"America's Next Top Model" is looking for their new host and according to insiders, Kendall Jenner was reportedly on the shortlist to get the hosting gig. However, her mom Kris Jenner turned down the hosting job on her daughter's behalf.
According to a HollywoodLife insider, Kris, 60, doesn't think hosting the next season of "America's Next Top Model" would be a good career move for Kendall, who is arguably one of the hottest supermodels in town right now.
The momager of the Kardashian clan apparently thinks that hosting the reality show would be a step-down from all the things Kendall has going on for her at the moment.

“Kris felt this was a step backward and so they turned it down. Kris feels Kendall is already on TV with their own reality show, and Kendall has bigger and better projects lined up for her career," the source claimed to the publication.
"Momager Kris doesn’t think it’s a good fit for her daughter,” the insider added.

Meanwhile, according to Hollywood Life, it wasn't just Kendall whom the show was considering for the job.
It seems fellow supermodel Gigi Hadid, 20, has also been given the offer, but she also turned it down because she's just too busy to commit to hosting an entire season at the moment.
"Gigi Hadid was another young model the producers have been eyeing for the gig, but her team also passed on the position. Gigi liked the idea but did not want to interrupt her busy schedule with the show. She is open to possible guest spots or maybe taking the job down the road, but the timing isn’t right for her now," the source told the publication.
Meanwhile, in the upcoming season premiere of "Keeping Up With the Kardashians," Kendall blows up on her older brother Rob Kardashian after he re-gifted the iPad, pen and keyboard she gave him on his 29th birthday to his girlfriend Blac Chyna.
Apparently, Kendall found Blac Chyna showing off her gifts to her brother on social media, prompting the supermodel to ask for them back.
“Rob is dating someone that has kind of had a bad history with my family and he fully re-gifted my gift. On top of it it’s so annoying to find out through social media because his girlfriend posted it, like there’s some things that just aren’t cool and I don’t think this is very cool," Kendall says.
