If there's one thing you can say about Kris Jenner, it's that she has been instrumental in helping her daughters' careers rise to fame. Ever since she stepped into the limelight, along with Kim and her other offspring in the reality show Keeping Up with The Kardashians, Kris Jenner has been nicknamed "Momager" for being the manager for her six children.
It's a nickname that she is wholeheartedly embracing as she files the legal paperwork to officially trademark the name. According to reports, if granted the trademark, she will be able to sue anyone who uses the term without her permission.
Paris Hilton - "That's hot."
When the reality series The Simple Life hit it big and catapulted the millionaire heiress to fame (after her sex tape scandal), Paris Hilton trademarked her signature catchphrase, "That's hot."
Emeril Lagasse - "Bam!"
Celebrity chef, whose overenthusiastic antics in the kitchen earned him a place in all our hearts, owns his trademark "Bam!" with an exclamation point!
Rachel Zoe - "I die."
The eccentric sought-after celebrity stylist had a list of her own "Zoe-sms" on her reality show. But her trademarked, "I die," is the only one she legally owns.
Donald Trump - "You're fired."
Following the hit of his show The Apprentice, Donald Trump - seeing a good business opportunity - immediately filed the paperwork to trademark the show's well known phrase for giving contestants the boot, "You're fired."
Charlie Sheen - "Duh, winning." (et. al.)
Charlie Sheen certainly entertained when he had his great meltdown that got him fired from his hit sitcom Two and a Half Men, among other things. But this great wizard still saw a winning opportunity and filed 22 phrases to the U.S. Patents Office to trademark.
Taylor Swift - her entire album.
In a case of what we think is taking trademarks a bit too far, Taylor Swift filed the papers to trademark many of the phrases from her 1989 album. Surprisingly, Shake it Off, was not included in her list. If she is granted the trademarks, she will be able to sue anyone for saying things like, "This is sick beat," "Could show you incredible things," "Nice to meet you, where you been?" "Cause we never go out of style," and "Party like it's 1989."
