The National Enquirer has an interesting story about Kourtney Kardashian throwing a huge temper tantrum. Unfortunately, it’s not a story about the mystery surrounding paternity of Kourtney’s newborn son, although I’m surprised the Enquirer isn’t all over that. No, this story is some bullsh-t about Kourtney having a hissy fit over sister Kim’s planned engagement announcement over the holidays. Because, according to this story, Reggie Bush is ready to pop the question, and they were going to get formally enaged over the holidays. Kourtney’s tantrum was about Kim and Reggie pulling focus from what is important - her and her alone. Oh, and the baby.

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

Although the rest of the Kardashian-Jenner clan was happy about the proposal, Reggie was so unnerved by Kourtney that he decided to hold off, says the friend.

“Reggie doesn’t want to battle Kourtney, so he backed off to keep the peace. Now he’s planning on asking for Kim’s hand in early 2010, after Kourtney’s baby hubbbub has died down.”

I totally believed this happened, and I find I have mixed opinions about it. On one side, I do think Kourtney is probably always a narcissistic tantrumy bitch, regardless of her current hormonal state, so I think she should get a major grip. On the other side, I kind of understand. These girls are always trying to steal each other’s thunder, and I could see why Kourtney would be upset that Kim and Reggie can’t wait a few weeks to announce their engagement, just because people should be excited about the baby right now. The Enquirer’s source admits as much, saying: “There’s always been underlying tension because Kourtney feels like she’s been playing second fiddle to Kim for so long.” Yeah. Sh-t happens.

The one sketchy part of the story (for me) is that I think if Reggie and Kim do engaged, it’s probably a bad idea. I don’t think Reggie is faithful to her, but I do think he loves her. I kind of think Kim is in for a world of hurt with that one.
