Peyton Manning Throws Record-Tying 7 TD Passes In Season Opener Just when y’all thought it was time for good ole Peyton to call it quits…. Via Pro Football Talk: Peyton Manning matched an NFL record with seven touchdown passes in a single game as the Denver Broncos throttled the defending Super Bowl champion Ravens 49-27 in the league’s regular season opener. Manning joins a group of just six quarterbacks to have thrown for seven touchdowns in a game and is the first to do so since 1969. Sid Luckman (CHI, 1943), Adrian Burk (PHI, 1954), George Blanda (HOU, 1961), Y.A. Tittle (NYG, 1962) and Joe Kapp (MIN, 1969) are the only other quarterbacks to accomplish the feat. According to Randall Liu of the league’s communications staff, Manning joins Tittle as just the second to throw seven touchdowns without an interception. It was the third time in Manning’s career he had thrown for at least six touchdowns in a game and the first time since 2004. It’s just one game but Denver looks like their certainly belong as Super Bowl contenders. The Ravens look like a team searching for answers. It’s was a tough moment for you Ravens’ fans last night…how many of you are excited for football season??
Everyone’s favorite cousin Candice “Dice” Dixon had a moment to sit down with BOSSIP and chat about juggling life in the spotlight with education, her sexual orientation, dressing “like a woman,” and to dish on the infamous “Honey Nut Cheerios” comment made about her cousin LaLa Anthony earlier this year. BOSSIP: First, let’s talk Full Court Life. People always describe you all as “the positive Black show” on Vh1. Do you see that as a double-edged sword, since people tend to be more entertained by the hot messes? Absolutely. It is great that people see us as a “breath of fresh air” so to speak after watching several of the other shows. A lot of people come up to me and tell me “I watch this show with my kids. I can watch this show with my mother.” So it’s great that our show can reach all age groups since we are so family oriented and not focused on drama. But on the flip side, that [drama] is what people do want to see. They want to see the Love & Hip-Hops and the Basketball Wives and all the fighting. But luckily, we’ve been blessed enough for people to embrace our show and we can continue to be ourselves. What’s more, LaLa told Vh1 from jump that her show was not going to follow the “ratchet reality” trend the network is known so well for. When they approached my cousin she told them, “I’ll never have a show like that, because that’s not my life.” I’m a part of her life, Po is, and you see our dynamic, so her show will never be what the other shows are. And it’s great, because the network is able to give you diversity… My cousin [has creative control], because she’s executive producer. But pretty much, what you see is what you get with our show. We really show who we are. What about you? Do you think LaLa’s show is a much needed break from the all the table-shaking and drink-tossing that takes place on other Vh1 shows? Peep the rest of the interview after the flip.
Faded and fed up? Miley Cyrus must be sick of being called out for her melanin deficiency cuz homegirl kinda went off Monday night on Twitter. Homegirl posted a tweet letting the world know she’s well aware that she’s white and made sure to add a b***h in case y’all don’t believe how “surrious” she is… And if you thought she was going to delete the tweet, you thought wrong. Hit the flip for more tweets and Miley’s latest rapper remix. Continue reading →

French Woman Offers To Rent Breast-Milk To Gay Couples’ Babies A lot of burning questions here …read and then we’ll discuss after! Via Raw Story: A woman has posted an offer on a French website to breast-feed babies of homosexual male couples for 100 euros ($130) a day, stirring up media interest just weeks after a divisive same-sex marriage law was passed. The post, which the website said it verified as genuine and legal, reads: “I am a young mother in perfect health, a trained nurse of 29, and I am renting my breasts to milk-feed infants.” The offer, addressed to male homosexual couples who can marry legally in France since May, promises up to 10 breast-feeds a day. The woman is mobile and based near Paris, it says. Alexandre Woog, chief executive of the e-loue website where the offer appeared, said its staff had contacted the person and had no doubt about her identity and the seriousness of the proposal, nor the legality of the service proposed. “Our legal advisers are sure of this. It’s illegal in France to sell maternal milk but this is a person proposing a service, not selling the milk in flasks,” Woog told Reuters. While France has just joined more than a dozen countries to legalize marriage and adoption of children by same-sex couples, it does not permit surrogacy or assisted reproduction for gay and lesbian couples. Reuters was unable to independently confirm the authenticity of the French breast-feed offer or the identity of the person behind it, who said in response to queries via the website that many people had replied to the proposal. “I’ve received more than a dozen requests, but only half of them were serious. The rest were from perverts,” the poster of the offer, run like all adverts under a pseudonym, said in an exchange with Reuters. 1. So how many babies will she be able to breastfeed in a given day?? 2. How will she sterilize her nipples after jumping from baby to baby? 3. Will she come in the middle of the night when the babies wake up and need to be nurse?? 4. Since selling breastmilk is illegal – sounds like she won’t be able to pump for the babies in her absence. 5. $130 a day, though???? 6. Thoughts on this??? Shutterstock
