Kylie Jenner said earlier this year that she had gained weight within months-15 pounds to be exact. The 17-year-old has become one of the world's biggest role models when it comes to fashion and beauty. Wearing a cleavage-baring white jumpsuit and blue hair extensions (which she has since removed) the Keeping Up with the Kardashians star recently talked to E! News at the launch of her Kylie Hair Kouture extension line at Bellami Beauty Bar about her new diet. "I'm working out and I'm eating a lot better," she said. "Well, I didn't realize I was lactose intolerant. But now, this last month, I've been working on it just for health reasons only." Her 31-year-old sister Khloé Kardashian, who has lost a lot of weight over the past year and has been kicking butt at the gym, is an "inspiration," Kylie said.

Jenner began her modeling career with the Sears line "Crush Your Style" and has done photo shoots with photographer Nick Saglimbeni and modeled for her cousin Natasha's clothing company. She has also expressed an interest in acting, but has explained that college is a greater priority.

Jenner announced that she hopes to pursue an acting career, saying "Right now I love designing and I want to pursue that career once I turn 18, but acting is something I would regret not giving a chance when I'm older, so I would love to try it and see if I like it, I used to do plays in school and then in my community. I would participate in all of them 'til I was 13".

In 2011, Seventeen magazine featured Kendall and Kylie Jenner as Style Stars of the year, and selected them as "Style Ambassadors" for the magazine. Fans have disturbingly enlarged their lips with bottles to compete in the "Kylie Jenner Challenge". Jenner replied by tweeting "I'm not here to try & encourage people/young girls to look like me or to think this is the way they should look."
