>> Kim Kardashian's mum Kris Jenner tried to trick everyone into watching the first episode of her self-named TV show with this Facebook update showing her holding a baby and announcing: "Will you be watching today's first episode? We have a special guest …" You'd be forgiven for thinking she was referring to her granddaughter, North West, but no it was her make-up artist's baby. Tricky.
