Kris Jenner Eyes Robert Irwins Career, Mom Unhappy

Celebrity momager has reportedly set her sights on Robert Irwin as the 'next young talent to take under her wing'.

However, Terri, 61, reportedly has reservations about Robert, 22, working with the matriarch of the  clan because she doesn't want him to become tabloid fodder.

'Kris is a master at spotting talent and turning it into global empires, so it's hard for Terri to complain. But she's worried - history hasn't been kind to the men who get involved with the Kardashians,' an insider claimed in this week's Woman's Day magazine.

According to the publication, the  star is impressed by Robert's 'incredibly telegenic, wholesome and authentic' nature.

'Kris can see Robert becoming a major multiplatform star, starting with an upgraded version of Crikey! It's the Irwins. She envisions major product lines, partnerships with National Geographic, even luxury watch brands,' the source continued.

'It will ultimately be up to Robert, but Terri can see their entire family being wrapped up in a reality TV show because of Kris,' the source added.
