"The Court believes that the Settlement Conference resulted in productive dialogue towards a potential resolution and believes that a Second Settlement Conference may be warranted in this matter following certain additional proceedings,” the judge wrote in documents obtained by Radar.

Ellen Kardashian?

Kim, Kourtney, Khloe and Rob Kardashian along with their momager Kris Jenner are suing Ellen, claiming she had no right to sell details from their father’s diaries to a number of magazines.

In response, the ex-stepmom is suing them for defamation, intentionally inflicting emotional distress, a civil conspiracy to defame and the public disclosure of private facts.
