Tyra Banks Shares Photo of Son: See It Here!

Tyra Banks has had a healthy career in the spotlight, but she’s not one to talk much about her family. She’s one of the celebrities who likes to keep her personal life separate from her professional life.  Even though she  blessed Instagram with a picture of her son, York’s head in February  2016, she apparently wanted to keep her little bundle of joy under wraps for a bit longer.  No one can blame her. Not everyone wants their family paraded in front of the cameras.  That all changed on Father’s day when the America’s Got Talent host took to Instagram to show a picture of her son of to the world.  “To all the amazing daddies out there that love their kids unconditionally like my mommy’s daddy and my daddy, too … HAPPY FATHER’S DAY! -York

No Respect: Dead Passenger’s Half-Naked Body Dragged Down Aisle On American Airlines Flight

Image via DANIEL SLIM/AFP/Getty Images Dead Passenger Aboard American Flight Dragged Down Aisle In Her Underwear Despite the fact that we’ve spent the past few years screaming #BlackLivesMatter , America is consistent in their effort to prove us wrong. According to StarTribune , 48-year-old American Airlines passenger Theresa Hines died mid-flight in the plane’s bathroom. As if Ms. Hines’ sudden death wasn’t disturbing enough, a witnessing passenger says that when the EMTs came to remove Hines’ body, they left her bottom half exposed and dragged her down the aisle face up. One passenger is desperately lying to cover for the out-of-pocket EMT: “She was not half-naked,” said passenger Dave Sampsell in an e-mail. “Her pants were unfastened, but I saw nothing that any of the airline or EMT staff did inappropriately.” Maybe this guy is the EMT’s cousin or something, because several other passengers say Hines was absolutely exposed: “That’s baloney,” said passenger Art Endress. He said he was seated not far from the bathroom when an emergency medical technician (EMT) boarded with other responders, stood behind her head and “dragged her down the aisle.” “The EMT was out of line,” said Endress, 63, a research engineer at Southern Methodist University. “The flight attendants could have thrown a blanket on her” as she went past some of the 150 or so seated passengers, Endress added. Even in death, how embarrassing and disrespectful. SMH. R.I.P. Theresa Hines.

Editorial: Bill Maher And People Like Him Don’t Deserve Teachable Moments

(Photo by Mike Coppola/VF17/Getty Images for VF) Last week perpetual white guy, raging anti-semite and not-so-closeted racist Bill Maher casually referred to himself as a “house ni**a” on his “Real Time” show and was summarily raked through the coals for it. And of course, “raked through the coals” is a relative term because white men rarely face any real consequences for insulting other groups of people. So really, he was just slapped on the wrist by people on Twitter and met with a sternly worded letter by HBO. Other than that, he’s just fine. Maher tried to rectify the situation by inviting 75 percent of the black people he knows that he didn’t meet through Karrine Steffans onto his show. The results only made things worse. First Maher spoke to bestie Michael Eric Dyson about his upbringing by using the tried and true racist white guy trope: race wasn’t an issue where I grew up. Let’s get this straight. If you grew up in America, whether it’s Tupelo, Mississippi, Los Angeles, California or Newark, New Jersey, race was absolutely an issue where you grew up and it damn sure came up in conversation. If you feel differently, that’s because you’re privileged (see: white) enough to not have had to deal with it. Later in the show, Symone Sanders and Ice Cube came on the show to further check Maher on his use of the word. Of course, as usual, Cube and Sanders are on point. Oh yeah, Ice Cube gave @billmaher the talk he needed to hear pic.twitter.com/i7jYbCtm5P — Tommy Christopher (@tommyxtopher) June 10, 2017 However they both leaned on a phrase that bothered me: this is a teachable moment. The phrase has been used ad nauseam as of late when white people say or do something blatantly racist, homophobic or antisemitic. “Teachable moment” implies that the culprit of said insensitivity did so unintentionally and they need to be educated about their wrongdoings. And it’s generally the subjugated people who have to do the educating. F*** that noise. Bill Maher is beyond teachable moments. He’s been espousing the idea that white people should be able to use the N-word since at least 2001 when he not only repeated the word a dozen times, he silenced Anne-Marie Johnson , a black woman, who tried to offer him a “teachable moment” and even questioned her blackness. That was Maher’s chance to be taught. And he ignored it, instead he lived with a mentality that he should be able to say the N-word and never relented, finally convincing himself he could say it again on TV in 2017, as well as perpetuating hateful comments about Islam and blackness. That’s why Bill Maher doesn’t get any teachable moments. He had his chance. He ignored it. F*** him. In a general sense, it’s time to bury the idea of teachable moments for good. Take the N-word for example. Anyone in the age of Google, Twitter and working WIFI should know by now why black people can use the word and white people can’t. It takes two seconds to find out the answer. That’s why it’s absurd for someone to feel informed enough to spout ignorance without taking time to get educated. I can do a quick Google and find a serviceable amount of information on a topic to speak on it without reciting hate speech or mimicking violent language. Therefore I don’t need any damn teachable moments. Anyone who does otherwise is being willfully ignorant and activating their privilege to say what they want without caring about who it impacts. Teachable moments and the desire to turn racism into easily-solved Family Matters segments is how people like Bill Maher get a pass for their racism. It’s how Tory Lanez feels like spending $35,000 at a store that treated him with racism is some sort of gotcha lesson. And it’s how Katy Perry thinking that suddenly admitting to her racism gives her a pass to go on with her life. Teachable moments are simply hall passes for white folks to sit in front of black people hat-in-hand and get forgiven for racism without having to face any real consequences for their actions. You know what’s a real teachable moment for Bill Maher? Strip him of his show and make him work his way back onto television. Then he can learn that his words have meaning and that he can’t live a life full of unending second chances. Because there’s no such thing as a teachable moment without real life consequences for the rest of us. Bill Maher and his peers don’t deserve teachable moments. Because he’s been taught. Repeatedly. It’s his own fault for not listening.

Reese Witherspoon’s Erotica for The Edit of the Day

Reese Witherspoon was never hot to me, I just saw her as a scamming souther bitch, who played the wholesome card, and pulled off the whole Christian thing, by pumping out a bunch of kids, when really it was some satanic ritual that ate up and spat out the baby daddy Ryan Philippe, who was at his prime, to pave the way for her – to win OSCARS when really she was just a Legally Blonde chick… It’s so weird to me, knowing she went from chubby girl who could barely act, and who got shitty movie deals….to being top tier A-List…but I will say it has to do with her agent who she married after Philippe and who her kids call dad…because the industry is a fucking scam and none of these people are talent.

Kendall Jenner Braless of the Day

I still wish Robert Kardashian in his fall from the top – when Kris left him from Bruce and he went to defend OJ – even disposing of the evidence – like an accomplice…took his friend’s lead and took it to the next level – by killing Kris, her new man who is now a woman, and throw in their kids…since nothing good has come from the Kardashians…or the Jenners…they are bad for America….on all levels, I don’t care how much money they make, big business statistically are bad for America…these ones are just in the form of sluts, not OIL or whatever it is that’s killing the environment and our souls…but the point is, they are better off dead…that’s how little they contribute to society…. But at least they are braless, in a world where everyone under 25 is braless…just leave the house, despite how scary it is out there…just go for it…you’ll be amazed at how slutty girls are.

Vienna Girardi: Pregnant with Twins!

Bachelor “Villain” Vienna Girardi isn’t just pregnant, though that would be news enough. She’s expecting twins . Vienna Girardi wasn’t just a contestant on Season 14 of The Bachelor — she won Jake Pavelka’s heart in the final episode. And then the two of them split . But you could argue that her real claim to fame was their interview about their breakup. She accused him of being a habitual liar and of saying truly nasty things to her after about the first month of their post- Bachelor relationship. Jake accused her of, basically, being nuts . And of cheating on him. And of selling their story — or her version of it —  to the tabloids while they were still basically together. That last part, at least,  is true. Honestly, neither of them came across in a flattering light in that interview. So it’s really for the best that they didn’t stick together. Vienna hasn’t been especially visible over the last few years, aside from a few relationships and a dramatic stint on a relationship rehab show . We all know that there are some reality personalities who refuse to vanish from headlines for even a moment. Vienna’s, for the most part, given the world some space. But she hasn’t disappeared altogether, either. Last October, she got engaged to race car driver Todd Allen. And now she’s pregnant — with twins, no less. A lot of parents would be freaking out at this point, but Vienna seems to be all kinds of enthused. “Twice the blessing, twice the fun,” is written on the picture of her ultrasound. That’s a good attitude to have, because having twins also means more than twice the work, twice the chaos. And let’s not even get into the diaper business. Of course, she’ll only be adding to the legions of babies produced by the many, many contestants who’ve appeared on The Bachelor and Bachelor -related properties over the years. View Slideshow: Bachelor Baby Boom: The Births of a Reality Show Nation She’s previously stated that she doesn’t watch reality television anymore — because she knows that it’s not especially real. But she certainly made an impression. What remains to be seen is how much growth she’s had since she was the whiny and emotional trainwreck we all knew and tolerated. Sometimes the qualities that make for a good reality star are the exact opposites of what make someone a good mother. But you know, even based solely on the fact that she hasn’t been desperately throwing herself into the spotlight, we’re feeling a little optimistic. Plus, sometimes having kids can really change people. Even in ways that no one expects. One day, these kids are going to be old enough to realize who their mom is and to look up her reality TV shenanigans. That’ll be interesting, to say the least. In the meantime, well … twins are a handful. Even for celebrities. View Slideshow: 19 Celebrities Who Have Been Blessed with Twins

Courtney Stodden Gets Sexy, Political in Makeup-Free Selfie!

Courtney Stodden’s not exactly shy about her looks or her politics. And now she’s stunning followers with a makeup-free photo … and some very pleasant glimpses at her spectacular body. And her caption has something of a political twist. So, remember that Baywatch movie? Everybody watched the Baywatch trailer , at least, for obvious thirst reasons. Well, thirst alone wasn’t enough to keep the film from flopping at the box office. Courtney’s smoldering hot red swimsuit photo isn’t just visually reminiscent of Baywatch — she mentions the series by name. Her caption, “Make Baywatch Great Again,” is an obvious nod both to the film’s unenthusiastic reception and to the campaign slogan of a certain orange politician. Some people might be surprised to see a political reference in Courtney’s caption, but they shouldn’t be. Remember, she was a supporter of Bernie Sanders and then Hillary Clinton in 2016. And Courtney Stodden got political again just recently. Trump’s campaign slogan is as easy to parody as it is perplexing — since, you know, America was already pretty great. In fact, you tended to kind of get the impression that “great” was just a euphemism for “white.” But we can be sure that Courtney truly means great. And sexy. And fun. And kind. That’s kind of her brand. What’s more is that posing without makeup is almost inherently political. Women are constantly policed for their appearances. Going without makeup can get women asked if they’re “sick” or “tired” by clueless men who are used to seeing their faces look different. And who have no idea how much work so many women put into their looks, every single day. It’s worth noting that society tends to find men plenty attractive without any makeup, yet has high standard’s for a woman’s appearance — that she should have a “natural look” but obviously hide any perceived imperfections. In other words, women are expected to wear just enough makeup to be pleasing to the eye, but to not have fun with it. Ultimately, personal makeup choices should always be personal — to benefit no one but the makeup wearer themselves. But photos like this of Courtney’s send a powerful message that going without makeup can be wildly sexy. Obviously. But our biggest takeaway from all of this was just that we would 100% be down to watch a Courtney Stodden Baywatch movie. There are plenty of sexy actors and actresses who can go play around in the ocean, but it’s pretty tough to find someone as endearing as Courtney. What a doll.

When The Checks Stop Coming In Exclusive: Sean Kingston – I’m Broke & Live With My Mom!!

Celebrities attend The 84th Annual Hollywood Christmas Parade on Hollywood Boulevard. Featuring: Sean Kingston Where: Los Angeles, California, United States When: 29 Nov 2015 Credit: Brian To/WENN.com “Beautiful Girls” Singer Said He’s Flat Broke Sean Kingston has revealed his dire financial situation in a legal battle over unpaid lawyer bills. The singer filed court docs stating he has less than $500 in his bank accounts and owns no property or cars. In 2015, the lawyer James J. Gangitano sued Kingston, accusing him of refusing to pay up $12,500 worth of legal work he did in defending him. After filing suit, the lawyer reached a deal with Kingston in early 2016. He agreed to pay $20,000 in installments between April 2016 and January 2017. However, Gangitano headed back to court months later accusing him of breaching the deal by failing to make the payments. Under the agreement, if Kingston missed a payment, the entire amount of $14,500 would be due immediately. They demanded that the judge order Kingston to pay up due to his breach. Earlier this year, the judge came back with his decision and sided with the lawyers, awarding them $14,500 in damages with interest until paid off. Kingston was also ordered to fill out a financial sheet which listed his assets and property in the hopes the firm can use the info to collect on the debt. Sean Kingston at Chateau Nightclub and Rooftop inside Paris Las Vegas Featuring: Sean Kingston Where: Las Vegas, Nevada, United States When: 05 Mar 2016 Credit: Judy Eddy/WENN.com In April, the attorney filed docs demanding Kingston be found in contempt for blowing off the judge’s order. He accused Kingston of refusing to comply with the court by filing out a financial information document. The judge signed off on the motion and ordered Kingston in contempt of court and ordered him to hand over his financial info ASAP. Then recently, Kingston finally filled out his financial information form for the case. His form explained he currently owns no property or automobile. He lives with his mother Janice Turner in Los Angeles. He did not answer questions regarding his rate of pay but listed himself as an entertainer. Kingston attached his last three bank account statements, which reveal his dire financial situation. For his February/March bank statement, his Bank of America account began the month with $18.96 but ended the month with $6.96. His Chase bank accounts started with $370.68 and $207.63 but ended with (negative) $19.65 and $7.22. One of the only deposits added to his account was from a Marleen Turner for $2,000 and his account was charged multiple insufficient funds fees.
