERING THE UTILITY OF RHETORICAL AND BIOGRAPHICAL CRITICAL APPROACHES TO KANYE WEST’S YE CORY N. STEINLE SPRING 2020 A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for baccalaureate degrees in Communication Arts and Sciences and Labor and Employment Relations with honors in Communication Arts and Sciences Reviewed and approved* by the following: Bradford Vivian Professor of Communication Arts & Sciences Thesis Supervisor Lori Bedell Associate Teaching Professor in Communication Arts & Sciences Honors Adviser * Signatures are on file in the Schreyer Honors College. i ABSTRACT This paper examines the merits of intrinsic and extrinsic critical approaches to hip-hop artifacts. To do so, I provide both a neo-Aristotelian and biographical criticism of three songs from ye (2018) by Kanye West. Chapters 1 & 2 consider Roland Barthes’ The Death of the Author and other landmark papers in rhetorical and literary theory to develop an intrinsic and extrinsic approach to criticizing ye (2018), evident in Tables 1 & 2. Chapter 3 provides the biographical antecedents of West’s life prior to the release of ye (2018). Chapters 4, 5, & 6 supply intrinsic (neo-Aristotelian) and extrinsic (biographical) critiques of the selected artifacts. Each of these chapters aims to address the concerns of one of three guiding questions: which critical approaches prove most useful to the hip-hop consumer listening to this song? How can and should the listener construct meaning? Are there any improper ways to critique and interpret this song? Chapter 7 discusses the variance in each mode of critical analysis from Chapters 4, 5, & 6.

Kim’s level of fame is on par with that of the late Princess Diana, so you adopt a CIA mindset around her. Having secured the balcony’s perimeter, Sonny and I looked to the open sky, then to each other. No words were exchanged, but ours was a deep understanding. If helicopter paps came, and there wasn’t enough time to move Kim inside, I would have to sit on her. As laughter turns to near-silent shriek, I jump up. “I’m OK, thank you so much for grabbing that!” says Kim, drama-free, as I liberate her from a plank of mahogany. Sonny too bolts to action via the balcony doors. Kim laughs, apologetically. “Thank you,” she repeats. “It’s not your fault.” The accident came, oddly, while Kim was relating a tale about her neighbour, comedian Kathy Griffin, who has been snooping on Kim too, albeit unintentionally.

    ISSN 0216-5031 H a l a m a n | 81 The Kardashians : A Parasocial Phenomenon Joshua Eldi Setio Mahasiswa Jurusan Hubungan Internasional, Fakultas Ilmu Sosial dan Ilmu Politik, Universitas Katolik Parahyangan Abstrak Tayangan Realitas Keeping Up With The Kardashians membawa keuntungan besar pada keluarga Kardashian yang sekarang menikmati ketenaran dan kekayaan dari kegiatan tersebut tetapi apakah yang membuat keluarga Kardashian menjadi sangat terkenal? Mereka tidak menampilkan tarian atau menyanyi, mereka hanya tampil di acara realitas yang menampilkan kegiatan sehari-hari mereka dan mereka dibayar jutaan dollar untuk melakukannya, mereka juga membombardir para penggemar mereka dengan gambar dan snap tentang keseharian mereka. Paper ini dibuat untuk menjelaskan sebuah fenomena media internasional yang dimanfaatkan oleh keluarga Kardashian: penggunaan Soft Propaganda dalam berbagai sarana untuk memasarkan diri mereka kepada para pemirsa, Soft Propaganda sendiri mengacu kepada kegiatan propaganda yang memiliki tujuan untuk tujuan low politics yang tidak bersifat konfliktual seperti propaganda masa perang yang digunakan untuk menghadirkan dikotomi “kita-mereka”. Fenomena ini bukanlah sesuatu yang baru karena kita semua tahu bahwa setiap propaganda menggunakan interaksi parasosial untuk mempengaruhi para penerima pesan, tetapi dengan pengembangan teknologi media komunikasi membuat dampaknya jauh lebih besar di masa digital. Sejak lama sudah terbukti bahwa Komunikan dapat merasakan keintiman dengan komunikator tanpa harus bertemu secara langsung , namun peristiwa ini juga dapat menimbulkan masalah psikologis seperti radikalisasi dan pemujaan berlebihan terhadap idola. Memahami isu ini dapat membantu kita mengerti tentang penggunaan propaganda dalam lingkup sehari – hari baik dalam konteks bisnis maupun politik. Paper ini juga bertujuan untuk mengembalikan ketertarikan para peneliti kontemporer terhadap studi kebudayaan modern. Kata Kunci : Keintiman Para-Sosial, Kardashian, Propaganda, Media.
