Look what Taylor Swift made the internet do to her new song

Taylor Swift dropped a new single on the world late Thursday night called “Look What You Made Me Do,” a song that showcases why she thinks she’s a snake and why she thinks that’s OK. “I don’t trust nobody and nobody trusts me,” she sings in a tune that appears to be a diss track of either Kanye West, the media, all of her so-called haters, or some kind of combination thereof.

It’s also getting her roasted online. Everything from accusing her of ripping off the sounds of Right Said Fred and 30 Rock’s Jenna Maroney to its Billy Madison imagery is in the sights of Twitter.

First, listen to the song and read the lyrics.

Now, let the Twitter bashing begin.

So, @taylorswift13's #LookWhatYouMadeMeDo kindof reminds me of something. Wait for it… pic.twitter.com/oC8RnBFsfQ

(To be fair, Right Said Fred is actually credited as co-writing the song. That’s a serious sentence, by the way.)

People also seemed to really enjoy bashing the overdramatic lyrics that read, “I’m sorry, but the old Taylor can’t come to the phone right now. Why? Oh, ’cause she’s dead.”

It’s been a relatively rough couple of days for Swift on social media. When her cover art for the album Reputation was unveiled this week, everybody made fun of the graphic design. Now, “Look What You Made Me Do” has started the social media cycle all over again.

Sure, much of Twitter wasn’t happy with the song. Some apparently think it sucks. But at least somebody was pleased with her performance.

Thank you @taylorswift13 ❤️ what a marvellous reinvention! #imtoosexy #lookwhatyoumademedo https://t.co/malXQ8uMQe

Kim Kardashian admits which ‘Sex and the City’ character she is and fans are SHOOK

BY STEPHANIE DOWNS

Kim Kardashian may be one of the most famous women in the world, but that doesn’t mean that she still doesn’t have a few surprises left for her fans. In a new video for Ellen DeGeneres’ “Burning Questions” video series, Kim Kardashian revealed which Sex and the City character she is. Or at least the one she thinks she is, because her answer is pretty surprising.

In the video, Kardashian answers a flurry of fun questions and actually reveals a lot about herself. She says that she and husband Kanye West are in a “tie” when it comes to who has best fashion sense in their marriage. She also included an interesting tidbit about who she would like to play her in a movie, and it’s none other than her sister Kylie Jenner. A biopic about Kardashian starring Kylie Jenner? Please green-light this immediately! Kardashian’s also not afraid to show her funny side as she does a truly hilarious impression of her sister Kourtney Kardashian.

But what did she say when asked which SATC lady she is? Charlotte!

“I’ve always been such a Charlotte,” she says. “She was like, kind of conservative and whatever. And I know you guys would never believe that but I swear in high school at least I was.”

Even Kardashian knows that this revelation might be a bit surprising for fans. Kardashian as the more conservative Charlotte? According to the reality star herself, it’s more of a natural comparison than one might think.

This news may also be surprising to Kardashian’s sister Khloé Kardashian. In a post on her website in 2016, Khloé said both Kim and little sister Kylie Jenner were like Carrie. Khloé explained (via People), “They’re fashion and glamour obsessed thinkers!”

Khloé’s not wrong, and her assessment is probably more what fans would have expected from Kim’s own answer. She isn’t exactly the most conservative star out there right now, which is totally fine, but Charlotte probably wouldn’t ever be caught posing naked in a tree. Kim thinks she’s more like a Charlotte though, and she’d definitely know which Sex and the City character she is since she’s a total fan of the series.

So, where do the others in the Kardashian-Jenner family members land? Here’s where I would place them.

Kim already considers herself a Charlotte, and I think Kourtney would be a Charlotte, too. The oldest Kardashian sibling is a little bit more conservative than her sisters and likes to be more private. She told Natural Health Magazine (via Cosmopolitan), “I’ll set times, like, ‘On this day, I need everyone to leave me alone.’ Being able to communicate that is important. I do become a recluse once in a while. It’s so nice to just be at home and to not have to deal with the outside world.” Sounds like a Charlotte move.

Kendall is always keeping it real with her sisters on Keeping up with the Kardashians, just like Miranda would. And Mama Kris? She also has Miranda’s knack for realism and the smarts to back things up. The Kardashian-Jenner fam would probably not be where they are today without Kris’ Miranda-esque capabilities.

Khloé’s even said herself, “I guess that makes me Samantha, LOL!” when she shared who each of her sisters would be as Sex and the City characters on her app. Khloé, like Samantha on Sex and the City, is frequently the comic relief on KUWTK. She always has a hilarious one-liner at the ready. Khloé’s also not afraid to get a little raunchy sometimes, creating some truly funny moments on the fam’s E! series.

Kylie Jenner has to be the Carrie of the family. Like Khloé said before, she’s a “fashion and glamour obsessed thinker!” She also has her own show now, Life of Kylie, where she lets viewers in on what’s going on in her daily life. Sounds a lot like Carrie on Sex and the City, doesn’t it? Khloé may think Kylie and Kim are the Carries of the group, but to me, Kylie’s the only resident Carrie of the Kardashian-Jenner fam.

How’s that Sex and the City 3 movie coming along? In case the original cast isn’t up for another sequel, the Kardashians and Jenners would would be able to take things over seamlessly if need be. Now, they just need to figure out which one of their famous beaus would be Mr. Big.

Is Fenty Beauty By Rihanna Worth It? We Tried It & Here’s Our Review

In case you have no idea what’s going on in the beauty world rn (honestly I don’t blame you, some of that shit is frightening), Rihanna just came out with a new beauty line and people are losing their goddamn minds over it. Seriously. I went to Sephora the day after it launched and the sheer panic I saw on some people’s faces after they realized certain products were out of stock was akin to the panic I feel when I realize my roommate “mixed up” our wines the night before and now I’m stuck with warm moscato. But this is also coming from someone who ~~will do anything not to interact with other humans~~ prefers to online shop. Whatever. But, like, is braving a slightly deranged crowd with nothing but your bare hands to protect yourself with even worth it for Fenty? Lol of course it is, because everything Rihanna touches is fucking gold. Seriously, Rihanna says “jump” I say “how many bitches do you want me to cut for you?” And if you’re still feeling ~~like you’re scared to spend all of your money at Sephora~~ unsure about the beauty line, let me break it down for you because, yes, I’ve been there, tried the products, and tested the selfies. I take my journalistic integrity v seriously. So here’s an exclusive look at Rihanna’s Fenty line: the good, the meh, and the wtf did I just buy. You’re welcome.

THE GOOD

If anyone knows how to take your lip game next fucking level it’s Rihanna. The Glass Bomb Universal Lip Luminizer was my favorite product hands down of her new line. Instead of creating 50 million shades with names like “Tiger Orgasm” and “Underage”—looking at you, MAC—Rihanna decided not to fuck with any of that and chose to create just one shade in just one finish with the end result being rose gold perfection. The gloss has just the tiniest bit of shimmery particles in it, but it doesn’t feel super clumpy or sticky. Plus it’s loaded with shea butter so it’s hydrating AF.

I’ll admit I was v skeptical going into this because normally I prefer my lip color to be as dark as my soul and, like, what would a rose gold lip gloss say about me? That I’m open to people approaching me? That I’m pleasant to be around?? Nah, that sounds terrifying. But I should have known that Rihanna wouldn’t make a lip gloss unless it was edgy AF. Even though it’s a shade I wouldn’t normally wear, it enhances your pout in all the best ways and, honestly, I can’t argue with that.

Also, apparently Rihanna said she made this lip gloss because she “wanted the girls to get kissed more.” It’s good to know that Rihanna appreciates ~~me and my lifestyle~~ a hoe just trying to hoe.

THE MEH

“Meh” is maybe too negative of a word to encapsulate my feelings regarding the matchstick. Maybe the category could have been more aptly named “will buy to feel closer to Rihanna” because I actually liked the product overall, I just didn’t love it enough to endorse on my personal Instagram story. The matchsticks come in two different versions: SHIMMER to “highlight, blush, and enhance” and MATTE to “conceal, correct, and contour.” I went with a shimmer matchstick in starstruck because I am extra and I know it. The color was bomb and I felt like Rihanna right before she claps back in a press interview.

^^Literal mood wearing this highlighter

The matchsticks come in 10 shades so you can get as basic or as Bella Thorne as you want with it. And they’re all long wear, weightless, blendable and “LIVE to be layered.” My only complaint is that the matchstick didn’t rub in as easily as I expected it to. You really have to ~~give a minimal amount of effort~~ put some elbow grease into blending it, lest you end up looking fucking iridescent at your 9am department meeting.

THE WTF DID I JUST BUY

So I know I’m about to make myself v unpopular but I really didn’t like the foundation. *waits to be skewered in the comments* Something that may or may not have influenced this review was buying the wrong shade for my skin tone because the saleslady was looking at me like I was fresh meat and I panic in situations where I have to interact with strangers for more than five seconds. You know, hypothetically speaking of course. Even though I bought a shade of foundation that better complements the skin tone of a corpse, I found other issues with the product as well. But first let’s talk about what impressed me:

THE PROS: There’s over 40 shades of foundation to choose from and all skin tones are represented so, like, I’ll slow clap for that. It’s a beauty line that gives representation to women of color, which is fucking amazing and frankly way overdue.

THE CONS: It’s quick to dry so you need to move fast AF if you want to rub it all in before it dries. And since my average speed is “DMV worker” let’s just say I don’t move fast enough. When it does dry it has a super chalky finish to it. Instead of hiding all of my imperfections (lol as if I have any of those) it was magnifying them (again, if I had any). Seriously, there were pictures that were supposed to along with this review but they had to be destroyed because I looked like an actual mole person.

^^Actual footage of my trying on this foundation. #MaybeShesBornWithIt

Tbh I probs just don’t have the skin type for this shit. If you have more oily skin then you’ll love the Fenty foundation. If you have drier skin because you drink wine like it’s your suggested daily water intake then I’d suggest moisturizing the fuck out of your skin before applying the foundation. Using primer is also a must for this foundation prep. Since I like to do the literal bare minimum when it comes to my beauty routine, I wasn’t too impressed. Sorry, RiRi, but it’s a no from me.

FINAL VERDICT

Honestly, Rihanna could try to sell me shoe polish and call it a beauty product and I’d STILL be here for it. All my shit talking aside, let’s not pretend like I won’t spend this month’s rent on the rest of her beauty products.

Putin press secretary says Kremlin has learned a lot from Kim Kardashian

BTW

Does Vladimir Putin‘s press secretary have an opinion on Kim Kardashian? Of course.

In a recent New York Times piece about Russia’s growing media empire, Press Secretary Dmitri Peskov spoke about the massive dissemination of information online, and how Twitter has become a powerful agent of disruption. He singled out the influence of “this girl, from show business”: “Let’s imagine that one day she says, ‘My supporters—do this. This will be a signal that will be accepted by millions and millions of people. And she’s got no intelligence, no interior ministry, no defense ministry, no K.G.B.”

He continued: “The new reality creates a perfect opportunity for mass disturbances, or for initiating mass support or mass disapproval.”

Putin's press secretary sure makes it sound like Russia's gonna make Kim Kardashian our next president https://t.co/j7jzQTCnnk pic.twitter.com/6kU3oRD9iE

Does this mean Kardashian is an agent of chaos? Is she just hiding behind makeup tutorials? What does this tweet really mean?

H/T the Cut

JAY-Z Confirms One Fan Theory About His & Beyonc’s Twins’ Names But The Other Is Way Off!

Fans have long held theories about how

On Friday’s Rap Radar podcast, the Smile rapper explained:

“Rumi is our favorite poet, so it was for our daughter.”

That’s beautiful. Seeing as that was the only Rumi we knew for a long time, we had kinda guessed that one. But what about the Beyhive’s guess that Sir was named after one of Bey’s fave makeup artists?

Jay’s explanation of his son’s name does not include Sir John at all. Instead Jay says:

“And then Sir was, like, man, come out the gate. He carries himself like that. He just came out, like, Sir.”

So it was all about his commanding personality? No namesake at all?

Damn, sorry, Sir John. And Sir Ben Kingsley. LOLz!

Innerestingly, this also tells us that at least Sir for sure was named after the birth, after they had already met him. And here we thought they were keeping the secret for months…

Video: Watch Beyoncé Fangirl Over Kendrick Lamar

Jay also spilled about how Blue Ivy Carter ended up doing her freestyle rap on his new album 4:44:

“She got the headphones and she climbed on the little stool, and then she just started rapping… I was like, ‘Oh shit!’ I have [the whole thing] on my phone. Five minutes! Five minutes of her doing that.”

Aww! We love what a proud poppa he is!

“She kept doing that ‘boom shakalaka, boom shakalaka’. I was like, ‘Oh, she understands the concept of a hook.’ She’s 5, and she understands the concept of a hook.”

For a rap mogul, that must be better than first steps!

Justin Bieber Makes Apperance After Selena Gomez Hack & He Looks So Happy

Justin Bieber, America’s favorite bad boy, is not feeling bad anymore. After much controversy over his canceled world tour and randomly showing up naked on Selena Gomez’s Instagram account (thanks to a hacker), he’s had somewhat of a rough year. I mean, we got “Despacito” from him, so he’s not doing bad, but you get it. On Tuesday, Aug. 29, 2017, the Biebs was spotted outside of the restaurant Il Pastaio in Beverly Hills, grinning from cheek-to-cheek, and I need to know why. If Justin Beiber looks happy after Selena Gomez’s Instagram hack, I seriously need to figure out my life, because that was pretty bad.

The Instagram post included a series of Bieber d*ck pics cropped together. The caption also included some weird, explicit language, even going so far as to call Bieber “LIL SHRIMPY.” I know, it’s really odd. The Bieber images are the same exact ones that were published after the superstar’s Bora Bora vacation in 2015. He was photographed naked by the paparazzi, and everyone sort of freaked out, including Bieber. I mean, who wouldn’t?

So, now the mystery remains. Was Bieber smiling because he’s proud of his naked pics? Is Selena Gomez back in his life? Does he just really love juice? The smile seems pretty genuine, if you ask me!

Bieber could be grinning because he’s grateful to be walking! He was recently in the news because of a hospital scare due to “swollen testicles.” Yes, his balls were swollen. Of course, that’s not all that happened, though. According to TMZ, Beiber went to the ER back in May of 2017 over a soccer injury that possibly twisted one of his testicles. Ouch. According to reports, one of the hospital staffers, Kelly Lombardo, was accused of illegally accessing Bieber’s medical files, but Lombardo claims that it’s all a lie. Now, she’s taking the hospital to court over it. Note to self: this is all about Bieber’s balls. We’re just happy that he’s happy. That’s all that matters.

Marilyn Manson SLAMS ‘Piece Of Shit’ Justin Bieber!

It’s safe to say Marilyn Manson is NOT a Belieber!

Last summer, designer Fear Of God repurposed a vintage Manson tee that read “Bigger Than Satan… Bieber,” which sold for $195 at Barney’s.

At the time, FOG’s Jerry Lorenzo wrote on Instagram that the rocker gave him permission to produce the Justin Bieber t-shirt:

“Thank you Marilyn Manson for signing off on the ‘Bigger Than Satan’ JB T-shirt. Thanks for understanding our approach and reinterpreting your vision. I never would have thought that printing on my vintage T-shirt collection would take me this far.”‘

However, in a recent interview with Consequence of Sound, the Antichrist Superstar paints a different picture.

When MM first met JB, the pop star “was [already] wearing the shirt that had his name on my shirt, and he said to me, ‘I made you relevant again.”‘

Why are we not surprised by this?

After the awkward meeting, Manson decided to punk Bieber by telling “him I’d be at his soundcheck at Staples Center to do Beautiful People… he believed that I’d show up, because he was that stupid.”

To this day, the 48-year-old still harbors resentment over the 23-year-old’s “arrogance.”

“He was a real piece of shit in the way he had the arrogance to say that… He was a real touchy-feely guy, too, like, ‘Yo yo bro!’ and touches you when he’s talking. I’m like, you need to stand down, you’re dick height on me, ok? Alright? So stand down, son.”‘

At the very least, the shock rocker “took all the proceeds from those shirts from him. They didn’t even fight, they were just like, ‘Yea, we already know, we did wrong, so here’s the money.”‘

Oh Justin…

Selena Gomez’s Kidney Donor Is A Familiar Face You Might Know

Selena Gomez revealed this morning, Sept. 14, that she had a kidney transplant earlier this summer as part of treatment for her lupus. And considering how much of a Freeform stan you are, you may know who her donor is. Gomez’s post included three pictures: one of her scar from the surgery, one of her during recovery, and one of her and her donor, Francia Raisa, in the hospital together (it’s not clear if the photo was taken before or after the surgery). So, who is Francia Raisa? She’s one of Gomez’s closest friends and is the former star of . Remember Adrian on the then-ABC Family show? That’s Francia Raisa. Gomez said her “beautiful friend” gave her the “ultimate gift and sacrifice” by donating her kidney to the singer. The post said,

I’m very aware some of my fans had noticed I was laying low for part of the summer and questioning why I wasn’t promoting my new music, which I was extremely proud of. So I found out I needed to get a kidney transplant due to my Lupus and was recovering. It was what I needed to do for my overall health. I honestly look forward to sharing with you, soon my journey through these past several months as I have always wanted to do with you. Until then I want to publicly thank my family and incredible team of doctors for everything they have done for me prior to and post-surgery. And finally, there aren’t words to describe how I can possibly thank my beautiful friend Francia Raisa. She gave me the ultimate gift and sacrifice by donating her kidney to me. I am incredibly blessed. I love you so much sis. Lupus continues to be very misunderstood but progress is being made. For more information regarding Lupus please go to the Lupus Research Alliance website: www.lupusresearch.org/ -by grace through faith.

So here’s everything you need to know about Selena Gomez’s kidney donor Francia Raisa:

She and Gomez have been friends since before Gomez dated Justin Bieber.

The pair have been good friends for a long time. Back in 2013, they posted a video of them and three of their friends dancing to the song “Everybody Knows (Douchebag).” The video shows Gomez, Raisa, and three other friends laughing and enjoying themselves while dancing to the tune.

She was at the premiere to support Gomez.

Mark Ralston/Getty Images

Gomez was an executive producer on the powerful/super controversial show, so the actress came out to support her friend at the Netflix premiere of

She uses Teyana Taylor as workout inspiration because obviously.

When I don’t feel like working out I go to @TEYANATAYLOR page to get my ass up off the couch. She gives me life!

— Francia Raisa (@therealfrancia) September 10, 2017

Teyana Taylor is the dancer who broke the internet when she starred in Kanye West’s “Fade” music video. You know who we’re talking about.

Giphy

She’s coming back to Freeform to star as a series regular in the spinoff, g.

Raisa will be co-starring alongside Yara Shahidi in the spinoff of ABC’s hit comedy. The show is currently filming its first season and will premiere on Freeform in Jan. 2018.

She’s still pals with her cast mates.

Adrian and Grace were enemies-turned-best friends on , but IRL, Raisa and Megan Park are good pals!

She’s actually an insane dancer.

Girl, ! I am personally terrified of dancing in high heels, so more power to you, Francia. You slayed that sh*t.

You saw her on Season 1 of Netflix’s .

She was one of Gabe’s friends who hosted the dinner party Gabe and Sam attended in episode seven.

She has an excellent doggo.

Her dog’s name is Roman and 13/10 people would cuddle him.

Raisa and Gomez’s birthdays are only four days apart.

Although Raisa was born in 1988 and Gomez was born in 1992, friends having birthdays so close together is always a fun thing to be able to celebrate! And given their amazing friendship, they sure have a lot to be happy about.

Selena Gomez Reveals She Got A Kidney Transplant In Emotional Instagram Post

In a moving Instagram post this morning, Sept. 14, Selena Gomez revealed she had a kidney transplant as part of her treatment for lupus. Gomez first announced she had lupus in Oct. 2015. The announcement came with the news that she had undergone chemotherapy in order to treat the illness. She also had to cancel some tour dates back in 2013 in order to deal with symptoms. The post says,

I’m very aware some of my fans had noticed I was laying low for part of the summer and questioning why I wasn’t promoting my new music, which I was extremely proud of. So I found out I needed to get a kidney transplant due to my Lupus and was recovering. It was what I needed to do for my overall health. I honestly look forward to sharing with you, soon my journey through these past several months as I have always wanted to do with you. Until then I want to publicly thank my family and incredible team of doctors for everything they have done for me prior to and post-surgery. And finally, there aren’t words to describe how I can possibly thank my beautiful friend Francia Raisa. She gave me the ultimate gift and sacrifice by donating her kidney to me. I am incredibly blessed. I love you so much sis. Lupus continues to be very misunderstood but progress is being made. For more information regarding Lupus please go to the Lupus Research Alliance website: www.lupusresearch.org/ -by grace through faith

Ever since she made her struggle with lupus public, Gomez has been an advocate of spreading awareness about the disease. According to LupusReasearch.org, lupus is,

One of many disorders of the immune system known as autoimmune diseases. In autoimmune diseases, the immune system turns against parts of the body it is designed to protect. This leads to inflammation and damage to various body tissues. Lupus can affect many parts of the body, including the joints, skin, kidneys, heart, lungs, blood vessels, and brain. Although people with the disease may have many different symptoms, some of the most common ones include extreme fatigue, painful or swollen joints (arthritis), unexplained fever, skin rashes, and kidney problems.

Gomez spent some time in rehab in 2014 following her diagnosis, as her mental health was severely affected by the illness. Her mother also suffered a miscarriage around the same time, so she said she needed some time “to be OK.” Gomez also took a break from work in 2016 to focus on her health. She said in a statement to CNN, “I’ve discovered that anxiety, panic attacks and depression can be side effects of lupus, which can present their own challenges. I want to be proactive and focus on maintaining my health and happiness and have decided that the best way forward is to take some time off.”

If the woman in Gomez’s post about the transplant looks familiar, that’s because you’ve probably seen her on TV before. Francia Raisa is one of Gomez’s closest friends who is most well known for her role of Adrian on . The 29-year-old has appeared in other movies/shows since ended and was just cast as a series regular for the spinoff, g, set to air on Freeform. Gomez showed her a lot of love and gratitude in her post from this morning, saying she gave her “the ultimate gift and sacrifice.”

Gomez’s post also includes a personal photo of the scar from her surgery and another photo of her during her recovery process. She says she’s excited to share her journey this past summer with her fans and encourages people to learn more about lupus by visiting LupusResearch.org. According to the National Resource Center on Lupus, 1.5 million Americans are currently living with lupus and as many as 5 million people worldwide have been diagnosed with the illness, so it’s a brave thing Gomez is doing by allowing herself to be vulnerable with the world about her disease in order to raise awareness.

Kim Kardashian Speaks Out About Surrogate Rumors: “We’ve Never Confirmed Anything”

Unless you’ve been living under a rock for the past decade, you know that you shouldn’t mess with the Kardashians. Earlier this summer, Kim Kardashian and Kanye West may have reportedly hired a surrogate to carry their third child, but you’re not going to pry juicy deets out of the reality star. In fact, she took to the red carpet for New York Fashion Week on Sept. 8 and refused to say much about her family. However, Kim Kardashian address surrogate rumors to E! News, and what she said will probably shock you.

But first, let’s back up a bit. According to a report from TMZ, Kardashian and West opted to hire a surrogate to carry their child because Kardashian struggled with two very difficult pregnancies. Sources also told People Magazine that Kardashian and West have been “incredibly involved” in the process and are “super adamant” that their surrogate eats a healthy diet. One source explained,

Kim and Kanye both want the healthiest baby possible and are making sure the surrogate is abiding by the routine they’ve set for her.

Believe it or not, Kardashian (kind of) addressed the speculation on Sept. 8 when she spoke to E! News. She confirmed that she heard the rumors but wouldn’t be commenting the surrogacy yet. Kim said,

I’ve definitely seen a lot of things, we’ve never confirmed anything. So, I think when we’re ready to talk about it we will, and I think it’s super invasive when people are just… So many details out there, and like I’ve never heard this, I’ve never heard this. Like whatever.

We have not confirmed it, and that’s that. I’ll let you know when we’re ready.

Pierre Suu/Getty Images

All speculation aside, Kardashian has definitely spoken openly about the incredible amount of pain she experienced during her previous two pregnancies. This was due to a life-threatening condition called placenta accreta, which involves the placenta embedding too deeply into the uterus. After giving birth to North West, Kim K penned a candid account of the experience on her blog. She wrote,

My doctor had to stick his entire arm in me and detach the placenta with his hand, scraping it away from my uterus with his fingernails. How disgusting and painful!!! My mom [Kris Jenner] was crying; she had never seen anything like this before. My delivery was fairly easy, but then going through that — it was the most painful experience of my life! They gave me a second epidural but we were racing against time, so I just had to deal.”

While she’s clearly being quiet at the moment, Kardashian already opened up about the fact that that her and West definitely want a third child. Back in August, she told that the two were still trying for a baby, saying,

I hope so. There have been a lot of things said, and Kanye and I have not confirmed anything. We’re definitely trying. We are hoping so.

Excruciating pain and surrogacy rumors aside, the good news is that the couple is expecting a girl, which means that the Kardashian dynasty shall live on forever and ever. Are any of us really complaining? I mean, that just means that somewhere down the line, we’ll gain one more impeccably curated Instagram account to obsess over and quietly feel weird amounts of jealousy from.

Let’s face it: when West and Kardashian set their minds on having a baby, they go for it. Loyal fans might remember that back in 2015, Kim K said the couple was having sex “500 times a day” in an effort to procreate. And they were doing it pretty much .

I was like, ‘I’m ovulating today!’ So I made him come to my photo shoot. You know what, I don’t feel bad about that for one second. You gotta get it in where you can get it in.

Yup, you do you, Kim. Whether all of this surrogate business is true or not, the world will definitely welcome another sassy, shiny-haired Kardashian into the mix.

Francia Raisa ‘grateful’ to donate kidney to Selena Gomez

Francia Raisa’s Mother Denies Any Money Changed Hands Between Selena Gomez & Her Daughter!

We are so inspired by the friendship between

But in a new interview with

Momma confirms her girl is already back at work:

“She’s actually filming a TV show that’s called Grown-ish [a spinoff of Black-ish], and she’s just going about her normal life… Thank God they’re both doing great. Thankfully the kidney was compatible and that everything came out perfectly.”

When asked whether any money changed hands, Almendarez flatly denies it:

“No, not even a single penny. Some people are treating this as if there was money involved. Francia did it for friendship, for her love for Selena, and because they care a lot for each other. She didn’t receive any benefit from this, only the benefit of Selena having a better life.”

So amazing!

And of course Selena’s mother Mandy Teefey thought so, too! Virginia says when the two moms finally saw one another they simply hugged, Mandy saying:

“I don’t know what to say.”

Virginia says the surgery has (understandably) brought the two friends closer together:

“The love between them has really grown. Selena is a great girl, and she also has a big heart, as does Francia. I’m very proud of both of them. Francia has a huge heart because not anyone would just let go of one of their organs to give it to someone else.”

No kidding! A huge heart and compatible kidneys! What a perfect friend!
