Jon Gosselin: Kate is Exploiting Our Kids for Cash!

Reports have said that Kate Gosselin is worried that Jon might expose her toxic parenting on his own show with Hannah and Collin. It turns out that she needn’t have worried. Jon is against his kids appearing on film, and he doesn’t need a reality gig to expose Kate for what she is. Jon says that Kate is violating a court’s decision by having the kids film, all so that she can exploit them for money to fund her lifestyle. In 2018, the Department of Labor declined to grant Kate the permits that she and TLC wanted. Why? Because both the department and a judge concluded that it was not in the best interests of her minor children to film for Kate Plus 8 . And yet Kate and the network continued to film Kate’s (remaining) minor children, both at home and on location in North Carolina. Speaking to TheDailyMailTV , Jon Gosselin unloads his frustrations that his ex is breaking rules about their kids just to rake in more money. “I’m furious,” he expresses. “Absolutely furious.” “[The network] didn’t care,” Jon Gosselin laments. “It’s really upsetting that big businesses and big corporations go do whatever they want, against a parent’s legal right,” he despairs.. “The judge and the guardian ad litem both agreed that it wasn’t in my children’s best interests to be filmed,” Jon points out. A guardian ad litem is appointed by a judge to evaluate a child’s welfare as an outsider who then reports findings to a judge. Jon continues: “but my ex-wife and TLC had other ideas.” “They put profits and ratings ahead of the well-being of my children,” Jon accuses. He continues furiously: “and filmed illegally without work permits.” “They literally don’t care,” Jon says. “They’ll pay the fine.” He hates that “big business will do whatever they want to do because they have the money to pay all the fines.” Any crime or violation that is payable by fine, from parking to filming without a permit, just means legal for rich people . Remember that. “This is all about money,” Jon notes. “This is a fiduciary thing.” He accuses: “This has nothing to do with anything else other than Kate’s lifestyle, not the kids’ lifestyle.” “Go get a job,” he indirectly tells Kate. “Support your own family.” “It’s disgusting,” he bemoans. “My kids work for her lifestyle.” “Kate does nothing,” Jon continues. “Zero. Absolutely nothing.” in September, Jon spoke of how toxic and damaging a household Kate has built for the children still under her “care.” “I do know what [Kate’s] capable of, whether it’s mental or physical [abuse],” Jon stated grimly. The whole world has known for many years that Kate is a monster. Jon points out that Hannah and Collin left a lot behind just to escape. “I have two kids in my house who left a whole pile of money behind,” he noted. “They left fame and money and came to my house,” he emphasized. “They left it all behind.” He also says that, actually, none of his kids really want to be reality stars. “They have all said they have to film because they feel they need to provide a lifestyle for their mother,” Jon revealed. “They don’t want to film,” he claimed. “They said they have to film. That’s heartbreaking.” “Why do my kids need to provide for themselves?” he asks. “They’re kids.” That is an extremely fair question. A lot of terrible parents exploit their children for reality fame. Networks profit from it. One day, laws need to be passed to prevent this sort of thing, be it Gosselins or Duggars or Teen Moms.

Jenni Farley Kicks Loser, Grope-y Boyfriend to the Curb

Jenni Farley got really wasted on last night’s episode of Jersey Shore. Now sober, with her eyes wide open to what transpired, however, the veteran reality star has gone ahead and made a life-altering decision: She’s kicked that stupid loser boyfriend of hers, Zack Carpinello, to the curb. On the aforementioned installment of Jersey Shore , Carpinello acted extraordinarily strange around Angelina. First, he peppered her left and right with questions about her sex life. Like, REALLY specific questions. Then, while dancing with Farley and Angelina at a nightclub, Carpinello gave both women a kiss. Then, after Jenni passed out from too much alcohol intake, he basically grabbed Angelina’s rear end, prompting the engaged cast member to get the heck off the dance floor as quickly as possible. Here’s a screen shot of the inappropriate action: And here was Farley’s reaction after actually watching the escapades play out last night: “After seeing tonight’s episode I’m pretty hurt,” she wrote in a note posted to her Instagram account. “I feel disrespected by someone I called a friend and by someone who stated they loved me.” In this same message, Farley said she had no idea about her boyfriend’s behavior: “For 5 months I was kept in the dark about this. For 5 months I was naive, probably laughed at and made into a story line that will forever haunt me. My heart hurts on so many levels. “One thing I learned from tonight’s episode is know your value. Don’t ever lower your standards.” JWoww started dating Carpinello in March, a few months after her split from ex-husband Roger Mathews. (The ex-spouses share two children — daughter Meilani, 5, and son Greyson, 3 — and seem to finally be getting along after quite a contentious start to their post-marital life.) Jenni raved about her relationship with Carpinello in a previous Family Vacation episode, saying she was stunned to be with someone who is just 24 years old: “I never in a million years thought I would be dating someone younger than me.”  But then also elucidating just why she likes him so much: “We’re completely different. Not my style at all. “He turns into this f-cking monster in bed. I was like, ‘Are you an escort? What’s going on?’ It wasn’t normal. I had to look up positions and stuff.” Well… okay then, Jenni! Sadly, it now looks like he turns into a monster on the dance floor after his girlfriend passes out as well. Jersey Shore: Family Vacation airs on MTV Thursdays at 8/7c. Us Weekly was the first outlet to report on this break-up . Props to them.

NABU Is Uplifting Black Voices Within The Diaspora To Help Young Children Feel Seen

See the article here:

Source: Sasha Nialla / Courtesy of NABU We all know that reading is fundamental; however, it’s also important for children to see themselves in the stories that they read. In 2017, only 7% of children’s books were published by Black, LatinX or indigenous authors. As we move towards a more diverse population, the lack of representation across the diaspora in books is appalling. Non-profit organization NABU saw this inconsistency and decided to help close the diversity gap with NABU Publishing. Source: NABU Team Photo / Courtesy of NABU NABU Publishing is founded by Taniya Benedict, Tanyella Evans, and Isabel Shein. Together these women are making sure that reading is not only accessible but also representative of marginalized communities. Benedict who is the Director of Global Operations and Programs shared, “The significance of seeing one’s reality in a storybook, should not be taken lightly. When you grow up reading in your mother-tongue, and actively seeing yourself represented in illustrations, you develop self-confidence that is unbound and powerful. You begin to believe that you are the creator of your own destiny, and this intrinsic belief ultimately leads to self-actualization.” Currently, only 13% of children’s books published in the US in the last 25 years contain any kind of multicultural content. NABU publishing is actively changing this. The publishing company was birthed when the co-creators of NABU realized how much talent was in Haiti and Rwanda. They created a network of authors and illustrators who are creating engaging children’s stories for their respective local markets (and in their local languages) to help increase and encourage literacy amongst children. NABU Publishing is helping to take this a step further by translating the stories into bilingual English editions for the US children’s book market. This is incredible for second generation children and parents who want to make sure their children have diverse books or books with characters represented from their home country. Source: NABU Book / Courtesy of NABU Every month, they will be releasing two new children’s books from up and coming authors and illustrators. To launch their program, today, on International Day Of The Girl, NABU Publishing chose two stories from their Haitian collection: Princess Maniya and Lila Plays Soccer. The books feature the original Haitian Creole and English translation side by side and strong girl protagonists. What a way to promote and encourage bilingual behavior amongst children! Given that NABU is a non-profit, the proceed from the books will fund NABU’s early childhood literacy work in Haiti as well as enable them to commission more creatives to create books in their language. Source: NABU Book / Courtesy of NABU The organization is even going a step further by utilizing a one-to-one model. For each book that is sold, NABU will give a free digital copy to children in Haiti who are reading on tablets and smartphones. If you look on the back of each book, you’ll find a QR code and readers can see a live tracking of how many pages children in the NABU programs have read! So cool. There are over 7,000 languages spoken in the world today and almost half of them are in danger of extinction. For Black communities, story telling has often been a way of passing down traditions, history and more. This is the direct way that culture survives. By creating NABU Publishing, the organization is encouraging the preservation of languages, traditions, and overall culture so that the next generation can benefit and thrive. While your children may have access to books, there are many that do not. Purchase a copy for your child here and a digital copy will be sent to a child in Haiti. If you want to go a step further, you can donate $50.00 to NABU and it gives one child and their family access to reading materials in their mother tongue. If $50.00 is too much at the moment, you can donate $7.00 a month (that’s less than your Spotify subscription), which will give one hour of reading a day for a child. Click here to donate . We love organizations that support young Black girls to see themselves, their strength, and their potential. Learning fundamental life skills and resilience through reading is an easy way to build our next doctors, lawyers, engineers, CEO’s and Presidents. You can find out more information at www.nabu.org .

Jenni Farley: Siding With Jen Harley Over Ronnie Magro?

Recent episodes of Jersey Shore have been without Mike Sorrentino or Snooki, two of the series’ MVPs from day one. They had pretty solid reasons for not partying in Vegas with the rest of the crew (Snooki was pregnant; Sorrentino was in prison ), but their absences have been keenly felt at times, as the saga of Vinny’s Chippendale’s adventure has felt a bit stale at times. Fortunately, Ronnie Magro and Jenni Farley have really stepped up to the plate in recent weeks by allowing their lives to fall apart both on and off camera. Okay, in JWoww’s case that statement is a bit of an exaggeration. Sure, Jenni’s boyfriend groped Angelina Pivarnick  in last night’s episode, and he generally seems like a giant douche bag, but on some level, she must have known 24 was nothing more than a rebound fling. When you’re talking Ronnie, however, it’s almost impossible to overstate how much this dude has effed up in recent weeks. In case you somehow haven’t heard, Magro was tased and arrested earlier this week following a confrontation with Jen Harley, the mother of his 1-year-old daughter. Magro stands accused of assaulting Harley and threatening her with a knife. But disappointingly, several of his Shore castmates remain vehemently Team Ronnie. Take Snooki, for example, who decided to openly victim-shame Harley during an interview with Mike on her podcast this week. Nicole attacked Jen for wearing clothing that doesn’t properly conceal her bruises in order to make a “big thing” out of the attack. Clearly, that’s some horrendous BS, and we hope others will join us in calling on Polizzi to apologize. Other Shore cast members have kept silent with regard to the attack, including Farley, who developed a friendship with Harley in recent months. In fact, she controversially reached out to Jen during the gang’s recent Vegas adventure. (Though to be fair, she was probably encouraged to do so by the show’s producers, as a whole lot of nothing was going on in Sin City.) Last week, Us Weekly caught up with Ron and asked him about the complex dynamic between the Jens and himself. Magro theorized that JWoww was so fixated on him because she had “a bunch of stuff that she just didn’t want to focus on,” meaning her divorce from Roger Mathews . “You get to a place in your life where you can’t control what other people do. It’s about how you react,” Ronnie told the tabloid. “So, at that point in my life, I knew that Jenny was going through s–t. When you’re going through stuff, you’re going to deflect,” he added. “You’re going to try to push everything away from you as much as you can. She was going through a divorce, she’s got a new boyfriend, her son,” he went on. “So what’s the best thing to do? Deflect — and I’ve done it. We’ve all done it! But you see it, you know, and it’s like, it is what it is.” Asked about the future of his friendship with Farley, Ronnie continued: “If you’ve seen me and Jenni throughout the years, me and her go at it. We’re brother and sister! But we love each other. “We just want the best for each other at the end of the day. It’s not ‘cause we want to be spiteful. We really do just want the best.” Yep, sounds like the folks at Us received a dose of the new and improved sober Ron. The only problem is, just hours later, he was allegedly doing coke and assaulting his girlfriend. We’re thinking Farley was right to side with Harley from the start, and we hope she’s continued to support her new similarly-named friend. View Slideshow: Ronnie Magro: I’m Innocent, Bro! I Was Just Protecting My Daughter!

Alexis Bellino: I’m Not Returning to Housewives! Tamra Judge is MEAN!

Alexis “Jesus Jugs” Bellino really, truly hates that nickname, and the woman who gave it to her: Tamra Judge. While Alexis did make an appearance on The Real Housewives of Orange County , it was only to discuss divorce with Emily Simpson . The former Housewife may have filmed that scene, but she's not coming back. And according to a report by RadarOnline , that is very much by choice. What would keep the recently divorced Alexis from accepting a massive Housewives paycheck? Tamra Judge, apparently. Alexis just can't stand her, and the report explains exactly why.   1. Alexis Bellino could have reclaimed her Orange! “Andy Cohen personally asked Alexis to come back full time this season,” an insider reveals to RadarOnline. 2. Wildly, here was her answer: “But she said no,” the source shares. Not many people are willing to pass up that kind of paycheck. This is especially true of people who were recently divorced. 3. Why TF would she do that? The insider explains that Alexis turned down the offer “because she wants nothing to do with Tamra.” 4. She’s avoiding Tamra like the plague “Tamra runs everyone off the show,” the source characterizes. She can be very supportive to some of her friends, but … yeah, she’s a lot. 5. Apparently it’s not even worth that hefty paycheck “Alexis refused to come back,” the insider reiterates. “Because she won’t be around Tamra.” 6. And yet … she did appear on RHOC “Alexis agreed to film just one scene,” the source notes, referring to Alexis’ sit-down with Emily in which she discussed her life now and how miserable her divorce process was.

The reality show couple are living in luxury in a penthouse apartment in Northern New Jersey where penthouses like theirs can top out at nearly $10,000 a month. Their new building comes with all the bells and whistles befitting a reality star, like a media room, bowling alley, infinity pool, two acres of gardens, a spa and a karaoke bar – all with wall-to-wall views of nearby New York City. Their penthouse on the 47th floor has amenities including an open floor plan, nine-foot ceilings and solar sun sheds to shield their lives from prying eyes. Their kitchen boasts European cabinetry, stainless steel appliances and quartz countertops. It’s not clear how long the lovebirds have lived in the place. The IRS listed Safaree’s penthouse on a $35,166 lien they hit him with last month. The “Hunnid” artist has not responded to the lien as of Oct. 10.

As sustainability becomes more of a hot topic and people are trying to make choices better for the environment, reducing (or completely stopping) your fast fashion shopping, is at the top of the list. Unfortunately, sustainable shopping is honestly, more expensive upfront (and less expensive in the long run). I explain to people that there is truly nothing that costs $5.00. If an item is cheap, someone is paying for it. It may be the individual who made it (lack of fair wages or working conditions) or it may be in the form of the fabric choice (polyester is one of the worst fabrics for the environment as they are made from petrochemicals and non-biodegradable). If you’re on a budget or of lower socio-economic status, you may think that sustainable shopping is not for you. This is not true! There are many options to help you stay on trend and think first about the environment. Keep reading for tips.
