Despite her constant media exposure (some might say OVERexposure), Caitlyn Jenner isn't quite the hit that she thought she was.
On Tuesday, the ratings for the premiere of her reality show I Am Cait just came out and it turns out the much hyped reality show only received 2.7 million viewers, a far cry from the 17 million people who watched the Olympic champ's Diane Sawyer interview in April.
While her acceptance speech at the ESPY Awards was a rousing success garnering 7.7 million viewers, it appears as though though that fan fare doesn't translate to viewer gold. Out of the 2.7 million viewers, 1.5 of them came from the key 18-49 demographic. The docuseries did tie for first across cable -- but it tied with an 11 p.m. episode of Family Guy, which is really nothing to write home about. while I Am Cait is certainly not a failure -- it's not a success by any means.
The E! reality show chronicles Caitlyn's life as a trans woman and spokesperson, and follows the Olympian as she jumps over her new hurdles living as a personality in the public eye.

The Lord has this lady wrapped around his finger!
Kourtney Kardashian dumped partner Scott Disick over Fourth of July weekend when photos surfaced of him getting way too close with ex-girlfriend Chloe Bartoli on vacation in Monaco, but the mother-of-three is second guessing her decision to kick the father of her children to the curb!
"She wants Scott back," a source dished to Us Weekly. So how does the E! starlet plan on ensuring that they mend their union? Apparently, she's hoping demanding full custody of kids Mason, Penelope, and Reign will frighten LD enough for him to seek treatment for his substance and alcohol addiction. "She hopes this will scare him enough to get help. If he gets to the point where he is really changing she'll let him come home," the source added.
One of her main concerns? That the hard partying dad might not care enough to repair their relationship! "Kourtney's shocked Scott isn't begging her to take him back," an insider revealed.

Halle Berry can't fool us -- that's definitely NOT her wedding ring!
Looking quite bedraggled, the Oscar winner stepped out with daughter Nahla to pick up a cake in Beverly Hills yesterday afternoon, and what caught our attention was the fact that we haven't seen the actress and husband Olivier Martinez together in months! The A-list star was noticeably missing something important -- her striking emerald engagement ring! Yes she's wearing a set of rings but she's definitely NOT wearing the usual ring she wears on that finger!
The Frankie & Alice star and her French hubby used to barely leave each other's sides, but it seems the brunette beauty has been spending more time with her kiddos and less time with her man! In Hollywood, that usually leads to one thing - divorce! Insiders tell X17 it won't be long before the couple pulls the plug on their union.
A source tells us:
Halle and Olivier's marriage is all but over. They haven't spent time together in months, but Halle isn't ready to go public with the split. That's why she's wearing those gold rings - to distract from the fact she's not wearing her emerald wedding band.
It's understandable that the mother-of-two is trying to keep her relationship troubles under wraps. After all, if she and the Ollie split, this will be her third failed attempt at a happily ever after!
Another insider dishes to X17:
"Halle is very private; she doesn't need the world to know her third marriage didn't work out. She just wants the kids to be okay and move on."
Has another celeb duo bit the dust? We think so ...

This is every wife's worst nightmare!
Ben Affleck has reportedly been dating the nanny he and estranged wife Jennifer Garner hired to look after their children this spring, Us Weekly reports. The 28-year-old woman named Christine Ouzounian was fired once the A-list actress discovered the romance, but the Batman star continues to see her behind closed doors. How cliche can he possibly get?!
"They would hang out without the kids. And they were very flirty," a source close to Ouzounian dished to the mag. Umm, if this poor little maid has a prayer of this working out, the last thing she wants to do is have all her friends blabbing to the media!
The pair allegedly spent time together at the Boston hunk's L.A. rental on July 17, and have been in constant contact over text, email, and phone. The bubbly blonde is so stoked about her new relationship, she is already telling friends she thinks it might be serious! "She says Ben really, really likes her. She’s saying this is true love," another insider added. We expected him to date a supermodel next, not a woman on his payroll!
Below is a pic from her LinkedIn account!
UPDATE: Affleck's reps are shooting down the story. "All allegations of a romantic relationship are baseless and untrue," the rep told Us.

One could make the joke that Robin Thicke took both of his kids to the beach on Tuesday. After all, son Julian is 5 and Robin's girlfriend April Love Geary is just 20 years old!
The 38-year-old singer and his lady love hit the beach in Malibu yesterday, and while she was busy soaking up the sun and chatting with strangers, Robin and Julian hit the waves -- or got hit by the waves, rather. Poor Julian got knocked over in the water, and after the incident Robin chatted briefly with a lifeguard to make sure Julian was OK.
After a dip in the Pacific Ocean, the trio headed to lunch, and April showed off her flawless figure in a simple white dress. She's been with Robin long enough that we can't call her a rebound, and while she's no Paula Patton, she's definitely a babe!

Kylie and Kendall Jenner grabbed frozen yogurt after a photo shoot on Tuesday, and both of the teen reality stars turned heads when they walked down the street. We're thinking most folks were admiring Kendall's model bod and gawking at Kylie's overly plumped pout, but Kylie definitely gave us her best Kim K style pose from the counter. She may be 17, but she already knows how to work that booty!
Big sis Khloe covers the new issue of Complex mag, and in her interview she stated that Kylie's relationship with 25-year-old rapper Tyga was a "special case" because the underage starlet has had a different upbringing. So...should we really be surprised that Kylie's getting lip injections and wearing outfits like this to get fro yo? Nope! And she turns 18 next month, so it seems like this is only going to get worse. Or better? Stay tuned...

Someone had a blast celebrating their birthday across the pond last week! Either that or Selena Gomez is headed straight to Justin Bieber's house for a booty call...
On Tuesday evening Selena landed at Los Angeles International Airport after spending the last week in London, and she was all smiles as she walked through the terminal and headed to her chauffeured SUV. We love to see her like this, but we do have to wonder why she's in SUCH a good mood!
So what all did SG do when she was in the UK? She turned 23 last Wednesday last, and that night she partied with her girlfriends at Beach Blanket Babylon in Notting Hill, and after relaxing for a few days, the festivities continued at the Savoy Hotel, where she was served tea in the Thames Foyer. Fancy! And she wasn't done! On Monday the singer/actress spent her final night at Chiltern Firehouse. Sounds like she needs a vacation from all that partying!
Maybe she'll stop by Bieber's pad for a little R&R? You KNOW Jelena isn't over yet...

We're guessing Yeezy looooved this outfit!
On Tuesday Kim Kardashian squeezed her pregnant belly into yet another skintight dress, and she stopped by the Hollywood studio where hubby Kanye West was working on new music. Kanye didn't emerge from the building for another couple of hours, and when he did he was joined by an assistant -- and he wasn't exactly in the best mood. Yikes! Was it something Kim said or is he just stressed with work?
Over a year ago producer Rick Rubin confirmed that he was working on Kanye's new album, and though it seemed to be on pause for several months, Yeezy's been back at it lately and spending a lot of time at the studio. Perhaps that's causing problems with Kim, especially since she's preggers with their second child? Last month Kanye phoned in to Hot 97's morning radio show to chat about the progress he's making and he said, "[I'm working] on it slowly, make it an art project, you know, deliver the innovation that I know I have consistently done since 808s and Dark Fantasy." Seems like he's back in work mode now!
Late last year this was a major problem, and Kanye's desire to spend more time working than with his family caused some major drama. "When they got married the deal was they would spend time together with the baby," a source told the Mirror at the time. "But he hasn’t kept up that promise. He’s super busy and continuing his crazy schedule. Right now for the holidays especially, it was all supposed to be resolved, but it’s still causing a major problem."
Maybe Kim just wants to make sure things don't get out of hand again? As you may remember, Yeezy totally ditched her on Thanksgiving!
