The Kardashians are ready for Season 8 (E! Networks)
The Kardashian press machine kicks back into high gear this coming
weekend when "Keeping Up with the Kardashians" premieres its eighth
season on Sunday.In new promo shots released over the weekend, the show's 10 featured family members pose happily wearing spring colors and smiling faces. But there's one person who's prominently absent from photos – Kim Kardashian's boyfriend and father of her unborn baby, Kanye West.
So, 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.
The Kardashian clan, ready for action! (E! Networks)Up until a few weeks ago, he was adamant about not having the baby appear on the series, but now that appears to be up for debate. There are reports out though that he agreed to be on camera for this weekend's baby shower taping. Omg! has reached out to reps for both E! and West to ask about his participation in the show this season.
