Chrissy Teigen: Mom-Shamed for Doing THIS to Her Son!

When she’s not  shredding critics of her post-baby body , Twitter Queen Chrissy Teigen is busy being a parent. She recently shared a medical treatment that her infant son, Miles, is undergoing. Mom-shaming trolls crawled out of the woodwork to give her a hard time. Take a look at how she perfectly responded: On Monday, Chrissy Teigen dropped something of a bombshell about her young son, Miles, whom she shares with John Legend. “Baby miles getting fitted for a little helmet today for his adorable slightly misshapen head,” Chrissy tweeted. “So if you see pictures,” she wrote. “Don’t feel bad for him because he’s just fixing his flat.” Celebrities are always under a microscope — also, Chrissy shares a lot on social media. Fans would have noticed sooner or later. “And honestly,” Chrissy said. “He’s probably gonna be even cuter with it somehow.” “GUYS,” Chrissy wrote in all caps. “My baby bug got his head-shaping helmet today!” she announced. “Please don’t feel bad for him if you see photos,” she reminded her followers. (More realistically, she was telling her fans who had missed the first memo) “Be is a happy bug and we’re just fixing his flat,” she repeated. Chrissy then joked: “I have been told it’s too late for my head.” Baby skulls are not fully formed at birth. It takes months for the different plates — think of them almost like tectonic plates — to fully merge. In the mean time, there is cartilage in addition to bone, which makes the baby’s head malleable. Useful for childbirth, but if a baby keeps sleeping in one certain way, it can alter the baby’s skull shape as an adult. Chrissy and John are taking very responsible steps towards safely and painlessly helping their baby boy grow up with a symmetrical skull. Unfortunately, some people came out of the woodwork to mom-shame Chrissy for giving Miles a helmet. They jumped to all kinds of conclusions — and Chrissy didn’t stand for it. “Good morning trolls!” Chrissy announced on Tuesday. “Just a friendly reminder that you do not indeed know absolutely everything,” she wrote. This, for many of them, must have been new information. “Miles has been seeing a physiotherapist,” Chrissy clarified. “We didn’t just go straight to helmet.” Chrissy makes it clear that they tried other, less visible approaches to protect the shape of Miles’ skull. “We tried muscle work,” Chrissy shared. “And will continue.” Some of the trolls had bombarded her with insistence that having a 100% preventable lopsided skull is  totally fine, actually . “Also your flat headed kid turned out fine,” Chrissy summarized in her post. “Yes yes yes I agree.” In other words, she’s not saying that trolls needed to do anything differently than what they did. More to the point, she wishes that mom-shamers would just shut up and go away. She also joked that other mom-shamers, who gave her a hard time about dancing with Luna, were right, that she could have “torn off” Luna’s arms. Chrissy explains why she said anything on the subject in the first place. “Just didn’t want you guys to see pictures and wonder,” she shared. “Not promoting anything,” she wrote. “Just sharing our story!” So it is not a product endorsement nor an incident of her telling people how to care for their lumpy-skulled babies. “Thank you,” Chrissy told the trolls. “Back to your bridge now.” That’s a hurtful stereotype. Some trolls live in bogs and others live in sewers. It’s 2018, Chrissy. Chrissy has been hounded by mom-shamers since she was pregnant with Luna. Seriously — people tweeted at her, insisting that she not eat cereal with artificial colors while pregnant. (Somehow, Luna did not pop out rainbow-colored, but she’s still pretty cute) There are genuinely terrible parents on this planet. Chrissy Teigen is not one of them. And yet some people continue to hound her and demand that she parent differently. Perhaps it is because she is known to engage on social media and they know that she’ll probably see it. Most bullies, at the end of the day, just want to feel like they made an impression. It makes them feel important or powerful.

Ryan Edwards: Out of Rehab and Loving Life! (According to Mackenzie Standifer)

It's been about a week since Ryan Edwards got out of rehab , and the former Teen Mom OG star has been keeping a low profile during that time. That's a very good thing, as the last time he checked out of a treatment facility, Edwards immediately started bashing Maci Bookout on Instagram. This time around, he's keeping his nose clean, focusing on his sobriety, and spending time with his newborn son. But that doesn't mean we're totally in the dark about how Ryan is doing these days. Both Maci and Ryan's wife, Mackenzie Standifer, have offered updates recently, and so far, fans like what they're seeing. Take a look: 1. Triumphant Ryan We don’t want to jinx him, but it looks like Ryan may have finally turned things around. 2. Sticking It Out Despite initial reports that he left rehab early again, Ryan reportedly lasted for the entire 90-day course of treatment. 3. Moves Like Jagger Ryan even missed the birth of his second son, Jagger, in order to complete treatment. 4. The Return But now that he’s back, it seems Ryan is making up for lost time. 5. Q&A Mackenzie recently took to Instagram to answer fans’ questions about what life’s been like since welcoming Jagger into the world. 6.

Michelle Obama Offers Advice to Meghan Markle

Michelle Obama is one of the few people who can relate to everything Meghan Markle is going through right now. Except for the part about being involved in a bitter, nasty, petty, vicious rivalry with her sister-in-law , we guess. Both Obama and Markle were thrust into the spotlight due to their relationships with high profile men, however. The former married a State Senator who became President of the United States… while the latter married a handsome party animal who has a mostly meaningless title, yet is very rich, popular and respected. In the new issue of Good Housekeeping, the ex-First Lady offers up a few words of wisdom for the Duchess of Sussex, saying in the pages of this magazine: “Like me, Meghan probably never dreamt that she’d have a life like this, and the pressure you feel – from yourself and from others – can sometimes feel like a lot.” We’re sure this is factual. So, what does Obama suggest? “My biggest piece of advice would be to take some time and don’t be in a hurry to do anything,” she says to/of Markle. It seems sort of like Meghan has already ignored this advice, though, right? She and Prince Harry will welcome a child less than a year after getting married, meaning they made said child together after just three months or so as husband and wife. No judgment of any kind here. We’re just saying: they definitely procreated in a hurry. Markle is similar to Obama in one way, however. Michelle is famous for saying “when they go low, we go high,” making it clear that she won’t ever engage with critics on their cruel levels. Meghan, meanwhile, simply won’t engaged with critics… at all, really. Which is basically the same thing. She has been under attack by her awful half-sister for many months now, yet has never uttered a negative word in public about Samantha Markle . Of late, attention has turned to an alleged feud with Kate Middleton , but Markle has remained mum in regard to this chatter as well. She’s mostly just gone around smiling and keeping herself cool, totally a Michelle Obama kind of move. Obama, of course, raised two daughters directly in the public eye. And Markle will be doing the same with her child once he or she is born. “I spent the first few months in the White House mainly worrying about my daughters, making sure they were off to a good start at school and making new friends before I launched into any more ambitious work,” Obama told Good Housekeeping “I think it’s okay – it’s good, even – to do that.” Kids come first, in other words. At almost all times. Obama also talked about the Duchess of Sussex’s power to make a difference, something Markle does know well, considering her many humanitarian initiatives over the years. Concludes Obama: “What I’d say is that there’s so much opportunity to do good with a platform like that. “And I think Meghan can [maximize] her impact for others, as well her own happiness, if she’s doing something that resonates with her personally.” In September of this year, Meghan helped release a cookbook that features recipes from women affected by the fatal Grenfell Tower fire. Then, in October, she delivered a speech about the importance of women’s rights in New Zealand. She’s on the right track in this department, that much seems certain.

Katie Holmes Had to "Audition" to Be Tom Cruise’s Wife, Ex-Scientologist Claims

There are several accepted facts about Tom Cruise that seem to come up in every conversation about the actor: He’s short; he jumped on Oprah’s couch ; and he believes depression is what happens when the alien souls that infect your body start feeding on the happiness portion of your brain. That last part may sound bonkers, but as a member of the Church of Scientology, Tom has been the mayor of Bonkersville for his entire adult life. The CoS has come to define Cruise’s career and public image, and rumors about the actor’s bizarre commitment to his controversial religion have been especially prevalent in the years since his divorce from Katie Holmes. One claim that’s dogged Cruise for over a decade is that he’s in the habit of “auditioning” women to be his partner — all with the help of CS officials. Actresses have come forward to claim that they auditioned to be Cruise’s girlfriend , but reps for the actor have repeatedly shot those rumors down. Now, a former Scientologist named Valerie Haney has claimed that such auditions “absolutely happened.”  In fact, she claims that Holmes participated in the audition process and “won” the right to be Cruise’s wife. In a scathing interview published today by The Hollywood Reporter , Haney claims that Cruise and the CoS are both essential to one another’s survival. The actress says that Cruise’s relationship with current CoS head David Miscavige is inappropriately close and that both men have a history of becoming intimately involved in one another’s personal lives. “Tom Cruise worships David Miscavige like a god,” says Haney , who was a member of the organization’s elite Sea Org for 22 years. “They worshiped each other.” Haney says Miscavige orchestrated Cruise’s girlfriend auditions and Cruise was an active participant in the dissolution of Miscavige’s marriage to Shelly Miscavige, who has been missing from the public eye for over a decade. “Shelly was pissed off all the time,” Haney says of the Miscavige’s final days together.  “Dave was raging at everyone day after day … and he had nothing for Shelly. So she was crying every night.” Haney is currently collaborating with actress and anti-Scientology activist Leah Remini, who filed a missing person report on Shelly in 2013. Church officials have issued a statement deriding Haney as a paid employee of Remini’s: “The Church of Scientology stated that Valerie Haney is outright lying and making up stories, as part of her employment for Leah Remini,” the statement reads. Cruise, of course, has not commented on the matter. He generally keeps mum on matters pertaining to his religion, his former wives, and his daughter, Suri Cruise, whom he reportedly hasn’t seen in several years.

Sarah Hyland’s Cousin Has Been Killed in a Drunk Driving Accident

Sarah Hyland has some tragic news to pass along. The Modern Family star’s 14-year old cousin, Trevor Canaday, was killed in a drunk driving accident on Saturday. In a screen capture taken from the GoFundMe page, Hyland wrote the following: “This is my 14 year old cousin Trevor. Yesterday, he was killed by a drunk driver. My uncle is still in the hospital in need of more surgeries.” The GoFundMe page was set up by Trevor’s mothers and aunts and it explains what transpired with Travor and his dad in Nebraska over the weekend. On Saturday 12/1 Trevor and his dad were driving to a show choir event and were involved in a serious car accident due to a drunk driver. His dad, Bryan, is recovering physically, but sadly Trevor has gained his wings and is singing and playing some crazy football in heaven. We are looking to help his mom, Becky, with funeral and hospital expenses in any way we can! We hope to have the funeral entirely covered and then will move forward with covering medical expenses from keeping Trevor stable and from dads surgery’s and rest at the hospital (UNMC). We will be getting the money to Mom (Becky) as soon as possible with the help of all of you by her being the beneficiary and depositing money into her account to relieve her worries as much as we can. Trevor was a funny, smart, innovative, athletic, goofy kid and he was so loved. His memory will live on in many ways. Please help us do this for the family now to help ease their suffering away from money to focus on healing emotionally. Thank you. You can click HERE to donate to the cause. And here is a picture of Trevor with his immediate family: Hyland’s Modern Family co-star, Ariel Winter, shared her friend’s screenshot about her cousin and encouraged her followers to donate. Both of Hyland and Winter’s Instagram stories said that the man allegedly driving the other vehicle had two previous DUIs on his record. Hyland wrote of another photo, the man “hit my Uncle’s car so fast my cousin (who was wearing a seatbelt) was ejected from the car.” Nolan Gould, who plays the brother of Winter and Hyland’s characters on their ABC sitcom, has also donated to the GoFundMe page and posted the link to his respective social media followers. We send our condolences to the family of Sarah Hyland. We can’t imagine what they must be going through right now. May Trevor Canaday rest in peace.

George H.W. Bush Dies; Former President Was 94

George Herbert Walker Bush, the 41st president of the United States and the father of ex-Commander-in-Chief George W. Bush, died on Friday night. He was 94 years old. The sad news was confirmed yesterday by spokesperson Jim McGrath. “George Herbert Walker Bush, World War II naval aviator, Texas oil pioneer, and 41st President of the United States of America, died on November 30, 2018. “He was 94 and is survived by his five children and their spouses, 17 grandchildren, eight great grandchildren, and two siblings,” the former president’s office said in a statement. Concluded this message: “He was preceded in death by his wife of 73 years, Barbara; his second child Pauline “Robin” Bush; and his brothers Prescott and William or “Bucky” Bush.” Bush, a Republican who held the Oval Office for one term, was hospitalized back in April , just one day after laying his beloved wife to rest. He had contracted an infection at the time, but it’s too early right now to know the President’s cause of death. Son George W. spoke on behalf of his siblings with a statement of his own shortly after his father died on Friday.  It reads as follows: Jeb, Neil, Marvin, Doro, and I are saddened to announce that after 94 remarkable years, our dear Dad has died. George H. W. Bush was a man of the highest character and the best dad a son or daughter could ask for. The entire Bush family is deeply grateful for 41’s life and love, for the compassion of those who have cared and prayed for Dad, and for the condolences of our friends and fellow citizens. Funeral details will be announced in the coming days, McGrath also noted. On Twitter, meanwhile, President Trump wrote the following: “President George H.W. Bush led a long, successful and beautiful life.  “Whenever I was with him I saw his absolute joy for life and true pride in his family. His accomplishments were great from beginning to end. “He was a truly wonderful man and will be missed by all!” He and wife Melania also released a lengthy statement that we have included below: Prior to his time as the most powerful man in the world, the Massachusetts native served as an aviator in the Navy and flew 58 combat missions during World War II. He was awarded three Air Medals and the Distinguished Flying Cross. Bush then served as Vice President for eight years to Ronald Reagan. He was a congressman, ambassador to China and director of central intelligence, receiving the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2011. The former President’s death comes just eight months after his wife of 73 years, Barbara, died on April 17. Even after her passing, Bush remained devoted to his late wife, sitting beside her casket for hours in his wheelchair as mourners paid their respects while she lay in repose one day before her invitation-only funeral. The photos of his tribute made their way around the Internet at the time. Bush’s grandchildren affectionately nicknamed him “Gampy,” and Bush Hager has said on The Today Show that her grandfather “really is one of the most humble, wonderful men.” We send our condolences to his loved ones. May George H.W. Bush rest in peace. View Slideshow: Celebrities Who Died in 2018: In Memoriam

Briana DeJesus: I Wish Javi the Best. No, Really!

Briana DeJesus would like your attention please. She would like you to focus on your computer screen and read her words carefully, okay? Because she really does not want to address this topic again. DeJesus has spoken to In Touch Weekly and tried to make her opinion on ex-boyfriend Javi Marroquin has clear as possible. The Teen Mom 2 star knows what’s being written about her at the moment and she’d really like to put an end to those rumors — right here, right now, once and for all. So here she goes: “To be clear I am only responding to this because it’s continuing to be in the press and hence I’m being asked about it,” Briana tells the aforementioned tabloid, adding for emphasis: “I never said anyone cheated on me. That never came out my mouth.” DeJesus is correct in thiis statement. And this is why she felt a need to make it… On November 15, Javi welcomed his second son into the world and his first with girlfriend Lauren Comeau. The boy’s name is Eli and even ex-wife Kailyn Lowry Tweeted “congrats” to Marroquin. But Briana did not do so. Instead, she wrote one simple sentence on social media that made many folks think she was accusing Javi of cheating on her early in 2018. This is what she wrote: DeJesus is referencing a plastic surgery procedure she had done in Florida. As loyal Teen Mom viewers may recall, Javi flew down to The Sunshine State at the time to be with her and to try and salvage their relationship. This was about 10 months before Comeau gave birth to Marroquin’s child, meaning Javi and her must have gotten busy right around the same time as he was visting Briana. So he’s a giant CHEATER, right? Wrong, DeJesus now clarifies. “People asked me what was my timeline and I said February 1st was the day I got my  urgery,” the MTV star says to In Touch, adding that folks drew their own conclusions fromn there. For the record, it’s true. The timeline doesn’t exactly add up. Comeau was due on December 1 (she was induced early due to some complications) and nine months prior that would be March 1. There is a window in there in which Javi could have been broken up from Briana at the time he shagged Lauren. “Nothing has ever come out of my mouth specifically where I said he cheated on me,” Briana says now. “My relationship with Javi is LONG in the past.” Both sides habe obviously moved one. Javi has a new child and a steady girlfriend. Briana is also in a relationship and doesn’t wish to continually revisit a romance that fizzled out so long ago. “I wish Lauren and Javi the best with their new child,” she tells In Touch. “As far as I’m concerned, this is a dead issue and I’m continuing to move forward in my life with positivity and people around me that make me happy. “And that’s that.” Well said all around, Briana. For Comeau’s part, she has mostly remained silent since getting together with Marroquin. But she did feel a need to speak out after her son’s dad was accused of being dishonest and unethical. “I’ll tell you the day we conceived. March 10! We know the timeline,” Comeau told Radar Online this week, adding: “There was no possible way of cheating.” She also had a few harsh words for DeJesus.

Ariana Grande and Her Mom DESTROY Piers Morgan Over Misogyny

On Wednesday, Twitter witnessed a murder. Ariana Grande and her mother, Joan Grande, just absolutely annihilated Piers Morgan. See, he went after both Ellen DeGeneres (really!) and Little Mix, because he's an absurd troll who likes to stir up trouble. But if you kick enough hornet's nests, you get stung. It's no surprise to see Ariana and her amazing mother doing their share of the stinging. Piers is a controversy-courting provocateur who fancies himself a journalist and it is always a delight to see him get put in his place. Take a look: 1. Mama Grande had time Joan Grande is a delight, and she doesn’t love to see Piers stir up controversy towards women just to get himself a little attention. 2. Piers tried to explain himself One of Piers’ favorite habits is concern-trolling, where he pretends to be a champion of women by … condemning women for what they do with their own bodies. 3. Joan didn’t care for that Honeslty, if Joan Grande told me in that tone to have my mother call me … I would change my name and disappear off of the face of the planet. 4. Joan makes it clear that she’s not going to feed the trolls She said what she cames to say, and she won’t dignify Piers’ nonsense by giving him any further attention. 5. She did notice one thing, though … Ariana had also taken note and was NOT here to listen to Piers shaming these women, either. 6. Ariana, like her mother, had time today Ariana spent Wednesday teasing her followers with behind-the-scenes glimpses at her “Thank U, Next” music video, but she saw her mother’s tweets and added her own legendary voice.

Kim Kardashian: Tristan Thompson Is a Loser & Khloe Is Living a Lie!

Tell us what you really think, Kim! In a pair of previews for the upcoming episode of Keeping Up With the Kardashians , Kim absolutely lets loose on Tristan Thompson, and it’s a sight to behold! Kim Kardashian: Khloe Is Living a Lie Because of Tristan Thompson! Things start off mildly enough with Kim expressing her frustrations to Scott Disick. It’s a little ironic, but hey — who knows more about mistreating Kim’s sisters than Scott? “So I feel like Khloe is living a full double life,” Kim explains to Disick. “She’s in town and I just haven’t seen her. I just feel like Tristan’s here and she’s so nervous for she and I to see each other.” Yes, like the rest of us, Kim is slowly coming to terms with the fact that Khloe is not going to dump Tristan . Scott then launches into a nonsensical, word salad defense of douchebag behavior that could earn him a spot as the next White House press secretary: “Everybody wants to be protective of their family,” Disick says. “But I think sometimes when people get too caught up when it’s like a negative protection and not always being there with the positive, then everybody feels kind of like attacked.” From there Kim launches a more direct attack after learning that Tristan has blocked her on social media . Note how the Calabasan female expresses anger without ever altering her facial expression or abandoning her deep vocal fry: Kim Kardashian: Tristan Thompson Sucks! “He blocked me, what a f–king loser. Literally, what a fucking loser,” Kim says. “He blocked me on Instagram … like, how old are you?” she continues. “He’s 27, only 27-year-olds know how to block,” Khloe remarks. “I don’t even know how to block someone.” Of course, these scenes were shot several months ago and much has changed since then. These days, Kim has forgiven Tristan and the NBA star has been welcomed back into the Kardashian fold. But clearly, the most shocking thing in all this is that there was a time — just a few months ago — when the Kardashian sisters had no idea how to block someone on Instagram. And sadly, that might still be the case. View Slideshow: Khloe Kardashian: Why She SHOULD Leave Tristan Thompson, But Never Will
