The Kardashians

Khloe Kardashian and Lamar Odom may have pulled the plug on their reality show, but E! wants desperately to stay in business with her, and they're already working on another spin-off ... TMZ has learned.

We broke the story ... Khloe and Lamar have notified E! that they will no longer do the 3rd season of their reality show so Lamar can focus on his basketball career.

But sources connected with E! tell TMZ ... the network is talking with Khloe about a spin-off show similar to her other show, "Kourtney and Khloe Take Miami."

Khloe Kardashian and Lamar Odom are giving up on their spin-off show -- and he's determined to get back to the NBA ... so he might want to find some new practice partners. Just sayin' ...

Lamar Odom and Khloe Kardashian have decided to pull the plug on their spin-off show "Khloe & Lamar."

Sources tell TMZ, the show's second season will be its last ... because Lamar wants to focus on reviving his fizzling NBA career. We're told E! is still trying to convince the couple to reconsider, but K&L are standing firm ... they just don't want to do it anymore.

As we previously reported, Lamar was relegated to the Dallas Mavericks' inactive list after putting up career low numbers this season. If he's lucky, he'll be traded. If not, who knows ...

But we're told Lamar is determined to make a comeback -- and he feels he should focus on only one project. Lamar will be living in L.A. full-time and he's hired trainers to help him get his game back.

According to sources, Khloe and Lamar WILL make occasional appearances on the reality mother ship,"Keeping Up with the Kardashians" -- but that's it. No mas.

Kim Kardashian left the side of Kanye West to head to Washington, D.C. this afternoon ... touching down in our nation's capital in advance of the White House Correspondents' Dinner.

Yes we can.

Say what you will about Kim Kardashian ... but she doesn't hold grudges, because our spies tell us she made peace last night with the actor who has been trashing her -- Jon Hamm.

Kim and Jon were both on a special live version of "30 Rock" Thursday night. Kim had a pretty small part but she slayed everyone at the end (take a look at the video).

Jon Hamm was also on the show, did his thing. You'll recall Jon went after Kim with a vengeance last month, saying Kim was stupid and a "f**king idiot."

But after the show last night, we're told they both spoke to each other and, as Kim told a friend, "We laughed it all off." Kim also said Jon was "very sweet and very respectful."

With Kanye West nowhere in sight, Kim Kardashian spent some quality time with her world famous gigantic badonkadonk while out spending her share of her $40 million reality TV deal in NYC on Thursday.

A derriere can be a girl's best friend too.

Kim Kardashian and Lindsay Lohan will be seated at the same table Saturday night at the White House Correspondents' Dinner ... TMZ has learned.

Kim and Lindsay were both invited by Fox News Channel and they will be face-to-face at the table ... sources planning the event tell TMZ.

As for whether there are any grudges between the two -- we're told there are none. In fact, Kim has been supportive of Lindsay during her troubles and Lindsay attended Kim's wedding. We're told they are pretty close.

The big question -- Will Kim and Lindsay meet Prez Obama? One source directly involved with the event tells us, "No way. The President almost never mingles with the guests."

Time to divvy up the Kardashians' new $40 million deal -- and there's plenty of cash to go around ... as long as your name isn't Lamar or Scott.

2:04 PM PST -- Sources connected to the deal tell TMZ ... Kim, Kourtney, Khloe, Kris and Bruce will get the lion's share of the money ... and they are each getting equal pay.

We're told Kendall, Kylie and Rob are on a lower pay grade -- and will be paid equally as well.

Scott Disick and his son Mason have a separate deal. Ditto for Lamar ... who hammered out a package deal to appear in both "Khloe and Lamar" and "Keeping Up with the Kardashians."

We're told the new deal ONLY includes existing shows -- so if Kim and Kanye get a new spinoff show ... they will have to bang out a new contract for even MORE money.

The Kardashian family has just signed on for 3 more seasons with E!, and it's the richest deal ever in reality TV ... TMZ has learned.

Sources connected with the deal tell us, the family will get more than $40 million for 3 more seasons of "Keeping Up with the Kardashians."

The 6th season of the show averaged 3 million viewers. The 7th season begins airing May 20.

It's official .. Kim Kardashian's earlobes are fully committed to Kanye West.

Kim arrived at LAX this weekend sporting 2 yellow gold and diamond earrings in each one of her ears -- a K and a W -- which obviously stand for Kanye West.

The two have only been dating for a few weeks ... but it seems they're moving pretty fast. They've already been on multiple dates, had ice cream together and Kanye even wrote a rap song dissing Kim's ex.

So, we gotta ask ...

Kanye West met Kim Kardashian's family yesterday in New York and according to our sources ... the Kardashian clan absolutely loved him.

According to our sources, Kanye and Kim were excited for the family gathering and the opportunity to show them just how great they are together.

We're told the meeting went great and the family thinks they make the perfect couple.

Kim Kardashian's brand new white Ferrari had its first brush with the law Wednesday night ... TMZ has learned.

An LAPD officer pulled over the expensive whip after noticing it didn't have license plates. But when he got to the driver's side window ... Kim wasn't behind the wheel ... or even in the car.

Instead, we're told the driver was a nice young man with a perfectly good explanation.

Turns out ... Kim had loaned it out to Platinum Motor Sports for a photo shoot earlier in the day -- and an assistant was tasked with the job of returning the car to its famous owner ... when he was popped for the plate problem.

Kim Kardashian better not be counting on Michael Clarke Duncan's vote -- because dude laughed so hard when he caught wind of KK's political aspirations ... his girlfriend got pissed.

MCD and Omarosa Stallworth were outside Staples Center when a camera guy told them Kim's considering a run for Glendale, CA city council and eventually mayor. Michael's awesomely honest response -- "No she's not! Are you playing? Are you serious?"

But Omarosa immediately had Kim's back, saying ... "Run girl, run! You can win."

The whole thing quickly melted down into a heated debate -- Lamar Odom's name even got dragged through the mud.

They laughed when Ronald Reagan ran for Governor of California. They scoffed when Arnold Schwarzenegger followed in Reagan's footsteps. So don't dismiss us when we tell you ... there's a serious move in Glendale, CA to make Kim Kardashian its mayor -- and we know Kim is on board.

Kim made a comment on Khloe and Lamar's show that she was mulling over the idea of running in the city that is a bastion for Armenians.

But now ... several prominent Armenians in Glendale are backing Kim. Former Mayor and current City Councilman Ara Najarian offered to make Kim his Chief of Staff to teach her local politics. What's more ... Artin Sarkissian -- a prominent Glendale realtor -- has offered to find Kim a home in Glendale.

So our Kim sources tell us KK can't believe the response she's getting and she's "seriously considering" buying a house in Glendale and taking Councilman Najarian up on his offer.

The only thing is -- Kim must run for City Council before she's eligible to become Mayor. Members of the City Council rotate into the position of Mayor -- and one thing Kim is good at ... rotating.

There was a huge mob of people at the Kardashian family clothing store DASH yesterday ... but they weren't there to shop, they were there to protest.

Holding various un-clever signs, a group of people stood outside the store in Calabasas to protest the store's selling of fur ... despite the fact Kim Kardashian maintains the store does not even sell fur.

Kanye West has his work cut out for him ... 'cause Kim Kardashian's step-father Bruce Jenner has made it clear ... he's "not that excited" about Kim's new relationship.

Bruce made his feelings known during a speaking engagement at Northeastern University in Boston Wednesday night ... when someone in the crowd asked for his opinion on the new K+K hookup.

Jenner told the audience ... "I'm not that excited, but we'll see. Kimberly and I have had a conversation about them and their potential relationship."

Sources close to the family tell us ... Bruce has expressed concern that she might be rushing into things and wants her to be "careful" ... considering she just came out of a pretty serious relationship.

We're told Bruce's feelings aren't personal against Kanye ... in fact, we're told he likes the rapper ... Bruce just wants Kim to proceed with caution when diving into ANY relationship.
