Kris Jenner is getting heat for recent comments she made about putting daughter Kim Kardashian on birth control before she was 15. On Bethenny Frankel's new talk show, Kris defended her actions. "You want to protect your kids," she said. Jenner added: "You can try and talk your kids out of it, but unless you lock your child in the closet and throw the key away, they’re going to do what they feel." The interview airs Monday on Bethenny.

TMZ reports that Lifetime producers have been hysterical the past few weeks because of all the headlines surrounding the star of their Elizabeth Taylor biopic, Lindsay Lohan. In the past few weeks, paramedics have been called to Lohan's hotel room, she was in a very serious car accident on the Pacific Coast Highway, and she's hitting the nightclubs — all reasons why producers should be worried. TMZ said the producers big concerns are that they might lose the production's insurance, that Lohan could have violated her probation by lying to cops about her car accident, and that she's opening herself up to more problems by going to clubs. But TMZ argues that it's because of Lohan that the channel is getting so much press and predicts Liz & Dick to be the channel's most-watched program ever.

Before naming Steve Jobs "The Most Fascinating Person of 2011," Barbara Walters grilled Kris Jenner and the rest of the Kardashian clan, asking, "You don't sing, you don't dance, you don't act. Forgive me, but you don't have any talent." Kim Kardashian responded with, "It's more of a challenge for you to go on a reality show and get people to fall in love with you for being you. So there's definitely a lot more pressure to be famous being famous for being ourselves." Make sense?
