One Wish: Woman Who Died From Cancer Had Her Brain Frozen Before Passing Away In Hopes To Be Brought Back To Life Once A Cure Is Found

Dying Woman Has Her Brain Frozen And Hopes To Be Re-Born Once Cancer Cure Is Found Cancer is a horrible disease that continues to claim the lives so many so suddenly, and it’s no uncommon for family members of those stricken with the fatal illness to do all they can to grant their love one last wishes once it’s determined that nothing else can be done. But the last wish of this 23-year-old has got to be a first…. via Fox News It seems like the stuff of science fiction, a dying young woman decides she wants to be frozen after her death until a cure is found for brain cancer. But for the family of Kim Suozzi, 23, it’s not fiction. “I worked real hard on reconciling it with my personal faith and trying to be okay with it, and I am okay with it,” said Jane Suozzi, Kim’s mother, who lives in Ballwin. For the final two years of her life, Kim knew she was dying of an aggressive brain cancer called Glioblastoma multiforme. But even before the diagnosis, she considered the idea of being cryopreserved someday. Kim’s decision to be frozen after death is based on the hope science will someday find a way to bring her back to life after finding a cure for cancer. Kim spent the final two weeks of her life at a hospice in Scottsdale, Arizona, so she could die in the same city as Alcor Life Extension, the cryopreservation facility she chose. She passed away peacefully on January 17. Kim was also able to raise $7,000 before she passed to contribute to the high cost of  having her remains preserved as she’d asked.  This story is crazy hell and remarkable all at once. Would you grant this wish for your close friend or family member? Photo Credit: Fox 2 Now/ Shuttesrtock

First World Problems: Fans Cry ‘Fowl’ Over Chicken Wing Shortage Just Days Before This Year’s Super Bowl

NOT THE CHICKEN!!!!!! Chicken Wing Shortage Strikes Days Before Super Bowl With less than two weeks to go before the big game , football fans may find it a bit harder to find their favorite Super Bowl snack. Via Fox News reports: The National Chicken Council released a report that said the demand for wings this year is at “an all-time high” due to decreased wing production caused by the high cost of corn and feed prices. Wings are currently the highest priced portion of a chicken and cost $2.11 a pound in the Northeast, up 12 percent from last year. The organization has lowered the estimated number of wings to be consumed during Super Bowl weekend to 1.23 billion wing segments, 12.3 million less than last year. hat’s about 1 percent, says the council. “Chicken companies produced about 1 percent fewer birds last year, due in large part to record high corn and feed prices,” Bill Roenigk, chief economist and market analyst at the Washington, D.C.-based National Chicken Council said in a release. “Corn makes up more than two-thirds of chicken feed and corn prices hit an all-time high in 2012, due to two reasons: last summer’s drought and pressure from a federal government requirement that mandates 40 percent of our corn crop be turned into fuel in the form of ethanol. Simply put, less corn equals higher feed costs, which means fewer birds produced.” To give you a picture of just how many wings fan will chow down on, The National Chicken Council says if those 1.23 billion chicken wing segments were laid end to end, they would stretch between the San Francisco 49ers Candlestick Park and the Baltimore Ravens M&T Bank Stadium 27 times. The chicken! NOT THE CHICKEN WANGS?!? WHAT IS WE GON’ DO?? So, yeah, through your sobbing, you better order your wings now. Because soon, those delicious spicy snacks will be used as American currency, and vast stretches of the United States will be ruled by chicken totin’ warlords. Protect the chicken! Only one man can do something about this chicken wing shortage…

For The Stans: BeyBey And Her Artsy Fartsy Fashion Style Are Headed To A Store Near You! [Photos]

Beyonce for H&M? Beyonce’s Photoshoot For New H&M Clothing Line Stans have been abuzz ever since images of Beyoncé on the set of what appears to be a photo shoot in the Bahamas emerged early Thursday morning. Beyoncé was spotted on the set of a photo shoot in the Bahamas a few days ago wearing a colorful outfit and flower in her hair that was also leaked online. That picture is said to be part of an ad campaign for H&M. Via People Magazine reports: In the snaps, the superstar is seen sitting in a pink beach chair wearing a tropical-print bustier, a yellow flower in her hair and a red lip (left) — and fans are convinced it’s for an upcoming H&M ad. Here’s why: Reportedly, one of Beyoncé’s dancers Tweeted: “First day of trial in the Bahamas! H&M all set … go,” E! Online’s Latin America outlet shares. (The Tweet has since been deleted.) PEOPLE reached out to H&M for comment, but a representative for the brand would neither confirm nor deny anything. We’re crossing our fingers that it’s true since this would be something of a style match made in heaven; after all, Bey is one of our favorite fashion-forward stars and H&M is one of our favorite affordable retailers. And are we the only ones who think that the singer’s latest looks on Instagram have a bit of an H&M-esque vibe? Instagram/Tumblr/Peopple/Facebook

Shots Fired: Jamie Foxx Calls Spike Lee ‘Shady’ And A ‘Hater’ For Criticizing Tyler Perry, Whoopi Goldberg And Django Unchained!

Jamie Foxx calls Spike Lee out! Jamie Foxx Calls Out Spike Lee For Comments About Django Unchained During an interview with the The Guardian, the ‘Django unchained’ star, Jamie Foxx, gave his opinion of Spike Lee, calling the 55-year-old director “shady” and “irresponsible.” Via The Grio reports: “The question for me is: where’s Spike Lee coming from?” Foxx said. “He didn’t like Whoopi Goldberg, he doesn’t like Tyler Perry, he doesn’t like anybody, I think he’s sort of run his course. I mean, I respect Spike, he’s a fantastic director. But he gets a little shady when he’s taking shots at his colleagues without looking at the work. To me, that’s irresponsible.” In recent weeks Django Unchained has faced criticism for its use of racist language, specifically the n-word which is uttered roughly 110 times. Lee claims the film is “disrespectful to my ancestors” and has refused to see it on principle. “American slavery,” he later tweeted, “was not a Sergio Leone spaghetti western. It Was A Holocaust. My Ancestors Are Slaves. Stolen From Africa. I Will Honor Them.” Former 2 Live Crew member Luther Campbell called Lee an “Uncle Tom,” and Dick Gregory, the legendary activist and comedian also lashed out at Lee referring to him as a “thug” and a “punk.” Is it fair to give Spike Lee the ho sit down?

The Struggle: Shawty Lo Allegedly Arrested In Atlanta For Failure To Pay Child Support On His 11 Children By 10 Women

Guess he needed that reality show more than we thought… Shawty Lo Arrested In Atlanta Via News One reports: First Atlanta rapper, Shawty Lo, real name Carlos Walker, was told that his controversial ‘Oxygen’ show, ‘All My Babies Mamas,’ was being cancelled; then he begged fans to sign a petition on Change.org asking the network to reconsider airing the show and now, according to various reports, the rapper has been arrested for failure to pay child support. Shawty Lo even took it to twitter to brag about how quickly he was released from jail: Wat dey thought!!! Dey den get a chance 2do da paper work!!! #CashBond we fina go turn da city up stuntman instagr.am/p/UpwDzFTKa4/ — SHAWTY LO (@THATSSHAWTYLO) January 19, 2013 Most people opposed to the show questioned the rapper’s ability to take care of 11 children, but he continued to claim that he not only supports them financially, but emotionally, as well. Hopefully, it’s not a child support issue; but whatever it is most certainly isn’t a good example for his children. Not so fast! Looks like Shawty Lo was just pulling a PUBLICITY STUNT to gain attention for his failed reality show! UPDATE: Via HipHopEnquirer reports: After doing our own independent investigation into the matter and speaking with sources from Shawty Lo’s camp, we found out he was actually NOT ARRESTED due to failure of child support payment or anything for that matter.It all started when a picture surfaced on the internet Friday night of Shawty Lo being handcuffed by a City of Atlanta police officer. HHE spoke exclusively with Shawty Lo’s manger, Johnie Cabbell who stated that the picture is just a scene from the video shoot of an upcoming single.While speaking to his manager was only part of our investigation, we examined the actual photo of his purported arrest and determined that the cop wearing the uniform had an “Atlanta Police” emblem on the shoulder. All Atlanta police arrests falls in the County of Fulton. We contacted the Fulton County Sheriff’s Department and verified Carlos Walker alias Rico didn’t have any arrests since 2010 and it was not for child support. Do you think Shawty Lo’s show should still be on TV? Instagram

Babysitters Club: NYU Student Angry Over School Policy That Allows Her Roomate’s 4-Year-Old To Live In Their Dorm Room

NYU Student Complains About Having To Share Dorm Room With Roommate’s Toddler A third-year NYU student is having a hard time coping with the fact that the University’s housing policy allows her roommate’s 4-year-old child to live in the dorm room for an extended period of time. While she says she doesn’t have any beef with her child bearing-roomie, she says she also wasn’t prepared to be rooming with a toddler. via Huffington Post Shasten Snellgroves, a junior at New York University, was stunned that she was made to share her downtown dorm room with a toddler. In an email to the Huffington Post, The Media, Culture and Communications major complained, “You can imagine my shock at the revelation that my new roommate for the spring semester is the mother of a four-year-old, and that according to NYU Housing, the child is allowed to stay overnight for a maximum of six nights per month in accordance with the guest policy.” NYU’s policy applies equally to guests of any age, and Snellgroves points out that her roommate’s child could occupy the room as a short-term guest every day so long as her child doesn’t stay overnight. She said she has no problem with her roommate and is sympathetic to her roommate’s situation. She simply doesn’t see why she’s facing consequences related to her roommate’s “life decisions” or why NYU’s housing policies shouldn’t change. The student also points out that she pays $8,340 in tuition, room and board per semester for the on campus housing and would not have entered into the contract if she knew she’d be rooming with a child. Room, board……and babies? Aint nobody got TIME for that. Image via Shutterstock

Chit Chatter: Jennifer Aniston Goes To Bat For Kimmy Cakes Freaky Flick Claim To Fame – “There’s Nothing Wrong With That”

Jennifer Aniston Defends Kim Kardashian’s Reputation 40-year-old Hollyweird hard body Jennifer Aniston has become known for her serial dating relationship escapades ever since the break up heard around the world when her ex-hubby Bradd Pitt dirty-dogged her for Angelina Jolie, so she’s no stranger to slander from the public. So much so that it’s not that surprising to hear the former Mrs. Pitt admit that when it comes to Kimmy Cakes breaking into the limelight following her freaky flick, Jen says she’s not one to throw shade on the hustle. via THG It looks like Kim Kardashian has a fan in Jennifer Aniston. Sort of. In the upcoming documentary $ellebrity – which chronicles the lives of celebrities on and off camera – the former Friends star is asked about the pregnant reality star and gives a surprising response: “There’s nothing wrong with Kim Kardashian and all those people. If that’s how they choose to make a living, more power to them.” “My line of work is just different,” the actress. “I want to entertain people.” Hmmm. What say you Bossipers? Do you think Kimmy and others who rose to fame by flaunting their cakes on and off camera all over reality tv on should be able to get their gwap in peace without being judged? Or is slander a fair price to pay for having slorebag beginnings?
