1. Caitlyn Jenner apparently texted Kanye West about being his running mate

Kanye West may or may not still be running for president, but Caitlyn Jenner isn't taking any chances. Jenner "says she's already texted Kanye about being his running mate," TMZ reports, and "while it sounds like she's joking about being Ye's veep, ya can't exactly rule it out." True enough! Problem is, West, who wants to run as a member of the "Birthday Party," already has a VP picked out: Michelle Tidball, a Wyoming-based "biblical life coach." Tidball, though, is already being scrutinized for having "some very bad ideas about how to treat mental illness," including … doing more chores? Jenner is looking better and better!
