Having carved out a hugely successful career for herself in spite of initial gender-specific criticism, one would be forgiven for thinking that Kim Kardashian would happily consider herself a feminist.

But as the audience at the BlogHer conference learned earlier this month, that is not a label which sits too comfortable with the mother-of-two.

"I love to support other women, but I’m not the ‘free-the-nipple’ type girl," she explained at the time.

Hailing from a predominantly female family with a strong matriarchal presence, many were aghast that Kim would be reluctant to wear the Feminist badge proudly.

Responding to the discussion which was ignited as a result of Kim's off-the-cuff remark, the 35-year-old penned a piece which offers an insight into her perspective on the situation.

"For me, a feminist is someone who advocates for the civil and social rights and liberties of all people, regardless of their gender; anyone who believes that women should have the same choices and opportunities as men when it comes to education and employment, their bodies and their lifestyles."

And while Kim says she obviously wants to do all these things while empowering and uplifting women, she shies away from labels.

"Why do we have to put labels on things?" she asked. "You’re Republican, you’re Democrat, you’re bisexual, you’re plus-size, you’re poor, you’re a criminal, you’re a mother, you’re a feminist."

Kim insisted that over-simplication is the issue, continuing: "I’m a human being, and I have thoughts, feelings and opinions about a lot of different things."

"I don’t need to be defined by those beliefs, just as much as I don’t want to be set apart from – or viewed as being against – those who DO define themselves by those beliefs," she explained.

The KUWTK star  clarified her position by adding: "The fight for equality is about ALL human beings being treated equally – regardless of gender, sexuality or ethnicity."

And now we know.

Keeping Up With the Kardashians fans will likely remember an episode where Kim got an X-ray to prove – once and for all – that her world-famous bum comes down to nothing more than good genes.

And while many would argue that that should have been enough to silence cynics, it clearly wasn't as the mum-of-two is still regularly plagued by rumours that she's had cosmetic surgery on her derriére.

Addressing the rumours during a recent live stream on her website, Kim ventured a guess as to why the implant rumour has yet to fall by the wayside.
 

Kim, who suffers from psoriasis, treats the skin condition with cortisone injections, and despite being told they there was little chance she would develop an indent in her bum as a result of the injections, that's exactly what happened.

"One of my neighbours was a dermatologist at Cedars," 35-year-old Kim tells fans online. ”I go in there and he’s like, ‘There’s a one in a billion chance that you will get a huge indent in your butt.’ Of course I get a huge indent on my butt."

Aware that this likely added to speculation, Kim explained: “There is a picture of me in Miami wearing an electric blue dress, and another picture of me walking down Robertson."

"You see the indent. And I think that’s when the rumours started, ‘She’s had implants’." Kim surmises.

Insistent that the indent is the result of injections recieved solely to treat psoriasis, Kim assures fans: "Every few years I get a cortisone shot. That’s a little unknown fact of me."

And there you have it.

North West: already pretty much the best dressed three-year-old we can think of. 

And now her reality TV star mum has revealed she is keeping ‘everything’ fancy from her wardrobe – to give to North when she grows up.

All we're thinking here is… Met Gala gowns!

Kim told People over the weekend: “Everything I have is for her, and she’ll look at it and say, ‘Can I wear that one day?’, and I’m like, ‘Yes, you can’. And she’ll say, ‘OK, I’m gonna go eat my vegetables, but I’ll be back and big.’”

Too cute!

And despite being infamously ordered to get rid of all her pre-Kanye clothes by, well, Kanye himself; the 35-year-old revealed that North will be getting her pick from the non-Kanye-approved pile, too.

“I saved them all for my daughter, before I even had a daughter, so one day she could see. I wanted to just keep those memories,” she added.

All we can say is: lucky North!

When we come to the conclusion we need to lose a little weight but have absolutely no time to do so, we simply opt for our failsafe black outfit, and ban the use of cameras until we've had a vino or two.

And that's because we're mere mortals, and not members of the Kardashian family.

According to Kim, when any one member of the Calabasas clan feels the need to drop a few lbs, they turn to Khloé who has created a – wait for it – fitness emergency kit.

Kim, who has been attempting to shed weight since giving birth to baby Saint, insists she has a plateau since edging ever closer to her goal weight.

"It's impossible. Khloé has this fitness emergency kit that she's made and created herself," Kim told E! News yesterday.

Explaining that Khloé is basically the Inspector Gadget of the fitness world, Kim said: "It's a backpack full of these things and one of them is a sweat suit that she made that makes you sweat."

"And there's this workout band and these workout things," Kim added.

Coming to the rescue of her sister, Khloé even provided a personal drop-off service so her older sistser can sweat herself into oblivion.

"She literally dropped it off yesterday because I was like, ‘I've gotta just lose these last 5 pounds,' so I'm just going to follow Khloe's lead," Kim admitted.

Cool, just don't it in the hairstyle stakes.

The Kardashian-Jenners might be all aboard the drama train Kanye West launched at Taylor Swift earlier this year, but when it comes to business-based in-house disputes the family's united front seems to wane in a pretty obvious way.

And as the latest episode of Keeping Up With the Kardashians has revealed, the one thing that Kanye does not want the family messing with are his fashion interests.

On Sunday night's show it was revealed that Kanye was totally pissed when his mother-in-law Kris Jenner landed a major sportswear campaign with Puma for her daughter Kylie a few months back.  

Why?  Because Ye was afraid the deal could have affected his relationship with one of the sportswear giant's main rivals, Adidas.

In scenes filmed during a family dinner in Cuba, Kanye compared the deal to him heading off to film his own reality TV series without informing the famous fam.

He said: “So they offered me a deal and I like did it and didn’t tell none of y’all and brought all of my cool friends.  Like now it’ Jay-Z, Beyonce, all on the show.”

 

 

The controversial rapper's point was accepted by Khloé who said: “I don’t agree with going against the family in that way.  I think Kylie, whoever, should have presented it to Kanye first.”

“One hundred percent,” said Kim.

But not everyone was in agreement that Kanye should have been given the heads up by family momager Kris Jenner who had not only sealed the Puma deal for Kylie, but had previously tried to get her daughter a deal with Adidas in a move which could have had a major knock-on effect on Kanye's deal with the brand.  

In a later scene Kris tells Kim that it “goes with the territory of wearing all these different hats and being mom and manager” and that “sometimes it’s about a business decision which is completely not personal”.  Ouch!

However Kris does eventually back down by recognising she may have taken her momager role a step too far by saying: “Well…sometimes I get ahead of myself too.  And sometimes I forget to communicate the way I maybe should.  So I feel bad – but it wasn’t intentional.”

And so all's well that ends well in the world of the Kardashians.

Kim Kardashian is about to do one of her favourite things — post a nude selfie.

Yep, another one…

But this time, the Keeping Up With the Kardashians star wants us to see her now that she's lost all of her pregnancy weight.

While speaking at the BlogHer conference yesterday, Kim asked herself: “Have I posted a nude selfie since I lost all my baby weight?”

And then followed by: “I don’t think so. Get ready.”

After, Kimmy was asked, point blank, why she likes to share her naked selfies, to which she said: “Because I feel good about myself.

"You can just get so caught up in not wanting to be motivated, so I made it a really important thing for my confidence and for me to feel good.”

We all know Kim Kardashian has a penchant for the dramatic – we mean, remember when she lost her earring in the ocean?

And when you're naturally that dramatic, you need a BFF who can handle you, and acknowledge that while it may seem little to everyone else, it's a pretty big deal to you.

Thankfully for Kim, this person comes in the form of Chrissy Teigen who – unlike the rest of the world – genuinely cared when Kim's beloved Blackberry finally kicked the bucket.

In a move that showcases her sense of humour as well as her top-notch friendship skills, Chrissy sent Kim a note – accompanied by a bouquet – which urged her to remember the good times she shared with her much-loved handheld device.
 

"I'm so sorry for your loss," the new mum wrote. "I know how much you loved your BB."

"You were both very lucky to have each other and you will always have the memories," she assured Kim in a gesture which has sent social media users over the edge.

Sharing footage of the flowers and note on Snapchat video upload, Kim said: "You guys, how thoughtful is Chrissy. She sent me this floral arrangement. She just gets me."

Oh, she definitely gets you, but she also couldn't have said that in person with a straight face…

It’s been ten years since The Hills first appeared on our screens and while we’ve always fancied our chances in a game of Hills trivia, today we learned something rather unexpected – that Kim Kardashian West could have been in the show!

Feel free to take a minute, we understand.

Last night a celebratory episode of the hit reality show aired on MTV and possibly the most shocking aspect of The Hills: That Was Then, This Is Now was the revelation that before Kim Kardashian became the biggest reality star of all time, she was filmed hanging in the Hills at Heidi Montag’s party.

According to The Daily Mail, the footage was filmed just one year before Kim’s infamous sex tape made her notorious worldwide and, in what now feels like some kind of awkward parallel universe, the old clips show Kim receiving a tour of Heidi’s gaff.

Bizarrely during the guided walk-through, Kim asks Heidi what her aquarium is, to which Heidi replies: “These are our jellyfish.  We’re the only people in America to have jellyfish.”

The Keeping Up With the Kardashians star was then filmed telling her stepbrother Brody Jenner – who went on to become a regular Hills fixture – that she was going to Vegas to celebrate Memorial Day.

In a decision which could have altered reality TV history, Kim’s scenes were cut from the show and despite still being connected to Heidi and co Kim never again appeared in The Hills.

What a world we live in…

Let's face it – Kim Kardashian has at some stage or another rocked pretty much every hairstyle imaginable. 

From jet-black to platinum blonde, she's embraced it and made it her own.

And while she's clearly never afraid to experiment, the reality TV star usually sticks to longer, tumbling tresses rather than shorter looks.

Until now, that is.

Yesterday, Ms Kardashian stepped out for lunch in LA with the her husband of two-years rocking a seriously chic long bob that we just can't get enough of. 

That and she was ALL over Snapchat debuting the style – both at lunch and later as she attended the launch of sister Kylie Jenner's cosmetics line.

For their romantic meal-for-two – at the upmarket Ysabel eatery – Kimmy wore knit boots from her husband's Yzeey line, along with a khaki lace-up dress and a Louis Vuitton petite malle clutch.

The boots alone cost €840 while the designer bag would set you back a cool €3,850.

We're all for freedom of expression, but to compare Kim Kardashian's decision to strip off for Instagram with Adele's ability in the recording studio sounds just a little wide of the mark to us.

But that's just Kanye West for you, right?

While speaking to Harper's Bazaar, the acclaimed rapper paid tribute to his wife's enviable figure – so far, so standard – but then went on to insist that the notion of his wife hiding her curves from the wider public is comparable to Adele hanging up the mic for good.
 

 

When you're like I have nothing to wear LOL

"I think it’s important for Kim to have her figure. To not show it would be like Adele not singing," he said in an issue which is set to hit newsstands in September.

Hammering the point home in no uncertain terms, Kanye left readers in no doubt that every side is her best side when it comes to Kim.

"I love her nude selfies. Like, I love the ones from the side, the back ones, and the front. I just love seeing her naked; I love nudity," he confirmed for anyone still unsure.

Like the vast majority of us, Kanye is not immune to the image of a stunning woman, but insists Kim takes the concept to another level when she decides to bare all for millions.

It’s official – Kim Kardashian and Kanye West have the CUTEST kids on earth.

While the couple’s three-year-old daughter North has been rocking her celebrity status for a while now, until recently little had been seen of her younger brother Saint.

But it seems his parents have decided the seven-month-old is ready to make his Snapchat debut as Kim has used the popular app to share an adorable clip of Saint giggling in his pram.

The snap appeared just one day after Saint was seen attending his great-grandmother’s 82nd birthday party in San Diego which gives the impression he's already a busy little guy.

 

 

Saint seems to have inherited his family’s love for the camera so we’re hopeful we’ll be seeing plenty more of him in the near future.

It seems that little Saint West – although just seven months old – is already talking away to his besotted pregnant.

However, his mum Kim isn't too happy with what his first words are… namely because he's chatting about 'Dada' rather than 'Mama'.

The 36-year-old reality TV star told People magazine: "He said ‘dada’ today, three times and I was like ‘what’?

"Kanye was so excited. He was like 'I told him to say that.' I was like, 'I just really wanted him to say momma first'."

Kim, also mum to three-year-old North, was on the red-carpet at Hakkasan in Las Vegas on Friday, and was happy to chat away to press.

Looking super-slim, she furthermore revealed that she's down beyond her target post-baby weight of just 120lbs.

'I’m definitely to my goal weight,' Ms Kardashian told reporters.

She added that she was "down way more than I expected".
