Look out Us Weekly and In Touch, The Kardashians will be your new competition!

Perhaps due to all the negative publicity after Kim’s ill-fated marriage, The Kardashians now want to lead their own tabloid magazine.

Reports claim they are close to landing a deal with American Media Inc., which owns Star and The National Enquirer.

“This is a Kardashian idea,” a source said. “They have been reaching out to several media outlets.”

The girls plan to be heavily involved editorially, but Kris Jenner won’t be editor-in-chief, but will certainly be pulling the strings. Backseat driver.

“Now the Kardashians can spin their own stories in print,” a competitor sniped.

AMI launched Reality Weekly, a magazine devoted to reality TV, with Victoria Gotti as editor. Some suspect the Kardashian mag will be similar to Kim’s celebuzz blog, which is packed with family happenings and plugs for sponsors.

AMI and a Kardashian rep declined to comment.

Rumor has it, the mag could launch as soon as this Spring.
