keeping it real 

When a black celebrity/athlete gets into trouble and his teamates/black commentators/BET media say he's "Keeping it real", as if it were assumed he is supposed to act like that. It is more or less a black-on-black racist term. (White people don't use the term and are largely unaware of what it means.) It says that black people are supposed to get in trouble with the law, thusly "keeping it real"; being true to their race.

A lot of people probably said Kobe Bryant was "keeping it real" when he got into trouble, or when insert name basketball player got busted for marijuana possession, not realizing they are perpetuating the racism they try to fight at the same time.

Keeping Up with the Kardashians 

'Keeping Up with the Kardashians' is the perfect show for you if you like the feeling you get when your brain is disintergrating. I caught a clip of it one time and Kim was unhappy because Kourtney borrowed her things without asking. So basically, the people in it just make a soap opera out of everything that happens in their world of nonsense. If you like 'The Hills', you'll like this. It's exactly the same, except the cast are fatter.

Tracy: I hate it when my parents go on about how much more clever by sister is than me. I wish I was that clever. But, I'd have to spend a lifetime studying to get up to her level.
Lauren: Rather then make yourself smarter, why not just make your sister dumber. Make her watch 'Keeping Up with the Kardashians'. Her brain will turn into mush in no time.
