The Kardashians

The Kim Kardashian robbery reeks of an inside job ... sources say that's what Paris cops think.

Sources involved in the case tell us ... police and the Kardashian family don't believe it was a coincidence that Kim was bodyguard-less at the time the robbers showed up and somehow made their way into her apartment ... they think the robbers were tipped off it was the right time to strike.

There was a very small window when the robbers had easy access. Kim had friends over until shortly before the incident went down. Kim's bodyguard was always by her side -- to the point Kim joked that it got annoying -- except for the few hours he left to protect Kourtney and Kendall in a nearby nightclub.

The Kardashians are in no way suggesting the bodyguard was in on it ... in fact, they say they know he wasn't. But they are convinced someone tipped off the robbers to strike at precisely the moment they could get in and out without detection.

As we reported ... robbers confronted the concierge at gunpoint in the lobby and he let them up to Kim's unit. We're told when the robbers left with the jewelry, they took the concierge back downstairs.

We're told if there was a tip-off person, there's a long suspect list ... there are multiple units in the building and lots of people involved in Paris Fashion Week knew Kim's comings and goings.

Kanye West isn't leaving his wife's side just yet -- he's pulled the plug on 2 upcoming concerts, including Tuesday's in Philly, rescheduled for Dec. 13

Take it as a sign of just how shaken Kim Kardashian was by the armed robbery in Paris -- Kanye postponed the Philly show and Thursday night's gig in Detroit will now take place Dec. 22

Kim flew back to NYC Monday morning after the ordeal, and Kanye -- with an army of bodyguards -- has been locked down with her ever since.

Kim Kardashian was ordered out of bed by masked men she initially thought were going to rape her.

Our sources say ... Kim was lying in bed with only her robe on when she heard boots pounding up the stairs of her 2 story apartment.

We're told Kim saw at least one masked man and another wearing a police hat through a sliding glass door. She knew something was amiss, so she rolled off the bed and tried dialing her bodyguard on her cell phone.

Before she could finish dialing one of the men yanked the phone out of her hands. They zip tied her hands with plastic handcuffs and duct taped her to make it more secure. We're told one of the men grabbed her by the ankles ... Kim told cops at that point she believed she was about to be raped.

The robbers duct taped her ankles, picked her up and put her in the bathtub. She then started screaming ... begging them not to kill her because she had babies. She went on to say she had money and they could take whatever they wanted.

Kim told cops the robbers did not know English and only spoke French. The only thing she understood ... the men kept saying, "ring, ring." Kim knew what they were after -- the new ring she got from Kanye. She told them where it was in the apartment, but that was not the end.

Kim continued to beg and cry, and at that point the robbers duct taped her mouth shut.

We're told a friend of Kim's -- Simone -- was also in the apartment ... sleeping in the downstairs bedroom. Simone heard the commotion and locked herself in the bathroom and called Pascal, the bodyguard, and Kourtney ... telling them to hurry back because something was terribly wrong.

Pascal got back to the apartment 2 minutes after the robbers left.

The entire incident took around 6 minutes.

Kourtney Kardashian touched down in L.A. and was greeted by a tighter security detail than usual, and they immediately went to work ... shielding her from a horde of media.

Kourtney was whisked through LAX with 2 huge guys surrounding her -- while other bodyguards cleared a path to her waiting SUV.

As we reported ... Kim's trusted bodyguard, Pascal Duvier, was not with her at the time of the armed robbery -- instead he was with Kourt and Kendall Jenner in a Paris nightclub.

Much like Kim and Kris Jenner Monday morning in NYC -- it's clear the whole family is going to be rolling deep with bodyguards.

MMA legend Ken Shamrock is also a celebrity bodyguard -- and he says if he woulda been on Kim's team, she NEVER would have gotten robbed.

FYI, Shamrock has been working in personal security for years and protected big stars like 50 Cent, Fergie and Kristin Cavallari.

So, with Kim getting robbed in Paris this week -- Shamrock says there were a TON of mistakes made that he would have never let happen.

Kim Kardashian is back safely in NYC with Kanye West ... and they arrived with way more security than your average head of state.

There was an insane show of force as Kim, Kanye, Kris Jenner and Corey Gamble pulled up outside their residence -- they had a caravan of about 10 vehicles with 15-20 bodyguards watching everything and everyone in the area. NYPD's also on the scene.

The amount of security is exactly like what you see when POTUS makes an appearance.

Rob Kardashian surfaced for his coed baby shower with Blac Chyna -- a strong sign they might be able to salvage a second season of their reality show after all.

We're told Rob planned most of Sunday's Armenian-themed fete which was held at a family friend's home in Woodland Hills, CA. None of his sisters got an invite, but we're told Scott Disick and French Montana showed up, and a bunch of other family members.

It's a complete 180 from the fight that exploded last week after the sisters attempted to throw separate showers for Chyna and Rob, who had gone back to being a recluse again.

Rob put personal touches on everything from the champagne party favors to the desserts with the expectant parents' faces. Plus, a 7 layer cake, belly dancers and a Louis Vuitton diaper bag for Chyna. The whole thing was taped for their reality show. Rob had not been showing up for shoots recently, so this could mean he's had a change of heart.

Due to the taping, everyone had to turn in their phones -- which is why no one got the news about Kim's holdup in Paris until after the party.

Armed gunmen broke into Kim Kardashian's Paris apartment, taped her mouth shut and stole more than $10 million in jewelry and the emergency rippled quickly all the way to New York ... where Kanye bolted from the stage mid-concert.

There were 5 gunmen, posing as cops, who threatened the concierge and made him open the door to her room.

Our sources say at least 2 gunmen bound and gagged Kim with handcuffs and tape and then put her in the bathtub. We're told Kim begged them to spare her life, telling them she had babies at home.

The gunmen knew exactly what they were doing ... we're told they beelined it for her jewelry and took a $4.5 million ring and a jewelry box.

After the gunmen left she was able to break out of the restraints and called for help.

We're told Kim was badly shaken but unharmed, calling it "the worst moment in my life." She was interviewed by police and then hurriedly left Paris by private jet.

As for Kanye ... he was performing at the Meadows Festival in Queens, NY -- Yeezy was jamming in the middle of "Heartless" when he cut the music and made the announcement, stunning the crowd.

Hours before the robbery Kim posted video of her showing off outfits and wishing Blac Chyna a happy baby shower.

She was staying in a luxury apartment complex, in a room similar to this one.

Kendall Jenner boarded her own private jet and fled Paris hours after her sister Kim's armed robbery ... and it's obvious there's serious safety concerns for the whole family.

Before she got to the airport ... Kendall snuck out a side door at her Paris hotel, with police and at least one heavily armed guard standing watch.

Kanye West beat a hasty retreat out of his NYC pad to rendezvous with Kim Kardashian.

A somber and determined Kanye walked briskly out of the apartment building Monday morning to a waiting vehicle ... on his way to a local airport to pick up Kim ... who fled Paris after the armed robbery.

Kim Kardashian's bodyguard -- who is normally ready to pounce at the first sign of trouble -- may have been protecting 2 other Kardashians instead at the time Kim was robbed.

Kourtney Kardashian and Kendall Jenner hit the town when the 2 gunmen entered Kim's Paris apartment. There are reports ... her bodyguard, Pascal Duvier, was shadowing the 2 women since Kim had turned in for the night.

Ironically ... Kim posted a pic of Duvier shadowing her hours before the robbery, joking he was always in her shot.

Duvier was by Kim's side last week when a notorious prankster ran up and kissed her butt. Duvier had no problem taking the guy down.

Rob Kardashian and Blac Chyna's TV career together is looking short and NOT sweet -- season 2 of their show is now hanging by a thread.

Production sources on "Rob & Chyna" tell TMZ ... E! execs haven't ordered a 2nd season yet, and a big part of the problem is they can't get the couple to shoot together. As we've reported, Rob's become a hermit again and we're told that's giving the bosses cold feet. Understandably, they're worried they won't get a full season out of him.

Obviously, a sophomore season could get huge ratings with so much drama, plus a baby and possibly a wedding around the corner ... if Rob's on board, and we're told that's a BIG if right now. Not to mention the season airing now is doing very well.

Our sources say honchos think Chyna's TV gold, and would consider working with her solo on a different show -- but if her fiancé remains MIA ... "Rob & Chyna" will die on the vine.

Kylie Jenner is becoming quite the real estate aficionado ... because she just threw down millions on yet ANOTHER new mansion.

The $12 million, 13k square foot house in Hidden Hills comes equipped with 8 bedrooms, 11 bathrooms and a gigantic pool and outdoor living space.

Kylie's been swooping up properties left and right in the last year ... the latest purchase is her fourth. Our sources say the 19-year-old -- yes, 19 -- has already moved in and plans on making this one her permanent residence.

You'll remember ... Kylie's starter home was a modest $2.7 mil crib when she bought when she was 17. Then she moved on to a $6 mil place near Kim and Kanye before plunking down $4.5 mil on a home used for guests and as a work space for her cosmetics line.

We reached out to Kylie's agent Tomer Fridman who wasn't available for comment.

Khloe Kardashian can stand with common folks ... at airports, anyway.

Khloe was at LAX headed for fashion week in Paris and went through the dreaded TSA security check-in. Check out the pics ... the waiting game's no joke.

You'd think she'd at least be TSA PreCheck, right?

Kendall Jenner got lip service in the form of a new tatt inside her mouth -- it says "MEOW" but don't be fooled ... the ink is but a smoke screen.

Plain as day on the wall behind her is ... the Illuminati eye! So, all those things you suspected about the Jenner-Kardashians must be true, right? Kanye is her bro-in-law, after all!!

Blac Chyna just pulled the ultimate move to ensure Rob Kardashian won't have any more "bitches" texting him ... blasting out his number to millions of people.

Chyna posted a tweet Thursday night giving the world her soon-to-be hubby/baby daddy's digits -- and by the looks of things -- Rob's in on it. Chyna also posted a video with Rob explaining her move ... saying too many old chicks keep texting Rob, so the best way to get rid of them is to force him to change it.

You'll remember, Rob posted Kylie's number earlier this week after a baby shower planned by his sisters took a nasty turn.

You can hear Rob's phone blowing up with texts in the background of Chyna's video, so it's safe to say he'll be getting it changed VERY quickly.

Talk about a bold, but effective, strategy.
