Chapter Four: Media

Who: Kylie Kristen Jenner and Normie Jenner What: A video diary Where: Jenner house. When: May 2nd 2015  Why: Chapter 4 of Project Hollywood.

“And the award for the person doing this at the latest - or maybe earliest - point ever goes to...” Three in the morning and the youngest Jenner had long since passed exhaustion. Still determined to get this done before she forgot about it for another few weeks, she’d opted to do it now and was beginning to slowly regret that decision. “So, hey.” Her voice was riddled with sleep, and it was second nature now to be slowly stroking Normie as she sat before the camera. “The media, huh? Well, I have enough knowledge about it, I guess.” She offered a nervous laugh, the media was something that being a teenager today was practically impossible to escape from, especially as Kylie was also a famous teenager today. “I think the media definitely has a way of knowing it’s own truth..”

“Over the years, there’s been a lot of lies about my family, a lot of rumours made up, a lot of scandals that were never all too scandalous anyway, but I think that now, for me at least, it’s beginning to calm down.” Even though she was tired, she found herself able to discuss such a strong topic. “I’m personally not in the media so much, to the extent of my other siblings or even with what the content written about me is about. If I make news, it’s usually for another mediocre, bullshit reason more than anything else. Like, I changed my hair or my lips got a little bigger or whatever else they deem news-worthy enough to write an article about it. In terms of social media; I like it. I like Instagram and Twitter and Snapchat and Tumblr and all other methods of connecting with my fans. I like those things.” She could feel herself rambling a little bit, due to the exhaustion, she was just spewing bullshit like a fountain. “I like being in the public eye and hopefully inspiring someone with whatever it is that I’m doing. Do I like all the drama that comes with it? Of course not. Is it, however, something that I think is a price not too great to pay? For sure. I get to speak to people from all over the world, for a couple pictures taken of me and a few lies made up? At the end of the day, my family and friends know the truth, and that’s what is most important to me. For sure.” 

Above anyone and everything else, Kylie rated her family. Family came first, no matter what. That was one thing that she had drilled into her from a young age, and probably the only thing. Her family liked to give her freedom, as much freedom as possible anyway given the whole fame-paparazzi thing, but they always wanted her to remember that fact. “I don’t really know what more to say now, and I really do think that I may pass out on camera which is something that neither of us want. This being said I’ll see you soon, hopefully not so late and a little more interesting.”

Chapter Three: PR Exploitation

Who: Kylie Kristen Jenner What: A video diary. Where: Khloé Kardashian’s house.  When: April 25th 2015. Why: Chapter 3 of Project Hollywood.

"Let me start off by apologizing for how long this has taken me to complete,” Kylie was quick on her apology, as to get it out of the way and to make sure that Gary understood it was an accident she missed that email. “I didn’t get the email, but I gather that it’s better late than never, right?” She offered up somewhat of a smile as to console whatever feelings of disdain he may have had towards the youngest Jenner. “Location change, again, I’m at Koko’s house.” Every video was in a different place; completely unintentionally, of course.  “So, publicity stunts, huh?” Being so young, Kylie had not been involved in a lot of public scandals, so she had a few to talk about. “I think the whole thing with Blac was probably the closest I’ve ever come. I was definitely prompted to push the argument and continue fighting with her on the matter of Michael and I. But I don’t like to have everyone in my business, especially when it comes to my relationships. I stopped before I think it got too bad.” There wasn’t that many things that the youngest Jenner had been subjected to that had led to widespread media coverage, so she was straining to think of things, for sure. After hesitation, she spoke again; 

“I think the whole thing with my dad would be one of the biggest. Keeping that secret was definitely hard, but in the same respect it’s his secret and I couldn’t be prouder of my dad, honestly.” She referred to his recent coming-out interview, where Bruce confessed that he was transgender. “I’ve known for a while; I’m very close to my dad. I’m incredibly proud, though.” It was difficult, to be in the media and keep such a life altering secret, and to begin with, Kylie had loathed the fact that her family was crawling even further away from normality. But, when she got to see her dad happy, and realise that this was something he needed, the teen instantly became his number one fan. 

“There was a thing with Stella and Jaden, but that was a long time ago. I was fifteen, and everything was somewhat of a mess.” That subject -- the subject of Msfts and subsequently Stella and Jaden -- made her uneasy and awkward. It was not something she was comfortable with discussing, not yet. “Well, I think that I’ve covered everything.. so, yeah... See you soon, I guess!”

Encore - Question.

Who: Kylie Kristen Jenner & co.  What: Question in regards to the Project.  When: April 3rd 2015;; somewhere between 6 and 8 pm.  Where: Chateau Marmont Why: Gary asked a question during the dinner. 

“Project members, I would like to wholeheartedly thank you for joining me this evening, and now that our stomachs are full, we can move on to more pressing matters. I understand that many of you had concerns before you signed your contracts to become apart of this series and now would be the time to voice them. What are your concerns surrounding the books? Is it your identity possibly being leaked, or perhaps a video? What is your biggest fear coming from this?”

The answer to the question was one that Kylie had, personally, thought of for a while. What were her concerns going into this project? What would happen if people found out that it was her spilling her heart out into a video diary every few weeks? There would be a mixture of press coverage, which she had no doubt would be good, but ultimately damaging, for her career.  What was her biggest fear in general? What was it that really terrified her straight to the core? Shook her to the point of no return? Death, mainly. But death wouldn’t come via video camera, so she had to think of something else. She was scared of losing everything.  Kylie, despite the eye of the public and press, was not materialistic. Making the most of her opportunities she was granted, and taking everything she could get, did not make her materialistic. She knew that these objects, her house and her clothes and her fans, could all go away. Whatever she would then gain would be things she could work with. The thought of relying upon these possessions that wouldn’t matter since we’re all the same in death, seemed ultimately stupid. Her parents, especially her father, forced she and Kendall to visit those who were less fortunate when they were growing up, to see how the ‘other half lived’ in some respect. However, these visits kept with Kylie and she remembered seeing those people, who had just the clothes on their backs and nothing more. So that was what Kylie was scared of.  Kylie was ultimately terrified of losing everything she’d ever known. Did she need it? No. But one thing that she’d remain grateful for forever was the opportunities that being the sister-in-law to Kanye West and half-sister to the Kardashians held. There was a lot. Even though she neglected her name, everybody knew that Kendall went so effortlessly into the modelling industry due to her family. She wasn’t saying that her older sister didn’t work her ass off everyday, because she did, but Kylie knew -- as did everyone else on the planet -- that her new career came with a certain ease due to their family.  And losing that ease, losing that gracefulness, that power, was something that haunted Kylie ever since she agreed to this stupid thing in the first place.

Chapter Two: Career.

Who: Kylie Kristen Jenner What: A video diary. Where: Kylie’s new house. When: March 28th 2015.  Why: Chapter 2 of Project Hollywood. 

For what felt like the first time all week, Kylie was finally alone. From the photoshoot to decorating her home, there wasn’t a spare moment she had that was not spent sleeping. This was the first chance she’d get to film her video, and even if it was rushed she gathered that it was better than nothing and at the end of it all she would still be paid. Grazing her eyes over the latest email, the brunette disappeared into what would become her kitchen, and set the camera down to talk. Pulling up the email on her phone, her eyes grazed over it as it’s contents was taken in.  “Wow..” The girl laughed; the Kardashian-Jenner career was a great debacle in the social media world, and it seemed ironic she had to answer the question. “I know a lot of people would mock and say ‘what career?’ but you know I’ve co-wrote a book, Kendall and I have our own range at PacSun, filming KUWTK. It’s not like I sit on my ass all day - as most people seem to think - I do a lot.” The words tumbled out of her mouth in a formal, interview-like fashion. “I know that seems silly to say. I haven’t changed the world and I’m not making great films or writing hit songs; but I’m doing something.” She sighed, whenever the ‘C’ word appeared, she constantly felt the need to defend herself and her family. No matter what.  “Here’s how I see it; if just one person,” she emphasized the one. “Person laughs at our show, or smiles at an interview or whatever, I’ve done something right. I’ve helped that person, even a little and even if they don’t realize it. I may have made their day just a little brighter, and that’s enough for me. If I inspire someone on Instagram, that’s enough for me. That means I’m doing something right, and that’s okay with me.” It was something, a variation of at least, she’d said multiple times. Kylie never asked to be a role model or looked up to or anything of the sort; but if it happened then she was okay with that and she was accepting of that and that was fine by her.  “There’s not a lot more I can say on this topic. I mean.. do you want me to list all the awards that Keeping Up has won or something? I don’t have anything else, so I’ll speak to you soon. I guess.” She shrugged, pulled a face and switched off the camera. At least that was one job done.

Chapter One: Hollywood

Who: Kylie Kristen Jenner What: A video diary. Where: Kardashian-Jenner House, Calabasas. When: March 8th 2015. Why: Chapter One of Project Hollywood.

It wasn't ever that Kylie necessarily wished to take part in the project, but more that her mother did. Kris had wanted her to do something for herself; Kourtney, Kim and Khloe had all grown up, so it didn't matter and Kendall had her modelling. Kylie had nothing. So, she'd agreed to this stupid book, in the hopes that it'd keep people off of her back -namely her mother- for some time. Setting up the camera, the raven haired girl hit record. All this would be was like Keeping Up With The Kardashians, except more like a self-filmed version. The email was up on her phone, showing the itinerary for this video.  "Fame." That was the main topic. How did she begin to describe the fame? "I didn't want it, but I didn't really have a choice. I was a kid; everything sounds great when you're a kid." She didn't resent her mother or anything for allowing her to be exploited on television as she grew up in the eyes of America, and the rest of the world once it aired, but it wasn't the brightest of ideas. Still, it rewarded Kylie with ample opportunity now she was older, going into adulthood in a few short months. "I mean, the paparazzi don't bother me. I have cameras thrust into my face for a living, they're just a part of it. Does it suck sometimes? Of course. Have there been times that I've wanted to just give it all up? Definitely. But I've also been given a lot of opportunity thanks to the show and thanks to fame. How many seventeen year olds have a book, a clothing line, have been on the cover of Cosmo and have has many things as I do?" The teenager felt as though she was rambling; something that she tended to do in the more intimate 1-on-1 sessions. It wouldn't be made public that Kylie had take part in this Project, but she had no doubt that her mother would exploit it and make it known to the entire world via Instagram that her youngest offspring was a part of this new, up and coming, exciting adventure. "I'm definitely grateful for everything I've been given, but I don't need it. I don't need any of the fame or anything. That doesn't mean that I won't utilize it and take every opportunity which I gain from it, but it's not necessary. It's put a strain on relationships, and stuff. Like who I'm dating, who I'm friends with and all. I'm a teenager; I won't have the same friends forever. I'll make mistakes, and fame kind of heightens those mistakes as though it's the end of the world and never before has such a mistake been made by the exact same people who are reporting about it." Honesty was key in this project, right? Kylie knew how to give people what they wanted; in this case, they wanted her to be as brutally honest as she could, as though she was never honest when it came to the show, and so she would give them that. They wanted honesty? They'd get it.
