Kendall & Kylie Jenner’s MMVA ‘scream’ promo: obnoxious or cute?

Kylie Jenner

Khloe Kardashian already won the Klan prize for most idiotic Instagram shot of the week. Her youngest sisters, Kylie and Kendall Jenner, are perhaps the most prolific of the family when it comes to posting shots to social media. They’ve been furiously Instagramming selfies lately, and I’m including several recent examples. Kylie’s been showing off her duckface skills, two-toned hair, and bikini shots (she is still 16). Kendall goes for the understated, slightly glamorous poses.

Both sisters are completely over-the-top in this new promo for the Much Music Video Awards. Kylie and Kendall are co-hosting the awards together on June 15. This could be an utter disaster because Kendall flubbed her 15-second presentation at the Billboard Awards last month. I still don’t know if that “mistake” was planned or not. It definitely generated enough publicity, which was a great lead-in for a real hosting gig. This promo is so crazy that you have to see it for yourself:

Creepy, right? Kylie pretended to be a murder victim, Kendall did her best American Psycho impression (nice unintentional nod to Scott Disick there), and then Kylie presented a rat for lunch. These two are pretty awful actresses. I can’t tell if they’re making fun of themselves or fully believe that they’re doing a good job at being funny. I guess we’ll see what happens when more “mistakes” happen during the hosting gig.

    Kylie is going to turn out most like Kim. That child craves attention like no other , her selfies have been highly inappropriate for years ( butt shots , bikini shots… ) I get she’s 16 but what about when she was 14 , and so on. I don’t understand why these young “celebs” ( jenners, smiths…) are allowed to act like they are grown adults , it’s gross. I also wouldn’t be surprised if plastic surgery , fillers etc have been introduced to these two or being atleast being pushed.

    • Tapioca says:

      She’s undoubtedly had her lips done already and they actually look OK-ish, right?

      Kylie’s my favourite because she wants to BE A STAR, goddammit, and is clearly counting down the days until her 18th birthday and she can finally film that sex tape.

      As you point out, the Kim is strong in this one!

      • Ag says:

        that was my first thought – holy crap, did she already have lip injections?! she’s 16, FFS!

      • Erinn says:

        as far as lip injections go, they’re good. I mean, if everyone who got them done ended up with lips like that it wouldn’t be awful.

      • MCraw says:

        That lip job is so obvious and came here just to say that.

        What a pathetic thing to promote in your teenage daughter/sister.

      • betsyd says:

        The photo of Kylie in the black shirt, pinching her lower lip actually looks like she did a serious lip-lining job.

        On the other hand, injections at 16 wouldn’t surprise me.

      • Dee says:

        Her lips are so pumped full of collagen that a before and after would probably equal Khloe’s ass of lies. It’s a joke. None of these girls have their real lips. Not even Kendal, her’s is just more subtle.

    • JudyK says:

      Why are they all trying to look like Kim? What happened to individuality!

      They are all beginning to look like Robotic Kim Mannequins.

      • Ag says:

        they all want to be, as Michael K calls her, the prize pig of the family. haha

      • Alexi says:

        ABOUT THE LIP INJECTIONS… I thought so to but ZOOM in at the picture of Kylie and you’ll see it’s makeup… You can see the line where the lips end and the makeup continues

      • serena says:

        Individuality? The Kardashian Klan demands you all look kind of the same, plastic is better, and so on.

        Now she has a “natural” duckface, lol.

      • Size Does Matter says:

        I don’t think they’re trying to look like Kim. Even Kim isn’t trying to look like Kim. They’re all shooting for this cartoonish, overly exaggerated feminine “ideal” of pillow lips, six inch long eyelashes, cheekbones, big rack, small waist, wrinkle-free/expressionless beyond “come hither,” waist length hair (except Kylie, till the extensions come back, thigh gap, and bootilicious. None of which is real. That’s how they all wind up looking the same or similar, many many many celebrities included but the Ks to the highest degree.

      • TheOriginalKitten says:

        @Alexi-she does have lipliner outside of lips but look at Lucy’s post down below. There is NO DOUBT she’s had a bunch of stuff done to her face.
        So sad..

      • yolo112 says:

        …yeah… I guess I never noticed (or cared to..??) but damn…the Kardashian gene is really coming out with these 2 now. I bet Kylie got a bunch of stuff done because she was said to be the “less pretty” of the 2…god these kids are so f@#%ed… the 1st pic looks like a mixed of young Madonna and Ass of Lies.

    • Sam says:

      Her lips do look different, however seeing as she is just a young girl – I’m inclined to think that she hasn’t had injections (or at the very least not to the extent that we think!).

      There are some comparison pictures online and if you look at most of them, you can actually see her natural lips underneath the make up. She is applying some serious lining and colour wa-ay outside of her natural line, filling in her cupids bow and also used a darker pencil to create the illusion of a fuller shape. That combined with the pout makes them look seriously enhanced!

  2. BeckyR says:

    Their constant need for attention grates. Why don’t they just scream, “Look at ME”!!!!

    • Patricia says:

      It’s grating as hell and I also get such a feeling of exhaustion from Kylie. Like, she exhausts me. And I’m barely exposed to her! She’s just so needy and self-obsessed, with the selfies and the inappropriate shots. I’ve looked at her insta a few times out of curiosity and was like whoaaaa girl you’re tiring me out with the narcissism.

      • watchmaker says:

        @Patricia: Total agreement. E! had a KUWTK marathon yesterday, beginning with the first show (2007) I never watched this show. So I did. I could not believe Kylie’s behavior!! She was trying to get everyone’s attention, anyway she could.

        FIRST EPISODE showed a bartender teaching Kylie, and Kendall how to make alcoholic drinks for the guests at PMK’s party. PMK did tell the girls how that wasn’t appropriate, and brought them inside.

        SECOND EPISODE……Brody was watching Kylie and Kendall. Everyone else in Mexico for Girls Gone Wild bathing suit shoot.
        At one point, Kendall asked Brody what GGW was. KYLIE said: “isn’t that the show where girls lift their shirts?” She proceeded to lift her shirt up. She keep running around doing that. THEN Brody’s friend came over and the girls were chasing him around. The girls were in PMK bedroom, and starting playing on the stripper pole, which Kylie age nine or ten at that time, really knew how to work that pole like a pro! Kendall took out a video camera starting filming Kylie on the pole. Brody’s friend came in, took the video camera, proceeded to film Kylie, and making comments about how he should be their manager etc, etc..I felt uncomfortable watching that…I stopped watching, and thought WTF was that?

        I really needed that emergency eye wash station to remove that dirty shit from my eyes……. Jeez!

    • Sabrine says:

      I don’t know why people are so interested in commenting on a couple of teenagers who are far from their own age demographic. What’s the complete and utter fascination evident by all the commenting on these two? They’re probably perfectly fine to others in their age group. Are you having a problem with Kylie’s lips? She’s got them enlarged with makeup as anyone can do who knows what they’re doing.

      • Léah says:

        As a 17 year old, I’d just like to say.. No, we aren’t all like this. I’m working and going to school. I don’t put on tons of makeup to take pictures (or do anything for that matter. ). AND I CAN READ.

    • Dorothy#1 says:

      Wow! You are right!

    • louise sawyer says:

      There’s even such a thing as a BROW LIFT?!
      What the … Couldn’t it be done with some sort of magic make-up twist?
      (I never wear make-up, that’s why I ask…)

      • Jules says:

        Yes, there is a brow lift.

      • Patricia says:

        Yep and if there’s one plastic surgery I would ever do it’s a brow lift. I pull my brows up in the mirror and it looks awesome, no makeup can do it.
        But…. I’m 31!

      • nima1 says:

        You can also have a brow lift done with botox….its quite amazing and no down time, etc…

    • Tifygodess24 says:

      There’s talk she also had implants , apparently there’s a trend for younger girls to get the implants in earlier so that way it can be perceived as a growth spurt and not plastic surgery. It’s disturbing that there are doctors that would work on young children like that. If you look at the stats for cosmetic procedures done in the past few years the ages are getting younger and younger.

    • Dani2 says:

      Yeah, I know people change as they age and obviously, they wear a lot of makeup constantly in that family but goodness, she’s only 16. She looks like a completely different person. It’s actually really sad tbh. When I look at her, I just feel really sad, and it makes me dislike Kris all the more.

      • Lucky says:

        I was just going to say the same thing. It’s doesn’t even look like her. What are these girls going to look like at 35? Their “mother'” is such an awful, awful person. I hope her eventual down slide is painful

    • Jackson says:

      She looks like Lohan in the first comparison pic from 2014. Same fake lips, same nose.

    • Eleonor says:

      Whoever did that should be arrested.
      Unless you have medical reason you can’t change the face of a person during the teen years !!!

    • Mayamae says:

      The tip of her nose is different. Even Kim didn’t start this young!

      • serena says:

        that says a lot… didn’t even think about the brows lift and the nose, but I can see it now.. It’s really terrible.

    • Chris says:

      God this is so sad. Parents who allow this to happen to their kids should be investigated.

    • Happy21 says:

      That is f**king disgusting. This family has it an all time low. I just can’t anymore. It makes me want to cry that young girls think that this is desirable and pretty. It’s not natural and it’s not normal. God, I’m glad I don’t have daughters in this day and age!

    • RJ says:

      holy crap! she is morphing into fembot kim

    • Shelby says:

      Shes morphing into Kim

  3. Dame Snarkweek says:

    I’ve noticed that PMK could not quite make Kylie or Kendall happen on their own so she shops them as a set, which seems to be working. But I remember way back when Kendall was a cheerleader in middle school and said in an interview that she wasn’t really into clothes and boys as much as was assumed about her. Idk but you do get the impression that these Kardashians just might have been tolerable people if they weren’t willing to do anything to keep the mom happy. Sad.

    • Bridget says:

      I don’t think it’s just wanting to please the mom, though. Most (if not all) of that family saw the lure of easy money and fame, and made their own choice to take that path as well. It amazes me that the children of an Olympic athlete would value hard work so little. It’s easy to blame PMK, but that whole family still made their own choices.

    • Dame Snarkweek says:

      I see what you mean but when the Jenner girls were small, for example, they saw that mama idolizes you if you’re bringing attention and fame to the family. So I don’t know if they unconsciously absorbed that lesson or if they organically wanted the fame and would’ve chased it anyway. Chicken or egg?

      • Bridget says:

        I haven’t actually seen a lot of KUWTK but I’ve seen a little, and one of the constant themes with the non-Kim’s wasn’t that Kris was trying to pump them so much as she wasn’t pumping them hard enough. Kris Jenner is an awful person but none of her children are innocent lambs being led to the slaughter, even the younger ones. They have ALL succumbed to the lure of easy money and fame. Obviously nurture plays into this to an extent – if you live in a family that prizes fame above all else of course that’s going to influence your system of values, but still ultimately they have all made a very intentional choice to be a part of the Kardashian machine. Even sad Rob, even niceKourtney, even littlest Kylie.

      • Dame Snarkweek says:

        I do not disagree but I think results do not *always* speak to the process. If your mom/family is vapid and greedy it must be difficult to cultivate inner reserves that lead you down a different path. It is not impossible, however, so I can understand holding the girls responsible for their own actions. But it doesn’t seem a foregone conclusion to me.
        Either way thank you for the discourse 🙂

  4. louise sawyer says:

    Ahaha, Kendall looks just like (the new, after-Kanye) Kim in that last picture while Kylie, with her posing (and new lips) looks like Khloé (with her new lips).

  5. Maria says:

    They’re fake.

    Fake tan, lip injections, photos filtered to the gods….

    Can’t stand any of that family.

  6. NewWester says:

    I still do not get why Kendall and Kylie are hosting this show. What do they have to do with music ? Is it because Kayne West is their brother in law? Or because big sister Kim starred in a porn with Ray J?
    The only good thing about this is being able to read the comments on Celebitchy the next day!!!

  7. Dani2 says:

    Kylie seems like she’s really proud of her new lips. And they both suck at presenting so I’m not looking forward to seeing the clips of their inevitable mess-ups at all.

    • TheOriginalKitten says:

      It’s just mind-boggling…al the talented people out there and these two get the gig.
      WTF is wrong with this country?

      • me says:

        Much Music Awards is a Canadian award show…so there is something wrong with Canada as well lol.

      • TheOriginalKitten says:

        Oh oops! Thanks for the clarification 🙂
        There’s something wrong with this CONTINENT.

        Shame on you, Canada. First Bieber and now this nonsense.

      • word says:

        LOL exactly ! Bieber and Mayor Rob Ford were enough…now the Jenners. Who knows, maybe Khloe and Kourtney will open a Dash store in Canada….Kourtney and Khloe take Toronto. The Kardashians are like an infection…they just keep on spreading.

      • Dani2 says:

        @TOK lol yes, very disappointed in Canada right now, you can do better!

  8. kcarp says:

    Hate me, all I thought was wow what pretty girls. Take all the surgeries away and Kim is really the least attractive of the bunch. Before all Kim’s surgeries she looked like a hairy beast. Now she at least looks like a clean shaven beast.

  9. Jules says:

    I shudder at the young women that admire this family. Seriously?

    • Dani2 says:

      I shudder too but the younger tumblr demographic pretty much worships these two, it’s sad this is honestly what some young, impressionable girls will think that they should aspire to.

      • TheOriginalKitten says:

        Are you serious?
        That depresses me to no end.

      • me says:

        Yup that is true. Guys also think Kendal and Kylie are “hot”…so of course girls want to look like them.

      • littlestar says:

        Don’t worry, the kids who worship them now will eventually grow up and the infatuation will fade away. It’s the same as those Bielebers. They are all growing up and Bieber is slowing starting to lose his fans now.

  10. Dawn says:

    I used to feel sorry for both girls because I thought they had the chance to escape the Kardashian narcissistic lifestyle but I don’t any longer. I’ve read horrible stories about 16 year old Kylie Jenner demanding booze and screaming at people as if they all work for her and then I read the N.Y. Post article about that wedding and that she and Jaden Smith were caught doing more than just making out and in the “golden toilet” no less. Of course she is following in Km and Khloe’s footsteps and the lip filler is just the beginning. Kendall could have escaped this lot too and done something worthwhile with her life but nope she too decided to live more like a Kardashian girl then a Jenner. I find these two sad.

    • hunaww says:

      Oh please can you send me the link of that N.Y Post article? I want to read it

      • Dawn says:

        Oh I don’t have it anymore But I got it from this site! So if you look on some back pages you can find it.

  11. eliza says:

    Sad that Kylie has obviously been messing with her face in a BIG way. That young lady does not even look like herself any longer and it is not because her face has matured. Kendall still looks the same but Kylie has definitely had a nose job, lip injections and possibly cheek fillers.

    If you are going to have a nose job, at least wait until you are in your 20’s and have your adult face. Sad when a teenager is raised in a family of superficial women and starts the procedures so early.

    • Mingy says:

      ITA, and she sure seems pleased with her new self.

    • Nicolette says:

      I’m probably in the minority here, and yes she is young to have had so much work done, but I think she looks great. Can’t believe I’m complimenting a Kardashian, ooops I mean Jenner (what’s the difference really) but I am.

      • me says:

        She does look very pretty. I think she had stuff done to her face now instead of a few years from now because PMK needs her 10%. She needs Kylie to get modelling gigs and hosting gigs NOW while their family is still in the spotlight. She knows their time to make money is limited. This family believes their looks are all they need to get ahead, and so far it has worked for them. It’s obvious Kylie has had a number of things done to her face. She also looks like she had her face sculpted because it’s shape has changed. She is the same weight yet her face is thinner. If you look at footage of Kylie at Kim’s engagement she looks much different than she does now and that was only 8 months ago. I know the Kardashians love to claim “it’s just make-up tricks” but come on, make-up can’t do THAT much…plus Kylie was wearing a lot of make-up even at 13.

      • Sea Dragon says:

        I agree with everyone’s shade- her family, what they encourage, what they aspire to and embrace is wrong on almost every conceivable level but… sigh… Kylie looks prettier than before.

      • Joh says:

        As a 60 yr old, let me say most 16 yr olds are adorable.
        What is so sad here is the loss of any individuality .
        True beauty often needs a flaw to really be spectacular.
        And Kim looks casket sharp, like the undertaker got to her.
        These 2 will look 30 by the time they hit 20.

  12. Nev says:

    gorgeous girls!!!!

    hahahaha love it!

  13. Ellie66 says:

    Damn a brow-lift at 16? That’s a whole lotta of plastic surgery for a young girl. But I hate to say it she looks better😁. The older one looks just like Angie Harmon from Law and Order and Rizzoli and Isles. She is very pretty. Sadly their mother (cough) has given them a whole set of body issues and future therapy bills.

  14. Sara says:

    I know this sounds sanctimonious, and I don’t have to click on the story, etc. But surely we can agree that in Kylie’s case, we’re talking about a minor and her family is clearly putting her in harm’s way? I can’t understand stage parents at all, and whenever I see child actors I can’t help thinking that odds are their parents were pushing them unhealthily. In the best of cases, child actors become cosseted stunted people, in the worst of cases they end up ruined hasbeens with their life behind them in their twenties. In France, children actors cannot have access to their money until they hit 18, to avoid parental abuse such as in the Culkin family…

    • Ag says:

      it screams parental neglect. kids need freaking rules and a stable structure, adolescence is crazy enough on its own. i feel bad for those girls, esp the youngest one. PMK thinks nothing of selling them for some cash, instead of being a parental figure to them.

  15. kimber says:

    1.Kylie is prettier than Kendal -never noticed before. With that written Kylie does need to step one foot back from the make up before it crosses to sad wannabe.

    2-is their momager trying to turn them into an Olsen twin in the business thing? “This one is so edgy and that one is kinda glamorous” generic marketing to tweets…

    3- I’d totally hate to know them in person bc they seem truly boring and predictable

    4-wonder if momager controls posts about them like Lea’s people do?

    • AmyLynne says:

      Lea’s people control posts? Geez.

    • serena says:

      Though they’re not twins. She has already a Klown-face, product of the Kardashian brand.

    • Lex says:

      “Kylie is prettier..”

      It is passing statements like that that made poor Kylie mess with her face at age 16! Kendall was always proclaimed to be the pretty one.

      Why is everything a comparison?

  16. Patty Cake says:

    I’m so proud of Kendall for getting out of the show Keeping It Up With The Kardashians. Many folks questioned why she was getting her own place so soon. Then the news came out that she wanted to focus on her modeling career. I’m so proud of her. She, to me, is the only one with any backbone to stand up to Lucifer’s home girl. It didn’t matter to Kendall that the place she bought was budget because she is the only one that has morals, I think. Folks on another site we’re saying she can’t read and this and that. I was annoyed because people don’t know what the girl can do. I know when I was a teen, I suffered really bad from S.A.D and when spoken to sounded very uneducated. It wasn’t because I couldn’t read, it was just because I was super shy and would get super anxious about speaking. I’m glad that Kendall has her own mind & is willing to forge her own way financially to see that she is no longer exploited on the show. That had to have been hard to stand up to her mom. Kendall I’m super proud of you!

    • Bridget says:

      You just called a $1.6 million dollar apartment budget.

      • Patty Cake says:

        I said that because folks on this sir that live in the same state Kendall does said that that price was standard in their area, and that she probably should have spent a little more for a nicer area and a nicer place. I get what you’re saying though . I live in the south & a 1.4 million dollar condo is really luxurious by southern standards.

  17. B says:

    It is really sad because my 13 year old niece is obsessed with Kylie Jenner and thinks she looks like perfection. I keep trying to tell her this is all plastic surgery. its so painfully obvious. And disturbing. Apparently fake is the new ideal.

    • Nicolette says:

      Sadly fake has been the ideal for a while now, at all age levels. Between photoshop, surgery, and pounds of make up there is little reality in what we’re looking at when it comes to celebs. For girls your niece’s age, it is particularly hard because they don’t get the concept of smoke and mirrors just yet.

    • We Are All Made of Stars says:

      No you two, fake is the new REAL! It’s been that way for awhile now. None of these people have had plastic surgery except for Bruce, remember? 🙂

  18. TX Laney says:

    That top pic reminds me of my chola cousin

  19. me says:

    Of course they are putting out a lot of selfies right now, their new season starts soon, they need as much pr as possible. If this season doesn’t generate high enough ratings, E may not renew their contracts. This is their last season under their current contract.

  20. Hissyfit says:

    Kylie is used to be so adorable. Now she looks fake. I think Kendall had her lips done too.

  21. Palermo says:

    Where are the photos of them holding up their high school diplomas … oh that’s right …

  22. Andrea says:

    I cannot for the life of me figure out why the Kardashians’ are still around. I mean Paris Hilton held the spotlight for what … 3 years. These women / girls / monsters just keep getting media attention. Is it b/c there are five of them? I mean do we have to multiply 3 years of fame by 5 (6 if your count Krazy Kris) to determine their shelf life for fame? I’m from Toronto so I remember when Much Music was really, really cool. Sadly this is no longer so ….

    • word says:

      Exactly. Paris Hilton was one person. The Kardashian/Jenners are a clan…I mean Klan. Also, Kim replaced Paris. We need someone to replace Kim and her family. I can’t think of anyone. I had hope for Honey Boo Boo and her clan, but nope, even they can’t slay the beast that is the Kardashians.

  23. prissa says:

    Kylie is trying so hard to look like Kim. Sad. Kendall is actually pretty. I wish she’d stay normal. Out of the two, Kylie strikes me as the worst and the most likely to follow in Kim’s footsteps.

    DID YOU ALL HEAR THESE TWO WROTE A BOOK??? It’s called Rebels: City of Indra The Story of Lex & Livia. Here’s a synopsis from Amazon: Oh and it’s about Plastic Surgery, because of course (LOL)

    Two cities… Two girls… A shared destiny…

    In a world of the far future, the great city of Indra has two faces: a beautiful paradise floating high in the sky, and a nightmare world of poverty carved into tunnels beneath the surface of the earth. Kendall and Kylie Jenner, the youngest sisters in the Kardashian dynasty, have written a gripping tale of air, fire, and a bond of blood.

    • Dani2 says:

      Ugh, yes I heard about the book, I mean, the jokes just kinda write themselves, Kendall who can barely read, wrote a book? LOL sure.

    • jwoolman says:

      Their “book” sounds just like the plotline for an original Star Trek episode. Did they think we have such short memories?!? The series is still in syndication somewhere on cable. I wonder if they saw it long ago but don’t realize it since they didn’t bother to do any research.

  24. brionne says:

    Wow! Kylie has achieved pretty.

  25. Ice says:

    I think Kendall gasped before she looked up from her phone in that first scene.
    All I can say is, it’s a race to the bottom for attention, especially if you have zero talent to speak of. That’s all…

  26. vv007 says:

    I didn’t think it was that bad. I actually like the other MMVA promos, too. The guy going through basic training is pretty funny…I laugh every time I see it.

  27. Pixie6 says:

    Plastic surgery in high school when you’re rich is nothing new! Doesn’t anyone remember Clueless??

  28. brianna says:

    Damn, I think its so depressing that rich people can buy beauty and it is celebrated. I am a young girl and have grown up in this social media phase and it just makes me feel so self-conscious about myself when I see these gorgeous girls plastered all over the media. I think Tina Fey said it best:
    “Now every girl is expected to have Caucasian blue eyes, full Spanish lips, a classic button nose, hairless Asian skin with a California tan, a Jamaican dance hall ass, long Swedish legs, small Japanese feet, the abs of a lesbian gym owner, the hips of a nine-year-old boy, the arms of Michelle Obama, and doll tits. The person closest to actually achieving this look is Kim Kardashian, who, as we know, was made by Russian scientists to sabotage our athletes.”
