I wouldn't think the decade ends until 2020 but this article seems to say 2019, so without further introduction, 39 is a big number, how'd they come up with this? Anyway, excerpts <---- By the way, it looks like the list starts with 2011, so, looks like we're still good for next year as being part of this decade.:

This is just flipping scandal, sort of a bs article but perhaps still of interest to some.

2019, ": Khloe Kardashian's boyfriend, Tristan Thompson, cheated on her with Kylie Jenner's best friend, Jordyn Woods.", I mean, really, who cares about something about this except the real big fans... sheesh.  Dumb article for the most part, I can see where some of this really raised eyebrows. Maybe the list needs to be shorter.
