Names of Orlando Shooting Victims Released

As you’ve no doubt heard by now, at 2 am on Sunday morning, a gunman by the name of Omar Mateen carried out the largest mass shooting in U.S. history, killing 53 patrons of Pulse nightclub in Orlando and injuring 50 others.


It’s impossible to make sense of a tragedy on the scale of the Orlando shooting, but a newly released list of the names of the victims helps us to at least begin to comprehend the magnitude of the loss. 



The victims were mostly young, Hispanic men who were in attendance for the club’s weekly Latin music night.


One of them worked on the Harry Potter ride at nearby Universal Studios.


Another had recently relocated from Brooklyn to enjoy the city’s warmer climate. 


All of them lost their lives in the sort of senseless bloodshed that once would have been inconceivable but has now become commonplace in America.


Our thoughts are with their families as they struggle to cope with this unimaginable tragedy:

French Montana Buys Kylie Jenner Roses, Creeps Everyone Out

Maybe we had to be there?  Maybe those are friendship flowers?


Kylie Jenner is likely still in a glass case of emotion following her break-up with Tyga (they may well have gotten back together in the time I"ve written this sentence).


First she"s linked to PartyNextDoor and all is loved up, and now she"s getting roses from her sister, Khloe Kardashian"s ex-boyfriend, French Montana.


While out with Montana, 31, Jenner Snapchatted a moment that – in most other situations – would be downright adorable.  Montana rolled down his window to purchase flowers from a street vendor selling roses.  After grabbing a few and paying the lady, Montana showed off his purchase to Jenner and the other passengers.


It"s a lovely gesture, it really is.   And Montana only meant to make his friends smile. 


Quick question: Why is Jenner hanging out with Montana?


The rapper dated Kardashian before parting ways in December 2014, but they still remain friends.


"We have history and we"ve had a relationship and a great friendships and I love that we are still friends," Kardashian explained during an appearance on Kylie Radio.



"I don"t believe in f–king and ducking. We had a great relationship and I like that we can still be friends."  


Montana, as well, has nothing but good things to say about his ex.


"She"s good, she"s good," Montana told E! News at the 2016 Grammys.


"I spoke to her last week. We"re great friends. I think we"re going to be friends forever."


When Kardashian dropped everything to be by Lamar Odom"s side after he overdosed, Montana praised her kindness and generosity.


"Shout out to Khloe. I am really proud of her for being by his side," French said at the time.


"It"s a beautiful thing to see cause I know she has a good heart like that."


SO WHERE IS HER ROSE, FRENCH?

Kylie Jenner Butt Selfie Rekindles Plastic Surgery Rumors, Brings Us Joy

We can safely say by now that Kylie Jenner is many things.


We can also say that subtlety is not one of those things.



The caption of the above Instagram shot? “Ernie.”


That would be the 18-year-old’s dog. He is cute.


Yet somehow, we’re drawn to certain other aspects of the image. It’s hard to put our finger on why, but it feels like Ernie isn’t the point.


Call us cynical, but we’re going to go out on a real limb here and posit that the puppy plus ass over puppy plus face choice was deliberate.


When she busts out the jorts, all bets are off.


Well, except any bets placed on whether or not Kylie Jenner, the queen of Instagram, has had plastic surgery on that enviable backside. 


Those bets would be rather entertaining indeed


Based on the evidence above, we would still be hesitant to declare with any sort of confidence that she had any sort of work done there.


Sure, that eye-popping booty is flat out ridiculous these days. Sure, she’s got a figure that would stop traffic and make Kim K. jealous.


No one is disputing that. Just look at her, people. 


But we can’t let a pre-ripped section of overpriced designer jean shorts cloud our judgment just because they flaunt some nice cheek.


Her ass is magnificent, but if you take away the fact that it’s Kylie, would anyone look at that photo and assume it was anything but natural?


If we’re being honest with ourselves, probably not.


The also-recurring Kylie Jenner boob job rumors, on the other hand, are totally true. Maybe. Possibly. Seriously, her body is full-on insane.


One thing we can say with certainty is that Kylie is no Amina Blue … in a good way. Seriously, Tyga. Major downgrade there, you douche.


Demi Rose on the other hand? Tougher call. Just saying.


Check out some of Kylie’s raciest pictures in history in the gallery below, and try not to drool too aggressively at your phone or laptop.


At least not in public places. Down boy.
