Kylie Jenner is "bored" of rumours her she's had her lips surgically enhanced.
The 17-year-old reality TV star, who first sparked speculation she'd had injections to boost the size of her pout in April after showing off noticeably fuller lips on Instagram, thinks there are more important things to talk about and is eager to move on.
The 'Keeping Up with the Kardashians' star hit back at her critics on Twitter on Monday night (27.10.14), writing: "How long are we gonna talk about this lip thing lmao. Let's get a our lives together guys and talk about some important s**t. Just talk about something new at least. I'm bored (sic)."
Kylie, who is reportedly dating rapper Tyga, 24, previously admitted she was "insulted" by allegations she's had cosmetic surgery.
She tweeted: "These plastic surgery rumours hurt my feelings to be honest and are kinda insulting. Just in case anyone forgot.. I'm 16."
The brunette beauty's older half-sister Kim Kardashian West, 34, has also been the subject of nose and lip job rumours in the past, but previously said: "I guess it's a compliment to my makeup artist that he does such a good job contouring my nose that it appears smaller."

Emma Stone used to write an advice column.
The 25-year-old actress has revealed she wanted to be a journalist as a youngster, and took to the internet to distribute an e-zine in which she would answer her own questions.
She told The Wall Street Journal newspaper: "I had an e-zine that I would send to three people who would subscribe, who were probably all my mom under different screen names, before blogging was really a thing.
"It was called Neptune. It was a pretty hip e-zine. I had an advice column which featured questions from me and answers by me, which was great for working things out in a strangely therapeutic sense for a 10 year old."
The 'Amazing Spider-Man' star acknowledged the content wasn't groundbreaking, but admitted her childhood struggle for media stardom actually started when she was far younger, when she distributed a news bulletin to girls in her school.
She explained: "I also had this newsletter that I made for the third-graders every Wednesday. I would put this newsletter on all the girls' desks, and it was called Girls' Locker.
"I don't know what my deal was, but I really wanted to be a journalist."
However, the flame-haired beauty - who is currently performing as Sally Bowles in a production of 'Cabaret' on Broadway - said she is no longer such a fan of the web and social media because it harbours too much content.
She added: "I grew up loving the Internet so much and building websites.
"I think now there's an overwhelming nature that's sort of inherent to social media - all the tweets and the constant-ness of it is a little much for me."

Al Pacino feels "lucky" to have never suffered from severe depression.
The 74-year-old screen legend admits he has had points in his life where he has felt low, especially when he battled alcoholism, but he has never been afflicted with the disease that has affected many of his peers, such as the late Robin Williams and Philip Seymour Hoffman.
In an interview with the new issue of Loaded magazine, he said: "I may be depressed, but I don't know about it. People go into depression and it's very, very sad and it can last and it's terrifying. I know that I've had bouts with stuff that comes to close to that, but not that intensity. I feel spared, I feel lucky."
Pacino no longer drinks after coming close to reaching "rock bottom" with booze, but hinted there would have been some crazy photographs of him if smartphones had existed in the 70s at the height of his partying.
The 'Donnie Brasco' star said: "(Smartphones) that's the new world. Believe it or not I lived in another world a while back where there were no selfies or cameras at all. So it was just red carpets."
Asked if he enjoys the non-stop attention from fans in this decade, he added: "Oh I love it, I just love it ... Look, I've been around just too damn long and people just know you. It's because people grew up with you, that's part of the thing, they grew up with your films."
The full interview with Al Pacino can be found in the new issue of men's magazine Loaded out now.

Keyshia Cole won't be charged with assaulting another woman.
The 32-year-old singer was alleged to have attacked a woman in the penthouse of her boyfriend - Cash Money Records co-founder Birdman - in Los Angeles, but she won't face any further charges and has instead been reportedly let off with a warning.
A source told TMZ: "Prosecutors have told Cole instead of going to trial, they want her to appear at an informal office hearing, where someone from the City Attorney's Office will listen to Cole and the victim and then give the singer a stern warning not to do it again ... or else."
The verdict means Keyshia will not be required to spend any time in jail, but she may have to undergo anger management classes after she was accused of turning up at her boyfriend's home at around 5am, finding him with another women and then attacking her.
The singer, who was nominated for a Grammy for Best Contemporary RNB Album in 2007, was charged by LAPD with misdemeanour battery.
However, she was also arrested on account of the fact she had an outstanding warrant for reckless driving.

She had to post had to post $46,000 bail - some $20,000 of which related to the battery charge and the remaining $20,000 for the driving.

Sean Hayes has got engaged.
The 'Will and Grace' star - who is best known for his role as Jack McFarland in the NBC sitcom - sparked speculation he is set to marry his fiancé Scott Icenogle when he wore a band on his left ring finger during an appearance on CBS morning show 'The Talk' on Monday (27.10.14).
Confirming the rumour, Sean's representative told website RumorFix: "Sean Hayes and Scott Icenogle have been together for eight years. They are not yet married, but they have been engaged for quite some time."
The 44-year-old actor referred to music producer Scott as his "other half" last week while on 'The Ellen DeGeneres Show' and spoke about the pair going on a jaunt to Istanbul with his 'The Millers' co-star Will Arnett.
He said: "We know how the Middle East loves the gays, so fantastic, I'm there with bells on, literally."
Sean came out publicly in a 2010 magazine interview when he said: "Really? You're gonna shoot the gay guy down? I never have had a problem saying who I am. I am who I am. I was never in, as they say. Never."
The star is known for not speaking publicly about his private life and admitted in the same interview that he doesn't like to say too much about his personal life to ensure his characters are even more believable.
He told The Advocate: "When I play a gay character I want to be as believable as possible. And when I'm playing a straight character I also want to be as believable as possible. So the less that people know about my personal life, the more believable I can be as a character."

A poem read by Britain's Prince Charles was heard at a Dylan Thomas celebration last night (27.10.14).
An audio recording of the prince reciting 'Fern Hill' was among the performances at Swansea Grand Theatre's 36-hour Dylathon, which was held as part of the Dylan Thomas 100 Festival - of which Charles is patron - in celebration of the acclaimed poet's centenary.
Charles originally made the recording last year to mark National Poetry Day and it was broadcast on BBC Radio 4's 'Today' programme.
He said he enjoys the verse for its "poignant and moving evocation of a rural west Wales childhood" and that one of the legacies of Thomas' poetry is that it inspires people to appreciate the landscape of Wales.
Charles' recital can also be heard at an exhibition dedicated to the poet at Swansea's Dylan Thomas Centre, and his granddaughter Hannah Ellis is thrilled by the tribute.
She said: "This is potentially one of the biggest legacy projects to have emerged in this centenary year of my grandfather's birth.
"It's extremely important to me that Swansea Council safeguards this legacy and makes the most of this generous investment from the HLF. I'm expecting this project to really engage the local community, as well as the wider Dylan Thomas community, through their new education and outreach programme and play a central role in ensuring that future generations are inspired by my grandfather's literary successes."

'Avengers: Age of Ultron' will conclude with a revamped superhero team.
Kevin Feige, the President of Marvel Studios, has confirmed widespread rumours that the iconic lineup will look different at the end of the much-hyped 2015 sequel.
He told BuzzFeed: "The Avengers films, ideally, in the grand plan are always big, giant linchpins.
"It's like as it was in publishing, when each of the characters would go on their own adventures and then occasionally team up for a big, 12-issue mega-event. Then they would go back into their own comics, and be changed from whatever that event was.
"I envision the same thing occurring after this movie, because the [Avengers] roster is altered by the finale of this film."
The new film will see the introduction of Marvel characters Scarlet Witch, Quicksilver and the Vision, while Robert Downey Jr, Chris Evans, Chris Hemsworth, Mark Ruffalo, Scarlett Johansson, Jeremy Renner, Samuel L Jackson and Cobie Smulders will all reprise their previous roles.
The trailer for the eagerly-awaited new flick - which opens next year - has already broke Marvel records, attracting as many as 34.3 million views in the first 24 hours alone.

Al Pacino didn't want to appear in 'The Godfather'.
The Oscar-winning actor played the part of Michael Corleone in the three crime films, but has revealed he was initially reluctant to accept the role as he considered director Francis Coppola, 75, to be "a bit mad".
Pacino, 74, told the new issue of Loaded magazine out now: "I didn't want to do 'The Godfather'. I didn't know what was going on. I thought, 'How am I going to play this part?'"
What's more, Warner Brothers, the studio responsible for the film - which also starred the likes of Diane Keaton and Robert Duvall - were reluctant to hire Pacino because he was not a huge name at the time.
He reflected: "No one wanted me. Except for Coppola who was, I thought, a bit mad. He just wanted me. Even I said, 'What are you doing Francis? They don't want me'.
"Of course Warner Brothers said, 'Who is this kid?! Why do you like this kid? What do you see?'"
However, Pacino explained that an impressive performance in a play convinced Coppola he was the right man for the part - and that even Marlon Brando had to win over doubters to secure the part of Vito Corleone.
He continued: "Francis saw me in a play called 'Does A Tiger Wear A Necktie?' I won a Tony for it and he just took a liking to me. I must say, very lucky me, because he is a great man and he wanted me and they wouldn't take me still.
"I thought, 'He's going to lose his job'. They didn't want Brando either, all due respect."

Roger Taylor is keen to record a Queen album with Adam Lambert.
The group - whose singer Freddie Mercury died in 1991 - are preparing for another tour with the former 'American Idol' singer and after finishing the run of gigs in Europe, the 65-year-old drummer is keen to make new music with the star because he works so well with them.
He said: "I think it would be a very interesting experiment. It would be nice to just go in and see what came out. I don't know if it would be an album or anything, but I think it's too good a marriage to just let it go at touring. I'm sure we'll do something. His voice is so extraordinary, and it's a beautiful instrument. I think it would be nice.
"I guess we better come up with some material. We've sort of mentioned it, yeah, but not in a serious way. I think we'll probably get this tour over with and maybe come up while we're touring, 'Do you want to go in and try to write something?' "
Before they can bring out any new material, the band will release 'Queen Forever', a new compilation which includes three unreleased tracks, including 'There Must Be More to Life Than This', Freddie's duet with the late Michael Jackson but Roger has revealed the pair worked on another track that they were unable to include for legal reasons.
He told Billboard: "It was really something the record company wanted and we did have these three tracks that have never been heard, so we tried to put together an interesting collection.
"Obviously with different companies involved, it's quite complicated.
"We seemed to resolve something and we have permission to release this one track, but it was not the easiest [negotiations]. And I think, what a shame - Freddie Mercury, Michael Jackson, two great talents, neither of them is with us anymore."
