  • Candis Cayne Deciphers Caitlyn Jenner’s Real Sexuality

    Caitlyn Jenner has been getting a lot of moral support from her friends lately. Through her I am Cait reality show, the people got to see the friends who help her become the person she has always wanted to be and one of them is Candis Cayne.

    Cayne talked about Caitlyn Jenner’s glam look in a recent interview with Hollywood Reporter.

    “When you’re coming from a sports hero, you have to do a 180, you have to go the exact opposite,” she said of Jenner’s makeover.

    “They needed to show that side of Caitlyn, which is female, ultimately female,” Cayne explained.

    She has been an important part of I am Cait because her insights helped Jenner see the plight of trans-women and the issues they are facing. Cayne also revealed that she had experienced domestic violence at the hands of her boyfriends in the past.

    Just how much does she know Jenner?

    In the latest preview of I am Cait, Cayne revealed she felt Jenner is attracted to women.

    “I think that Cait is probably… my gut says that she is attracted to women.” This was after the two visited a gay bar for their reality show. Jenner, apparently, felt uncomfortable with the atmosphere of the bar because of the almost-naked men dancing at the venue. However, when a scantily-dressed woman appeared, Jenner seemed to express interest in her.

    Cayne added, “your sexuality and your gender are two completely different things … and it’s no one’s business.”

    She has been rumored to be dating Jenner recently but they have not cleared the issues yet. Last month, she asked Jenner on a date for their reality show. The two are very close friends, reports claimed.

    Forty-four-year-old Cayne is currently single ad has said that she thinks being a transgender woman has made it difficult for her to find her love.

  • Candis Cayne Defends Caitlyn Jenner’s Overt Glamour, Are They A Couple?

    Candis Cayne recently spoke out in defense of close friend Caitlyn Jenner’s overt glamour. Some have criticized the I Am Cait star’s look–especially her big reveal on the cover of Vanity Fair magazine.

    “When you’re coming from a sports hero, you have to do a 180, you have to go the exact opposite,” Cayne says. “If they’re gonna put her in a frumpy dress on the cover of Vanity Fair, nothing would have been gained by that. They needed to show that side of Caitlyn, which is female, ultimately female. And every girl has that in her, doesn’t she?”

    Candis Cayne is quick to agree with critics who diss Caitlyn Jenner, saying she is anything but an average trans woman. She defends her once again, however, since Bruce Jenner didn’t become Caitlyn Jenner until age 65.

    “Yes, Caitlyn had it easier financially,” Candis points out, “but she waited till she was 65.”

    Some believe Caitlyn Jenner and Candis Cayne are romantically involved, but that doesn’t appear to be the case. Candis Cayne seems more like a close friend with the experience Caitlyn needs to navigate this new world she has entered.

    Both Candis Cayne and Caitlyn Jenner meet with a matchmaker on an upcoming episode of I Am Cait. It’s unlikely they will be matched up with one another.

    It seems that Caitlyn Jenner is very luck to have a friend like Candis Cayne in her corner.

    Do you think there is anything else going on between the two?

  • Candis Cayne Dishes On Her Relationship With Caitlyn Jenner

    There has been much speculation about Candis Cayne and her relationship with Caitlyn Jenner.

    Some seem to think that the sidekicks are more than just friends. However, according to Candis, the transgender friends are just that — friends.

    While Candis Cayne has been supportive of Caitlyn Jenner as the former Olympian adjusts to her new life, their close relationship, as depicted on the E! docuseries, I Am Cait, she has reassured fans that the two are merely friends despite the media frenzy over whether they are a couple.

    Cayne was asked about their relationship status when she appeared on Access Hollywood on Wednesday.

    “Caitlyn and I are really good friends. I really love her a lot, and it’s been amazing being by her side through this whole process,” the actress said.

    Cayne, who invited Jenner for a sleepover at her L.A. home on Sunday’s episode of I Am Cait, also said that Jenner’s not really her type. Instead, the former drag queen dished on her real crush — Jon Stewart.

    And although fans may be disappointed that Jenner has not found a new love, Candis reassures everyone that she and Jenner will remain “really, really, really good friends.”

    She also defended her new pal, who has been criticized for the “fairytale” aspect of her transition.

    “She’s lived her whole life being transgender but never being able to do anything about it,” Cayne said. “That’s just as hard as somebody like me, who at 24 decided that’s what I wanted to do with my life in order to be okay with things. So I went through other struggles, but she did also.”

  • Mark Zuckerberg and Priscilla Chan Are Having a Baby

    Mark Zuckerberg and Priscilla Chan Are Having a Baby

    Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg and his wife Priscilla Chan are going to be parents.

    Zuckerberg announced that they will be having a baby girl. It will be their first child.

    “This will be a new chapter in our lives. We’ve already been so fortunate for the opportunity to touch people’s lives around the world — Cilla as a doctor and educator, and me through this community and philanthropy. Now we’ll focus on making the world a better place for our child and the next generation,” he said in a post.

    Priscilla and I have some exciting news: we're expecting a baby girl!This will be a new chapter in our lives. We've…

    Posted by Mark Zuckerberg on Friday, July 31, 2015

    Zuckerberg revealed that it’s been a struggle for him and Chan, as they’ve had three miscarriages.

    “You feel so hopeful when you learn you’re going to have a child. You start imagining who they’ll become and dreaming of hopes for their future. You start making plans, and then they’re gone. It’s a lonely experience. Most people don’t discuss miscarriages because you worry your problems will distance you or reflect upon you — as if you’re defective or did something to cause this. So you struggle on your own,” says Zuckerberg.

    “We hope that sharing our experience will give more people the same hope we felt and will help more people feel comfortable sharing their stories as well.”

  • Caitlyn Jenner Opens Up About Ronda, Her Mom

    Caitlyn Jenner is not afraid to say what is on her mind. For a long time, Bruce Jenner had hung back, taken all the razzing about that ponytail, listened to Kris Jenner ribbing him about how he dressed.

    Caitlyn Jenner is having none of that. When rumor surfaced that she might be interested in Kris’ best friend Ronda Kamihira, Kim Kardashian asked about it.

    “I don’t need to explain my relationship to anybody,” Caitlyn responded. “Nothing is going on. Certainly my intentions are not to hurt Kris. I don’t want anybody upset, but Kris is not going to tell me who I can and cannot hang out with.”

    Now Caitlyn is opening up a bit more about Ronda and the nature of their relationship.

    “Years ago I confided in Ronda, and she really has been a friend that has supported me,” Caitlyn Jenner says in her new show I Am Cait. “Combined with [hairdresser] Courtney, I’ve really got a great support group. From that standpoint, I’m blessed.”

    In fact Caitlyn says it was Ronda who was her sounding board for deciding on her name. And “Caitlyn” was Ronda’s suggestion.

    “I kind of narrowed it down to a few of them, Caitlyn being one of them, and I actually was with Ronda,” she explained. “I was talking to her about this whole thing about two years ago, and she goes, ‘Well, I’ve always liked the name Caitlyn.’ And I went, at some point, you just have to kind of bite the bullet and say, ‘Boom, it’s done.’ ”

    While Caitlyn is reveling in her newfound honesty and freedom, she does have a concern that her mother may not quite be able to get her head around it all.

    “I just sit here and … wonder. Everybody is very positive, and everybody feels really good about all this stuff but, you know, I’m kind of waiting for Mom to go, in a quiet time, ‘Oh my god, what’s happening?’ ”

    Jenner’s mother, Esther, has said that she would come around eventually. “I’ve called [Caitlyn] Bruce since the day he was born. It’s going to take some time, but I will adjust.”

  • Jazz Jennings Is the Teen Caitlyn Jenner, And Her Show Is Reaching People

    Jazz Jennings is to teens what Caitlyn Jenner is to adults. The transgender teen sensation and the former Olympic decathlon are both raising awareness of how transgender folks are perceived and treated in today’s society.

    While Caitlyn Jenner has her I Am Cait show on E!, Jazz Jennings has I Am Jazz on TLC. Jazz Jennings stars in the 11-episode docuseries that shows how she deals with friends, dating and family.

    Fourteen-year-old Jazz Jennings was designated male at birth but was diagnosed with gender dysphoria at age five. Her transition has been in the public eye since 2007 and her book I Am Jazz has put her experiences growing up trans out to millions of readers.

    The new show is giving Jazz the opportunity to let even more people know the difficult time transgender folks have.

    “Being transgender has completely turned boys off from liking me,” Jennings says. “This one time this really cute boy liked me, and then once he found out I was transgender he started calling me ‘chick with a d—‘ behind my back.”

    Jazz Jennings also addresses the common objection by some who are uncomfortable with gender identity issues that being trans is a choice.

    “People think this was a choice, that one day I woke up and was like, ‘I’m a girl,’ but no – it’s just the way I was born. I’ve always been a girl.”

    “Everyone always thinks it’s about the surgery, what’s between your legs, but … this is about what’s between your ears – and being transgender is the process of learning to love yourself and accept your difference. People have to understand that it’s not just a medical journey.”

    “At age 2, I knew I was a girl, and I really just kept pushing that thought forward to my parents.”

    The parallel’s between herself and Caitlyn Jenner is not lost on Jazz Jennings. She looks up to the older woman as inspiration.

    “She’s just so brave and courageous to come out with the public eye looking upon her,” Jennings says of Jenner. “I think people are starting to open up their minds when it comes to accepting us for who we are, so I’m just so proud of her for being such a role model.”

  • Candis Cayne & Caitlyn Jenner: The New Transgender ‘It’ Couple?

    Transgender celebrity and reality star Caitlyn Jenner has been rumored to be dating Candis Cayne, a transgender performer.

    The two were seen together several times and Cayne even appeared in the latest TV ad for the former Olympian’s new reality show on E!, called I Am Cait.

    Nevertheless, people close to 65-year-old Jenner have asserted that the two were no more than friends.

    However, a source from the reality TV show has revealed that Jenner and Cayne will share an intimate moment on the show.

    The pair looked very romantic, according to the insider, and added that viewers might see Jenner and Cayne’s kiss as “tender and emotionally uplifting.”

    The source further informed Mirror that Jenner was so love-struck with Cayne that the reality star was insistent on including her in the show.

    It wouldn’t be a surprise if Cayne becomes a regular on I Am Cait, the insider also added.

    Cayne, who supported Jenner in receiving the Arthur Ashe Award for Courage during the ESPY Awards this year, was also spotted painting “the town red” with the reality star last weekend.

    The pair was first seen having dinner at Nobu, a Malibu hotspot last Friday.

    Then, Jenner and Cayne were reported to have partied at The Abbey, a known gay bar in West Hollywood last Saturday.

    Though Jenner came with her boydguard and other friends, the reality star remained close with Cayne throughout their stay at the bar.

    Other patrons at the bar were excited to see the stunning reality star, who was very hard to miss.

    Jenner arrived at The Abbey wearing an eye-catching “black leather wrap dress” and completed her look with a nameplate necklace, gold bracelet, black cardigan and heels.

  • Candis Cayne, Caitlyn Jenner Enjoy Emotional Connection

    Candis Cayne is Caitlyn Jenner’s new BFF. And while some folks think there is more going on between the two, it seems they’re strictly very close girlfriends.

    Appearing at the ESPY Awards in support of Caitlyn Jenner, there was no PDA. A source tells HollywoodLife, however, that the emotional connection is palpable.

    “You could see they had a very emotional connection with each other,” the source said. “It felt like they were twins. They were finishing each other’s sentences and talking about the same things at the same time. It was very interesting. Candis is definitely on I Am Cait and will be featured quite a bit throughout the season.”

    Candis Cayne was born Brendan McDaniel, along with a twin brother. She knew from a very young age that she and her brother differed greatly.

    “Ever since we were babies, we were completely opposite. He did football, basketball and soccer. He was into music like guitar. He was definitely a jock, and I was taking dance class,” Cayne said in a recent interview with People magazine.

    Candis Cayne was the first transgender actress to portray a trans character on primetime TV in the U.S. In 2007 she played the role of a transgender woman who had an affair with a character played by William Baldwin on the ABC series Dirty Sexy Money.

    Caitlyn Jenner serves as an example for young transgender males and females in today’s society. Candis Cayne served as an example of transgender actors gracing TV screens. It’s no wonder the two have a strong bond and an emotional connection.

    Are you looking forward to seeing both Candis Cayne and Caitlyn Jenner on the upcoming E! docuseries, I Am Cait?

    How wonderful that Caitlyn has a friend like Candis Cayne to help her acclimate to her new life.

  • Vicki Gunvalson Slams Engagement Rumors, Names Wrong Source

    Vicki Gunvalson and Brooks Ayers are not engaged. Vicki Gunvalson wants you to know that, and she seems pretty upset that anyone would suggest such a thing.

    Real Housewives of Orange County star Vicki Gunvalson took to her Facebook page today, and broadcast that message via Twitter, to let everyone know that those outlets who tell you such “blatant lies” are wrong.

    “Contrary to this morning’s media reports I am NOT engaged nor planning to get married at this time. Brooks’ cancer diagnosis has nothing to do with the status of our relationship. It saddens me that media outlets like The Inquistr will publish such blatant lies to attract more visitors to their website. I have always been very honest and forth coming on the show, and with my fans ,and if something this important were true you would be the first to know.”

    Gunvalson specifically named The Inquisitr in her post. She also tweeted her ire at the outlet.

    But it looks like she is mad at the wrong source. The article she appears to be referring to specifically was titled:

    Briana Culberson Is Seeing Red: Could Vicki Gunvalson Get Married To Brooks Ayers?

    But within that article, it is made very clear that the source of the rumor is actually Radar Online.

    “According to a new Radar Online report, Briana Culberson is not thrilled with the idea of her mother possibly getting married again, especially not to a man who she really doesn’t like.”

    The article referenced past Inquisitr reports about Gunvalson’s relationship with Ayers, saying:

    “According to the Inquisitr, the relationship is supposedly better than ever, as the cancer has brought them closer. But maybe there is still a long way to the altar. Maybe Briana Culberson can relax a little because he doesn’t seem too eager to marry Vicki.”

    It was Radar Online that claimed to have an “insider” feeding them info on Gunvalson and Ayers.

    “Vicki has been talking marriage with Brooks, and wants to make it official,” an insider told Radar. “She truly believes that Brooks is meant to be her partner for the rest of their lives. Her kids are grown and have lives of their own, and she is head over heels in love with Brooks.”

    “However, Brooks isn’t ready to take the next step because of his cancer diagnosis,” the insider revealed. “He wants to be given the all clear from his doctors before marrying Vicki. He is ready to make his life in Orange County with Vicki permanent, but won’t do so until the cancer is gone or in remission.”

    The mix-up is somewhat understandable. Gunvalson may have been told by someone that they had read about the supposed engagement in Inquisitr. But there is a huge industry around reporting “news about rumors.” Some find this distasteful, but there is a very large audience for it. Many of those readers may well be the same people Vicki Gunvalson and the Real Housewives franchise counts on to keep their enterprises afloat.

    While many rumors turn out to be nothing, one of the largest news stories so far this year incubated and smoldered in the world of “news about rumor.” There were many reports that Bruce Jenner was planning to announce his life as a transgender woman. There was talk of reality TV shows starring Jenner. These reports were denied, decried, and derided.

    But Caitlyn Jenner is now everyday headlines, including her I Am Cait reality show.

    Maybe Gunvalson isn’t all that angry at Inquisitr or Radar Online. After all, they keep her in the public eye, and her show in conversations.

    Contrary to this morning's media reports I am NOT engaged nor planning to get married at this time. Brooks' cancer…

  • Hailey Baldwin Joins Fellow Model Kendall Jenner For Lunch Date With Caitlyn Jenner

    Hailey Baldwin joined fellow model Kendall Jenner for a casual lunch date with Caitlyn Jenner over the weekend.

    The threesome were spotted lunching at Sugarfish, a popular restaurant in Beverly Hills.

    Caitlyn Jenner, 65, was looking gorgeous wearing a fitted black shirt with a white and black pencil skirt and heels.

    Caitlyn’s daughter, Kendall, who just got back from being Karl Lagerfeld wedding muse for the Chanel Haute Couture show at Paris Fashion Week, looked equally stunning in a tiny crop top and simple black leggings.

    As for Hailey Baldwin, she looked cute in a white cropped top paired with black Nike workout pants.

    The majority of the Jenners are currently filming the reality show, I am Cait, which premieres July 26. Kendall Jenner has been very supportive of her father’s transition from male to female, posting a special message to him via Instagram on Father’s Day.

    “My whole life this soul was my daddy and just because your appearance is different now doesn’t mean you were any less of a father to me my entire life,” Kendall wrote. “happy Father’s Day to the person who raised me, and taught me everything I know, my hero.”

    On Sunday, Hailey Baldwin, the daughter of Stephen Baldwin, posted an adorable pic on Instagram of herself wearing the most adorable floral shirt and shorts ensemble, paired with white sneakers. She captioned the photo with “Sundays.”

  • Caitlyn Jenner Does Lunch With Kendall Jenner, Hailey Baldwin

    Caitlyn Jenner had lunch with the girls on Saturday in L.A. She joined daughter Kendall Jenner and her friend Hailey Baldwin for sushi.

    People magazine reports that Caitlyn continued to flaunt her flair for fashion during her lunch date. She was decked out in a black and white striped skirt with a black wrap top.

    Since Caitlyn Jenner made her debut on the cover of Vogue magazine, she has been highly revered in the LBGT world for sharing her story. That story hasn’t been an easy one for her children–especially Kendall and Kylie Jenner–to understand. Lunch on Saturday with Kendall shows they’re both willing to work at maintaining their relationship despite any changes that have taken place.

    Something both Kendall and Caitlyn Jenner have to prepare for is the premiere of Caitlyn’s docu-series. I Am Cait will debut on E! on July 26. The public outcry some will have against the show could certainly prove difficult for both Kylie and Kendall Jenner.

    Even though it hasn’t been easy for anyone involved, Kendall has been supportive of Caitlyn Jenner. She shared a very sweet Father’s Day message via Instagram in June.

    “my whole life this soul was my daddy and just because your appearance is different now doesn’t mean you were any less of a father to me my entire life. happy Father’s Day to the person who raised me, and taught me everything I know, my hero,” she captioned a photo of dad Bruce Jenner with her when she was just a little girl.

    It’s wonderful that Caitlyn Jenner still puts her children ahead of all else. And kudos to Kendall Jenner, too, for working to accept her father’s transition.

    It’s proof positive that love is the most important thing.

  • Candis Cayne, Caitlyn Jenner, Geena Rocero Continue Celebrating NYC Pride

    Candis Cayne, one of Caitlyn Jenner’s closest friends, continued celebrating New York City Pride this weekend, along with the I Am Cait star and another good friend, Geena Rocero. The three ladies enjoyed dinner after Jenner made a surprise appearance during Candis Cayne’s performance at Dream Downtown on Sunday.

    Caitlyn Jenner looked gorgeous in her tight black dress. She carried a small clutch for the evening get together. Jenner was all smiles as she posed for pictures with Geena Rocero, Candis Cayne, and others.

    Rocero took to Instagram to share a photo in celebration of trans ladies.

    “Amazing dinner with fabulous Caitlyn Jenner, Candis Cayne and many power Trans Ladies! #TransPinay #genderproud #girlslikeus #transisbeautiful,” she captioned the shot.

    A photo posted by geenarocero (@geenarocero) on

    Caitlyn Jenner shared an Instagram shot on her page of an even larger group celebrating, which she captioned, “Such a fun dinner in NYC w/ this powerful group of trans women. They are all so beautiful. @GeenaRocero @candiscayne.”

    Candis Cayne and Geena Rocero were both on hand as Caitlyn Jenner made her New York City Pride Parade debut, which was deemed a huge success.

    “Everyone started chanting, ‘Caitlyn, Caitlyn.’ She got up and waved and smiled at everyone.” Caitlyn was also photographed dancing and having the time of her life,” a source told E!

    “Caitlyn was super open and having a really good time. She interacted with the crowd and really seemed to be enjoying herself,” the source added.

    Kudos to Candis Cayne and Geena Rocero for supporting Caitlyn Jenner–and to Caitlyn for supporting them and the entire NYC Pride Parade.

    Jenner and her friends are setting examples for families, friends, and the general public–assuring them that despite one’s gender, it’s love that matters most. May they continue to win even more hearts and minds as they share their struggles–and their celebrations, too.

  • Cheryl Burke Wants Caitlyn Jenner To Judge Miss USA Pageant

    Cheryl Burke is hoping to have Caitlyn Jenner on the judging panel for this year’s Miss USA pageant.

    Caitlyn Jenner has turned the world on its ear since completing her transition from male to female last month, and Cheryl Burke thinks Caitlyn’s courage would be useful on the judging panel.

    Cheryl Burke said, “I think Caitlyn Jenner would be an amazing judge. I think she’s so empowering. A lot of people look up to her.”

    Caitlyn Jenner was invited to judge, but no word yet on whether she will do it or not.

    Cheryl Burke has a personal connection with Caitlyn’s struggle.

    She said, “Because I have been bullied and attacked about my body, body image has always been an issue for me.”

    She added, “You don’t have to be a size zero to be beautiful. You have to embrace your body, whether it’s curvy or whatever you may be. You have to embrace who you are. Beauty comes from the inside not out.”

    Cheryl Burke also mentioned the possibility that Caitlyn Jenner could be a future contestant on Dancing with the Stars.

    Cheryl Burke said, “I think Caitlyn would be amazing on DWTS. The whole family has basically done it. I danced with Rob. Kim did it a few seasons ago. Caitlyn and Tony Dovolani would look great together, or actually Caitlyn and Val [Chmerkovskiy].”

    Great day yesterday for Father's Day. We had so much fun off-roading. So much love and support! Love my family!

    In one clip, Caitlyn Jenner asked, “Why did I decide to do a series?”

    She answered, saying, “I am telling my story…This is about getting to be who you really are. It’s going to be quite a journey, we’re going to do some good.

    Will you be watching I Am Cait? Do you agree with Cheryl Burke that Caitlyn Jenner should be a judge for the Miss USA pageant?

  • Caitlyn Jenner Dons Knee-High Boots for Filming of Docuseries, ‘I Am Cait’

    Caitlyn Jenner–formerly known as Bruce Jenner, prior to transitioning to a woman–was spotted wearing sexy knee-high black leather boots in Hollywood, on the set of her upcoming E! docuseries, I Am Cait.

    Also wearing skinny jeans and a pretty red manicure, Jenner dodged raindrops with a large umbrella.

    While in L.A., Caitlyn Jenner also stopped by the Los Angeles LGBT Youth Center to visit with some of the young people there.

    Life has certainly been a whirlwind of activity for Caitlyn since appearing on the cover of Vanity Fair magazine earlier in June, as a woman for the first time. Shortly thereafter Caitlyn Jenner and a group of transgender girlfriends went on a road trip to Northern California. The group stopped in San Francisco at the Human Rights Campaign–the largest civil rights organization working on behalf of LGBT equality.

    Caitlyn Jenner tweeted about her visit there.

    Jenner hopes to empower LGBT people through her upcoming docuseries.

    “So many people go through life and they’ve never had to deal with their own issues–no matter what those issues are,” Caitlyn Jenner says in a look at an episode of I Am Cait. “Ours happen to be about gender identity, but how many people go through life and waste an entire life because they never deal with themselves? To be who they are?”

    A production source says Caitlyn Jenner is currently appreciating many small freedoms never available to her before.

    “The freedom to wear female clothes, to go for a coffee again and not have to hide,” the source said. “Just simple things that most people never think twice about.”

    There are no doubt many people excited to learn that production of I Am Cait is presently underway–and for reasons far deeper than getting to see Caitlyn Jenner wear sexy boots.

    Caitlyn Jenner did something big when he became a she in the public eye–and there are likely bigger things to come.

    Don’t think so?

    Ask any man or woman you know who is living in the wrong body.
