Blake Griffin has done it again. The Los Angeles Clippers power forward – who might be responsible for the best dunk ever – set a pick and rolled to the basket during last night’s win over the Boston Celtics. And who was there waiting for him? None other than the former Mr. Kim Kardashian himself, Kris Humphries. Not that Griffin cared very much. Watch him take to the air and THROW IT DOWN over Humphries now. This is more embarrassing for Kris than the fact that he actually married Kim Kardashian: Blake Griffin Dunks on Kris Humphries As for other memorable Griffin slams? These are our favorites: Blake Griffin Dunks Over Pau Gasol Blake Griffin Dunks vs. Knicks Blake Griffin Dunks Over Kendrick Perkins
Give Ruth Iorio credit. She certainly isn’t boring Facebook followers with updates about her latest meal. Instead, the Los Angeles resident and writer took to Facebook late last month and shared intimate photos of her home birth. For what reason? Iorio tells the Huffington Post she wanted to publicize “my unique experience, whether attractive or not and just to be honest about it.” The result was a raw, VERY personal look at the miracle of life, starting with contractions around 8:15 p.m. on Christmas and updates that included how the pain was akin to a “shitty period” and how she had a lot of diarrhea. Iorio used a midwife to help with the birth and sat with her dog in bed a few hours into the labor: She wrote a lot about her “nasty” back pain and also asked: Why does no one say your asshole aches like hell, too? We told you this was awfully personal. Ruth said she was “in and out of sleep” for a few minutes here and there, as “this beast” ripped her “back apart.” Good thing the midwife was around to assist: In the end, of course, it was all worth it, as Ruth gave birth to a son named Nye. She has to be transported to a hospital and remain there for two days due to a loss of blood after her placenta failed to be delivered, but this photo says it all, doesn’t it? What do you think of Ruth real-time Tweeting and Facebook-ing her home birth experience? Interesting and engaging? Or TMI to the extreme?
Mae Young, one of the most famous women in wrestling history, was taken off life support last night and passed away this morning at her home in Columbia, South Carolina. She was 90 years old. Young broke into the professional ranks at the age of 15 and was profiled many decades later in a documentary titled “Lipstick and Dynamite.” She was the first-ever NWA U.S. Women’s Champion and appeared on WWE Smackdown in 1999, 60 years after she first entered the profession. Mae even went on to win WWE’s Miss Royal Rumble in 2000… at the age of 77. She was involved in a storyline that year as the girlfriend of grappler Mark Henry and was inducted into the WWE Gall of Fame in 2007 along with The Fabulous Moolah, another long-time, legendary Diva. Young was hospitalized on December 30 and placed under hospice care at home. “Sad news to report,” Mike Mooneyham of The Charleston Post & Courier Tweeted yesterday. “Received word tonight that #MaeYoung has been taken off life support. Prayers for this grand lady of wrestling.”
