From giving her daughter $600 for lost teeth to waxing her unibrow at the age of three, Farrah Abraham seems to have instilled a healthy sense of vanity in her six-year-old daughter Sophia.
Yesterday the Teen Mom OG star shared a snap of her toothless daughter -- and many onlookers noticed that the lil' girl had $600 on her nightstand, presumably from the "Tooth Fairy" for losing her teeth. Many commenters were outraged that the child was being rewarded so heftily for a rite of passage which usually nets a kid about $2.
Today, Abraham is sounding off on how her image has affected her own daughter's insecurities. We have to say the porn star seems blissfully unaware that she's about to create a monster.
“My little Sophia, she's been going through a hard time right now losing all of her teeth, and she's not really so secure,†Abraham told Us Weekly. “I think it's really a struggle losing your teeth right now when everyone's looking at looks. So, she lost her first big tooth, and she's just like, 'Mommy, I want teeth like yours!' and I've had my teeth cosmetically done, so they're looking pretty perfect."
Sophia is six! Six-year-olds lose their teeth! Six-year-olds shouldn't be insecure about not having front teeth -- they should just be eating popsicles and giggling!
We hope that Abraham's looks are the only thing Sophia wants to model herself after -- and not some of her more adult pastimes.
The completely delusional mom also said she'd support her daughter if she wanted to get plastic surgery. The single mom said, “You'll see that my daughter does value how I've done my look and invested in myself, and I feel like if [plastic surgery is] not harming her and making her look better, and keeping her healthy into her older years, I have no issues with that." The adult star added, “I’m going to be supportive because it hurts me to see my daughter worrying about her looks, even while she's losing her teeth right now, so that's sad.â€
Umm it's sad that Abraham has clearly fostered an environment that her daughter is so obsessed with her looks -- just like her mommy!

We guess she couldn't hack the heat!
Kylie Jenner stepped out to grab sushi yesterday in Calabsas, and she wasn't sporting the cornrows that she caught so much flack for the other day. She did, however, wear a frightenly short shirt dress with thigh high boots in an outfit that was remisnicent of Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman. Ya know, the streetwalker!
It's been a difficult couple weeks for the 17-year-old. First, her boyfriend Tyga was accused of sending d*ck pics to transgender actress Mia Isabella, and then the reality star got caught up in a nasty Instagram war with Hunger Games star Amandla Stenberg, who accused her of appropriating black culture by sporting cornrows in a recent pic on social media.
In a strange turn of events, Justin Bieber intervened in the cat fight and stuck up for Kylie by posting a comment on the controversial cornrow picture. "Guys leave her alone, were all trying to figure it out and she happens to be under a microscope! I'm the first to know this. But saying she's being racist because she wants her hair in braids is ridiculous. lets focus on the bigger picture and instead of fighting over something stupid lets do something about equality, but it doesn't start here blasting a 17 year old kid for wearing braids smh," he wrote.
We wonder how Kylie feels about The Biebs referring to her as a kid?!

Miranda Kerr and Snapchat founder Evan Spiegel have been dating for a few months now, but we've never seen them like this! And those flowers? Even if he wasn't a tech billionaire, we have a feeling Miranda would still be pretty smitten with him! Er, right?
And she may be 32 and he just turned 25, but age seems to be just a number for these two! Our photographer on the scene tells X17online, "Miranda and Evan looked so happy and natural together. She really looked like she was with the right guy for her and she was proud to show off her new boyfriend." Awww!
Last week the lovebirds were spotted at Los Angeles International Airport, and in late June the duo were caught making out at a restaurant in Venice, California. "They sat at the bar and were making out. They were really into each other," a source dished to Us Weekly.
Miranda and husband Orlando Bloom split in October 2013, and he's since moved on with Brazilian babe Luisa Morales. Miranda had a brief fling with billionaire James Packer, but he is now dating Mariah Carey. Wonder if this will last? These two look pretty smitten if you ask us!

Ahh to be young and in love!
Paris Jackson and her boyfriend Chester Castellaw couldn't keep their hands off each other during their coffee date in Calabasas on Monday afternoon, and it seems Michael Jackson's only daughter has never been happier! The happy couple sat with their legs intertwined and exchange sweet smooches in between conversation, and it's nice to see her so content after a rough few years.
The 17-year-old has been with her beau since earlier this year, and it looks - and sounds! - like it's getting serious! In fact, Chester is reportedly planning on popping the question to his teenage lady love once he gets her guardian Catherine Jackson's permission! "Chester has been ring shopping for Paris and he is planning on asking her to marry him," a source dished to Radar. "Chester really respects her grandparents Katherine and Joe and wants to keep the relationship going good with them," the source added.
So is Chester likely to convince MJ's parents that Paris is ready to be a bride?
"They are practically living together and he is a really positive influence in her life, so the whole entire family supports their relationship. No one is trying to take her first true love away from her, but her family definitely does not think that she is ready to get married because she is still a teenager," an insider told the outlet.
We'll be on ring watch, because kids in love do crazy things!

She's pulling out all the stops to downplay her growing belly!
Kim Kardashian is doing everything in her power this time around to avoid the body shaming she experienced while pregnant with North, and so the reality star took the attention away from her pregnancy curves by rocking some major cleavage and a fashionable fringe dress to dinner at Craig's on Monday night.
According to the reality star, it won't be too much longer before she's unable to hide her bump! "I'm at the stage now where I wake up with a flat belly but then as I eat and by the end of the day it pops out! This means it's about to pop," she tweeted on Monday. The E! starlet is set to welcome a son sometime around December, but don't count on his name matching his older sister's!
"How many times have you been asked this question. Kim you're pregnant, you've announced it's a boy, are you gonna name it South West?" Shaquille O'Neal asked Kimmy K during her appearance on his podcast yesterday. "I've been asked hundreds of times. And I think it's the stupidest question, no disrepsect to you. Why just add another direction? We're good. North is the best. I don't want to try and duplicate that with like a lower direction, you know?" she told the NBA star.
Knowing how obsessed Kimye is with fashion, we wouldn't be the least surprised if their baby boy is named after a designer. Valentino West, perhaps?

The wait is over! After a leaked version went viral over the weekend, Warner Bros. Pictures has released a three-minute reel for the highly anticipated new film, Suicide Squad. And we can't stop watching it!
The sizzle reel debuted to much fan fare at Comic-Con International in San Diego, Calif., on Saturday -- and after watching this action-packed clip, we get what all the hubbub is about!
Suicide Squad is weaves the tale of imprisoned supervillains who are forced to perform dangerous black ops missions in exchange for their clemency.
The sneak peek shows some intoxicating clips of Margot Robbie dangling inside a cage as Harley Quinn, a jacked Will Smith, who plays Deadshot, having it out with a punching bag, and of course -- a crazyface Jared Leto whose brief bit as the maniacal Joker leaves us creeped out.
The superhero story also stars Viola Davis, Joel Kinnaman, Jai Courtney and Cara Delevingne,
David Ayer's Suicide Squad is slated to rip into theaters on August 5, 2016. Looks like it'll be worth the wait!

We love hearing from her!
Caitlyn Jenner has been releasing weekly writings for her WhoSay blog, and this time she's answering questions from her fans and giving us a peek into her journey thus far.
"Hi again. It's Caitlyn. Wow – what a week. Your outpouring after my note last week was incredible. (In fact, so many of you sent me questions and comments that my site crashed!) Even though I can't get back to each and every one of you, I want you to know that I'm reading your kind words and that they mean the world to me. Here are just a few to get us started," the 65-year-old wrote in the intro.
One commenter asked what was the "tipping point" for the reality star to decide to transition, and she was very honest about her lifelong conflicting feelings.
"I firmly believe that there are intensity levels of being trans. For example, a boy at a young age – 4 or 5 years old – might refuse to wear guy clothes and will only wear dresses. Not as a one-time thing or as just dress-up play, but insistently, every day saying, "I'm a girl." They can't – and won't – hide their true identity, even at that young age. Then there are others, like me, who can (kind of) live with it for a long time, even though it's very uncomfortable. I had all of the issues, but I was growing up in a very different time, and I had no information. Meanwhile, I had all of my diversions – sports ... this ... that ... married ... family – but after 65 years, here I was right back with the same problems that I had when I was 10 years old, and I had to finally do something about that."
Another fan asked what her favorite part about becoming Caitlyn had been thus far.
"Just being able to be myself. Recently I went on a trip with some of my new friends and I had such a wonderful time. I packed for the first time as just Caitlyn – nobody else – which is the first time I've ever done that. I was gone for five days and had such a fantastic experience with all of these girls who have all been through the same thing. We had so many stories to tell. We had so many things that we were all dealing with. It was just truly a liberating experience. I knew then that I could never go back."
Cait concluded her write-up by expressing how well her transition has been received by the public, and how grateful she was for the huge outpouring of support!
"As I mentioned before, it's been both eye-opening and difficult to see firsthand what so many members of the trans community have had to go through just to be themselves. I hope to help raise awareness of these hardships so that it becomes a less painful process going forward. That said, the future looks bright. I knew that my transition would get some response, but I certainly never expected all of this. It's honestly been incredibly positive. I've met so many accepting people, including many through the "Ask Me Anything" section on my site."

Kristen Stewart doesn't specifically state that cheating on longtime love Robert Pattinson with her married Snow White and the Huntsman director Rupert Sanders was the "traumatic" event that changed her life, but it's pretty obvious that's exactly what she's talking about.
The actress covers the new issue of Marie Claire, and not only does she look totally glam and gorgeous in makeup and couture, but she dishes about life in the spotlight and how she's matured. And that cheating scandal? K. Stew sips on a vodka tonic and tells the reporter:
"Speaking very candidly, it was a really traumatic period in my early 20s that kick-started something in me that was a bit more ... feral."
When she was 22, the starlet was photographed getting all hot and bothered with Sanders, and after she ended her romance with Twilight star Robert Pattinson, she eventually started dating girlfriend Alicia Cargile. On reaching peace with her public image, she says:
"I'm really proud that I am able to move forward and not fall into every mental crater. That's a new thing for me. Age has made me smarter and calmer. And it is f*cking awesome."
So what was life like when she was a child star? "Between ages 15 and 20, it was really intense," she says. "I was constantly anxious. I was kind of a control freak. If I didn't know how something was going to turn out, I would make myself ill, or just be locked up or inhibited in a way that was really debilitating."
Other quotables? On famously cutting her hair, she says:
"My hair was such a crutch. I looked quote unquote 'sexy' no matter what. I could hide behind it. As soon as I didn't have all that hair, I had to let my face hang out. I felt more confident than I had in a really long time. And it felt really good. Maybe to most people long hair is prettier. But then what? Is your main goal in life to be desired? That is boring as f*ck."
Though she smokes, K. Stew notes that the best advice she's ever received was from Patti Smith, who "told me to always take care of my teeth and lungs." Hmm, maybe she should listen!
