The Kardashians\u2019 lives are full of excitement and chaos that keep fans on their toes. The Kardashians\u2019 became a hit with their own reality TV show starring their family and their crazy, busy Hollywood lives. Recently Kim and Kourtney have been taking the spotlight with a new game and a new baby. But the real question is, is Jamesville-DeWitt High School keeping up with the Kardashians?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kourtney Kardashian, 35-year-old model, celebrity, businesswoman, reality TV show star, is a mother of two, and soon to be three. Unleashing a surprise on her fans, Kourtney announced she is expecting a baby boy around this Thanksgiving.

This is Kourtney\u2019s third baby with boyfriend Scott Disick. On \u201cKeeping Up With the Kardashians,\u201d Scott seems to be overwhelmed by the third baby, saying, \u201cI can\u2019t handle this responsibility. I just can’t take care of more kids.\u201d
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The opinion on Kourtney and Disick\u2019s marital choices varies at J-DHS. Some viewers are surprised and question why they haven\u2019t gotten married yet. However, sophomore Caroline Darcy says, \u201cIn this day and age, [having children out of wedlock] doesn’t really matter.\u201d Darcy isn\u2019t the only one that feels this way; freshman Carlena Torrens agrees.

Freshman Rachel Setek prefers not to take sides when it comes to Kourtney and Disick\u2019s marital choices. She understands their choices by saying, \u201cboth of Scott\u2019s parents just died, and so I guess he\u2019s pretty lonely so he probably wants a big family,\u201d says Setek. But she also admits that there is a risk for Kourtney because she has kids, and he could leave her at any moment.

Despite supporting Kourtney with her pregnancy, and adjusting to her new life with Kanye West and baby North West, Kim, Kourtney\u2019s younger sister, has found time to create her own game. As of June 25, the \u201cKim Kardashian Game\u201d is available through the App Store or Play Store. It immediately gained popularity because of her fans and people who were curious about the app.

In the game, you create a male or female avatar who meets Kim Kardashian and becomes famous through going to events and getting jobs that Kim, as a model, celebrity, businesswoman, and reality TV show star, would get. This earns you points that raise you up to the A-list. The A-list is the highest level you can achieve in the game.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI love that game,\u201d freshman Arhamah Beg says, \u201cit\u2019s fun, and it\u2019s really exciting.\u201d Senior Tal Frieden agrees, by saying, \u201cI think it\u2019s genius, Kim\u2019s just doing her thing.\u201d
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the other hand, freshman Lindsey Young says, \u201cI think it\u2019s kind of stupid, but it\u2019s addicting.\u201d Freshman Lainey Foti has a similar point of view on the game; \u201cI think it\u2019s quite stupid. I don\u2019t know why they’re famous in the first place.\u201d
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI used to [like the game], but it got old,\u201d says Darcy. Torrens has a similar opinion: \u201dit was fun at first, then it got boring.\u201d
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Questions have come up about whether or not Kim will create a new game based off the current one. J-DHS students agree that she most likely won\u2019t make a new game, but possibly create more updates. Kim Kardashian game players have also noticed that the game\u2019s popularity has faded and died down. \u201cI think the popularity died down about a week ago,\u201d Foti says, \u201cI think it was pretty popular for a good solid two weeks.\u201d
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The game may no longer be as big of a hit, but viewers can look forward to the birth of Kourtney\u2019s child in the next month and keep up with any new life changes with the Kardashians by watching them on E! channel.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
