Kanye West and Kim KardashianKim Kardashian and Kanye West are set to make $21 million from their upcoming wedding.

The couple - who have 11-month-old daughter North together - will tie the knot in Paris on May 24 and are reportedly "cutting deals left and right" in order to profit from their lavish nuptials, even though the event won't be filmed for Keeping Up with the Kardashians.

A source told In Touch magazine that the 33-year-old reality TV star is allowing the E! network to capture "everything leading up to and after" their big day. "She's taping everything else so she can get things for free in exchange for the exposure. They realized how much their wedding was costing, so they told E! they wouldn't allow parts of it to be taped unless the network offered them more than $15 million, which is what Kim got for her wedding to Kris [Humphries]. Her mom couldn't help herself either. Kris [Jenner] is trying to get them another $4 million for their wedding photos," the source explained.

Kanye West to Attend Kim’s Baby Shower

Kim Kardashian and Kanye WestKanye West will attend Kim Kardashian's baby shower on Sunday.

Although the "Power" rapper was initially reluctant to attend the female only bash, he now plans to make an appearance with Lamar Odom, who is married to Kim's sister Khloe and Scott Disick, the partner of her other sibling Kourtney.

"It's girls only but Kanye will come at the end. But then I think Scott [Disick] and Lamar [Odom] might bring Kanye. That might happen at the end. That's what we were all deciding. Because Kanye says he feels a little weird for him to be the only guy at it. I think if all the guys come at the end, it's good," Khloe told Ryan Seacrest.

It was previously claimed Kim, 32, had begged 35-year-old Kanye to attend, but he was uncomfortable with the idea.

Ryan Seacrest and Julianne HoughRyan Seacrest and Julianne Hough have split up.

The American Idol host and the Safe Haven actress reportedly called time on two-year-relationship recently because their "busy work schedules proved to be a great challenge for them both," according to People. Yet, Ryan, 38 and 24-year-old Julianne are still in contact and remain friends.

Julianne previously admitted juggling work and a relationship was tough: "It's a hard thing to do, especially when you're so caught up in your work and bettering yourself. I think at the end of the day you have to find a balance with what's really important."

However, just last month, Julianne hinted the couple had been discussing marriage and admitted seeing Ryan on TV at the Grammy Awards made her heart skip a beat. "I flew in from Nashville - I was at my sister's baby shower - and I walked in right as he was on and he looked so hot. He looked so cute! I got all giddy because it was super exciting to see my man on TV. I was so proud of him. I always thought of who I'm going to be with the rest of my life and what my life is going to be like with that person. I was one of those girls when I was a kid that never really planned a wedding or thought of the big wedding day. A wedding to me is whatever, I mean, it's a cool party but I'm not a big wedding kind of person."

Julianne Hough and Ryan SeacrestJulianne Hough was "reluctant" to date Ryan Seacrest.

The 24-year-old beauty - who met the American Idol host in 2007 - admits she was so nervous about their first date she barraged him with questions rather than simply enjoying her time with him. "I was reluctant because he is such an influential guy and what if it didn't work out? Our first date, I was so nervous that I just sat there and interviewed him with questions like, 'Are you loyal?' and, 'Are you close to your family?'" she said.

However, Julianne - whose brother is Dancing with the Stars professional Derek Hough - is now so comfortable with him that she has put on weight, and can no longer drink cheap wine due to the cultural influence he has had on her: "I'm 20lbs heavier than I was when we started dating, and now we always have great wine, and I can tell the difference. So I told him, 'You ruined my life because I can't go to a friend's house and drink cheap wine anymore!'"

Julianne Hough and Ryan SeacrestJulianne Hough was afraid of dating Ryan Seacrest.

The 23-year-old dancer-and-actress insists she was never worried about the American Idol presenter being 14 years older than her but resisted a relationship because he is so "powerful and influential."

"I've never dated anyone my age but Ryan is definitely the oldest man I've dated. Age is irrelevant I think. Mutual friends would be like, 'You guys would match perfectly.' And then eventually when I was single, he emailed me. I was very cold. I was nervous about dating him because he is a very scary person. He's powerful and influential. I was like, 'No, no, no' but it just ended up happening."

Ryan is renowned for being a workaholic, and the Rock of Ages star admits they can find it hard to see one another: "Our inside joke is that we have to schedule scheduling hanging out. But it somehow works."
