Jennifer Aniston Finally Fights Back Against All the BS

Jennifer Aniston is a childless spinster who is destined for a life of sadness and loneliness. This is more or less what you'd believe if you read stories about the actress online, many of which focus on her failed relationships and inability to become a mother. With this in mind, Aniston would like your attention. She's featured on the cover of InStyle's September 2018 issue and she has something to say about your preconceived notions regarding her existence. Ready to be blown away by the truth? Take it away, Jen… 1. The Tease This is how InStyle captioned an Instagram photo of Aniston on its cover, preparing readers for a revealing interview: “Talk about her all you like, but with great friends, new projects, and still-perfect hair, September cover star Jennifer Aniston is doing just fine. And at 49, she knows who she is. That means no boundaries, no bullshit, and lots of laughing.” 2. What Does the Internet Say About Her? Come on. You know the answers: that she has never gotten over Brad Pitt, that she’s desperate to be a mother, that she’s miserable after her divorce from Justin Theroux. Heck, Aniston herself knows the answers, as she says in this cover story: “The misconceptions are ‘Jen can’t keep a man,’ and ‘Jen refuses to have a baby because she’s selfish and committed to her career.’ Or that I’m sad and heartbroken.” 3. Huh? These Rumors are False? F”irst, with all due respect, I’m not heartbroken,” Aniston says. “And second, those are reckless assumptions. No one knows what’s going on behind closed doors. No one considers how sensitive that might be for my partner and me.” 4. And Another Thing! “They don’t know what I’ve been through medically or emotionally,” Aniston says on the topic of pregnancy. “There is a pressure on women to be mothers, and if they’re not, then they’re deemed damaged goods. Maybe my purpose on this planet isn’t to procreate. Maybe I have other things I’m supposed to do.” 5. Remember in July 2016? Aniston fired back at critics in similarly admirable fashion. “The objectification and scrutiny we put women through is absurd and disturbing,” she said back then, adding with force: “We are complete with or without a mate, with or without a child… We get to determine our own ‘happily ever after’ for ourselves.” 6. Amen, Right?!? Maybe Aniston tried to have a baby and was unable to do so medically. Maybe she doesn’t want one. All we know for sure is this: It’s nobody’s business! View Slideshow

If You Care: Ne-Yo’s Wife Inspired By Son’s Un-“Blessed” Kinks To Create Mixed Kids Hair Products

 (Photo by Steve Granitz/WireImage) Ne-Yo’s Wife Dragged For Shading Son’s Hair Texture, Then Claps Back With A Kiddie Hair Line Crystal Smith is clapping back at critics who gathered in her comments after she described the difficulty in styling her son’s kink-n-coils. The semantics of the caption really rubbed folks backwards after saying her son wasn’t blessed like mommy with her “Hawaiian silky.” Crystal posted and then deleted: So my son wasn’t blessed with Mommy’s “Hawaiian silk” as my sister likes to say. Can anyone suggest some good products or moisturizers? Nothing I’ve tried will help the dryness. His hair seems to soak up everything instantly. Folks immediately checked her for the “wasn’t blessed” part, saying that he IS blessed and an array of negative criticism. Now Crystal seems to be turning lemons into lemonade. “Thank you guys for the negativity, because once again I’m going to channel it into something positive and I am now in the process of creating a hair care line for mixed children…so thank you once again.” Continue reading

Chit-Chatter: Growing Number Of Female Chubby-Lumpkins Olympians Say They’re Judged More By Looks Than By Athletic Skill

Big girls need love too! Some Female Olympians Say They’re Judged More On Looks Than On Athletic Skill We’re thinking Gabby Douglas would agree with this gripe right about now… American weightlifter Holley Mangold tips the scales at 346 pounds (157 kilograms) and she is proud of being the heaviest woman at the London Olympics. Mangold, 22, who competed in the women’s 75 kilogram-plus division, is one of growing number of women athletes speaking out at their frustration with the public scrutiny of their body size and image rather than their fitness and skills. At the 2012 Olympics, a list of top female athletes have hit back at critics who have called them fat including British heptathlon champion Jessica Ennis, Australian swimmer Liesel Jones, and the Brazilian women’s soccer team. British weightlifter Zoe Smith won fans when she hit back at attacks on Twitter saying she looked like a “lesbian” and a “bloke”, addressing her critics as “chauvinistic, pigheaded blokes who feel emasculated (as) we .. are stronger than them”. The Women’s Sport and Fitness Foundation (WSFF), a UK charity aiming to get more women into sport to build self-esteem and confidence, said only 12 percent of British girls at age 14 were doing enough exercise to meet recommended guidelines. WSFF Chief Executive Sue Tibballs said their research found negative body image was consistently cited as a barrier for girls participating in exercise as popular culture gave out the message it was more important to be thin than fit. Quite interesting that weightlifting often requires these women to be this size…..and then they are criticized for it. Source Image via Wenn

US President Barack Obama receives Nobel Peace Prize in Oslo

Barack Obama, the US President, has accepted the Nobel Peace Prize in Oslo but said others may be “more deserving” of the award. Obama defended the US record in Afghanistan President Obama, who earlier arrived in Norway with his wife Michelle, also defended the US record in Afghanistan and his planned surge of 30,000 military personnel as motivated by his desire to bring peace to the war-torn country. In his acceptance speech, he hit back at critics of his plan to begin withdrawing US soldiers from Afghanistan in mid-2011, saying he was “unambiguous” about the date and would debate it no further.
