Kendall Jenner and her mom Kris Jenner teased a "big announcement" from the model just 48 hours before the stunner announced she was the new face of Proactiv, and fans are outraged that she built up so much hype just to basically tell the world she has bad skin.
"I remember going online and seeing all the horrible things people were saying about me and my skin. I felt so good that I completely forgot that I had bad skin. Then I remember getting a couple of tweets that became a lot of tweets of how proud people were of me," Kenny said in the ad, while referring to her Golden Globes appearance last year.
"If you have acne, there’s a feeling that you’ll never get out of it, but there definitely is an end. And there definitely is a solution for you. For me, I can honestly say that the magic was Proactiv," she added.
To say it didn't go over well would be an understatement!
"People are dealing with real life stuff like coming out and PTSD and sexual assault, and Kendall Jenner made us think that she had some HUGE secret to reveal, only to say that she has pimples?! This family is disgusting," one user wrote. "You can't believe a thing the Kardashians do or say anymore, they've just sold their souls to the devil for money," another added. Yikes!
It wouldn't have been as poorly received if her momager hadn't made it seem like she was going to shock the world with her confession.
"I’m so proud of my darling @KendallJenner for being so brave and vulnerable. Seeing you share your most raw story in order to make a positive impact for so many people and help foster a positive dialogue is a testament to the incredible woman you’ve become. Make sure to watch Kendall’s Twitter on Sunday night to find out what I’m talking about and be prepared to be moved. #bethechange #shareyourstory #changetheconversation #proudmom #finallyasolution #authenticity #mydaughterinspiresme #getready," Kris wrote in an Instagram post.
Her PR must be working overtime to clean up this mess!

Uh oh, is this a bad romance?!
Demi Lovato's boyfriend Henry Levy has been accused of shady business and personal financial transactions in a lawsuit brought forth by his former employee, but he's not taking things lying down, Radar reports.
"The conduct involved stealing money from family, friends, clients, vendors and various third parties, by authorizing and performing fraudulent credit card transactions,†the court documents read. "His intent was to fund a lavish lifestyle on other people’s money,†it added.
Thompson worked as a financial planner for the company from 2014 to 2018, and he claims he received no pay for 2017 and 2018, despite investing $170K of his money into the brand.
"He was subject to anti-Semitic comments about himself and 3rd parties. He was subject to homophobic and xenophobic rants by Mr. Levy. During Mr. Thompson’s employment with ERD, Mr. Levy constantly engaged in illegal drug use and made racially charged remarks concerning employees and other third parties," another part of the documents state.
Not true, says the "Skyscraper" songstress' new man!
Levy filed a motion to obtain Thompson and his girlfriend's bank records, claiming that they were the ones mismanaging and embezzling funds.

Justin just can't stop singing! Apparently it's a way of professing his love for wife Hailey Baldwin and we think it's adorable!
Bieber belted out Marvin Gaye's "Sexual Healing" the other day in front of the Montage Beverly Hills where the couple shares a penthouse residence. Today, after lunch at Il Pastaio, he felt inspired on the way to the car and sang at the top of his lungs in the parking garage on their way to the car! Watch and listen!

Goodness I don’t know! I love her so much and I’m so complete because of her! I could only imagine another one would make me feel even more complete but I just don’t know. I guess only time will tell and whatever God wants for me
Does Khloe Kardashian have babies on the brain in 2019???
The reality star and denim mogul replied to a fan on Twitter when asked if she's considering have another baby, saying: "Goodness I don’t know! I love her so much and I’m so complete because of her! I could only imagine another one would make me feel even more complete but I just don’t know. I guess only time will tell and whatever God wants for me."
Plenty of reports have claimed Khloe and baby daddy Tristan Thompson are trying for baby #2, despite Tristan admitting to cheating on Khloe just days before the birth of their daughter True. Khloe's put forth a serious effort to get their relationship back on track -- basically moving to Cleveland during the basketball season to be with Tristan. The couple rang in the new year together and in what appeared to be a happy evening of celebration, there was one significant diss to Khloe by Tristan ... the "hot mama" tried twerking on her man during a sexy dance sesh ... and Tristan didn't even notice! Ouch!

This kinda funny -- we've gotta give credit to 15-year-old JoJo Siwa for being able to navigate Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills in her new West Coast Custom-ized BMW convertible and conduct an interview with an X17 videographer at the same time!
The Dance Moms star commented on her online "beef" with Justin Bieber -- following Biebs commenting on West Coast Custom's Instagram of JoJo with her new car in which he wrote: "burn it."
Siwa said in a reply to Bieber's subsequent apology that he'd have to perform at her 16th birthday to make up for it. Uhhh ... we doubt it, but wouldn't that be crazy?!
This video of the rapper calling a girl on stage at a 2010 concert, going on to kiss her neck, speak about the shape of her body and talk about how he liked the way her "breasts feel agains [his] chest" has gone viral and people are not too happy with Drizzy.
In the clip, Drake says, "Y’all know I get carried away again, I get in trouble for sh*t." He then asked the young woman her age and she replied that she was 17. He replied: "I can’t go to jail yet, man! 17? Why you look like that? You thick." Uh, thick? Seriously, Drake? Is that an appropriate way to talk about a girl, particularly in front of an audience?!
Drake was 24 at the time, but still ... you won't believe what he said next: "I don’t know if I should feel guilty or not but I had fun. I like the way your breasts feel against my chest." He then kissed her hands, forehead, both her cheeks, then her lips.
This was clearly before the #MeToo movement and apparently a lot of men needed a loud, in-your-face, court-fought message from women that they need to back the F off. Does Drake know that now? And how will he respond to this?

We're not saying anything here, but Justin Bieber and Hailey Baldwin have definitely been spending time apart since they've been back in LA following their vacay in Canada and Hawaii for Christmas and New Year's Eve. In fact ... we don't blame them!
That much time together is challenging for any couple, much less newlyweds and it's totally healthy to take some breathing room following a trip during which you were together 24/7 for two weeks.
Hailey was out running errands yesterday (actually she was doing more than running errands and we've got a gooood exclusive story coming soon ... stay tuned for that!) in a dangerously low-cut blazer with jeans and Chloe high-top sneakers and a somewhat misplaced green beanie. Still, she looks good in anything, but that accessory was a little weird ...
Speaking of weird headgear -- Justin wore a Stetson cowboy hat yesterday but his bottom half looked like LA skateboarder in shorts and Vans, while upstairs was 100% cattle drive!
When Ellen speaks, people listen! But will the Academy?
Ellen DeGeneres invited her pal Kevin Hart on the show and they ended up talking about the Oscars snafu, of course. In case you've forgotten, Hart was fired as host of the show following some old Tweets that were dug up in which he made homophobic comments. Ellen's gay, as we know, and she's one of the most influential people in Hollywood with some major pull ... so if she goes to bat for Hart to be re-invited to host the show after apologizing for the old Tweets, then we think it just might happen.
Hart told Variety just before taping the show that he was "done" with the Oscars but then during the taping, he told Ellen he's "evaluating" the idea. DeGeneres said she made a call to the Academy just before Hart arrived and asked if they'd still have him host: "Kevin’s on, I have no idea if he wants to come back and host, but what are your thoughts?' And they were like, 'Oh my God, we want him to host! We feel like that maybe he misunderstood or it was handled wrong. Maybe we said the wrong thing but we want him to host. Whatever we can do we would be thrilled. And he should host the Oscars."
She went on to say to her audience and to Kevin: "As a gay person, I am sensitive to all of that. You’ve already expressed that it's not being educated on the subject, not realizing how dangerous those words are, not realizing how many kids are killed for being gay or beaten up every day. You have grown, you have apologized, you are apologizing again right now. You’ve done it. Don’t let those people win — host the Oscars."
This is sounding like basically a done deal to us -- it's sounding like a carefully orchestrated PR push to prepare the public for Hart's return. Otherwise, why wouldn't the Academy have found a replacement only two months out?
Meanwhile, some in the LGBT community and otherwise are criticizing Ellen for taking her position. One Twitter comment read, "I feel like if you’re not homophobic anymore, you shouldn’t mind apologizing for your past homophobia again and again and again. I don’t want to hear a hostile retelling of how we didn’t hear your meager apology the first time."
And also: "the people who brought up Kevin Hart's past tweets — like me — were not, as Ellen characterized, "haters." The host of the Oscars had made anti-gay jokes, and LGBT people who love the Oscars were legitimately startled to see just how harsh his words were."
And: "The only thing @KevinHart4real proved by going on Ellen was that he is a terrible actor with zero genuine remorse who didn’t have the decency to address his ignorance. No, they weren’t “haters†who came after you. It was the LGBTQI+ community because we’re sick to sh*t of it."
Okay, you get the idea ... so we wanna hear from YOU! Do YOU think Kevin Hart should (be allowed) to host the Oscars? And is Ellen right for supporting him or not?
Poll
Should Kevin Hart host the Oscars?
Yes! Forgive and move one -- Ellen's right!
No way! Who wants a homophobe leading the show. Screw Ellen!
