The Kardashians IN OUTER SPACE

They’ll boldy go where no other reality TV star has gone before

Reality shows, selfies, make-up ranges and… space travel? The Kardashian family know how to expand their brand better than anyone on planet Earth, and now they’re getting ready to shoot their fame into orbit – by heading into space. Yep, for real.

“Kris is fascinated by outer space, and is looking into paying for her and the family to be among the first passengers on Virgin’s commercial space shuttle,” says an insider close to the momager, adding, “Kris just signed a $150m deal that will keep their reality show on the air until the end of 2019. The pressure is on to keep things exciting, and what better way than by filming an episode in space? They’d be the first family to orbit the planet, and Kris is convinced she’s hit on the ultimate storyline.”

The idea might seem out of this world, but insiders say Kris, 61, is deadly serious about making it happen. “There’s actually big competition in Hollywood to be the first celebrity in space,” says the source. “A-listers such as Leo Dicaprio and Angelina Jolie have apparently already pre-purchased their tickets with Virgin Galactic. Kris knows [Virgin owner] Richard Branson personally, and she’s been pressuring him to agree to make a special trip just for her family.”

The insider continues, “It’s definitely an ambitious ask, but it’s not like Kris isn’t willing to pay for it. At this point, the only issue is Richard and the space programme. He’s already three years behind launching the first civilian trip and there are still problems to address. He says it will happen by the end of next year – and the Kardashians could be first on the passenger list.”

True stars in the sky, at last.
