A couple of weeks ago, Kim Zolciak took a break from being absolutely ridiculous when her four-year-old son, Kash, was attacked by a dog . Kash required emergency surgery after the attack, and, like any mother would be, Kim was in an absolute state. The incident happened a little over two weeks ago now, and as she’s told us, poor little Kash is healing nicely . But Kim just gave us a new update, along with a photo of what the boy’s face looks like right now. And honestly, it’s one of the most pitiful things we’ve ever seen. Along with the photo, Kim wrote “Kash and our entire family want to Thank each and everyone of you for all your prayers!” “Kash has healed up incredibly and has perfect vision in his left eye. Stitches on his water line, and his eyeball was never touched! God is Good!” “We are so incredibly thankful and blessed,” she continued. “In no time he will heal up perfectly and you will never know this happened!” “So thankful to Dr. Joseph Williams (chief of plastic surgery) and Dr. Berland (Tomas Eye Group) their quick decisions and impeccable work doesn’t go unnoticed. THANK YOU.” Kim touchingly added “Kash has taught me so much through this experience. When life hands you lemons make Lemonade.” She also tacked on the hashtags “I Believe In Angels” and “God Is So Good.” What a wonderful update, right? Judging by the injuries we see in this photo, things could have obviously been so much worse — as Kim pointed out, he easily could have lost an eye. But, as she told us in her last update, “He will have no physical problems once he is fully healed and we are confident his mental and emotional state is healing back to its original state as well.” So much good news! Of course, Kim also took the opportunity to share a new photo of herself — the one above — after her latest update. For this one, she wrote “Happy, Thankful, and Blessed” — get it, because she’s sharing a selfie because she’s happy, not because she can’t bare to go without attention on herself for any substantial amount of time. Oh, Kim. We see you, girl. View Slideshow: Kim Zolciak Body Selfies
On May 21, it will be two years since the world learned that Josh Duggar molested five young girls , four of whom were his sisters. The actual crimes took place several years earlier, of course, but Josh’s parents assisted him in avoiding prosecution and keeping his predatory ways under wraps. At the time, it was widely believed that the Duggars’ stint as reality television stars had come to an end. Surely, it was thought, no public figures could recover from such a revolting scandal, and for a time, it seemed that the public was right. Advertisers began cutting ties with TLC en masse , and eventually the network read the writing on the wall and canceled 19 Kids and Counting , the show that made the Duggars famous. Amazingly, however, the Duggar PR machine kept on churning, and between the family’s tireless efforts and the cultish devotion of their most die hard fans, Jim Bob Duggar – the Kris Jenner of the Bible Belt – was eventually able to finagle a second series out of the network. Counting On premiered in March of 2016 on TLC, and this time around, the Duggars were bound by a new set of guidelines and restrictions: The network reportedly demanded that the show focus solely on the lives of the eldest Duggar daughters with no appearances by Jim Bob and Michelle. (That rule was violated almost immediately.) Most importantly, of course, TLC execs demanded that Josh Duggar never appear on the series. The family seemed to recognize the necessity of that rule, and they’ve gone to awkward lengths to keep Josh off camera . But the 29-year-old sexual predator still makes appearances on the Duggar family’s official Facebook page, and one recent throwback photo has prompted some troubling reactions from Counting On fanatics: The image is a “throwback” to 2003, around the time when Josh was subjecting his young sisters to his revolting advances. Bizarrely, it seemed to make some fans of the family nostalgic: “What a great picture!! What a great tree limb too!! It would be nice to see a new one!! Love you guys and hope to see the WHOLE family back on TV soon!!” commented one fan. “Miss the WHOLE family!” wrote another. The implication is quite clear, of course. Obviously, there’s a contingent of fans who believe the punishment of not being a television star anymore is too harsh for the crime of serial child molestation. Thankfully, however, there are those who recognize the severity of Josh’s misconduct and remain vocal in their belief that he and his parents got off much, much too easy: “I was like ‘oh nice photo’ and then I realized what those poor girls were probably going through and it started making me sick,” wrote one follower. “Back when they were getting touched over the clothes,” echoed another, referring to the Duggars’ argument that Josh’s crimes were less severe as he only groped his sisters “over the clothes.” It’s astonishing that the family has been given another chance at stardom after one of the most repugnant scandals in television history went public. What’s equally shocking as that there are many out there who believe Josh is the victim here. View Slideshow: Josh Duggar Sex Scandal Timeline: How His Family’s Empire Crumbled
Ruby Rose Talks Gender Reassignment And Being Victimized By Hate Crime Ruby Rose first captured the public’s attention as an androgynous inmate named Stella Carlin. Her masculine-feminine qualities had men and women drooling with lusty desires over the tattooed Bieber-esque actress, but that wasn’t always the case… In an Edit magazine interview, Rose describes a time when she was brutally beaten by men who didn’t know she was a woman Her friends were all male – girls made her nervous. And it was the girls who bullied her. At first it was because she was different, then at puberty, when she decided to “try the feminine thing” by wearing makeup and growing her hair, it was because they thought she was trying to steal their boyfriends – the result of still playing football with them. Then she came out as gay, and they bullied her for that, too: “‘First you want ourboyfriends, now you want us’ – that kind of thing. I couldn’t win.” In her frustration, Rose shaved her head, bound her chest and dressed as a boy again, hoping to be left alone. It’s a transformation she performed in her short film about gender-fluidity, Break Free, which went viral and won her the part in OITNB, but at the time it didn’t work out so happily. She took a beating from a couple of boys that put her in hospital.“They didn’t see me as a woman,” Incidents like this lead Ruby to believe that she was born into the wrong body, and she considered gender-reassignment surgery, but today she’s happy that she didn’t: “I’m a woman,” she says. “I want to have babies one day, so I’m glad I didn’t make changes earlier in my life.” Crazy to think that the solution to not getting your a$$ kicked by homophobes is to have gender reassignment surgery. THAT’s how bad it is for those living under that type of fear. Image via Instagram

On Wednesday night, Ellen DeGeneres was honored at the 2017 People's Choice Awards with her record 20th trophy at the event. Fast forward to the following morning, however, and Ellen was on the set of her talk show, sitting in her regular chair, acting as the one doing the honoring. And, in the following clip from Ellen , the subject of this honoring was President Barack Obama. “This is the last day that Barack Obama will be our president,” the comedian told her audience. She then continued, explaining in detail the kind of impact Obama and his wife have had on her journey over the past eight years. “I want to thank him for changing my life,”the 58-year old said. “I am a legally married woman because of him and so is my wife. His courage and compassion created equality for everyone. He moved us forward and made more happen in the past eight years than I ever dreamed possible. I love him, I love Michelle.” Back in 2010, DeGeneres said that she she and De Rossi would exchange vows after the ban on same-sex marriage in California was lifted. In June 2015, the Supreme Court legalized same-sex marriage for couples across all 50 states. Over their years in office, both Obamas made multiple appearances on Ellen , with DeGeneres sharing some of her favorite clips of the couple with her viewers. Check out the tribute below:
Wait a pancake-flippin minute, IHOP! What just happened?!? Based on a Tweet that's gone viral, the breakfast-themed restaurant just slammed the heck out of millions of Hillary Clinton voters. What did the chain say/do on social media to give this strong impression? And how is it trying to finagle its way out of this scandal? Read on. Find out! 1. Good Morning… and Eff You! Excuse us, IHOP? This controversy started after the chain’s official Twitter account very clearly re-Tweeted a message from someone who thinks Clinton fans need to shut up, get over their bitter feelings and pretty much try do their part to #MAGA. 2. Prepare for That Pink Slip! As proven here (and in the messages below), this re-Tweet did not go unnoticed. 3. We Were Hacked! Yes, IHOP used the old “We were hacked!” excuse. We’d love to meet the hacker who decided that it would be worthwhile to break into IHOP’s Twitter account, only to re-Tweet a single anti-Hillary message. 4. Can You Smell It, Twitterverse? Smells like some prime BS, doesn’t it? 5. We Have So Many Questions Or, really, just one question. 6. The Cover-Up is Always Worse Than the Crime Someday, people may understand this. View Slideshow
