Kim Kardashian has taken a pathetic page from Kris Jenner. A few weeks after Jenner teased her talk show premiere with a supposed North West photo , Kim took to Facebook this week and posted a shot of herself, Kourtney Kardashian and a baby, with the caption: Love these precious moments… This is not daughter North West she’s looking at, of course. It is a picture of nephew Mason Dash from a few years ago. And it seems like even the most ardent Kim Kardashian supporters are growing sick of the fake-outs and misleading images/information. Wrote one follower: “Enough kim !! We already know this is not ur baby north west !! … U want millions of dollars just to see ur baby ? C’mom … Ur baby worth that money? Cuz i dont think so !!!” Really. We couldn’t have said it better ourselves, Kim fan. Take all the time and privacy you want, Kim. But don’t toy with the emotions of those who follow your every move, Tweet and Facebook posting in this manner. Seriously. This is getting ridiculous even by your standards.
There’s a new member of the Fox News family. The network announced today that anchor Megyn Kelly has given birth to a son named Thatcher Bray. He weighs in at 8 pounds, 2 ounces; is the third child for Kelly and husband Douglas Brunt; and is ” totally awesome ,” according to the mother herself. Kelly and Brunt were married in 2008 and are already parents to Yates, 4, and Yardley, 2. The reporter announced on Valentine’s Day – live on air! – that she and Doug were expecting their third child. She then went on to eviscerate Lou Dobbs and Erick Erickson on her program. We send our very best to the expanded family!
Worst Subway “sandwich artist” ever. By a landslide. An employee of the restaurant chain admitted Monday to putting his penis on the store’s sandwich bread, then posting the photo on Instagram to prove it. Also, his co-worker froze his urine at work: The Columbus, Ohio, duo’s Twitter and Instagram pages are chock full of photos of their exploits, including bread baked into the shape of genitals. That is sandwich art, in an X-rated way. One of the men, Cameron Boggs, has no qualms about going public with this information, boasting “today at work I froze my pee” in a water bottle. Boggs posted (and later deleted) the most incriminating photo, which depicts his partner in revolting crime rubbing his junk on a foot-long sub . It was posted on Instagram by username “weedpriest” with a caption that reads, “My name is @ianjett and I will be your sandwich artist today.” Delish. Later, Ian Jett copped to defiling the footlong, but said it was at home, and a joke: “I would never do that at work – that was at my home,” he said. “This isn’t something I’d ever do at Subway. It was totally a joke.” Quite the sense of humor. Boggs’ other photo shows a water bottle full of a yellow substance he swears is his urine, and says was taken at Subway. Store employees confirmed that Boggs and Jett work at the Subway location at Tuttle Crossing Boulevard in Columbus … at least for the next half hour. The anonymous tipster who sent in the photos was horrified: “I saw the frozen piss picture and thought, ‘What is this guy doing?’ Then came the penis picture. They’re stupid enough for doing this in the first place.” “But then to post it to the world? It was a dumb move. I didn’t send these to be vindictive,” he added, “But something needs to be done. It’s disgusting.” He said he turned in the pics after reading about the alleged masturbating pizza shop owner in San Diego, who was said to be outed by users on 4Chan. There was also Wendy’s Frosty Guy … and Taco Bell Shell Licking Guy . Seriously, fast food employees. We know you’re bored. But quit defiling the food.
While a pamphlet of sex alternatives from an Australian Christian school was amusing, this story of a coach taking an interest in her players’ lives well beyond that of a normal coach is far from it. Beckie Francis was fired from her position of women’s basketball coach at University of Oakland on June 12th. Didn’t hear about it? Well at the time it wasn’t a big story. The school joined Division I in 1997 but hasn’t been what one might call an athletic powerhouse, so the news didn’t make “the news.” Until last night. Everyone who has played sports has a story about a coach who was a jerk. Worked them too hard, expected too much, wasn’t happy with anything. Most of the time it turns out the coach was just trying to get the best out of the players and being ‘hard’ was the way they decided to go about it. Their actions rarely inflict lasting bad feelings, and in the end usually end up being to the players’ benefit. The women who played for Beckie Francis are telling their own “horrible coach” story and it’s not one that has that element of wistful remembrance of a time and person that meant so much to them, a happy moment in their lives. No, those players are telling the tale of a coach who would often question their religious practices, inviting them to her church. A coach whose constant monitoring of their weight led quite of few to the dark world of eating disorders. A coach who even inquired about their sex lives, insisting that they tell all who asked that they were virgins; Christian virgins. Beckie Francis has made news headlines before. Last fall she became a spokesperson of sort against sexual abuse, admitting to her own experiences of being sexually abused by her father. Now she is making headlines for a different kind of abuse, mental and emotional. When talking to the Detroit Free Press , former University of Oakland player, Stacey Farrell said that “mental abuse is definitely the two words that describe my three years there.” According to other former players, many of who have requested to remain nameless in the press, Francis would join in practice with the players, only to touch their stomachs asking to “feel your sixpack”. Francis even went so far to ask one of her assistant coaches to take photographs of her players in their sports bras and spandex, “flexing their muscles” at different times so she had a record of their weight and appearance. So why didn’t these players go tell someone all this was happening? Besides the usual sports mentality of “coach knows best”, Beckie Francis is married to the University president, Gary Russi. The same day that Francis was fired, it was announced that Russi would retire, effective August 1st. Many players that left the Oakland program have gone on to find success at other schools, but there are plenty more who have lost a love of the game and are left with a distrust of those who should be looked to for guidance.
A healthy eight-pound, six-ounce boy born at 4:24 p.m. at St. Mary’s Hospital in London today doesn’t even have a name yet, but he needs no introduction. He’s the Royal Baby, people.

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt have just experienced the mother of all “pregnancy shockers” and are – wait for it, and breathe – expecting TWINS! AGAIN**! ** – According to the new cover of OK! While fake weddings and pregnancies are standard celebrity gossip fare, this publication takes the cake as far as bogus Brangelina scoop goes. Not that it’s any surprise at this point. Jolie, the magazine says if you actually read the article, wants to become pregnant again – with twins, hopefully, before her ability to have kids ends. Considering Ange’s recent medical procedures – she underwent a double mastectomy and may have her ovaries removed next – we sort of doubt it. That and she and fiance Brad are devoted parents to six beautiful children already. Six! Unless you’re Michelle Duggar , that’s a lot to handle.
First, Kim Kardashian . Now, Jessica Simpson. The singer has become the latest celebrity mother, her rep confirmed this afternoon to Us Weekly , telling the magazine of Simpson and fiance Eric Johnson: ” Ace Knute (pronounced Ka-nute) Johnson has arrived! Mom and baby are doing great. Jessica, Eric and Maxwell are thrilled to welcome the new addition to their family.” The young man was born via C-section in Los Angeles. His measurements are unknown at this time. Simpson and Johnson are already parents to a 14-month old daughter, with the singer announcing she was expecting again in November. We send our best wishes to the growing family!
Kate Middleton is due to give birth to the royal heir(ess) in just a few weeks … which makes this celebrity gossip tabloid cover nothing short of amazing. Promising ALL THE DETAILS of the royal birth, Life & Style omits just one: Kate Middleton hasn’t actually delivered the royal baby yet. Despite this minor discrepancy, her family and security team have “rushed to the hospital,” while Prince William has been “torn” from his wife’s side. Life & Style has taken up writing some historical fiction, apparently. Isn’t the point of being a gossip magazine that you write just that? As in gossip people might actually believe, and that while difficult to prove, is equally challenging to disprove? Thus keeping the rumor mill churning? This is just a bizarre, blatant misstatement of commonly-known fact, not unlike if THG were to tell you these Kim Kardashian baby photos were real. THG NOTE: They’re not, but they’re hilarious.
Jodi Arias: Dirty Little Secret is a Lifetime movie of the first-degree, a true crime story ripped from the headlines and sensationalized for your entertainment. But is it any good? Therein lies the problem. Dirty Little Secret reveals scant few secrets, and leaves one wondering if the film was released too soon. Just last month, an Arizona jury found Jodi Arias guilty of killing her former lover, motivational speaker Travis Alexander, in unspeakable fashion. Arias unpersuasively argued that she killed him in self-defense, when police believed she came at him in a jealous rage, stabbing him 30 times. Dirty Little Secret was clearly fast-tracked into production, and was filming while Arias was still on trial for the 2008 murder of Alexander this spring. As such, Lifetime provides us with a straightforward tale of passion gone awry which, while compelling, pales in comparison to the real-life court saga. For 18 days, Arias took the stand and produced gripping TV with salacious claim after salacious claim, making for America’s most talked-about reality show. Yet her arrest, trial and conviction is crammed into the last 15 minutes of the film and feels secondary to a crime of passion story based on conjecture. Which isn’t to say there aren’t still bright spots. You would never call this kind of thing art, or give it credit for making any profound points, but as a primetime soap goes, it ranks pretty high up there. Tania Raymonde (Alex from Lost ) does a nice job of portraying Jodi’s humanity, even as her behavior deteriorates and ultimately turns sociopathic. By and large, Tania sells us on all of the romance, sex, obsession, betrayal and vengeance one would expect in a made-for TV film of this nature. She also bears a remarkable likeness to Jodi, which helps. As for Travis, he’s played by Jesse Lee Soffer in a way that surely won’t leave the family and friends of the real Alexander sending thank you notes. He’s conflicted by his desire to screw Arias on one hand, and his lack of willingness to commit to a real relationship on the other hand. That’s about it. Even when she becomes increasingly erratic and regresses to the point where he should run away scared, he can’t resist the pleasures she provides. He does not come across as a very deep thinker, and trouble brews when Jodi starts to realize she’s playing something of a time-passing role. She’s love struck, but to her, she’s a booty call and nothing more. When he makes this abundantly clear at last, Jodi snaps, and the rest is history. If only we’d gotten to see the best parts unfold.
Kim Kardashian’s breasts are working overtime these days. Always a busy pair of mammary glands, they’re now occupied nearly around the clock by baby North West, as the new mom is ALL ABOUT breastfeeding. According to insiders, Kim’s already-sizable rack has swelled to record-sized G-CUP LEVELS following her pregnancy, but that’s all good with her. She’ll take them out for breastfeeding anytime, anywhere ! The 32-year-old actively looks forward to her “feedings” with North West , and changes her dirty diapers to boot. “She does it all,” one close source says. Kim Kardashian kritics will note that in 2010, she ripped a mom on Twitter for breastfeeding at a restaurant, but clearly opinions change once it’s yours. Nice to see that Kim has taken to motherhood like a newborn baby to a … you know. Sorry ‘Ye. Looks like they’re occupied for awhile there, man. Speaking of the baby daddy, sources say that despite all the rumors of Kanye ditching them , “no one has ever seen him like this” and he’s a natural dad. Nice to hear these two publicity-crazed stars seemingly content with laying low focusing on what really matters for now … who’d have guessed? They haven’t even shared any pictures yet! In eight days! The only Kim Kardashian baby photos out there are fakes … hilarious ones, but fakes. What do you think: Will Kim Kardashian be a good mom? Yes, the best! HA! Are you kidding?
