Kris Jenner (inset) has expressed her desire for Kim to keep her maiden name.There seems to be a case of ‘Do as I say, not as I do’ in the Kardashian household. Family matriarch Kris Jenner has spoken of her disapproval of daughter Kim taking on her fiancé Kris Humphries’ surname when they marry. Mrs Jenner says she does not want Kim to give up the name that has become a globally recognised brand – despite the fact that she also dropped Kardashian when she remarried. ‘I don’t think she should take his name and be Kim Humphries,’ Kris, 55, told PopEater.com. ‘I think she needs to be Kim Kardashian because she’s worked so hard to get where she is.’ But Kim, 30, plans to go against her mother’s wishes, according to TMZ, which reports that the reality star will ‘for sure’ take the basketballer’s surname after she walks down the aisle this summer. While Kim is the most famous and wealthiest of the group, the Kardashians have styled themselves as a family brand – appearing together in their multiple reality series and often in various endorsement deals – although Kim takes on many solo projects as well. Kim’s younger sister Khloe now goes by Khloe Kardashian Odom since marrying husband Lamar in September 2009. Mrs Jenner has also warned her future son-in-law that he is in for a big lifestyle change. Fans can bet on the nuptials being broadcast on the E! channel – home to the family’s many reality series. Kim’s younger sister Khloe, whose own wedding was watched by millions on a network special, said: ‘I would assume it would be [taped]. comes with the territory. We sell our souls to E!’ According to the New York Post, the network are currently working out the best way to programme the wedding, by either weaving it into the upcoming sixth season of Keeping Up With The Kardashians, which premieres next month, or making it a special like Khloe’s marriage to Lamar Odom, or even another spin-off series.
