Kourtney Kardashian

This is a proud time for Kourtney Kardashian.

The new mother has chosen the publication that will pay her lots of money for is showing the world her newborn son.

Inside the latest issue of Life & Style, the eldest Kardashian sister describes what it's like to be a mother:

"I feel so lucky. He's such a good baby."

Hmmm... would she feel less lucky if he cried a lot?

As for that controversial middle name, Kourtney says:

"Dash is not for my clothing store, as some people have suggested online. That would be stupid. Dash is short for Kardashian, and it was my father's nickname."

Recent reports suggested that Kourt flipped out at Reggie Bush because he considered proposing to Kim Kardashian around Christmas. Such family news would have overshadowed this cover story.

Meanwhile Scott Disick is not included on the cover shot, he does pose inside the magazine with his son and occasional girlfriend. He even looks sort of happy to be there:

Keep those eyes closed, Mason. We wouldn't wanna look if our parents were Kourtney Kardashian and Scott Disick, either.

If you thought Christmas at the Sheens was exciting, take a look at what went down with the Kardashians on December 24:

As first reported by TMZ, Bruce Jenner dialed 911 on Christmas Eve because his neighbor allegedly went nuts at the valet standing outside the family's residence.

Witnesses reportedly told the cops the man appeared drunk and argued over the presence of the valet - even falling over at one point and spilling blood on the street.

Sources close to the family say Pastor Brad - the man that should have his license revoked for marrying Khloe Kardashian and Lamar Odom - tried to help the wasted neighbor. For his good deed, he was punched in the face!

Fortunately, Jenner broke up the potential melee and no arrests were made.

The lessons, as always:

• Don't hire valets and rub in your neighbors' face how much money you possess;
• Make sure a former Olympic decathlon champion is on the premises to settle all disputes.

When Reggie Bush lines up across from linebacker Brian Urlacher on Sundays, he has no fear.

But place the NFL star next to a hormone-laden Kourtney Kardashian, days after she gave birth, and the running back cowers in trepidation.

Such was the case last week, according to sources that claim Bush was set to finally propose to Kim Kardashian - until an irate Kourtney stepped in and threw a fit over the possibility that this engagement news would overshadow her status as a new mother.

"Kourtney screamed at Reggie, 'You can't do this to me!'" a family friend told The National Enquirer. "Kourtney is extremely hormonal right now, and her emotions got the best of her. Reggie was stunned and caught completely off-guard."

The anonymous, clearly legitimate source added that Bush was so frightened by this display that he's shelved plans for a proposal until early 2010.

Flipping for Publicity, Touchdowns: Kourtney Kardashian and Reggie Bush.

There have been rumors for months that Kim is jealous of Kourtney's motherhood.

This friend says the hostility runs both ways.

"There's always been underlying tension because Kourtney feels like she's been playing second fiddle to Kim for so long. She was hoping the last days of her pregnancy and the first few weeks with her newborn would be all about her."

Kourtney hoping for things to be all about her? That's the only part of this story we actually believe.

As 2010 draws closer, The Hollywood Gossip staff looks back on the year that was, naming finalists for our prestigious, 3rd Annual Celebrity of the Year award.

These stars have given us their best, their worst, their off-the-wall antics and, in the case of today's selektion, their kontrived, kombative, k-based reality show.

It's time for THG to pay tribute to this greatness.

Last week, the countdown honored a pair of unique, talented singers in Adam Lambert and Lady Gaga. Now, it's on to Celebrity of the Year Finalist #4:  The Kardashian Klan!

Last year, Kim Karashian earned the top ranking in this poll. What changed since then? Not much on Kim's (plump) end. The socialite continues to make headlines for no reason whatsoever, simply changing her hair color multiple times and earning featured articles in magazines as a result.

Seriously, she better give her publicist a huge Christmas bonus.

But sisters Khloe and Kourtney have seriously upped their PR-generating games. The former married a rich dude she knew for a month; while the latter took it a step farther and knocked herself up just to give websites a reason to write about her.

Nauseating and appalling? Definitey. Creative and dedicated? Very much so.

Four seasons into their scripted show, the Kardashians set a ratings record for their series premiere this month. Over four million people somehow care enough about this family to spend an hour of their lives watching its well-rehearsed exploits.

While Paris faded away years ago, and society grew tired of Speidi in 2009, Kim, Khloe and Kourtney persevered. None starred in a single movie, released a single album or even got railed in a single sex tape... yet here they are, atop the celebrity gossip world.

It says a lot about the family - and, sadly, about the state of the world.

Due to the presence of Scott Disick as his dad, the THG staff has determined that Mason Dash might be in for a tough childhood.

However, a report in Star magazine has great, life-altering news for the newborn: Disick might not be his father after all!

Anonymous, likely made-up sources say Michael Girgenti - a 23-year-old model and rapper that goes by the stage name of Premo Stallone - banged the heck out of Kourtney Kardashian around the time she got impregnanted.

"Kourtney hooked up with Michael twice while she and Scott were on the outs. He's definitely been mentioned as a possibility for being the father of her baby," the insider claims.

While a Kardashian rep insists Scott is Mason's biological father, Michael himself was asked if could have fathered the child. His intriguing response?

"You could say that, yeah."

We are saying that, Premo. After all, everyone knows how much Kourtney hates taking her birth control pills, yet loves to have her name in the news.

The Hollywood Gossip staff is excited to bring back our Tale of the Tape, the Internet sensation in which we break down various matchups within the celebrity gossip world.

This week, our editors had no choice but to pit a pair of newborns against one another. We hope Mason Dash Disick and Hank Baskett IV live long, happy, fruitful lives; but it's not clear if this is possible.

That's what happens when your respective parents - Kendra Wilkinson and Kourtney Kardashian - seem to care more about publicity than child-rearing.

We've already asked readers which of these kids is worse off, but we're here now to examine each child's prospects in closer detail. Who will prevail in this grueling battle? Let's find out. Ding, ding!

Mason: A jobless jackass.

2. MOTHER IS...

America has many problems: double-digit unemployment; a bickering Congress that can't get anything done; professionals athletes that tag anything with breasts.

But this may be the most glaring issue facing our great country: a fascination with people that have accomplished absolutely nothing and offer positively zero to society.

For example, the fourth season premiere of Keeping Up With the Kardashians somehow racked up 4.1 million viewers on Sunday night. 4.1 million! More women watched the episode than any in the network's history.

What could possibly prompt an individual to care about the scripted fortunes of Kourtney, Kim and Khloe Kardashian? We're actually asking. If you tuned in, please tell us why!

Fame could tear these sisters apart... or make them millions of dollars for using large boobs, a pregnancy and a fake marriage to draw viewers in to their TV show.

Pray with us, THG readers.

Kourtney Kardashian gave birth to a boy this morning, prompting a nationwide need to stop, bow our heads and ask the Man Upstairs to look after this addition to the Kardashian clan. He'll need all the help he can get.

Indeed, Kourtney and shady boyfriend Scott Disick are now the proud new parents of Mason Dash Disick - seriously, his middle name is the same as the family boutique - who arrived in Los Angeles weighin seven pounds and six ounces.

Confirmed Kourt's publicist, at approximately 12:30 p.m. EST:

"Kourtney just delivered a healthy baby boy about an hour ago."

Earlier this week, sisters Khloe and Kim Kardashian said Kourtney thought her water broke because she felt some cold liquid on her leg.

Despite that faux pas, Kim believes her sibling will be a great mother.

"Kourtney didn't even like kids," Kim said recently. "I never thought she'd ever want to have a baby. [But now] I think Kourt's going to be the most amazing mom."

She'll certainly be the most amazing at pimping her child out on the cover of magazines. Look out, Larry Birkhead! You've got competition.

Thank goodness Keeping Up with the Kardashians is returning with new episodes on Sunday, December 13.

After all, it's been far too long since Kim, Kourtney and Khloe Kardashian have been in the news. We've gone minutes without writing about their latest attention-seeking actions.

The sisters - along with other family members that contribute nothing to society - premiere the fourth season of their reality show in less than two weeks. As the poster below teases: What a difference a year makes.

A few months ago, Kourtney wasn't pregnant and Khloe wasn't married. What would the new season have even focused on if the writers hadn't asked these siblings to make drastic life changes?

Tune in to E! on December 13 for new drama, new intrigue and to finally realize: you really need to get a life if you care at all how these people live theirs.

While welcoming a child into the world is typically a joyous occasion, we doubt Kourtney Kardashian is kounting down the days until she's a mother.

After all, it will mean a lot less time milking the pregnancy for every ounce of attention and drop of money possible.

But at least Kourtney is squeezing in as much publicity as she can in her final few weeks, gracing the cover of two supermarket tabloids this week.

Kendra and Kourtney are ready to pose with their baby bumps on magazine covers. But are they prepared to be parents?

In an interview with Life & Style, Kourt dishes on Scott Disick, the baby daddy that she pretended to break up with in order to create reality TV drama she's had problems with over the years.

"It was hard," she said. "There was so much negative energy. But this is the father of my baby - I needed everyone to just get over it."

The tension "was really intense for a few months," Kourtney added, but then the script called for a reconciliation and she said:

"I feel like if that stuff hadn't happened, things wouldn't feel as good as they do today."

Well, sure. With Kardashian on the cover of numerous tabloids and featured in more entertainment news stories that sister Kim, can you blame her for feeling so good?
