11 Dogs Who Know How to Rock a Christmas Sweater

The most wonderful time of the year is here! Because the kids are jingle belling and everyone is telling you to be of good cheer? Sure, definitely. Why not? But mostly because owners are now dressing their dogs in Christmas sweaters. And it’s just so gosh darn adorable! 11 Dogs Who Look Like a Boss in Their Christmas Sweaters 1. Merry Cute Christmas! This is the best Christmas gift you’ll receive this year. You’re welcome! Over the past few days, we’ve documented especially cute instances of a pug taking a bath and a French bulldog singing Josh Groban – but the photo gallery above makes it clear that all breeds can look like a boss while rocking this festive attire. Says Veterinarian Marty Becker: “When it comes to cold-weather clothing for dogs, I recommend that owners of three kinds of canine consider sweaters or other clothing: small dogs, dogs who are elderly or ill, and greyhounds, whippets or dogs with similar body types that carry very little fat, especially if they have short hair.” That’s fine and all, Dr. Becker. But the proper answer is that ALL dogs should wear sweaters for Christmas. That much is evident, don’t you think?

After watching this cat walk away from a collapsed building , we’re a bit scared to ever mess with these animals again. Yes, they look cute and cuddly and calm. But did you click on the link above? Did you see this feline escape certain death with barely a scratch on him? Sort of freaky stuff. But try telling that to the donkey featured in the following cute footage.

Kylie Jenner on Instagram: Help Me Take Off My Pants!

Kylie Jenner’s pattern of unsettling behavior on Instagram continued this week as the 17-year-old reality star posted a controversial caption to the photo below: “Help me take off my balmainnnnn sweatttttsssss” Kylie wrote beneath a selfie in which she poses in a pair of – you guessed it – Balmain sweatpants. The caption is a reference to the song “Balmain Jeans” by rapper Kid Cudi, which actually makes it more disturbing, as the lyrics that follow feature some graphic descriptions of what happens after the pants are removed. In fairness, Kylie is going through a difficult, confusing time at the moment. Her mother, Kris Jenner, just filed for divorce from her father, and KJ’s most recent IG posts make it clear that she’s having a hard time coping. Yesterday,  Kylie posted a quote about the “emptiness” she’s feeling in the wake of her parents’ decision to end their marriage. Her sister, Kendall Jenner, acknowledged the divorce with a throwback photo of Kris and Bruce Jenner in happier times.  So while both Jenner sisters are clearly struggling – and with good reason – it’s disappointing to see Kylie pass up the opportunity to serve as a role model to her millions of fans who are experiencing difficulties in their own families. One look at her comment boards makes it clear that Kylie’s fans skew very young, and we shudder to think of how they interpret it when they see her dealing with a stressful time by encouraging strangers to undress her. 19 Wildly Inappropriate Photos of Kylie Jenner 1. Kylie Jenner Cleavage Pic Kylie Jenner squats and shows off her cleavage in this photo. NOTE: She is 16 years old.

Michelle Rodriguez: I Totally Go Both Ways!

She’s fast. She’s furious. And she totally goes both ways! In a new interview with Entertainment Weekly , Michelle Rodriguez addresses her sexuality for the first time and makes it clear: she’s down with either type of private area. “I’ve never walked the carpet with anyone, so they wonder: What does she do with her vagina?” the star says. “Plus, I play a butchy girl all the time, so they assume I’m a lesbo.” And are those assumptions accurate? “Eh, they’re not too far off,” Rodriguez says. “I’ve gone both ways. I do as I please. I am too f–king curios to sit here and not try when I can. Men are intriguing. So are chicks.” We’ll give you a moment, fellas, to pick your tongue up off the ground… The Machete Kills star has been linked in the past to Vin Diesel, Olivier Martinez and Kristanna Loken. She said at the premiere of Battle Los Angeles in 2011 that she “likes sausage,” but she’s now come clean and admitted there’s also room for fish on her menu.
