The Kardashians

We expected Tyga to go on a profanity-laced tirade after his ex, Blac Chyna put his texts to her on Instagram for the world to see -- but instead he's taking a low-key approach ... at least for now.

Blac Chyna posting the texts was her going nuclear in her war with Kylie Jenner -- but Tyga is clearly a casualty too. In the messages, Tyga (who is apparently "Kings Father" in BC's phone) begs, "Can I just come for a lil. Just us 3. Do something or spend a lil time."

The direct shot at Kylie comes when he allegedly tells BC he wants "to be a family again" -- and adds, "Want to start this friendship. Relationship."

Tyga responded early Friday morning, writing, "Focus on what's real in life. And surround yourself with people that you really care about.its simple."

Not sure how long cooler heads will prevail in this mess.

Bruce Jenner is making a lot of decisions these days, but it's not as if he knows where he'll end up.

ABC released a new promo for the Diane Sawyer special Friday night, and this time you get a sense of Bruce's journey.

Another sign Khloe Kardashian isn't over Lamar Odom -- she Instagrammed a photo of her L.O. tattoo ... and punctuated it with a heart emoji in the caption.

The pic shows Khloe gripping her Bentley shift knob ... and showcasing the tat she got for Odom right after they got married in 2009.

Despite the fact they separated in 2013, Khloe has dragged her feet with the divorce -- and we're told she's still conflicted on whether she truly wants to end her marriage to the ex-NBA star.

This picture seems to support the theory that there's still hope for a reconciliation.

Stay tuned ...

If looks killed, Kanye West and Kim Kardashian would have been booked for slaying Amy Schumer right on the red carpet of Time's fancy 100 most influential gala.

Amy went for a quick laugh Tuesday night as Kimye cruised into the event -- faking a fall right in front of them as they posed for pics. Now, every comic knows a good pratfall gets a laugh every time ... UNLESS you're playing to an audience of 2 who ain't having it one bit.

Yeezy and KK's faces said it all ... 100% pure unimpressed shade.

As for where Amy got the ridiculous idea it's fun to upstage people? Who knows ... maybe Taylor Swift and Beck have a clue.

Kris Jenner was in the dark about Bruce's desire to become a woman during their entire marriage ... this according to sources directly and closely connected to Kris.

Our sources say Kris says Bruce did speak with her 25 years ago about his feelings, but she says he talked about his "tendency" to dress like a woman ... not to become one.

We're told Kris insists the subject never came up again during their entire marriage. She also says she never saw Bruce dressed as a woman during their entire relationship.

Our sources connected with Bruce tell a different story ... that she knew full well he was very conflicted about his gender.

Kris tells our sources the subject of sexual transition did not come up until after they were divorced. In fact our sources say Bruce told the girls about it before Kris.

One other thing ... we're told reports that Kris might take legal action against Bruce if he speaks negatively about her are untrue.

Blac Chyna has gone all high school on Kylie Jenner, posting a cartoonish pic of herself mocking the lip challenge of her nemesis.

Tyga must be chuckling ... his baby mama and current "girlfriend" embroiled in a lip lock.

L.A. County Sheriff's deputies paid a visit to Bruce Jenner's Malibu house Tuesday ... then went on the hunt for the paparazzi who have been perched on a nearby hillside and taking aim with telephoto lenses.

It's illegal for photogs to use telephoto lenses to invade the private spaces of the people they're shooting.

The photographers took pics of Jenner earlier in the day that were being peddled around town. They've also taken pics over the last week from the same perch and Bruce has confronted them. He said he would call the cops if they came back. Tuesday Bruce made good on his promise.

Kylie finally responded to the trend, tweeting, "I'm not here to try & encourage people/young girls to look like me or to think this is the way they should look … I want to encourage people/young girls like me to be YOURSELF & not be afraid to experiment w your look."

The #kyliejennerchallenge has caused some of Kylie Jenner's super fans big problems ... and it's not just their giant lips.

It was bound to happen ... a day after the hashtag blew up online, complaints and pics of disturbing injuries from pissed fans who pushed the limits are now flooding social media.

Before you search #KylieJennerChallengeGoneWrong we have to warn you ... some of the injuries are EXTREMELY GRAPHIC ... ranging from simple bruises to extensive trauma requiring hospitalization.

Keep in mind Kylie never asked anyone to plump up but some of the results have been painful to say the least. Some recent tweets include ... "my lips bleeding and they hurt like hell" and "god help my lips."

Kylie Jenner's barrage of Instagram pics flaunting her plumped up booty and lips ... earned her a ton of criticism, but even more copycats.

Fans and haters alike are trying to go plus-size too. Results are mixed. At best.

Kylie Jenner pretty clearly has a fan base that wants her lips, whether they're real or not.

Truth be told, our office is divided. The guys think these girls in the video are mocking Kylie by putting their lips inside a bottle to swell them up, but the women in the office say the girls are trying to be just like the youngest Jenner. Since the men here have never been teenage girls, the women win.

The hashtag, #kyliejennerchallenge, is blowing up.

BTW Kylie has insisted in the past, "These plastic surgery rumors hurt my feelings to be honest and are kinda insulting ... Just in case anyone forgot... I'm 16."

Kourtney Kardashian celebrated her 36 birthday Saturday night in Vegas with boyfriend Scott Disick ... and he looks less than enthused.

The bash was thrown at 1OAK. There was a pretty big crowd, sans all the other Kardashians. Kim's at home in L.A., Kylie's at Coachella with Tyga and Kendall.

Khloe was busy Saturday night throwing a shindig for her new group messaging app called Regroupd.

Khloe Kardashian is a good sister by all accounts, but there are limits to schlepping to every celebration when lots of loot is on the line.

Kourtney turns 36 Saturday and she's having a big shindig at 1OAK in Vegas. But Khloe will be ensconced at Coachella, where she's hosting a private party for her new group messaging app called Regroupd.

Khloe's rented out a big house in the desert, where she's expecting 100 celebs, who will be well fed. There will be 2 food trucks -- Coolhaus Ice Cream and Umami Burger.

Beer pong tables are at the ready, as is pool basketball.

Khloe will roam the backyard giving celebs tutorials on her app.

Given that the Kardashians now have more money than God, it's possible Khloe could take a private jet to Vegas after her party.

The baptism of North West was like any Kardashian event ... a total and complete circus.

Kim Kardashian, Kanye West and Khloe Kardashian showed up Monday afternoon to the Saint James Cathedral -- an Armenian church in Jerusalem -- to baptize 22-month-old North.

Kim was mobbed as she walked into the church, shielding baby North from the massive crowd that had gathered outside the church.

Once the ceremony was over, Kim and Kanye reportedly had lunch with the mayor of Jerusalem, Nir Barkat.

Just another quiet Kardashian family gathering.

Kim Kardashian, Kanye West and North West have left Armenia for the Holy Land ... and the end game is watering the baby.

It was supposed to be an 8 day trip to Armenia, but they bailed 5 days in and jumped on a plane to Jerusalem.

North West will be baptized in a 12th-century Armenian church, according to the Jerusalem Post.

It's interesting ... cameras for "Keeping Up with the Kardashians" are recording the entire trip, and Kanye is happily playing along.

Turns out Yeezus can't walk on water, he just falls in it like the rest of us.

Kanye West performed a free concert Sunday night in the capital of Armenia, which came to an end after Kanye jumped into Swan Lake ... and dozens of fans followed suit.

Kanye's been over there with Kim Kardashian all week as she taps into her Armenian roots -- and shoots scenes for 'Keeping Up With the Kardashians'. He performed six songs: "Stronger," "Jesus Walks," "Power," "Touch the Sky," "All of the Lights" and "Good Life."

Kim and Kanye have turned Armenia upside down ... creating pandemonium among fans, photogs and soldiers.

The video is insane. They were leaving the genocide memorial when everyone just went nuts. It's weird ... the most moving symbol marking the 100th anniversary of the genocide looks more like a Hollywood event.
