This weekend, Kim Kardashian West was visiting Paris, France to attend several fashion week events. While she was in her luxury rental apartment, she was allegedly robbed by two men dressed as French police officers.

The men tied her up, gagged her, and locked her in her bathroom while they robbed Kardashian West of $10 million worth of jewelry, and two cell phones. According to the actual French police and CNN, the men escaped on bikes, and are still at large.

Brace yourselves… there's more Jenner/Kardashian news coming your way! If you haven't heard already, the siblings made headlines earlier this week when Rob Kardashian tweeted Kylie Jenner's phone number. Many thought it was a hoax, but Rob made sure to confirm that it was indeed him who was leaking his sister's number.

In a tweet, Twitter user Emma (or @negansvoid) challenges everyone to "name a more iconic duo" than the Jenner sisters. Since then, the Twittersphere has been having a field day with endless memes proving that there are, in fact, many more iconic duos than the Jenner sisters

And now, a man who needs no introduction: America's least favorite slimeball, Martin Shkreli. He raised the price of Daraprim. He beefed with Ghostface Killah. He got arrested for fraud, to the joy of thousands. He pled the fifth in Congress, over and over. Hardly anyone has gotten this much negative coverage, on this site or any other, in the past year. Wouldn't you just love to punch him in the face?

Well, according to Shkreli at least, one woman will. Bear in mind, this is the same guy who trolled the world by claiming to have lost $15 million in Bitcoin on exclusive rights to Kanye's The Life of Pablo album

Read debate postmortems all you want. (Ours is pretty good, and late night hosts did well, too.) We're here to draw attention to another aspect of this week's Presidential debate, one oft overlooked in all the hubbub — the human aspect.

Kimberly Halkett is a correspondent for Al Jazeera who found herself the subject of an explosively popular meme.‘

In the brief video, Halkett is seen trying to make her way to an interview with Mark Cuban. She and another reporter push back and forth as a security guard urges them to stop. Then, Halkett utters the line that launched a thousand memes, sure to be one of the biggest catchphrases of this political season: "Thanks a lot, bitch."

Not content to let The Donald monopolize the entertainment landscape, as he has since his controversial appearance on The Tonight Show With Jimmy Fallon last week, Hillary Clinton turned up on a far hipper (fake) talk show.

Between Two Ferns, Zach Galifianakis's long-running Funny or Die series, has had some pretty high-profile guests — including a sitting President of the United States. For the first time, though, the show is tackling politics in the middle of an election — and, surprisingly, the reaction has been mostly positive.

Supermodel and fashion icon Gigi Hadid was leaving a Max Mara show in Milan with her sister Bella when she was attacked by a smiling stranger who thought he had every right to just pick her up off the ground. Unsurprisingly, isn't the first time pranksters have taken a joke too far for, in their minds at least, public amusement.

The man is suspected to be Ukrainian "prankster" (read: sociopath) Vitalii Sediuk, who has accosted multiple celebrities in the past. His Wikipedia page is literally just a list of celebrities he's accosted, in case you feel like getting angry today.

It seems like only yesterday that we last covered tortoise mating habits. (In fact, it was three weeks ago — we had a story about a tortoise named Touché who ran away from home and was found "mounting" a drain pipe cover.) But here we are again, in the brave, taboo world of tortoise sex.

A news story from AFP went viral this week about a very special tortoise named Diego. What's so special about Diego? Just the fact that he has around 800 kids. Here's a link to the original story, in case you want all the gory details.

According to AFP, as recently as 50 years ago there were only two male tortoises and a dozen females left on Española Island, the Galápagos Island off the coast of Ecuador that one particular subspecies of the Galápagos giant tortoise — specifically, Chelonoidis hoodensis — calls home.

Diego and his mates changed all that with the power of love.

In the most tasteless story about the attacks of September 11, 2001 since Steve Rannazzisi admitted to lying about being there, someone from Coke built a model World Trade Center in a Florida Walmart to "commemorate" 9/11. (And no, it's not just tasteless because the Towers are made of Coke Zero.)

The story first broke when In a tweet, a user by the name of @online_shawn photographs a display in a Panama City, Florida, Walmart. The display consists of an American flag made of Coke, Diet Coke, and Sprite, a banner reading "WE WILL NEVER FORGET," a Rollback price advertisement, and, most concerning of all, Twin Towers made of Coke Zero.

You may have seen this massively viral photo sometime in the last few weeks.

It features fitness model Chontel Duncan from HIIT Australia and her friend, Natalie Smith. They both had babies due within two weeks of each other — Chontel was due at the end of March and Natalie at the beginning of March.

As you can see, their bodies responded to their final trimester very differently.

“Each women carries different and this most certainly doesn't mean one is doing something wrong or not healthy etc,” Chontel explained. “We both have healthy growing babies & we both have had incredible pregnancies so far, feeling amazing & full of energy.”

Whether you think President Obama is the second coming of FDR or a Muslim from Kenya who's been putting off his ultimate plan of destroying America for seven years, you gotta admit: in the last year of his term, he's put together quite the highlight reel of DGAF moments. There was the time he did Slow Jam the News on Fallon, the White House Press Correspondent's Dinner mic drop heard 'round the world, and the downplaying of daughter Malia's alleged doobie-toking,among others.

The President was in Southeast Asian nation Laos recently, and did what any American tourist in Southeast Asia would (and should) do: he drank fresh coconut water. Mic tweeted the image of Obama slurping down some of that sweet, potassium-rich fluid with the caption, "Chill @POTUS™." It was retweeted over 1,000 times, and, along with other photos of Obama with a coconut, earned plenty of commentary.

Ellen DeGeneres — I mean Kate McKinnon — I mean Ellen DeGeneres — is once again blowing up the internet for something related to Britney Spears. This time, rather than just getting her picture taken with Ed O'Neill, Britney is doing some serious comedy heavy lifting.

In one of this week's most popular viral videos, Britney joined Ellen to terrorize a mall in Sherman Oaks, California.

When Ann Coulter isn't literally celebrating people's deaths on Twitter, she's finding other ways to be a gross, trashy person. That's what made her appearance on the Comedy Central Roast of Rob Lowe so enjoyable. It's like that scene in Beauty and the Beast when (spoilers for a movie old enough to rent a car) Gaston tries to kill the Beast but ends up falling into a ravine: the more she goes on the attack, the harder she falls.

Comedy Central isn't making the majority of the roast legally available online without a cable login. (If you're one of the lucky few who still has $200 a month to blow on cable, here's a link to the full roast.)

The Ohio State University is famous for many reasons: demanding that you call it "The" Ohio State University, being the nation's most-attended school, that weird mystery about the girl at the football game who may have been caught cheating on her boyfriend. This particular story DWARFS ALL OTHER OSU STORIES. Rewrite the history books, folks, because we've got a legend on our hands.

Vinny Forte is just a regular dude in a giant lecture hall. But this past week, he became engraved in the minds of millions for his phenomenal paper-throwing skills.
