Nicole Trunfio is an Australian model best known to many for sometimes taking off her clothes. And that’s exactly what Nicole Trunfio is doing on the cover of Elle… but for a very different reason than usual. The brunette beauty is trending on Facebook today because she’s breastfeeding her baby for all to see, as Trunfio becomes the latest famous female to stand up for this personal and parental cause. “There is nothing more powerful and beautiful than motherhood,” Trunfio wrote on her social media page along with this picture. “The last thing I want to do is be controversial, so please take this for what it is, let us #normalizebreastfeeding. there is nothing worse than a mother that is judged for feeding her hungry child in public.” Except mothers get judged for this act all the time. A breastfeeding ad campaign that depicted mothers forced to hide out in dirty bathrooms went viral last year and stirred up its own controversy. “I’m so proud of this cover and what it’s stands for,” Trunfio added. “I obviously don’t look like this or wear while I am breastfeeding but this stands for all women out there, whether you breastfeed or not, we gave birth, we are women, we are mothers. “Thank you to ELLE for being so bold and making such an encouraging, positive and healthy statement. #womenunite.” As you can see below, other celebrities who have fed their child in public in order to make a point include Alyssa Milano, Gisele and Jaime King: View Slideshow: Celebrity Breastfeeding Pictures
On Supernatural Season 10 Episode 23 , Sam and Dean finally rid themselves of the Mark of Cain. The two-year odyssey concluded with one brother actually killing Death (and becoming Death?) and it has also led to what may be the greatest parody video in the history of parody videos. Courtesy of The Hillywood Show, the above footage sums up the entire Mark of Cain storyline in one seven-minute video. And it does so, naturally, to “Shake It Off” by Taylor Swift . Is that (somehow) not enough to draw you in? Consider this: your favorite Supernatural stars, from Jensen Ackles to Jared Padalecki to Mark Pellegrino, all jump in toward the end and show off their dances moves as well. This is a must-watch.
A day after Josh Duggar was named by police as an alleged offender in a sexual molestation case, the reality star and his family have issued a statement. In response to this heinous scandal, they are not denying the charges. “Twelve years ago, as a young teenager, I acted inexcusably for which I am extremely sorry and deeply regret,” Josh tells People . “I hurt others, including my family and close friends … I confessed this to my parents who took several steps to help me address the situation.” “We spoke with the authorities where I confessed my wrongdoing, and my parents arranged for me and those affected by my actions to receive counseling.” “I understood that if I continued down this wrong road that I would end up ruining my life,” added Josh, who did not elaborate on what the road entailed. TMZ was a lot less vague today, reporting that a decade ago, Duggar was investigated for multiple counts of sexual molestation as a teenager. Sources told police he fondled the genitals of five girls back in 2002. Included among the molestation victims were Josh’s own sisters . View Slideshow: Josh and Anna Duggar Photos: Through the Years Duggar has now resigned from his position at the Family Research Council as a result of the accusations becoming a matter of public record. Jim Bob and Michelle, in their own statement, acknowledged having gone through “one of the most difficult times” of their lives 12 years ago. “When Josh was a young teenager, he made some very bad mistakes, and we were shocked,” the patriarch and matriarch said Thursday. “We had tried to teach him right from wrong,” they said, in the aftermath. “That dark and difficult time caused us to seek God like never before.” Jim Bob Duggar turned him in , reportedly to local church members who agreed that Josh should be put in some kind of treatment program. It remains unclear just what this entailed. For her part, Josh’s wife and the mother of his three children, Anna, says her husband told her about his ugly past two years before he proposed.

Someone, she adds of the oldest of 19 Duggar siblings, “who had received the help needed to change the direction of his life and do what is right.” The statute of limitations has expired so Josh Duggar will not be prosecuted. But you can bet public pressure will be applied to fire his entire family. Will TLC cancel 19 Kids and Counting in the wake of this scandal? All we can do is stay tuned there, but Josh, 27, insists he is a changed man. “I would do anything to go back to those teen years and take different actions,” says Josh. “I sought forgiveness from those I had wronged.” “I asked Christ to forgive me and come into my life. In my life today, I am so very thankful for God’s grace, mercy and redemption.” Think he’ll get it? From a higher power and/or TLC viewers? View Slideshow: 17 Controversial Duggar Family Quotes
Lena Dunham is getting set to wig out. Literally and figuratively! The Girls creator, who has been vocal for many years about her desire to someday guest star on Scandal, will have that professional dream come true in two weeks. And she’ll be donning a wig while doing so. ABC has released pictures from Scandal Season 4 Episode 16 , “It’s Good to Be Kink,” in which Dunham will come on board as a woman who plans to expose many of Washington D.C’.s most sordid sex secrets. This prompts Olivia Pope to jump into action for numerous reasons, not the least of which is her desire to hide her own sex secrets. A few weeks ago, in a podcast with Bill Simmons on Grantland.com, Dunham said it would fulfill her “life’s great passion” to guest star on smash ABC series, ideally as “a really evil character.” We’re not sure how evil the above-pictured character is, but she does appear to be butting heads with Olivia, the lead Gladiator herself. So that’s something. While hosting Saturday Night Live in 2014, Dunham starred in a sketch as an incompetent recent college graduate who joined the Gladiator team that is at the center of Scandal. It was hilarious. Scandal Cast Through the Years 1. Scandal Season 4 Cast Photo View Photo Scandal Season 4 returns on September 25 at 9/8C. Doesn’t the cast look glamorous in this photo? 2.

Reign aired the most controversial scene on network television last week, leaving many to wonder how the rape storyline would be followed up on Reign Season 2 Episode 10 . How would the series both respect Mary’s traumatic experience … while also providing storyline fodder across the board on a winter finale meant to leave viewers hanging off a cliff in anticipation of the show’s 2015 return? Watch Reign Season 2 Episode 10 Online Before delving into the specifics of the episode, let’s start by giving mad props to Adelaide Kane. She has been tremendous all season long, capping that run with her best performance to date last night. Consider: Mary’s eyes widening as Louis stepped towards her, symbolic her new instinct to fear. Then, of course, there was the anger and fury and pain when Mary douses her rapist in fire.. only for her to then realize this suffering did not ease her own. Great stuff. Emotional stuff. In all of these ways, Reign ensured that Mary’s experience was taken very seriously. As for Francis? He took another step toward becoming his father this week. We saw him lean down towards a shackled Narcisse, lock eyes with him and tell imprisoned noble that a single wrong move will get him “slaughtered in the dead of night.” Could anyone have imagined these words of actions coming from the Francis of Reign Season 1 ? We were left mostly confused about Catherine de Medici, however, and we didn’t receive an answer about whether or not Claude is dead. (So we’re gonna assume Claude is not dead.) So there’s something to look forward to when Reign returns on January 22. Until then, you can always watch Reign online , as we leave you with Mary’s powerful words from the winter finale: I’m not ashamed of what happened to me. I was wronged by evil men. It was an act of war.
SMH Couple Caught Sneaking Into Maternity Ward With Fake Babies Today in crazy California news…. via Huffington Post A woman in Merced, California, has been arrested on trespassing charges after she and an unnamed man allegedly twice tried sneaking into a hospital maternity ward using dolls as decoys. The woman, identified by ABC30.com as Tonya Whitney Boehs, first tried getting into Merced’s Mercy Medical Center’s obstetrics unit last Saturday with her male companion. They doted on the fake babies by changing them and posing for photos, the station reported. The suspects were turned away by a suspicious guard who snapped photos of them carrying the lifelike dolls, the Los Angeles Times reports. Merced police are investigating if the pair sought to abduct a newborn, according to the Times. The couple, clutching a diaper bag and carryall, apparently tried again on Monday. Boehs allegedly wore hospital scrubs, according to ABC30.com, but she aroused suspicion because the outfit didn’t match the hospital’s uniform. They also got tripped up by claiming to have a non-existent appointment with an educator and presenting an outdated business card from the center’s director. Boehs and her unknown accomplice never made it into the baby wing. The intentions of the couple are unclear at this point, but Boehs told ABC30.com that it’s all a big misunderstanding. Seems pretty clear to us what these two shady bums were up to! Thank goodness they were caught. Shuttesrtock
