Kim Kardashian aims at becoming sitcom star

New York, Apr 30 (ANI): Kim Kardashian is planning to branch out from reality TV to star in her own sitcom.

According to sources, the 31-year-old beauty is in the early stages of developing her own scripted half-hour comedy series, in addition to having just extended her family's deal with E! Entertainment for three more seasons of their namesake hit, 'Keeping Up With the Kardashians.'

"Kim wants to move beyond reality TV and become a comedy actress," the New York Post quoted a source as saying.

"She really wants to be the next Sofia Vergara," a source said.

Sources close to the reality star add she's eager to establish herself apart from her family.

"Acting is something she wants to do just for her," one source said.

"Kim wants to do something that wouldn't involve her sisters [Kourtney and Khloe]," the source said.

Kim's desire to move on to her own show comes after a number of appearances away from her family and E! She popped up on a live episode of NBC's '30 Rock' on Thursday, playing herself in two scenes, and tweeted afterward: "Anyone see 30 Rock tonight??? I had a blast!!!! Love this show!" Jon Hamm, Paul McCartney, Amy Poehler and Jimmy Fallon also made cameos.

Kris Humphries' ex also played herself on an episode of Tim Allen's ABC sitcom "Last Man Standing" in February.

And she'll also be playing a character in Tyler Perry's upcoming movie, "The Marriage Counselor," opposite Vanessa Williams and Jurnee Smollett.

It's unclear who'll produce Kim's proposed sitcom, but sources speculate it could be "Kardashians" partner Ryan Seacrest. (ANI)
