It started as a mere Tweet. And it has grown into a national debate. On Saturday night, celebrity chef Grant Achatz Tweeted a complaint that a crying baby inside the restaurant Alinea was causing major problems. “Tbl brings 8mo.Old. It cries. Diners mad,” he wrote. “Tell ppl no kids? Subject diners 2crying? Ppl take infants 2 plays? Concerts? Hate saying no,but..” Grant Achatz Pushes for Baby Ban: Should It Happen? Achatz then appeared on Good Morning America and added: “I could hear it crying in the kitchen. We want people to come in and enjoy and experience Alinea for what it is, but we also have to be cognizant of the other 80 people that came in to experience Alinea that night.” Achatz’s 82,000 Twitter followers seemed split on whether or not babies should actually be banned from expensive restaurants, while we’d rather see some awful Hollywood mothers barred instead. What do YOU think? Should babies not be allowed in high-end eateries? Yes, I want peace and quiet! No, it’s a free country! View Poll »
Think eating 72 ounces of steak in 161 seconds is gross? Consider a new restaurant coming to Los Angeles. Adam Fleischman, founder and CEO of Umami Burger, will soon open ChocoChicken, an establishment that serves – yup, you guessed it – chocolate-flavored fried chicken. “This isn’t mole, traditional fried chicken or even chicken just dipped in chocolate,” Fleischman says of the product, which he advertises as possessing the “crack factor” he looks for in restaurant brands. He believes fried chicken “has been largely overlooked in fast-casual restaurants,” seeming to have never heard of a certain place that specializes in the Kentucky-based item. ChocoChicken will also serve biscuits, sides, beer, wine and cocktails and open in March at 403 W. 12th St. Will you try some chocolate-flavored chicken? Barf, NO! Yes, sounds delicious View Poll »
Nadya Suleman says she is not guilty of welfare fraud. The mother of far too many kids, best known as Octomom, was arrested this week and charged with three count of the crime, having allegedly failed to report income made on her sex tape last year. Seriously, who would have thought the Nadya Suleman sex tape would come back to bite its star in the… nevermind. Nadya Suleman: ARRESTED! Suleman faces six years behind bars if convicted, though it’s more likely that she’ll pay close to what she owes and face a reduced misdemeanor.

You’ve seen the headlines. KIM KARDASHIAN AND KANYE WEST TO MARRY IN BULGARIA! KOURTNEY KARDASHIAN MAY CASTRATE SCOTT DISICK! KHLOE KARDASHIAN TO BIRTH TO AN ALIEN! Yes, the tabloids sure get their money’s worth out of the Kardashian clan. But the woman in charge of it claims she doesn’t mind. Kris Jenner Speaks on Tabloids, Khloe Divorce “The tabloids don’t really matter because 99.9 percent of what’s printed is made up or not true,” Kris tells The Huffington Post in the above interview. “So we don’t pay attention to that.” Jennr says she gets it: headlines about her and her loved one “sell magazine and create attention on websites, so people are going to write whatever they want.” But the mainstream media puts her daughters on respectable magazines and the fans remain totally awesome. “We have such amazing fans that really stand behind us, and love the show and love the girls, so I think that really helps when you’re trying to work through a difficult situation,” she says. “You feel that support and that love, because we get so much. I think so many people refer to the tabloids or the negative stuff, but it’s such a small, little nonsense compared to the big picture.” And in that big picture, Khloe Kardashian is going through a divorce from Lamar Odom. “She’s having a hard time,” Jenner says of her child. “She’s going through a very difficult time, but she’s doing her best. And I think that you’ll see that on the new season.” Ah yes. There it is. The plug for Keeping Up with the Kardashians Season 9 . It premieres on January 19.
Really ?!?! British Father Of 22 Children Avoids Jail Time For Drug Dealing Via DailyMail A jobless man who claimed to have fathered 22 children by 11 women was yesterday spared jail for dealing drugs – after telling a judge he needed to help care for his youngest. Raymond Hull, 58, who has been married only once and has lived off benefits for a decade, insisted ‘I just love kids’, but admitted he was in contact with only ‘about 12’ of them. Despite police finding a stash of cannabis and text messages from customers, a judge accepted he was helping to raise child number 22 – seven-month-old Barry – while his partner returned to work. I just love kids,’ he said. ‘I don’t regret anything, even though I don’t speak to them all. Some of them don’t even know I’m their dad.’ And he bragged: ‘I don’t know what it is about me, but I’m never short of offers. It’s just my luck that every time I have a one-night stand, the girl ends up getting pregnant. ‘I’ve never had to chase after women. I’m easy going, they are always chasing me. Ladies, would you offer yourself to ol’ Raymond? Hull claims to have fathered his first child when he was 16, but according to local birth records his eldest, John, was born when he was 19. Later that year, in 1975, he married John’s mother, Patricia, then just 17, and over the next nine years they had four more children – Raymond Jr, now 37, Joseph, 36, Adrian, 34, and Rebecca, 29. ‘I only know one or two of their birthdays, but they don’t mind. One of the girls got a sister for her birthday one year,’ he recalled yesterday. Raymond has even worked out an amicable situation with some of his baby mamas ‘I agreed with some of my exes now that if they get married to someone else, and another man raises the kid, it is not my kid anymore. I see 14 of my kids who know I am their dad all the time’. SMH. As for the consequences of his drug dealing… He claimed to be in debt – but his baby son was playing with an iPad when a reporter visited this week. Hull, who also claims to have 19 grandchildren, was arrested after police raided his terraced home last May and discovered cannabis worth £350. Examination of his mobile phone revealed a text message telling a customer there would be a delay in supplying drugs due to Barry’s impending birth. Hull admitted using cannabis to help with his own medical problems at Carlisle Crown Court, but claimed he only sold to friends to cover costs. However, Judge Paul Batty QC dismissed Hull’s claims as a ‘cock and bull story’. Hull then abandoned his story, choosing not to give evidence in support of it. In mitigation, Anthony Wilson said Hull had ‘a number of medicinal conditions’ including breathing problems, back pains and frequent chest infections which would make any time in prison difficult. He suggested that a suspended sentence could be imposed so that Hull could stay at home and look after the baby while his partner went back to work. Judge Batty imposed an 18-month sentence, suspended for two years. He also put Hull under a night-time curfew for the next six months and ordered him pay £200 which will be taken out of his benefits. Let his guy have been a black man selling that yahmean to feed his 22 kids, his azz would have been under the jail faster than you can spell “piff”.
