Source: Sheri Determan/WENN.com / WENN Alicia Keys Speaks On Her Son’s Fear Of Being Different Alicia Keys took to Instagram recently to vent to her fans about how labels are getting in the way of people embracing who they really are. She opened up about these frustrations on Instagram after an incident with her four-year-old son, Genesis, who she took to the nail salon recently. While they were there, the toddler struggled with whether or not to go through with getting the rainbow colored nail polish he wanted. “He’s in the chair and he’s like, ‘I want [a] rainbow.’ So he tells the lady that he wants rainbow colors on his nails. And she brings all of these colors and she paints each nail a different color. And after she painted his nails, he looked at me and he said, ‘Mommy, I don’t want this on my nails,’” Keys said. When the songstress asked her son why, Genesis went on to explain that could have problems with the colors on his nails. “Can you believe this? 4 years old. He’s 4!” she said. “And he already understands the concept that someone is gonna judge him because he chose rainbow colors on his nails.” View this post on Instagram Been thinking about how over labeled and over judged we all are… can u feel me?? A post shared by Alicia Keys (@aliciakeys) on Nov 9, 2019 at 5:43pm PST Alicia encouraged her son to wear his nails proudly, telling her Genesis that people would love his nails because it showed off his creativity. She also assured the 4-year-old that a lot of men enjoy painting their nails. Ultimately, this incident left the singer thinking about how judgemental the world has become. “The way I see it, there is masculine and there are feminine energies inside of us all, period. It gets concerning to me that we can’t just explore these different sides of ourselves. These different energies that are within us.” She continued, “Even for me, myself, I oftentimes express the masculine energy that’s inside of me. And, all the time, if that happens, there are the judgments, and there’s the stereotypes, and there are all the energies that come towards that. And for my boys, [it’s] similar, if they want to express the feminine energy that’s inside of them. There’s all of these judgments, and all these rules, and stereotypes, and vibes.” Alicia wrapped up her venting session, saying, “We should be able to explore and express [our masculine and feminine energies] however we want to.”
Like all of the Teen Moms, Kailyn Lowry has inspired a mixed reaction from viewers over the years. But whether you love her or hate her, there's no denying that Kail is dedicated to doing what's best for her three sons. Unfortunately, she sometimes disagrees with the boys' fathers in terms of what that means. Take Kail's latest trip with her traveling buddy, Leah Messer. Lowry brought her kids along, against the wishes of one of her baby daddies. And the situation got so messy that MTV refused to continue filming. Take a look: 1. Kail and Her Eldest Lowry took all three of her kids on her most recent trip to Hawaii. Unfortunately, one of her baby daddies was not happy about it. 2. Jo, Mama For the most part, Kail and Jo Rivera have enjoyed an amicable co-parenting relationship over the years. But he believes she overstepped her bounds with the Hawaii trip. 3. Island Bound The build-up to Kail and Leah’s trip was featured on Tuesday’s episode of Teen Mom 2, and it seems there was quite a bit of drama involved. 4. Back At It For one thing, Leah invited her ex-husband, Jeremy Calvert, a prospect that left Messer’s three kids very excited. 5. The Whole Crew But the real drama centered around Kail’s decision to bring all three of her kids on the trip, including Isaac. 6. Stepping On Toes That may not seem like such a big deal, but it seems that Isaac was supposed to spend Independence Day with his father, and Kail booked the trip over July 4 without asking permission.

America most definitely has talent. After yet another summer of impressive singer, dancers, magicians and plenty more took to the NBC stage on a weekly basis, this much has been made clear. But who in America has the most talent? According to this beloved reality series? This question answered on the America’s Got Talent Season 14 finale on Wednesday night. Cue the drumroll and then cue the congratulatory message to… … KODI LEE! After weeks of competition, Lee was been crowned the latest champion yesterday evening, besting fellow finalists opera singer Emanne Beasha, violinist Tyler Butler-Figueroa, dance troupe Light Balance Kids, singer Benicio Bryant and Ndlovu Youth Choir in the process. “I feel so amazing,” he told Terry Crews after winning. “Unbelievable!” In many ways, this result felt preordained a long time ago. And also well-deserved. The 22 year-old singer and pianist is blind and autistic, yet neither of those attributes prevented him from putting on incredible performances all season long. He run to the title started back when he earned Gabrielle Union’s golden buzzer in the first audition episode of the season. In addition to the honor of being the winner, Lee takes home $1 million and will headline shows from November 7-10 at Paris Las Vegas Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas. Along with his memorable vocal abilities, Lee’s life story quickly made him a Season 14 fan favorite. The Lake Elsinore, California, native was born with optic nerve hypoplasia and diagnosed with autism at age 4. His mother, Tina, accompanied him on stage for the entire competition Truly inspiring stuff all around. “He’s making people believe in something they didn’t even know is attainable. He’s magic,” Union previously told People Magazine of Lee. Speaking to the press about an hour after the finale, Lee exclaimed: “Heck, yeah! I’m a winner!” The finale features performances from the likes of Cher, Billy Ray Cyrus, and Leona Lewis. It also gave us a surprise reunion between Simon Cowell and his former fellow American Idol judge, Paula Abdul, who secretly performed with Light Balance Kids and only revealed herself at the end of the performance. Much to Cowell’s shock. In the end, though, it all came back to Lee and down to Lee. “Everybody rooted for him and he’s probably one of the most popular winners we’ve had on one of these shows,” Cowell said, concluding: “He’s got an amazing talent. … The guy’s just an absolute star. He’s one of those contestants you’re going to remember. You’ll always remember that first audition.” CONGRATS TO KODI LEE!
Since moving to L.A., Jinger Duggar has undergone such a radical and joyous transformation that fans hope that Jana will be inspired to break free . But while Jeremy Vuolo is responsible for “allowing” Jinger to break so many family rules, she may have gone too far even for him. After she was spotted wearing some very short shorts, is her husband embarrassed to be seen with her? One of the perks of being given to a husband and therefore no longer being Jim Bob’s property means that the Duggar girls live under new rules. Jeremy Vuolo is a fervently devout Christian — in addition to being a reality star, he’s also a pastor. He has allowed her to wear pants. But even fans who cheered Jinger’s wearing of normal clothes were surprised to hear that she was spotted out in public wearing shorts. These weren’t the sorts of athletic shorts that drape to someone’s knees. They came to mid-thigh at the furthest. That may be normal for, you know, human society, but for the Duggar fertility cult, that makes her a regular Jezebel. But what does Jeremy think? Jeremy Vuolo shared with his fans and followers that he had taken some guy friends to his favorite pizza place in L.A. He posed along with the guys — and of course, his adorable little baby, Felicity. It wasn’t just that Jinger didn’t show up in the photo that raised the eyebrows of fans. Look at the way that the pic of Jeremy is cropped, cutting off an arm. After so many carefully framed and curated photos from the Vuolos, it looks suspiciously like someone was cut out of the frame. Was Jinger there in her short shorts? Did Jeremy scrub her from the pic because she went too far? Jinger has truly undergone a radical transformation since she and Jeremy moved to L.A. She wears pants. She wears sleeveless tops. She even dyed her hair blonde. And while she looks beautiful, the experience was jarring fo ra lot of fans. It seems that physical distance from Jim Bob and the Duggar world has let her feel free to stretch her legs — and bare them. Would her own family even recognize the person she’s become? Probably, but they very likely do not approve. Jinger “gets away” with all of these changes because she’s married to Jeremy. As we mentioned, he is a pastor, and he has strong opinions about Christian theology that differ from those of Jim Bob. He has stated in the past that he doesn’t believe that Jesus granted Christians salvation simply to forbid them from wearing pants. That’s a good line — and a simple but easily understandable expression of why he believes that over-the-top modesty theology is flawed. We have to believe that he doesn’t really care about the shorts. If anything, maybe Jinger cropped herself out for the sake of her family. A lot of ans have been holding out hope that Jinger’s move to a diverse, vibrant city will help her take larger steps away from the Duggars. It’s not that people don’t want her to love and talk to her siblings. It’s just that, well, her whole family is in a secretive, abusive cult and that’s not good for anyone. Nobody’s demanding that she give up her personal religious beliefs, just shed the trappings of her family’s diehard fundamentalism. Jinger has taken great steps in that direction. Fans hope that she’ll go much further. View Slideshow: Jinger Duggar Shares Adorable Pics of Her “Little Family,” Melts Fans’ Hearts
Any true fans of Britney Spears rejoiced at the news that Jamie Spears is no longer her conservator (for now). But many have hoped that he’ll be brought to justice over an alleged attack on Britney’s son Sean Preston. Unfortunately (but unsurprisingly), police who were investigating have thrown up their hands and announced that Jamie will not be charged. Ventura County District Attorney Gregory D. Totten had the unenviable task of reporting that justice will not be served. “Criminal charges will not be filed against James Spears, of Westlake Village,” Totten announced, according to RadarOnline . He continued: “The Ventura County Sheriff’s Office investigated allegations involving child abuse by Mr. Spears.” “After reviewing the evidence,” Totten confessed. “There is insufficient proof that a criminal offense was committed by Mr. Spears.” That is a disappointment, but not a shocker. An inside source previously related the alleged events in question to RadarOnline . “Britney had the boys at Jamie’s condo on the evening of August 24,” the insider began. “Jamie and Sean Preston got into an argument,” the source noted. The insider explained that “Sean Preston felt unsafe and locked himself into a room.” No child should ever be given reason to feel unsafe around family, but it’s doubly awful that this was not enough to remove him from harm’s way. “Jamie broke into the room and shook Sean Preston,” the source revealed, matching up with all other descriptions of the event. That is awful. That is a description of abuse. “Jamie has a temper,” another insider noted. “Which is no secret to anyone in the family.” “Fortunately, Britney did the right thing,” the source continued. “And,” the insider said, the pop superstar “took her boys to safety and away from her father.” “The whole incident was very upsetting to her and her boys,” the source related. The insider added: “Kevin was and still is furious.” “Preston was not physically injured,” the source noted. “But very scared and shaken up.” Pun not intended, we hope. Most domestic abuse does not result in physical injuries. It doesn’t make it any less evil. So why is it not shocking that Jamie isn’t being charged with anything? Because most of us are all too aware of how little our society actually cares about the safety of children — at least when it comes to danger in their families. Look in the comments section of almost any story about domestic violence against a child, and you’re likely to see people applauding it. Additionally, our legal system is centuries old and not designed to prosecute abuse of a girlfriend, spouse, or child. When it was designed, remember, wives and children were essentially property of men. Too many times, investigations — even those with eyewitnesses — end with police shrugging at “insufficient evidence of a crime.” That has to change. In the mean time, thankfully, both Sean Preston and Jayden James are safe from that elderly ogre of a man. Britney is under a conservatorship, meaning that she felt that she could not sufficiently protect her sons from her father since he runs her life. So she did what any responsible mother would and amended her custody agreement so that Kevin has custody 70% of the time. Now, the boys are safe even with her, as they have restraining orders keeping Jamie away from them for the next three years. With luck, these orders will keep Britney’s sons safe for the rest of Jamie’s life. View Slideshow: Britney Spears Fans Accuse Her Team of Orchestrating Cover-Up, Faking Pics & Videos
In the age of social media, it seems like it’s every day that we see someone killed by police–or even without police present, we see people being shot all across our timelines. Of all the videos that have we’ve been subjected to over the years, there definitely hasn’t been a story with as many twists as this one. Text “RICKEY” to 71007 to join the Rickey Smiley Morning Show mobile club for exclusive news. ( Terms and conditions ). According to KTLA , officials received a call from a distressed woman stating that she wanted her son removed from their home. While talking to the dispatcher, they lost contact with the woman and around that time, deputy Meagan Forsberg arrived at the scene. As soon as she made contact with the man identified as 21-year-old Ari Young, he became combative and hostile. Young immediately began bashing the deputy in the head and forcing her to the ground. Once on the ground, her weapon is pulled and discharged. However, Young forcibly removed the gun from Forsberg’s possession and after he obtained the weapon, the deputy began to run and Young discharged the firearm in her direction.

Source: Kevin Mazur / Getty According to FoxNews , Britney Spears ’ father Jamie has been accused of physically abusing her teenage son with former husband Kevin Federline . The folks at US Weekly magazine obtained a police report that detailed the incident between 61-year-old Jamie Spears and 13-year-old Sean Preston last month. Sean and his younger brother Jayden James, 12, were visiting their grandfather at his condo in California when he allegedly got into an argument with Spears. He reportedly “felt unsafe” and locked himself in a room but Spears managed to break in and allegedly “shook” the boy, a law enforcement source told the magazine. Following the fight Britney took the boys from the house and dropped them off with Federline. The next day, K-Fed filed for a domestic violence restraining order against Jamie that forbade him from all contact with the boys according to NYDailyNews . “Kevin wants to assure that Britney has the most reasonable custody with the kids that is consistent with their best interests,” Federline’s lawyer, Mark Vincent Kaplan said on Tuesday. “The kids love their mother, and Kevin doesn’t want to do anything that would be inconsistent with that,” he said.

Last month, Amber Portwood was arrested for domestic violence after allegedly attacking Andrew Glennon while he held their son. Now, she's getting support from a former castmate — and quite possibly the last person you'd expect. Farrah Abraham is cheering on Amber, telling her that she knows that she can make it as a single mom. “I mean, I wish her all the best,” Farrah expresses in her interview with HollywoodLife . She continues: “It's really sad that … I think it's just like everyone is saying. She has to focus on her health and her well-being.” “I know it hurts, as a mom, to have your kids taken away,” Farrah adds. “I know it hurts to sometimes make wrong choices and get off the beaten path that she wants to be on,” she notes. “And the more that we all talk about that, that she talks about that, that's awesome,” Farrah raves. “For Amber,” Farrah says. “My message would be, ‘I wish you all the best and I know how that feels, and I understand.’” “I’m empathetic to what she’s going through,” the reality villain affirms. “But I really really hope that she can be alone, go solo, be a solo girl,” Farrah expresses. “And,” she continues. “Be that strong independent fierce woman that I know is inside of her.” Farrah notes that Amber is a person who is strong “and who can easily have two kids on her own.” Now, Farrah is the first to admit that she is out of the loop and has been since she left Teen Mom OG in a huff. “They’ve definitely probably splitted ways after that,” Farrah muses. “I can only imagine,” she says with sympathy. “This is her second go round of her losing custody of a child,” Farrah notes. “And,” she concludes. “I’m sure that’s not taken lightly.” A little piece of advice for everyone? Firework displays just aren't that important. They're noisy pollution sources. But reports say that it was over a missed firework show that Amber lost her temper and allegedly attacked Andrew. With a shoe, she allegedly pummeled him while he held their child, and even demanded that he set down James. She also allegedly hacked at a door with a machete — an image from everyone's nightmares — in her fury. We are so glad that Andrew escaped with minimal injuries and that 1-year-old James was physically unharmed. Despite what sounds like a one-sided incident, Farrah is not the first Teen Mom star (past or present) to sympathize with Amber. Catelynn Lowell voiced her support for Amber with a message that could only be interpreted as “believe attackers!” She and Maci Bookout both showed up in court in to root for Team Amber. It may be that they're simply siding with their friend out of habit. Others have suggested that perhaps Amber's mental health made her actions in July fully outside of her control. Perhaps the court and a series of expert witnesses will decide that. This is not Amber's first arrest for domestic violence. Famously, years ago, she attacked baby daddy Gary Shirley. The violence was caught on camera. Amber managed to strike a deal that would have avoided prison time, but ended up behind bars anyway. Most had hoped that she had learned her lesson and gotten the help that she needed. No one ever has the right to strike or otherwise attack a member of their family. Yes, even if they're mad about fireworks.
