E! CELEBRATES KENDALL JENNER'S MILESTONE BIRTHDAY ALONG WITH HER CLOSE-KNIT FAMILY AND GOOD FRIENDS WHEN THE KARDASHIAN SPECIAL "KENDALL'S SWEET 16" PREMIERES MONDAY, DECEMBER 19 AT 9:00PM ET/PT

Los Angeles, December 6, 2011 - Fans have watched Kendall Jenner grow from a shy pre-teen adored by her glamorous older sisters to a smart teenager with a burgeoning modeling career. Now, in an all-new hour-long Kardashian special, Kendall will share one of the biggest milestones in a girl's life - turning Sweet 16. This accomplished young lady is confident and on the verge of adulthood, finding her own identity and having fun doing it. The hour-long special "Kendall's Sweet 16," which will cover the weeks leading up to Kendall's big day and her Sweet 16 birthday bash, premieres Monday, December 19 at 9:00pm ET/PT only on E!

Kendall is excited to grow a year older, and is doing her best to make sure her Sweet 16 is all about celebrating with family and close friends. While she contemplates party logistics and frets over her little sister Kylie's secret birthday surprise, she's also thinking of using her birthday for the greater good by asking guests to bring donations for the Children's Hospital of Los Angeles in lieu of birthday gifts.

Turning 16 also comes with new responsibilities and Kendall is more than ready to get her driver's license and hit the road on her own. Like all parents, Kris and Bruce are nervous for her to take this step but they know that the A-student is ready for a little more independence.

"Keeping Up with the Kardashians" is produced by Ryan Seacrest Productions and Bunim/Murray Productions, the team behind E!'s hit series "Khloé & Lamar" and "Kourtney & Kim Take New York."
