Kris Jenner of "Keeping Up with the Kardashians," became a grandmother on Dec. 14, 2009. Her daughter Kourtney had a son, Mason Dash Disick, with boyfriend Scott Disick.

In 1965 Joan Rivers had her first plastic surgery. In 2000 she became a grandmother. Edgar Cooper Endicott is daughter Melissa's son with then-husband John Endicott.

Rivers told grandparents.com that Cooper sometimes calls her Grammy and sometimes calls her Nana New Face. Some would say that the second name fits her to an E!

We've had First Grannies before, but this one actually lives in the White House, which hasn't happened since the Eisenhower administration.

Marian Robinson's son Craig Robinson, the father of three, was the first to elevate her to granny status in 1992. Grandmothers have already figured large in the Obama history. President Obama was raised largely by his grandmother.

Whoopi Goldberg has an Oscar, an Emmy, a Grammy and a Tony, but she may be prouder of her Amarah, Jerzey and Mason, her three grandchildren. Goldberg was a mother at 18 and a grandmother at 34.

She's not wild about the next step, however, telling the Daily Mail, "I accepted the grandmother thing in my thirties, but great-grandchildren I’m not doing."

As the matriarch of the musical Jackson clan, Katherine Jackson must have been used to being in the public eye.
