Goodbye, Adam’s Apple. Hello, hair plugs. Farewell, penis? Yes, Bruce Jenner is undergoing a number of change these days – starting with his status as a single man, following his separation from Kris Jenner – but sources continues to insist that a sex change will not be among them. Really. Didn’t you hear? Bruce Jenner sex change rumors have been making the rounds for weeks now. “[Bruce is] going through a tough time, with the divorce and everything else,” an insider tells HollywoodLife, adding that the reality star wants folks to “mind their own business” when it comes to that sex change chatter. Jenner has kept a relatively low profile since splitting from his wife, with paparazzi typically needing to visit the golf course in order to get a glimpse of him. What’s going on with the ex-Olympian? Nothing special, this source concludes. “For sure [Bruce] is finding himself right now. That’s all he has to say when he’s asked.” Well, we wish him the best of luck in that endeavor and we’re gonna go laugh at his family’s antics when we watch Keeping Up with the Kardashians Season 9 online at TV Fanatic.
Tom Brokaw, one of the most respected journalists on television and the former anchor of the NBC Nightly News, has been diagnosed with cancer. The 74-year-old – who works as a NBC News Special Correspondent – revealed his health issues in a note today, insisting that physicians are encouraged with his medical treatment to date. “With the exceptional support of my family, medical team and friends, I am very optimistic about the future and look forward to continuing my life, my work and adventures still to come,” Brokaw said via statement. “I remain the luckiest guy I know.” To be specific, Brokaw was diagnosed with multiple myeloma (a cancer that affects cells in the bone marrow) in August at the Mayo Clinic. He has has continued to work since then on NBC News projects and has made appearances on the Today show, Nightly News With Brian Williams and Meet the Press. “I am very grateful for the interest in my condition but I also hope everyone understands I wish to keep this a private matter,” Brokaw concluded. We wish him a full recovery.

Some people have too much time on their hands. Man Gets Stuck In Washing Machine While Playing Practical Joke We bet the isht stopped being funny when his stupid azz wouldn’t budge. According to ABC News: A nekked Australian man who became stuck in a washing machine as part of an ill-planned practical joke was freed from the appliance with the help of an unusual rescue device: olive oil. The 20-year-old man, identified only as “Laurence,” told Australia’s Fairfax Radio that he was on his way to take a shower on Saturday when he decided to climb into the top-loader to have a bit of fun. The fun quickly evaporated, however, when he realized he couldn’t budge. He called out to his friend for help, who rang the police. They responded to the scene, along with firefighters, paramedics and a search and rescue squad. “He was very well wedged in there and we were concerned for his health and well-being,” Shepparton police Sgt. Michelle De Araugo told the Shepparton News. “It was just a game gone wrong. It would be fair to say the gentleman was very embarrassed.” Rescuers tried in vain to pull Laurence from the machine. But when it became clear he was seriously stuck, they grabbed a bottle of his favorite olive oil to help lubricate his escape. The oil worked, and he popped out. “I was quite disappointed they used my good olive oil,” Laurence told Fairfax Radio. “As soon as the washing machine went on its side, it was a bit like a birthing.” No sir, this was nothing like birthing. Unless you spent 9 months in that washing machine and got circumcised when you finally escaped, then no, it’s was nothing like birth. Shutterstock
What baby daddy drama ? Black Fathers Are Just As Involved With Their Kids As Other Races Via LA Times reports: Defying enduring stereotypes about black fatherhood, a federal survey of American parents shows that by most measures, black fathers who live with their children are just as involved as other dads who live with their kids — or more so. For instance, among fathers who lived with young children, 70% of black dads said they bathed, diapered or dressed those kids every day, compared with 60% of white fathers and 45% of Latino fathers, according to a report released Friday by the National Center for Health Statistics. Nearly 35% of black fathers who lived with their young children said they read to them daily, compared with 30% of white dads and 22% of Latino dads. The report was based on a federal survey that included more than 3,900 fathers between 2006 and 2010 — a trove of data seen as the gold standard for studying fatherhood in the United States. In many cases, the differences between black fathers and those of other races were not statistically significant, researchers said. The findings echo earlier studies that counter simple stereotypes characterizing black fathers as missing in action. When it comes to fathers who live with their kids, “blacks look a lot like everyone else,” said Gretchen Livingston, a senior researcher at the Pew Research Center who has previously studied the topic. And in light of the negative stereotypes about black fathers, “that is a story in itself.” “People think they don’t care, but we know they do,” said Joseph Jones, president of the Center for Urban Families, a Baltimore advocacy group that works with African American fathers. “We see how dads are fighting against the odds to be engaged in the lives of their children.” Sit down haters! Black dads are taking care of their responsibilities like any other race!
Finally, Robin is making the money she deserves. Robin Roberts Signs Lucrative ABC Contract With all the health problems Robin has had to deal with, it is nice to see her win. According to Page Six reports: “Good Morning America” anchor Robin Roberts has quietly closed a long-term contract with ABC, multiple sources tell Page Six, and speculate that it’s worth between $13 million and $14 million a year. ABC reps declined to discuss the value of the deal — or even if one has been signed. However, a source close to the network insisted the pact is only in the “high-seven figures,” or just less than $10 million. “Over a month ago, they quietly inked a new, long-term, very high seven-figure deal with Robin that will keep [her] at the company for years to come . . . it was a friendly negotiation,” said an insider. “Robin’s been [at ABC News] for over 20 years . . . and will be a leader there for a very long time to come.” The source said that Roberts — who was on leave for six months after a bone marrow transplant — “was extremely grateful for the kindness and love shown by everyone while she was sick. “She made it clear to her reps that she wanted them to drive a fair deal but didn’t want to create any kind of bidding war,” our source said. Congrats Robin! This raise is well deserved.
Dear Bossip , I’ve been with my husband for almost 8 years now and for almost 2 of those years we have been married. We also have 2 children together. Either right before or right after our wedding day my husband cheated with a woman from his past and a baby came of it exactly 9 months into our marriage. This woman is still in love with my husband, and always has been willing to do anything to have him. She and I have had many run-ins before we got married, so we don’t get along at all. The baby recently turned 1-year old and she went out of her way to have a birthday party at my husband’s family house. She wouldn’t allow separate parties. She said if my husband had his own party she would come to that also. I wasn’t even informed about the party until the day before, so I hardly had any time to prepare myself mentally and emotionally. It was humiliating for me to have to be at this child’s party with her walking around also. My husband lets this woman run all over him and she does whatever she wants, and it makes me feel like I’m overreacting. I (his wife) should not be put in situations like that. He acts as if he doesn’t see what she’s doing. I’m on the verge of filing for divorce. I’m tired of the drama, hurt & pain I’ve had to go through because of my husband’s selfishness. What should I do? – Another Woman In Our Marriage Dear Ms. Another Woman In Our Marriage , Divorce! Divorce! Divorce! I’ll be damned if I would sit up and marry a man who cheated right before or right after our wedding and produced a baby. So, the first nine months of your marriage you are dealing with another woman carrying your husband’s baby. Yet, you stayed and figured what? She would move on and out of your lives? You and your husband would live happily ever after? SMDH! And, he knew you had run-ins with her before you got married, yet, he cheated with her. The woman you don’t get along with? Welp! She can have him. Why did, or do you stay? What are you getting out of it? There has to be some reason you are staying, or there is something you are trying to prove. Is it because you were together 6 years prior to marrying him, and you feel you’ve made an investment in him. You got him to where you needed him to be, and you’ve dealt with his infidelities before, so, you figured if he married he would straighten out? Uhm, Ms. Honey, that didn’t work, now did it? The man cheated right before or right after your wedding. He is a low-down scum dirty rat bastard. He is not a man. He is a child. He is hoe, a trifling crusty d**k piece of –ish. Your man had unprotected sex with this woman, and she is not the first or last, and then he came home and had unprotected sex with you. Think about that. Let that marinate in your thick a** skull. The man you’ve been with for nearly 8 years has raw sex with women with no regard for his health, his safety, or your health or your safety. Think about that. Let it stir in your head. He is going in women RAW, doing lawd knows what with them, and then you are letting him lay in your bed at night. He is up under you in the bed acting as if nothing has happened. Please let that sink in, and marinate under that polyester wig. Ma’am cut your loses, divorce his a**, collect alimony, and put him on child support. Ain’t no way I would stick around and deal with him, or her shenanigans for the next 18 years, and especially if he wants to act like he doesn’t see what she’s doing. Uhm, no ma’am. He can act stupid and dumb all he want, but it shouldn’t be with you. You are not ignorant to her ways and what’s she’s up to. A fool you are not! Then, on top of it all, she had the nerve to throw the child a birthday party at your husband’s family house, and they let her?!?! What type of hood ghetto –ish is that? I would have shut all that down! You can try to be the bigger woman all you want, but why the hell would you go and torment yourself by sitting there, at your husband’s family house, entertaining a woman who wants to flaunt your husband’s child around, acting like she is the Queen B. You sitting there all humiliated, and sad. Chile, I would have snatched her up, and drug her all through that house, backyard, and up the street. Then, served his a** with the divorce papers! Ain’t no way you should have allowed your husband to agree to that bull-ish, and he should have told his family to not entertain that mess. But, like you said, your husband wants to play dumb, and stupid. I feel that he likes this drama. He is enjoying this. He is benefiting from this. How? He has two women in his life fighting over him. You’re both competing and vying for his attention. She will do anything to get under his skin, and he enjoys it. You complain, yell, and scream, and demand that he treats you like his wife, and stop disrespecting you. And, he gets a kick out of this. You and the other woman are treating him just like he wants to be treated, like a little as boy. He is not a man, and will never be a man. So, let them two ratchet birds have one another. It’s not worth it to stay. It’s not worth it have to deal with this for the next 18 years of your life because trust and believe it will get worse over the years. Someone is going to get hurt, and so that you won’t end up in jail, it’s just best to walk away. You deserve better. You don’t deserve to have to feel humiliated, mistreated, or disrespected, especially by some woman your husband won’t put into check, and is running over his life, and your marriage. For your own sanity, and peace of mind, let this go. Be thankful for this lesson because now you know what love is not. You know what you deserve, how to be treated, and the type of man you need in your life. Be encouraged, and be empowered. You have the power. – Terrance Dean Hey Bossip Fam, what do you think?

A close examination of the fatal Paul Walker crash video showing the Porsche engulfed in flames reveals a shadowy image appearing to flail. As a result, speculation is swirling the image, seen roughly 23 seconds into the video, is the actor trying in vain to escape the motorized death trap. But does the video really show that? Or anything conclusive? Paul Walker Crash Law enforcement sources investigating Paul Walker’s cause of death say that the actor and his friend Roger Rodas never got out of their seats. Investigators are confident that driver Roger absolutely didn’t move and was killed on impact, whereas Paul died of thermal and traumatic injuries. Thus, the rumor that he’s still trying to get out in the video. Upon further examination, however, police sources say the image seen in video shot right after the crash is not Walker and not an escape attempt. As for what the image really is? Officials have watched the video, and based on evidence from the site, it appears to be a part of the car’s roof burning. Paul Walker Crash Video Paul Walker Car Crash Video Sources say that based on photos of the wreck, Paul’s body was pinned in an area of the car that makes it clear he couldn’t have been flailing outside it. Also, based on the injuries he suffered, investigators think Paul died very quickly after impact, and therefore it’s impossible that this is Walker. It’s not clear how long after impact the crash video starts, but clearly more than a few seconds, which is likely all it took for Walker to pass away. That’s fortunate in the sense that at least the 40-year-old star didn’t suffer as he might have had he survived half a minute in that towering inferno. His fans, family and colleagues, of course, suffered an immeasurable loss. Vin Diesel, Tyrese and Paul’s father have all given touching tributes.

Miley Cyrus is looking for a boyfriend. And denim. Three months after her confirmed split with Liam Hemsworth, the former Disney star, 21, hinted on Twitter that she is ready to get back into the dating game. “I want a boyfriend that will wear jean on jean on jean with me,” she wrote, while sharing an image of Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake circa 2001. Cyrus does love her some Britney Spears . 4 life. She wished the “Perfume” crooner a “Happy album release day” this week, and said in her recent documentary, “I’ll be a diehard fan for Britney, always.” As for whether she also hearts Liam forever? Insiders indicate that she has been exchanging “flirty” texts with her former fiance, and that The Hunger Games star wants to reconcile with his ex. “She’s confused about how she feels,” a source tells celebrity gossip magazine Us Weekly , while “[Hemsworth] is telling friends he misses her.” Oh boy. Could be all just hearsay and conjecture. The ” Wrecking Ball ” singer recently told the December issue of Cosmopolitan that her current focus in life is music. “I need to treat my music like a relationship – give it my time and all the attention it deserves – and that’s my main love right now,” she told the publication. “This is the best time of my life,” Miles added. “I’m not going to look back on it and be like, ‘I wish I hadn’t been dwelling over a breakup,’ you know?”
