All but one of the stocks we track are in the red today. (CBS(CBS), loosely associated with the family due to mom Kris Jenner's occasional guest host spots on "The Talk," is up 13 cents, or about 0.5%, at $25.93.) The biggest loser is Disney, off 93 cents, or 2.5%, at $35.28, followed by General Electric(GE), which along with Comcast(CMCSA) owns NBCUniversal, which owns E!, the network responsible for the original "Keeping Up With the Kardashians" reality show and all of its spinoffs. GE is off by 38 cents, or 2.2%, at $16.88, while Comcast is losing 11 cents, or 0.4%, at $23.75.None of the moves is particularly notable in today's overall action, which has the Dow off 1.2% and the S&P 500 down 1.3%. Regardless, knowing the Kardashians, they'll find some way to spin the divorce in their favor -- and that of their sponsors. Perhaps E! can broadcast the divorce proceedings in a sequel to "Kim's Fairytale Wedding: A Kardashian Event," which aired earlier this month.
