Oprah Asks Kim Kardashian's Little Sister, "Do you have any interest in anything in school?"
Oprah managed to squeeze a little real talk into her special on the Kardashians.
During her interview with the youngest daughters Kendall and Kylie Jenner, Oprah and a camera crew went into the teen girls' massive closets for a peek at their Louboutins and designer duds (many of them still had the price tags on). And then right there in Kylie's closet, Oprah turns to her and asks her pointedly: "Do you have any interest in anything in school at all?"
Kylie responded, "I do love school. We both love school, but it's just harder to keep up with everything." (That's right, it is hard keeping up with the Kardashians.)
Kendall adds later during the interview that she doesn't really remember life without cameras: "We were so young when we started the show. We were both, like, 8 and 9. I don't remember what it was like before that to not have this."
