Caitlyn Jenner

It is has been a topic surrounded by an awful lot of debate since that Vanity Fair cover was released.

Former Olympian, now reality TV star and spokesperson for LGBT rights Caitlyn Jenner has revealed that she still uses her former name, Bruce from time to time.

In a clip from the gold-medal winner’s new docuseries I Am Cait, Caitlyn decides to use her old name on an application for her golf course membership.

Friend of Cait, and former bestie and assistant of Cait’s ex Kris Jenner, Ronda Kamihira is confused at the choice and says she doesn’t understand her choice.

“Are you going to wear your hoodie and pretend?" She asks her pal in the episode.

Caitlyn explains that her golf course of choice in under construction, and as she is registered as Bruce there. She thinks it would make the process faster by applying to a new course with the same name.

Ronda says that it everyone at the golf club will know Caitlyn is Caitlyn and wants to know why she can’t use her new name.

She says the name change on the application will be “confusing”.

"I don't have to worry about locker rooms and all that crap right now, which I don't want to worry about,” is Cait’s response.

When her friends presses her further on whether she will be wearing skirts ofr shorts at the club, Caitlyn is quick to try and change the topic completely.

She adds that she will “deal with all those issues down the way.”

When Caitlyn Jenner introduced herself to the world as a woman, she did so on the iconic cover of Vanity Fair.

It is a photoshoot which has now been seen by people all over the world. 

And now an American costume company has began selling a Caitlyn Jenner outfit which is inspired by the Vanity Fair cover.

However, the Halloween attire has caused serious outrage online, with fans of Caitlyn branding it as "disgusting". 

The websites Spirit Halloween and Anytime Costumes posted the costumes on their websites, but both have received backlash, with some people suggesting that the unisex outfit is offensive to the transgender star. 

Lisa Barr, senior director of marketing at Spirit Halloween, said: "At Spirit Halloween, we create a wide range of costumes that are often based upon celebrities, public figures, heroes and superheroes."

"We feel that Caitlyn Jenner is all of the above and that she should be celebrated. The Caitlyn Jenner costume reflects just that."

Transgender activists have even launched a petition on Change.org asking the companies to stop selling the costume, which is priced at €68. 

As an alternative, there is also an Olympic-style option which recreates the former Bruce Jenner's gold medal-winning moment with a red top and blue shorts.

Early in February Caitlyn Jenner was involved in a car accident which left one woman dead. Now investigators from the L.A County sheriff’s office might recommend she be charged with manslaughter.

Speaking with Buzzfeed News, a spokesperson for the sheriff’s office said that prosecutors will present the findings of their investigation next week.

They did not confirm whether Caitlyn will be charged with manslaughter or not.

“They did have some findings with Caitlyn Jenner — a violation of unsafe driving for the prevailing roadway conditions — and that due to the death of Ms. Howe, the case will be presented for a possible misdemeanor vehicular manslaughter charge,” said Nicole Nishisa, the spokesperson.

While these charges have yet to officially be handed down, Caitlyn is still battling a wrongful death lawsuit which was filed by the family of the woman killed in the accident. She was 69-year old Kim Howe.

If Caitlyn is charged with manslaughter this could mean she faces up to one year in prison.

Hollywood Life reports that a source close to the star has said that the thought of going to prison terrifies her.

“Caitlyn is horrified to go to jail, even more than transitioning,” the insider is reported as saying. They also added that “[Caitlyn] wants to make sure that she has the best legal team to avoid any jail time.”

After the accident Caitlyn released a statement which said her “heartfelt and deepest sympathies go out to the family and loved ones, and to all those

They has been a lot of rumours surrounding how Kris feels about Caitlyn Jenner, but it seems there are no hard feelings as the pair posed together last night with Kim Kardashian, to start the celebrations for Kylie's 18th birthday on Monday. 

Last night was the first time the former couple were spotted in public together since news that Caitlyn was transitioning to a woman broke. 

The whole family came together last night to begin celebrating Kylie's birthday in an intimate family dinner in Los Angeles.

Kim has been one of Caitlyn's biggest supporters through out her journey and she posted the selfie which seems like a huge step for the family. 

Kanye's wife also posted another selfie with just Caitlyn which the caption "The great Cait" and wow does she look stunning. 

Kim and Khloe also shared more snaps of the night with plenty of pictures of the sisters popping up on social media. 

Khloe posted a picture saying "The festivities are just beginning!! My baby girl is going to be 18!!! I'm legit going to cry I love you ky!"

We're not sure yet what Tyga has planned for Kylie, but earlier in the day she was spotted out doing some car shopping with him so maybe he's getting her a new ride.

In case you missed it, because those Snapchat videos can go pretty quickly we understand, there’s a new name to add to the ever growing Kardashian Jenner clan list.

While the newest member of the family may be missing the family’s now trademark pout and shining dark locks, he makes up for it in ears, and paws.

Indeed, he also has quite the fluffy tail going on too.

Kylie has decided the perfect way to maximise the space in her new mega-mansion in Calabasas is to fill it with woodland creatures. In addition to her two Italian greyhounds Norman and Bambi (who you can follow on Instagram, naturally). She adopted a pet rabbit. Do you know his name?

Bruce.

Sounds familiar, right?

Kylie hasn’t commented on why she chose the name her father, Caitlyn Jenner, once went by exactly. However, we could consider the fact that Caitlyn was once a competitor in the athletics events of the Olympics.

The thinking seems to be that seeing as rabbits hop around and athletics involves hurdles there must be some connection, according to People magazine anyway.

Kylie and Bruce has got plenty of activities to keep them occupied in the coming weeks aide from getting their nails done. As mom Kris reminded us all earlier this week in an Instagram post, there’s only a few days left before Kylie turns the big 1-8.

Her birthday party seemingly has all the makings of an incredible night to remember at Beach Club in Montreal. Which is essentially the Canadian version of Ibiza, so think A-list DJs and lots of alcohol.

We think Bruce the rabbit might be staying in California next weekend somehow…

Since transitioning to life as a woman, Caitlyn Jenner has had to "reintroduce" herself to various members of her family, from her daughters and step-daughters to her mother Esther.

Now though, the reality star has finally had one of the most anticipated meetings of all, with her ex-wife Kris Jenner. The former couple met in person yesterday at Caitlyn's Malibu home for what was no doubt an emotional couple of hours.

Kris' black SUV was seen leaving the Malibu mansion yesterday afternoon, confirming speculation the exes had met. According to Hollywood Life, "momager" Kris was the one who initiated the meeting, despite being hesitant to see Caitlyn in person immediately following her transformation.

"Kris was super uncomfortable and rigid at first. She definitely didn’t know how to act around Caitlyn. They avoided anything serious for awhile making small talk about clothes and the kids," a source told the gossip site. However the ice was soon broken as the pair laughed about “looking fat in paparazzi photos."

Although Kris was openly distraught and angry about the news that Caitlyn was set to publicly transition to life as a woman, she has come out of the situation with the utmost respect for her ex, who she was married to for 23 years.

Speaking in Cannes last month, following the publication of Caitlyn's now-iconic Vanity Fair cover, the 59-year-old said she thought her bravery was "amazing," adding, "I think that someone following their dream is truly inspirational to a lot of people. You have to do what makes you happy."

And it seems the feeling is mutual, as Caitlyn had nothing but love and praise for her ex-wife in a recent interview.

"You know, Kris is a really good woman and I love her to death," the former Olympian said during E!'s two-part documentary About Bruce. "And the love and acceptance I have gotten from Kris is absolutely overwhelming."

The hugely anticipated docu-series I Am Cait had its American premiere earlier this week on E!, but the show hasn't received as many positive reactions as were expected. 

It seems like we have been waiting a LONG time for this series to air; certainly, it has been hugely publicised since Caitlyn underwent gender transitioning earlier this year. 

Even with all the hype the show received, viewing figures were not as high as the show producers had expected – and some of the reviews have so far been far from positive. 

The first episode brought in around 2.7million viewers, which is just above what Keeping Up With The Kardashians usually brings in, but is still well under what was expected.

These numbers are compared to a huge 17million who tuned in to watch Caitlyn's interview with Diane Sawyer and 8million who watched her ESPY's acceptance speech. 

Furthermore, many viewers felt it was staged and scripted rather than being true 'reality' TV. 

The New York Times reported that "there’s no reason to doubt Ms Jenner’s sincerity when she cites statistics about suicide among transgender teenagers or consoles a grieving parent, but you also can’t help noticing how she seems to be reading from a script.”

Vulture.com was also dismissive, saying "each scene felt as choreographed as a ballet, as deftly applied as the hair extensions we see Kylie and Cait giggle over: Fake, but fake for our behalf."

The programme will air on August 2 in Ireland.

It's a girl for proud parents Brandon and Leah Jenner, who revealed news of their new arrival yesterday.

The couple welcomed little Eva James Jenner last Wednesday, but took some time to adjust to parenthood before making their big announcement. Taking to Instagram yesterday evening, Leah posted a picture of herself cradling her bump, and wrote a sweet message to her fans.

"On Wednesday, July 22nd I became a Mom. It has without a doubt been the most profoundly beautiful time in my life but also emotionally, spiritually and physically challenging too….and I am so grateful for every second of it," she said. "Brandon and I are taking care of our healthy, little baby girl, Eva James Jenner."

Fans of Keeping Up With The Kardashians will know Brandon as Caitlyn Jenner's son from her second marriage to Linda Thompson. He is brother to Brody Jenner and half brother to Kendall, Kylie, Burt and Casey Jenner.

Despite being all over the media yesterday following her inspiring speech at the ESPY awards on Wednesday night in L.A, some people are still not happy with Caitlyn Jenner.

The former Olympian has received much criticism from a driver involved in the fatal crash on Feb 7 which Caitlyn was also involved in.

Jessica Steindorff issues a statement to ET following Caitlyn receiving the award with outlined her anger at Caitlyn being honoured after taking someone’s life.

It is still being debated at the moment as to whether Caitlyn was at fault or not, but Jessica says she does not deserve to be called a role model.

“I find it difficult to understand how the culture we live in can honour a person who is responsible for taking a life and injuring several others with both an award and a reality show.”

She went on to say in the statement that while Caitlyn is a positive role model in many other aspects of her life, she has “failed to do the right thing and take responsibility for her actions.”

While Caitlyn has been in the public eye since her transition, she has not spoken about the incident where possible. Jessica said she would hope that for someone who spoke so passionately about compassion and understanding for others that she “would be more sensitive to the fact that she ended another person’s life.”

 While Jessica is angered by the fact that Caitlyn does not seem to be taking responsibility for her actions she is also not surprised about the fact that is has happened this way.

She said: “Sadly we are living in a tabloid society.”

The Kardashian-Jenner siblings were out in force at last night's ESPYs, where Caitlyn Jenner was honoured with the annual Arthur Ashe Courage Award.

While Kylie Jenner stole the show in the style stakes with her downright incredible Shady Zeineldine gold sequined fishtail gown, her older sister Kendall made headlines today for very different reasons.

If we were asked to stand in front of hundreds of flashing camera bulbs we'd barely be able to stand up straight, let alone pose with the poise that Kendall did last night.

But the thing that really has us weirded out today? The fact that the 19-year-old model managed to face the cameras for a full 20 seconds without blinking even once. Not once! Fashion brand ASOS picked up on the quirk of Kendall's red carpet routine, and posted this video on their Facebook page to prove just how strange it is:

Even in bright sunlight, with all the flashes, Kendall Jenner didn't blink ONCE in 19.5 seconds at last night's ESPYs. Such a professional

Posted by ASOS on Thursday, 16 July 2015

Here at SHEmazing! Towers we tried not blinking for the duration of the video and failed miserably, so kudos to Kendall for managing it with sunllight, camera flashes and shouting photographers in her face. 

Just to clear things up though, the reality star is definitely NOT a robot, as she has blinked on at least one previous occasion:

This family never cease to amaze us.

The Apple iPhone Siri function has managed to evolve into a serious sass queen as of late.

Siri has been throwing some serious shade at users, and people were not feeling the love. Basically, if you didn’t know that you can’t divide zero by zero, don’t ask Siri, she will not be impressed.

She left an awful lot of people feeling pretty miserable and questioning their life choices, because Siri has that effect on some people.

Siri, useful tool that it is, is known for being blunt, witty and not afraid to possibly hurt your feelings with her sharp answers.

If you needed any more convincing just ask Siri about their feelings regarding Miley Cyrus. Thinsg get very real, very fast.

However, many internet users are capable of forgiving her after someone made this discovery.

If you ask Siri about Bruce Jenner, she automatically corrects you and refers to Caitlyn Jenner. She also does not mess around when asked questions surrounding Caitlyn’s gender.

Asking “what gender is Bruce Jenner?” is immediately corrected to be interpreted as “what gender is Caitlyn Jenner?”

According to reports on The Verge, this is a big deal. Back in April people discovered that Siri is not always so politically correct:

“Users noticed that the Russian language version of Siri was responding to questions about topics like gay marriages and gay bars with homophobic answers.”

Last night the ESPY awards took place and countless stars hit the red carpet.

Two who certainly caught our eye were none other than Kendall and Kylie Jenner. They were at the event to support Caitlyn Jenner, who was being honoured with the Arthur Ashe award at the ceremony.

Putting their best fashion foot forward, both sisters pulled out all the stops.

Kylie,17, made heads turn fast in her floor length gown covered in thousands of tiny gold sequins. The dress was a creation of Lebanese designer Shady Zeineldine.

Sporting a shorter dark hair style she went dresses that famous pout of hers in a nude lip colour and went for a bright white manicure which we really want to try. Her dress had long sleeves and a high neckline, which was unexpected but incredibly chic.

Kendall, the 19-year old fashion model, chose a black gown by Alexander Vauthier with sheer panels and a plunging neckline.

 

All black had to change to match

While older sisters Kim, Khloe and Kourtney were at the event they opted not to walk the red carpet. Brody Jenner meanwhile took to the carpet with his girlfriend Kaitlynn Carter. He took a more laid back approach with a black suit and black t-shirt combo.

Younger sisters Kendall and Kylie certainly stole the show with their all –out-glam styles(insert heart eyes emojis here). Backstage all the family were in attendance and wore co-ordinated black outfits as they posed for some family snaps which Kylie posted on her Instagram page.

Singer Ciara almost managed to upstage them though, when she appeared wearing a fabulous Elie Saab gown with a dip dyed indigo to plum colouring.

Caitlyn herself had the help of stylist Jen Rade to get her outfit for the night on point. Wearing an eye-catching custom Atelier Versace gown in white. The gown also had long sleeves with a high slit. She looked incredibly as she discussed transgender issues and the challenges faced by the trans community on stage.
