Kylie Jenner My Body Sells ... Leggings Too!!!
Kylie Jenner's body is like a Times Square billboard .... slap something on it and everyone will notice.
Dead Studios is the latest beneficiary. The company sent Kylie a bunch of free swag, including a pair of their Dead Sports leggings. Brand director Sam Moore tells TMZ, sales went through the roof in a matter of hours after Kylie posted photos showcasing the tights.
Moore says the company made a month's worth of profits in 24 hours. The craziest part, they say they don't have an endorsement deal with Kylie.
Safe to say Kylie will be getting more free swag.

If you ever crash your Skywalker Hoverboard, better hope R. Kelly's there to hook you up with another one, which is exactly what happened to one lucky kid at a Chicago department store.
The 9-year-old was helping his mom shop for a Burberry belt Sunday at the Nordstrom on Michigan Ave when he cruised off, and bit it so hard he broke his wheels in two.
First to the rescue -- R. Kelly, who just happened to be doing some shopping. R. Kellz picked the kid up, and before he even shed a tear, Kelly had his assistant run to his car and grab the singer's personal hoverboard ... which he then handed to the kid.

Note to male purchasers of either costume: Please, please wax or shave.
