Kendall Jenner Denies Paparazzi Punch: Read Her Statement

Kendall Jenner is fighting back against a rumor that categorizes her as… well… a fighter. According a report from earlier this month, the model actually went all Justin Bieber on a member of the paparazzi a few weeks ago, punching him in the face after a night spent partying. Photos surfaced of the alleged incident, but Kendall insists they did not tell the complete story. Or really any accurate story at all. “Even though you know about my anger towards the paparazzi – I didn’t touch him!” Kendall has written on her official website in response to the punching allegation. Continues the 20-year old Keeping Up with the Kardashians star, by way of explanation, saying that she was covering her face after an evening out with Gigi Hadid: “I was super sweaty after dancing in the club all night (the last thing on earth I wanted was to have my photo taken at that moment!)… ” All of a sudden, this paparazzi took his camera and started taking pictures right below my face. It was in my personal space, like centimeters from my body. “I was so annoyed. All I ask for is just a bubble of space to breathe, and he disrespected that.” Jenner says she grabbed his camera “and pushed it away across my body, sort of trying to push and pull it out of his hand at the same time.”  So there was contact made, Kendall has acknowledged as much. “Of course, that side motion with my arm is why all of the pictures look like punches were flying,” she writes. “They totally weren’t! I just wanted him and his camera out of my face.” Jenner concluded her post by emphasizing that “violence is never my thing” and adding: “I get that [the paparazzi] have a job to do, too – but I’d love it if they gave me a break every now and then!” View Slideshow: 19 Times the Kardashians Have Been in Krisis

Internet Names New Polar Research Vessel "Boaty McBoatface"

Bless the Natural Environment Research Council’s heart, for they opened up a can of worms that proved impossible to seal back up. According to Fortune , while the state-of-the-art $288 million vessel is being built, the council conducted a poll for people to vote on a name. James Hand, communications manager for The Independent Association of Prep Schools, decided to throw the name “Boaty McBoatface” into the ring…and it stuck. “I read the story about naming the ship  on the BBC website on Thursday and some of the entries were really funny – my favourite was Clifford The Big Red Boat,” Hand told the BBC . “I thought I would throw one into the ring. By Friday night it was leading by a couple of thousand, and when the site crashed on Sunday it was leading by 8,000. It’s been utterly bizarre. “I’ve apologised profusely to the people behind the website,” he went on. “It was actually nothing to do with me. It was my suggestion but the storm that has been created has legs of its own.” Hand is quite embarrassed that his name – which, as of press time, is leading by far more than 8,000 – was so popular.  He tweeted an apology to the NERC, who told him not to be sorry, because the naming process was fast becoming the most popular topic on the internet. Other suggestions are more geared towards celebrating British scientists and explorers, including David Attenborough and Henry Worlsey. “We’ve had thousands of suggestions made on the website since we officially launched; many of them reflect the importance of the ship’s scientific role by celebrating great British explorers and scientists,” a spokesperson for the NERC said. “We are pleased that people are embracing the idea in a spirit of fun.”

Justin Bieber & Marilyn Manson End Feud, Become BFFs

Just about all of your major religions foretell some sort of end times scenario, usually involving plagues, famine, earthquakes, rivers running red with blood – that sort of thing. It’s all very scary stuff, but we think they might have left out one equally surefire sign of the Apocalypse: Yes, that’s Justin Bieber hanging out with Marilyn Manson at a club in LA on the left, and Manson posing for a selfie in a Bieber t-shirt on the right. We don’t know if these two are friends now or what, but this is a seriously unexpected pairing, and not only because we didn’t think the planet could handle this much D-baggery in one place. Like millions of others, Manson has reveled in mocking Bieber online on several occasions. It seems he particularly took exception to Bieber’s habit of rocking Manson t-shirts at unusual times like…at church (seriously). So it’s more than a little surprising that Marilyn and the Biebs have found some common ground. Of course, Manson has demonstrated a willingness to bury the hatchet with famous youngsters in the past, such as when he dedicated a song to Paris Jackson after publicly poking fun at her dad. We’re not saying it isn’t weird, but we’d much rather see Justin posing for a selfie with a 47-year-old goth than using his Instagram to try and win Selena Gomez back . Both situations are creepy, but at least this way no one innocent gets hurt. View Slideshow: 20 Celebrity Feuds We Never Saw Coming
