Alicia Keys Tells Parents To Let Boys Have Painted Nails Alicia Keys doesn’t care about your silly gender norms ! The singer recently sat down with Allure Magazine to speak out about how women and men are viewed in this society. Keys claims that women are often made to feel insecure in this society and young men are told not to have feelings. “I was so sick of the way women were forced to feel inadequate in many different circumstances or forced to feel insecure by the way we’re portrayed or the way we look,” Keys says of the inspiration behind her new album Here. As a mom to two boys with husband Swizz Beatz — Genesis Ali, 2, and Egypt Daoud, 6 — the other side of the coin is important to touch on, as well. “I am so annoyed at the way we force boys to be fake strong — don’t cry, don’t be soft. Let a boy be able to dance!” she says. “Let a boy paint his nails. So a boy wants to paint his nails. Who cares! All these strange, oppressive ideas.” Would you let your son paint his nails? What do you think of Alicia’s comments about how parents should raise their boys? Splash News/IG

To the girl from the South Side who took on a role she didn't ask for and made it her own: Happy Birthday, Michelle. I love you. pic.twitter.com/lvjfx418hn — President Obama (@POTUS) January 17, 2017 President Obama Sends Wife Michelle Sweet Birthday Wishes If we can’t have a marriage like the Obamas — we don’t want it! The message President Barack Obama shared included a photo of the pair on the back of a golf cart that we believe was taken on inauguration night. These eight years have flown by but they have been probably the best we can remember, What A Time To Be ALIVE (and AMERICAN )indeed. We hope the First Lady had an amazing birthday night. She certainly deserves it. She posted this sweet message to the President last week: So proud of @POTUS and all that we've accomplished together. An incredible journey filled with remarkable people.

Mentewab says she was 19 years old when she gave birth to a baby girl she called Yemasrech. In her native Amharic language, the name means ‘good news’. She did not know the father as her child was conceived as a result of a brutal rape attack. Mentawab was staying in her grandmother’s house in Shone when an intruder broke in and attacked her. She was too scared to tell her parents but when the pregnancy began to show she was forced to admit the truth. Initially disowned by her family, she went to live in the nearby town of Hosanna where she says she gave birth to the baby later named Zahara in January 2005. A fter finding out Yemasrech was adopted by a huge Hollywood family and is alive and well, Mentewab wants to meet her daughter.

Feds Press For Daniel Pantaleo Charges For Eric Garner Death Before Trump Becomes POTUS In 48 hours the apocalypse will be upon us and the Federal prosecutors in D.C. know that big change is a-comin’. Thus, they are pressing the gas on getting former NYPD officer Daniel Pantaleo charged with the chokehold death of Eric Garner according to the NYPost . A federal grand jury in Brooklyn is hearing evidence in the racially charged police killing of Eric Garner on Staten Island in 2014 — as prosecutors race to get an indictment before Donald Trump becomes president Friday, The Post has learned. Prosecutors from Washington, DC, are presenting the case to the panel, as they seek civil rights charges against white officer Daniel Pantaleo for using a chokehold barred by the NYPD on the black suspect, sources said. There is a growing fear that Trump’s Attorney General nominee, Sen. Jeff Sessions, has a racially biased past and will not seek to charge Pantaleo with civil rights violations. (Loretta) Lynch is now U.S. attorney general, and Trump has nominated U.S. Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-Ala.) to succeed her, subject to Senate conformation. Sessions testified last week before the Senate Judiciary Committee, which plans to vote on Jan. 24. Sessions is expected to clear the committee, according to The Hill. Republicans control the Senate with 52 votes, and Sessions has the support of a potential swing vote, Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W. Va.). Prayers up in hopes that the Garner family can be on their way to justice before Apricot-in-Chief Trump and his minions cop a squat on the entire process. Image via Twitter
