Kim Kardashian: I Covered My Boobs When I Met With Trump

Following the Keeping Up With The Kardashians finale , Kim Kardashian was a guest on Busy Tonight . One of the many subjects that she and Busy Philipps addressed was Kim's controversial visit to the White House. She also talks about doing ecstasy and reveals what she knows about whether Kylie and Travis Scott are married. Right after Kim comes out to speak to her longtime friend Busy, she acknowledges that her plunging neckline is a little conspicuous. “Your boobs are kind of always hanging out, Kim,” Busy points out. True enough. Then they get down to business. Apart from a brief aside about using obscenities in front of their children (they both do it), they talk about a major part of the Keeping Up With The Kardashians finale. They talk about Kim's trip to the White House to meet with Donald Trump. Kim knew that meeting with the most hated man in the world would be controversial, but she did it to send Alice Johnson home. “I just thought, you know what? Everyone talks shit about me all day long anyway, I'm gonna go and not worry about what people say about me,” Kim explains. Alice is a grandmother who was serving a life sentence for a non-violent drug offense, because our justice system is often unjust. Kim decided that earning a little ire by kissing the orange man's boot was worth it. “I'm gonna go and do the thing that I feel like is the right thing to do,” Kim continues. “And I'm gonna talk to the person who has the most power to make this decision,” Kim affirms. “The only person.” Trump is the only person who currently has the power to pardon people for federal offenses. She says that, despite Trump's desire to appear “tough on crime,” he eventually came around to see things her way. “I'm very grateful to the president for helping us out with this issue,” Kim says. “I might not agree with the policies, but I stay focused on this subject,” she continues. If you want to influence powerful, petty people, sometimes it's best to bite your tongue. “Snd for me,” Kim says. “It wasn't about politics. It was really about people and her.” Trump is famously a bobblehead — that is, someone who seems to agree with whoever spoke to him last. That means that, sometimes, he can be pursuaded to do the right thing. It's great that Kim was able to use his fondness for being liked to do some good. Kanye's outspoken support of Donald Trump has been deeply controversial. Kim characterizes that as Kanye wanting the “freedom” to like Trump. It sounds like Kanye is confused — because he is already free to like Trump. Freedom of speech does not mean freedom from consequences, however. On a very different and thankfully less political subject, Kim talks to Busy about her recent admission to having used ecstasy. “People that were close to me, that obviously know that, that life of mine, they're like, 'I can't believe you said that,'” Kim says. “And I was like, well, I mean I never really hide anything,” she explains. “And if anything, it's just weird to people.” Kim continues: “like I've done ecstasy but I don't drink, I don't smoke weed, I don't, I don't do anything.” “So it's weird to, like, have done that, but I think that I was so young,” she concludes. She also shares that she was frank about it with her mother, and that Kris had worried that she would become drug-addled or even infertile. Adorable. Speaking of Kim's family, she also goes into Kylie and Travis' habit of referring to each other as if they're married. Busy asks if they have gotten married behind the scenes. “I honestly don't know,” Kim confesses. “They're the cutest and I think they're so in love and they have the cutest little family,” she gushes. Kim then answers: “I would say no, they're just being cute and posting that.” But then Kim seems to consider. “They've posted it a few times. So I am going to ask in our group chat today when we leave here.” “F–k,” Busy laments. “I wish you had asked before.” That would have made a hell of a story. But Kim still touched on plenty of subjects.

Kim Kardashian: I Was Naked When I Talked to Trump!

Kim Kardashian has been a divisive figure throughout her career, but she recently earned some much-deserved, near-universal praise for using her fame and influence for good. Though generally left-leaning in her politics, Kim reached across the aisle back in June and contacted Donald Trump. Her goal was to secure the release of Alice Johnson , a grandmother who had already served 22 years of a life sentence she received as a result of a non-violent, first offense drug conviction. Whether or not you're a fan of either Kim or the president, most folks seem to agree that the decision to release Johnson after more than two decades behind bars was an unqualified good. Appearing on Jimmy Kimmel Live last night, Kim spoke of her dealings with the Donald and revealed that she was au naturel at the time she received her first phone call from Trump. “Did the president know that you were in just like a robe and nothing else because he probably would have released the whole prison if you'd told him that,” Kimmel quipped. Ah, yes, Trump is a pervert . That joke never gets old … unless you're one of his victims. Kimmel didn't go easy on Kim, but to her credit, she refused to allow herself to be backed into a corner. Asked about Kanye West's love of Trump , the mother of three refused to defend her husband's controversial polticial views, and even threw what could be interpreted as mild shade: “He's not political so he doesn't really dig deep into what's going on,” she said of Kanye. “He likes kind of just his personality and how he made it to be president when everyone really underestimated him.” Yes, as many predicted, West's love of Trump has nothing to do with politics and everything to do with the fact that he sees in the president a fellow egotisitical blowhard. As for her own views on 45 … well, Kim was a bit more cagey in that regard. “I have nothing bad to say about the president,” she told Kimmel, leading the host to reply: “Right, because you've still got people on the list.” “I'm very focused,” Kardashian replied. Hey, if Kim wants to keep her views on Trump to herself for a good cause, we're all for it. Stay focused, girl.

R.I.P: Kanye West Declares That He Killed His Ego

See the article here:

Source: Paul Natkin / Getty Ladies, gentlemen…people across the globe, we have reached a very special moment in history…or so I hope. Kanye West , a.k.a. the next Walt Disney , Steve Jobs , and Picasso , is chucking the deuces up to his ego. I killed my ego — KANYE WEST (@kanyewest) June 14, 2018 That’s right, the thing that has gotten Kanye into trouble more times than once has finally hit six feet under. Hours before Kanye’s big announcement, he posted about his wife’s involvement in freeing 63-year-old  Alice Johnson  from prison. https://t.co/GBaHHmLIL3 — KANYE WEST (@kanyewest) June 14, 2018 Then, Kanye went into a Twitter thread about eliminating pride… give without pride — KANYE WEST (@kanyewest) June 14, 2018 your pride can be and will be used against you — KANYE WEST (@kanyewest) June 14, 2018 be great without pride — KANYE WEST (@kanyewest) June 14, 2018 And then came the big reveal… I killed my ego — KANYE WEST (@kanyewest) June 14, 2018 Who or what is Kanye West with no ego? Just Ye — KANYE WEST (@kanyewest) June 14, 2018 And big shocker…this is something new for Ye… this is new for me but it’s just how I feel now. I don’t know why. I thought my ego protected me from doubters so that I wouldn’t doubt myself but there has to be a better way to do this — KANYE WEST (@kanyewest) June 14, 2018 Finally, Ye ended by saying his need to help people affects his actions… sometimes I have trouble saying no because I want to help everyone — KANYE WEST (@kanyewest) June 14, 2018 So there you have it. Could we be on the horizon of a new Ye? We already know how random and fickle he can be. And now that it’s known he has bipolar disorder , I wonder if that will affect his future sentiments. Per usual, only time will tell and Kanye will continue to keep us guessing. Until then, I’ll happily attend that ego funeral.   Let’s just hope the only resurrection Kanye believes in is Jesus Christ.  

R.I.P: Kanye West Declares That He Killed His Ego

Kim Kardashian: Please Don’t Hate Me for Meeting with Trump!

Earlier this week, Kim Kardashian did a good deed. And it didn’t have anything to do with gratuitous nudity, believe it or not. Nope, while Kim usually brightens the world with selfies or fashion or mindless reality television trash, she used her powers for good by going to the White House to meet with Donald Trump about a woman named Alice Johnson. You probably know the details on this already — the story and the photo of Kim meeting Trump were pretty widely mocked. But just in case you missed it, Alice Johnson is a 63-year-old grandma who was sentenced to life in prison without parole for non-violent drug charges — her first arrest, even — all the way back in 1996. Kim took an interest in Alice, who was obviously unbelievably failed by the justice system, and she used her voice to help take the issue directly to the president. It worked: Trump granted Alice clemency, and she was released from prison on Wednesday . After hearing the good news, Kim tweeted that she was “grateful” to Trump, Jared Kushner, and to everyone who helped achieve the goal, because “her commutation is inspirational and gives hope to so many others who are also deserving of a second chance.” “I hope to continue this important work by working together with organizations who have been fighting this fight for much longer than I have and deserve the recognition,” she added. So that’s really nice, right? It was weird to see Kim at the White House with Donald Trump who is somehow still the president , of course, but it’s an undeniably good thing that Alice Johnson was able to be released. But still, lots and lots of people have been mocking Kim for what happened, and she acknowledges that in a new interview she did with Van Jones. For one, she admitted she was starstruck — not by Trump, but by the White House itself. “I never get starstruck,” she said. “I was starstruck over the Oval Office … It really felt powerful, and felt like, you can just feel the history in there.” “I just took a second to take it all in, and then we talked about it.” As for Trump, she explained that he told her that the situation with Alice “just isn’t fair,” and that “he knew that this is the right thing to do, and he said that from the start after he had heard her whole story and situation and he knew it was the right thing to do.” When it was mentioned to her that many other celebrities have been avoiding the White House these days, she said that “Kanye’s already given him legitimacy … you know, in that way.” Yeah, he has . Kim didn’t think she would be “used” in any kind of weird way for her celebrity, but “at the end of the day, he heard me out. We got the job done.” “I juat have to stay focused, and I have to know that if he is the only person in the world that could have done this for her, why wouldn’t I go talk to that person, if I had the opportunity to?” she asked. “Forget about my fears. Forget about my life. That was the right thing to do.” That’s actually pretty admirable, right? View Slideshow: Kim Kardashian Meets with Donald Trump (And Twitter Can’t Handle It) She’s been open about her dislike of Trump and his platforms and his ideals and pretty much everything he stands for, and we’ve heard several times that she struggles with how much Kanye likes him . So after all that, she still met with Trump, despite knowing how hard she’d be mocked and ridiculed, because Trump was the person who could help Alice, and she knew that was more important than her own image. We’re proud of you, Kimmie!
