Many moons ago, when I was pregnant teenager and totally clueless about how the world works, I gave my daughter what is now considered an ethnic name. My concern is that I may have possibly given her a name that is deemed ghetto. I have to wonder if giving her this unconventional name, have I set her up for another unnecessary stigma? I would hope not, but given the reality of racial bias in this country, it does concern me. More … Continue reading →

Cold world. Don’t expect Jessica Simpson’s dad to walk her down the aisle when she finally weds her baby daddy, fiancé Eric Johnson. According to National Enquirer reports : JESSICA SIMPSON has banned her father Joe from her wedding because she’s afraid he’ll cause an embarrassing scene! The “Dukes of Hazzard” star – who’s planning to head down the aisle with ex-football player Eric Johnson – has been at odds with her dad/ manager since he and her mom, Tina, divorced this past spring after 34 years of marriage. Last year, The ENQUIRER revealed the Simpson clan was rocked by Joe’s confession that he was gay. And in our Nov. 12, 2012, issue, gay escort Joey Anderson revealed steamy details about the night Joe paid him $600 for sex at a New York City hotel. Complicating his relationship with his daughter even further, Joe, 55, walked away from the divorce with a chunk of the profits from Jessica’s billion-dollar fashion line, which is co-owned by Tina. “Jessica’s relationship with her father has deteriorated so much she doesn’t want him at her wedding,” said a source. “She’s afraid he’ll make a spectacle of himself, or worse yet, start something with Tina. “Jessica still loves Joe, but she wants the day to be about her and Eric, not some sideshow with her dad.” Jessica, 33, and Eric, 34, have put their wedding plans on hold several times over the past few years, in part due to Jessica’s pregnancies with daughter Maxwell, now 17 months, and 4-month-old son Ace. Another friend says Jessica has already told Joe he won’t be invited to the nuptials, which will likely take place next year. “Joe was devastated,” the friend noted. “But his relationship with Jess is hanging by a thread, and he doesn’t want to rock the boat any further. So he’s not making a big deal about it.” Do you believe it? It seems extreme but this kind of estrangement happens a lot with bad divorces. We hope for Jessica’s kids’ sake that she’s able to work things out with her dad and have him there. WENN
He had to watch his son burn and they shocked him…. people ain’t isht. Police Shock Man To Stop Him From Saving Son They could have asked the man to fall back while they tried to save his son. This was extreme. According to Raw Story: Relatives say police officers used a stun gun repeatedly on a Missouri man to prevent him from going into his burning home to save his 3-year-old son. Firefighters were called just after midnight Thursday to the fire in Louisiana, Missouri, after Ryan and Cathy Miller awoke to find smoke in the recreation room where they’d fallen asleep watching television. They were able to escape through a rear door and call 911, but the boy, Riley Miller, was still in his bedroom. Ryan Miller tried to go back into the burning building to rescue his stepson, but police officers shocked him with a taser three times to keep him from going inside. The boy was later pronounced dead from injuries he suffered in the fire, which investigators said was sparked by a faulty electrical circuit. Family members said they were outraged by the officers’ actions. “It’s just heartless. How could they be so heartless? And while they all just stood around and waited for the fire department, what kind of police officer wouldn’t try and save a 3-year-old burning in a house?” said sister-in-law Emily Miller. Authorities said a firefighter in full protective gear tried to go inside, but the flames were too hot. The boy was found near the doorway from his bedroom to the front living room, investigators said. Another son was not home at the time of the fire. This is so sad. They just stood around and watched the boy die. We smell an investigation and somebody’s azz needs to be fired. Shutterstock
Chilli goes IN about Left Eye’s sister, Usher, Pebble’s daughter and more Chilli Reveals Why Usher Wasn’t Included In TLC Biopic The TLC Biopic did massive numbers and had a mostly favorable response from viewers, but there’s also been some highly-publicized backlash from TLC’s former manager Pebbles in the midst of all the praise. Both TLC and Pebbles have been very vocal about their thoughts on the movie and Chilli recently spoke with The Jasmine Brand about the l atest shade from Pebbles’ daughter while also addressing the widely-asked question of why Usher was left out of the biopic. Check out a few interview excerpts below: On criticism from Pebble’s Daughter: You know what? I don’t know – To be honest with you – I’ve been so caught up in thanking God with the blessings; with the success of this film. All the other stuff or half of the stuff that I don’t see – I’ll hear about it like from you or someone’s going to say something to me. We just felt we put out our relationship with her because that’s who we had the relationships with, that’s who we had those experiences with was Pebbles; not her children. And we’ve always had love for them – I’ve known them since they were babies. They were little so they weren’t even able to comprehend what was going on between us and their mom because they were children. So I don’t know. I really don’t have anything to say about the kids or anything like that, besides the fact that I hope they’re doing well and understand them being upset because everybody loves their mom. You just love your mother. But at the same time, at the end of the day, this is what happened between TLC and her. We didn’t make up these things. We just did not. Why would we do that? It seems like most of the general public is riding with TLC’s side of the story on this one. Who do you believe in all of this, Bossip fam? Chilli also gave a detailed response to Usher being left out of the biopic and clapped back at Lisa’s sister Reigndrop, accusing her of being attention-thirsty. Hit the flip to hear what she had to say.
Pauly, these baby mamas don’t play. Pauly D’s Baby Mama Won’t Let Him See Baby Unsupervised He did initially deny the baby then wanted to be guido father of the year…obviously his baby mama is still a little salty. According to TMZ reports: Pauly D has just been REJECTED by his baby mama … who says she will NOT let him visit his 5-month old daughter unsupervised. Pauly’s lawyer sent a letter to Amanda Markert’s attorney, requesting that Pauly get visitation of the little girl, Amabella, for 2 weeks beginning today. TMZ has learned … Markert’s lawyer told Pauly’s mouthpiece to pound sand, saying Pauly cannot take the baby unsupervised for that period of time. So it seems she might be open to visitation if she or someone else she chooses is present. Our sources say Pauly D’s lawyer has agreed to supervised visitation but now all they’re getting is radio silence. Pauly’s rep tells us, “Paul and his entire family are eager to meet and spend time with Paul’s daughter. Paul has been requesting visitation for quite some time now, but his requests have either gone unresponded to or denied. He and his family are committed to being a significant part of his daughter’s life and are excited to make that a reality. ” We bet if Pauly gives up some of that leftover “Jersey Shore” gwap, she’ll fork over that baby.

Pauly D’s first attempt to visit his infant daughter has been denied by baby mama Amanda Markert, who will not let him see the five-month-old girl unsupervised. The Jersey Shore star’s lawyer sent a letter to Markert’s attorney, requesting that Pauly get visitation of the girl, Amabella, for two weeks starting today. Not happening. Markert’s lawyer told Pauly D’s rep to go kick rocks, saying bluntly that the 33-year-old dad may not take the baby unsupervised for that period of time. She may be open to visitation if she or someone of her choosing is present … which Pauly D’s side is open to, but is now getting the silent treatment. Pauly’s rep said in response to the ongoing custody battle: “Paul and his entire family are eager to meet and spend time with Paul’s daughter.” “Paul has been requesting visitation for quite some time now,” the rep added, “but his requests have either gone unresponded to or denied.” The Jersey Shore alum and his family “are committed to being a significant part of his daughter’s life and are excited to make that a reality. ” Here’s hoping Amanda Markert gives him the opportunity and isn’t just trying to milk this for her own gain and use Amabella as a lotto ticket .

Ain’t isht mamas are a worldwide phenomenon. According to NY Daily News reports : A Colombian mother has been busted pimping out her 12 young daughters after selling their virginities for just $200 each, police said. Margarita de Jesus Zapata Moreno, 45, was detained in Bogota earlier this week after one of her girls, now 16 and pregnant, contacted police. The teen was reportedly angry after her mother ordered her to abort her child. Tito Cornelio Daza, 51, allegedly the baby’s father, was also arrested. Univision reports that Moreno, who has a total of 14 children, would sell their virginities once they turned 12 years old. She would then allegedly force them to prostitute themselves to pay the bills. “It hurts that a mother would do this,” police Chief Carlos Melendez, investigating the case, told reporters. “The mother contacted highly solvent but depraved men so they could have sex with the minors when they turned 12,” he added. Moreno, who has denied the allegations, faces 10 years in prison if convicted. She currently remains at El Buen Pastro prison, while Daza is being held at Modelo Prison. Both are accused of carnal abuse of a minor under 14, and the enforcement of prostitution. Moreno’s two children not subjected to the sex work, a boy of 11 and a girl of 9, are reportedly in the care of social services. The daughter who reported her mother is now receiving psychological help from the Colombian Family Welfare Institute. SMH. Too bad it took abortion threats to get this girl to turn her mom in. Maybe if one of the older girls had said something sooner it could have prevented the younger sisters from being exploited. Our thoughts and prayers are with those kids.
