KARDASHIAN SISTERS KENDALL AND KYLIE JENNER LISTED AMONG WORLD'S MOST INFLUENTIAL TEENS

Kendall and Kylie Jenner have been listed alongside Jaden Smith and Lorde on Time magazine’s most influential teens of 2014....  The ‘Keeping Up with the Kardashians’ stars were listed alongside inspirational youngsters such as a 14-year-old transgender activist Jazz Jennings and 17-year-old Malala Yousafzai, the youngest-ever recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize.... 



The siblings’ achievements are described in the publication thus: ‘Together, the ‘Keeping Up With the Kardashians’ co-stars hosted red-carpet events, released clothing and nail polish lines and even published a dystopian young-adult novel this past summer (though yes, they had some help).... 

But they’ve had solo success too – Kendall with modelling (she’s walked the runway for designers like Marc Jacobs) and Kylie with pseudo-entrepreneurship (she’s launching a line of hair extensions and hopes to get into acting). Next up: a multimillion-dollar mobile game?’ The sisters were joined on the list by Kylie’s rumoured former fling, Jaden Smith who is the 16-year-old son of Will and Jada Pinkett-Smith – who is recognised partly for his ‘Twitter musings’.... 

The magazine states: ‘His real legacy may well be his Twitter musings, which are equal parts absurdist (‘Anything You See In Any Magazine Ever Is Fake.’) And insightful (‘Once You Witness A Cycle Enough Times You Step Out Of It.’), earning him more than five million followers and labels like, ‘Confucius for the Internet age.’... 

One of Smith’s recent posts sums him up pretty well: ‘Hate Me Love Me Doesn’t Matter I’m Still Occupying Time Inside Of Your Psyche.’ (sic)’ Both the Jenner sisters and Jaden are in good company on the list as fellow stars including singer/songwriter Lorde, actress Chloë Grace Moretz – who is rumoured to be dating Brooklyn Beckham – and pop star Austin Mahone are also named as influential teens.... 

17-year-old New Zealand-born, Lorde, is praised for being ‘a force in music and pop culture’ and for winning two Grammy Awards so early in her career....
