Well, welcome to a new BuzzFeed series, where I brief you on all the times celebs did just that each week. Let's get into it:
1.Kris Jenner admitted that Kylie was her favorite daughter, while hooked up to a lie detector test:
Kris appeared on The Late Late Show with James Corden alongside Kylie, who asked, "Am I your favorite child?" Kris said yes, which was determined by the polygraph examiner to be the truth. Full story here.
2.Ray J released two lengthy videos, where he alleged Kris Jenner was the mastermind behind the release of his and Kim Kardashian's sex tape:
He also released alleged DMs between him and Kim, where he asks her and her family to stop pushing this narrative where he is villainized. Full story here.
3.Jimmy Kimmel faced backlash after he laid flat on the ground during Quinta Brunson's Emmy acceptance speech:
Quinta's category was presented by Will Arnett and Jimmy Kimmel, who did this bit where Jimmy laid flat on the ground because he had too many "skinny margaritas" after losing his category. You'd think that he'd end the whole lying-flat-on-the-ground bit and get up once Quinta had won, but nope, he kept lying there throughout her speech. People called him out for taking away from her moment. Full story here.
4.Kenan Thompson told this controversial joke about Leonardo DiCaprio and Zendaya at the Emmys Monday night:
There were definitely some "Oooohs" after that joke. Zendaya covered her face when Kenan said it. Full story here.
