But one new dimension remains to be found. Is there a secret family member who has never been pictured in these family Christmas Card? The cards have pictured friends – like Ryan Seacrest – and even extended family members. But amid reports that Khloe Kardashian’s biological father is still living, he has never been seen in any of these cards, at least until now.

But could that change this year? In the last year, the Kardashian family has been the brunt of criticism that their portrayals in reality TV programming are faked. Kim Kardashian has been accused of faking a marriage to Kris Humphries for TV ratings.

Moreover, Steven Levitt, who calculates celebrity Q Scores, and Mike Paul of MGP & Associates PR, a New York-based crisis management firm, both claim that the Kardashian’s name recognition has substantially increased in the last year. But both claim that the Kardashian popularity has fallen.

That potentially could change with a Khloe Kardashian “dad episode”. Viewers know that reality programming is expected to shock them and move their emotions. Nothing achieves that better than a paternity revelation on national television.

The question, however, is how the person’s identity could ever remain a secret until the program aired. In recent months, Kardashian fans have heard unbelievable and often absurdly ridiculous father claims – from a pool man to OJ Simpson. But that changed recently with revelation about Alex Roldan.

Alex Roldan is Kris Jenner’s hairdresser of more than thirty years. He has a shocking resemblance, both years ago, and today, to Khloe. The two share similar heights, chins, and facial features.

Ironically, since Roldan’s revelation came out roughly one week ago, the Kardashian media machine has still yet to comment about the news report. And yet, the national fascination with Khloe’s father continues to grow.

A sentimental, tearful revelation would not only become a massive record setting ratings moment for the Kardashian and E! family, but it would also cast the family in a far better light than their recent exploits. And don’t expect the father topic to fill only  one episode, as done in a previous season of their shows. It could become a storyline arch for an entire season of the programming. At the same time, it would move the family’s perception away from one million dollar diamond encrusted birthday cakes, to simple, core family issues that all viewers could relate to.

Cher is certainly not dead. But this week, Kim Kardashian tweeted to her millions of followers that the beloved singer may have died. The false news came as revelations that Kim watches news alerts about herself on her cellphone all day long.

While much of the internet has in three years gotten familiar to fake death reports, from Jackie Chan to Adam Sandler, apparently Kim Kardashian hasn’t followed other celebrities as much as herself. So when a false trend started about Cher being dead, Kardashian tweeted the same to her followers.

The timing couldn’t be worse for Kardashian. A new group of experts claim that Kim Kardashian’s popularity is falling dramatically. The revelations stems from the Old Navy lawsuit.

The Kardashian family sued Old Navy claiming that Kim’s reputation was damaged when Old Navy hired Melissa Molinaro for its advertisement. Now, FOX News is reporting that Old Navy’s defense attorney, Louis Petrich, will defend the case by arguing that “Kim Kardashian is “libel-proof”: a person whose reputation is already so damaged, nothing can hurt them.”

Steven Levitt calculates celebrity Q Scores. He uses a metric to determine consumer response to celebrities for determining advertisement campaigns. Levitt claims that Kim’s reputation is so low that an Old Navy advertisement can’t impact her reputation further.

Levitt claims that Kim is recognized by sixty-two percent of population, compared to thirty-three percent with most celebrities. But he says that the average celebrity’s negative rating is twenty-five; he claims Kim’s negative rating is a massive fifty-three. He claims “Kim’s ratings are so negative she doesn’t have anything to protect.”

Another person claims that Kim’s popularity began falling before the Old Navy commercial. Mike Paul of MGP & Associates PR, a New York-based crisis management firm claims “The Kardashians’ value has gone down by about a third and that damage was not done by an Old Navy ad”.

Kim Kardashian is not jumping teams to the Denver Broncos. Kim Kardashian has recently battled Reggie Bush dating reports. But the latest claim from the National Enquirer claims she Kim wants to date Tim Tebow to improve her image.

“Kim needs to rehab her image to get her career revved up again,” claims the Enquirer. “Dating someone like Tim Tebow would certainly do the trick.”

Is Tim interested? Of course he is not. But the Enquirer reports “Tim’s been made aware of Kim’s crush, and although flattered, he’s not interested.”

As previously reported by LALATE, the Enquirer’s owner, American Media, reportedly was in talks with Kris Jenner to publish an entirely new all-Kardashian magazine. After Jenner allegedly demanded final editorial approval, the deal fell through.

In related news, Kim has yet to comment about allegations that Khloe Kardashian’s biological father is Kris Jenner’s hairdresser of thirty years, Alex Roldan. Roldan is a hairdresser from West Hollywood. He has been cutting Jenner’s hair before Khloe was born and ever since. He shares similarities to Khloe on height, nose, jaw, eyes, lips, cheeks, forehead, and more.

Khloe is set to debut in her first Texas radio show. Her station manager calls her a natural fit for listeners because of her “sincerity”. Jay Michaels in a news statement said Khloe is a “the perfect mix of personality and sincerity”.

In a news statement, Chief executive Lou D’Ambrosio said “Given our performance and the difficult economic environment, especially for big-ticket items, we intend to implement a series of actions to reduce on-going expenses, adjust our asset base, and accelerate the transformation of our business model.”

As anticipated by news in recent days, this year’s card was delivered also in 3D. “Each year we all get together for a special photo shoot for our annual Christmas card and this year, our family photographer, Nick Saglimbeni, shot both a 2D version and a 3D version (see the 3D version in the gallery” Kourtney tells fans. Saglimbeni has previously worked with Kim on 3D imagery for E! Networks.

Kourtney added “There’s nothing I love more than getting everyone together for the Christmas card shoot! I love everyone’s matching bow ties”. Kourtney adds “Do you guys like this year’s card? If you have 3D glasses you have to check out the 3D version. It’s crazy!”

Two years ago this month, Kim Kardashian had teamed up with Carl’s Jr for a new line of tv spots. “This has been a terrific partnership,” said Kim Kardashian at the time. “The commercial was fun to shoot, the salad is delicious and I’m thrilled so many fans are enjoying both. I hope they all join me for the Ultimate Salad Lunch Date on Wednesday, too.”

“Kim Kardashian has been an absolute joy to work with and her genuine charm, charisma, beauty and brains have endeared her to a huge base of fans,” said Brad Haley, executive vice president of marketing for Carl’s Jr. said in December 2009. “Because of Kim’s immense popularity, her commercial is not only a hit on television, it’s a hit in the digital space as well. “
