Source: Dann Tardif / Dann Tardif While skin bleaching is a billion-dollar industry, the World Health Organization and other organizations want everyone to put down those “toxic” creams and to “[avoid them] at all costs.” While the WHO claims that these creams are not only high in mercury, the UK’s Local Government Association reported that they “act like paint stripper and increase the risk of cancer.” “Hydroquinone can remove the top layer of skin, increasing the risk of skin cancer and cause fatal liver and kidney damage,” the LGA found. “Mercury can cause similar life-threatening health problems.” According to CNN , these creams also are linked to depression, bacterial and fungal infections, and anxiety. While in the U.S. the products aren’t banned, in the UK those with harmful ingredients are, but officials in Britain have noticed an influx of illegal products being sold at local markets, which is sparking a potential health crisis. “Skin creams containing banned ingredients are very dangerous and could seriously damage your health, scar you for life and even kill you, so they should be avoided at all costs,” said Blackpool Councilor Simon Blackburn in the press release. But it’s important to point out that this issue isn’t just a UK issue. See, skin bleaching is an estimated 20 billion dollar industry around the world, being especially popular in African, Asian and Caribbean countries. According to Business Insider , 70 percent of women in Nigeria alone are using a lightening product. Colorism is real. This warning isn’t the only time skin bleaching creams have made recent headlines. Last week, two Japanese comedians joked that tennis star Naomi Osaka , who is both Haitian and Japanese, should bleach her skin because she’s too dark. When folks got wind of this, they dragged the duo on social media and sparked an apology from them later. Osaka’s response? “‘Too sunburned’ lol that’s wild. Little did they know, with Shiseido anessa perfect uv sunscreen I never get sunburned,” she posted . “Too sunburned” lol that’s wild.

The Houston beauty is September’s cover star for L’Officiel Magazine . She was interviewed by none other than the Diamond Princess herself – Trina for the cover story! Check out excerpts below: Solange on creating: “I feel my most sure and beautiful when I am creating the work. When I am thick in the midst of my own guidance…when I am creating I am using and speaking from other parts of myself. My gut, my legs, my heart, my fingers, my throat. That feels like the best me.” Solange on her album, When I Get Home: “I wanted to create a bit more of a world with When I Get Home. A mecca that spoke to an environment and an expression. A place that you could go sonically and visually and digitally and feel immersed in as a project about what exactly the process of home is and the feelings behind it…This album was purely about feeling.” Solange on collaborating: “I find out things about myself that I can’t necessarily speak to when I am collaborating. There are so many facets of who I am, and that articulation just feels so much wider and more expansive when someone helps bring something out of you that you wouldn’t normally express…it can be the most rewarding feeling ever. More importantly, I learn so damn much.” View this post on Instagram Solange is redefining popular culture, one performance at a time. Her latest project?

Source: Cindy Ord / Getty Jhené Aiko’s “Triggered (Freestyle)” Gets The Remix Treatment Jhené Aiko has blessed us with another installment of her track, “Triggered (freestyle).” The new remix features a little help from 21 Savage and Summer Walker, who both follow Aiko’s lead in talking about their failed relationships. The songstress originally dropped “Triggered” back in May before also released a video for the song. While a lot of people took this as a diss song toward her on-again off-again boyfriend Big Sean , Jhené took to Twitter following the track’s release to assure everyone that the feelings she felt on the track are no longer. “triggered” was a moment. a moment that for me has passed. it is new to you because ur just now hearing it, but for me… it's something i moved on from the moment i expressed it. — Chilombo (@JheneAiko) May 8, 2019 Hopefully, this new remix means we’re closer and closer to some more new music from the California native, whose most recent album came out 2 years ago. In the meantime, take a listen to the “Triggered” remix down below:
Back in June, the world learned that Lisa Vanderpump is not returning to The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills . Sarah Paulson, first-rate actress and Real Housewives superfan, has something to say about it. Not only will she not miss Lisa on the show, but she had her own encounter with the SUR owner that cemented her opinion. To explain the set-up that you will see in the video that we have included, Sarah Paulson sat down for a lie-detector test. In the video for Vanity Fair , she sits down with a serious-sounding interrogation on her life, her career, and her pop culture interests. One should note that lie detector tests detect stress indicators, not lies, and are so bogus that results aren't admissible in court. One should also note that a “real” test would involve simple answers, mostly “yes” or “no.” But this is all in good fun. Until, that is, Sarah is asked about the franchise that she so openly adores — the Real Housewives . Sarah is asked if she'll miss Lisa Vanderpump now that she has departed from The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills . “Um, you know, I don’t want her coming after me on Twitter,” Sarah admits, which already tells you her answer. “But,” she continues. “I won’t miss her.” “I miss the dynamic she brings to the group,” Sarah acknowledges. She clarifies: “Which is, you know, the fear of God she instills in everyone.” “But no, I won’t miss her,” Sarah continues. Don't worry, folks — she explains precisely why. “I met her once at a party,” the acclaimed actress reveals. “She wasn’t that nice to me,” Sarah admits. “Am I going to get in trouble for that?” she asks. “She wasn’t that nice!” Sarah was also asked if she thinks that The Real Housewives of New York City will crumble and fail without Bethenny Frankel . “I think the star of The Real Housewives is the franchise itself,” Sarah opines. “So,” she predicts. “I think [ RHONY ] will survive without her.” “Although I personally will miss her,” Sarah admits. She then adds: “I’d like them to bring back Jill Zarin, though.” So, if Sarah's acting career were to go sideways, would she want to be a Real Housewife? Of course. But where? “New York,” Sarah answers. “New York is my number one.” “It’s my OG, as the kids say,” she adds. She even knows her tagline. Sarah shares: “Probably what my tagline is on Twitter, too: ‘Always hungry.’” “I’m an actress, after all,” she notes. This is absolutely not the first time that Sarah has gushed about her love for the franchise. Sarah absolutely adores Dorinda Medley, who came out to surprise her a couple of years ago on Watch What Happens Live . “I love her hair, I love her nose, I love the way she talks, I love the way she walks, I love her relationship with her daughter,” Sarah raved at the time. “I think she’s really funny,” she added. “And I think she’s no-bulls–t except for when she is, which I admire.” “And um, God, her walk. Did I mention her walk?” Sarah asks. “She’s got a good walk. I really love that walk.”
Kate and Toby were at the center of This Is Us Season 4 Episode 2. And so was their son, Jack, which is where the problems between the couple arose. We’ll start with this: A clearly thinner Toby simply could not hide his anxiety over the baby boy’s diagnosis of blindness on this installment of the NBC drama. The family remarked on Toby’s weight loss, which he attributed to stress and stress only. Kate, for her part, appeared to be holding things together and also appeared to be unshaken by any new developments. The husband and wife did get plenty support from Kevin, Rebecca, Miguel and Madison as they navigated the ins and outs of parenting a child who cannot see. Kate eventually lost it when she thought about Jack never getting to see a Pittsburgh Steelers game — and she wondered whether his condition was her fault because doctors warned her not to get pregnant. However, she regained her inner strength once she decided that he would live a limitless life… with the Pearsons’ assistance. She was still struggling, though. Could anyone blame her? Toby noted that Kate was overeating to cope and that he was worried about her, while he was secretly sneaking to the gym to work out and slim down. Elsewhere… Kevin also attempted to remain busy to maintain his sobriety. He helped Kate and Toby… went to Alcoholics Anonymous meetings… wrapped a new film with M. Night Shyamalan … and considered a job offer in Chicago. However, he could not stop thinking about Nicky (Griffin Dunne), who totally ghosted him after Kevin wired him bail money. Instead of heading to Illinois to take a meeting about a new movie, Kevin traveled to Nicky’s trailer to figure out what was up with him. Watch This Is Us Season 4 Episode 2 Online Nearby, Randall, Beth and the girls settled into life in Pittsburgh. Tess (Eris Baker) and Deja (Lyric Ross) wanted to express their independence, naturally, by getting a kinda crazy haircut and riding the city bus to school alone, respectively — but their parents hesitated. Ultimately, they caved as viewers discovered that Deja’s route passed by Malik’s auto shop and she had been flirting with him via text message. Finally… In flashbacks, Jack, Rebecca and the Big Three went to the pool, yet it was nothing like their Season 1 trip. Unfortunately. The children were about to begin seventh grade and were not into hanging with their mom and dad. Kevin and Randall argued over their less than brotherly treatment of each other… and Kate kissed a boy after falling prey to a prank by popular girls. This Is Us airs on NBC Tuesdays at 9/8c.
Kailyn Lowry seems to make a genuine effort to get along with her baby daddies. But there's a difference between being friendly and what Javi Marroquin wanted her to do at this year's Teen Mom 2 reunion taping. Now, we already knew that Javi cheated on his fiancee, Lauren Comeau . What we didn't know until now was that he (allegedly) tried to hook up with Kailyn Lowry behind her back. We're guessing Lauren is having second thoughts about giving her man another chance right about now! Take a look: 1. Handsy Javi Kail and Javi have hooked up several times since ending their marriage back in 2016. And clearly, it’s an arrangement he thought would continue … 2. He Was Wrong The problem with that, of course, is that Javi is engaged to Lauren Comeau. And as far as we know, the couple is not in an open relationship. 3. Popping the Question Of course, Javi and Lauren’s engagement was a new development when Kail filmed her scenes for this week’s Teen Mom 2. And while Comeau seemed to believe Javi had changed his cheating ways … Lowry was less convinced. 4. Not Exactly Low-Key But as Javi learned the hard way this week, it’s hard to get away with cheating when a camera crew follows both you and your attempted cheating partner all day. 5. Revisiting the Past On a recent Teen Mom 2 “Unseen Moments” special, Lowry revealed that Javi tried to hook up with her at this year’s reunion taping. Last night, she discussed the incident again. 6. Letting It All Out “He tried to f–k me,” she claimed. “It just aired and Javi was pissed, but I stand by what I said,” View Slideshow
There was a time when Kailyn Lowry made a concerted effort to maintain civil relationships with her baby daddies. We think it’s safe to say those days are done. Yesterday, we learned that Lowry still hates Jo Rivera . And today, she’s got her sights set on Javi Marroquin. On the latest episode of her Coffee Convos podcast, Kail engaged in a little thought experiment with co-host Lindsie Chrisley. Basically, Lindsie tried to get to the bottom of Kail’s views on matrimony by asking if she would “choose to never be married or [be] married to the same man or woman three times.” “Never be married,” Lowry promptly replied. “I could never, I would never marry Javi ever again.” Jeez, Kail. Tell us how you really feel! Chrisley attempted to keep the tone light, joking, “We know that, duh.” But Kail wasn’t kidding around. In fact, it sounded like she was dead serious in her response. Lowry went on to say that not only would she never marry Javi again, she can’t see herself getting hitched to anyone — at least not legally. “I’d given it a lot of thought over the last, probably several weeks,” she stated. “Like, if I was to get, like, married again, I don’t know that I would go legal with it. I think I would do like a commitment ceremony.” Kail found her inspiration for this stance in a pair of fellow MTV reality stars. “Yeah, 100 percent not like I would pull a Brody Jenner [and Kaitlynn Carter] for sure,” she said. “I’m pretty sure it was a commitment ceremony. They said that they were never legally married.” As you probably know, Brody and Kaitlynn recently called it quits , and Carter promptly entered a relationship with Miley Cyrus. Shortly thereafter, Kaitlynn and Miley broke up , but as messy as the situation got, we suppose it was all made easier by the fact that Jenner and Carter were never legally hitched. In fact, their breakup seemed to be a fairly amicable one. So maybe Kail is onto something with this whole “commitment ceremony” business. That’s open for debate, of course, but one thing is for certain — she’s got the right idea when it comes to never giving Javi another chance. Unfortunately, Lauren Comeau is learning about Marroquin the hard way these days! View Slideshow: Kailyn Lowry: Javi Marroquin Tried to Cheat on Lauren Comeau … With ME!
Okay, wow. The only thing more shocking than Kelly Dodd's reign of terror over her fellow Housewives is the knowledge that Kelly has no regrets . On this week's episode of The Real Housewives of Orange County , however, Kelly was more furious than we've ever seen her. Vicki spread one rumor too many — this time, one that drags Kelly's daughter, Jolie, into the drama. This was too much for Kelly, who put Vicki on blast. But Kelly went so far as to tell Vicki: “You are a f–king psycho, you f–king pig bitch, you liar f–king c–t!” That, however, wasn't the verbal blow that made Vicki burst into tears . 1. Kelly Dodd and Vicki Gunvalson Kelly Dodd and Vicki Gunvalson’s friendship has been strained by a recent feud. 2. Vicki is up to her old tricks again! Remember when Tamra and Shannon tried to have a mini-intervention for Vicki about her fondness for rumors? It looks like it didn’t quite take hold. 3. Vicki spins a new yarn She tells the other Housewives — while at a spiritual retreat, keep in mind — that she heard that Kelly is not allowed to set foot on school property where her daughter, Jolie, attends. 4. Here are her exact words: “She’s got a bad reputation ’cause of her, not ’cause of me. She’s blaming me for her bad reputation? She can’t even go to her daughter’s school!” Vicki tells Tamra, Shannon, and Emily 5. Tamra is instantly suspicious “Do you know this, or you heard this?” Tamra asks. Vicki replies: “I don’t … my daughter doesn’t go to that school.” She then says that she heard it from a woman in a nail salon whose daughter goes to that school. Sure, Jan. 6. Then Vicki gets unintentionally funny “I just … schematics, so let’s just say that,” Vicki says as the other women bombard her with questions. She clearly means SEMANTICS and, even then, it’s not clear how the word would help her weasel out of the bogus rumor that she blurted out. View Slideshow
