Gabby Douglas Gets A Makeover During Her Trip to NYC

Shouldn’t we be happy for Gabby? We just wish this exciting makeover, given by celebrity hairstylist Ted Gibson, wasn’t overshadowed by all of the negativity surrounding the Double-Gold Olympic Champion. Seems Gabby’s team put a plan in action once the star returned back to the states this week; one of her many stops was at Gibson’s salon: “I couldn’t believe it and still can’t,” Gibson, who has worked on the tresses of Anne Hathaway, Angelina Jolie, Kate Gosselin and Ashley Greene, told The Daily Beast on Wednesday about the criticism Douglas received over her slicked-back ponytail. “You have this young girl doing amazing things, and the conversation becomes about her hair? It was ridiculous and shameful.” Earlier this month, the pint-sized Team USA gymnast, who’s the first African American female to win the All-Around gold, shed some light on the trivial, tress-related matter. “They have no idea what they’re talking about,” she told Us Weekly. “We rotate from event to event so there’s no time for them to say ‘Representing the USA, Gabrielle Douglas’ and me to say ‘Yeah, thanks!’ as I’m brushing my hair. It’s so disrespectful! I’m not thinking about that. I’m thinking about bringing a gold medal home.” So on Tuesday, Gibson, who also lends his talents on What Not to Wear, worked his mane magic on the Virginia Beach native and gave her a hair makeover that the teen couldn’t stop gushing about: frizz-free, center-parted waves that fall a few inches below her shoulders. Gabby tweeted her excitement and thanks to Gibson afterwards: We’re all so proud of Gabby and her amazing triumphs in London. Hopefully this is the last time we have to talk about her hair! Lookin’ forward to seeing what’s in store for ya kid! Source Images via Twitter

Joe Biden: “Mitt Romney And The Republicans Are Going To Put Y’all Back In Chains!”

Joe always going to keep it a hunnid Vice President Biden has never been one to bite his tongue when it comes to his political opponents, especially Mitt Romney and his VP nominee, Paul Ryan. Speaking at a campaign event in Virginia on Tuesday, Biden told the Obama supporters that they have more to fear than just an attack on the middle class if Romney is elected, and that their very freedom is at stake: “Look at their budget, and what they are proposing,” Biden said. “Romney wants to let–he said in the first hundred days, he’s going to let the big banks once again write their own rules. Unchain Wall Street.” Biden then paused, and said, “they going to put y’all back in chains.” Many GOP members were quick to react to Biden’s remarks, making a racial connection between the vice president’s “chains” comment and slavery. Biden was speaking to a largely black crowd in the heart of Danville,Virginia; a city with a long history of racial tension. Although his language may seem extreme to some, historically, working class people have been enslaved by corporations, and big business is something “Money Makin” Mitt is very familiar with. Do you think Biden’s statements were too extreme or is he right? Source

Florida Crazies: Epitome Of A Bad Mom And Adult Son Caught Stealing Millions From Toys’RUs Stores!

Is it just us or has this Recession got people coming up with the craziest scams? A Mother/son duo got busted like a mug…for stealing over $2 million worth of toys and games from Toys R Us’ around the country! Michael and Margaret Pollara visited 139 Toys R Us in 27 states, including California, Hawaii and New York, buying nearly $7,000 worth of small-ticket items to fuel their scam, according to the affidavit. Authorities were able to track Michael Pollara’s purchases across the country because he used a Toys R Us rewards card for all of his purchases. Authorities said the Pollaras trolled stores looking for inexpensive toys that came in large boxes. They then emptied out the contents and filled the large box with more expensive toys, including $150 Lego sets and Leapster Pads, worth $99 apiece. The pair would hide the cheap contents somewhere around the store and pay for the inexpensive large box filled with more expensive goodies. Seventy-year-old Margaret Pollara often worked as a lookout, according to the arrest report. Authorities tracked the two for months, watching them allegedly steal from various stores around the state and later ship packages filled with toys. Michael Pollara, 46, had more than $900,000 in eBay and PayPal accounts, according to the report. An employee from a Southern Florida store reported a number of Lego sets had gone missing in one single day and tipped the police. Using his rewards card account number, police were able to find the two thieves. We don’t know what’s funnier; the fact that this fool used his rewards card for each purchase or that he just left all that money sitting in his PayPal account?? Source Images via Facebook/Twitter

Eff A Toddler Robbin’ Thug! Four-Year Old Cutie Has His Gold Bracelet Snatched Up!

Another dirty azz thief got a little kid in New York. Four-year old Robert Rendon and his 14-year old sister were targeted on their way home. Bling-toting pre-schoolers are proving easy prey for New York’s most cowardly crooks. A 4-year-old Bronx boy became the third toddler since July to lose fancy jewelry to a robber when a teenage thug grabbed a gold bracelet from his wrist, police sources told The Post yesterday. Robert Rendon was walking home with his 14-year-old big sister Jayleen at about 12:45 p.m. Aug. 3 after they’d visited their mother at work. Suddenly, they noticed they were being followed. Jayleen caught a glimpse of the suspect in the reflection of a car window. “He had his face covered . . . He was looking calm. I knew something was going to happen,” the teenager told The Post. The brother and sister ducked into the stairway of their apartment on East 182nd Street in Belmont. But their home proved no refuge — the teen thug barged through the door right behind them and grabbed Jayleen around the waist. “He tried to grab me — and then, he like, he tried to force me with him,” Jayleen said. Panicked, the girl screamed and ran upstairs to her apartment, where her grandmother was waiting. When she fled, Jayleen admitted, she left Robert behind. “I ran away — I let go of his [Robert’s] grip,” she said. The suspect called out to her — “he just kept saying, ‘Come here,’ ” Jayleen said. “My little brother was stuck on the first floor.” The children’s grandmother ran downstairs, and found Robert safe, but crying. It wasn’t until about 15 or 20 minutes later that they noticed Robert’s bracelet was missing. “My mom bought it for him for his first birthday,” Jayleen said. “It had his name engraved on it.” The next day, cops arrested 18-year-old Abubakarr Payinkay, of Claremont, and charged him with robbery, burglary, grand larceny, and other charges. He is free on personal recognizance bail. Robert was traumatized by the incident, his sister said. “He’s just scared about it. He doesn’t like doing anything anymore,” Jayleen said. She’s still pretty upset, too. “I’m scared,” Jayleen said. “I don’t like going out alone.” Other criminals too spineless to pick on people their own size ripped off two Brooklyn tots of their jewelry last month. Two-year-old Destiny Maizanche had a $300 bracelet stolen from her wrist in Bedford-Stuyvesant on July 6 by a thug who also grabbed a $400 necklace from her pregnant mom. Cops arrested 30-year-old Michael Andrews in the attack. Andrews allegedly targeted Destiny and her mother, Adriana Espinal, as they entered the elevator in a building on Flushing Avenue where the tot’s grandmother lives. Espinal said she fought back against the thug by hitting him with her set of keys. In another Bed-Stuy caper, 3-year-old Harvey Hernandez was robbed of a $400 neck chain in the lobby of his apartment on July 10 while he sat in a stroller pushed by his mom, Riyanna Guerrero. Harvey’s godparents gave him the chain for his baptism. It has a small medallion depicting hands holding a child. Days after the crime, Harvey was still afraid to go outside, his parents said. Can’t believe this thug got recognizance and that people out there are still snatching from little kids. Source Photo Credit: David Greene

Lawsuits: Toni Braxton Sued For Not Paying For Reality Show Advertisements

Pay yo bills Toni! Toni Braxton has had her fair share of financial troubles over the years. She’s landed in more financial hot water because she’s being sued by an advertising company for defaulting on payments for posters advertising her hit WEtv reality show Braxton Family Values. A company named National Promotions & Advertising went to L.A. County Superior Court to file a lawsuit against Toni Braxton and the rest of the producers of Braxton Family Values, alleging they had a contract with the show to promote the second season of the series. The ad company claims they posted 4,300 posters around the country and they were supposed to receive $57, 322.29 for their services. National Promotions & Advertising says they did their part and had all the posters up by November–right before the premiere of the second season. NPA also claims Braxton Family Values producers have yet to pay them their money. The ad company says they’ve tried repeatedly to get their money, but the attempts have been futile. NPA is suing for their original fee and they are looking to be paid for damages as well. Toni Braxton’s rep responded to the suit by saying his client has nothing to do with marketing budgets or payables for the series. The rep concluded by stating that WEtv handles those things. We hope Toni can get it together before the next season of Braxton Family Values! Source

In Her Own Words: Tameka Foster Releases Touching Personal Statement

Tameka Foster spoke out on her son’s death and the current custody court hearings for the first time today. To begin, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to the countless number of people who opened their hearts, extended their prayers, well-wishes and remained hopeful for my son Kile during the last weeks of his life. I truly believe that he has always been an Angel from birth and the World was just too small to contain a spirit so vast. I’m thankful and blessed to merely be the vessel that carried him and humbled that God gave him to us to love. I also feel humbled by everyone’s show of concern, and knowing that Kile Glover touched the lives of so many has given me strength during my worst & darkest hour … Again I THANK YOU ALL! Sadly, I remain in the unfortunate position of having to respond to and attend court proceedings that were not initiated or begun by me. I did not file this custody case (January 2011) and was content with the ‘joint custody’ arrangement that we share.  Most importantly, nor do I wish to appear in court while I am mourning the loss of my son. But I do not want to delay thus prolong these proceedings either; I’d rather continue this arduous process hoping it will help move me through this most difficult period in my life.  People seem to be privy to only my filed responses as ‘Defendant’ to the initiation of this case (Jan 4, 2011), when I have only been defending myself and protecting the best interests of my children through my counsel. I cannot control how the media reports are written/slanted/spun or even how court documents may be manipulated in their attribution of certain statements as if they are direct “quotes” from me- yet I can control what I actually say myself. This may sound really cliché but you must NOT believe everything you read or hear and never judge… especially without solid facts and always, but always consider the source. Discernment is key. My boys are my entire world and I will fight tooth and nail to keep all of my sons together as a family, I pray for a swift, peaceful resolution so that we all can move forward. Again, thank you for your concern, positive energy and hope for my family during this surreal time. There have been times when just the right words, at the right time, have provided me shelter through this storm and I appreciate you all. Please continue to keep us in your prayers. With Love & Light, Tameka Foster Raymond Her words are touching and we wish her our condolences once again. It’s a shame Usher even wants to proceed with the custody case. Why doesn’t he want her to have joint custody again? Twitter
