The Kardashians

Kim Kardashian West understands the power of a sequel -- just like a popular movie ... a follow-up to her massively successful fragrance line just made a killing too.

Kim released her newest set of perfumes Tuesday, which consists of 3 fragrances -- Kimoji Cherry, Kimoji Peach and Kimoji Vibes. Without spending a cent on advertising, her new products made a whopping $5 MILLION ... in 5 minutes!

The new KKW bottles go for 45 bucks each, and only social media marketing was used to get the word out for the release. Clearly, it worked wonders.

Kim also sent some candy grams to her celeb friends and her sisters ... with a complimentary fragrance inside.

We're told the amount of bottles available for launch this time around was increased due to the high demand, but just like multi-million dollar launch of her first line ... it's expected to sell out quickly.

As for the 5-minute bonanza ... Kim's been here before. Her cosmetics line hauled in $14 mil at its launch last year, so this could actually be considered just another day in the office ... if you're a Kardashian.

Khloe Kardashian's secret to dropping tons of lbs since giving birth includes resistance bands, BOSU balls, a healthy diet and ... TRUE THOMPSON!!!

We spoke to Khloe's trainer, Don Brooks -- aka Don-A-Matrix -- who tells TMZ ... Khloe's success to sweating away 33 pounds has everything to do with True's mere presence near the end of her workouts when she needs an extra boost. Seriously.

Can't knock the scheme when it's obviously working wonders on Khloe. Sure, Don's innovative workouts coupled with two-a-days have done their magic ... but it's crystal clear Khloe draws tons of inspiration from her cute, 3-month-old daughter.

So, this is a first -- someone's complaining about Kourtney Kardashian sharing a hot thong pic ... and that someone is her boyfriend, Younes Bendjima.

Younes took the jealous boyfriend route Monday, posting a comment on Kourt's photo which many are interpreting as major shade. He wrote, "thats what you need to show to get likes?"

He's since deleted his IG burn.

Kourtney and Younes have been dating since last October and reportedly had a brief breakup in March ... and word was there was some tension over Instagram.

Kylie Jenner had a master plan to launch a makeup empire when she was 17 years old, and took charge to turn it into the booming biz it is now ... this according to her proud mama.

Kris Jenner sat down with Harvey about the early days of Kylie Cosmetics and how the makeup line came to be ... and even showed off the first 3 lip kits Kylie used to start her career in the cosmetics industry.

As we reported ... Kylie's set to become America's youngest-ever, self-made billionaire ... and Kris is making it crystal clear it was no accident -- saying she knew what she wanted to do and made it happen. There's a raging argument on whether Kylie's a self-made billionaire ... Kris feels there's no question.

Kris also talks about her life -- from childhood to her marriages to her kids ... with all the bumps along the way.

Check out the all-new episode of "OBJECTified" Sunday night at 8 PM ET/5 PM PT ... and again at 11 PM ET/8 PM PT on FOX News Channel.

Kim Kardashian and Kanye West paid a little extra attention to North on Friday ... but Saint made it clear he was not to be forgotten.

The proud parents went to their 5-year-old daughter's fashion show at a design camp she's been attending with a friend, where the kids get to design their own dresses and clothing. We're told Friday was the big show for the kids to reveal their designs to their moms and dads.

As you can see ... North's is stylin'!

Our sources say Kourtney also came to the show with her kids Mason and Penelope ... we're told Kim and Kanye took the whole crew out to eat at Carasoul after to celebrate.

It's unclear what caused Saint's display of emotion as the family was leaving the show ... but we're going to guess it must have been the beauty of his big sister's design.

Travis Scott busted a Kanye West ... taking the fam on a retreat before getting the creative juices flowing and starting work on his new album.

Sources close to the situation tell TMZ ... Travis, Kylie Jenner and their daughter, Stormi, recently took off to Honolulu where Travis' first order of business was getting some QT with his girls in a massive Airbnb rental. We're told the crib was loaded with Stormi's fave toys, as well as one big toy for Dad -- a recording studio.

The family spent a few days on a private beach before Travis moved on to the second order of biz. We're told barely an hour after Kylie and Stormi jetted back to L.A. ... Travis flew in Nav, Gunna and Cash.

Our sources say the whole crew is in grind mode in the home studio. Travis is keeping the private beach to himself though -- he put up the producers at a nearby hotel.

Kylie Jenner might have had help becoming America's youngest self-made billionaire, but she still deserves a lot of the credit ... so says Taylor Armstrong.

We got the former 'Real Housewives of Beverly Hills' star leaving Craig's in WeHo Wednesday, where we asked what a lot of people were asking after Forbes threw Kylie on their cover and called her a "self-made" billionaire. Is she actually self-made?

Dictionary.com got in on the ribbing too -- posting Kylie's cover and the definition of self-made ... having succeeded in life unaided. Many have argued that Kylie had nothing but aid in building out her makeup empire -- ya know, 'cause her family is filthy rich and famous.

Taylor doesn't see it that way though. She says someone can still be self-made with a little assistance ... it all just depends on what you do with it.

Finally, Kylie Jenner did NOT land a magazine cover for her looks, instead it was her FAT assets as she's set to become America's youngest self-made BILLIONAIRE.

Forbes put the 20-year-old on the cover of its issue ranking the 60 richest self-made women in America. KJ's not quite at billionaire status yet -- she's only got $900 mil -- but, with her cosmetics biz booming, it's just a matter of months.

Kylie's on the verge of becoming the fastest person to a billion -- male or female. Remember, Zuckerberg hit the mark at 23, and by all projections Kylie will do it at 21.

For the record ... Kylie comes in at #27 on the Forbes list. BTW, her sister Kim is #54, Beyonce is #53 and Oprah is #6.

Kim Kardashian West isn't alone in her fight to help women in California prison -- the Speaker of the State Assembly is on her side too, but ain't exactly crediting Kim's celebrity for sparking change.

TMZ broke the story, KKW made a visit to a women's prison Saturday ... then made a plea to Gov. Jerry Brown to sign a bill prohibiting male correctional officers from conducting pat down searches on female prisoners.

Before it gets to Gov. Brown, state lawmakers have to vote on it and Speaker of the State Assembly Anthony Rendon made it clear he's supporting the bill ... but definitely not because of Kim.

His press secretary tells TMZ ... "Unlike Donald Trump, the California Legislature doesn’t need awkward photo ops with Kim Kardashian to do what’s right."

It's an obvious pot shot at POTUS for the pic he took with KKW during her visit to the Oval Office to request a pardon for Alice Marie Johnson.

Kris Jenner and Kim Kardashian West are about to add another profession to their lengthy resumes -- poker pro -- and it's all for a good cause.

Kim and Kris are the featured guests of this year's 'If Only' Texas Hold'Em Poker Tournament from City of Hope and The Forum. Khloe, Kendall and other celebs are also slated to host tables at the event.

As for the prizes ... winners can take home everything from customized Callaway golf clubs to backstage meet-and-greets with the Eagles and Fleetwood Mac (front row tix too!!).

We're told donation packages run anywhere from $250-$50k -- and cameras for "Keeping Up with the Kardashians" will be there too -- so participants might get a little face time.

Kim Kardashian West says she's still laser-focused on the women she visited in a California prison over the weekend -- so much so, she's imploring the Governor to do his part for them.

Kim called on Gov. Jerry Brown to sign Assembly Bill 2550, which would restrict male prison guards' interactions with female inmates. Kim said, "The women I met at CA Women's Institution are still on my mind and in my heart."

The bill would prohibit male correctional officers from conducting pat down searches on female prisoners, except in emergency situations -- such as posing a risk of immediate harm to herself or others ... or risk of escaping. It would also prevent male guards from entering areas where female prisoners are undressed ... and force them to announce their presence in women's housing units.

TMZ broke the story ... Kim went to the prison in Corona, CA and met with 15 inmates to discuss the facility's conditions and women's plans upon release.

Forget Kanye West running for president, The Game thinks Kim Kardashian West has a real shot at the White House, and it's because she reaches a huge demographic Hillary Clinton does not.

We got Game Sunday night outside Catch in WeHo, and asked him about Kim visiting women in prison to help with their release programs.

Game cut straight to the chase, saying Kim should just run for prez in 2020 because she's got access to millions of 18-year-old, white, female voters who all have something else in common ... thanks to her sister, Kylie.

If there really is strength in numbers, Game makes an interesting point.

Sooo ... Kim/Kylie 2020? Even if they don't run, hard to deny the influence they could have if they seriously endorsed a candidate.

Kim Kardashian West met one-on-one with several prisoners to discuss what it's like being locked up ... and their concerns about going back into the real world.

Sources close to the situation tell TMZ ... Kim arrived at the California Institution for Women in Corona Friday afternoon with a few bodyguards and first toured the grounds and living quarters.

Then, she met with 15 women to get a picture of what their day-to-day lives are like behind bars, how they feel about it ... and what their hopes, plans and anxieties are once they are released.

We're told Kim was there for several hours, and her trip is part of her mission to create a program for women to help them adjust to real life once they get out of prison.

Ben Simmons wasn't texting Tinashe while partying with Kendall Jenner, despite what the singer told photogs ... TMZ has learned.

Ben, Kendall and Tinashe were all at Delilah in West Hollywood Thursday. Ben and Kendall left together, and Tinashe took off with some friends. Our photog asked Tinashe if she and Ben exchanged greetings inside the club and the singer took it one step further, claiming Ben was texting her.

Sources close to Ben tell us Tinashe's texting claim was a flat-out lie. We're told Ben called Tinashe out after seeing our video Friday morning, she admitted she made it up and created unnecessary tension.

Kim Kardashian kinda sorta mastered wakesurfing her first time out, and it's tricky ... to say the least.

Kim spent the 4th out on a lake in northern Idaho with fam and tried her hand at the water sport with the help of a watchful instructor.

Kim Kardashian West arrived in style Saturday at her pop up shop, with her mom Kris close by.

After the event, as Kim walked out of Spago in Bev Hills, she told our photog she and Tristan Thompson were besties. Sounds like she buried the hatchet because she was furious at him after the cheating scandal.

Kim showed up at the Westfield Century City mall in L.A. -- which carries products from both her KKW Beauty and KKW Fragrance lines -- to hang out with 50 lucky fans and their guests at a private event Saturday evening with her makeup artist, Mario Dedivanovic.

Kim first went to her pop up where a few fans who were shopping got to meet her and take pics with her. Then she headed to a private rooftop venue to do one-on-one photos with a line of fans. The venue included an open bar and a candy station.

We broke the story ... Kim held a raffle for a chance to attend the celebration with her and Mario for free, and 50 winners were invited to attend. It's a pretty big deal, too ... fans usually pay hundred for Mario's makeup tutorials.
