  • Bruce Jenner Interview With Diane Sawyer to Air April 24th

    Bruce Jenner will sit down and talk with Diane Sawyer on ABC’s primetime news program 20/20 on April 24th. The interview will detail the past few months of his transition from a man to a woman.

    It was first announced back in February that Sawyer had landed the interview with Bruce Jenner, but after the Keeping Up With the Kardashians patriarch was involved in a fatal car crash shortly thereafter, there was some speculation that the interview would be delayed. It had, however, taken place prior to the crash.

    People magazine reports that it was initially believed the interview with Diane Sawyer would serve as a walk-up to Bruce Jenner’s docu-series about his transition that was expected to run on E! at a later date. However, production on the show has halted because Jenner isn’t certain the production company, Bunim/Murray, is the right fit for him.

    Bruce Jenner–The Interview is the title of Diane Sawyer’s interview with Jenner. His family–daughters Kylie and Kendall Jenner, sons Burt, Brandon, and Brody Jenner, and stepdaughters Kourtney, Khloe, and Kim Kardashian all support the transition.

    “I think everyone goes through things in life, and I think that story and what Bruce is going through, I think he’ll share whenever the time is right,” Kim Kardashian told Entertainment Tonight back in February. “I feel like that’s his journey to talk about.”

    Bruce Jenner’s mother, Esther Jenner, is very supportive of her son, too.

    “It takes a lot of courage to do what he’s doing,” she told the Associated Press during an interview several weeks ago. “He said, ‘Mom, I’m still the same person.’ He said, ‘I’m still going to race cars, I’m still going to fly airplanes and I’m going to get my helicopter license.’”

    Diane Sawyer will interview Bruce Jenner at 9:00 PM ET on April 24th. Will you be tuning in to 20/20 to hear what he has to say?

  • Farrah Abraham Supports Bruce Jenner’s Plastic Surgery Pursuits

    Farrah Abraham of Teen Mom OG is a big fan of plastic surgery. Not only has she had several cosmetic procedures herself, but also hopes one day to pursue a career in the field. Abraham recently indicated her support of Bruce Jenner with regard to plastic surgery, too.

    Bruce Jenner is, of course, about to undergo a transition from a male to a female. And regardless of how intense his transformation may be, he will no doubt undergo some plastic surgery. Many believe he has had procedures on his face and neck already. Farrah Abraham supports anything he chooses to do wholeheartedly.

    “I feel like if somebody wants to do that and change themselves…that’s his own choice and there’s nothing wrong with it,” she said recently.

    Farrah Abraham also loves the notion of Bruce Jenner starring in a docu-series that will share his transition experience with TV viewers.

    “If he has an opportunity to do a TV show and share his experience and hope for the better so that others who are in that same situation can relate and become more happier with themselves and not hide things, then yes, all the more power to Bruce Jenner,” she says.

    Alas the docu-series about Bruce Jenner’s transition is on hold for the time being, so it seems everyone–including Farrah Abraham–will have to wait a bit longer to learn what his ordeal entails.

    In the meantime, you can be sure that Farrah Abraham–being the plastic surgeon buff that she is–will share her commentary on any procedures the Keeping Up With the Kardashians patriarch undergoes in the coming months.

    Does Farrah Abraham’s interest in Bruce Jenner surprise you? Maybe she truly is destined to work in the plastic surgery field.

  • 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.

  • Diane Sawyer Lands Bruce Jenner Interview: Will Talk Transitioning to Woman?

    Diane Sawyer has reportedly landed an official interview with Bruce Jenner, and it’s said to be one during which he will spill the beans about transitioning from a man to a woman. The Keeping Up With the Kardashians patriarch has stayed mum on rumors about his sexual identity, but photos seen in the press over the past year or so have caused most to wonder.

    Fans of Bruce Jenner, Kris Jenner, and the entire Kardashian empire will have a while yet to wait, however. Diane Sawyer may be interviewing Bruce Jenner in the near future, but it won’t be aired on TV until May. An ABC source confirmed all of this to Page Six on Monday.

    Us Weekly reported a little over a week ago that Bruce Jenner would grant one TV interview, but it was uncertain at that point to whom he would grant it. Sources say NBC executives are upset over his decision to go with Diane Sawyer over at ABC–especially because NBCUniversal owns E!, the network that airs Keeping Up With the Kardashians, and the one that will reportedly air Bruce Jenner’s upcoming docu-series on his transition from male to female.

    Up until very recently, Bruce Jenner’s family has denied that anything unusual was going on with their father, stepfather, and ex-husband. Even Kris Jenner has come to his defense. A little over a week ago, however, Kim Kardashian made a comment during an interview with Entertainment Tonight that led many to believe there was definitely more to the story.

    “I think everyone goes through things in life and I think that story and what Bruce is going through, I think he’ll share whenever the time is right,” Kim Kardashian said. “I feel like that’s his journey to talk about.”

    And it is.

    Diane Sawyer has scored the privilege of being the one to bring Bruce Jenner and his impending transition to light.

    Will you look forward to hearing Diane Sawyer interview Bruce Jenner in May? It will be intriguing to learn what’s going on with the Keeping Up With the Kardashians patriarch. It will no doubt feel good to Bruce Jenner to unleash this secret he’s long been keeping.

  • Kris Jenner Fears Fallout from Bruce Jenner TV Show

    Kris Jenner fears there may be some significant fallout from ex-husband Bruce Jenner’s rumored new TV show. The docu-series the Keeping Up With the Kardashians patriarch is reportedly in talks about would cover his transition from a male to a female.

    Bruce Jenner has long been surrounded by speculation that he wants to become a woman. Earlier this week it was reported that Bruce would address the rumors in a new TV show, and Kris Jenner isn’t happy about the plans.

    “Kris is absolutely in meltdown crisis mode over Bruce’s decision to go public with his decision to transition to becoming a woman,” a source told Radar Online. “She’s been in denial about it for years. But now Kris thinks it’s extremely selfish for Bruce to be doing this at this time.”

    Kris Jenner isn’t just ‘mom’ to her famous daughters. She also plays manager to their careers.

    “Their oldest daughter, Kendall Jenner, who is 19, is at the height of a modeling career, and Kris doesn’t want anything to jeopardize that,” the source continued. “Kris is concerned about the fall-out.”

    The source added, too, that Kris Jenner is big on looking out for number one.

    “As always, the only thing Kris cares about is herself. But Bruce could not care less what Kris is feeling, and that is driving her even more out of her mind.”

    Bruce Jenner took a backseat to Kris Jenner and the entire Keeping Up With the Kardashians enterprise throughout most of their marriage. Maybe it’s time for Kris–and everyone else–to let Bruce Jenner be Bruce Jenner.

    Do you think Kris Jenner has a legitimate claim? Might Bruce’s transformation from male to female–if it plays out on TV–have a negative impact on any of their daughter’s careers?

    It doesn’t seem likely, does it? The fashion world is filled with LGBT designers and models. It seems that world would embrace Kendall Jenner rather than ostracize her because of her dad’s sexuality.

    Is Kris Jenner really just concerned about Kris Jenner in this instance? Maybe it’s time the Keeping Up With the Kardashians ‘momager’ learns that everything isn’t all about her.
