Another senseless act of violence . Father Of Two Gunned Down According to DNA INFO Salvador Flores stood outside his Avondale home Saturday and pointed to the spot where his brother-in-law, Uriel Guadarramo, had fallen after being shot in the chest Friday evening. Flores said he had looked out his window on the 2800 block of North Spaulding Avenue just before 8 p.m. Friday to see Guadarramo, 36, at the front gate talking with a neighborhood friend named Raul. Ten minutes later, Flores heard five or six shots ring out on the quiet residential block. “I hear Raul screaming my sister’s name to come out,” Flores recalled. “I ran up and looked out the window, and he was already laid out on the ground.” Police said a gunman emerged from between two parked cars and opened fire on two men. A 36-year-old man was fatally shot in his chest, and a 61-year-old man was shot in his lower right leg and suffered a graze wound to the back of his head. Guadarramo was one of three people killed in gun violence Friday and Saturday. Flores ran outside and held Guadarramo in his arms, trying to prop him up to prevent Guadarramo from coughing up too much blood. Flores said he tried to keep his brother-in-law conscious as he held him. “I don’t know if he was trying to talk to me. I couldn’t hear anything,” he said. An ambulance took Guadarramo to Advocate Illinois Masonic Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead at 8:44 p.m., according to the Cook County Medical Examiner’s office. But Flores said he already knew brother-in-law was gone when responders put a sheet over Guadarramo in the ambulance. “I knew right then and there,” he said. Flores’ eyes were glazed Saturday as he remembered Guadarramo, whom he had known since he was four years old. Guadarramo and his sister had been married for about 15 years. The two met when they were both 15 years old, he said. “He pretty much raised me,” Flores said of Guadarramo. “He wasn’t my brother-in-law. He was my brother.” Guadarramo leaves behind two young children: a 12-year-old daughter and a 9-year-old son. On Saturday, a small memorial of candles and notes stood in the grass just outside the gate where Guadarramo was shot. After the shooting, police had asked Flores if Guadarramo may have had a conflict with anyone from the neighborhood, but Flores said Guadarramo was a family man who had lived in the neighborhood his whole life. Guadarramo was a self-employed construction worker who worked long days and enjoyed hosting barbecues for his family, Flores said. “He was a fun person, a hard-working person who loved his family,” he said. “He struggled to make a life for him and his family.” Neighbors said Saturday there may be shootings in the neighborhood every so often, especially in the summertime, but not on the 2800 block of North Spaulding Avenue. “It’s scary,” one neighbor who declined to be named said as small children played across the street. Flores agreed, saying he would not wish what his family is going through on anyone else. “It’s everywhere,” he said of gun violence in Chicago. “The last place you would expect it, it happens.” We feel bad for his kids.

On August 12, The Real Housewives of Miami Season 3 will premiere on Bravo. Viewers of the reality series can expect a stream of cat fights, wedding planning, drama.. and a bit less of Marysol Patton. Along with her entertaining mother, the star confirmed this week to Radar Online that she’s been demoted to a recurring member of the program’s cast. The Real Housewives of Miami Season 3 Trailer “I’m not in the main title shot with the photos with the girls, but I film just as much as I did when I was a regular housewife,” Patton says . “So, I guess it will come down to the editing.” Why did the network reduce Marysol screen time? She thinks Bravo wanted to focus on fewer Housewives “so that there was more quality and the audience could get more involved with the ladies and their stories. It was too hard to do that when there was seven or eight of us.” Patton isn’t bitter (even referring to the move as “smart”), but she isn’t anxious to leave the show entirely either. “I enjoy myself and I enjoy the friendships that were made and the ladies that I’ve met,” she said. “Today and where I am today, I could say maybe a few more years.”
Paula Deen’s partnership with Caesars Entertainment has gone bust. The latest casualty of the celeb chef’s ongoing racism scandal, which resulted in her firing from Food Network , Deen was 86’d by the company today. Paula Deen Cries on Today Apparently Paula Deen’s Today interview didn’t stop the bleeding. The company “reached an agreement with Paula Deen Enterprises not to renew the business relationship,” a statement released today reads. While Caesars “appreciate[s] Paula’s sincere apologies,” the company believes its move to sever ties with her is “in the best interests of both parties.” Caesars currently operates four branded Paula Deen Buffet properties in the following casinos in Louisville, Memphis, Chicago and North Carolina. The buffets will be rebranded in the coming months. On Monday, Deen was dropped by Smithfield Foods , which had previously sold Paula-branded hams and used her as a spokeswoman for the brand. Other sponsors are reportedly weighing their options. Paula Deen Today Show Interview Not everyone is itching to ditch Deen, though. Her restaurants have reportedly been “slammed” (with customers, in a good way), according to her brother. Interest in her annual Paula Deen Cruise has been so great since the scandal broke that its organizer added an additional departure date for 2014. Finally, a Paula Deen Facebook fan page has more than 200,000 Likes since it was created over the weekend, a sign that she still has a fan base. Think that will last if her exposure is reduced? In other words, will people still crave Paula Deen recipes if she loses all her shows and big partnerships?
It’s a stressful time for Kim Kardashian. She’s a new mother, the world is mocking her daughter’s name ( North West … really?!?) and SHE ABSOLUTELY MUST LOSE ALL BABY WEIGHT AS SOON AS HUMANLY POSSIBLE!!! At least that’s how one source puts it to In Touch Weekly . “Kim is obsessed with getting the baby weight off – and fast,” an insider tells the tabloid, adding that she immediately asked her sisters if she looked skinner once North was born. “Kim’s terrified she will never get her body back,” added the mole “Everyone has told her not to stress – that it’s about being healthy and having a good mindset for your baby, but her family knows that at the end of the day, Kim will do what Kim wants.” That’s true. Except for the part about Kim doing what Kim wants. We all know Kim only does what Kris Jenner wants.
We”re glad North is healthy and happy now because with a name like that, baby girl has a hard road ahead. Kris Jenner Says North Is Healthy And Happy Kris Jenner has Kanye right where she wants him, all that’s left is to draw up the prenup giving Kimmy Cakes half. We’re not hating…we’re just saying. According to US Magazine Kris Jenner is now a proud grandmother of three! During a June 25 appearance on the Today show, the 57-year-old talk show host opened up about her daughter Kim Kardashian and her granddaughter North West. “Everyone’s doing really well at home,” Jenner said of the first-time mom, 32, and the newborn, 10 days. “The baby’s doing great and happy and healthy and it’s a really joyful time.” The E! reality star — also grandmother to Kourtney Kardashian’s children Mason, 3, and Penelope, 11 months — added that baby North “is amazing.” When co-anchor Matt Lauer asked Jenner if she could share any pictures of Kim’s first baby with boyfriend Kanye West, the momager jokingly replied, “I’d have to kill you if I showed you my cell phone.” Jenner then shifted the conversation back to her eponymous talk show. “I’m giving birth to something July 15,” she joked, referencing the series premiere. “It’s more of a lifestyle show: health, fitness, fashion, food and pop culture. . . I’m so looking forward to it.” In the July 1 issue of Us Weekly, a family source said that baby North — nicknamed “Nori” by her parents — “is tiny and perfect. She looks just like Kim — with her dark hair and some of her features.” Kim, her baby and her beau are currently staying at Jenner’s home while they renovate their own place in L.A.’s Bel Air neighborhood. The project won’t be completed until December, but an insider said it’s unlikely they’ll still with Kim’s mom that long: “They are looking at rentals.” Way to go Kris Jenner. Despite our hate we’re happy for Kim and Kanye. Wenn

How much taunting can a gorilla take from bratty little kids before he snaps? And what will the typically reserved primate do when that point comes? Find out in the video below! Gorilla Scares Kids at Zoo Evidently a gorilla can only tolerate ridiculing hand gestures, being called “ugly” and having his glass enclosure pounded on aggressively for so long.
