Kris Jenner Tried To Bribe Reporter With Cupcakes

Kris Jenner Tried To Bribe Reporter With Cupcakes, Does this bribe make me look fat? It does? Damn! Then I better pull on some giant Spanx before I go out in public with my new sterling silver Tiffany bribe that Kris Jenner sent me. I don’t want to embarrass a Kardashian by looking like a big ass or anything.

What am I talking about? My first ever bribe, baby, that’s what! Here’s how I came to be a proud bribee: On Tuesday, I wrote a review of “Kris,” a horrible new talk show by the mother of all self-promoters, Kris Jenner.

A few hours later, a messenger arrived at The Post bearing a dozen Magnolia cupcakes (see the need for Spanx, above) and one $325 sterling silver Tiffany pen. With a note.

At first I thought maybe a grateful reader wanted to reward me for saying that Kris came across like a demented Norma Desmond, or that she had as much right to have a talk show as her talentless daughter had for hosting a talent show.

But nooo.

It was from Norma herself — Kris Jenner — who somehow thought it would be a great idea to send a journalist a hugely expensive pen with a note saying that I could use it to write her a better review next time.

And you thought the fake wedding was bad form.

I was concerned. Had Jenner’s publicist fallen into a debilitating coma and wasn’t able to tell her that reporters aren’t allowed to accept bribes — and that, in real life, people don’t get expensive free stuff for media whoring? Well, not all the time, anyway.

So, Kris, let’s get something straight right here, right now. I cannot be bought — for a pen. A pen and pencil set, maybe — but just a pen?

To improve your rating, Mrs. Kardashian-Jenner, either you somehow become interesting, which given the data seems as likely as the pope turning Jewish, or you do better with the bribes.

To guarantee that great four-star rating next time, simply follow this handy, sliding scale ratings chart:

Four stars — A new Lamborghini — and not the model car version either!

Three stars — Two crocodile Birkin bags.

Two stars — Set of very big studs — diamond, not Chippendale’s.

One star — How dare you think I can be bribed!

No stars: Keep on doing what you’re doing.
