Make It Official: Kris Jenner Tells Kourtney K. To Leave The BabyMama Life Behind And Marry Scott Disick

Time for yet another Kardashian wedding? Kris Jenner Demands That Kourtney And Scott Get Married Before Baby #3 Kris Jenner is not about that BabyMama life. The family Momager is putting her foot down and insisting that the Kourney and Scott officially become crowned Lord And Lady Disick once and for all — especially if Kourtney is going to keep popping out Scott’s babies . Via MailOnline : Kris Jenner has someone she’d like her daughter Kourtney’Kardashian’s partner Scott Disick to call: Her pastor! Kris was all smiles in the premiere episode of Keeping Up with the Kardashians last night when Kourtney, 35, confirmed that she is indeed pregnant with her third child with Scott, 31. They are already the parents of four-year-old son Mason and daughter Penelope, 23 months. But although momager Kris is thrilled she’s going to be a grandma again in December; behind the scenes she’s not so thrilled that her daughter and her boyfriend of the past 8 years have still not made it down the aisle. ‘Committing to parent three kids, when you haven’t even committed to each other doesn’t cut it in Kris’s book,’ says a family friend. ‘She comes from a time when, if a girl got pregnant and was still single, she got married as soon as possible. ‘And although she understands times have changed, she still has religious values and feels it’s only right that Scott make an “honest woman” out of her little girl.’ Mama Kris even wants the couple to get married at the church SHE started: In fact, 58-year-old Kris regularly attends church services at the California Community Church in Agoura Hills, California – a church founded by… her. She used to attend a Baptist Church in Westlake where she listened to sermons by Rev. Brad Johnson. But when the pastor resigned in disgrace over his affair with a mistress – who he has since married – Kris tracked him down at his new job serving up coffee at Starbucks, and made him an offer he couldn’t refuse. Now they are partners in a church that boasts giving people second chances. But besides that, he can marry people. In fact, he performed the September 2009 marriage ceremony between Khloe Kardashian and Lamar Odom, making him only a phone call away should Scott and Kourtney decide to tie the knot. Right…because the marriage between Khloe and Lamar worked out so well… It seems like although the women in this family can get married in lavish style with little issue…they have a much harder time actually maintaining these relationships. Maybe Kourtney is onto something with her nontraditional family?

Positivity? Study Finds That Drug Testing Boosts African-American Employment Rate

When assumptions “backfire…” Study Proves Drug Testing Benefits Black Job Applicants Apparently since employers are often already under the assumption that Black job applicants are drug users, testing actually prevents them from going with their racist gut instincts and increases the chances of drug-free Black applicants gaining employment . Via Time Magazine : It’s no secret that America’s war on drugs hasn’t gone well, at least in economic and racial terms. Labor economist Abigail Wozniak investigated the relationship between race, drug testing, and employment, publishing a paper in the National Bureau of Economic Research with her findings. Surprisingly, she found that the rise of drug testing actually boosts African-American employment by a significant percentage: In states with a high prevalence of drug testing, African-American employment increased between 7% and 30%, while wages increased between 1.4 and 13%. “A common assumption is that the rise of drug testing must have had negative consequences for black employment,” she writes. “However, the rise of employer drug testing may have benefited African-Americans by enabling non-using blacks to prove their status to employers.” In case you missed it: She’s saying that, because African-Americans are perceived to use more drugs, drug testing enables them to objectively prove to employers that they don’t, which therefore results in increased employment. While it’s great to see the system work in our favor…it’s still pretty messed up to have to disprove a racist assumption before even getting a foot in the door!

Edita Vilkeviciute Naked for Industrie Magazine of the Day in Shorts of the Day

Edita Vilkeviciute is a model and she looks like she’s a lot of fun…in the way she lets people take suggestive pictures of her under the assumption it is for high concept fashion and art, while really it’s just soft core porn…it’s so hard to tell the difference especially when you are the one taking the pics of the bitch who would never do it knowing it was designed for people like you to jerk off to, but rather designed for the fashion industry to say “look at her angles, she really has talent, lets’ book her for this million dollar campaign”… We call this a WIN / Win situation…. Here are the pics for Industrie (not a porn mag) magazine.

10 Myths About Single Black Mothers

The idiom “don’t judge a book by its cover” is rarely taken into consideration when it comes to single mothers. Most often, the assumption is that all single moms, especially those who are African American, have the same story—characters, plot line, ending, and all. And the media doesn’t do much to dispel the stereotypes that lead to these assumptions, in fact, most portrayals of ‘single black mothers’ tell the same old story.

Is This the Most Eerily Prepared Child Star Ever?

I was under the assumption that Disney Channel stars endured the worst It Factor hard-wiring, but Nickelodeon just debunked that with an atomic “It” bomb named Reed Alexander. He’s a 15-year-old iCarly actor who fancies himself a Mario Batali for tweens, and he’s prepared for a syndication deal. Alexander appeared this morning with Kathie Lee Gifford and Hoda Kotb on Today to talk about making “great make-ahead desserts” that are “so fun for your friends in the summertime.” Which is fine! Except that he’s the most frightening child you. Have. Ever. Seen.

You Again Trailer: Can Sigourney Weaver and Betty White Rescue Kristen Bell’s Catfight Comedy?

If there’s anything I’ve learned from reading Jezebel , it’s that women love paparazzi pictures of celebrities but hate the assumption that they can’t get along with each other. How to explain, then, the preponderance of movies like Mean Girls, Bride Wars , and the new Kristen Bell comedy You Again , which suggest women are never more entertaining then when they’re taking each other down?
