A “Lil Positivity”: Life-Long Florida Orphan Davion Only Receives Thousands Of Offers After Pleading For Family “Please Just Love Me Til I Die”

Damn this is so sad it almost makes us want to adopt him ourselves… Orphan Davion Only Pleads With Church For A Foster Family Via ABCNews The adoption agency handling the case of a Florida orphan whose church plea for a family to “love me until I die” has garnered national attention has been inundated with inquiries about him and offers to adopt him. “We have received a tremendous response from Davion’s story!” Eckerd posted on their Facebook page today. The agency has created a call center “to respond to each and every call” about 15-year-old Davion Navar Henry Only. “We ask that folks be patient, we are incredibly grateful for the outcry of interest in Davion and we will get back to everyone as soon as we can,” they wrote. “We are nearing 1,000 inquiries already! #secondchances” The agency has been so overwhelmed with calls that its voicemail has been filled to capacity, which has some people reporting problems. They are assuring people that the call center is working hard to respond to every call and message. Only, 15, has been in foster care his whole life, but has never had a family. On a recent Sunday, he stood in front of St. Mark Missionary Baptist Church in St. Petersburg, Fla., and made a public plea for a family. “I’ll take anyone,” Davion said. “Old or young, dad or mom, black, white, purple. I don’t care. And I would be really appreciative. The best I could be.” The plea has garnered national attention that Davion hopes will help him finally find a family. There has been an outpouring of support online for Davion, including on Facebook, Twitter and ABCNews.com. If you’re not crying by now, you’re probably not human… “We live in NY, but my husband just called the agency. We are waiting for a call back from them,” reader Denise Aponte Smith Kline wrote in the comments section of the ABCNews.com story. “We are foster parents and we have had 13 children come through our doors over the last 5-6 years. All of them so very special.” “We would be willing to adopt Davion if there isn’t another family, locally in his county, who doesn’t come forward,” Kline wrote. “Trusting the Lord to work this all out in Davion’s favor. No child should have to ever make a plea like that.” “Wow. I hope this kid finds a loving home,” another reader wrote. “It breaks my heart that so many children grow up in foster care. And when people adopt, they want babies or toddlers, not older kids or teens. Those kids deserve just as much love! Davion, I wish you the absolute best in life!!!” We pray that Davion finds a loving family to help raise him into a great man. Image via YouTube Continue reading

Katie Holmes and Jamie Foxx: New Couple Alert?!

Katie Holmes is in a romantic relationship with Jamie Foxx, a new report claims, and not only that, the duo has reportedly been together for some time. Sources tell celebrity gossip magazine In Touch that Holmes, 34, and Foxx, 45, are determined to keep the romance quiet, and out of the public eye. “Katie and Jamie have been dating for a while,” an insider told the publication, adding that Foxx secretly spends time at Holmes’ New York apartment. “They’re very Mission: Impossible about their romance.” Very well played, totally accurate In Touch source. Another source claims that when a driver pulled up to take Foxx to the set of his new movie, Annie, they were shocked when Holmes instead entered: “A hotel employee confirmed that Katie had stayed at the hotel with Jamie and that she was taking his car. So the driver drove her home to her apartment.” Radar reported that the two were getting cozy in August, when Holmes and Foxx were holding hands and dancing together at a Hamptons benefit. At the time, a rep for the mother of Suri Cruise insisted the two were “just friends,” but magazine sources contend the two are very much an item. Do you believe it? And do you think they make a cute couple if so? How do you think that Tom Cruise would react to the news? Share your comments below .

Man Carves Wedding Photo in Corn Field to Celebrate 50-Year Anniversary, Shows Up All Other Husbands

Sorry, every other husband in the world. You can stop trying now. Paul Derthick has come up with the best anniversary gift of all-time. The 72-year old celebrated 50 years of marriage to wife Marie last week by carving out 17 acres of his Ohio farm to resemble the couple’s 1963 wedding photo. “He did it with the kids. They kept it a secret. I thought they were nuts, but it’s actually turned out very well,” Marie told Good Morning America today, vastly under-selling the impressive achievement pictured above. They carved out John Glenn last year and the Twin Towers in 2010 out of respect for the 10-year anniversary of 9/11. They’ve also used the farm to pay tribute to their favorite sports team, the Steelers and the Browns. But this one may be the ultimate accomplishment for Paul. “They put it together very nicely, with the church where we were married at the top, and our wedding picture of the two of us in the middle and the old tractor at the bottom,” Marie says. Are you paying attention, Lamar Odom ? This may be your key to winning Khloe Kardashian back. Any chance you know how to plow?

Fair Or Too Far? Lady-Lovin’ Female Musician Films Freaky Flick On Westboro Baptist Church Lawn

Gay Musician Tapes Adult Film On Westboro Baptist Church Lawn The hate-filled folks of Westboro Baptist Church got an raunchy rude-awakening recently when a punk-rock band who are also LGBT supporters did the unthinkable right on the church lawn. via Huffington Post The Westboro Baptist Church’s Kansas compound recently became the setting for a [freaky] flick filmed by a bisexual punk musician. Yes, really. Gawker first brought attention to the Westboro [triple X] stunt in a post published Oct. 3. Bisexual bassist Laura Lush, of the punk band Get Shot!, headed to WBC headquarters on Sept. 30 to film herself m*st*rb*ting at the location, according to the group’s Facebook page. “The Phelps family and Westboro Baptist Church are ridiculous and do nothing except spread hate and cause controversy,” Lush in a press release posted on the page. “As a bisexual woman and the bass player of a ridiculous punk band, I wanted to spread my legs and cause controversy.” There’s no question that Westboro Baptist Church is known for doing things as equally, if not more, offensive and disrespectful than this (like t hreatening to protest at the funerals of the Sandy Hook students )….but do you think these punk rockers took it too far or do these sorry excuse for “Christians” deserve any and everything form of backlash that they get?

Charlie Hunnam may not have been fans’ ideal choice to play Christian Grey, but the Fifty Shades of Grey movie star may be a better fit than many realize. During an interview with E!

The Real Housewives of Miami Recap: Even the Sex Is Boring…

The Real Housewives of Miami perform some old “Black Magic” but it still wasn’t enough to keep me from yawning through this episode. We’ll recap the marriage spin and boring sex in our THG +/- review. A couple of weeks ago Romain bought Joanna a car. Now he’s bought her a house. He obviously wants to get married…but not have sex?   Minus 17 . Is anyone else confused? Romain and Joanna haven’t had sex in six weeks and that’s OK with him. Seriously? He even turns our down for a quickie in their new home.   So what’s the deal. Is he gay? Too tired from his mistress to want his fiance? Is he just not that into her? Or is he truly the romantic he claims to be and likes to take his time? Even if that’s true, six weeks is a bit much. Romain’s ticked off that Marta’s still meddling, even from states away, so he refuses to show up for he and Joanna’s sex therapy session.  Minus 22. Honestly, if you need a sex therapist before the marriage, is it even worth it?  I think I’ve heard enough about Joanna just wanting to get f**ked and we’re not even through half of the season. Marysol calls in her psychic. I guess with momma Elsa out of commission she needs reinforcements. Plus 12 because a card reading sounds like fun. Not so much. The psychic advisor sees that someone has performed black magic on Elsa. The woman is about 50, blonde and likes to manipulate those around her. I was a little surprised they didn’t have a cartoon bubble over their heads with a picture of Lea Black in a witch hat. Minus 18. Could that description have been any more obvious? Lea and Alexia had dueling social functions but Lea had Lance Bass promoting hers. Hopefully that helps because Alexia and Herman’s party looked darn empty. Alexia was hoping for a little drama which is why she didn’t bother stepping in when Romain, Frederic, and Adriana started arguing…in French. Why does fighting sound sexier when done in French? Plus 11. But how much of a publicity whore must you be to want your guests to fight? And how quick was Alexia to turn on Lea when she greeted Ana? Minus 30.  Being polite doesn’t mean you’re being a hypocrite. Adriana has spun this whole marriage debacle so many times that I’m dizzy. From what I can figure, she had a legal ceremony but called off the church ceremony. But why not just say that? Why not admit that she and Frederic were married but separated? Minus 33 because I don’t think Adriana knows the truth herself anymore she’s told so many lies. In the end, I’m with Lisa. Staying at home and taking a romantic bubble bath with her husband was definitely the way to go. Plus 23. Was anyone else bored by The Real Housewives of Miami? Episode total = -74!                    Season total = -251!
