  • DTC Brands Doing Incredible Numbers on Shopify, Says COO

    DTC Brands Doing Incredible Numbers on Shopify, Says COO

    Direct to consumer brands are doing incredible numbers on Shopify, says Shopify COO Harley Finkelstein. He says that Kylie Jenner has generated almost a billion dollars in sales on the platform and many other influencers such as Kanye West, Drake, and most recently Tom Brady are also doing very well.

    “Even if you go beyond just Kylie, you look at companies like Bombas and Allbirds and Tommy John and Fashion Nova, these are brands that didn’t exist five or ten years ago and they’re absolutely doing incredible numbers on Shopify with no slowing down in mind,” says Finklestein. “Shopify was built to help anyone that has an idea start a great business and sell to a global audience.”

    Harley Finkelstein, COO of Shopify, talks about the incredible numbers DTC brands are doing on Shopify, the huge success of Shopify Capital, and their quick acceptance of cannabis stores in Canada and potentially the rest of the world, in an interview with Jim Cramer on CNBC:

    DTC Brands Doing Incredible Numbers on Shopify

    We’re really happy with how we ended the year and certainly, the quarter was great and we’re really excited about our future. We’ve been at this now for almost 14 years. We’ve grown to 820,000 merchants up from 600,000 merchants a year ago. We have a big top of funnel with brand new entrepreneurs getting started on Shopify for the very first time. We also have some very large brands like the big CPGs and some big direct to consumer (DTC) companies all using Shopify to scale their businesses. We’ve got a really great business model and we’re having a lot of fun.

    It’s amazing. I think the Kylie story ($1 billion in sales) was surprising to a lot of people, not for us because we see so many stories like that all the time. Whether it’s Kanye West launching his Yeezy store on Shopify or Drake’s store or Tom Brady’s new store, we see all of these major brands and huge influencers using Shopify to create authentic products and sell it to the audience. I always sort of think back to if DTC and direct-to-consumer were around when Michael Jordan was creating the Jordan brand with Nike I think Nike would be a supplier and Michael Jordan would be the brand. He would own the entirety of his business as opposed to getting a licensing fee.

    We’re really excited about this. But even if you go beyond just Kylie, you look at companies like Bombas and Allbirds and Tommy John and Fashion Nova, these are brands that didn’t exist five or ten years ago and they’re absolutely doing incredible numbers on Shopify with no slowing down in mind. Shopify was built to help anyone that has an idea start a great business and sell to a global audience. We really do bend the learning curve to make it really easy to get started.

    Shopify Helping Democratize the Entire Business Process

    The ones that succeed, not all of them do, but the ones that do succeed they grow really large with us and over time we want to provide them with more services and more solutions. For example, we launched Shopify Payments a couple of years ago. We went to the payments companies and negotiated rates on their behalf. We launched Shopify Shipping and went to the shipping company and negotiated shipping costs on their behalf. We always are trying to find economies of scale to help democratize the entire business process for these small businesses.

    More recently we realized that a lot of these small businesses also need capital. Because we have so much information on them we’re able to make really quick and very effective underwriting decisions so we were able to go and offer them capital cash advances. We’ve given out hundreds of millions of dollars of cash advances to a lot of these small businesses who if it wasn’t for Shopify would not be able to get this money on their own.

    Entrepreneurs Want to Own Their Audience

    Etsy fundamentally is a marketplace. Etsy is a place where someone who makes a product can go to find an audience. But our feeling is that you know for an entrepreneur they don’t always want to rent the audience. They want to own the audience. They want to have a direct relationship with their customers. They want to own the entire to profit margin. They want to be able to sell and have long-term relations with the people that are buying their products.

    So companies like Etsy do a really good job of curating a bunch of products and renting those customers to those makers. We think the marketplaces are really great but we think ultimately makers and entrepreneurs and merchants want to have a direct relationship with the people buying their products. One of the things that is not well known about Shopify but one way to think about what we do is really this retail operating system. Merchants can start a store with us very easily and they can build a beautiful online store but they can also cross-sell to different marketplaces like eBay or Amazon.

    The idea is that it feeds all feeds back in one centralized back office which is Shopify. That’s where they can run the entirety of their business. Really the idea is let’s become the most important piece of software they use on a daily basis. The first thing they open every morning, the last thing they close every night. So obviously marketplace will play a role there but ultimately merchants want to find customers wherever those customers exist and more and more they want to sell direct to those customers.

    Shopify Facilitating Cannabis Sales in Canada

    The reason we started with Canada was there was clarity in Canada. The Canadian government, the legislature, they were very clear with how they were going to roll out the commercialization and the legalization of cannabis sales on the consumer side. We felt it was really important for us to act quickly and effectively to not only win as much of the Canadian market as we possibly could but also to show the rest of the world as they begin to think about cannabis sales that we are the first phone call that they should be making.

    Whether it’s the province of Ontario or British Columbia or most of the largest licensed producers like Canopy in Canada, Shopify is what’s powering those retail sales. We think that we can do a great job helping other countries and other regions do the same thing.

  • Blac Chyna: Maybe Kris Jenner Doesn’t Hate Her After All

    Blac Chyna caused quite a stir in the Keeping Up With the Kardashians family when she first started dating Rob Kardashian. The ex of Kylie Jenner’s boyfriend Tyga–and mom of Tyga’s child–it was rumored that Kris Jenner didn’t even want Blac Chyna in her home.

    Now it seems that might not be the case after all.

    A family source told Us Weekly earlier this week that Kris Jenner is instead grateful to Blac Chyna.

    “The whole family sees that it’s her who brought Rob back,” the source explained. “Kris is so grateful to Blac Chyna for rehabilitating her son.”

    Rob Kardashian remained secluded for quite some time. He didn’t appear in public with sisters Kim, Kourtney, and Khloe Kardashian–and he put on a significant amount of weight.

    The source says what Blac Chyna has done for Rob is simple. She has paid him the attention he has so desperately needed since his split from Rita Ora back in 2012.

    “His confidence was shattered for so long, so to have this banging girl all over him has given him a new lease on life,” the source said.

    Now, 65-pounds lighter, Rob Kardashian and Blac Chyna are often spotted in public together–and sometimes with Blac Chyna and Tyga’s son, King Cairo.

    That said, it’s plain to see that Kris Jenner likely doesn’t hate Blac Chyna after all–however, that doesn’t in any way mean the Keeping Up With the Kardashians clan is welcoming her with open arms.

    Tyga dumped Blac Chyna in order to free himself so he could date Kylie Jenner.

    There’s still some bad blood there.

    So while it’s likely Blac Chyna won’t eat Easter dinner at the Kardashian-Jenner table, the doors are opening just a crack, and one day she might be allowed to slip through.

    It’s highly unlikely, however, that Blac Chyna and Kylie Jenner will wind up BFFs.

  • Blac Chyna Shares High School Yearbook Photo, Gets Snubbed by Rob Kardashian’s Family

    Blac Chyna Shares High School Yearbook Photo, Gets Snubbed by Rob Kardashian’s Family

    Blac Chyna recently shared her high school year book photo via Instagram. She doesn’t look exactly like today’s version of Rob Kardashian’s girlfriend. In her post, she jokes about her “chubby cheeks.”

    “Girl bye ?? Chubby face ? 17 years old ?,” Blac Chyna captioned the 10-year-old pose.

    A photo posted by www.Lashedbar.co (@blacchyna) on

    While Blac Chyna was front and center on social media in recent days, some place she wasn’t was with Rob Kardashian and his family when they celebrated Rob’s 29th birthday at a St. Patrick’s themed gathering on Saturday.

    Blac Chyna hasn’t been welcomed into the Keeping Up With the Kardashians family the way so many other boyfriends or girlfriends have been embraced. Since Kylie Jenner is dating Tyga, and Tyga is Blac Chyna’s ex–and the father of her child–Kris Jenner and her brood haven’t taken real kindly to Rob dating Blac Chyna.

    Blac Chyna celebrated with Rob Kardashian in his real birthday–Thursday, March 17–instead. The two were spotted grabbing a bite to eat at In-N-Out Burger in Tarzana.

    Do you expect the Jenner-Kardashian gang will ever accept Blac Chyna as one of their own?

  • Blac Chyna Celebrates New Boyfriend Rob Kardashian’s 29th Birthday At Legoland

    Blac Chyna Celebrates New Boyfriend Rob Kardashian’s 29th Birthday At Legoland

    Blac Chyna, is willing to end her feud with the Kardashan-Jenner sisters for Rob Kardashian’s sake, reports claim.

    It seems Rob, who has just celebrated his 29th birthday, and Chyna are going strong. After all the drama between her and Kylie Jenner, the 27-year-old model and entrepreneur wants to leave the past behind and set things right.

    Her relationship with Rob seemed to be the reason why she wants to make amends with his sisters.

    “Blac knows how much Rob loves his family, especially his baby sister Kylie, and for Rob’s birthday, and for his sake, Blac’s ready to have a face-to-face with Kylie,” a source told hollywoodlife.com. “What’s done is done. Blac’s really not trying to have a beef with anyone. It’s pointless,” the source continued.

    However, there are rumors that Rob is pursuing his own reality show with Blac Chyna because the model allegedly does not want to film with her boyfriend’s family, a source told People. Given Chyna’s complicated past with the Kardashian sisters, a reconciliation may not be possible anytime soon. Chyna shares a son with Tyga, Kylie Jenner’s current boyfriend.

    Blac Chyna and Rob Kardashian formally announced their growing relationship in January and have been spotted spending time together ever since. The once reclusive Kardashian looked very happy during a trip to Legoland California on Wednesday, as he celebrated his 29th birthday with Chyna and her 3-year-old son King Cairo.

    “Pre Birthday Turn up,” Rob captioned a photo of him and Blac Chyna at the theme park. The mother of one also shared a cute snapshot of her bonding with her son. She also shared several videos of the trio having fun and a short clip of the birthday boy enjoying his dinner after their tiring but pleasant trip to the theme park.

  • Karrueche Tran Reminds Kylie Jenner To Protect Kendall From Chris Brown

    Actress and model Karrueche Tran recently appeared on Kylie Jenner’s cooking show, Cooking With Kylie, but instead of focusing on the dishes, she had other things in mind.

    According to an insider, Tran, 27, warned Jenner, 18, to watch her sister Kendall and tell her to steer away from R&B star Chris Brown.

    While filming the cooking show episode, Tran reportedly was constantly on Kylie’s ear, telling her to advise Kendall, 18, not to get too close to the hot-headed singer.

    The source said that Tran described Brown as a “dog,” and was only affectionate and loving to her before he got what he wanted. After they became sexually intimate with one another, their relationship went downhill.

    Meanwhile, Brown and Kendall were reportedly spotted hanging out together in Paris during Fashion Week. If rumors are true about the budding love affair, then Tran’s warning is definitely spot on.

    It is easy to understand why Tran is frustrated with her ex-boyfriend. The two had a social media feud on Instagram on Friday, after the “Zero” singer questioned Tran’s talent.

    Brown slammed his ex-girlfriend on the social media site and implied that his relationship with her is one of the reasons she gets movie roles, though her movies go straight to DVD.

    He then wishes her to have “the most successful career ever.”

    Tran responded by posting a link to “Back to Sleep,” which is a recent remixed track by Brown.

    “You’re calling me a b—h yet you’re screaming my name in a song about getting back together?” she posted.

    Tran then said that Brown should just move on with his life and focus on his lovely daughter.

    Karrueche Tran and Chris Brown dated on and off for more than four years, before splitting in March 2015, after reports that the “Loyal” singer has a child with another woman.

  • Ariel Winter Sides With Kim Kardashian, Noting Justin Bieber Wasn’t Bashed For ‘Nude Guitar Photo’

    Modern Family actress Ariel Winter is on the side to #TeamKim after reality star Kim Kardashian West received a social media spanking of posting a couple of nude selfies.

    According to Just Jared, Kardashian posted a throwback naked selfie via Instagram on Monday, March 7. After receiving a slaying on social media with celebrities and critics reacting to the pic on social media, Kardashian posted a second photo on Tuesday.

    “No one was body shaming @justinbieber when he posted his nude guitar photo so why @KimKardashian? #herbodyherchoice #InternationalWomensDay,” Winter, 18, tweeted in Kim’s defense on Tuesday. “I think everyone, men and women, should have the right to choose what they do with their bodies — and not be criticized.”

    The photo Ariel refers to is one obtained and published by TMZ of Beiber in August 2013.

    Other celebrities defending Kim Kardashian besides Ariel Winter include Chrissy Teigen, Kylie Jenner and Kourtney Kardashian.

    Those on the flipside include everyone from Bette Midler — with whom Kardashian had a flat out Twitter war with the funny lady over the photos — to Piers Morgan and Chloe Grace Moretz.

    Winter is very outspoken against body-shamers. The 18-year-old actress bashed critics following her appearance at the 2016 SAG Awards in January, when her breast reduction scars were visible as she walked the red carpet at the time.

    “Guys there is a reason I didn’t make an effort to cover up my scars!” she tweeted after the event. “They are part of me and I’m not ashamed of them at all. :)”

  • Blac Chyna and Rob Kardashian “Not Broken Up,” He Explains Via Instagram

    Blac Chyna and Rob Kardashian didn’t break up, as was reported in recent days.

    The Keeping Up With the Kardashians star took to Instagram to post his explanation.

    “Chy and I are not broken up we just feel like it would be a lot healthier for our relationship if we kept a lot more to ourselves,” he wrote.

    “It’s impossible to have a positive relationship with so much negativity from the media and outsiders and we would appreciate it if everyone respects that,” he added.

    An unnamed source told People magazine on Sunday that Blac Chyna and Rob Kardashian had split.

    “They have had a great few weeks, but things got too serious too fast. They were spending a lot of time together and not giving each other enough space,” the source said.

    Something that may have fueled this speculation is Rob’s removal of photos of Blac Chyna from his social media accounts.

    Blac Chyna, whose real name is Angela Renee White, was once engaged to Tyga, who is Kylie Jenner’s on-again, off-again boyfriend. Blac Chyna and Tyga share a son. The entire Keeping Up With the Kardashians family though Rob had lost his marbles–or was trying to royally piss of Kylie Jenner–when he and Blac Chyna were first spotted together.

    Rob Kardashian reportedly bought a $2.3 million home in Calabasas in February. Do you suppose he will soon move Blac Chyna into it?

  • Blac Chyna: Rob Kardashian Posts Her Photo, Is He Dissing Sister Kylie Jenner?

    Blac Chyna is the subject of a photo Rob Kardashian posted on Thursday. His caption has some wondering if he’s dissing his family–namely sister Kylie Jenner.

    “Love this woman right here so f**k y’all with your negative comments ‼️????,” Rob captioned a photo of Blac Chyna sleeping.

    Blac Chyna is the mother of rapper Tyga’s child. Tyga is in a relationship–albeit rather questionable–with Kylie Jenner. Hence when Blac Chyna took up with Rob Kardashian, things didn’t sit well for Rob–at least where his family is concerned.

    It doesn’t sound like Rob cares about that, however. His caption on this photo of Blac Chyna indicates as much.

    Do you think Rob Kardashian is dating Blac Chyna as a means of getting back at his family? He’s long been the black sheep, with all his sisters front and center in the media spotlight.

  • Kylie Minogue Vs. Kylie Jenner: Which of the Kylies Will Win?

    Kylie Minogue is speaking out against Kylie Jenner’s attempts to trademark her first name. The Keeping Up With the Kardashians star filed an application to do just that in recent days.

    Kylie Minogue has been in the entertainment spotlight far longer than Kylie Jenner. That’s why the “Can’t Get You Out of My Head” singer is opposing Jenner’s trademark application. She shared her end of the battle of the Kylies via Twitter just days ago.

    Billboard reported last week that Kylie Jenner had filed paperwork to trademark her first name. In turn, Kylie Minogue filed “a notice of opposition to the application.”

    Kylie Minogue is represented by KDB of Australia. They argue that if the US Patent and Trademark Office approved Kylie Jenner’s application then it would cause confusion among consumers and hurt the pop singer’s brand.

    Minogue has sold in excess of 65 million albums throughout her career. The recipient of Brit Awards and Grammy Awards, she became the first-ever woman (and first foreigner–she is from Melbourne, Australia) to receive Britain’s Music Industry Trusts’ Award in 2011.

    Kylie Minogue purchased the kylie.com domain name in 1996, the year before Kylie Jenner was born. That likely doesn’t sit well with the Keeping Up With the Kardashians star, as she seems quite used to getting everything she wants.

    In the Kylie Minogue vs. Kylie Jenner battle, which of the Kylies do you think will win? Does Kylie Minogue stand a batter chance because she has been part of the entertainment world much longer, or will money and celeb status win out in this case?

  • Kylie Minogue Says No, Kylie Jenner Can’t Trademark First Name

    Kylie Minogue has been in the entertainment spotlight far longer than Keeping Up With the Kardashians star Kylie Jenner. That’s why the “Can’t Get You Out of My Head” singer is opposing Kylie Jenner’s application to trademark her first name.

    Taking to social media, Kylie Minougue referenced the battle.

    According to a report from Billboard, Kylie Jenner filed for protection of her first name. Last week Kylie Minogue filed “a notice of opposition to the application.”

    KDB is the Australian-based business representing Kylie Minogue. They argue that if the US Patent and Trademark Office approved Kylie Jenner’s application then it would cause confusion among consumers and hurt the pop singer’s brand.

    Kylie Minogue has sold in excess of 65 million albums throughout her decades-long career. The recipient of Brit Awards and Grammy Awards, she became the first-ever woman (and first foreigner–she is from Melbourne, Australia) to receive Britain’s Music Industry Trusts’ Award in 2011.

    Something else that likely irks Kylie Jenner to no end is Kylie Minogue’s ownership of the kylie.com domain. Kylie Minogue purchased the domain name in 1996, a year before Kylie Jenner was born.

    How do you suppose this war of “the Kylies” will end? Do you think Kylie Jenner has the right to copyright her first name?

    It seems quite likely, since Kylie Minogue has been in the entertainment limelight for so much longer than Kylie Jenner, that she will win this battle.

  • Blac Chyna and Rob Kardashian Can Barely Keep Their Hands Off One Another

    Blac Chyna and Rob Kardashian are really packing on the PDA. In fact, some will agree the two can barely keep their hands off one another. They appeared recently in a Snapchat photo that shows Rob smiling as Blac Chyna kisses his face.

    Since he began dating Blac Chyna, Rob Kardashian has really come out of his shell. The two have been spotted a number of places, which is so not like the way the Keeping Up With the Kardashians star has spent his last couple of years.

    Page Six reports Rob is getting ready to move out of sister Khloe Kardashian’s home and into one of his own. It’s uncertain, however, if he will be living with Blac Chyna. Anyone want to wage any bets?

    Blac Chyna caused quite a stir when she first began dating Rob Kardashian. Since sister Kylie Jenner is dating rapper Tyga–and Blac Chyna is his ex and mother of his child–things got awkward in the Kardashian-Jenner abode.

    It’s uncertain if Blac Chyna will ever be completely welcome by Rob’s family. Some wonder if that encourages him to pursue his relationship with her that much more.

    What’s your take on Blac Chyna and Rob Kardashian? Are they in this romance for the right reasons? Or is she doing all she can to make Kylie Jenner uncomfortable while Rob gets some weird pleasure out of pissing off his family?

  • Wendy Williams Not Impressed by Rob Kardashian’s Relationship With Blac Chyna

    Wendy Williams chatted with Us Weekly this week about Rob Kardashian’s relationship with Blac Chyna, and she isn’t impressed. In fact, The Wendy Williams Show host thinks she knows what’s behind the Keeping Up With the Kardashians star’s bizarre choice of of a mate, saying it’s probably “making Kris (Jenner) crazy.”

    “I feel like it’s an equal opportunity use for both of them,” Williams said. “And I think it’s getting back at that woman, Kris, it’s getting back at Kris.”

    Khloe Kardashian apparently feels betrayed since Rob moved out of her home and in with Blac Chyna, calling it a “major blow to the family.”

    Blac Chyna is the ex-girlfriend of Kylie Jenner’s boyfriend Tyga. She is also the mother of his child. Neither she nor Rob Kardashian is making any points with the Jenner-Kardashian family with their new relationship.

    Wendy Williams thinks there’s more to the relationship, too.

    “I also feel as though Blac Chyna and Rob, [production companies] are setting them up for a reality show,” she said. “And as soon as I smell that, I’m laying off conversation.”

    Do you think Wendy Williams has hit the nail on its proverbial head? Is Blac Chyna gunning for a reality TV show starring her and Rob Kardashian?

    Kylie Jenner likely feels incredibly betrayed by her brother, too. How strange that Rob suddenly emerges from seclusion, only to hook up with someone like Blac Chyna.

    Is Wendy Williams also correct in assuming that Kris Jenner is unhappy about the relationship between her son and Blac Chyna?

    How do you suppose his will wind up? Will the relationship dwindle once the hype dies down or are Rob and Blac Chyna in this for something real instead?

  • Nicole Brown Simpson: Kris Jenner Talks About Her Friendship With Her Ahead of “American Crime Story: The People v. O.J. SImpson”

    Nicole Brown Simpson and Kris Jenner were very close friends. Amidst hype over the upcoming American Crime Story: The People v. O.J. Simpson, Jenner spoke with People magazine about some of the very special moments the two girlfriends shared.

    “Nicole was an amazing friend,” Kris Jenner says. “There were some really great precious moments we shared, [ones] that you have when you spend your life with someone.”

    Nicole Brown Simpson even helped Jenner through a very difficult time in her life.

    “Before I got pregnant with Kendall, I had a miscarriage at three months,” Jenner says. “Nicole really got me through that.”

    After healing from the miscarriage, Kris Jenner and Nicole Brown Simpson became workout partners.

    “I had never run before,” Jenner explains. “And Nicole would encourage me. She got me running–and she told, me, ‘I promise you’ll get pregnant [again].’”

    “In the middle of that, she said, ‘I’m going to give you all of my maternity clothes.’ Allen Schwartz made Nicole this entire wardrobe of maternity dresses. She had them in every color. And she gave them all to me,” the Keeping Up With the Kardashians star adds.

    Kris Jenner did get pregnant again–with Kendall Jenner and later with daughter Kylie Jenner–but Nicole Brown Simpson didn’t live to see either of Kris’s pregnancies.

    Kendall Jenner is named Kendall Nicole in memory of Nicole Brown Simpson.

    “One day I’ll hopefully be able to say to God, ‘Why did you take her so young?’ But [until then], it gives me great comfort to say my prayers and talk to her. I loved my friend really hard. And [her death] was a loss for so many,” Kris Jenner says.

    American Crime Story: The People vs. O.J. Simpson will detail the trial in which O.J. Simpson was charged with the murders of both Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend Ron Goldman. It premieres February 2 on FX.

  • Kendall Jenner, Sister Kylie Jenner Turn Spring Clothing Line Fashion Shoot Into Day of Fun

    Kendall Jenner and younger sister Kylie Jenner were supposed to be working on Friday–taking part in a photo shoot that will promote their upcoming spring clothing line. Instead, the Keeping Up With the Kardashians stars spent more time fooling around than they did working, and the result is hilarious.

    Recently admitting they don’t get to spend as much time together as they used to, it seems clear that Kylie and Kendall Jenner took this opportunity designed for work as sister time instead.

    Kylie Jenner shared the results of that fun on her Instagram page.

    “Sissy,” she captioned this shot, referring to Kendall Jenner with the affectionate term.

    This shot of Kylie and Kendall Jenner didn’t come out clearly, making it abundantly clear that the girls were having a blast. Kylie captioned it, “Lol.”

    Kendall Jenner is very busy with her modeling career, and Kylie Jenner is hard at work on a new lipstick line.

    All work and no play can make for very sad sisters.

    Kudos to Kylie and Kendall Jenner for taking time out of their busy work day to enjoy themselves–and each other, too.

  • Kendall Jenner: Why She’s A Bit Jealous of Younger Sister Kylie

    Kendall Jenner is a bit jealous of younger sister Kylie Jenner–and it’s got nothing to do with boys or clothes, or any of the typical things sisters as close in age as these two might squabble over.

    So why is Kendall Jenner jealous of Kylie?

    During a preview of Sunday night’s episode of Keeping Up With the Kardashians, Kendall tells Kylie she’s envious of the time she spends with their dad, Caitlyn Jenner.

    “I miss doing stuff with Dad that like, we used to always do,” Kendall says. “Like the boyish things like dirt biking, and, I don’t know, adventurous things.”

    Kendall Jenner wonders if Caitlyn and Kylie are so close because of the interests they share.

    “I just feel like you guys bond so well because you’re super into makeup and I’m obviously not as into it as you,” Kendall tells Kylie.

    Kylie has a suggestion.

    “Maybe get your nails done together,” pointing toward Kendall’s unpainted nails. “You should just talk to her.”

    “I don’t want to hurt her feelings, so don’t you think it’s better to not say anything?” Kendall asks.

    “No. You should just have a little conversation,” Kylie replies.

    Kendall Jenner claims she is happy that Caitlyn–formerly Bruce Jenner–is happy. She doesn’t want to do anything to indicate otherwise.

    It certainly sounds like there needs to be a conversation between Caitlyn and Kendall Jenner. Caitlyn made it perfectly clear that she is still their dad, and that they can come to her with anything.

    Just because Caitlyn enjoys doing girly things with Kylie doesn’t mean she doesn’t want to spend time with Kendall, too.

    Fans can watch Kendall Jenner admit her jealously to Kylie during Sunday’s episode of Keeping Up With the Kardashians. Tune in on E! at 9 p.m. ET.

  • Molly O’Malia Represented by Gloria Allred in “OK!” Magazine Case That Allegedly Exploited 14-Year-Old

    Molly O’Malia Represented by Gloria Allred in “OK!” Magazine Case That Allegedly Exploited 14-Year-Old

    Molly O’Malia, the 14-year-old aspiring model and singer who OK! magazine claims came between Kylie Jenner and Tyga–possibly even causing their November split–has retained attorney Gloria Allred in a case against the publication.

    OK! allegedly published a poorly-pixilated photo of Molly O’Malia, as well as screen shots of her social media conversations with Tyga. That’s when they blamed O’Malia for coming between the rapper and Kylie Jenner.

    During a press conference in New York City on Monday, Molly O’Malia gave her account of the situation.

    “Even though OK! magazine pixelated my face and did not use my name, a lot of people could tell it was me. As a result of the story and the photo, I received a lot of negative attention, not only from people in my own state but from all over the place. I don’t deserve the negative attention I have been getting as a result of this photo. I would never have allowed OK magazine or any other magazine to use them. I am speaking out today because I don’t want what happened to me to happen to any other young girls,” she said.

    Molly O’Malia continued, telling the press that she and Tyga were in contact via social media only, and that she ended their correspondence when he suggested they meet in person.

    “The truth is that Tyga contacted me first. He direct messaged me on Instagram. I knew who he was but I was surprised that he was contacting me,” she said in a statement. “I thought that it could possibly be about my music, but he did not mention that in his initial communication with me. I thought that was strange, but I was thinking he would bring that up in his next message to me. However, he didn’t mention it in the next message.”

    “I began to feel uncomfortable when he asked me to FaceTime with him,” she continued. “He asked me to FaceTime 3 times, but I did not do it. Because of my discomfort with why he wanted to communicate with me I quickly stopped responding to him. It’s crazy how so much can come out of nothing.”

    Molly O’Malia’s mother, Anne Lowry O’Malia, issued a statement to the media, too, criticizing OK! magazine for “falsely [insinuating] that there was an inappropriate sexually suggestive relationship going on between Tyga and Molly.”

    Tyga is presently on a ski vacation with Kylie Jenner, according to People magazine. His relationship with the Keeping Up With the Kardashians star has long raised eyebrows because Jenner was only 17 when it began. Mom Kris Jenner had no problem with the two pursuing the relationship, however.

    Hopefully Molly O’Malia serves as an excellent example of how carried away social media “relationships” can become. Parents should be well aware of scenarios like this one and closely monitor their teens and their communications online.

    It will be interesting to hear OK! magazine’s response to the allegations Gloria Allred has filed.

    Might this scenario mark the beginning of the end for Kylie Jenner and Tyga now that Molly O’Malia has come forward with her story?

  • Kendall Jenner Says Her First Kiss Happened In The Shower Because Kylie Was “So Nosy”

    Kendall Jenner shared a story on her app recently about the first kiss she ever got from a boy, and she said it had to happen in a bathroom because her sister, Kylie, was so nosy.

    Jenner said the boy was the son of dad Bruce Jenner’s CHiPs co-star, Larry Wilcox, and it was during a game of Truth Or Dare.

    “It happened in a shower. I was with one of my friends from elementary school, Jessica. The kiss was with a kid I had THE biggest crush on — shout out to Chad Wilcox! I crushed on him for so long. I was obsessed. Jessica actually did, too, haha. Kylie was so nosy … We ended up in my bathroom because it was the only room with a lock! Finally, we got to the Truth or Dare kissing. Jessica and I didn’t want to do it in front of each other so Chad and I went in the shower behind the curtain. And that’s how the magic of my first kiss went down!” Kendall said.

    As with any sisters, Kendall and Kylie had their share of fights when they were younger, and they still battle it out from time to time. Kendall got upset on a recent episode of Keeping Up With The Kardashians when Kylie invited her boyfriend along on a family trip, saying that having him there would take Kylie away from spending time with her sis.

    “I hate her so much sometimes. Having him around takes Kylie away from me. Spending time with me isn’t important to her…I actually can’t believe that Kylie is leaving right now. We never get to spend time with each other. She doesn’t have her priorities straight,” Kendall reportedly said.

    Sisterly bickering aside, Kendall is enjoying her successful modeling career, away from her famous family. She recently revealed on Instagram that her first magazine cover of 2016 is for Vogue Brasil.

  • Kendall Jenner Had Fans Believing She Got Naked On Horseback

    Kendall Jenner shared a photo on Instagram recently of a nude woman lying across a horse’s back, and the black-and-white pic garnered quite a bit of attention until everyone realized it wasn’t a self-portrait.

    The photo is actually of model Elisa Meliani, who took to Instagram to clear up the confusion. In the pic, she’s fully nude but covering her breasts with her hands, looking up at the sky as she rests seemingly comfortably across a standing horse.

    “Waouuu…Me and my horse on Kendall IG,” Meliani wrote.

    One can see why fans were confused, as Meliani shares Jenner’s long dark hair and the photo isn’t a closeup of her face. When Kendall neglected to give a photo credit, everyone assumed it was her, especially since her Instagram is mostly made up of selfies and modeling photos.

    Jenner doesn’t need to try and pass off other models’ poses as her own; the Kardashians’ younger sister has built quite a career in the fashion world and can be seen just about everywhere these days, from the runways of high-end designers to the pages of magazines. Recently, she did a shoot for Love Magazine in which she appeared in a partial shark costume and black underwear. She was joined in the publication’s pages by Bella Hadid, who also donned lingerie and animal ears, Mean Girls-style.

    As for how she keeps up her figure for the often harsh world of modeling, Jenner says she does what she’s always done because of how it makes her feel, not because it will help her look better.

    “To be honest, I could probably be lazy and not work out and still look the same – but I’m not like that. I’ve always been really active. I like to work out to feel better about myself,” Kendall Jenner said.

  • Caitlyn Jenner: Kylie Jenner Admits to Liking Caitlyn Over Bruce

    Caitlyn Jenner became the topic of a conversation between Kylie Jenner and Ellen DeGeneres on Ellen’s show that aired Monday. It was during that conversation that Kylie admitted to liking Caitlyn Jenner over Bruce Jenner.

    “I’d like to talk about, if you don’t mind, Caitlyn,” Ellen DeGeneres said to Kylie Jenner. “So your dad, who was Bruce, is now Caitlyn. And that’s got to be a lot for you as a young woman to deal with; the transitioning [of] your dad.”

    Kylie admitted that it wasn’t easy dealing with Bruce’s transition into Caitlyn Jenner. In fact, she claims it was “the only thing I bottled in.” She also said she likes Caitlyn better than Bruce, and that sort of makes sense, too. Bruce Jenner wasn’t who he was meant to be, so he was no doubt uncomfortable and uptight. Caitlyn Jenner is who Bruce was meant to be, resulting in a much happier, easier-to-get-along-with person.

    Kylie told Ellen that she “got through it,” but kept quiet about the transition for quite some time.

    “There’s not a huge secret in the family [anymore],” Kylie shared. “I feel like there was always this big secret, and I’ve honestly known about it for a really long time.”

    “We actually caught him [as Bruce], dressing up as a girl when my sister and I were like, six and seven maybe,” Kylie Jenner added. “So, we’ve known for a while there was something, but it was something we never talked about.”

    Kylie went on to say that she is happy Caitlyn Jenner has been free to live as her “authentic true self” since the transition was completed in July.

    “I think that other girls and boys my age will maybe see that I’m so accepting and be accepting of other people, too,” Kylie said.

    Kudos to Kylie Jenner for opening up to Ellen DeGeneres about Caitlyn Jenner, and to Ellen for making everyone who appears on her show feel loved and very worthwhile.

  • Kylie Jenner: “I Like Caitlyn Better Than Bruce”

    Kylie Jenner is opening up about Caitlyn Jenner, and she says she likes her better than Bruce.

    Kylie Jenner is of course the daughter of Caitlyn Jenner, formerly known as Olympic champion and Kardashian reality star Bruce Jenner. According to her, having Caitlyn instead of Bruce means there’s more to talk about.

    Jenner opened up in an interview with Ellen Degeneres.

    “I like her better than Bruce,” she told Ellen. “We talk about makeup and clothes. We bond a lot more, but not only that. I feel like there’s not a huge secret in the family. I feel like there was always this big secret.”

    Jenner talked about knowing about Caitlyn for a while.

    “And I’ve honestly known about it for a really long time and we actually caught him then dressing up as a girl. When my sister and I were like 6 and 7 maybe. So we’ve known for a while that there was something, but it was never talked about.”

    “She’s really living her authentic true self. And I feel like that’s awesome and also I want to be someone from my generation to like be an example because I think that’s so awesome and I think that other girls and boys my age will maybe see that I’m so accepting and be accepting of other people too,” she continued.

    The episode will air on Monday.

    Speaking of makeup, Kylie is also preparing to unveil a new product – LipKitbyKylie.

  • Kendall And Kylie Jenner Get A Surprise Graduation Bash From Mom

    Kardashian matriarch Kris Jenner hosted a surprised graduation party for her daughters Kylie and Kendall Jenner, as well as Khloe Kardashian on the November 29 episode of Keeping Up With the Kardashians.

    Ryan Seacrest, Alan Thicke, and Kendall Jenner’s best friend Gigi Hadid were also present at the star-studded celebration. Kylie, 18, just graduated from high school this year while Kendall, 20, graduated in 2014.

    Their mom Kris was not aware her 18-year-old daughter would finish high school in a week since she was homeschooled. Upon learning Kylie is about to graduate, the generous mom enlisted the help of her older daughters to plan a surprise graduation bash. Besides Kylie and Kendall Jenner, Kris also honored Khloe, who never had a graduation because she was also homeschooled like her sisters.

    The party, which was held at mom Kris’s house, looked like a real graduation ceremony with the girls wearing their caps and gowns. Seacrest served as the emcee and presented the diplomas to the “graduates.” Afterwards, Kris delivered a short yet sweet and touching commencement speech for her girls.

    The graduation party was a huge success. There were synchronized swimmers in the pool, a sushi bar, and their famous Kardashian photo booth. Proving that they are not your typical high school graduates, Kylie and Kendall Jenner got diamond Cartier bracelets as their graduation gifts.

    However, one person was not invited to Kylie and Kendall Jenner’s special graduation ceremony. Apparently, Kris was not ready to see her former husband after his transition to Caitlyn Jenner and she wanted to make the event very special for Kylie and Kendall Jenner.

    “I’m just trying to process it, not alienate anybody,” Kris explained. “I don’t want to hurt Kendall and Kylie but at the same time I need time to adjust to this whole thing.”
