If Kim Kardashian thought her first child would continue the family tradition of being famous for not very much, than she thought WRONG! Boyfriend Kanye West has other ideas for his son or daughter to-be and "doesn't want them wasted" on silly reality television programmes. Take that, E! Network.

"Kanye has a very healthy ego and thinks any child of his will carry his talented genes. He doesn't want them wasted on becoming a reality star. He sees any son or daughter of his being a great performer like himself," a family friend of Kanye's tells The Huffington Post. To be fair to Kim, she may be changing tact after settling down with Kanye. The pair decided against going down the traditional Kardashian method of releasing news (selling to tabloids for millions) and revealed her pregnancy news on her own website. Additionally, the couple have reportedly turned down $3 million for the first images of the child. "Kanye sees himself as a great artist. He thinks his work is very important. He has even called himself the new Michael Jackson," one insider reveals. "He wants his child to follow in his career footsteps, not mom's."

A spokesperson for Kardashian did not return calls for comment. Maybe she really is done with the whole reality thing? Don't hold your breath.
