Kylie Jenner I Can't Get Enough of Me!!!
Kylie Jenner took daughter Stormi to a newsstand Friday ... presumably to give her little girl a lesson in celebrity news.
Kylie was on a mission ... to buy every last mag with her mug on the cover ... and she did just that with GQ and Forbes.
As you know, Forbes labeled the cosmetics mogul "self-made" ... which triggered an intense debate.
Kylie's closing in on a billion ... not bad for someone who still isn't old enough to legally drink.

Jeff Ross Prepping Kendall Jenner Jokes ... For Blake Griffin Roast
Nothing's off limits when Jeff Ross goes head-to-head with Blake Griffin in a Roast Battle on Saturday ... including his former relationship with Kendall Jenner.

"He gets injured easily," Ross said about the NBA star ... "Maybe it'll be an emotional injury this time."
Ross won't have a hard time finding material -- but, our photog gave him a head start.
Of course, Griffin's no amateur -- he's been doing stand-up comedy for a while and Ross thinks he's a genuinely funny guy.
DECEMBER 2017

Kim Kardashian's Co. Sued Over New Perfume Logo ... Eau de Rip-Off??
-
EXCLUSIVE
- 15 shares
One of Kim Kardashian West's new perfumes -- the ones that put $5 mil in her pocket in just 5 minutes -- uses a logo that belongs to a different company ... at least according to a new lawsuit.
The company, Vibes Media, says KKW Fragrance jacked its speech bubble-like logo for a new Kimoji perfume, which was released on Tuesday. There are 3 different fragrances in the Kimoji line -- Vibes, Peachy and Cherry.
Vibes Media's beef is only with the Vibes line because according to the suit, its bottle is shaped just like the logo they have hanging in their office -- and the perfume bottle itself is shaped like the logo.
The Chicago-based marketing company says KKW doesn't have permission to use its trademarked logo. Vibes Media wants all of Kim's hot-selling perfume to be destroyed, and it wants damages.

Kim Kardashian West Makes a Million a Minute ... On New Fragrance Line
Kim Kardashian West understands the power of a sequel -- just like a popular movie ... a follow-up to her massively successful fragrance line just made a killing too.
Kim released her newest set of perfumes Tuesday, which consists of 3 fragrances -- Kimoji Cherry, Kimoji Peach and Kimoji Vibes. Without spending a cent on advertising, her new products made a whopping $5 MILLION ... in 5 minutes!
The new KKW bottles go for 45 bucks each, and only social media marketing was used to get the word out for the release. Clearly, it worked wonders.
Kim also sent some candy grams to her celeb friends and her sisters ... with a complimentary fragrance inside.
We're told the amount of bottles available for launch this time around was increased due to the high demand, but just like multi-million dollar launch of her first line ... it's expected to sell out quickly.
As for the 5-minute bonanza ... Kim's been here before. Her cosmetics line hauled in $14 mil at its launch last year, so this could actually be considered just another day in the office ... if you're a Kardashian.

Khloe Kardashian's Trainer Her 'True' Inspiration to Losing 33 LBS? ... Baby, Lemme Tell You!!!
Khloe Kardashian's secret to dropping tons of lbs since giving birth includes resistance bands, BOSU balls, a healthy diet and ... TRUE THOMPSON!!!
We spoke to Khloe's trainer, Don Brooks -- aka Don-A-Matrix -- who tells TMZ ... Khloe's success to sweating away 33 pounds has everything to do with True's mere presence near the end of her workouts when she needs an extra boost. Seriously.
Can't knock the scheme when it's obviously working wonders on Khloe. Sure, Don's innovative workouts coupled with two-a-days have done their magic ... but it's crystal clear Khloe draws tons of inspiration from her cute, 3-month-old daughter.
Check it out ... sounds like Khloe's literally working her butt off to inspire MILFs all over the world. But we gotta ask ... how's Don -- who, btw, sometimes trains Tristan and Khloe together -- gonna use True after she's all grown up? She's growing up FAST.

Kim & Kanye Attend North's Fashion Show ... Saint Gets Emotional
Kim Kardashian and Kanye West paid a little extra attention to North on Friday ... but Saint made it clear he was not to be forgotten.
The proud parents went to their 5-year-old daughter's fashion show at a design camp she's been attending with a friend, where the kids get to design their own dresses and clothing. We're told Friday was the big show for the kids to reveal their designs to their moms and dads.
As you can see ... North's is stylin'!
Our sources say Kourtney also came to the show with her kids Mason and Penelope ... we're told Kim and Kanye took the whole crew out to eat at Carasoul after to celebrate.
It's unclear what caused Saint's display of emotion as the family was leaving the show ... but we're going to guess it must have been the beauty of his big sister's design.
Yeah, that has to be it.

'RHBH' Star Taylor Armstrong Kylie is a 'Self-Made' Billionaire ... With Some Help, Of Course
Kylie Jenner might have had help becoming America's youngest self-made billionaire, but she still deserves a lot of the credit ... so says Taylor Armstrong.
We got the former 'Real Housewives of Beverly Hills' star leaving Craig's in WeHo Wednesday, where we asked what a lot of people were asking after Forbes threw Kylie on their cover and called her a "self-made" billionaire. Is she actually self-made?
Self-made means having succeeded in life unaided.
@Dictionarycom
Used in a sentence: Forbes says that Kylie Jenner is a self-made woman. https://t.co/sr8Ncd7s5A https://t.co/ehEL7Cf6KV
Dictionary.com got in on the ribbing too -- posting Kylie's cover and the definition of self-made ... having succeeded in life unaided. Many have argued that Kylie had nothing but aid in building out her makeup empire -- ya know, 'cause her family is filthy rich and famous.
Taylor doesn't see it that way though. She says someone can still be self-made with a little assistance ... it all just depends on what you do with it.
Kylie definitely did that and then some ... amassing a $900 million fortune over 3 years. Plus, she's a great hands-on-mom to Stormi in between all that ladder climbing. Well done.

Kylie Jenner Record-Setting Billionaire ... Now Forbes Certified
Finally, Kylie Jenner did NOT land a magazine cover for her looks, instead it was her FAT assets as she's set to become America's youngest self-made BILLIONAIRE.
Forbes put the 20-year-old on the cover of its issue ranking the 60 richest self-made women in America. KJ's not quite at billionaire status yet -- she's only got $900 mil -- but, with her cosmetics biz booming, it's just a matter of months.
Kylie's on the verge of becoming the fastest person to a billion -- male or female. Remember, Zuckerberg hit the mark at 23, and by all projections Kylie will do it at 21.
How 20-year-old Kylie Jenner built a $900 million fortune in less than 3 years:https://t.co/PtJG2vfl3k #SelfMadeWomen pic.twitter.com/JLDtlir40k
@Forbes
For the record ... Kylie comes in at #27 on the Forbes list. BTW, her sister Kim is #54, Beyonce is #53 and Oprah is #6.
And because we know you're wondering -- Diane Hendricks, who runs ABC Supply, is #1 with a net worth of almost $5 billion. Kylie's got way more IG followers than her, though.

Kim Kardashian West CA Lawmaker on Her Prison Reform Plea ... Thanks, But We've Got This
Kim Kardashian West isn't alone in her fight to help women in California prison -- the Speaker of the State Assembly is on her side too, but ain't exactly crediting Kim's celebrity for sparking change.
TMZ broke the story, KKW made a visit to a women's prison Saturday ... then made a plea to Gov. Jerry Brown to sign a bill prohibiting male correctional officers from conducting pat down searches on female prisoners.
Before it gets to Gov. Brown, state lawmakers have to vote on it and Speaker of the State Assembly Anthony Rendon made it clear he's supporting the bill ... but definitely not because of Kim.
His press secretary tells TMZ ... "Unlike Donald Trump, the California Legislature doesn’t need awkward photo ops with Kim Kardashian to do what’s right."
It's an obvious pot shot at POTUS for the pic he took with KKW during her visit to the Oval Office to request a pardon for Alice Marie Johnson.
Rendon's office added, "The Speaker looks forward to supporting this legislation again and sending it to the Governor."

Kim Kardashian West says she's still laser-focused on the women she visited in a California prison over the weekend -- so much so, she's imploring the Governor to do his part for them.
Kim called on Gov. Jerry Brown to sign Assembly Bill 2550, which would restrict male prison guards' interactions with female inmates. Kim said, "The women I met at CA Women's Institution are still on my mind and in my heart."
The bill would prohibit male correctional officers from conducting pat down searches on female prisoners, except in emergency situations -- such as posing a risk of immediate harm to herself or others ... or risk of escaping. It would also prevent male guards from entering areas where female prisoners are undressed ... and force them to announce their presence in women's housing units.
The woman I met at CA Women’s Institution are still on my mind and in my heart. I do hope @GovBrown will sign AB2550 to grant #DignityForIncarceratedWomen #cut50
@KimKardashian
TMZ broke the story ... Kim went to the prison in Corona, CA and met with 15 inmates to discuss the facility's conditions and women's plans upon release.
The bill Kim's referring to was drafted by a partisan group of Cali lawmakers. The State Assembly still has to vote on it, before it gets to the Governor's desk.

The Game Kim K for Prez ... She's Got the Numbers!!!
Forget Kanye West running for president, The Game thinks Kim Kardashian West has a real shot at the White House, and it's because she reaches a huge demographic Hillary Clinton does not.
We got Game Sunday night outside Catch in WeHo, and asked him about Kim visiting women in prison to help with their release programs.
Game cut straight to the chase, saying Kim should just run for prez in 2020 because she's got access to millions of 18-year-old, white, female voters who all have something else in common ... thanks to her sister, Kylie.
If there really is strength in numbers, Game makes an interesting point.
Sooo ... Kim/Kylie 2020? Even if they don't run, hard to deny the influence they could have if they seriously endorsed a candidate.

Kim Kardashian Visits Women's Prison ... Talks Release Program with Inmates
Kim Kardashian West met one-on-one with several prisoners to discuss what it's like being locked up ... and their concerns about going back into the real world.
Sources close to the situation tell TMZ ... Kim arrived at the California Institution for Women in Corona Friday afternoon with a few bodyguards and first toured the grounds and living quarters.
Then, she met with 15 women to get a picture of what their day-to-day lives are like behind bars, how they feel about it ... and what their hopes, plans and anxieties are once they are released.
We're told Kim was there for several hours, and her trip is part of her mission to create a program for women to help them adjust to real life once they get out of prison.
As you know ... Kim was vital in the release of imprisoned grandmother Alice Marie Johnson last month, and she's clearly not done advocating for prison reform.
