Did you know? Kim Kardashian and Kanye West are reportedly dating! This recent development in the comings and goings of Kardashian's money-making no-no brought with it two burning questions: first, did those X-rated pictures that MediaTakeOut posted (but didn't identify) depict Kardashian and West having sex? And secondly, OH MY GOD is that a hickey on her neck, or did she just have a psoriasis outbreak? This morning, we have the answer to one of them.

Because why the hell not, TMZ reported early this morning in an "exclusive" that, yes, the mysterious red mark seen on Kardashian's neck when she was photographed in New York City is "totally a hickey." Some details:

Psoriasis, Shmoriasis ... TMZ has uncovered THE TRUTH about the suspicious mark on Kim Kardashian's neck ... and it DEFINITELY originated from Kanye West's mouth.

Sources close to Kim's neck confirm ... the red blotch was NOT the result of Kim's skin condition ... it's totally a hickey. 

You may now begin your Saturday.
