The teen posed for Terry Richardson, and the photo shoot is exactly what you'd expect.

Kylie Jenner -- recent high school graduate, home owner, Snapchat queen, and now one of the thousands of young women in Hollywood who has posed in revealing clothing against a white backdrop for photographer Terry Richardson.
The 18-year-old reality star is Galore's cover girl for its Bombshell Generation issue, and while the cover line claims "The only thing that is predicable about her is she is completely unpredictable," the photo shoot is everything we've come to expect from Jenner (and from Richardson's photographs). Perhaps we're reading into things too much, but in one photo Jenner is holding a stuffed tiger, leading us to believe it's commentary on her relationship with her boyfriend, Tyga.
And while most people think Jenner has been in quite the hurry to grow up -- with her own sister Khloe Kardashian claiming she's not a "normal" 17-year-old in an interview with Complex in July -- Jenner disagrees.
“The reality is that I don’t even want to be 18. I wish I could be 17 for the rest of my life. I don’t want to get any older. I just want to be young and enjoy it, but this lifestyle absolutely made me grow up faster,” she told the magazine. “For me, age is just a number."

Nick Gordon may be trying to move past the wrongful death lawsuit filed on behalf of Bobbi Kristina Brown.
Gordon's attorneys are asking a Fulton County court to dismiss the suit, which alleges that he gave his ex-girlfriend a toxic cocktail, and put her face down in a tub of water, according to NBC's Atlanta affiliate.
EXCLUSIVE: Nick Gordon Visits Bobbi Kristina Brown's Grave Amid Wrongful Death Lawsuit
The suit was initially filed by Brown's court-appointed conservator, Bedelia Hargrove on June 24, and later amended upon Brown's death on July 26.
The original suit alleged that Gordon had assaulted Brown, as well as stolen thousands of dollars, with the amended version adding in the wrongful death allegations.
WATCH: Nick Gordon Accused of Giving Bobbi Kristina Brown a 'Toxic Cocktail'
19-year-old Gordon enlisted a high-powered legal team to aid in his defense, including attorney Jose Baez, who successfully defended Casey Anthony against first-degree murder charges in 2011.
Despite his pleas to the Brown and Houston families, Gordon was banned from attending funeral services for Whitney Houston's 22-year-old daughter in August. He did, however, visit her grave at a separate time.
PHOTOS: Bobbi Kristina Brown's Life in the Spotlight
"Nick has been heartbroken and destroyed over the loss of his love and it's shameful that such baseless allegations have been presented publicly," Gordon's lawyers said in a statement to ET. "Nick has engaged civil counsel and intends to defend the lawsuit vigorously and expose it for what it is: a fictitious assault against the person who loved Krissy most."
At this time, no criminal charges have been filed against Gordon, who is currently in Florida with his mom, Michelle. The Fulton County D.A. told ET in August, "The case remains open and under investigation."

Nick Gordon, the boyfriend of Bobbi Kristina Brown, denies causing the death of Whitney Houston and Bobby Brown‘s daughter in court papers filed Tuesday, People reports.
Hargrove has also claimed that Gordon was physically abusive to Brown, and improperly funneled Brown’s money into his own accounts.
In Tuesday’s response to the lawsuit, Gordon denies the vast majority of the claims made in Hargrove’s complaint, including that he gave her a toxic cocktail. The answer to the complaint does allow that Gordon and Brown “had an argument” after Gordon returned home and reviewed video footage.
The answer also says that Gordon unsuccessfully tried to perform CPR on Brown.
Gordon’s attorneys, Joe Habachy and Jose Baez, have slammed Hargrove’s lawsuit as “slanderous and meritless,” adding, “Nick has been heartbroken and destroyed over the loss of his love and it’s shameful that such baseless allegations have been presented publicly.

Rosie Jones starts the week off with another lovely shoot from our friends over at Page 3. I certainly can't think of a better way to start off the week.

Her pick: MAC Lipstick in Ruby Woo

“A lipstick that never leaves my kit is MAC’s Ruby Woo. It’s a cult fave, and every person on the planet must have it if you have the desire for attention in the most flattering form. This classic, true red has slightly blue undertones and brightens up every complexion, from pale redheads with freckles to the darkest of skin tones.

It’s not too bright or too opaque; it’s the perfect shade of red for every skin tone. It instantly brightens the face. You truly can’t go wrong with this one!”

Makeup artist: Kathy Jeung

Social: @KathyJeung

Clients: Rita Ora, Pink, Nicole Scherzinger

Her pick: Tom Ford Matte Lipstick in Ruby Rush

“I love this perfect shade of red. It’s a true red—not too orange and not too blue. I’ve used this lip color on Abbey Lee Kershaw, Kate Upton, Rita Ora, and Nicole Scherzinger, and they alllove the matte yet creamy formulation that gives a modern feel to a bright lip look. I discovered it when I heard Tom Ford came out with a matte lipstick range, and being a huge fan of the products, I rushed excitedly to see what the red color in the line would be. It didn’t disappoint! It’s now one of my go-to favorites!”

Clients: Kristen Stewart, Kate Winslet, Kristen Wiig

Her pick: Charlotte Tilbury K.I.S.S.I.N.G Lipstick in Penelope Pink

“My favorite universal lipstick is the Penelope Pink lipstick shade by Charlotte Tilbury. It’s the perfect combination of pink and brown. The pink is really subtle, so it doesn’t give off a Barbie vibe, and the brown balances out the shade. I use it consistently on a lot of my clients.”
