  • Kendall Jenner Supports Dad Bruce Jenner’s Transition to Caitlyn Jenner

    Kendall Jenner shared her love and support for her father, Bruce Jenner, on Monday, as he shared his transition from a man to a woman on the July cover of Vanity Fair magazine.

    While it must be difficult for a 19-year-old to comprehend, Kendall took to social media to laud the new and very beautiful Caitlyn Jenner.

    She wasn’t alone in sharing her support either. Other members of the Keeping Up With the Kardashians family, as well as those both inside and outside of the celebrity world, shared their support for Caitlyn Jenner.

    Kendall Jenner first showed her support by retweeting Caitlyn Jenner’s first official tweet–that Vanity Fair cover.

    She went on to praise the cover.

    And finally, Kendall Jenner shared some very sweet, meaningful words with Caitlyn Jenner.

    Khloe Kardashian shared her love and support–and pride–as well.

    Kim Kardashian West lauded not only Caitlyn Jenner, but photographer Annie Leibovitz, who is responsible for the gorgeous cover shot and the photo spread inside July’s Vanity Fair.

    She then urged everyone to follow Caitlyn Jenner on Twitter.

    It can’t be as easy as it seems for Kendall Jenner and her sisters to watch the man they knew as their dad and stepdad transition into a woman. There must be a sense of mourning that accompanies their pride. Kylie Jenner–the younger of Bruce and Kris Jenner’s children–has yet to publicly acknowledge the transition.

    Kudos to Kendall Jenner, Khloe Kardashian, and Kim Kardashian West in their support of Caitlyn Jenner. In addition to showing a member of their family the love she deserves, they are setting a fine example for other families with members experiencing life as Bruce Jenner did prior to his transition.

  • Bruce Jenner Reveals Caitlyn Jenner on Cover of July’s ‘Vanity Fair’

    Bruce Jenner has revealed the ‘her’ he so frequently referred to in his recent interview with Diane Sawyer. ‘Her’ name is Caitlyn Jenner, and she graces both the cover and pages inside the July issue of Vanity Fair.

    The cover shot is of a graceful, very pretty version of Bruce Jenner. The artistry of renown photographer Annie Leibovitz enhances her beauty.

    Inside its pages, July’s Vanity Fair features an article about Bruce Jenner–now Caitlyn Jenner–written by Pulitzer Prize–winning contributing editor and author of Friday Night Lights, Buzz Bissinger. Bissinger was allowed more inside access to Bruce Jenner as he transitioned into Caitlin than anyone outside the Keeping Up With the Kardashians family.

    “If I was lying on my deathbed and I had kept this secret and never ever did anything about it, I would be lying there saying, ‘You just blew your entire life,’” Bruce Jenner told him.

    There is no question that Bruce Jenner–now officially Caitlyn Jenner–is simply stunning on the July cover of Vanity Fair. The champagne-colored corseted leotard shows off a body any middle-aged woman would bare with pride.

    Hopefully the emotional transition proceeds as beautifully as the physical one, and Bruce Jenner–as the new and very pretty Caitlyn Jenner–embarks on this new phase of living.

    Soon the media will flood publications with reports on how Kylie and Kendall Jenner, as well as Kourtney, Kim, and Khloe Kardashian perceive the new Caitlyn Jenner. They will surely weigh in on everything Kris Jenner has to say, too.

    Caitlyn Jenner is likely holding her breath, hoping that all is done tastefully–and with kindness.

    Ellen DeGeneres has shared her thoughts. May all that follow mirror her gentle, loving ways.

  • Annie Leibovitz Ruins Kimye’s Honeymoon

    Annie Leibovitz Ruins Kimye’s Honeymoon

    Kanye West is not a happy man, and recently dissed legendary photographer Annie Leibovitz for pulling out right before their wedding.

    While at the Cannes Lions Creativity Conference, where he was sitting in on a panel for “Translation: Technology, Culture, and Consumer Adoption: Learning to Read the Cultural Landscape” on Tuesday, June 17, Kanye voiced his outrage and said that Annie, who shot their April 2014 Vogue cover, decided to cancel the gig at the last second because she was scared.

    Kanye isn’t one to keep his mouth shut when something bothers him, so it is no surprise that he took the opportunity to lash out at Annie. “I don’t want to say all these big over-the-top statements that end up getting quoted the wrong way,” West started out by saying.

    Kanye revealed that his new wife Kim Kardashian was upset during the honeymoon because they had to spend so much time, four days to be exact, working on their first kiss picture so that it would be suitable to post on Instagram.

    “Let me tell you something about that kiss photo that my girl put up … this was pissing my girl off during the honeymoon, she was exhausted because we worked on the photo so much because Annie Leibovitz pulled out right before the wedding,” West said. “I was like, ‘Okay, I still want my wedding photos to look like Annie Leibovitz,’ so we sat there and worked on that photo for, like, four days because the flowers were off-color,” West continued.

    West went on to explain that his wife is the number one Instagram user, and is very important to the internet, which is why everything had to be absolutely perfect. “Can you imagine telling someone who wants to just Instagram a photo, who’s the No. 1 person on Instagram, ‘We need to work on the color of the flower wall?’” West said. “Or the idea that it’s a Givenchy dress, and it’s not about the name Givenchy, it’s about the talent that is Riccardo Tisci — and how important Kim is to the Internet?”

    Although they had to spare four days of their honeymoon, Kimye’s hard work did pay off. Kim’s post on Instagram became the most-liked photo on a social media site with 2.28 million likes and 51,000 shares. “The fact the No. 1 most-liked photo [on Instagram] has a kind of aesthetic was a win for what the mission is, which is raising the palette,” West added.
