Oprah Surprises "Project Runway" Star with Pizza Party to Celebrate Milestone

Kylie Jenner Shares Pics of "Special Gift" Ahead of Milestone Birthday
Kylie Jenner is about to turn 21 years old.
But instead of celebrating the occasion with a glass of champagne, because she’ll be legally permitted to drink tomorrow, the reality star is celebrating in far more low key fashion*:
Via a photo shoot with her precious daughter, Stormi.
(*Okay, this is not entirely true. According to Radar Online, Kylie is actually spending $ 1 million to throw herself a total of five parties over this coming weekend; two at clubs and three at private residences.)
Jenner took to Instagram on Thursday and posted two gorgeous portraits of herself and her first-born.
There’s really no other way to describe these images.
No matter what you think of Jenner, the snapshots are gorgeous.
“bringing in my birthday tonight with my most special gift. What was life before you, Stormi. I love you my little angel,” wrote Jenner as a caption to the first picture, adding simply alongside the second:
“My heart.”
Those who follow Jenner on Instagram (all 112-million plus million of you) were likely surprised by these posts, considering Kylie has been sharing fewer and fewer pictures these days of her child.
The same can be said of Stormi’s dad, Travis Scott, as well.
Insiders have said that the couple is making an effort to shield Stormi from the spotlight, at least over the first few weeks, months and years of her life.
“Kylie felt so protective of her baby when she was pregnant. This is why she didn’t share any bump pictures while she was pregnant,” a source said in June, during the height of Jenner’s hiatus from over-sharing.
In early July, however, Kylie ended this self-imposed baby ban and started sharing fresh looks at Stormi with fans once again.
Explains the same insider cited above, telling People Magazine why there was an influx of Stormi pictures and then a break in between the latest set:
“After Stormi was born, Kylie was the proudest mom. She couldn’t wait to show off Stormi to her fans. She posted pictures because she was so excited to be a mom.
“Unfortunately, social media is a crazy place [and] people have been making nasty comments” about Jenner’s little girl.
If true, that really is inexcusable.
You may have whatever opinions you possess about Jenner and her sisters, but what kind of person hurls shade at an infant?
Thankfully, Kylie does not appear to be letting the trolls get her down.
She’s remained mostly off the gossip grid ever since Stormi was born, content to relax at home and take advantage of this special time with her daughter.
However, if certain reports are true, then Jenner is about to be back in the news in a major way very soon.
After all, we hear Scott is gonna propose to Kylie on her 21st birthday!
EEEK! How exciting!

Audrey Roloff Shares Major Baby Milestone: Watch! Shriek!
Audrey Roloff returned to Instagram just in time.
As previously noted, Roloff took a three-week hiatus from social media last month in order to finish writing a book with husband Jeremy Roloff.
But she shared a new post just a few days after Easter, wishing folks around the Internet a very happy Resurrection Day.
We"re very glad to have Audrey back in our virtual lives because she often shares inspiring messages about faith and family.
Moreover, the timing could not have been better for Roloff to jump back online… considering the milestone just achieved by daughter Ember Jean.
"The face of determination. Moments later she learned to crawl. She is one STRONG girl," wrote Audrey as a caption to the photo above.
Indeed, seven-month old Ember can now now get around on her own, marking one of the more exciting moments of any parent"s life.
Thankfully, Audrey didn"t merely capture this crawling on camera… she captured it on camera and shared the results with her followers.
"While we were gone… Our baby got a little bigger, and hair got a little longer," added Audrey in her return post last week.
She wrote those words not long after announcing that she and Jeremy were set to become actual, official, professional writers.
The past several months have given this Little People, Big World couple plenty to learn from and talk about in their memoir, from discovering they were pregnant… to struggling with parenthood… to watching their girl grow up each and every day.
"Our hope is that [our book will] encourage our generation to prepare for, pursue, and protect their love story," wrote Audrey upon first telling the public about her project.
No release date for it has been announced just yet.
But while we wait to read Audrey and Jeremy to share their words of wisdom, we can at least enjoy the following footage of Ember crawling.

Dennis Rodman Hits Rehab Milestone, Sober for 30 Days
Dennis Rodman’s reached a new milestone — 30 days of sobriety — but he knows it’s a journey … and he still has a long way to go. The Worm posted a message for his fans Saturday … thanking them for the support during his recovery and…

Audrey Roloff: My Daughter Just Achieved THIS Milestone!
You’ll forgive Audrey Roloff if she is over the moon right about now.
You’ll forgive the Little People, Big World star, in fact, if she is over the moon, Mars, Uranus and every other planet in the solar system…
… because her daughter is just so gosh darn cute, precious and getting older by the second.
Roloff has provided fans with another exciting update about Ember Jean, who came into the world this past September after forcing her mother to go way past her due date.
But Ember has clearly been worth the wait.
Audrey and Jeremy Roloff admittedly struggled at first to adjust to first-time parenthood, but they’ve since found a steady groove and have been sharing adorable snapshots of Ember ever since.
The latest is above… and is positively delightful.
Thanks to the caption, it was also educational.
“We worked hard for those chunky arms so we had to put on our strawberry outfit and show em off,” wrote Audrey at the outset of her message, prior to adding:
“I mean… can you even handle the sweetness?! Does this make her edible?!”
Audrey then said how she feels “so blessed to have such a smiley, squishy, talkative, and healthy baby girl,” passed along her love for Ember and concluded with the aforementioned update:
“P.S. she slept her first night in the crib last night – bittersweet mama moment.”
AWWWW!
All parents can likely relate to that feeling.
On one hand, it’s nice to have the child a bit farther away at night in order to help you sleep.
On the other hand, this is the first of what will be many, many signs that Ember is growing up. And quickly!
Just over a week ago, Roloff posted a picture of Ember in celebration of the young girl’s four-month birthday.
She wrote at the time that Ember was “laughing and giggling,” that she was “sitting up in a high chair” and sleeping about “seven hours a night.”
That impressive last benchmark explains why it was time for Ember to go sleep in her own crib, away from Mom and Dad.
(Of course, she’ll always be close to Mom and Dad, in terms of where she stands in relation to their heart.)
“I’m in love I’m in love and I don’t care who knows it!” concluded Roloff at the time.
Earlier in her motherhood, Audrey explained that she was having some difficulty, mostly with breastfeeding, but also with the adjustment in general.
Can anyone blame her?
In the blink of an eye, you are responsible for an entire human being, from dressing her to feeding her to changing her to making sure she feels safe and loved at all times.
It’s really amazing any parent can maintain his or her sanity, when you stop to think about it.
Thankfully, Audrey has a supportive husband and a loving family, even more so now that she and Jacob have ended their alleged feud.
At some point this spring, TLC will air new episodes of Little People, Big World and we can’t wait to tune and watch Audrey and Jeremy and Ember in loving action.

Khloe Kardashian Celebrates Pregnancy Milestone, Can"t Wait to Be "Mom"
Khloe Kardashian is officially the anti-Kylie Jenner.
Whereas the reality star’s half-sister is doing everything she can to avoid the spotlight these days and remain mum about her pregnancy, Khloe is now going in the opposite direction.
She’s embracing every aspect of this whole expecting thing.
On Tuesday afternoon, Kardashian shared a couple of very sweet images on her Instagram account, both in celebration of a big milestone.
The mother-to-be is now six months along, as she confirmed in a very simple caption that accompanied the picture above.
This means she’s headed into her final trimester and will likely give birth in late March or early April. How exciting!!!!!
Khloe, of course, did keep quiet about this major news for awhile.
But she finally let loose about the bun growing in her oven back on December 20, sharing an adorable photo of her baby bump along with a lengthy caption.
“My greatest dream realized! We are having a baby!” gushed Khloe at the time, adding in her extreme excitement:
“I had been waiting and wondering but God had a plan all along. He knew what He was doing.
“I simply had to trust in Him and be patient. I still at times can’t believe that our love created life!”
It certainly is true that Khloe has been open over the years about her desire to procreate.
It didn’t work out with Lamar Odom due to his drug habit, and then she was never serious enough with rebound lovers James Harden or French Montana.
But it’s been clear for awhile now that the romance with Tristan Thompson is legitimate and serious; both seem pretty darn psyched to become parents.
“For six months, you a fine six months, baby. I’ll tell you that,” Tristan told Khloe in a Snapchat video this week, while the latter wrote as a romantic caption to the following photo:
Mom and Dad.
That really does say it all, doesn’t it?
So, why is Khloe being so open about her pregnancy, while Kylie is basically in hiding?
Well…
- She’s very clearly with her baby daddy, while the relationship status between Kylie and Travis Scott is unknown.
- She’s 33, while Kylie is 20.
- Khloe cares about her body, but she hasn’t made a living off sharing sultry images in the way her sibling has, which would explain why Kylie is ashamed over her shape these days.
These are all just guesses, of course.
We can’t say for certain what’s going on with either of these women. We can only post what we see online and hear about from various sources.
Whatever the case may be, we simply wish a healthy pregnancy fo both Khloe and Kylie, along with very happy and healthy babies.

Alaskan Bush People Celebrate Milestone... Without Ami?
Billy Brown turned 65 years old last week.
Such a major birthday is typically a reason to get together with loved ones and enjoy a lavish celebration.
But while many members of Brown’s immediate family did, indeed, gather for the occasion… they weren’t in a very celebratory mood.
For one very obvious and sad reason:
It doesn’t appear as though Amy Brown was part of the contingent.
On Sunday, 15-year old daughter Rain shared a photo of herself and sister Birdie eating ant an oceanside restaurant.
She also wrote the following message as the caption to the self-portrait below:
“Happy birthday to the amazing man that has put up with this mess (and six others) for so many years, I hope your day has been wonderful daddy!
“And I’d like to wish a late birthday to his beautiful wife and my adorable mommy.”
Rain, however, did not include an image of Ami along with this post.
It makes us think Ami wasn’t around to actually celebrate either her birthday or Billy’s birthday with her sons and daughters.
And, tragically, we think we know why.
Ami continues to battle stage four lung cancer, as the Browns have even moved out of Alaska in order to Ami to receive the best treatment possible in the continental United States.
It’s believed they were in southern California for a bit, but have now relocated to Colorado.
This is where Alaskan Bush People Season 8 has reportedly begun filming, although details on the location and on whether or not Ami will be featured remain scarce.
We can confirm, however, that an Alaskan Bush People Christmas special is on the way.
The Discovery Channel has confirmed this exciting piece of programming news.
Rain, meanwhile, has tried to keep Instagram followers abreast of the sad situation.
But it isn’t easy to talk about, of course.
“She is now going though her second round of chemo, sadly I can’t say how she is doing just yet, but we are all hopeful and faithful,” Rain wrote as an update on late October.
All she could really do from there was thank her fans for showing such constant support:
“Thank you all so much for your support and love in this harsh time. Stay strong my rainbows, God bless,” she wrote.
We know that there aren’t any words that can really help the situation right now.
But hopefully Rain and all of the Browns know they are in our thoughts.
Hang in there, Ami.

Farrah Abraham Topless Photo Commemorates Instagram Milestone, Cements Icon Status
Teen Mom OG star Farrah Abraham just reached a million followers on Instagram, and celebrated the only way she knows how:
By posing topless in bed with a “come hither” gaze.
On Sunday, October 22, the redhead took to Instagram to celebrate eclipsing the seven-figure mark on her Instagram fan total.
For some reason Farrah wants more plastic surgery; Abraham’s insane boobs and facial transformation are rather evident here.
She is wearing pasties – heart-shaped ones, totes adorbs – but very little else is left to the imagination in the hypnotic image.
About the only thing missing here is Abraham’s surgically enhanced butt, which remains covered up. Maybe for her next trick?
“1 million,” she captioned the stunning pic, and while she was still in the 999,000s at the time, Farrah since surpassed a mill.
This should help get her to two million real quick …
This post comes just days after a report surfaced that a second Farrah Abraham cam show will be coming your way just before Halloween.
The 26-year-old reality star’s inaugural live porn event with CamSoda was such a huge hit, she’s running it back and then some.
Farrah’s on-again, off-again boyfriend Simon Saran says she plans to “give 110%” for the show, as if she knows any other way.
Go hard or go home, as the old saying goes.
Asked why Farrah continues to do adult films despite the backlash from fellow MTV stars, Simon replied, “Because she likes it.”
“She does what she wants on her free time.”
Hard to argue with that, though her 1,000,000 fans sure have some strong opinions about what she does in her free and work time.
Wrote one disgusted fan on Insta: “Your daughter will be disgusted by you when she gets older and be embarrassed #shame.”
Wrote another: “Ur child is going to have so many issues with a mom like u. Putting this kind of image over the internet of ur self is horrible.”
“U need to teach her to respect herself and u. If I found stuff like this of my mother online. All respect for her is gone.”
Yet another added, “I agree that picture is disgusting, no mothers kids should see that. I personally wouldn’t want her to be the mother of my kids.”
Harsh.
Others came to her defense, at least in part, saying Farrah knows no other way: “DISGUSTING! she is the way she is BECAUSE of her parents!”
“They allowed her to tell them how everything would be instead of instilling in her that healthy fear that every child should have of their parents!”
Some Farrah followers defended her unabashedly: “Do what make u happy and dont regret thats all… if its real then i take u how u are….100%”
“And i always like how strong u are! dont give up!”
Another supporter of hers added, “I’m not understanding how her not wearing a top correlates with her being a bad mother.”
“You’re telling me as a mom none of you have been topless? women (moms especially) need to stop tearing others down.”
This school of thought was echoed by “Just because it’s not something you would do doesn’t mean she’s a bad parent.”
“I don’t think what she does is good [but] her daughter is well loved and taken care of. That’s what matters. Bye judgemental people.”
Said another Farrah defender, “So I don’t understand why people have to judge her life style and not other people who do this?”
It’s an interesting point of debate, for sure. Finally, other admirers reacted to an entirely different aspect of the eye-popping pic.
“Would love to get one night with you,” wrote one drooling commenter who may or may not be named Simon Saran.

Audrey Roloff Celebrates Daughter Milestone, Shares New Photo
Audrey Roloff has one very precious reason to be excited at the moment.
And now the Little People, Big World star is finally starting to let that excitement show.
Audrey and husband Jeremy became first-time parents back on September 10, as they welcomed a girl named Ember Jean into the world.
However, for a couple that has always been very honest and forthcoming with their fans and followers, these Roloffs were surprisingly quiet after Ember was born.
Yes, they posed for photos with Us Weekly.
And, yes, they each made it very clear just how happy and blessed they felt at the time, telling the tabloid:
“We are so thankful for this little life we’ve been blessed with and cannot wait to see all that she becomes.
“Labor is such a wild and miraculous process and meeting our baby girl for the first time filled us with uncontainable joy.”
But then there was near silence from Audrey and Jeremy, which stood in stark contrast to the overflow of information from Zach and Tori Roloff after they became first-time parents in May.
What gave? We eventually found out:
Audrey was suffering from symptonm of post-partum depression.
She shared an Instagram post in which she admitted to extreme pain from breastfeeding and extreme frustration overall from new motherhood.
But the TLC star vowed, of course, to “persist.”
And now we’re pleased to report that Audrey (and, by extension, Ember) may be turning a corner.
Four weeks after giving birth, she shared the first photo above of her daughter and provided Instagram followers with an update on how Ember is doing at just under one month old.
“Our baby girl is 4 weeks old today!!! I feel like we just came home from the hospital yesterday… wow,” wrote Audrey as a caption on Sunday.
She then elaborated as follows:
“[Ember] eats and wiggles by day, and eats and cuddles by night. She likes to pull out our hair, does not like footie pajamas (she kicks her feet right out of the legs), she loves the bath, and she prefers sleeping up right or on our chests.
“She smiles a lot and we swear it’s intentional. Some “firsts” include: first time to the farm, first muel ride, and first public blow out.”
Awww! HA! All parents of newborns can relate to that.
As you can see below, meanwhile, fans were appreciative of the information:
The Roloffs have been speaking out about their tiny little human being a lot more of late.
Jeremy, for instance, is already looking way ahead. And worrying a bit.
Asked by Us Weekly what has him concerned as a first-time father, he said last month:
“Just parenting in the sense of discipline when they start getting older and that just makes me nervous because you can do it really, really right and you can also do it really, really wrong.”
That’s true.
And it’s an understandable concern.
But the most important thing any parent can do with a child is to make him or her feel loved.
And we have no doubt that won’t be a problem when it comes to Audrey and Jeremy Roloff.

Leah Messer: Daughter Ali Passes MAJOR Milestone!
Lately, Leah Messer’s come under fire for not being a child-abuser, which is bizarre but thoroughly typical of how, for a very vocal minority of Teen Mom 2 fans, she just can’t win. Even for doing good things.
Even Leah’s harshest critics should appreciate this, though — as she proudly announced her daughter Ali Simms passing a huge milestone!
It’s a big deal, especially since Ali’s muscular dystrophy can make even simple activities strenuous or even impossible.
Ali Simms has a rare form of muscular dystrophy.
While different cases and forms of MD can progress at different rates, but involves the breakdown of skeletal muscles over time.
Skeletal muscles are throughout the body and are basically how people do things like walking. Most of them are attached to the bones with tendons.
As painful as this is to imagine, children with muscular dystrophy can experience the effects of this breakdown at an early age.
It can be directly inherited from a parent or caused by an early mutation (Ali’s twin, Aleeah, does not yet appear to have MD).
Ali has struggled with certain activities, complaining that some physical motions and activities are “too hard.”
Many children with muscular dystrophy face the looming reality that they will lose their ability to walk.
That doesn’t mean that Ali is incapable of activities, however — for fun but also for therapeutic purposes.
Leah Messer shared with pride that her daughter Ali had learned to ride a bike.
Leah took to Snapchat to share the news.
Leah’s so proud!
Ali and Aleeah are both part of a local softball team, which is adorable.
We hope that Ali will be able to continue to play for a good, long time.
We know that Ali quit tumbling (kids’ gymnastics) because the strain was too much, but maybe softball will be easier on her.
Bills for physical therapy and specialized equipment for a child with muscular dystrophy can get steep over time.
It’s a great thing that Leah Messer has that Teen Mom money so that she can support all of her children.
What might be even better is that Leah Messer has seemed to be thriving as a single mother for the past year, which has been such a welcome sight.
Now, we’re not going to pretend that Leah’s perfect these days.
She might not be nodding off while holding her kids or getting them carted away because she can’t keep her schedule straight enough to get them to school, which is great.
Because that was the situation when her twins were younger.
But Leah recently shared a quote on Instagram that suggested that, were she married, she would put her husband before her kids.
That is literally never an appropriate statement to make or belief to follow.
You did not bring your husband in this world, so he cannot be a higher priority than your children.
Once you cause a person to exist, you owe them — they’re your primary responsibility.
Period.
Hopefully the backlash will really make it sink in that her children should be her first priority, no matter what.
But that was … alarming.
Especially considering how far she’s come.
Growing up on camera isn’t easy.
Little children might not be as aware of it.
It will get harder as they get older.
The pressures of reality television families can be intense — just look at what life in front of the camera has done to Tamra Judge’s family.
(Though, honestly, it’s pretty clear that Tamra herself is more of a culprit than reality television)
At the moment, though, it’s how Leah can support her daughters as they grow.
In Leah’s case, the intrusion of the cameras doesn’t seem to be harmful.

Zach and Tori Roloff Celebrate Son"s Milestone (See New Photos!!!!!!)
Time is already flying for Zach Roloff and Tori Roloff.
On Monday, the Little People, Big World stars took to Instagram in celebration of their son’s first milestone birthday.
He’s now one month old! Can you believe it?!?
The popular couple welcomed their first child into the world on May 12 and have talked openly about little Jackson ever since.
They’ve gushed over his presence in their lives, of course, while also telling fans that the newborn is, indeed, just like his father:
He was born with achondroplasia, the gene for dwarfism.
Because he grew up with “name-calling” and was always in the “back of the pack,” Zach understands how this condition will affect his son.
“You have to encourage a dwarf child a little more because it will take them five steps to do what others can do in two,” Roloff explained to People Magazine last month.
Adult males with Jackson’s condition grow to be an average of four feet, four inches tall – but the baby is measuring “normal” height at the moment.
He’s also incredibly cute and precious!
“Jackson is one month old today!” Tori wrote as a caption to the following image, giving followers a few more details about her son:
“He is eating and growing like a champ, loves watching soccer with daddy, starting to find his voice, sleeps 5-6 hour stretches at night, loves his Uncle Jacob, hates having his diaper changed, tolerates bath time.
“Love you so much baby J!”
Zach shared the same photo and message on his Instagram page, along with the hashtag “#zandtpartyofthree.”
In various interviews and on social media, the Roloffs have acknowledged how Jackson will require extra attention as he gets older, but have also said they have no regrets.
They knew there would be a fifty percent chance that their child would be born this way.
“Dwarf or not, I was going to parent my child with the mentality that not everyone gets a trophy. You have to earn it,” Zach has said, adding overall:
“We’re super excited… We’ll hope to just give him a healthy, happy life and support him in every way.
“He can experience as much of the world as Tori and me have been able to and hopefully much more!”
Meanwhile, expecting aunt Audrey posted a new image of her and her nephew on Instagram.
She’s clearly pretty darn smitten.
“Loving this little nephew so much,” wrote Jeremy Roloff’s wife as a caption to the above snapshot.
“I can’t believe it’s already been a month since we got to meet him for the first time.
“You are a precious child of God baby Jackson and we cannot wait for you to meet your cousin in just a couple months!”
Indeed, Audrey is due to give birth early this fall. She’s expecting a girl.
And while we’ve wondered whether a sibling rivalry between Jeremy and Zach is brewing as a result of these babies and their family farm and who may one day inherit to property, all family members just seem over the moon with happiness these days.
As one would expect when tiny human beings are involved.
“This makes it so much more real…oh my goodness we are going to have a daughter?” Audrey wrote in a caption on Instagram in April, adding at the time:
“This whole pregnancy we thought it was a boy up until the last 3 weeks all signs pointed towards girl… so we both wore pink today, and we were right!
“Baby girl I hope and pray you have a head of curls and a heart of gold.”
Tori, who works as a kindergarten teacher, has made it clear she doesn’t care that Jackson is like her dad when it comes to dwarfism.
She hopes he’s like his dad in every other way, as well.
“I just pray that he’s caring and thoughtful, like his father,” Tori says.. “I just want him to be a good person.”
Surrounded by so much love in his immediate family and extended family, we can’t see how this won’t be the case.
Congrats once again to Zach and Tori!
Your son is amazing!

Kim Kardashian Reaches Instagram Milestone, Sharing Shocking Pics
Kim Kardashian really is a changed woman.
And this is very bad news for horny young men around the globe.
Just over two years ago, Kardashian crossed the 27 million follower mark on Instagram and celebrated with a seductive photograph of herself in bed.
“27 mil!!!!! Thank you so much!!!! I love you all!!!!!” Kim captioned the very sexy snapshot in February of 2015.
When her follower count subsequently climbed to 42 million, Kardashian dropped a MASSIVE cleavage selfie on fans in recognization of the achievement.
When she hit 45 million not long afterward?
You guessed it: more cleavage!
But that was before Kim was a mother of two.
It was before she was robbed at gunpoint in Paris this past October and forced to truly re-evaluate nearly every aspect of her life.
Kardashian has understandably become far more guarded since this incident and, by extension, far more clothed.
Earlier this week, she accomplished a true Instagram feat, becoming just the sixth person to reach 100 million followers.
However, she didn’t strip down in celebration. She didn’t show off her boobs. She chose to show off her family instead.
“I CAN’T BELIEVE I’VE REACHED 100 MILLION FOLLOWERS ON INSTAGRAM, THANKS TO YOU GUYS!!!” she wrote as a caption to the above family portrait on her official website.
“TO CELEBRATE, I WANTED TO TAKE A LOOK BACK AT MY MOST-LIKED POSTS. I APPRECIATE YOU GUYS SO MUCH, MORE THAN YOU KNOW,” Kim added.
On Instagram itself, meanwhile, Kardashian not only didn’t reward followers with a new naked selfie.
She didn’t even feature a new picture of herself!
She went with the following image of daughter North West and wrote as another caption:
“She has no clue what 100 million followers means but she’s excited cause i’m excited lol thanks for the follows and the love.”
This brand new Kim Kardashian is probably good for the reality star’s mental health.
But is it good for her future as an actual reality star? Can a buttoned-up, responsible, conservative, more private Kim Kardashian remain a legitimate A-Lister?
No. Not if the failing ratings for Keeping Up with the Kardashians are any indication.
After the aforementioned robbery in Paris, Kim stepped fully away from the spotlight.
She didn’t share anything at all on social media and she didn’t go out in public.
Following several weeks of being on a self-imposed lockdown, however, Kim re-emerged little by little, posting various pictures of her husband and children at home.
“It was time for Kim to get back on social media and back to work,” an insider told Entertainment Weekly in January, explaining:
“That is a huge part of her career. She has obligations to support her family and has an entire team working for her. It was time to get back to normal.”
Well, not normal.
Normal would have previously meant a Kim Kardashian nude spread in honor of this social media milestone.
The new Kim Kardashian normal is a portrait of her loved ones.
We’re sorry, fellas. But you had to know this day was coming sooner or later, robbery or no robbery.
As for where Kardashian stands in the grand scheme of Instagram, she still has a ways to go before she can threaten Selena Gomez as the most popular user.
That singer is the most followed person on the platform by far, with approximately 120 million fans.
She is followed by: Ariana Grande at 105 million; Taylor Swift at 102 million; Beyonce and Cristiano Ronaldo, both at 101 million; and then Kim.
Kardashian is a solid 20 million followers ahead of the next person in her family, however, although we could actually see Kylie Jenner catching up someday.
She has her own reality show coming out and she remains very open to taking nearly everything off on a weekly basis.
That’s a tough combination. It’s one Kim can’t really compete with these days.
We’ll be keeping a close eye on both Instagram accounts to see if Kylie can someday usurp her sibling. Stay tuned!

Emily Ratajkowski: Nude For 2017 & Instagram Milestone!
Emily Ratajkowski knows how to start 2017 off right.
The insanely beautiful model celebrated the start of a new year – and surpassing 10 million Instagram followers – the best way possible.
This. To which we say simply … yes. All the yes.
Not unlike a Kylie Jenner bathroom selfie or a Lea Michele nude pose, there are some things that we all need right now after 2016.
EmRat, for her part, has her finger on the puluse.
Be it for a provocative music video, a feminist statement, a racy holidays card, or an Instagram milestone, she is down to get naked.
And for that, we thank her. In this case, Emily showed off her stunning physique after reaching an impressive 10 million fans on Instagram.
Soon to be 20 million and climbing, at this rate.
The 25-year-old sits waist deep in a tub of water, wearing glasses and with her knees positioned just so, in a playful selfie for her fans.
As for those unexpected spectacles?
“Dork in the tub. smiling because there are 10 million of you all! Thank you thank you,” she said, but she wasn’t done there. Oh no.
Over Christmas, she shared some collages she had made in which she posted naked photos of herself and sent them out to people.
Best. Christmas. Card. Idea. Ever.
In one snap, once again uploaded to Instagram, she appears fully nude with two well-placed hands in the picture. Very artistic indeed.
Emily confirmed that these weren’t mass produced – she only made a handful, and only sent them to select friends and family members.
“The cards are far more than just a holiday greeting … they’re a gift in and of themselves,” she said, in the understatement of all time.
“With everything going on in the world this year, my material gifts seemed to stop short at feeling special and full of love.”
“So,” she says, “I decided to do the collages.”

Honestly. What else is there to say?!
After the year she’s had, she deserves to treat herself to a celebratory bath and document it for her fans’ social media viewing pleasure.
She was sure to thank the legions of fans that hang onto her every last bikini pic, but truly, we are the ones who should be so thankful.
From killing it on the red carpet to using her celebrity to become an outspoken, body-positive icon, there’s a lot to love about Ratajkowski.
Like photos. ALL THE PHOTOS.
