Jenner says ‘rubbish’ to paternity claims

Another day, another drama for Kris Jenner, who stormed away from a writer at the end of Wednesday's news conference at Planet Hollywood Resort for the Miss America judges.

"Rubbish! Rubbish! It's so stupid!" said the matriarch of the "Keeping Up With the Kardashians" clan.

She was reacting to a question from Us Weekly's Mike Doria, who asked Jenner to comment on claims by two ex-wives of the late Robert Kardashian that Khloe Kardashian, 27, was not his daughter .

Radaronline.com reported the allegations on Wednesday.

Only a handful of reporters at the front of the room heard Jenner's response.

Khloe Kardashian, who is married to NBA veteran Lamar Odom, hit back on Twitter.

"The audacity you have to mention my father's name like this! Should be ashamed of urself! I let a lot of things slide but this one is really low YOU ARE DISGUSTING! (yes you know who YOU are)."

Making the claims were Jan Ashley and Ellen Pierson. Ashley was married to Kardashian after he and Jenner were divorced in 1990.

Ashley told RadarOnline.com that her husband told her: "Khloe is not his kid -- he told me that after we got married."

Robert Kardashian, who was among the attorneys who defended O.J. Simpson, died at age 59 in 2003.

Pierson married him in 2003 just two months before his death.

"Robert did question the fact that Khloe was his," Pierson was quoted. "Any normal man would if they knew their wife had cheated on him."

In her recent memoir, Jenner, who married Olympic star Bruce Jenner in 1991, admitted to having an affair full of "wild sex" while she was married to Kardashian. He filed for divorce.

THE SCENE AND HEARD

ESPN's Colin Cowherd told KWWN sports talkers Paulie Howard and Seat Williams on Tuesday that he took some heat as sports anchor at KVBC-TV, Channel 3. "I had death threats when I worked in Vegas because I took on Tark (Jerry Tarkanian) a couple times."

Gameworks, a fixture on the Strip for about 15 years, is moving to a new location after its lease expires March 31. Over the years, it was a magnet for gamers, including Floyd Mayweather Jr., Ray Romano, Wayne Brady and Jason Alexander, who checked out the 250 games. A couple years ago, Sean "Diddy" Combs held his son's birthday party at the Showcase mall location.
