Kris Jenner's talk show has NOT been canceled, FOX rep says

Rumors of Kris Jenner's talk show's demise have been greatly exaggerated.

On Wednesday, Radar Online reported that the mother-of-six's show had been axed from the network thanks to "abysmal" ratings.

"It is a very crowded market and Kris didn't do anything to set herself apart from the field," a source told the gossip site. "Believe it or not, most of America doesn't want to hear about the Kardashians for an hour every day."

But Fox reps slammed the report, confirming that Jenner had not been booted from the network.

"Rumors are false," a spokesperson told the Daily News.

Jenner, the 57-year-old matriarch of the Kardashian family, has drawn attention to her show through hosting members of her extended reality star family.

Last week, she unveiled the first publicly seen photo of new granddaughter North West, in what was widely seen as an attempt to boost ratings. But the "momager" seems to be holding strong, as speculation swirled over whether her show would be picked up past the six-week trial period.

"Rumors flying are false but glad everyone is still buzzing about our 6 week summer run!!!!" Jenner wrote on Twitter

Guess who's missing from the new Kardashian promo picture?

Kanye West duuuuuuuuhhh! Lol. 

Could this mean that West is not going to appear in the upcoming season? It's hard to tell, but he's clearly not going to be a main cast member. West did appear on camera during Season 7 though, which aired last fall.

Sources close to the production tell omg! that West was extremely resistant to appear on the show in any capacity last season. In fact, if he had his preference, he wouldn't appear at all … ever. But he relented under a two-front assault by Kim and Kris, agreeing to appear just a few times. The one stipulation was that E! wasn't allowed to promote him as a regular cast member.

For this upcoming season, West has been even more hesitant our sources add, since Kim's pregnancy would be one of the key plot points. As of a month ago, he wasn't slated to be on camera at all this season. It's one of the reasons he's been spending so much time in Paris.
