In case you thought Kim Kardashian and Kanye West's second child together was all some enormous Illuminati ruse, now some naked proof exists to the contrary.

Kim took to Instagram (as she does) Aug. 11 to post a selfie (as she does) wherein she threw her clothes aside (as she does) in hopes to squash rumors about her faking this most recent pregnancy.

In her own words:

First they say I'm too skinny so I have to be faking it...Now they say I'm too big so I have to be faking it...SMH! Some days I'm photographed before I eat & look smaller, some days I've just eaten & I look bigger. It's all a part of the process. I think you all know me well enough to know I would document the process if I got a surrogate. Everyone's body is different, every pregnancy is very different! I've learned to love my body at every stage! I'm going to get even bigger & that's beautiful too! I'm blessed to even be pregnant & even luckier to not have preeclampsia as far as I know, so I don't have the swelling issue this time! They also say your body carries a boy different than a girl! Whatever the case may be I'm grateful to God for this miracle & no matter what rumors or comments you throw my way this time they truly don't affect me! #NoFilter #NoPhotoShop #GoodLighting 😜

There's no telling whether this violates the same way-too-strict nudity guidelines that have led to the deletion of many photos and a lot of naked protests.

But hey, it happened, and we have a screen shot.

Notre Dame lost their game against Northwestern last Saturday, and as a result, we all lose.

Because this happened.

Former Notre Dame player and current host of ESPN's "Mike and Mike in the Morning," was forced to pay up on a bet with his co-host Mike Greenberg by re-creating Paper Magazine's Kim Kardashian butt photo.

This Thanksgiving, we are all thankful for that carefully placed bow.

Paper Magazine has unveiled the cover of its Winter issue, starring Kim Kardashian.

And not to be out-shined by Keira Knightley's topless photoshoot for Interview Magazine, Kim's decided to go full butt.

The magazine says it used Kim to try to "break the Internet" (whatever that means) - but we're pretty sure that Ted Cruz is doing a good job of that himself.

"There is no other person that we can think of who is up to the task than one Kim Kardashian West. A pop culture fascination able to generate headlines just by leaving her house, Kim is what makes the web tick."

There are two versions of the cover, one of her oiled up and bending over to highlight her ass-ets, and one taken by French photographer Jean-Paul Goude to recreate his "Champagne Incident" shot.

Kim made a joke about this on her Twitter to help fuel the fire for the great Internet Breakage of 2014:

And they say I didn't have a talent...try balancing a champagne glass on your ass LOL #BreakTheInternet #PaperMagazine

If for some reason you haven't already seen the images at this point, you can view both covers. including the uncensored butt version on Paper Magazine's website (WARNING).

And of course, she is already being meme-ed as well.

Kim Kardashian looks so much like a centaur in Paper Magazine, I figured I'd take it one step further. pic.twitter.com/Sh70yV43gE

It's what you ask yourself every morning as you stare into your closet, right? What would Kanye West and Kim Kardashian wear today?

If you need fashion inspiration from Kimye, or some Halloween costume tips, Katie Burroughs and Kathleen Lee have created a blog and Instagram account to help you out.

Called "What Would Yeezus Wear" the two women recreate numerous paparazzi photos of the couple down to the finest detail, even including baby North West.

Up above here you can see Kim Kardashian's Instagram post. Suspiciously, the same photo is on a free wallpaper website. Whoops?

Kim Kardashian recently told V Magazine that she'd like to be the first reality star to land on Hollywood's Walk of Fame:

I think there was a quote where somebody said that reality stars will never get a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. So, of course I'm so competitive that I think that it would be a huge achievement and a goal that anyone would want. I would love to break that mold.

Naturally, the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce scoffed at her aspirations (along with the rest of us):

She has not been nominated. She is a reality star. We don't do reality stars. She needs to get a real acting job then come to us.
