Kris Jenner Totally SHADED by... Staples?!

Poor Kris Jenner.


The momager that brought her self-absorbed family into our news feeds on an annoyingly daily basis has received much hate over the years.



Earlier this year, Kris was booed onstage while introducing Culture Club at a concert in LA.


And now, she’s getting shade thrown at her by an unlikely foe: Staples.


No, it’s not the quirky moniker of some new indie artist, we’re talking about the office supply store.


To promote a new necklace from her jewelry line (yes, she has one – surprise!), Kris tweeted a pic of herself wearing the piece (above).


“My new ‘Elegance’ necklace is available now, exclusively online!” she wrote.


Staples Canada took note of the uncanny resemblance the “links” on the necklace bear to paper clips and took it as an opportunity for promotion (and snark).


“Also available in aisle 7…. #ThinkStaples,” they tweeted along with Kris’s pic.


The post has been retweeted more than 45,000 times.


The store may be promoting a new DIY jewelry initiative that would cost consumers far less than Kris’s bling.


The “Elegance” necklace runs for $ 175.


By comparison, a 1,000-count pack of paper clips will set you back just $ 5.29.


Easy peasy, right?


Kris may need to rely on new methods to make money now that Keeping Up With the Kardashians has seen a ratings dip and seems headed for obscurity.


But until that happens, we can keep sane by poking fun at the fam from time to time.

Amber Rose: Don"t Hate on Blac Chyna & Me Because We Were Strippers!

You gotta admire Amber Rose. 


The woman speaks her mind, battles haters straight on and sticks up for feminist issues that many folks in her community have regularly dismissed.



Now the model, whose reality show The Amber Rose Show debuted last month, speaks to The Daily Beast about her rise to fame and and the detractors who wanted to keep her down.


While once regarded simply as “Kanye West’s girlfriend” (the two dated several years ago), Amber insists that she worked like crazy to get where she is.


“The misconception—and I still hear this seven years later, to this day—is, ‘You’re only famous for Kanye,"” she explained, and confirmed that she understood the reasoning for that in the beginning.


“Initially, absolutely.”


But they’ve both moved on, and Amber affirms that no one can give Kanye credit for her accomplishments today.


“Everything I’ve done since then is my own doing, and I’ve worked my fucking ass off for everything I have,” she said.


Amber is also best friends with Blac Chyna. Both women worked as exotic dancers in the past, and Amber thinks they’ve been judged more harshly than other mainstream celebrities because of it.


“They said a lot of fucked up shit about us,” she lamented.


“The fact that we were dancers as well, people just felt like we’re just users and gold diggers, but we’re very passionate women. We love so hard.”


Chyna, who is pregnant with fiance Rob Kardashian’s baby, has been accused by many of using the reality star for money.


But Amber affirms Chyna and Rob are truly in love and think they make a terrific pair.


“You can’t help who you fall in love with, and in this case it was Rob,” she told the publication.


“It fit perfect with her. They’re great for each other.”


Drake & Rihanna: Dating Again! Yes, Really!

Drake and Rihanna are dating again. The end.


Just kidding. There’s a bit more to the story than that.



Rumors of romance began swirling earlier this year when the two steamed up the screen with their mad chemistry in Rihanna’s “Work” video.


But most of us chalked it up to thirsty publicists trying to create buzz around the track.


Then we received reports that Rihanna and Drake were secretly dating for months and wanted to keep their relationship out of the public eye.


And now it appears that the rumors were true.


An insider tells E! News that the pair are definitely back on.


In fact, the source reports that Drake has always wanted RiRi back, and she’s finally softened.



“He still loves her and never stopped,” claimed the insider.


“Rihanna is the one that’s been not wanting to settle down in the past,” the source added.


“They are having fun spending time with each other. Their music together got them close again.”


The pair enjoyed a brief romance back in 2014, but it ended quickly because Drake was “too in love.”


“He is too in love with her, which has always been the problem,” an insider dished. “They have been fighting, but that could change.”


Hopefully their love in on equal footing these days and these crazy kids can have a real shot at happiness.
