Caitlyn Jenner has been named one of Glamour magazine's Women of the Year, and the transgender reality star couldn't be more appreciative of the title and at peace with her new identity.
"I am just excited about the future for the first time in a long, long time. And that is a nice feeling to have…. To be honest with you, if the worst thing in the world that happens to you is you are trans, you’ve got it made," she told the mag.
The I Am Cait star is grateful she has been embraced, and welcomes the opportunity to raise awareness for the trans community.
"I started thinking, 'Maybe this is why God put me on earth.' This issue has been swept under the rug for so long. I need to tell this story on the highest level you can possibly do it. Not just for me but for this entire community," she emphasized.
Other honorees include Reese Witherspoon, Misty Copeland, Victoria Beckham, and the US women's soccer team.
Poll

It would appear he's on the mend!
Lamar Odom is reportedly "walking with help" now and his condition is slowly improving, Us Weekly reports. The NBA star still has a long way to go in his recovery, but the situation is a lot less dire than in previous weeks.
"Lamar is getting better every day. He is more coherent and can talk more," a source dished to the mag. "He is getting stronger every day. And has a great team of therapists and specialists working with him. He's 6' 11" and weighs a lot, so getting him to walk a little has been really hard," the source added.
The extent of the former Laker's brain injuries following his dozen strokes is still unclear, and he needs a kidney transplant for his failing organs. Currently, he is undergoing dialysis to combat the problem.
The athlete has had a rough road in the days following his overdose at a Las Vegas brothel, and there's been no shortage of drama with his friends and family. Just last night, his father Joe Odom ranted to a TMZ cameraman about his frustration at being denied visitation rights to see his son, which he blamed on Khloe Kardashian.
"They won't let me come in 10 feet of him. It's Khloe. It's the Kardashians. They didn't put me on the list. I'm mad, I'm upset because this is the second time I came to see my son and they won't let me see my son. It's a lot of sabotage things going on," the 58-year-old fumed.

Even Hollywood stars know to adopt, not shop!
George and Amal have a new lady in their life - an adorable Basset Hound named Millie that they rescued from a shelter after finding her on the website PetFinder. The famous couple headed to the San Gabriel Humane Society to pick her up and make sure she got along with their cocker spaniel Louie, and the whole group even posed for a family photo!
The adorable pooch had been homeless and begging for food outside a local restaurant for over a month before being taken in. "Today her luck changed for the better when she was adopted by George and Amal Clooney. They were searching for a basset hound and saw Millie's picture on Petfinder," reads a message on the rescue website. "Millie found her forever home and the Clooneys have a new best friend. They all left together as one big happy family!†the shelter's social media coordinator told People.

There's definitely some bad blood here!
Taylor Swift's lawyers just filed a countersuit against the Denver radio host who was fired from his job after groping the singer's butt during a meet and greet backstage at the Pepsi Center. David Mueller filed a wrongful termination suit against the songstress when he was let go after the incident, and maintains that although the inappropriate contact took place, it was actually his colleague who was responsible.
"Mueller's newfound claim that he is the 'wrong guy' and, therefore, his termination from KYGO was unjustified, is specious. Ms. Swift knows exactly who committed the assault. It was Mueller," her lawyers wrote in the counterclaim via the AP.
Mueller claims his co-worker approached him backstage and demonstrated how he had grabbed the singer's buttocks while posing for a photo with her, so his termination from country station KYGO two days later was unjust. If T-Swizzle wins the suit, she plans to donate the money to charities "dedicated to protecting women from similar acts of sexual assault and personal disregard."

Obviously!
Paris Hilton is one of the few people who could pull off an evening gown at the airport, and here she is last night at LAX after stepping off a flight from Beijing, China. P tweeted that she was happy to get home to her pets, and it sounds like she's had quite a crazy month. (Seeing as Halloween is coming up, it's likely going to get even crazier...)
Last week the heiress made a stop in Dubai, and after that it was off to Malaysia on October 24 for an appearance at the ACV Music Festival in Kuala Lampur. But the work didn't stop there! The following day Hilton tweeted, "Just finished a business meeting with the owners of @ParksonMalaysia about my fragrance launch at their stores. Such a productive meeting!"

Sounds like she's had enough of babying her little brother!
In a new interview with People magazine, Khloe Kardashian went off on younger bro Rob for his reclusive ways.
“Rob is such a great guy," Khloe told the mag. "He's charming, charismatic, everything. That's what's so infuriating. I'm like, 'Where is your will to live life? Let's be around people!'"
Still, she tries to be somewhat understanding. "I've been working on my patience," she told People. "I've been really trying. But I have my moments and I do snap. I've offered to get a chef, I'm like, 'What's your excuse?' But it's not just that. I can't win life for Rob. I have to wait until [he's] ready to do it for himself. It’s sad, because he’s only wasting his life more and more."
“Lamar was a father figure for Rob,†Khloe continued. “My dad died when he was 16. Bruce was great, but he was going through his own things that none of us understood at the time. Once Lamar left — and it’s not Lamar’s fault at all — I think Rob didn’t know where to go. He was like, ‘I don’t have guidance anymore.’â€
As previously reported, Khloe is still with NBA stud James Harden. “I love Lamar, and I’ll always be there for him like I promised…[the divorce dismissal] does not mean I’m back with Lamar," she clarified. "It’s not even in our brains to think about us having a relationship. Only time will tell. There is a very long road ahead of him, and he has to walk that road by himself. But I’ll be there supporting him every step of the way.â€

Seriously, we NEVER see these two out together, so when we do, it's always a fun surprise!
On Wednesday night Cameron Diaz and husband Benji Madden stepped out in Los Angeles, but according to reports, they'll soon be heading to NYC. Huh?!
According a story on OK! Magazine's website, Cam and Benji are moving to the Big Apple -- and having a kid! “[Cameron] and Benji plan on nesting in New York with their new baby,†a source told the mag, adding that the 43-year-old actress has no movie roles in the works because of the “major life-changing move." The source added, “Cameron’s taking a page out of Katie Holmes’ book and wants to launch her acting career on Broadway."
“She’s turned to IVF,†another insider told the tabloid. “She’s totally committed to making this pregnancy happen.â€

Ok, serious cuteness overload!
North West was one happy camper as she was taken to ballet class by the nanny this morning, and why wouldn't she be? The toddler has a better and more expensive wardrobe than most adults, which she made clear by wearing a baby Balmain blazer with her tutu. Mom Kim Kardashian and the rest of her famous family are notoriously close with the French designer, and little Nori is proof that comes with perks like custom clothes!
Her reality star mom is nearing the end of her pregnancy and only has two months to go, so it won't be long before the 2-year-old has a baby brother! "Not going to lie, I’m a little nervous about bringing baby No. 2 into the mix. But Kanye and I are doing the best we can to prepare North! We read books with her about getting a baby brother and a new sibling all the time! We always say goodnight to baby brother. And right now anything her cousin Penelope does, she does. So it’s really helpful that P has a little baby brother!!!" Kimmy K divulged in a recent blog post on her website.
It's going to be hard for this princess to not be the center of attention!
