Kris Jenner might be celebrating her 60th birthday today, but her celebrations will no doubt be cut short by the news she's been slapped with a multi-million euro lawsuit.

A gaming company claim their designs and ideas for the Kim Kardashian gaming app were stolen and used without any credit.

Kung Fu Factory allege that Kris contacted them to put together a "very specific" proposal for a Kardashian-themed game, for which they included information on how the characters would appear and how the game would be played by users.

After months of radio silence, Kung Fu said they were told plans for the game were off and that the talks were "dead."

Yet in 2014, the Kim Kardashian: Hollywood gaming app was indeed launched with huge success. According to Forbes it has pulled in a record €185m in its first year alone.

Kung Fu want damages repaid and a chunk of the profits, in exchange for the ideas and research they shared with the famous family.

Speaking back in June, Kim said she was initially reluctant to launch a game, but that her husband Kanye West eventually convinced her.

"‘Kanye really talked me into doing this partnership… I thank him every day for making me do this deal," she told Mail Online.

Users of the app can create their own "aspiring celebrity" and help them rise through the ranks from Z-list to A-list by completing a series of tasks, like meeting managers, doing modelling gigs and attending parties – though there's no "make a sex tape" option…

Karl Lagarfeld recently became the newest celebrity to be added to the game, with users now able to buy Chanel-inspired clothes for their avatars.

Just months ago these two seemed to be getting on like best pals.

Times have certainly changed between Kim Kardashian and Perez Hilton then. In Mya Kim announced that Perez would be featured in her iPhone game, Kim Kardashian: Hollywood.

At the time of the announcement Kim said “Nothing like a little Perez Hilton to keep things interesting.”

After this news we are inclined to agree.

Not too long ago Perez announced that he, and his site, would be going on a ‘Kardashian Kleanse’ which is exactly what you think it is.

He vowed to not post anything Kardashian related for a week, technically five days but that’s fine. The work week is long enough as it is.

He wrote in a post: "Next week we'll be highlighting DAILY inspiring stories about amazing women from all around the world!​​"

He also started a #NoKardashiansForAWeek hashtag on social media, because he’s Perez Hilton and he apparently does nothing quietly.

In what appears to be a response to this Kardashian-Lite effort, the official Twitter account for Kim’s app posted a tweet which asked users if they wanted Perez’s character removed from the game.

Quite a high number of users apparently wouldn’t mind seeing the celebrity blogger get the boot. Seeing as Kim has already unfollowed him on Twitter that doesn’t seem to surprising. Her fans are loyal, that is for sure.

Is Perez concerned? He responded to the poll by saying it’s “a bit much… but we’re totally living for it!!!”
