I think Lori knows her girls will be successful no matter what, but having a college degree is a status marker in many social circles. I think in the Kardashian circle it's not a thing. Although, I would not be surprised if Kim, Kourtney, Khloe and Kylie's kids all go to college.


Why would it not be a thing in the Kardashian circle? They’re only famous because their dad was a famous lawyer. Who went to... wait for it... USC.



Kourtney graduated from University of Arizona (but went to SMU for a couple years). Rob graduated from USC. I think if the family hadn't blown up and Kris hadn't seen opportunities for them in reality tv, etc., they would have been pushed into college by Kris. She's not stupid.





um...if it were important the younger girls would be in college just like Olivia Jade and still making money somehow. It's not a status marker for Kris.

Saying it's not a thing b/c only Kourtney and Rob went..they had six kids. Even Bruce's kids weren't into it..heck Brody was hanging out on reality tv! It's obviously not that deep...if it was Kendall and Kylie wouldn't have dropped out of their elite private school to sell books and model. Now I do think it will be a thing for Kris Jenner's grandkids. No doubt.

Sorry, I meant the younger ones would have been pushed into college.

This is interesting...I know I recently saw that Kimora Lee Simmons daughter applied to Harvard. She made a pretty big deal about her application process.

I was wondering the same


Katie Couric went to UVA; she’s very bright and her kids had access to a great education and opportunities.

Yes, that must be it. They thought paying money to a fake charity, setting up a fake photo shoot of their daughter on a rowing machine, lying about her athletic ability, and getting her diagnosed with a learning disability was what everyone did when applying to college.


Hey! They did not go to college and do not have college-smarts. Whatever propelled them to their success (casting couch? looks? bribery? some talent? taking out competition) may have factored into how they went about getting kids into college. They live in a world where perception matters, not substance. They did exactly what this Singer guy told them to do.

No they haven't been arrested, just charged.


I read an article that said that Huffman was arrested and Laughlin agreed to surrender.


Oh what? WHERE


TMZ

lol - She's one hell of a DESPERATE housewife now . . .

https://www.tmz.com/2019/03/12/felicity-huffman-arrest-guns-drawn-fbi-college-bribery/

Felicity Huffman knew she was a target of the federal investigation into bribery in the college admissions process ... but she had no idea 7 feds would show up at her door Tuesday morning with guns drawn.

Sources familiar with the arrest tell TMZ, 7 FBI agents showed up at Felicity's Hollywood Hills home at 6 AM and drew their weapons as they ordered Felicity to come out and surrender.


Pulling guns on a female celebrity with no known criminal record or history of violence is crazy!


Not crazy, she's a criminal
