Mark Salling’s Child Porn Case Tossed Out Mark Salling got himself off the hook for his sexual crimes against children in more ways than one when he took his own life last week . According to documents obtained by The Blast , the former “Glee” star’s lawyers moved to have his case dismissed on Monday, and the judge granted the request ‘without prejudice’ on Tuesday. This means the case is eligible for re-filing should the U.S. Attorney decide to do so. Mark was scheduled to be sentenced in March , and was facing down a potential four to seven year prison sentence and $50,000 in restitution to be paid to the children in the tens of thousands of pornographic photos found on his computer. SMH. No word on if the case will be refiled, or if any of the individual victims will bring forward separate suits — especially now that the perpetrator has died.

For a woman who was just delivered a serious blow in her court battle against the Kardashians, Blac Chyna seems to be in astonishingly good spirits. She’s vowing to keep fighting after her huge setback. But she’s also congratulating Kim and Kanye on the birth of their third child , calling the baby girl a “blessing.” You didn’t miss Kim Kardashian’s new, bizarre baby’s name , right? Kimye’s youngest daughter’s name is Chicago West. ( Chicago West sounds like the name of a fashion line or perhaps like Carmen Sandiego’s apprentice, so … it’s fine) Before the news of the baby girl’s name even broke, The Blast caught up to Blac Chyna and asked what she thought of Kim’s third child being born. Chyna replied: “It’s always a blessing. They deserve blessings.” Some may find it surprising that Chyna could be so chipper about the Kardashians, considering recent developments. So, you know how Blac Chyna is suing the entire Kardashian clan ? She claims that they used their influence to sabotage her reality career when it had scarcely begun, effectively blacklisting her at E! If true, this would mean that the Kardashians cost her not only the money she would have earned through reality TV income, but cash from merchandising and endorsements and appearances. Which is why she’s suing. The Kardashians argue that they didn’t maliciously undercut her career — that she missed out on work because she refused to film scenes with Rob, and even got a restraining order against him. Blac Chyna reportedly hates that argument, and countered that she shouldn’t have lost her job over her fear of Rob . Well, RadarOnline reports that Blac Chyna’s lawsuit against the Kardashians saw a major setback. ““Chyna lost today,” their source claims. “But it is a temporary situation. Chyna is going to fight back.” That’s no surprise. Chyna’s a fighter, clearly. “She is going to go back and try again and try and convince the judge of his error.” What error, you ask? Reportedly, the judge in the case indicated that he’s going to remove both Kim Kardashian and Kris Jenner from the lawsuit. This weakens Blac Chyna’s case, we imagine, in two ways. One, because Kris and Kim have deep pockets, and if they’re not the targets of her lawsuit, she can’t be awarded damages directly from them. Two, and we’re just guessing (not legal experts), but one imagines that Blac Chyna will have a harder time arguing that, say, Rob pulled some carefully crafted scheme to sabotage her reality career. Rob is … well, Rob. He’s not exactly an evil genius. But apparently Blac Chyna stands fully poised to convince the judge that Kim and Kris do belong within the scope of her lawsuit. Failing though, though, she’s said to be prepared to amend her lawsuit in such a way that she can still win. Still, though Blac Chyna’s called the Kardashians all sorts of nasty things during the course of her falling out with the family and these legal fights, it’s not a surprise that she’s speaking pleasantly about Chicago’s birth. Blac Chyna’s link to the Kardashians isn’t Rob — it’s Dream. When Chyna talks about Chicago, she’s not just talking about the child of her enemy, she’s talking about the newborn cousin of her own baby daughter. Her feud with the Kardashians is … very complicated. View Slideshow: Blac Chyna and Rob Kardashian: A Turbulent Timeline of Doom
If you’ve been anywhere near social media this week, then you’re no doubt aware that Kim Kardashian has welcomed her third child . You’re probably also aware that she gave that child a very strange name. Yes, the moniker Chicago West is dominating all other Kardashian news this week for the simple reason that it’s an unusual name for a baby girl, even by Kimye standards. Kim and Kanye would probably appreciate it if most critics would hold their damn tongues, but they’re probably not too upset about the fact that Chicago is dominating the entertainment news cycle. For one thing, Kim and Kanye are of the opinion that everything they do is deserving of the public’s full attention and that’s doubly true when they do something that’s actually newsworthy, such as welcoming a child and naming it after a major American city. And as a bonus, the name distracts from the weird news coming out today about Kim and Kanye’s surrogate: As we reported yesterday, Kim’s surrogate was reported to have been very well-paid for her services. That would make perfect sense, of course, as being a surrogate is a major commitment and Kim and Kanye are very wealthy. Today, however, Radar Online is reporting that the surrogate (who remains anonymous) was paid much, much less than initially thought. The site claims that the surrogate received a mere $68,850 in compensation “for all discomfort, pain, suffering, and inconveniences, for pregnancy and pre-birth child support expenses and post-birth expenses.” It’s a sizable sum, to be sure, but a mere fraction of what was expected as payment from one of the wealthiest couples in entertainment. In addition to the flat fee, Kim and Kanye agreed to cover “obstetrical, nursing, hospital and maternity care, pharmaceutical, pediatrics, or other costs,” as well as covering all “medical expenses, fees, costs and services relating to the pregnancy and the birth of the child.” Generous, sure, but also a standard part of most surrogate agreements. The Wests even went so far as to put a clause in the contract ensuring that they would not be held responsible if, for any reason, the surrogate’s husband was forced to miss work during her pregnancy: “The Intended Parents shall have no responsibility to pay the gestational carrier’s husband’s lost wages under this agreement,” We should note that none of this comes directly from the surrogate, as according to the terms of her contract, she’s not permitted to speak to the press. The surrogate’s parents spoke on her behalf earlier this week and assured the public that all is well. “She is doing well,” her mother told Radar Online. “Everything went well. As a matter of fact, she’s at home resting,” said the surrogate’s father, when asked if there were any complications. Both parties declined to offer any further information for fear of giving away their daughter’s identity. An anonymous source says the mother-of-two is happy with the arrangement, as she was never really in it for the money: “Neither she or her husband have asked for a nickel more from Kim or Kanye” said the source. “They just wanted to bless someone’s family with the gift of a child.” That’s nice and all, but if the family you’re blessing happens to be insanely wealthy, might as well ensure that your own kids are taken care of, right?

New Series “Two Sides” Examines The Lives & Legacies Of Those Who Died In Police Custody & Sparked Social Change The mother of Eric Garner said she still wrestles with forgiving the police officers who killed her son three years ago. “I pray every night to forgive,” Gwen Carr said of her son Eric Garner’s death. “Because you have to forgive for yourself. But when someone takes your child away, it’s so hard. I pray to God every night to forgive me because I haven’t forgiven them.” Garner died in the midst of an arrest in 2014, and his final words, “I can’t breathe,” ignited protests around the world. Carr said the lack of accountability in the death of Garner, a married father, makes it even worse. “Maybe in time when justice comes,” she said, “I will have a better sense of forgiveness in my heart. Because there has been no justice.” Garner’s life, death and the movement it sparked is one of the subjects of “Two Sides,” a new docu-series from TV One that examines four cases – Eric Garner, John Crawford, Sandra Bland and Ezell Ford – that became symbols in the social justice fight. Instead of reenactments, the series uses actual footage from the incidents and goes in-depth with the people who were involved. Oscar winner Viola Davis is one of the series’ executive producers, and her producing partner Lemuel Plummer said his goal for “Two Sides” was to “bridge the gap between black and blue.” “Two Sides” courtesy of TV One “We’re not taking a biased approach,” Plummer said, “We’re hearing from all sides. We want the audience walking away understanding why this is happening, and why police officers end up making these decisions.” Shante Needham, the sister of Sandra Bland, agreed with Carr, and said every day has been a struggle since losing her sibling, especially when she sees more cases of people dying at the hands of police officers. “Well of course, we have to forgive if we say we are children of God,” Needham said. “But it’s the act of forgetting. I still ask three years later, ‘Why?’ Why did they do this to my sister?” Needham added that she hoped viewers would see the show as a call to action. “When you see something, speak up,” she said. “Stop letting things go under the rug…so our kids and grandkids don’t have to come up in the manner we have.” “Two Sides” will air Jan. 22 on TV One.

Yesterday, the world learned that Kim Kardashian and Kanye West welcomed their third child ! The baby girl was born via surrogate, and while we’re sure that the family is overjoyed, we don’t yet know the name. Reportedly, not even Kimye know the name. And rumor has it that Kim and her sister Kylie are having a tug-of-war over a name that they both want for their child. Kim Kardashian decided to have her third child via surrogate. She did this, not only because pregnancy absolutely sucks, but because Kim has a potentially life-threatening condition known as placenta accreta, in which the placenta becomes too firmly attached to the uterine wall. This makes for difficult pregnancies that put Kim’s life at risk. A surrogate was definitely the right call. Kim was present for the childbirth, and was the first person to have skin-to-skin contact with her newborn daughter. Oh, and their third child was born at Cedars-Sinai in L.A. which is the same place where both North and Saint were born. Kim and Kanye have set the bar pretty high when it comes to epic names. Though Kim and Kanye both have K-names, they’re eschewing Kris Jenner’s K-naming convention, opting instead for distinctive names that really make an impact. North West is … truly an incredible name. And Saint West … well, we’d say that no one saw that one coming, but six months before Saint was born, someone tweeted: “Watch kanye name his kid ‘saint’ or some stupid s–t.” We did all watch. North and Saint will be tough acts to follow. This Kimye newborn is only the first of the 2018 Kardashian Baby Boom, however. Kylie Jenner is pregnant , and though her sister Khloe is also pregnant after many years of talking about it and (seemingly) worrying about her fertility, Kylie’s baby is arguably the most anticipated childbirth of this coming year. Reportedly, Kylie Jenner’s due date is February 4th. She’s had a long, long time to consider what to name her baby. She is expecting a baby girl, and according to a report, there’s a name that she really likes. You might even say that she loves it. There’s just one problem: Kim also likes the name. According to RadarOnline , Kim and Kylie are fighting over baby names . 2018 is only a couple of weeks out of the gate, and it’s already wild. The name in question? Love . “Kim and Kylie were fighting over the name,” their source claims. It’s not the first time that Kylie and Kim have competed against each other. They’re the two richest Kardashians, with their various ventures (and both are in the makeup business). Apparently, Kylie “also likes the name Princess.” Kim, as the big sister, was apparently “learning toward Star, and will likely let Kylie have Love.” This same report claims that Kanye wants to name their daughter “South,” but that Kim thinks that it would be too cheesy … and that it would be bad for their brand. We’ll take that report with a grain of salt, but it’s worth considering those names. Is Kylie planning on giving her baby Travis Scott’s last name? I’ve always thought that patrilineal names don’t make much sense, especially since Kylie’s the one who was pregnant. Travis Scott’s part of the equation was brief and, presumably, accidental. What’s more, while Love West would be one hell of a baby name, Love Scott would be … awkward. Imagine Kourtney Kardashian, whose ex is Scott Disick, saying the name of her newborn niece. Yikes. If Kim names her daughter Star West, then their daughters’ names would be North and Star . Cute. But don’t fixate on any names just yet. You never know what Kimye might come up with.
