Kris Jenner has reached that level of fame where her name is a commodity all its own.
At this point, she could probably just pull a Cher and go the mono-name route if she wanted to (though that might be kinda weird, as it wasn"t that long ago that she wasn"t the only Kris in the family).
But Kris isn"t planning to become "Just Kris" anytime soon.
It seems she does, however, plan to change her famous name in the very near future.
In the deleted Keeping Up With the Kardashians scene below, Kris stuns Khloe by revealing that she plans to officially rejoin the Kard clan:
"I"m going to change my name back to Kardashian," says the 60-year-old matriarch.
Khloe rightly points out that if Kris wants to change her name as a result of her divorce, it would make more sense for her to return to her maiden name.
"Why? You haven"t been that in over 24 years," Khloe says.
"I was that before you were that," Kris explains. "I was the original Kardashian."
Well, technically the original Kardashian (at least as far as living Kardashians are cocerned) would be Robert, Sr., whom Kris cheated on and kicked to the curb.
So yeah, in that sense, it is a little strange (some would say downright disrespectful) for her to change her name back to Kardashian.
But in another sense, she"s had as much a role in building the Kardashian empire as anyone, and we could see why she"d want the whole world to know she"s a part of the brand.
Yes, at 60, Kris Jenner is planning to change her name because she feels that she just doesn"t get enough attention from the public.
Watch Keeping Up With the Kardashians online to appease Kris before her ego consumes us all.
