Kim Kardashian’s kids got a special gift this Christmas: A Pomeranian puppy. Let me be clearer: Each of Kim’s four kids . . . 12-year-old North, 10-year-old Saint, 7-year-old Chicago, and 6-year-old Psalm . . . got his or her own Pomeranian puppy. Not surprisingly, PETA isn’t down with this. They said, quote, “Puppies are not plushies, and it’s a damn shame that Kim missed the chance to be a spokesperson for shelter pups and instead is being rightly slammed on social media for that.” Khloe Kardashian is also in PETA’s crosshairs for getting her kids a black lab puppy for Christmas . . . because she bought from a breeder rather than getting a shelter dog. (North also got a 106-carat diamond skull necklace. She showed it off in a new video where she also has a piercing on the bridge of her nose, black grills, and turquoise hair.)

The toxicity ramps, the mask slips, and by the time the confetti clears, she’ll be dragging something into 2026 that should’ve stayed in 2025.”
