Maddie Brown Shares New Baby Photo, Inspiring Words of Parental Wisdom

Simly put, you guys? Maddie Brown for all the wins. Seriously… every last one of them. The daughter Kody and Janelle Brown welcomed her second child into the world back on August 20. The blessed news was kept quiet for a short period of time, prior to the proud grandmother posting a picture of Maddie’s kids and writing as a caption: Axel loves his new little sister Evie (Short for Evangalynn)! Please tell me that other grandmothers can stare at their grandkids photos forever. #grandkids. Since then, Maddie has been kind enough to post a number of adorable pictures of little Evie, including this one immediately below, which features husband Caleb as well: We love it. We also love both the latest snapshot Maddie has published to her Instagram account, along with the amazing caption she included along with it. In the photo, as you’re about to see, little Evangalynn is wearing a floral top and donning a yellow bow. The photo went out to Maddie’s 220,000 followers, as did this simple and motivational sentence: I hope I raise her to think she breathes fire! Simply perfect, right? Both the little girl and also Maddie’s message here, that she wants Evie to grow up to be strong and confident and ready to take on the world. With Sister Wives set to premiere amidt a flurry of troubling rumors regarding Kody and his better halves, it’s refreshing to have some positive news once in relation to this family. It’s a welcome change, in our opinion. To keep the smiles flowing, here’s another look at Axel and Evie: “Someone once told me parenthood consists of a lot of long days and short years. Something that hits home so hard,” Brown wrote on Instagram back on September 12. She then shared several more thoughts about this unique time in her life. “Miss Evie is 3 weeks and and Axel is almost 2.5 and I feel like its all become one tiny little blur and time has robbed me,” she explained, continuing as follows: “How did my first baby get so big? Why is my second already almost a month old!?” We’re sure almost every parent out there has asked the same question at some point in his or her journey. Concluded Maddie in this message: Time is a theif and on days I get irrationally mad at what its robbing me of. I wish I could freeze it and soak up these babies just a little longer! No real reason I’m sharing this, other than to just share and say, enjoy your days and love on your family members. Amen, Maddie. Just… amen.

HAUGHT OR NAUGHT: H&M Under Fire For Neglecting A Young Black Models’ Hair, The Popular Retailer Defends Hairstyle

More:

Another day – another scandal. We’ve made it through fashion week with only a few hiccups, but now H&M is once again under fire. The brand was in the news in 2018 for having a little Black boy wear a shirt that said, “The coolest monkey in the jungle.” Now they are facing scrutiny for how a young Black woman’s hair was featured on their site. It was celebrity hairstylist, Vernon Francois , who shamed the brand via Instagram. View this post on Instagram It’s essential that we have a conversation about this photograph from the @hm_kids campaign.  Before I begin, I do not have the facts, nor have I seen any statement by #H&M or the team who worked on this. This post is just an assessment based on all my years of seeing situations like this happen time and time again.  And its got to stop. This beautiful young girl’s #kinky hair appears to have had very little to no attention yet all of her counterparts have clearly sat in front of someone who was more then capable of styling other hair textures. My heart breaks imagining yet another girl from my community sitting in front of a mirror being ignored by the team around her, left to her own devices because someone didn’t know how to handle her texture. As if that’s not bad enough…. Prior to this campaign appearing this photograph will have been seen and APPROVED by countless ‘professionals'. Lets say conservatively 50 people. It’s breathtaking to me that not one person looked at this shot and had the same reaction that the internet seems to be feeling since the campaign broke.  THAT IS AN ISSUE.  We must do better.  Our girls, our young women deserve better.  Let this be a moment of learning. #Education is key #wehavetodobetter #vernonfrancois #Ignorance #blackgirlmagic #allhairisgoodhair A post shared by Vernon François (@vernonfrancois) on Sep 19, 2019 at 9:33pm PDT The young model has Type 4 hair, which often isn’t even represented in ads and campaigns. The other issue is that often at fashion shows or shoots, Black models are forced to do their hair themselves because hairstylists who can do their hair are not hired on set. Yes, despite all the diversity initiatives, we are still having this issue in 2019. Francois stated via his Instagram, “This beautiful young girl’s #kinky hair appears to have had very little to no attention yet all of her counterparts have clearly sat in front of someone who was more then capable of styling other hair textures. My heart breaks imagining yet another girl from my community sitting in front of a mirror being ignored by the team around her, left to her own devices because someone didn’t know how to handle her texture.” ‘Nuff said. Of course when social media got their hands on this, H&M released a statement to Essence, “We are aware of the comments regarding one of our models for H&M Kids. We truly believe that all kids should be allowed to be kids. The school aged kids who model for us come to the photo studio in the afternoon after school and we aim for a natural look which reflects that.” Well. It is true that a young Black girl with Type 4 hair could leave her house with her hair looking together and after school and rough play on the playground, look like this. This is natural, Type 4 hair, without a brush and edge control. If people were shocked, is it normally because we are used to seeing it “tamed”? Personally, I understand what H&M is trying to do; however, I believe that an image lasts a lifetime. If all the other kids are represented looking polish, I’d appreciate if someone put a paddle brush to this child’s hair and helped to smooth her afro puff. Beauties, we want you to weigh in: is H&M right or wrong for leaving this young girls hair in its natural state? Take our poll and sound off in the comment section.

Demi Moore: Ashton Kutched Forced Me to Have Threesomes, Pushed Me Back Into Alcoholism

Remember that very brief period of time when Ashton Kutcher was an in-demand A-lister? Yeah, it turns out society was right to leave his trucker hat-wearing ass in the early 2000s trash heap alongside Avatar and Dick Cheney. Ashton married Demi Moore back in 2005, and there was a time when it looked like the couple might really make it work despite his relative youth. (Kutcher was just 27 when they got hitched; Moore, 43.) The actors remained married for 8 years, which was considerably longer than the celebrity prognosticators of the time predicted. Of course, we now know that Kutcher was cheating, partying, and generally acting like the kind of douche who owns a ton of ironic trucker hats throughout their time together. Moore has a new memoir coming out next week, and the excerpts that have been released thus far are not exactly flattering to the Kutch. For starters, Demi confirms that Kutcher cheated during their marriage, but arguably worse is the fact that he engaged in a weird gaslighting campaign in order to make her feel like it was her fault.  The trouble began, Moore writes, when she agreed to engage in a threesome with her then-husband. “I wanted to show him how great and fun I could be,” she says, adding that she now feels their two trysts with a third partner were “mistakes.” Moore reveals in the book that when Ashton was caught sleeping with Sara Leal  at Danny Masterson’s bachelor party (“I felt sick to my stomach,” Demi says of Leal’s confession. “I knew she wasn’t lying.”) the Punk’d host claimed he thought she wouldn’t have a problem with it, seeing as their marriage was no longer monogamous. “Because we had brought a third party into our relationship, Ashton said, that blurred the lines and, to some extent, justified what he’d done,” Moore writes. Elsewhere in the book, Moore says that her relapse after 20 years of sobriety was at partially due to Kutcher’s dismissive attitude toward her alcoholism. “I don’t know if alcoholism is a real thing — I think it’s all about moderation,” Kutcher reportedly said while sipping wine at dinner one night. “I didn’t think, ‘This is a kid in his twenties who has no idea what he’s talking about,’” she wrote. “Instead, I cast about for justifications for his argument.” That same night, Moore says, she had her first drink in more than two decades. During her split from Kutcher, Moore says her drinking quickly spiraled out of control. “Drinking became interwoven in my pain,” she writes. Based on what we now know about him, it’s no surprise that Kutcher was of little help in her recovery. In fact, it seems he made matters worse, shaming Moore by snapping embarrassing pics when she passed out intoxicated during a party. “It seemed like a good-natured joke at the time, but it was really just shaming.”,” the actress recalls. “It was also confusing: Ashton had encouraged me to go in this direction.” These days, Kutcher is married to Mila Kunis , and together, they’re working to help the That ’70s Show cast supplant Glee for the title of “most effed up group of teen actors from an early-2000s Fox show.” View Slideshow: 25 Couples With HUGE Age Differences

Scott Disick Explodes at Corey Gamble for Threat to Whip Daughter

We rarely take the same side as Scott Disick. He has always seemed rich, spoiled, entitled and never fully appreciative of Kourtney Kardashian. But this clip from Keeping Up with the Kardashian has us fully cheering on Team Lord, considering what Corey Gamble says about the reality star's daughter, Penelope. The drama kicks off when Kourtney reveals to some of her loved one  that her nanny quit after her middle child with Scott “scratched her face,” saying of the six-year old: “You guys, I don't have a nanny anymore,” she tells them, explaining what transpired as follows: “She said P was really upset. She was putting her in the car and Penelope scratched her face. But, P can be out of control. I think she almost blacks out and does these wild things.” Ummm… she blacks out and does wild things? That sounds like a major problem, Kourtney. Kris Jenner mostly agrees, telling her daughter in this sneak peek that she ought to take this development seriously. “I had six kids. Not one time in my entire life did anyone ever have a complaint like this,” the Kardashian-Jenner matriarch says. Kourtney responds by saying she has no real recourse because there's nothing material she can take away from Penelope. And this is when Jenner's boyfriend, Corey Gamble, steps in with some polarizing advice. “I'm sorry, but if P scratched me for no reason, I'm whipping her ass and I'll explain it to y'all later,” Corey says. “What? You would whoop Penelope's ass if she scratched you?” Scott responds in disbelief. Gamble doesn't back down here. He doubles down, in fact, reiterating what he says above, to which Disick fires back: “My daughter? What the hell are you talking about? You would whoop my daughter's ass if she touched you? A little six-year-old girl? What the f–k are you talking about? Stop it!” Whether or not you think spanking is proper punishment for a child, one must admit that someone who isn't the child's parent likely should not be making this sort of threat. “You're not going to beat my little daughter! Get the f-ck out of here,” Disick concludes in this footage. Check out another clip from this Sunday's brand-new episode HERE and then check out this Disick-Gamble exchange. Keeping Up With the Kardashians will air on Sunday at 9/8c on E!.

For Your Viewing Pleasure: Rihanna’s Savage X Fenty Runway Show Is Unlike Anything You’ve Ever Seen At NYFW

Source: Ilya S. Savenok / Getty Rihanna Gives Us A Behind-The-Scenes Look At NYFW After Rihanna showed off her latest collection of Savage X Fenty lingerie during New York Fashion Week, all of the celebrities in attendance took to their social media pages to express how amazing of a show it was. Now, we’re the ones sitting in the front row, as Rih gives us an all access pass to the fashion show, behind-the-scenes, and more. In a completely unprecedented move, the whole event premiered on Amazon Prime Video on Friday, and is now available to stream in more than 200 countries and territories. Special features include show preparation, backstage, and behind-the-scenes footage, along with the label’s Fall/Winter 2019 collection being made available via the streaming service’s sister site, Amazon Fashion. https://www.instagram.com/p/B2ng0d5FisH/ Unlike your run of the mill fashion show, Rihanna’s meticulously choreographed production combined dance, musical performance, theater and obviously, lingerie. Big Sean, Normani , Migos, DJ Khaled, and more performed while models of all shapes and sizes danced, posed, and walked across the stage. If you want to know that the lingerie you’re buying can withstand some serious movement, look no further than the insane choreography these girls were throwing down while showcasing the new collection. The fashion show that Rih put together is a definite masterpiece that everyone needs to see, and if you ever doubted how much involvement the mogul has in her non-musical endeavors: this will show you just how hands-on the songstress really is. And for anyone out there missing Ms. Fenty’s stage presence, she blesses us with a little taste in the beginning of the show–so that alone is reason enough to check it out. Peep a preview of the show down below and check out the whole thing exclusively on Amazon Prime Video here . https://www.instagram.com/p/B2nya6slyEe/

Beyoncé Vs. Lisa Bonet: Black Twitter Debates Two Icons

See the original post here:

Source: Kevin Mazur / Getty Beyoncé continues to be full of surprises and this week she had the Beyhive buzzing when she dressed up as the iconic beauty Lisa Bonet . The photos surfaced on Beyoncé’s website as she celebrates her 38th birthday. The images were apart of a gallery of pictures from Beyoncé’s past year or so, which included photos with her husband Jay-Z , outings at events like Leonardo DiCaprio ‘s birthday, and Halloween dress-ups like her interpretation of Lisa Bonet. One image included Bey’s adorable twins, Rumi and Sir Carter , dressed in kente cloth-like overalls while their mom was modeling her Lisa Bonet looks. You can check out one of the photos here . Of course, Twitter was set aflame by witnessing an icon dress up like an icon. Most people were thrilled that Beyoncé (once again) was showing respect to the Black women who came before her.

Some folks were Queen Bey all day. Beyoncé did Lisa Bonet better than Lisa Bonet — J.A.B. (@broaddayjay___) September 20, 2019   While others fervently shined Lisa Bonet’s crown as the queen.

In their opinions, Beyoncé still has a lot to live up to. Saw that Lisa Bonet was trending. I was like then found out it was because of a @Beyonce picture.

There were no others. pic.twitter.com/773ATTcnAQ — Shane Padgett (@ShanePadgett) September 20, 2019   No matter how your gorgeous icons rank, Beyoncé is clearly happy that these ladies from the past have paved the way forward. Along with Lisa Bonet, Beyoncé has also suited up as Lil Kim, Toni Braxton and Florence “Flo-Jo” Griffith Joyner in the past. In a moment of reflection on her site, Bey wrote in a birthday letter, “Thank you from the depths of me for all my birthday loving. I had an incredible B-day! I’m grateful for every breath. I thank God for all of my blessings, my wins and my losses. I thank God for all of you! I would have posted earlier, but I had work to do. I gotta job Baaaaby. Here is your B at 37. Love Y’all.” Meanwhile, Lisa Bonet continues to be celebrated by people across generations. The actress gained prominence when she starred as Denise Huxtable on The Cosby Show from 1984 to 1991. She also took on the same role for the sitcom A Different World from 1987 to 1989. Up until today, the 51-year-old actress would make T.V. and movie appearances every now and then, from Biker Boyz to Road to Paloma , which stars her husband Jason Momoa .
