She should have coordinated travel plans with Scott Baio!
Caitlyn Jenner caught a flight to Washington D.C. this morning in order to get there in time for Donald Trump's inauguration, and the transgender reality star clearly wasn't deterred by the inevitable backlash she'll get for attending the ceremony. "Republicans need help understanding LGBTQ ðŸ³ï¸â€ðŸŒˆ issues and I'm here to help!" she tweeted.
"Caitlyn has been a Republican all her life and she sees this as an opportunity to represent and defend the LGBTQ community within the party. Caitlyn sees this as a chance to bring attention to LGBTQ causes and she is committed to protecting human rights no matter the political party in power. She has no problem speaking out if Republicans fail to protect equal rights," a source dished to People.
Let's hope the I Am Cait star brought her dancing shoes, because rumor has it our incoming POTUS' advisers think he should take her for a spin on the dance floor.
"It’s a brilliant idea. The image of Trump dancing with Caitlyn would send a strong message that he supports gay rights and trans rights. A picture is worth a thousand tweets," a source dished to Page Six.
We're surprised she didn't bring Kanye along for the fun!

This made us cry! We don't want him to go!
Ellen Degeneres paid tribute to President Obama on his last day in the White House with this sweet compilation video of all their time spent together over the years, and she also thanked him for all he's done for the LGBT community.
"This is the last day that Barack Obama will be our President. I want to thank him for changing my life. I am a legally married woman because of him and so is my wife [Portia de Rossi]. His courage and compassion created equality for everyone. He moved us forward and made more happen in the past eight years than I ever dreamed possible. I love him, I love Michelle," she told the audience before rolling the clip.
The POTUS and FLOTUS were regulars on the talk show, sometimes dancing and filming funny sketches when they weren't discussing important social issues.
You have to watch the whole thing, and we challenge you not to grab for the tissues!

Katie Holmes doesn't necessarily have that super-star look when she just out running errands or going to a Thai restaurant, for example. She wears he hair in a mussed-up top knot, throws on a grey sweater and jeans, a light plaid scarf and some black loafers (okay, so they're Gucci). Totally normal, right?!
Katie may be one of the most down-to-earth celebrities we know, but her past is less than simple -- as we also all know. Tom Cruise, Scientology, secret deals, set-ups, hush deals -- well now someone's taken Tom and Katie's story and turned it into a scripted show for E!. The premise is that "a male movie star-slash-key player in a cult-like group offers a far less experienced actress a ton of money to be his wife," as Jezebel describes it. Okay, so the creator of the show, Jonathan Abrahams, says The Arrangement is NOT about the famous former couple, telling Deadline: "The series is not inspired by the rumored circumstances surrounding Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes’ ill-fated union, nor is it a takedown of Scientology.â€
Uh, we wonder what Katie will think of it. You think she'll sit on her comfy sofa, sipping wine, eating TV dinners with Jamie Foxx in her living room while watching her former life played out on the small screen?

Could they look any more unhappy?!
Kim Kardashian has reunited with Kanye West after returning from her work trips in Dubai and NYC yesterday, and the couple grabbed lunch with Kourtney in Calabasas this afternoon while cameras rolled for Keeping Up with the Kardashians. The reality star continued her whole "dressed down" act in jeans, heeled boots, and a red flannel, and while we're getting used to it, we cannot get used to that hideous fake lip ring. Just take it off, already!
The rapper showed little emotion as he made his way into the restaurant, and although he's reportedly getting intensive therapy to deal with his mental issues, he still seems pretty darn depressed.
Perhaps it's because his wife recently declared she will never step foot in France again? Rumor has it the pair are at odds about spending time in Yeezy's favorite city, and it's putting stress on their marriage.
"[Kim Kardashian] has told investigators she will never go back to Paris again because she feels so unsafe in what used to be her favorite city because of the robbery. Kanye [West] is refusing to sell his Paris apartment because he still loves the city and needs to conduct business there for his fashion empire," a source dished to Life & Style.
"[Kim Kardashian] has also told Kanye their children [North, 3, and Saint, 13 months] are never allowed to go to France because she is also afraid of terrorism," the source added.
The Louis Vuitton Don is probably just down in the dumps thinking about no more romantic nights in the City of Love with Kimmy K!

Tuesday night, fashion designer, actress and TV personality, Nicole Richie and star of VH1’s Barley Famous, Sara Foster, attended SVEDKA Vodka’s Broken Resolutions Bash in LA.
The second-annual bash, held at Nightingale Plaza, highlighted the most commonly broken resolutions. Guests sipped on signature SVEDKA Vodka cocktails from the “Drink Less†bar and snacked on “Eat Better†fried desserts, all while enjoying performances by trampoline dances in the “Get Fit†area. Attendees were also able to “Spend Less†at the SVEDKA Tchotchke Shop and confess their most outrageous resolution-breaking stories at the @OverheardLA Confession Booth.
Oh, to be a fly on the wall in that confession booth!

She's got not one but two buns in the oven!
Amal Clooney is pregnant and expecting twins with husband George, In Touch reports. The couple reportedly turned to IVF after they had difficulty conceiving last summer.
The 38-year-old human right's lawyer first sparked pregnancy rumors in a floral dress at a screening of The White Helmets in London on January 9, when fans thought they spotted the beginnings of a baby bump. Those whispers only amplified at the Credit Suisse Women Of Impact dinner in Davos Switzerland on Tuesday, where she was photographed looking fuller in the midsection.
"Amal is pregnant with twins: a boy and a girl. When Amal and George found out it was twins, they were surprised, but also a little scared because they both had said that one was enough. But the news that it was both a girl and a boy made them really happy. They feel like they've hit the family jackpot," a source dished to the mag.
The former self-professed bachelor used to shutter at the thought of marriage and babies, but apparently he's totally changed his tune since meeting the British-Lebanese beauty.
"He's gone from never wanting to be a father to being totally excited about Amal's pregnancy and the thought of raising two children who will call him Dad. He's been doting on Amal's every need and doting on her belly. He's also having a blast coming up with baby names. George is going to be an incredible father. He's been a bachelor for so long that most people don't realize how great he is with kids," the source added.
These are going to be some gorgeous, smart children, that's for sure!
