Kanye West Home Remodel Riddled With Conflict

Published | Updated

Kanye West and Kim Kardashian went through emotional turmoil during their recent home renovation, with Kim complaining she was footing the gigantic bill herself.

Our sources say during the final taping of Khloe's talk show in April, Kim was grousing that they had sunk $8 million into their Hidden Hills remodel and it was all her money.

We're told the renovation costs swelled to $10 mil. Our sources say the main reason they sunk so much into the $20 million estate ... Kanye couldn't make his mind up. He would order a change and when it was completed he'd take a look and tell contractors to rip it out and do it another way.

We're told the remodel process has been frustrating and a source of tension for both of them, and to this day they have not spent a single night in the house that they bought 2 years ago.

Kanye West Way Worse than Sleep and Water Deprivation

Published | Updated

Kanye West is in a bad mental state ... and sources familiar with the situation tell us his hospitalization is far from over.

Our sources say as of Wednesday morning it appeared he would stay at UCLA Medical Center until at least week's end. We're told some members of Kanye's family wanted him home for Thanksgiving and felt it would do him good, but as of yesterday that looked improbable.

TMZ broke the story ... Kanye's doctor told cops he was suffering from a temporary psychosis brought on by sleep deprivation and extreme dehydration, but we're told the problems go much deeper.

A well-connected Kanye source tells us Kanye's psychological problems are significant enough so that his insurance policy -- which covers lost profits and financial obligations for cancelled concerts due to illness -- will almost certainly cover the losses for the 21 concerts he's cancelled.

TYGA IS THE TRUE TELL

Kanye West was bound to end up in a hospital ... IF you buy into the long rumored Kardashian curse supposedly haunting all the men in that family, and Akon might be a believer.

Akon was talking about Kanye's breakdown when our photog jokingly asked him if he puts any stock in the alleged curse. Akon's take is very interesting, complete with African proverbs.

Take a look ... especially if your name is Tyga.

Kim Kardashian When Going Gets Tough ... Get Going on Your Private Jet

Kim Kardashian made an early morning getaway immediately on the heels of her husband's live meltdowns.

Kim boarded a private jet Monday around 5 AM jetting out of L.A. without Kanye West on board ... according to photogs at the airport. After cancelling a concert at the last minute, attacking Beyoncé and Jay Z and backing Donald Trump -- everyone's wondering what the hell's going on with 'Ye.

Kim's departure before sunrise looks interesting -- considering Kanye's status, but truth is she's just getting back to work herself. She's scheduled to appear at Denise Rich's Angel Ball (supporting cancer research) in NYC Monday night ... where her father will be honored.

It's her first public event since the Paris robbery. Right now... it doesn't look like Kanye will be with her.

LET'S GO TOGETHER

Kim Kardashian was right by Blac Chyna's side for her first OB/GYN visit, and it's safe to say it brought the family a little closer.

This video of Kim, Chyna and Rob was shot at a Bev Hills parking structure back on April 26. At the time it seemed weird they'd be grabbing lunch together because Kim and Rob were beefing.

But now we know they'd banded together for a trip to the Kardashians' OB/GYN, Dr. Paul Crane. We broke the story ... Crane delivered little Dream, as well as Kourtney and Kim's kids.

News of Blac Chyna and Rob's pregnancy didn't leak until May 6, so the timing adds up. It means Blac Chyna was about 2 months pregnant at that point, so safe to say the baby brought the family back together.

We're told Kim and Kris referred Chyna to the man the Kardashian women trust with their lady bits ... and Crane was booked for the birth.

Kim Kardashian Ex-Bodyguard Back To Work For A Different MILF

Published | Updated

Kim Kardashian's former bodyguard has a steady paycheck again ... and this time it's coming from another smokin' hot celeb.

Pascal Duvier -- who's infamously known for not being around when Kim was robbed in Paris -- was spotted Friday working the set of Fergie's new music video.

TMZ broke the story -- Duvier, who's had Kim's back since 2012 -- was out watching Kendall and Kourtney when the robbery went down. Our Kardashian sources said his job was safe right after the incident, but clearly, someone's had a change of heart since then.

The positive for Pascal? ... This job likely carries a little less stress than protecting KK.

PLAYING STEPMOM

Rest easy, Blac Chyna ... Kylie Jenner's watching your firstborn, and we'll say this for her babysitting skills -- at least every single moment is captured on video.

Kylie was hanging with 4-year-old King Cairo -- Chyna's son with Tyga -- while BC was birthing his kid sister, Dream. Unclear if the kid got a decent meal, brushed his teeth or went to bed at a decent hour ... but he definitely knows how to use the coolest Snapchat filters! That counts for something, right?

Especially love the part where she makes King pick his fave Kardashian-Jenner.

Kendall Jenner Alleged Stalker Walks Free ... Won't See More Jail Time

Published | Updated

Kendall Jenner should be on high alert -- the guy who followed her up her driveway just walked out of an L.A. courthouse a free man.

Kendall's alleged stalker, Shavaughn McKenzie, was sentenced Thursday after being found guilty of trespassing. The judge let him take jail time over probation. He'd been behind bars since he was arrested in August. He was granted time served, so no more jail time for this case.

McKenzie's mother was in court and promised to fly him home to Virginia to seek psychiatric treatment. Also, Kendall got a 5 year restraining order against him.

We broke the story ... McKenzie was initially charged with stalking and trespassing back in August. He beat the stalking charge.

Kourtney and Scott have 3 kids of their own, so they're probably high on the potential babysitter list. Well ... Kourtney, anyway.

Outside the hospital, the Kardashian's security force -- they're not cops -- has formed a perimeter.

Kris Jenner and Corey Gamble just rolled into Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in L.A. We're told Chyna is in a posh suite upstairs, ready to deliver the baby girl by C-section. It was scheduled for 8:30 AM PT.

Our sources say there's a conflict a brewin' ... there are cameras ready to record the birth for a TV special, but some of what they want to shoot violates Cedars protocol and the family is going back and forth with the hospital.
