Congrats !!! Black Weather Woman Fired For Defending Natural Hair Gets New Job Via The Grio reports: Rhonda Lee, a meteorologist thrust into the national spotlight in 2012 after she was fired from a TV station for responding to a viewer’s racist remarks about her Afro, has a new gig. The Vane reports that Lee announced Friday that she’s been hired as meteorologist by WeatherNation. Lee was fired from the KTBS-TV, an ABC affiliate in Shreveport, La., during the winter holiday season in 2012, she told Journal-isms at the time, because she responded to a racial remark posted by a viewer, Emmitt Vacocu, on October 1 on the station’s Facebook page. He wrote, “the black lady that does the news is a very nice lady.the only thing is she needs to wear a wig or grow some more hair. im not sure if she is a cancer patient.” Lee responded the same day: “Hello Emmitt–I am the ‘black lady’ to which you are referring. I’m sorry you don’t like my ethnic hair. And no I don’t have cancer. I’m a non-smoking, 5’3, 121 lbs, 25 mile a week running, 37.5 year old woman, and I’m in perfectly healthy physical condition. “I am very proud of my African-American ancestry which includes my hair. For your edification: traditionally our hair doesn’t grow downward. It grows upward. Many Black women use strong straightening agents in order to achieve a more European grade of hair and that is their choice. However in my case I don’t find it necessary. I’m very proud of who I am and the standard of beauty I display. Women come in all shapes, sizes, nationalities, and levels of beauty. Showing little girls that being comfortable in the skin and HAIR God gave me is my contribution to society. Little girls (and boys for that matter) need to see that what you look like isn’t a reason to not achieve their goals. “Conforming to one standard isn’t what being American is about and I hope you can embrace that. “Thank you for your comment and have a great weekend and thank for watching.” Welcome back, Rhonda!
We have an update on the unexpected death of Matt Bendik . As previously reported, the 35-year old nightclub owner and boyfriend of Glee actress Becca Tobin was found dead by a housekeeper in his Philadelphia hotel room yesterday. Matt Bendik Found Dead According to TMZ sources, many questions remain regarding what happened to Bendik , but local police are labeling the passing as “sudden.” They say his body was found face down around 1 p.m and that no foul play is suspected. Bendik seemingly died in his sleep, with no drugs or drug paraphernalia found in the room, nor any mention of alcohol or medications. There were no weapons at the scene and no signs of bodily harm. The last person to see Bendik alive was reportedly the manager of a club he, Tobin and friends frequented on Wednesday night, shooting down reports that he and Becca left together that evening. Police, as you might expect, are anxious to interview the actress, whose whereabouts at the time of Bendik’s body being found are unknown at this time. Celebrities We Lost in 2014 1.

Just about the only thing I know about this bikini hottie Natalie Jameson is that she was a Miss Universe Australia finalist back in 2012, and I’m guessing she didn’t make the cut, considering that’s all an exhaustive 10 seconds of Googling her name was able to turn up. But if that’s the case, after checking out these bikini pictures, I’m thinking Natalie got robbed. Because there’s no way a bikini body this sweet could ever lose a swimsuit competition. So I demand a do-over. Preferably with me as the judge this time. » view all 15 photos
Question for cats across the Internet: What’s the matter?!? We’re all familiar with Grumpy Cat , a feline who has risen to online fame specifically for being in a bad mood.

That’s the awesome nickname given to the pet featured below by Ashley Herring, who has posted pictures of her furry friend on Imgur. How did he earn such a moniker?

Beyonce and Solange’s father, Matthew Knowles is being sued by a woman named TaQoya Branscomb, who alleges that the former Destiny’s Child manager is the father of her 4-year-old child. Matthew Knowles Paternity Suit The case isn’t terribly shocking, as Knowles acknowledged in 2010 that he had fathered a child by a different woman and was ordered to pay $12,000 a month in child support. (A figure that was drastically reduced after an irate Beyonce fired him and his income diminished.) What is surprising about 63-year-old Matthew’s second possible baby mama is that he reportedly met the woman through his daughter Solange – who was at the time one of TaQoya’s best friends. Solange, of course, was unaware that her friend was having sex with her father. The youngest Knowles girl has yet to speak publicly about the scandal, but knowing what we know about Solange’s fighting skills , we’d recommend that Matthew keep his distance from Bey’s little sis for a while. Of course, Matthew’s paternity suit isn’t the only scandal to rock the Knowles’ family in recent months. Allegations that Jay Z cheated on Beyonce have been circulating non-stop without being formally addressed by either half of the power couple. 21 Celebrities Who Are Known Cheaters 1. Tiger Woods Really, everyone else on this list is just playing for second place.
Yesterday, reports that Khloe Kardashian had packed on pounds since dating French Montana sparked the usual round of baby bump speculation. Rumors that Khloe is pregnant date back to her time with Lamar Odom, but she’s mostly kept mum on the subject, and some began to wonder if Khloe has any real desire to be a mom. Well, we now have somewhat of an answer, as Khloe revealed in a recent interview that she’s not pregnant now, but she plans to be in the near future. Maybe… 24 Klassic Khloe Kardashian Quotes F-ck me with a dildo if that’s what you think. Permalink: Eff me with a dildo! Added: July 09, 2014 1. Eff me with a dildo! F-ck me with a dildo if that’s what you think. “I feel like I’ve been pregnant for six years,” Khloe told People magazine when asked about the constant onslaught of pregnancy rumors. While she maintains her sense of humor when addressing the rumors, Khloe says all that baby bump talk took some getting used to: “I used to get offended, like, ‘Do I look fat today?’ or ‘Why are they saying that?’ but they just say it.” Then Khloe drops the real gem: “I mean one day the rumor will be true, I hope, but who knows? Until then, it is what it is.” So there you have it. Khloe has been dating French Montana since April and now she’s talking babies. Don’t be surprised to see Khloe follow in her big sister’s footsteps and go from divorcing a basketball player to getting knocked up by a considerably less famous rapper.

As you guys probably already know, since I’m guessing you could here the collective crying all the way up here in the US, Brazil got absolutely crushed by Germany in the World Cup yesterday. And considering Brazil has crazy hot fans like Alessandra Ambrosio here, that’s pretty sad news for the rest of us non-soccer fans too who’d been hoping for some kind of bikini-themed victory celebration at the end of this whole thing. So I’d like to officially offer my condolences to my favorite MILF Alessandra, as well as a shoulder to cry on. Hmm, actually, make that a lap. » view all 16 photos Photos: WENN.com Continue reading →
Normally whenever I write about a British hottie, I tend to focus mostly on their bustiness, but considering Sam Faiers isn’t giving me much to work with in that department in these shots, my eyes were actually able to make their way a couple inches lower this time around. And once they did, I realized what a great set of stems Sam’s got too. Who knew? All she needs now is a willingness to date (or at least hook up with) a blogger and she’ll be the total package. Fingers crossed. » view all 20 photos Photos: WENN.com Continue reading →
