On the heels of Kim Kardashian nude photos and Kourtney Kardashian nude photos both gracing the pages of national magazines, sources now tell TMZ that E! viewers will soon get a glimpse of Kris Jenner nude.
Sort of.
According to those close to production, Kris will hold a family meeting during an episode of Keeping Up with the Kardashians Season 10 in order to drop a bombshell on her family:
Someone has stolen a home surveillance video that features her strolling around in her birthday suit.
This individual broke into Jenner's iCloud, grabbed the footage and is now blackmailing her over it.
Jenner has filed a criminal complaint over the incident with the L.A. County Sheriff's Department and her kids will react in horror when they hear the news. Except for Kim, supposedly.
The insider, who was present for the taping, tells TMZ that Kim shrugs off the violation. Perhaps because she doesn't see the big deal in everyone seeing you naked.
... during the final 18 months of Robert Kardashian's life. "It was so surreal, the knowledge he had cancer was one thing, but to think it would actually take his life, I never in a million years thought that would happen to him," Kris says of her late first husband.
Jus as Kris believed Keeping Up with the Kardashians was getting boring, her kids started having kids of their own. "They just keep making more babies, and there's always another story," she says.
... because she got Diabetes while pregnant with Kylie. "I got gestational diabetes and gained a whole bunch of weight and got really sick, and really sick after I gave birth to her," she says.
Kim Kardashian has messed around with her hair in many ways. But this was the most drastic change, going from extreme blonde highlights back to her more natural brown.

Indeed, reality stars, actresses, singers and everything in between have changed up their hair color in the recent past.
Heck, some do so practically every day (we're looking at you, Demi Lovato!).
Who has dyed her hair in a successful manner? Who should really stick with her natural tone? Who has gotten carried away with this whole makeover thing?
Bobbi Kristina Brown was under the influence of drugs, likely including heroin, the day she was found unresponsive in her bathtub, a new report indicates.
The 21-year-old was found face down in the tub inside her Georgia home on January 31. Bobbi Kristina was rushed to the hospital and placed on life support.
She has remained in a medically induced coma, and in critical condition, ever since, with family, friends and police trying to piece together what happened.
What they are finding is not a pretty picture.
Multiple sources who know Brown say she was suicidal and hooked on Xanax, and may also have been using in cocaine and heroin, in recent months.
She was also a heavy drinker, the sources say; one person who say Brown regularly says she often appeared to be high, slurring words and incoherent.
Bobbi Kristina's ties to a drug ring have been well documented, along with her rocky romance with her longtime partner and self-professed "husband."
While the exact nature of her relationship with Nick Gordon is far from clear, friends say the two were often at odds, and even violent with one another.
Bobbi Kristina and Nick Gordon were married, but reportedly estranged at the time of her tragic hospitalization. We hope she is able to beat the odds and recover.

Another source says Bobbi Kristina had been "in and out" of rehab in the three years since her mother, Whitney Houston, drowned in a hotel bathtub.
She was "distraught" over the anniversary of her mother's death on February 11, which fueled her addiction despite attempts at recovery, the source adds.
"How thin she had gotten is an indicator. This girl was trying hard, but she didn't have any real support system. She was still dealing with a lot of grief.
It has not been confirmed by any police or medical officials whether Bobbi Kristina was on heroin, cocaine and/or Xanax at the time of her near-drowning.
However, People quotes sources close to the ailing star claiming this is the case, and one usually doesn't fall asleep face down in the tub by accident.
For the time being, she remains in limbo.
Bobbi Kristina's father, Bobby Brown, is reluctant to take her off life support, holding out hope for a miracle despite doctors saying there's little they can do.
Bobbi Kristina Brown and Whitney Houston together, before the former passed away in 2012. We wish their family members the best in this difficult, tragic time.
Whitney Houston used to be a major star. She may have had the best voice on the planet. These days? She's a sad, seemingly unhealthy version of herself.
Let there be no doubt: this is the best rendition of The Star Spangled Banner in the history of professional sports. Take in Whitney Houston's masterpiece now.
The night before she passed away, Whitney Houston went out with friends in Los Angeles. This, therefore, will forever be known as her final singing performance.
Ahmad Givens, better known to VH1 viewers as "Real," passed away on Friday night after a long battle with colon cancer.
He was 33 years old.
Givens was diagnosed with the disease in 2013.
His condition improved a bit after he underwent surgery and had most of his liver removed, but earlier this year the cancer returned and Givens started chemotherapy treatments.
According to family members, Givens had been bedridden since January, had trouble with his vision last night and died hours later.
"I'll see you one day soon we shall dance again in God's kingdom forever and ever bro words can't describe my pain world pray for me!" Givens' brother wrote soon after his sibling died.
Givens is best known for appearing on the VH1 series I Love New York in 2007.
He went on to anchor spinoffs Real Chance of Love from 2008 to 2009, along with Real & Chance: The Legend Hunters in 2010, on which he starred with his brother.
ESPN's Stuart Scott (1965-2015) will forever be missed. The beloved anchor and personality passed away after a long battle with cancer in January at the age of 49.
This Sunday, Hollywood will gather at the Dolby Theater in Los Angeles to perform the impressive feat of kissing its own ass without suffering some sort of severe spinal injury.
Yes, it's Academy Awards time - the one magical night on which millions of Americans tune in to find out if that one movie they actually saw will win anything.
This year, the Oscar snubs got more headlines than the nominees, so you may not even know who's up for what.
Well, don't worry - we've pored over the full list of 2015 Academy Award nominees so that you don't have to, and now you can fleece your friends at this year's Oscar party with our list of *iron-clad, 100% guaranteed predictions:
This outcome of the Best Picture Race will remain uncertain until the envelope is opened. It's the closest race in decades, and either Boyhood or Birdman will win by a nose (or beak).
Birdman is a slight underdog, as it's not as a film like Boyhood comes along once in a lifetime (literally). Still, the Academy loves flicks about actors and the industry, particularly when they're as self-referential as Birdman.
Until a few weeks ago, Michael Keaton was considered a lock in this race. Since then, however, Redmayne has become the odds-on favorite, thanks to big wins at the BAFTAs and Golden Globes.
Of course, Birdman is a marvel in its own right. The film has the appearance of being chot in one continuous take, and it's wildly witty script (co-penned by Inarritu) is equally impressive.
The End.

(*Note: Predictions are not actually iron-clad or guaranteed, and in most states, gambling is illegal, mmmkay?)
So you didn't see Birdman or Boyhood, eh?
Well, we can't combine the two front-runners into one perfect film about 12 years in the life of a pubescent superhero (Birdhood? Boyman?), but we can save you time by telling you that Boyhood is the current favorite to take home the night's top prize for a number of reasons:
In an awe-inspiring feat of forethought that rivals becoming a pre-med major, Boyhood was filmed intermittently over a period of twelve years! No mainstream American film has done anything quite like it. (Google the "7-Up series" for the Brit equivalent.)
Birdman (the other front-runner) is a groundbreaking film in its own right, and it's all about actors! (The Academy loves that!) However, it also has comedic elements and an ambiguous ending. (The Academy hates that!)
The anonymous Academy voter who shared her ballot earlier this week makes Dick Cheney look like Santa Claus, and even she gave in to Boyhood's sweetly sentimental charms. It's a safe bet that most of her fellow curmudgeons will do the same.
Of course, this year's contest has been called the closest Best Picture race in 20 years, and you can't count out the possibility of some dark horse like American Sniper swooping in and pulling a Crash-like upset. (We really can't get over that one.)
So you may want to save your money for a safer bet like Michael Keaton for Best Actor. (Although, watch out for Eddie Redmayne, who's built-up some serious momentum with BAFTA and Golden Globe wins in recent weeks.)
Or maybe you think Patricia Arquette for Best Actress is the smarter investment. There's a good chance you're right, but there's also a real possibility that industry-favorite Emma Stone will take the prize for her work in Birdman.
So yeah, it's shaping up to be one of the most unpredictable Oscar nights in decades, and there are really no safe bets. We suggest you play it safe and wager on something like host Neil Patrick Harris belting out some showtunes.
Khloe Kardashian, Kim Kardashian, Kylie Jenner and North West were fortunate to avoid catastrophe Saturday afternoon in Montana when the car in which they were traveling crossed lanes and ended up in a ditch.
According to TMZ sources, Khloe was behind the wheel of her Yukon GMC when a truck passed by and splattered snow on the windshield.
Temporarily unable to see, Khloe swerved… hit black ice… and crossed into oncoming traffic.
The vehicle settled in a ditch and police were called to the scene, but no injuries of any kind have been reported.
"Thank you God for watching over us and keeping us safe," Kardashian captioned an Instagram photo of the sky after the incident, apparently forgiving God for having made her fat.
"They're shaken, but all okay,” a source tells Us Weekly of Kim, Kylie, Khloe and North, who are in Montana on a family ski vacation.
Kourtney, Khloe and Rob Kardashian at US Weekly's Annual Hot Hollywood Style Celebration held at MyHouse in Hollywood, CA. Yes, they have a brother named Rob who spells his name normally.
The Olympic sensation confirmed via Instagram on Saturday that he’s engaged to Nicole Johnson, posting the following photo of the couple along with a caption that reads:
“She said yes.”
“I’m gonna be a Mrs. @m_phelps00," Johnson wrote a short while later.
The engagement comes just a week after rumors surfaced that Phelps has cheated on Johnson, the former Miss California, not just once but with many women.
In addition, The Hollywood Gossip broke the story last fall that Phelps spent at least one night with Taylor Lianne Chandler, a middle-aged woman who was born a man.
She was allegedly with the swimmer the night he was busted for his second DUI, after which the 29-year-old athlete checked into rehab to "find himself."
Then, when Phelps left rehab late last year, he rekindled his romance with Nicole Johnson … much to the chagrin and anger of Chandler and other side pieces.
Taylor Lianne Chandler is Michael Phelps' alleged cougar girlfriend. This was sent to THG directly from a source claiming it's from her. Decide for yourself in this gallery!

In emails provided exclusively to THG, Chandler and another reported lover of Phelps, a Baltimore-area dog walked identified as “Sally Smith,” discuss sex with the iconic athlete.
Smith, for example, describes the Olympic legend's unit as “skinny” and “not girthy,” while Chandler says she bled the first time she slept with Phelps.
Both women say they were badly hurt by Phelps and their exchanges conclude with both trying to find a d--k pic of the swimmer in order to incriminate their ex-lover.
So... yeah. Interesting stuff to put it mildly, and we imagine that with the news of his engagement, we haven't heard the last from these rumored scorned lovers.
But, hey, congratulations to Phelps and Nicole Johnson!
Taylor seemed to enjoy sending naked pics to Michael Phelps. Considering he was about to ship off to rehab, it's not surprising he had other things on his mind.
The End.

Bobbi Kristina Brown's estranged partner Nick Gordon is pulling out all the stops to see her, even implying that this could be what revives the ailing 21-year-old.
As you know by now, Bobbi Kristina was found face down in her bathtub January 31, and has been hospitalized, in a medically induced coma, ever since.
Her self-professed husband has been persona non grata, with rumors surfacing that Brown's family banned Nick Gordon from visiting her in the hospital.
That would be a tall order if he were really her spouse - Nick and Bobbi claimed publicly that they got married last year - but it doesn't look like he is.
Krissie's father, the R&B singer Bobby Brown, said via his attorney that she is not married to Nick Gordon, nor has she ever been. So there's that.
Whatever their status is, he is turning up the pressure to get inside Bobbi Kristina's hospital room now, even stating that his presence could save her life.
Gordon took to Twitter to blast this public plea on Saturday night: "Let me in the hospital to see my girl and let her hear my voice SHE WILL WAKE UP!!!"
She probably will not, much as we hope we're wrong there, and Gordon may be the one who needs to wake up and smell the coffee, so to speak.

Nick is the subject of a police investigation surrounding Bobbi Kristina, who sources say was reportedly on heroin and other drugs that fateful morning.
Injuries found on Bobbi Kristina's body when paramedics removed her body after she was found submerged in the bathtub have piqued police interest.
Nick has not been charged with a crime - nor has Max Lomas, their mutual friend who first saw her nearly drowning - but he is under some suspicion.
He says he's going public because he's getting nowhere with the Brown and Houston families, who have not only blackballed but threatened him.
It's not likely that the family members, who are holding a constant vigil and hold all the power in this case, or doctors will be swayed by Nick's plea.
Physicians have said that there is little they can do to revive Bobbi Kristina and that removing her from life support would be a medically sound decision.
Bobby Brown has resisted thus far, believing prayer can work miracles, and family members reportedly respect this even if they may privately disagree.
Krissie's mother, the late, great, Whitney Houston, died three years ago under eerily similar and tragic circumstances after drowning in a hotel bathtub.

Hermione and Harry. It seems like a dating match made in heaven, doesn't it?
That's been pretty much the response of the Internet after rumors swirled that Prince Harry was actually romantically involved with Emma Watson.
According to some Australian tabloid called Woman's Day, the royal hottie emailed the beloved actress, invited her to a party and the two have since been on a number of "secret dates."
So, when will be the only wedding that could possibly rival that of Prince William and Kate Middleton for media attention?
A quarter to never, Watson sadly implies.
"WORLD Remember that little talk we had about not believing everything written in the media?!" the beautiful star Tweeted over the weekend, seemingly in response to chatter that she is boning Harry.
Harry dated Cressida Bonas for two years before their break-up in April 2014, while Watson split from Matthew Janney in December 2014.
No offense to Ron Weasley, but we were really hoping there was some truth to this rumor. Maybe someday...
The best and brightest in Hollywood came together at the Dolby Theater in L.A. Sunday night for the 2015 Academy Awards, a tradition unlike any other.
No other event rivets so many millions of TV viewers who haven't actually seen 80-100 percent of the works up for the highest honors in film. It's remarkable.
But seriously folks, all of the movies and actors nominated are worth seeing, and celebrating, because they are each extraordinary in their own way.
Yet almost all of them lose at the Oscars, by definition. It's ironic in a sense.
Who actually ended up winning Best Picture? Who got their first Oscar? Were there any big surprises at the ceremony, hosted by Neil Patrick Harris?

Aaron did all he could to argue his peaceful case, stating how he could have taken Sasha and Maggie out before if he wanted to and how there’s only one other person out there on a similar recruiting mission.
Finally, Michonne (with Glenn, Maggie, Abraham and Rosita as back-up) embarked on a two-mile walk to see if Aaron was being honest about two cars parked nearby.
Aaron proceeded to offer Judith applesauce as another kind gesture, but Rick made him eat it first. It passed the test and then so did Aaron: Michonne returned and said his car story checked out.
So Rick begrudgingly agreed to check out the community, but only if he drove there and only if they left at night.
That evening, heading off into the darkness with Aaron, Michonne and Glenn, Rick found that the car’s glove compartment was full of license plates. WTH?!?

Aaron said he wanted one from each of the 50 states for his house. Yes, he has a house. But he has also has a problem: Rick found a listening device in the car, just as Glenn drove them into a pack of walkers. Their severed limbs actually stalled the car.
(Fortunately the RV with everyone else in it had turned back in time. Yet now everyone else was separated from Rick, Glenn and Michonne!)
A flare then went up in the distance and Aaron freaked out. He made a run for it. Glenn eventually saved him from a zombie, they reunited with Rick and Michonne and followed the flare as a group.
Turns out, Aaron was so upset because the flare signaled his partner, Eric, was in trouble. However, Maggie, Sasha and company had rescued him from the “roamers” and even put a splint on his ankle.
Aaron thanked the gang for saving Eric and vowed to repay them when they got to Alexandria. Yes, he now trusted them enough to reveal the location.
The next day, as you'll see when you watch The Walking Dead online, Michonne urged Rick to drop his guard and to fully trust Aaron
As episode wound dead, tension was ratcheted as everyone pulled into the Alexandria Safe-Zone. Rick was stunned to actually hear kids playing playing there.
So, as frightened as he was, he picked up Judith to go inside.
“Even though you were wrong” about this place, Carol told him, “You’re still right."
None other than Lady Gaga performed the most talked-about musical number from Sunday's 2015 Academy Awards, and the pop star did not disappoint.
Gaga sparkled literally and figuratively as she belted out tunes from The Sound of Music on its 50th anniversary, captivating the Dolby Theatre audience.
Watch her amazing performance below if you missed it:
As Julie Andrews, The Sound of Music's original star, took the stage to present the award for Best Original Score, she thanked "dear Lady Gaga" for her rendition.
"It really warmed my heart, it really did," Andrews said.
Pretty impossible to beat that as far as praise, right?
Perhaps even more impressively? Twitter was too busy tripping over itself to lavish praise on Gaga that it stopped making jokes and memes for five minutes!
John Legend's "Glory" had the crowd inside the 2015 Academy Awards in tears, but it was Gaga's tribute to The Sound of Music that set social media blaze.
Crooning everything from the film's titular song to "Climb Every Mountain," the 28-year-old, who just got engaged to Taylor Kinney, was a true knockout.
Seriously. The woman has RANGE!
From Kate Upton to Steve Martin, Debra Messing to Lisa Vanderpump, and from celebr to regular folks alike, everyone went Gaga for Gaga last night.
He had already hosted the Tony Awards and the Primetime Emmy Awards on multiple occasions.
But Neil Patrick Harris stepped up to the granddaddy of all the self-congratulatory ceremonies in Hollywood when he emceed the 2015 Academy Awards on ABC last night.

Quite well, thank him very much!
He sang. He danced. He mocked John Travolta. He stripped down to his underwear. He "completely improvised" an outstanding opening number and he impressively kept the event moving right along.
While Lady Gaga brought all Academy Awards attendees to their feet with her singing last night, and Neil Patrick Harris did the same with his hosting, Graham Moore brought everyone to tears with his personal triumph.
Upon winning the Oscar for Best Adapted Screenplay, Moore used his acceptance speech to deliver a powerful message about perseverance and individuality.
"Alan Turing never got to stand on a stage like this and look out on all of these disconcertingly attractive faces, and I do, and that’s the most unfair thing I think I’ve ever heard," Moore said of the subject of The Imitation Game.
So, in honor of the gay/closeted World War II hero who was persecuted for his sexual preference, along with many others like him who may be out there, Moore continued.
"When I was 16 years old, I tried to kill myself, because I felt weird, and I felt different, and I felt like I did not belong," he said.
"And now I’m standing here, and I would like for this moment to be for that kid out there who feels like she’s weird or she’s different or she doesn’t fit in anywhere. Yes, you do. I promise you do.
"Stay weird, stay different, and then when it’s your turn, and you are standing on this stage, please pass the message to the next person who comes along."
Moore’s speech made major waves on social media, with #StayWeird trending on Twitter soon afterward. We salute him.
Following his Birdman tribute, Neil Patrick Harris actually introduced the next set of presented in his underwear. Talk about going to any length for a laugh!
Channing Tatum was introduced by Neil Patrick Harris at the Oscars in the following manner: "He's the real deal, pants down! Hands down. Did I say pants? I meant pants."
Said Neil Patrick Harris upon introducing John Travolta: "Benedict Cumberbatch – it's not only the most awesome name in show business, it's also the sound you get when you ask John Travolta to announce Ben Affleck."
Harris was unafraid to take on anyone in Hollywood. To wit: "American Sniper focuses on a soldier with 160 kills, or as Harvey Weinstein calls it, a slow morning," he said at one point.
The End.

Taya Kyle, the 40-year-old widow of the late American Sniper inspiration Chris Kyle, attended the 87th Annual Academy Awards last night on his behalf.
What she had to say about it was eye-opening.
American Sniper, the controversial box office smash, was nominated for six Oscars, including Best Picture and Best Actor for Bradley Cooper as Chris Kyle.
Though she glowed at L.A.' Dolby Theatre in a strapless green gown, Taya took to Facebook just hours earlier to give her true feelings about the evening.
"So, I am always real with you," she wrote.
"Today is no different... I have a pounding headache and woke up from intermittently sleeping and having nightmares about the evils of the world."
"And yet, I am in beautiful Southern California courtesy of Warner Brothers who have been exceptional to work with in every aspect."
"Turns out they are like the fairy GodMother for a regular woman who has kids, a murder trial for her beloved and dear friend and am honestly exhausted."
The murder trial that Taya referenced is the aftermath of her husband's death, which took place after his four tours of duty in Iraq as a military sniper.
Chris Kyle was killed at a gun range in 2013, allegedly by the suspect Eddie Ray Routh, a fellow U.S. veteran with PTSD. Taya has testified at Routh's trial.
"I don't like whining and I believe in the power of recognizing blessings even when the chips are down," continued Taya. "I find myself in a surreal position..."
"I wanted to support everyone who made this movie representing real veteran families, but I didn't think I had the energy to show up at the Oscars, let alone be presentable."
American Sniper is not without controversy or debate. But there's no debating the enormous domestic box office haul of this Bradley Cooper-anchored drama.

"Like Cinderella who scrubs the floors but has a fairy Godmother, (Warner Brothers) got me on a plane and had a dress and jewelry and even the shoes and Spanx waiting for me."
"And so it is. I am here," she added. "To represent my husband, military families and the beautiful people who put more than they had to to make this movie happen."
"It's by the Grace of God and the support of people like you who literally give me the energy to get out of bed each day and see the beauty through the ashes of my life."
"I hope the same for all of you. We all struggle and we all have to find the strength to fight another day. I know I am not alone."
"The details may be different but our stories of fighting on, finding the strength to help ourselves and accepting the help of others when we can."
"Our constant fight to get on a path to renewal is always common ground - it's the human condition."
After preparing herself for the big night, Taya Kyle went on to honor her husband during the ABC red carpet pre-show for the 2015 Academy Awards.
"I'm so thankful," she said in one of her red carpet interviews. "I wanted to be here to represent Chris... He would be absolutely blown away."
Ben Woolf, an actor best known for portraying the character of Meep on American Horror Story: Freak Show, died today of injuries he suffered last week after being hit by a car.
He was only 34 years old.
As previously reported, Ben Woolf was jaywalking in Hollywood when he got clipped in the head by the side view mirror of an SUV. He was rushed to the hospital.
The driver was not arrested or ticketed.
The star has been heavily sedated since the terrible incident and passed away from a stroke this afternoon, multiple media outlets have confirmed.
"We have been overwhelmed by the outpouring of love and support from all over the world for our beloved Ben," Woolf's family says via statement.
"He touched so many hearts in his 34 years."
A memorial service has been planned in Santa Barbara for some time in the next few days, while the 4'4" actor's organs are being donated to science.
They are expected to help about 50 people.
We send our thoughts and prayers to his loved ones, whose heartbreak we cannot imagine, and to the friends and families of these stars we've also lost this year:
ESPN's Stuart Scott (1965-2015) will forever be missed. The beloved anchor and personality passed away after a long battle with cancer in January at the age of 49.
Michael Sam is yet to find a permanent home in the NFL.
But the former SEC co-defensive Player of the Year is set to tackle a new challenge while he pursue his professional football playing dreams:
He's headed to Dancing with the Stars!
Sam, the first openly gay player drafted in the NFL, tells TMZ that he’ll show off his moves on Season 20 of the reality competition, which gets underway next month.
The defensive end has insinuated that he is not on a roster because of his sexuality and says he has every intention of still playing in the NFL.
He'll attend the veteran's combine on March 22 to prove himself to various coaches and general managers.
It's worth wondering, therefore, how his Dancing with the Stars participation will be received. Might league executives question his commitment to football if he's spending time studying the Tango over the playbook?
Dancing with the Stars Season 20, meanwhile, will mark the final appearance on the show for judge Len Goodman.
Moreover, neither Karina Smirnoff nor Derek Hough will serve as professional partners.
Sam is the first celebrity to confirm his inclusion this spring.
Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu is not just a talented director, but a good sport, as he says he was not offended by Sean Penn's "green card" joke at the Oscars.
In fact, he said he got a kick out of it.
Sean Penn was slammed earlier today for a joke he made at the Mexican director's expense, just before presenting him with the Oscar for best picture.
Penn opened the envelope, took a beat, then said, "Who gave this son of a bitch his green card?"
Yup, an unfunny joke from an unfunny guy. Some people even found it racist and offensive. But Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu says he found it "very funny."
Inarritu directed Penn in 21 Grams, and the two have since become friends. He explained that jokes like the one Penn made are just the way the two of them get along:
"Sean and I had that kind of brutal relationship where only true friendship can survive."
He continued, "He was always making jokes … I made a lot of very tough jokes (to him) that I will not tell you."
Now, it probably doesn't hurt that Inarritu, the writer, director, and producer of Birdman, took home three Oscars at the 2015 Academy Awards.
Winning usually makes mediocre jokes about oneself go down a little easier.
Penn strikes me as one of those guys that always wants to be funny, but just isn't. Of course, he's great looking and incredibly talented, so funny guys are looking at him with jealousy too.
It's just the grass is always greener in someone else's lake.
The secret to a good joke, Sean, is always make sure you're funny before you tell it.
