  • Bruce Jenner Sued for Wrongful Death in Fatal Car Crash

    Bruce Jenner has been sued for wrongful death as a result of a car crash that killed a neighbor of the Keeping Up With the Kardashians family back in February. Kim Howe was killed when Jenner’s SUV pushed her car into oncoming traffic following what might have been a simple fender bender.

    On the heels of his interview with Diane Sawyer, this likely has Bruce Jenner in a bit of a panic. Even though he wasn’t criminally charged for his part in the car crash, it’s clear that Kim Howe’s family is out for blood–or money, so it seems.

    The stepchildren of the woman killed in the crash have sued Bruce Jenner for what is expected to be a huge sum of money–although no amount has yet been disclosed to the media. The wrongful death case was filed on Friday by Dana Redmond and William Howe, who claim to have sustained ‘enormous damages.’

    The lawsuit reportedly claims that Bruce Jenner was “negligent, careless and reckless” when he slammed into Howe’s Lexus on the Pacific Coast Highway, causing it to careen into oncoming traffic where it collided head on with a Hummer.

    Alan Nierob, who serves as a publicist for Bruce Jenner, declined comment.

    During last Friday night’s interview with Diane Sawyer, which aired on ABC’s 20/20, it became quite clear that Bruce Jenner has lots of support from his family members and his friends in his transition from a man to a woman. Even ex-wives Chrystie Crownover and Linda Thompson support the Olympian. Kris Jenner shared her support prior to the interview via Twitter.

    Certainly all these people who love and are supporting Bruce Jenner through his transition will support him through this wrongful death suit, too. Hopefully it isn’t more than the Keeping Up With the Kardashians patriarch can endure.

  • Bruce Jenner: Why is Transition Docu-Series On Hold?

    Bruce Jenner hasn’t been far from the headlines in recent months. Between his recent car accident in which a neighbor of the Keeping Up With the Kardashians clan was killed, and his impending transition from a man to a woman, he’s been front and center in the media. Now, however, it seems he’s stepping back–in one way–from the press.

    It wasn’t so long ago that Diane Sawyer snagged an exclusive interview with Bruce Jenner that was said to be scheduled for airing in May. That was to be followed by a docu-series that was to follow his transition process.

    Now that docu-series is on hold.

    “Bruce’s primary goal is to bring awareness to this issue in order to help others [in the transgender community],” a source with ‘knowledge of the situation’ reports. “He is not sure that E! and a reality show is the best format to do that.”

    Bruce Jenner apparently “wants this to be taken seriously so that [his situation] can have the most positive impact on society’s perception of the transgender community,” the source adds.

    Bunim/Murray is the production company Bruce Jenner was working with to create the docu-series. Now he’s not sure the company is a good fit to chronicle his transition.

    “He wants to explore other options,” the source explains. “But Bunim/Murray are making him feel trapped in his contract and are not allowing him to explore other avenues to tell his story.”

    RadarOnline reports that Bruce dresses in drag at home, and has a closet filled with a fashionable array of women’s clothing. He certainly has lots of people in his family who can help him make the right fashion choices. With daughter Kendall Jenner walking runways around the world, and Kourtney, Khloe, and Kim Kardashian constantly adding to their clothing line, Bruce has a wealth of fashionista advice at his fingertips. Do you suppose he simply needs some more time to feel comfortable in his new gender role before proceeding with his docu-series?

    If the fit with his production company–or anything else about this docu-series–doesn’t feel right, then kudos to Bruce Jenner for putting the entire project on hold. This isn’t a peak inside a ‘freak show,’ but rather a very serious transition that requires a very difficult balance of facts and entertainment.

    It will be interesting to learn when plans for this docu-series are back in motion.

  • Kendall Jenner or Kylie Jenner: Who Did Grammys Style Better?

    Kendall Jenner and her little sister Kylie Jenner attended the Grammy Awards on Sunday, along with big sister Khloe Kardashian. But of the two Jenner girls, which one rocked their Grammys fashion better?

    It was no doubt a tough call for the Kendall, Kylie, and Khloe to even attend the Grammy Awards. Just a day ahead of the event, their father and stepfather, Bruce Jenner, was in a tragic car accident that took the life of a neighbor of the Keeping Up With the Kardashians brood. Kim Howe died when Bruce Jenner rear ended her Lexus with his Cadillac Escalade. Despite the tragedy, and Kendall Jenner running to Khloe Kardashian to seek comfort when learning the news, the girls got all dolled up and went to the Grammys just the same.

    Kendall Jenner wore an Elie Saab black knit dress that accentuated her long, lean figure. The delicate floral detailing on the skirt afforded the look just the right feminine edge. The plunging V-neck was oh-so-sexy, too.

    Kylie Jenner wore an ivory gown that appeared like she was almost nude, save for the bright red beading in geometric shapes. The hip cutouts added both drama and allure.

    Fortunately while at the Grammy Awards, Kendall Jenner flaunted her own small breasts. And lest you think that’s a strange statement, consider her recent photo shoot for Love magazine, during which she wore very large, bare, prosthetic breasts instead.

    “They were made of silicone, so after a few hours, they kind of start to droop,” photographer Panos Yiapanis explained. “We’d have to switch pairs and put them in the fridge. They were huge.”

    Do you like Kendall Jenner better with her own breasts or with these large prosthetic breasts? And which of the Jenner sisters–Kendall or Kylie–do you think rocked their Grammy fashion better?

  • Kendall Jenner Seeks Comfort from Khloe Kardashian Following Bruce Jenner Crash

    Kendall Jenner sought comfort in the form of big sister Khloe Kardashian after learning about her dad, Bruce Jenner, and the car crash he was involved in Saturday, that left one person dead.

    Unable to be with Bruce Jenner–since he was with the police in Malibu, Kendall Jenner felt powerless and didn’t want to be alone. Fortunately Khloe Kardashian was at her Calabasas home when her little sister needed her most.

    A source told the Daily Mail that Kendall appeared ‘worried and panicked’ as she drove through the gate at Khloe’s residence.

    Reports say Bruce Jenner drove into the back of a white Lexus with his large black Cadillac Escalade. The Lexus then hit a Prius, driving it into oncoming traffic. A person in the Lexus was killed. It has to be incredibly devastating for Bruce knowing his actions may be the reason that another person has died. According to L.A. County Sheriff’s officials, seven other people were injured in the crash. Bruce Jenner told authorities he was being pursued by he paparazzi, but he reportedly wasn’t speeding at the time of the crash.

    Kendall Jenner has hopefully connected with her dad by now, as it is has been almost a full day since the crash took place.

    There will no doubt be some incredibly difficult days ahead for Kendall Jenner, as well as sisters Kylie Jenner, Kim Kardashian, Khloe Kardashian, Kourtney Kardashian, and brother Rob Kardashian. Despite Bruce’s divorce from Kris Jenner, the kids have all stayed close with their dad/stepdad. Bruce’s son Brody Jenner was said to be en route to his father’s side following the crash on Saturday.

    Hopefully the support of Kendall Jenner and the rest of his children will give Bruce the support he needs. And kudos to Khloe Kardashian for being there when Kendall Jenner needed her big sister most.

  • Bruce Jenner Survives Car Crash, One Person Dead

    Bruce Jenner is apparently very lucky to be alive. The Keeping Up With the Kardashians patriarch was involved in a three vehicle crash in Malibu on Saturday that left one person dead. There are conflicting reports as to whether Bruce was a driver or a passenger in one of the vehicles. A recent report, however, says Jenner may have actually caused the crash by rear-ending a car that was pushed into oncoming traffic.

    A deputy from the Malibu Police Department released the following statement to Hollywood Life.

    “Bruce Jenner was involved in a fatal accident. He is alive and well. We don’t know his role in the accident or if he had any role at all at this point. All can tell you is that there was one fatality and the road is going to be closed until later tonight,” a Deputy Knott told the publication.

    TMZ is reporting that a witness told them that Bruce Jenner was, in fact, a driver in the car that likely caused the fatal collision. CNN is also reporting Jenner as the driver who caused the crash.

    Jenner reportedly told officers at the scene that he was being chased by the paparazzi. He took a field sobriety test at the scene and passed.

    This isn’t the first time that the paparazzi has been responsible for a fatal accident, if that was actually the case here. Princess Diana was killed when the car she was a passenger in was being chased by the paparazzi. Bruce Jenner has been hounded even more recently since word of his transition from a man to a woman has made headlines. He wasn’t filming an episode of Keeping Up With the Kardashians at the time of the crash.

    Bruce Jenner must be devastated to have been involved in this deadly accident. More details about the accident are sure to emerge in the next day or so.
