And now for today's news from the world of the Kardashians ... Kim's older sister Kourtney has announced that she is pregnant. She told 'Us Weekly' that she took a pregnancy test about five weeks ago and is now nine weeks pregnant. "You're supposed to wait 12 weeks to tell people," said Kourtney, "but I feel confident."

This will be Kourtney's second baby with her partner Scott Disick, and the pregnancy will no doubt be an integral part of the 2012 instalments of the Kardashian reality TV empire.

The couple's first child, Mason is almost two, and Scott told 'Us Weekly' that while this pregnancy wasn't planned, "It wasn't like we weren't trying. We kind of just said, 'If it's meant to be, it'll be.'"

So, is there another lavish wedding on the cards for the first family of reality TV? Unlike little sis Kim, who recently announced her split from husband Kris Humphries, Kourtney has so far resisted the urge to walk down the aisle with her partner of five years. Last month her mom Kris Jenner had an awkward on-air marriage chat with Scott while she was filling in for Kathie Lee Gifford on 'Today.'

When Hoda Kotb wondered why Kourtney and her baby-daddy aren't married, Kris asked Scott point-blank "Why aren't you married?" To which he replied, "You'd have to ask Kourtney that," before adding "I just don't need to have a 50 day wedding or whatever everybody else is doing."

Maybe Scott and Kourtney should take some advice from James Bond. Talking to 'GQ' about his recent marriage to Oscar-winner Rachel Weisz, Daniel Craig said "We did it privately for private reasons," comparing it to Kim and Kris' lavish "fairytale" wedding.

"They're worth millions," he continued. "Millions. I don't think they were badly off to begin with but look at them now. You see that and you think, 'What...you mean all they have to do is act like a f****ing idiot on television and you'll pay me millions?' I'm not judging it. Well, I am obviously, but after that you can't buy your privacy back."

Are you excited for Kourtney and Scott? Do you think the new baby could be the antidote to all the recent anti-Kardashian feeling?
