Kardashian Dynasty: The Controversial Rise of America's Royal Family | Ian Halperin
1 post | 1 reading | 1 to read
#1 New York Times bestselling author and investigator Ian Halperin pulls back the curtain on America’s notorious Kardashian family—exposing their shaky foundation for fame—one shocking revelation at a time. The Kardashians and Jenners have taken the world by storm, collectively rising to superfame after making their reality show debut on E! with Keeping Up with the Kardashians in 2007. Since then, their family life has remained a constant circus of tabloid headlines, red carpet appearances, branding deals, reality shows and their spinoffs, and a slew of media coverage. As revered and polarizing as royalty, the Kardashians have stolen the celebrity spotlight—and they show no signs of giving it up. And yet, amidst their mega success, the Kardashians have faced a firestorm of negative publicity over the years: particularly over Kris Jenner’s role in the family. As matriarch and momager of the Kardashian clan, Kris has been accused of exploiting her children for fame and money and playing the media like a deck of cards. Based on extensive research, Ian Halperin delivers the salacious details behind the Kardashians’ rise to fame. With revelations exposing the family’s foundation as shaky at best and scandalous at worst, Halperin scrutinizes their self-made multi-million dollar brand. Focusing on three key players—Kris Jenner, Rob Kardashian, and (formerly Bruce) Caitlyn Jenner—Halperin provides an unparalleled glimpse into the events and scandals that have propelled the Kardashians to worldwide celebrity, for better or worse.

When I need a break from books, I turn to trashy TV. Here's hoping the CW's DYNASTY reboot is every bit as glorious as GOSSIP GIRL. I need a new Rich People Behaving Badly show. #30daysofreadathon

ferskner YES! I've been sad that the CW has been so heavy on superheroes lately because they used to be my go-to for teen soaps featuring rich people behaving badly. I'm so glad to get my fix again. 7y
xicanti @ferskner I just want them to produce a million of the kind of shows where someone hurtles a glass of bourbon into a fireplace, then vows revenge on the no-good bastard who screwed them over. While their Crime Lord mother lurks in the background, waiting to strike. 7y
ferskner Hahahaha! Yes, exactly! Machinations and gorgeous clothes are all I need in life. I'm assuming you've watched all of Revenge, right? 7y
xicanti @ferskner I haven't, to my shame. I missed it when it was first on, and it's not on Netflix Canada so I'm gonna have to borrow it from the library. And I always drag my heels on that because it means binge-watching, which I'm not so good at anymore. Someday, though! 7y
ferskner I think it's the ultimate show of this type. 7y
