Out The Mud? Kylie Jenner Dubiously Dubbed ‘Self-Made’ Billionaire And The Internets Ain’t Having It 

Source: Splash News / Splash News Petty Reactions To Kylie Jenner Being Named ‘Self-Made’ Billionaire In the latest edition of ‘Kardashian/Jenner and Alternative Facts’ — Forbes once again tries to convince the world that Kylie Jenner is a “self-made” billionaire. Granted, the 21-year old’s makeup empire, Kylie Cosmetics, did rake in a cool $900 million over the last three years, and she does make bank from KUWTK, as well as her paid ‘Kylie Jenner Official’ App — but is she really ‘self-made’? Last year, when the star covered Forbes magazine, Dictionary.com shadily let it be known what it really meant to be self-made: Self-made means having succeeded in life unaided. Used in a sentence: Forbes says that Kylie Jenner is a self-made woman. https://t.co/sr8Ncd7s5A https://t.co/ehEL7Cf6KV — Dictionary.com (@Dictionarycom) July 11, 2018 With so many folks getting it out the mud these days, it’s very much a false narrative to say that Kylie “succeeded in life unaided.” End-stage Consumerism: Calling someone “self-made” whose path to wealth was marketing fake lip plumper using a family name made famous by a sister who parlayed a sex tape into a TV show. https://t.co/g6Lrxt4rSX — The Hoarse Whisperer (@HoarseWisperer) March 5, 2019 And trust — the Internet is not letting a Kardashian/Jenner get away with fake news today. If Kylie Jenner is self-made, I am a blonde, Caucasian woman. pic.twitter.com/0CRoomiw2b — Aasha Collins (@aashacollinsxo) March 5, 2019 Hit the flip to check out some of the pettiest reactions to Kylie Jenner being called self-made.

Jesus Take The Canine: Dog Bites Off 4-Year-Old’s ENTIRE Hand Then Allegedly Eats It

Source: Burak Karademir / Getty No Words A parent’s worst nightmare went down in Utah recently when it comes to children and animals. In a horrific act, a dog bit off a 4-year-old’s hand when the kid stuck their arm underneath a fence, according to Time . The kid was wearing a sock on their arm when they slipped it between the ground and a solid vinyl fence in a backyard on Sunday. According to the Layton Fire Battalion Chief Jason Cook, a husky on the other side bit off the boy’s entire hand AND two to three inches of his arm. The boy’s dad tried to contain the bleeding and comfort his son until emergency assistance arrived. A helicopter ended up flying the boy to a hospital in Salt Lake City, where he had surgery, Cook said. The child is doing well and is expected to survive, according to officials. Unfortunately, authorities weren’t able to find his hand, which brings about horrifying theories of what the dog could’ve done with it. Police think the dog might’ve eaten it. Animal control officials and medical personnel considered putting down the dog to retrieve the possible hand they ingested, but the surgeon said it wasn’t a viable option. The husky is set to be quarantined for 10 days, said Rhett Nicks, director for Davis County Animal Care and Control. Officials have not decided whether the dog will be put down or listed as a dangerous canine. An investigation is underway. Cook said this was the animal’s first reported bite. It’s not determined whether the dog owners will face consequences. The dog was properly fenced in at the house. Cook didn’t know if the boy was right-handed or not, but he said he should be able to adapt since he’s so young. “He’ll kind of grow into his dexterity,” Cook said. “But it’s certainly life-changing. It’s just a sad turn of events for the young, little guy.” Sad. Unfortunate. And brutal.

HIV Reportedly Cured In Second Person In 10 Years After Stem Cell Transplant 

Source: Getty / Getty Scientists have recently found what they believe to be the cure to HIV.  According to reports , a London man who was diagnosed with the virus in 2003 is currently in remission after receiving a special bone marrow transplant intended to treat cancer. In 2016, he received the stem cell transplant from a donor, with a rare CCR5 mutation that allows HIV resistance, to treat his Hodgkin’s lymphoma. But the anonymous man isn’t the first person to allegedly be cured of HIV. Back in 2007, a Berlin man became HIV-free after receiving the same transplant. Author and professor Dr. Ravindra Gupta said in a statement , “By achieving [HIV] remission in a second patient using a similar approach, we have shown that the Berlin patient was not an anomaly, and that it really was the treatment that eliminated HIV in these two people.” Doctors warn that the treatment may not be suitable for every patient, but they plan to do more research to help cure more sufferers in the future. Look at God.

Dunder-Mifflin Fenty: Rihanna’s Project Loud France Will Feature Office Supplies, Home Decor, And Garden Products

Source: ANTHONY HARVEY / Getty Rihanna’s Project Loud France To Sell Office Supplies And More In a time not too far from now, Rihanna will own and sell both the heavens and the earth, but until then, she’ll simply take every product that you need in your daily life and make it part of her personal brand. Earlier this year we reported that Robyn Fenty had entered into a business venture with the folks at Louis Vuitton Moet Hennessy to design and produce a line of luxury goods. Naturally, we assumed purses, luggage, and other typical items. We were dumb to think that anything Rihanna put her name on would anything remotely close to “typical”. According to VOGUE , Robyn’s line will run the gamut of high-end products that really, really, rich people spend their tax-sheltered money on. Project Loud France’s purpose is the “conception, fabrication, distribution, commerce, importation and exportation” of products across a range of categories including menswear, womenswear, childrenswear, footwear, eyewear, leather goods, sportswear, “goods linked to lifestyle”, high-tech products, office supplies, home decor and garden products, the new reports find. Jean-Baptiste Voisin, LVMH’s chief strategy officer… Did that list say “office supplies, home decor, and garden products”??? Bih, you gonna be able to cop a Rihanna x Louis Vuitton stapler, bed sheets, ottoman, rake, AND hoe?!?! It’s. F**king. Lit. If Rihanna’s new album didn’t sell a single record it’d STILL be over for you hoes.
