Source: WENN / WENN A K-9 for the Brevard County Sheriff’s Office in Florida is still recovering after overdosing on Ecstacy while sniffing for Narcotics on a cruise. Sheriff’s Office spokesman, Tod Goodyear, told reporters , “(The dog) started having some problems with balance and had some type of seizure incident of some sort, was showing effects of having inhaled some substance. They administered the Narcan and got (the dog) to the vet as quick as they could.” Leslie Bennett was boarding the Norwegian Epic Cruise when police discovered a small bag of pills in his boxers, which tested positive for Ecstasy and amphetamine. The 33-year old was arrested on drug charges and was among a dozen passengers who were charged while trying to board the cruise. Hopefully the pup survives the incident because according to Godyear, “Narcan is generally for opiates and Ecstasy would be an amphetamine, so I don’t know if it would be of any assistance to the K-9 at all.” Fingers crossed.

But pulling over to the side of the road for a break is nothing compared to landing a plane in the middle of a California highway. According to NBC7 San Diego , a single-engine plane had to make an emergency landing last Friday due to an engine failure mid-flight. The aircraft was piloted by a 36-year-old flight student and a 25-year-old instructor. When the engine started having problems, the student handed over the reigns to the instructor, and they landed the plane right in the middle of Interstate 8 in El Cajon. No cars were hit and no one was injured. “For them to make that landing and have nobody else involved in it, I’d say that’s a miracle,” said California Highway Patrol Officer Travis Garrow. Boss. A couple managed to capture the amazing landing stunt on video, which you can check out here .
It's no secret that Rob Kardashian has struggled greatly with his weight for the past few years. It's actually the opposite of a secret, much like every other fact about this family. Rob's issues with his weight began when he broke up with Rita Ora after she allegedly cheated on him with “nearly 20 dudes,” as he explained it. He took the split hard, and he started eating his feelings. Over time, he continued eating that way, and started refusing to leave his house. It was a dark couple of years for him — so dark that a little over a year ago, he was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes after a big health scare. Shortly after that, he announced his relationship with Blac Chyna, and she actually helped him lose a lot of weight. He kept it off for a few months, but then gained it all back when, again, he started having some relationship issues. What a sad, unhealthy rollercoaster, right? And it looks like we're doing this thing all over again, because Rob was hospitalized for another diabetes scare last month, then he and Chyna made up. And now, as evidenced in this video Chyna shared on Snapchat, he's lost a WHOLE bunch of weight again. See Rob's latest amazing transformation in the video below:
Plus-size models and modeling have gained a lot of traction in 2013, as they a purpose beyond marketing plus-size clothing to a growing market. They also provide women with a more diverse range of bodies to look up to, which potentially improves self-confidence, body image and social norms. So if we have plus-size models … should plus-size Barbies be next? That’s the question posed recently by Plus-Size-Modeling (dot) com on Facebook … The illustration of a plus-size Barbie doll actually comes from a contest on Worth1000.com, a site where artists compete in daily creative competitions. The image, created by artist bakalia, won a contest called “Feeding Time 9.” But when re- posted last week by Plus-Size-Modeling (dot) com, the depiction of Barbie with a double chin and a curvier physique sparked debate. Over 35,000 people have “liked” it, but many criticize it, asking whether society should be praising being overweight any more than being too skinny. Maria Kang has yet to weigh in … but we know where she stands. “No one is naturally fat for gods sake, that’s sending the wrong message to girls that it’s ok to look like this and be unhealthy…” said one commenter. Another noted, “Imo this is horrible. Maybe make her a little fuller, but in no way promote obesity. Triple chins?? Really?? Im a curvy girl, but come on this is ridiculous.” The debate mirrors one waged in the fashion world when Curvy Girl lingerie kicked off a campaign to share images of “regular” women in their underwear. Because several of those models were overweight, the campaign was criticized for allegedly encouraging unhealthy habits and promoting obesity. There were also those who wondered aloud where the “average” size bodies are. In other words, bodies that are neither “plus-size” nor a size 0. As one commenter noted beneath the Barbie image on Plus-Size-Modeling, “Wish there was an ‘average’ Barbie. Not skinny, not obese. Normal.” On that note, artist Nickolay Lamm recently created a 3-D model of an “average” Barbie-like doll, based on CDC estimates of an average 19-year-old. “If we criticize skinny models, we should at least be open to the possibility that Barbie may negatively influence young girls as well,” Lamm said. Check out that artist’s rendering of ” normal Barbie ” below, as well as another conceptualization of Barbie without makeup … she’s really a hot topic!
Demi Lovato performed Friday night as part of Miami’s Y100 Jingle Ball, and then stopped backstage for an interview with the radio station. The young superstar talked in the Q&A about crazy celebrity gossip stories, “moving on” from The X Factor and whether or not any celebrities out there need plastic surgery. “I shouldn’t even think this,” Lovato replied to that question. “It should be me! I should get a boob job. They’re like mosquito bites.” HA! We love it. Especially because Demi has struggled for years with body image, ending up in rehab toward the end of 2010, partly as a result of an eating disorder. She told Katie Couric in 2012: “When I started having body image issues I remember being three years old in a diaper and rubbing my hand over my stomach … and I remember thinking in my head ‘I wonder if one day this will ever be flat?'” So it’s sort of nice to now see Lovato joking about her figure, isn’t it? It’s proof that she doesn’t take it so seriously anymore. Watch the full interview now, send Demi happy holiday wishes and prepare for her to go on tour in 2014.
