There are media reports that California gubernatorial candidate Caitlyn Jenner will pause her campaign in order to fly to Australia to film the next season of “Celebrity Big Brother,” but that all depends on what your definition of “pause” is:

First up, the report says Jenner will be in Australia “well past the September 14 election date”:

Jenner tweeted that she’s not pausing her campaign, but. . .
I have not paused my campaign at all. I am preparing to launch a multi-week bus tour across CA.

. . .but Jenner also tweeted that she is “honoring a work commitment that I had made prior to even deciding to run for governor”:
I am honoring a work commitment that I had made prior to even deciding to run for governor. There is no pause at all on this race to save CA!

So, it’s off to Australia then?
My campaign team is in full operation as am I. I am in this race to win for California, because it is worth fighting for.

The campaign did confirm that it has filed the paperwork to run, so that’s a start:
Hi! AP reporter here. Have you filed your campaign paper work and tax returns?

Campaign responded to me and says she has filed.
