Kylie Jenner Gets Real About Her Breast Augmentation—Down To The Implant Size
Of all the things I expected to read on the internet today, it wasn't Kylie Jenner detailing (down to the implant size) her breast augmentation. The plastic surgery transparency was all in response to a video posted by YouTuber and TikTok user @rachleary, pleading for the youngest KarJen sibling to share her surgery details. 'Please can you just tell me/us/anyone that's interested, what it is you asked for when you had your boobs done?' Leary asked, explaining that she didn't expect Jenner to share the surgeon but would love to know what exactly the surgeon did. 'I feel like you've been quite open about having your boobs done,' Leary continues, outlining that she 'd like to know about the style of implant ('teardrop' or 'high profile') but also the placement (under or over the muscle). 'Can you just share what it is you have had?' she pleads, caveating that she feels that it's important not to speculate and would prefer to ask Jenner directly. TikTok content This content can also be viewed on the site it originates from. In a stunning turn of events, Jenner responded, commenting: '445 cc, moderate profile, half under the muscle!!!!! silicone!!! garth fisher!!! hope this helps lol.' Had Kris Jenner not shared just this month who the surgeon behind her recent facelift was, the transparency would seem unimaginable. Confirmed by People, New York-based aesthetic and reconstructive surgeon Dr Steven Levine performed Jenner's recently debuted work. This isn't the first time Jenner (Kylie) has been open about her breast augmentation, though. In 2023, during an episode of The Kardashians, she admitted to the surgery during a conversation with a friend: 'I had beautiful breasts [before giving birth to her first child, Stormi]. Natural tits. Just gorgeous. Perfect size, perfect everything,' she said. 'And I just wish, obviously, I never got them done to begin with.' Whatever your perspective on sharing details of plastic surgery, there is something heartwarming about Jenner sharing her own experience, especially considering how desperately Leary wanted to know. Celebrities, (maybe) they're just like us.

Fiberon Partners With ‘Military Makeover' to Honor Air Force Veteran With Donated Deck
MAUMEE, Ohio--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jun 3, 2025-- Fiberon Decking recently joined forces with the television program 'Military Makeover with Montel®' to build a deluxe deck for a military veteran. The company donated the materials for a 200-square-foot composite deck, creating an outdoor oasis for 20-year Air Force veteran Matt Kosto. This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: Fiberon Decking recently joined forces with the television program 'Military Makeover with Montel®' to build a deluxe deck for a military veteran. The company donated the materials for a 200-square-foot composite deck, creating an outdoor oasis for 20-year Air Force veteran Matt Kosto. 'Matt served multiple deployments with the military, and we wanted to show our appreciation for his service and honor those who make the sacrifice to serve their country,' said Kate Haws, director, brand communications. 'Matt loves spending time outdoors with his family, so giving him a revamped, low-maintenance space to do that is our small way of giving back.' The new deck features Fiberon's Good Life composite decking, perfect for creating a casual outdoor living space with an authentic wood look. Built in the color Bungalow from the Good Life Escapes collection, the deck resembles exotic hardwood in a deep, rich brown. Crucial for Kosto's Arizona-based home, the Good Life collection is Class B fire-rated, meaning it is designed to slow the spread of flames, provides an added layer of protection to the property and offers greater peace of mind. Good Life is made with 94% recycled material, combining recycled wood with the long-lasting resilience of recycled plastic. Its durable composite core resists splintering, rotting, cracking, insects and decay, and a three-sided cap layer helps resist staining and fading. The decking is backed by a 30-year performance, stain and fade warranty. As part of the project, Fiberon also provided its CountrySide railing in brown to enclose the deck. CountrySide railing strikes an ideal balance between beauty and strength, featuring an understated satin finish and clever sub-rail reinforcement. Round, matte black aluminum balusters finish the look with a unique contrast. Led by talk show legend, military advocate and veteran Montel Williams, 'Military Makeover with Montel®' enlists conscientious designers, contractors, landscapers and other home improvement professionals to transform the homes and lives of military families across the country.

American Airlines Debuts New Amenity Kits With an Iconic Hollywood Designer
American Airlines' amenity kits are getting a Hollywood makeover. In a limited-edition release, the airline will debut three new styles by celebrity designer Brandon Blackwood, whose styles have been worn by stars like Beyoncé, Jennifer Lopez, Lucy Liu, Megan Thee Stallion, and Heidi Klum. 'I remember how excited I would get as a child, racing to find my seat and eagerly searching for the amenity kits,' the 33-year-old trending fashion designer told Travel + Leisure, noting that he often traveled and moved around the world since his stepdad was in banking. 'Each kit felt like a little treasure trove, filled with varied, thoughtfully designed items that brought me so much joy and curiosity.' His goal while taking on this collaboration was to 'recreate that same feeling of excitement and wonder,' aiming for styles that meld functionality with whimsy. 'I wanted every kit to spark that sense of curiosity I once had as a child, bringing a smile to travelers,' he added. The complimentary kits will be available on select summer flights starting in mid-June and running through September for passengers in premium classes flying between the U.S. and Asia, Australia, Europe, South America, and the Middle East, as well as on domestic cross-country and Hawaii flights. Premium economy travelers will receive a blue-and-white pouch in Blackwood's trademark checkered pattern, while those in Flagship business will be treated to a black pouch with red accents including the checkered design on the inside. The most coveted kit will be reserved for Flagship first class passengers, who will receive a mini version of Blackwood's viral Portmore bag, made of denim with a wrap-around zipper. 'The Portmore backpack holds a special place in my heart as one of the very first styles I created and the bag that truly put us on the map,' Blackwood said. He scaled down the design for the airline as an ode to his brand's 10th anniversary. 'It was a journey to take such an iconic bag and reimagine it for this significant moment in our history—this feels like a rebirth of a classic.' Brandon Blackwood with the his full American Airlines amenity kits. Lexi Lambro/American Airlines Inside each kit will be a curated selection of skincare products, including Buttah lip balm and towelette and Pholk lotion. The collaboration is the second of the Texas-based carrier's limited-edition kits, which started in 2024 with women-owned B Corp company Raven & Lily in partnership with Stand Up to Cancer and helped raise $4.3 million for the nonprofit. The opportunity marks a profound moment for Blackwood, who was on the 2024 Time 100 list for revolutionizing the fashion industry with the End Systemic Racism tote. 'Being a first to do something is always such a milestone, especially at this scale,' Blackwood told T+L of the opportunity as a Black designer to work with a brand like American Airlines, which he's long adored. 'Every first my brand has done has helped spotlight other brands of those that look like myself. It gives hope, spreads awareness, and shows that there is so much overlooked talent that's waiting to show up and show out.' For those who have long supported his brand, he hopes they'll 'feel a sense of pride and see a reflection of both themselves and our brand in the kits,' while he hopes those happening upon his designs for the first time will see the kits as a 'warm welcome…inviting everyone to share this beautiful experience together.' The partnership is a choice that the airline is excited to bring to their passengers for the summer travel season. 'Brandon's bold, fashion-forward designs are the perfect addition to our amenity kit collection, especially as we see our premium customers skewing younger, which is in line with Gen Z investing in luxury items and experiences,' the airline's chief customer officer Heather Garboden said in a statement obtained by T+L.
