Kim Kardashian Baby Bump UPDATE: Pregnant Starlet 'Paid to Get Fat' for Weight Loss Deal? Kim K Sends Kate Middleton 'Maternity Gift,' No Response, Feud Brewing?

Ready for the latest rumors surround the pregnant Kim Kardashian and her ever-growing baby bump? This time around, such gossip involves fellow pregnant socialite Kate Middleton and the fact that Kim K's allegedly packing on the pounds in order to secure a hefty weight loss deal post-baby. You heard that right, Mstars fans! Read on for all the details!

A recent cover issue of In Touch magazine blares the headline - "Shocking new claim: PAID TO GET FAT! Already a staggering 205 lbs, pregnant Kim is accused of scheming to make millions off of her massive weight gain."

According to an alleged inside source, "I wouldn't put it past her to blow up just so her weight loss is more dramatic...The way diet company deals are structured, bonuses are often built in for losing more weight in a shorter period of time...She knows what she's doing by showing off her heavier figure and stuffing her face in public. The more she looks heavy and out of control with her eating, the more she will be worth."

The gossip rag goes on to quote Dukan Diet spokesperson Dianna Antlocer as stating, "We would love it if Kim would be interested in the Dukan Diet to lose the post-pregnancy weight. We would definitely work with her."

Of course any popular diet plan would enjoy signing on a big-name celeb to work with them post-pregnancy (look at Weight Watchers!) - but that doesn't necessarily mean Kim K's packing on extra baby weight in order to do so!

Kim K has also spoken out, claiming that she hasn't gained as much weight as the tabloids make it out to be.

Similar shady rumors were previously spread by the New York Post and Star magazine... Gossip Cop again reached out to a legit source who insists that such baby weight talk is "100 percent not true."

Meanwhile, another story is making its way around the web involving a rekindled feud between Kardashian and Kate Middleton thanks to Mirror. Apparently, Kimmy sent the Duchess of Cambridge a maternity gift and note wishing her well on her pregnancy. The tabloid explains:

[Kardashian is] convinced she and the Duchess of Cambridge are kindred maternal sisters after discovering the pair are expecting two weeks apart... Obsessed with the idea her baby shares its birth month - July - with the Royal family, [Kardashian] has written to Kate, wishing her luck with the birth and including a small gift. 

Kim K was allegedly disappointed when Middleton never responded.

Another source confirms to Gossip Cop that Kardashian has "never been in any communication" with Middleton, and the story is completely bogus.

Sort of reminds us of this alleged Kim K and Middleton "feud"...
