Black Teacher Gives Students Haircuts For Graduation

More here:

M any teachers go above and beyond to cater to the needs of their students and educator Robert Dunham is living proof of that. Dunham—who teaches at a school that serves students who live in underserved communities—treated his fifth-grade class to haircuts before their graduation ceremony, CBS 6 reported. Robert Dunham just had a feeling before he went to work at Carver Elementary School in Richmond.​ https://t.co/EXeeunXRmg — WTVR CBS 6 Richmond (@CBS6) June 13, 2019 The Carver Elementary School teacher wanted to do something special for his class before they moved on to middle school. Aware of the fact that several students may not be able to get haircuts before graduation, he decided to take his clippers to school and transform his classroom into a mock barbershop to provide them with haircuts. Dunham says he wanted them to feel confident and empowered on their special day. “When I go to the barbershop, when I get a haircut, you feel good, you look good, you’ve got that confidence starting to come out of you,” he said in a statement, according to the news outlet. “I want every one of my students to be confident today. This is their special day.” School faculty members captured images of Dunham’s act of kindness and his story went viral. “Our jobs require more than teaching at Carver,” Dionyah Randolph , a teacher at the school, told WRIC Richmond . “We service many students who live in disadvantaged communities, so it’s our duty to put their needs first; everything else comes second.” Individuals across the country have been stepping up to support graduates from underserved communities, whether it be paying off their lunch debt so that they can walk across the graduation stage and receive their hard-earned diplomas or providing them with outfits for prom and graduation. Most recently a Black-owned barbershop in North Carolina raised money to help high school seniors pay off their debt. The owners were inspired by billionaire Robert F. Smith ’s vow to eliminate the student loan debt of Morehouse College’s entire 2019 graduating class.

Jordan Craig to Khloe Kardashian: Your Tristan Timeline is Totes Fulla S–t!

Jordan Craig is in no way convinced by Khloe Kardashian’s recent statement.  After reports began accusing Khloe of dating Tristan Thompson while he was still with his pregnant and at the time GF, Jordan, back in 2016 – the reality star finally put the stories to rest.  But now Jordan is throwing the ball back in her court, saying Khloe’s timeline just doesn’t add up .  This “you lose ’em how you get ’em” charade has been going on for far too long — does it really even matter?! Tristan Thompson sucks. The entire world knows that.  But for some reason, people are now trying to pin the homewrecker title on to Khloe because in Jordan’s eyes she was the other woman. Both Khloe and Jordan have felt the pain caused by no good Tristan — so can’t they just move on and call it a day? Um, no.  Khloe finally shared “her truth” this week after court documents Craig filed this past November (as part of her child support battle against Thompson) surfaced.  The claims accused Khloe and Tristan of cheating and Jordan said her pregnancy became “one of the most popular gossip headlines.” She also argued that the drama caused her to have heatlth isses during her pregnancy .  But Khloe wasn’t going to sit back and let her name tarnish, of course.  “I’m disappointed that I even feel the need to post this but… I need to say my truth,” she began her explanation on her Instagram story.  “My truth is: I met Tristan because HE CHOSE to go on a blind date with me.” She then explained how they went on a few dates and Tristan told her about his pregnant ex. “Obviously, I was reluctant about us continuing to date or start a relationship.” But Khloe, being the oh so clever woman that she is, checked with his inner circle and even his mother to double check that his relationship with Craig was over.  “He showed me physical proof (correspondence between the two) and had me on calls with his lawyers to prove his point,” she shared. “His best friends, business associates and even his mother told me, him and his ex were broken up before we met.” Sounds like a lot of investigating for just a few dates — maybe she should have trusted her gut back in 2016? “This is my truth!” Khloe continued.  She then went on to apologize for the entire situation and just in case Tristan and his inner circle did lie, she’s sorry.  “Truthfully, from the deepest parts of my soul, I am sorry!” she wrote.  “I’m sorry for any pain that has been created either way.” “No woman deserves to go through anything like this!” she added. But Jordan had 0 empathy. In fact, she found Khloe’s words completely shady.  A source from Us Weekly confirmed that Jordan moved on from the cheating drama, but still questions Khloe’s motives. “Jordan does question the timing of Khloe’s very public timeline of events during that time,” said the source. “She insisted that she was unaware that Tristan had dumped her for Khloe,” said the source. “She would have just preferred that Khloe say nothing publicly.” Now that we have both sides on the table — can we just say how ironic it is that Tristan cheated (for the final time) on Khloe with a woman named Jordyn … It’s not important information — but kind of wild.  We, of course, feel terrible for both parties involved, especially because both Khloe and Jordan can’t exactly cancel Tristan out of their lives for good. Considering he is a father to both Khloe’s daughter True and Jordan’s son Prince.  What a mess.  “Jordan really felt for Khloe when Tristan cheated on her,” the source adds. “But she should have realized it before.” We’re pretty sure Khloe is wishing she did too — but on a positive note, she wouldn’t have had True without Tristan.  View Slideshow: Khloe Kardashian: Tristan Thompson CONFESSED to Banging Jordyn Woods!

Jenelle Evans: David is the BEST Dad! Nugget Asked for It!

Jenelle Evans has been in a great big mess for over a month now. Probably the biggest mess of her life, which is saying a lot. Her husband killed her dog, she lost her Teen Mom 2 gig, and CPS removed all of her children from her home. It's been rough. But throughout the whole thing, Jenelle has been uncharacteristically quiet. She's given statements and interviews here and there, but not much, and she hasn't addressed the situation much on social media at all. Until now! 1. This Girl … Jenelle … well, she doesn’t always make the best choices. 2. The Truth Actually, she pretty exclusively makes terrible ones. 3. Surprise! Her worst choice? It’s tough to say, but it’s really looking like it’s going to be getting with David Eason. 4. This Guy David is just the worst, but nobody has time to list every single bit of proof of that. For now, let’s just stick with the fact that he murdered Nugget, the family dog, and after police began investigating him, they believed he was so dangerous that they advised CPS to remove all the children from his care. 5. Wow It’s apparently a big deal, and a very difficult thing to do, this emergency removal, but David warranted it. 6. The Kids And so now Kaiser is with his father, Nathan Griffith, and Ensley is with Jenelle’s mother, Barbara, who already has custody of Jace. View Slideshow

The Bachelorette: Will God Get in Between Hannah and Luke?

Hannah Brown has made a few things clear on this season of The Bachelorette. She loves sex. She loves God. And, for reasons many viewers don’t comprehend, she isn’t scared off by how intensely suitor Luke Parker loves her. Yes, already. Despite having some questions about Parker and his stalker-like tendencies on the show this season, Hannah has kept the controversial contestant around. Will he actually go on to win her heart and the entire thing later this summer? Not if he really is the one who ends up slut-shaming Hannah due to her very open views on spit swapping and sexual intercourse.  “My faith is really important, and some people question that, but like I said, I don’t hold anything back, and part of a relationship is being sexually attracted to somebody,” Brown told reporters this week, adding at a red carpet event: “I am sexually attracted to these men, and I’m not going to hold back on that.” Translation: Hannah is gonna get herself some D , you guys! This is perfectly within her rights as a Bachelorette and, heck, a human being of course. The series even sets up its leads with Fantasy Suites created for the exact purpose of boning one’s potential spouse. According to various Bachelorette spoilers , however, Parker will advance to the final four this year, only to be given the boot by Hannah because he tries to make her feel guilty for sleeping with his fellow suitors. Is this what actually takes place? Chris Harrison hinted as much. “Faith is what brought them together and his faith and his conservative values might be their biggest sticking point and become the biggest divide between them,” Harriston told ET this week about Brown and Parker, adding: “We are setting something up down the road that will come to a head, where their faith and their values start to conflict, and how they perceive them.” Parker has said previously that he was basically a major player in college… but then God spoke to him in the shower one day and told him to stop messing around and start getting serious about having a family. For real. This is what Parker has said. So we guess it might make some sense that he would take issue with Hannah taking advantage of the many hot men vying for her attention — but not really, of course. She can do whatever she wants. “That’s always the interesting thing about religion, and I always feel maybe we need to dive into this more sometimes,” Harrison also told ET. “Sometimes we shy away from it because religion, it’s a little bit like sex, where it’s taboo to discuss in the open.” “I think it needs to be brought in the open more sometimes, and, in this case, it’s interesting how they have very similar values, but very differing opinions on how to apply them to life.” In a promo for The Bachelorette Season 15 this spring, we heard Hannah going off on an unknown suitor. “I cannot believe you just said that to me,” she says to this person. “I don’t owe you anything at this point. Do you not understand that?” View Slideshow: The Bachelorette Spoilers: Check Out the Lucky Guy Who Wins Hannah’s Heart! [UPDATED] She adds in this same teaser: “I believe that sex was made for a man and a woman in marriage, but I’m having physical relationships and honestly, I have had sex. And Jesus still loves me. “How dare I be judged by a man?” That’s a good question. We wonder if Luke Parker has an answer.

Courtney Love: Kurt Cobain’s Ghost Visited Me & It Was Super Lame!

It’s been 25 years since Kurt Cobain tragically took his own life , and we’re sure the rock legend’s loved ones still miss him every day. Well, all except for Courtney Love, that is, who apparently chatted with Kurt’s ghost a few years after he died and was pretty unimpressed by the encounter. This information comes to us courtesy of Love’s latest interview with NME , in which she reveals that she received a spectral visit from Cobain while she was dating Edward Norton in the late ’90s. “When I moved to Hancock Park from Seattle with [daughter] Frances and Edward, I saw Kurt in a chair for a moment and he said hi to me and then he left,” she told the magazine. Somehow, this story is both surprising and totally predictable. We’re always taken aback to hear a sober (we assume) recollection of an otherworldly encounter. But at the same time, of course Courtney Love claims to have seen Kurt Cobain’s ghost, and of course he gave a casual “‘sup” and went on his ghostly way. Our younger readers might not remember this, but in the years before seething rage took over the world, excessive displays of emotion were considered deeply uncool, and Kurt was the king of the Apathetic 90s Guys. We don’t know why anyone would expect anything different from his ghost. A quick solo unplugged set would’ve been cool and all, but as long as Ghost Kurt was rocking a moth-eaten cardigan, we’ll accept that his final appearance was fully on-brand. On a related note, shout-out to Courtney Love for still being alive. We’re not trying to be morbid or anything, but really, who saw that one coming? Not only is Courtney still kicking despite having ingested every substance on the planet, she actually seems to be doing pretty well for herself. Against all odds, Love has even repaired her relationship with her 26-year-old daughter. Last we checked in on the family, Courtney and Frances were paying tribute to Kurt  on his birthday. So much has changed in the decades since the Nirvana frontman has been gone that it’s hard to believe Cobain would only be in his early fifties. Obviously, we joked around a lot here today, but reflecting on that sort of thing highlights how tragic every suicide really is. Young victims miss out on so very much: some of it good, much of it bad, but all of it worth experiencing.

Jennifer Lopez: Um, My First Two Marriages Don’t Even Count!

Jennifer Lopez makes it too easy to love her.  Let’s all please take a moment to applaud her for her latest performance.  No — not for her singing, acting, or her incredible dancing skills — but because she just made the most hilarious and savage comment ever.  Lopez recently opened up to her fans by sharing new behind-the-scenes footage from her mini-documentary “It’s My Party: Showtime!” while on the road for her 50th birthday tour.  She opened up about her past, her show preparations, and of course, Alex Rodriguez. J. Lo even shared details on her upcoming wedding with A. Rod (“the one”) , who proposed in March after more than two years together.  “Now it’s been three years now,” the mother of two said of her romance with the former MLB player.  “[We’ll get married] soon, not soon-soon, but next year.” “I’d like a big wedding, I’d like to get married in a church this time. Never been married in a church,” she shared.   The singer then got real about an area we’re all interested in, whether we like to admit it or not — her long list of ex lovers.  Over the course of her career, she’s reportedly dated Diddy, Ben Affleck, Casper Smart, back-up dancer Cris Judd and Drake  (!) . To name just a few.  The Second Act star has also been previously married… three times.  But it’s all good because she informed us that her first two marriages didn’t even count.  (Cue applause).  While Lopez was busy filling us all in on her wedding plans, she took a moment to explain why she was married three times prior to Rodriguez.  For those of you who don’t know, J. Lo was married twice before her marriage to Marc Anthony, with whom she shares 11-year-old twins Max and Emme. The first was to a waiter in 1997 and then to a dancer in 2001.   “I’ve been married three times, and one was nine months and one was 11 months, so I don’t really count those ,” she said.  “But I was married to Marc for 10 years, with the kids.” “I was very young the first two times I tried to get married,” she reasoned while laughing. “I’m saying tried .” She also went on to admit that she tends to want to be with someone who is around all the time.  “It seems like in this life you’re always surrounded by people, you’re never lonely — but it’s very lonely,” she said. “So you always want somebody with you. “And I felt like if I got married, I felt like I would always have somebody, but that’s not how life works,” she added. Ultimately, she acknowledged that getting married for the company was “a bad reason.”  But luckily with A. Rod, things are different.  This will mark Jen’s   fourth ( sorry, second) walk down the aisle — but she knows this marriage will last because she’s getting married to someone who makes her a better person. “The right one is when you find somebody who makes you better,” she said. We’re very happy for J. Lo and that she  finally found the right guy!   And from the looks of their adorable and happy blended family , we are sure things will work out in Lopez’s favor this *second* time around.

Jesus Take The Medical License: Man Sues Doctor For Allegedly Leaving 57-Inch Wire In His Body

Source: RunPhoto / Getty Man Accuses Doctor Of Leaving 57-Inch Wire In His Body Fourteen Years Ago So one Las Vegas man unknowingly had a whole a$$ metal wire in his body, and now he wants to hold the responsible parties accountable. According to Las Vegas Review-Journal , German “OT” Ortiz lived for a decade without knowing a 57-inch metal wire was running through his body. When a doctor told him in 2015 that he needed surgery to clear blood clots, an X-ray showed the wire stretching down his aorta, from his chest to his thigh, according to his attorney James Jimmerson. Ortiz’s lawyers are now asking a jury to award him upward of $800,000 from Mark Taylor, the cardiologist who did a 2005 angioplasty, and Heart Center of Nevada, the company he runs. Ortiz is a 70-year-old man who serves as a youth pastor at Cornerstone Christian Academy and Preschool. A year ago, medical professionals removed two-thirds of the wire inside him for a heart procedure, according to Jimmerson. Now, more than 20 inches remain in his thigh. Ortiz experienced this whole fiasco when he was rushed to the University Medical Center emergency room 14 years ago after experiencing shortness of breath. Doctors explained that he had congestive heart failure and required an angiogram, according to the lawsuit, which was filed in 2016. In an angiogram procedure, a catheter is inserted through the bloodstream to spread a dye that lets doctors take photographs of blood vessels, Jimmerson explained to jurors, holding a sample of a wire used to keep the catheter stiff. In Ortiz’s situation, when the catheter was removed, a guide wire remained in his body, according to the suit. The suit alleges medical malpractice, negligent infliction of emotional distress, professional negligence, negligent hiring, training and supervision, and loss of consortium. Mark Taylor’s lawyer, Patricia Daehnke, argues that another doctor must have left the wire inside Ortiz, claiming that Taylor was never informed that the guide wire had been lost. “Dr. Taylor met the standard of care and in no way was negligent or un-careful in his cardiology,” she said, pointing to notes from the procedure Taylor carried out. “We’re not here to pin responsibility on Dr. Taylor. We’re here to present the evidence to you.” Jimmerson asked jurors to hold Taylor and his company accountable for causing “pain, anxiety and the probability of future surgery for blood clots.” “A doctor must pay careful attention during a procedure,” Jimmerson said. “If a doctor does not pay careful attention during a procedure, the doctor is responsible for the injuries caused.”
