That Time Kendall Jenner Forgot How to Read at the Billboard Awards

Much is written about Kendall Jenner these days, but one fun fact many have long forgotten is that she may or may not know how to read.  We kid … mostly. This classic 2014 clip will make you wonder! At the 2014 Billboard Music Awards, the now-21-year-old Keeping Up With the Kardashians star literally forgot what words are on TV. And with the 2017 BBMAs coming up this Sunday night, what better occasion for us as fans to never let her live this moment down! Sorry Kendall. All love, seriously. In fairness, even three years ago, young Kendall was far from the experienced celebrity and polished supermodel that she is today. To say that things didn't go as planned when she tried to introduce 5 Seconds of Summer would be an understatement, but nevertheless. She did her best, right?! We all have our embarrassing moments, and public speaking is difficult … most of us just aren't thrown in front of millions to do so. Was she about to announce One Direction? It sounded like it for a hot second, and given her then-romance Harry Styles? It's possible. That, or the teleprompter messed up? She didn't make any such excuses after the fact, so we're guessing any blame for this debacle falls squarely on KJ's lithe shoulders. Fortunately for (and in spite of) Kendall, 5 Seconds of Summer did eventually come on stage to perform and put her out of her misery. Naturally, Twitter was watching, and #kendallyouhadonejob began trending before you could say 1D or 5 Seconds of Summer or any band. These days, the joke is on us, as Kendall has made a wildly successful name for herself, and in her own right, not just as a Kardashian. Sure, there was the controversial Kendall Jenner Pepsi ad , perhaps the most tone deaf commercial ever green lighted by a brand. That wasn't her fault, though … and we don't suspect it will impact her ability to get work in the future. She is a woman on the up and up. If this live flub didn't hurt, what will!?

UFC 207: Amanda Nunes Knocks Out Ronda Rousey in 48 Seconds!

It wasn’t all that long ago that Ronda Rousey was considered the most dominant female MMA fighter in the world. That time has now decisively passed. Defending bantam weight champion Amanda Nunes trounced Rousey to the point that the UFC 207 title fight was stopped after just 48 seconds tonight. Nunes was widely regarded as an underdog, but Rousey never had a chance once she touched gloves with the Brazilian known to fans as the Lioness. Nunes pummeled Rousey with a barrage of jabs, putting the former champ on a defensive campaign from which she never recovered. At the 48-second mark of the first round of what was billed as the matchup of the year, the judges took mercy on Rousey and called the fight in favor of her 28-year-old opponent. A stunned Rousey kept her eyes cast to the ground as the fight was announced in favor of an opponent she had sworn to beat in her few media appearances of the past 13 months. Rousey lost the UFC bantamweight title when she was defeated by Holly Holm in November of 2015. Shortly thereafter, Holm lost the title to Miesha Tate, who later lost it to Nunes. Rousey’s comeback effort was billed by both her PR team and the UFC simply as “the return.” It seems Ronda wasn’t the only one who underestimated Amanda Nunes. Born in Brazil but trained in New Jersey and Tennessee, Nunes now boasts a record of 14-4. While a number of MMA analysts expected her to offer a formidable challenge to Rousey, few – if any – expected her to make such short work of the sport’s most recognized figure. As early as this week, Rousey was sharing chiseled selfies  on Instagram in order to demonstrate that she was in the best shape of her career and send a message of intimidation to her less-celebrated opponent. It now seems that message fell on deaf ears. Rousey was open about her struggle with depression following her defeat by Holm, causing many to question if she was emotionally fit to return to the ring. The future of her career now remains uncertain. At the moment, it looks as though UFC founder Dana White might do best to hang his future hopes on the newly anointed queen of the octagon, Amanda Nunes. View Slideshow: 20 Scandalous Sports Stories
