Source: Huggies / Huggies It looks like Huggies is making some history for itself. On July 8, the pampers powerhouse debuted new packaging for its “Special Delivery” diapers, boasting a beautiful Black father, a first of its kind in the company’s 41-year-old history. It’s also part of a larger campaign that showcased other dads (and moms) as well. One of the fathers modeling for the Daddy-friendly packaging box is Chicago-native Orlando Thompson and his 3-year-old daughter Soraya Lattimore. Thompson told USA Today that he is honored to be part of a push to change the way we look at our fatherhood. “There’s a stereotype that’s out there that dads in general, not just a particular race, are not connected to their kids and not affectionate,” Thompson stressed, adding, “This should have been displaced a long time ago.” So why now for this much-needed representation? “We really believe in celebrating all parents and the great job that parents are doing,” Huggies North America brand director Kristine Rhode recently told USA Today. She added, “When you think about the important role that dads have in the family today and how that continues to grow, we wanted to make sure they were equally celebrated.” Source: Huggies / Huggies We absolutely love these images, especially given the negative stereotypes about African-American fathers that persist in society. It’s empowering to see our fathers being the amazing caretakers we know them to be. Naturally, we’re not the only ones praising this Huggies campaign. Social media celebrated it as well: This is the first black father and child to represent Huggies Their names to me is unknown. pic.twitter.com/b0toN4Tbh0 —
Source: David Livingston / Getty Tonight’s episode of Basketball Wives starts with Tami and her business partner, and shoe designer, Jessica Rich going over prototypes for Tami’s shoe line. And then OG walks in. Tami invited her because she wants to make sure she’s okay after that brunch. That’s the real reason they’re there. Tami said she’s disappointed in how the brunch went. Obviously, OG is happy to have at least one person in her corner. I other news, Jennifer meets up with Kristen to deliver a letter for her to give to Shaunie. We don’t know what’s in the letter, but basically, Jenn says she’s ready to take some accountability for her messed up actions. Now we’re at Byron and CeCe’s engagement party. Everything looks nice. Malaysia and Jackie come through, and CeCe is happy to see them. However, Malaysia is bummed that Kristen and her husband aren’t there because she feels like their feud with CeCe is killing her family. And guess what, OG ends up showing up later. Malaysia decides to take this time, because it’s the most appropriate moment, to confront OG. Basically, Malaysia tells her that Byron said he never told her to tell that secret. In Malaysia’s mind, OG said that Byron told her to tell everyone. In reality, Byron told OG that it’s okay to talk about it because people already know. There is a difference. Malaysia says it’s the same thing. OG says it’s not. They go in circles for a second, but Malaysia surprisingly decides to shut this conversation down so they can talk another time. Now we’re at Shaunie’s house for her son’s 16th birthday party. The house looks kind of like the house from The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air , so that’s the party theme. But the meat of this moment is that Kristen pulls Shaunie aside to give her Jenn’s letter. Shaunie decides to read it in front of Evelyn and Jackie. Basically, Jenn wrote some fluff about how it was nice to see her at her other son’s party, but it’s still a non-apology. Despite that, it’s enough for Shaunie to consider inviting Jenn on their upcoming girls trip to San Diego. Evelyn is definitely not feeling that, but we all know Shaunie is going to invite Jenn. Tami finally reveals that she and Reggie are married. She had a cute little party at her house to make the announcement. Everyone seemed happy for her, even Jackie, who was mad at her but also happy at the same time. You know how Jackie does. Let’s fast forward to San Diego. We find the group headed there in two separate cars. Jenn is present with her friend, Dominique, because she needs at least one person on her side. Feby, Shaunie, and Evelyn ride in one car and the rest, minus Tami, are in the other car. When it comes up that Jenn brought Dominique, it turns out that Evelyn and Dominique don’t like each other either (so, Jenn knew what she was doing). Ev’s group arrives first. The second group of women arrives shortly after and Evelyn gets annoyed at the sight of Jenn from jump. They manage to pick rooms without a hitch and tonight’s episode ends on a low-key note, but next week, the turnup cometh. Evelyn and Jenn are going to get into it for the 1,422,343,415,251 time.

Prior to her death she was responsible for founding the museum on the grounds of New St. Luke Baptist Church church in 2001, where her brother serves as pastor. Roberts-Joseph was a pillar in her community and the museum held artifacts of American history which displayed the pride, power, and pain of descendants of the Transatlantic Slave Trade. Roberts-Joseph’s family appeared on CNN moments after news of the arrest made headlines. “It’s a great relief just to know that part of the journey is over,” says Pat McCallister-LeDuff, on news of an arrest after her aunt, Sadie Roberts-Joseph, founder of an African American museum in Louisiana, was found dead. “…We can sigh a little bit.” https://t.co/BOeFDBDABw pic.twitter.com/TN8Z7ebgOP — CNN (@CNN) July 16, 2019 “It’s a great relief just to know that that part of the journey is over. That was the most important thing. At that particular time, was just who did it, why and where are you,” said Roberts-Joseph’s niece Pat McCallister-LeDuff. “So that part of it, we can sigh a little bit in terms of what actually happened and who did it.” “She was an icon. She meant so much to this community to so many different people. It’s very hard to describe Sadie’s reaction with the community because she was on every level,” said Joseph-Roberts’ longtime friend C. Denise Marcelle. “She was an activist, she was a historian, she was an amazing woman and I’m certainly glad that someone is in custody for this crime.” This story was originally published on MadameNoire.com .

Elsa Hosk and Emily DiDonato … I always hype up Elsa Hosk for being the hottest of the VS models, despite being 28 or 29….but today, she looks like shit, she looks old and haggard and I guess you just can’t trick aging, even if you use Kardashian face filler techniques…there comes a time when you’re just that old chick trying to be young… I always cut down DiDonato for being a set of big tits that were used well in her early career, but that have since been retired, which by default makes DiDonato retired, cuz the only thing about her is her tits and she needs to stop mistreating them by not using them….and I stand by that.. I think together, in a shoot, posing as a team would back out better, or is it play out better if there was more tit on tit nudity, they have both been naked a lot, it seems that this just showcases how lazy and comfortable they are in their careers that I am sure are at a point that is beyond their wildest dreams…but they could do more, they could do better and this right here is disappointing.

Miley Cyrus is under scorching hot fire at the moment for seemingly showing support for one of the most reviled celebrities in all of America right now. But, we mean, she can’t really be a fan of Jenelle Evans… can she?!? We never would have believed so, but a number of social media users have pounced on a recent photo Cyrus shared on Instagram — or, rather, re shared on Instagram. As you can see below, the photo in question features Jenelle’s step-daughter, Maryssa, banging away on the drums, apparently to Miley’s most recent single, “Mother’s Daughter.” We know this due to the caption Evans included along with the original image. “@MileyCyrus #MothersDaughter,” the post simply read. “BY: Maryssa Eason.” Cyrus, it’s very safe to assume, passed this snapshot along solely because Maryssa was playing her single. She wasn’t actually saying anything about Evans as a person, mother or animal owner. But anything related to Jenelle is a sensitive topic these days, considering Evans and her husband, David Eason, just spent several weeks without their kids (including Maryssa) after authorities determined the kids were being raised in an unsafe environment. They reached this conclusion after Eason shot and killed his family’s dog . Naturally, Miley therefore sort of showing any kind of support whatsoever for Jenelle is being met with extreme criticism by her fans around the Internet. Wrote one followers: @MileyCyrus why did you post Jenelle Evans stepdaughter on your IG? Her husband killed there dog! She lost custody of their kids not long ago. Thought you had better class than that — posting a dog killer family. And another: Whyyyyy would @MileyCyrus ever repost Jenelle Evans on her story!!!!!! Hello!! Her psycho husband literally SHOT THEIR PUPPY RECENTLY. And another : @MileyCyrus Miley … what the hell? I thought you were an animal lover? Jenelle Evans has gone through multiple dogs in ten years and her husband, David Eason, MURDERED their puppy IN FRONT OF THE CHILDREN. WTF, Miley!!! Do better! On July 3, a North Carolina judge awarded Jenelle and David custody once again of 11-year old Maryssa and Jenelle’s youngest biological children, two-year old Ensley and five-year old Kaiser. Many observers were appalled enough by this development. But then the controversial couple confirmed that they had actually adopted two new dogs , despite Eason having literally murdered the one he owned previously. The new canines are two Anatolian Shepherds and they’ll be used to protect the family’s large farm. “They are one of the most unique types of dog I have ever seen and have the best temperament and disposition of any dog I have ever owned,” Eason said, adding: “They are a livestock guardian breed and do not mind eating and sleeping with all our animals on The Land!” You suck so much, dude.

Nicole Scherzinger, always a little too chiseled for me to buy into, is at CRAIGS….in a Semi See Through SLUT-FIT – THAT IS an Outfit for Sluts… I coined the term and I should buy the URL but I won’t….because I know that no one will buy into my SLUT-FIT line of slut clothes….and are more into seeing people they may or may not have jerked off to while watching MTV because in the era she came up – half naked stripper dances were not really that popular outside of the stripclub and porno on the family computer was hard to jack off to….but that TV in your room wasn’t…so you made due….even though she was a little too chiseled to really buy into….assuming that there was a decent to high probability that she was in fact a man doing his best rendition of a woman because as you know men as women make better women than women…proven by the success of drag. That’s not to say Scherzinger is a man but if the thought crosses your mind while sexualizing her – it takes away from the sexualizing of her – unless you’re into fucking men dressed like women – which many straight men are….and which doesn’t quite make them straight to me….but I’m not some oracle, just a loser with a blog so who cares what I say….

Source: OMAR TORRES/AFP/Getty Images / Getty El Chapo Sentenced To Life It’s officially a wrap for El Chapo. After several years of evading arrest and breakouts from prison, the Sinaloa drug cartel leader has been sentenced to life in prison plus 30 years. The news comes from CNN who reports that Chapo, real name Joaquín Guzmán Loera, told the court, “there was no justice here.” The Court also ordered the drug lord to pay $12.6 Billion in forfeiture. The amount he’ll pay in restitution has yet to be established. As previously reported Chapo was found guilty February 12, on 10 federal criminal counts; Engaging in a Continuing Criminal Enterprise International Cocaine, Heroin, Methamphetamine and Marijuana Manufacture and Distribution Conspiracy Cocaine Importation Conspiracy Cocaine Distribution Conspiracy International Distribution of Cocaine International Distribution of Cocaine International Distribution of Cocaine International Distribution of Cocaine Use of Firearms Conspiracy to Launder Narcotics Proceeds He’s expected to be moved to the same super-max security prison where the Unabomber and Boston bomber are serving their time.

I n November of last year, a man named Masin Elijè made some extreme allegations against NBA star Dwight Howard . He claimed they were boyfriends, that Howard was into transgender sex parties and that Howard and his pastor conspired to kill him because he refused to sign a non-disclosure agreement. Elijè filed a lawsuit and Howard countersued, claiming everything Elijè, whose real name is is Maurice Singletary, was lying. Now Howard is speaking out for the first time about the rumors and his answer may surprise you. See Also: Complete Timeline Of Jussie Smollett Investigation Speaking to Fox Sports 1’s Kristine Leahy, Howard said, “I went through a situation last year that really just set me free. It ended up being a situation that was—it went viral. People were talking about it, and it upset me because I didn’t even know who the person was. Why would somebody who I never met, never had any contact with, make up a whole story about me? I saw all the hate, the pure hate, from people that I’ve never met before, just pile up everywhere I went.” He continued, “I think that liberated me. Because I saw how a lot of people would feel, whether they’re gay or they’re straight. Whether they have issues. People are afraid to be who they are. They’re afraid to just step out and be. Because they’re afraid of what other people might say or think about them. That situation made me realize you’re not like this, but just be you, be free.” Howard added, “I’m not gay.” But he explained the situation gave him empathy, “It’s a lot of people who are and they have to hide, and there’s people who have mental issues and they have to hide. There’s people who have different problems in life and they have to hide. They have to put on the mask every day, and it’s like, I don’t wanna wear no mask, I just wanna be.” Watch below: “I'm not gay… It hurt at first to go through it. I sat at home and I was like 'I never want to come outside again.'” @DwightHoward spoke on the allegations that he was gay. ( : @FairGameonFS1 | @KristineLeahy ) pic.twitter.com/WcXz2WtOfY — Complex Sports (@ComplexSports) July 16, 2019 In April, Bossip exclusively reported that Howard sued the YouTube personality for libel, slander, invasion of privacy and abusive litigation, according to court docs. Howard is asking for $10 million in damages. “I don’t know this person, never seen him. Any allegation said about me is false,” Howard told TMZ back in March. He also called the lawsuit a “money grab.” In November, Elijè posted a series of incendiary tweets , beginning with one that said his “life was threatened after I was sexually harassed, threatened and manipulated, by someone I respected, my ex boyfriend NBA player Dwight Howard, and his camp also ‘catfished’ by his disrespectful ass PASTOR.” I was afraid to speak but today my life was threatened after I was sexually harassed, threatened and manipulated, by someone I respected, my ex boyfriend NBA player Dwight Howard, and his camp also “”catfished”” by his disrespectful ass PASTOR pic.twitter.com/n1I1fwDcUw — Ah-Mazìn (@MasinElije) November 25, 2018 The lengthy thread of tweets included purported audio proof of a conversation with Howard about him acknowledging a sexual relationship with Elijè. He claims they met at a “Wild’n Out” party. And while a person’s sexual orientation isn’t newsworthy, that context was important to mention because Elijè also made a similar accusation on Twitter last year against rapper Playboi Carti. As Bossip reminded readers, those claims were “allegedly discredited.” The eight-time NBA All Star had been nursing a lingering gluteal injury that kept him sidelined this past regular season. Howard recently got engaged to South Carolina University star basketball Te’a Cooper . SEE ALSO: Can Racial Profiling Be Stopped?
