Duggar Family Prays For Nation’s "Wicked Ways" in Wake of Gay Marriage Ruling

As you’ve probably heard, the Supreme Court ruled in favor of nationwide gay marriage yesterday in a landmark decision that’s being celebrated in all 50 states. Countless celebrities have spoken out in favor of the SCOTUS decision , and president Obama hailed the ruling as a ” victory for America .” But not all public figures are pleased with yesterday’s developments. Just moments after the decision was announced, members of the famously conservative Duggar family made their feelings known with a Bible quote posted on their official Facebook page: “If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways,” the message reads. “Then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.” While the family has not addressed the court’s ruling directly, the timing and content of the above message leaves little doubt that this is the Duggars’ way of admonishing the justices who voted in favor of gay marriage and chastising the nation for its “wicked” ways. Many of the commenters on the Duggars’ post expressed support for the family and its views, while others accused the 19 Kids and Counting clan of hypocrisy for commenting on the sexual preferences so soon after news of the Josh Duggar molestation scandal  went public.

Courtney Stodden Sex Tape Numbers: Bigger Than Farrah Abraham?!

Courtney Stodden’s charity or charities of choice are about to receive a windfall if she’s serious about donating all the profits from her sex tape. The 20-year-old’s solo self-pleasure-a-thon is already demolishing records online according to Vivid Entertainment, which just released the video. How many strokes … er, streams are we talking? View Slideshow: 29 WTF?! Courtney Stodden Photos Vivid CEO Steve Hirsch says 10,000 new customers signed up on the entertainment company’s website to watch Courtney go to town. If 10,000 doesn’t sound like a lot, try this on for size: They paid $39.95 per person to do so. And that’s not even counting existing members. Add on 20,000 returning celebrity porn star fans and the Courtney Stodden sex tape grossed Vivid a staggering $1.2 million in just 24 hours. Not even two days in and Stodden’s already the most successful self-pleasure video star in the history of the iconic brand … sorry Octomom. Moreover, she’s on pace to break records for earnings overall; Farrah Abraham will have a tough time beating off her challenge at this rate. Remember, that’s only purchases. The company likely made some cash on ads, too, from the two million people who viewed the free trailer. Yes, you can see a five-minute preview on Vivid (dot) com if you want a sneak peek of the full version, which shows Courtney in all her glory. Her naked, bathtub glory … fellating an ice cream cone like there’s no tomorrow and then doing some things we can’t even type out right here. Come to think of it, the trailer should be enough for most to get the job done … no wonder only 0.5% of viewers needed the full-length edition. View Slideshow: 21 Celebrity Sex Tape Stars

Lindsay Lohan Flashes Bra During Community Service

Leave it to Lindsay Lohan to make community service into a viral event. The troubled actress (can we even call her that anymore?!?), who has been racing to complete her community service requirements lest she get sent back to prison, stopped by TLC Women’s Shelter in New York City Saturday morning. She was on hand to trim do some gardening and trim some edges.. but she wore an outfit that nearly showed off just how trim she keeps it. If you know what we mean… “Gardening #TLC women’s shelter,” Lindsay captioned the Instagram picture, which features the ex-felon donning a very revealing top. She added the hashtag “#Habibti” to her message. On May 7, Los Angeles Judge Mark Young told the star’s lawyer that he was upset that Lindsay had only completed about nine of her 125 hours of court-mandated community service. The punishment stems from Lohan’s 2012 car accident. Lohan has claimed she completed a lot of this service on Facebook , with her rep telling E! News that his client is doing all the court has asked of her: “Lindsay has shown and will continue to show a deep commitment to helping children. [She] is committed to satisfying the requirements of the court. View Slideshow: 17 Wackest Photos of Lindsay Lohan

Newlyweds Brittney Griner & Glory Johnson Each Suspended 7 Games For Slapping Each Other Up

Brittney Griner & Glory Johnson Suspended From WNBA Brittney Griner and Glory Johnson managed to move past their domestic dust-up last month, but it seems the WNBA hasn’t. The freshly married pair have each been slapped with a 7-game suspension from their respective team games — the longest ban in league history. Looks like the president really wants to set an example. Via ESPN : WNBA stars Brittney Griner and Glory Johnson were suspended seven games each Friday for their domestic violence arrest last month — the league’s longest ban in its 19-year history. WNBA president Laurel Richie said the league “takes all acts of violence extremely seriously” in handing down a suspension that represents nearly one-fifth of the 34-game regular season. Richie called the players’ actions “unacceptable.” “Brittney and Glory’s conduct is detrimental to the best interests of the WNBA and violates applicable law,” Richie said in a statement. “We also understand that people make mistakes, and that education and training are as important as imposing discipline.” “I have already learned a tremendous amount from this experience and am committed to improving myself and my marriage going forward,” Griner said in a statement. “I want to thank everyone for their support over these last few weeks. I realize I let down a lot of people who have been champions for me and I will support my teammates and our organization every day until I am back on the court. I am thankful for the opportunity to make positive changes and become a role model for others to do the same.” The WNBA said the two All-Stars must undergo individual counseling. If either fails to comply with that condition or those by the court, the league says it can revisit the case. Well that’s one way to set the precedent. Do you think the punishment was overkill or just enough? Instagram

Bobby Brown, Pat Houston Named Co-Guardians of Bobbi Kristina Brown

The legal future of Bobbi Kristina Brown’s care and medical needs will be decided by her father and her aunt, Bobby Brown and Pat Houston. Pat Houston and Cissy Houston’s counsel, David Long-Daniel, and Christopher Brown, counsel for Bobby Brown, confirmed in a statement: “We are delighted to inform the public that the court has appointed Bobby Brown and Pat Houston as co-guardians of Bobbi Kristina Brown (‘Krissi’).” From this day forward, “Both Mr. Brown and Ms. Houston are jointly responsible for decisions related to Krissi’s care and medical needs.” The decision comes three months after the only daughter of the late music icon Whitney Houston was discovered unresponsive in a bathtub. It also comes amid rumors regarding Bobby Brown fighting Whitney’s family over his daughter’s estate, believed to be worth eight figures. Whatever issues the families have seem to be settled … for now. Houston and Brown spent Thursday in court, where a conservator – a neutral party – was also selected on behalf of Bobbi Kristina, 22. The conservator represents the interests of a person who, for one reason or another, lacks the capacity to make decisions on their own. Attorney Bedelia Hargrove will be “responsible for Krissi’s assets, including her likeness, rights and legal claims,” continues the statement . “Both parties are delighted with the court’s decision and are working harmoniously to ensure Krissi receives the best possible medical care.” “We are appreciative of the manner in which Judge Jeryl Debra Rosh handled this matter,” the parties’ statement concluded on Friday. Bobbi Kristina remains on life support at an Atlanta-area rehab facility, where Bobby Brown and Pat Houston have been constant visitors. As for Bobbi Kristina’s estranged partner Nick Gordon , he is out of rehab and yearning to see his ailing lover, who he believes he can help. Good luck convincing Bobby and Pat to let you in the door, Nick. View Slideshow: Bobbi Kristina Brown: Through Good Times and Bad

Philly Woman Seeks Positive Change For Community And Runs For Magisterial District Judge!

Jacquelyn Carter Runs For Magisterial District Judge In Coatesville, PA Black women rock and one incredible example is a Coatesville, PA resident by the name of Jacquelyn Carter! The Pennsylvania resident is seeking to bring a brighter future to her community by running for Magisterial District Judge (MDJ) for Coatesville Wards 1, 3, 5 & Valley Township. Ms. Carter’s platform emphasizes that the criminal justice system is flawed in its approach to render fair and just decisions resulting in prison overcrowding, a backlog of cases that keeps members of our community in legal limbo, and does not allow you, the people, to understand the court process. The Magistrate hopeful created innovative community programs that have been the catalyst for educational change. The SAFE Program (Suspension Alternative For Education) was an out-of-school suspension program during the zero-tolerance policy era that resulted in a substantial amount of students becoming indefinitely suspended or expelled. The SAFE Program allowed students to remain current with their schoolwork, receive mentoring and tutoring, and breakfast and lunch. Another program that was launched, Our Returning Citizens Ministry (traditionally called Prison Ministry) allows people to visit men and women behind prison walls on a regular basis, serve as their advocates for basic human rights while incarcerated, and demonstrate to the men and women incarcerated that they are not forgotten. Ms. Carter adds that it has never been more important to elect a MDJ who can objectively hear and effectively decide cases, ensure rights to due process of the law, and empower you by explaining the court process. Therefore, if a time arises that you may need to attend a magisterial district court hearing, you can be empowered by knowing your rights. You can learn more about Jacquelyn Carter’s campaign as well as donate to bring impactful and positive change by clicking HERE . We wish Ms. Carter the best in her campaign, and hope she inspires more young African-American women to always strive for more to enrich their communities!

A Nigerian Woman Wants To Divorce Her Husband After Only One Week, And You’ll Never Guess Why…

Nigerian Wife Asks To Divorce Husband After One Week Because… A Nigerian woman has been married to her husband for only one week and is already running to the courts to get their union legally dissolved. The reason… his massive man-meat . Even though she was married once before and has given birth to three children… Aisha Dannupawa says she’s totally incapable of handling what her new husband Ali Maizinari is handing out in the bedroom . As she told the court, the very first time the two were intimate, she knew this was going to be an issue…but she completely tapped out later in the week once she realized that not even painkillers can ease the situation out. Via Nigeria’s Tribune : She told the court that “when he came, we had sex but the experience was a nightmare. Instead of enjoying the sex, it turned out to be something else because his penis was too big,” she told the court. She also told the court that after the experience, she took some medication, which was given to her by her mother. “I told my mother the experience but she told me to endure and that with time, I will be able to cope. She then gave me some drugs,’’ she added. According to her, “two days later when he came to visit me, we had sex again, but the experience was too much to bear. It was then I knew that I could not continue with the marriage because of the size of his penis.” The husband, Maizinari, did not deny what his wife said. He told the court that he was willing to divorce her but that she should pay back the dowry and all that he spent on her during the courtship. When he was asked to state the amount, Maizinari disclosed that what he expected from her was N60,000. In case you’re curious, that’s about $263.00. Sounds like she better figure out a way to take that peen or pay up…

Wendy Williams Says Black People Are Haters Who Won’t Let Iggy Be Great Because She’s White

Wendy Williams Defends Iggy Azalea Wendy Williams went in on Black haters who don’t want the oh-so-wonderful Iggy Azalea to dominate rap because she’s white. She says “her people” need to just get over it and let the Australian culture-vulture rap princess win. Wendy capes up for Iggy around the 6:30 mark . “Would guys stop with the Iggy Azalea?! How much hate do you guys have?!” “I want you all to leave her alone. I know who the haters are: my people…It seems like black people don’t want this girl to win because she’s white.” “You take over the radio. You can be heard on hip-hop stations, Top 40 stations. My father, who just turned 84, knows who Iggy Azalea is. The little goobers running around in nursery schools know who Iggy Azalea is..” “In other words, you’re a hater because she’s crossed over and she’s managed to make it. You’re a hater because she got herself what looks like a black girl’s butt and a black boyfriend, Nick Young. You need to stop that hate and get a life, haters.” Hmmm…now what any of that rant really has to do with Iggy’s inflated cakes looking like a soggy bag of nickels at that particular photo angle , we aren’t sure. But do you agree with Wendy?? YouTube
