According to WRAL.com , Lee Dingle was playing with his children in the ocean at Oak Island when a huge wave forced his head to the ground. His neck broke and his throat swelled, causing his brain to be deprived of oxygen. “A powerful wave at the beach, something totally unexpected,” said April Schweitzer, a family friend. “There was just too much swelling to do anything for him.” Damn. Dingle was 37 and left behind six kids. His wife, Shannon Dingle, wrote on Twitter: “Some heroes – including our kids – tried to save him, but it wouldn’t have mattered what they did. His body couldn’t recover from the initial injury. We met when I was 18 and he was 19, and we’ve been together ever since. I wasn’t supposed to be saying goodbye at 37. I don’t know how to be a grown up without him, but I’ll learn. I just wish I didn’t have to.” Some heroes – including our kids – tried to save him, but it wouldn’t have mattered what they did.

Source: Wachira Khurimon / EyeEm / Getty Louisiana Cop Posts Facebook Comment About AOC Getting Shot Amerikkka has always been racist as hell, but we had reached a point where racist and bigots knew it was socially unacceptable to live their truth out loud. However, in Trump’s Amerikkka, these soup cookies have been emboldened to let their hate flag fly. According to NOLA , a Gretna police officer in Louisiana, Charlie Rispoli, posted a Facebook comment calling AOC a “vile idiot” who “needs a round, and I don’t mean the kind she used to serve.” A hate crime-y play on words that references the Congresswoman’s bartending past and a bullet. Here’s what police chief Charlie Lawson had to say about his mans: “I will tell you this: This will not go unchecked,” Lawson said. “I’m not going to take this lightly and this will be dealt with on our end. It’s not something we want someone that’s affiliated with our department to make these types of statements. That’s not going to happen.” Lawson said he does not think the comment constitutes an actual threat, but it appears to violate the department’s social media policy, which he said all officers have read and signed. “Whether you agree or disagree with the message of these elected officials and how frustrated you may or may not get, this certainly is not the type of thing that a public servant should be posting,” he said. Source: Spencer Platt / Getty Here’s why this matters so much and why Trump’s racist rhetoric is so dangerous to the women of color that he’s targeted. Rispoli was replying to a “satire” FAKE NEWS STORY that quoted AOC saying “We pay soldiers too much”. The Snopes website marked this story “false” but it didn’t stop someone simple like officer Rispoli from believing it and taking action. See how this can go left? Please vote.

After making history as the first Miss Minnesota contestant to compete in a burkini and a hijab in 2016, the Somali model recently broke barriers again when she became the first model to wear a burkini in Sports Illustrated . As she continues to grace major fashion magazine covers and hit runways in her hijab, the outspoken catwalker also uses her budding supermodel status as a platform for advocacy for refugees, the Sudan Crisis, and more. We caught up with Aden about general modest fashion, dressing modest in summer, her take on trends, and more at W South Beach during Miami Swim Week in Miami over the weekend, where she was on hand to help choose the winner of the Sports Illustrated Model Search and slayed the runway at the Sports Illustrated Fashion Show.

Tori Roloff has good taste in women. We’re not trying to be crass or inappropriate or anything of that nature here. The Little People, Big World star simply jumped on Instagram late last week and sort of revealed the celebrity on whom she has a total crush. And we could not agree with Tori’s take any more. Because, seriously, who out there does NOT think Kristen Bell is totally and completely amazing?!? The actress has been in the news often of late because she is starring in the Hulu revival of Veronica Mars. (She also helps anchor the funniest show on network television, NBC’s The Good Place.) But Tori didn’t gush publicly over Bell due to her portrayal of Mars or the way she banters with Ted Danson on The Good Place. Instead, Roloff gave Bell all the props for simply being a terrific mother (which, let’s face it, is the most important role anyone can ever play). As a caption to a video of her kids being asked how old they she is, Bell wrote the following on social media a couple days ago: “My kids are kind. I don’t care if they can’t do math. (For my #armcherries: #fastmath is overrated.)” Replied Tori to this take: “I love following you. I love how you love others and your family and you deal with life with humor. Thank you for being such a light in this world.” Allow us to chime in here real quickly with an AMEN . We’ve long admired Bell for being so candid about her life, her relationship and motherhood in general. She also once wrote this pretty awesome Donald Trump-relate Tweet . And if you’ve never seen the following video of Bell bawling her eyes out over meeting a sloth, well, stop everything you are doing right now and watch. Just trust us… Kristen Bell LOVES Sloths! Tori, who recently surprassed a million Instagram followers , has become known and widely respected for the way in which she interacts with other stars. She always comes across as especially sympathetic and relatable. In a recent/unfortunate instance, for example, Tori acknowledgde that Joy-Anna Duggar and Austin Forsyth had suffered a miscarriage after five months of pregnancy, writing to her fellow reality stars: “Austin and Joy my heart just absolutely breaks for you two. I am so sorry. You are in my prayers. How blessed she is that she gets to be with Jesus and she gets to call you two mom and dad.” So sad. But so sweet of Roloff, who has also been sharing a number of baby bump photos online. “One. Million. Followers,” Roloff wrote as a message last month after reaching the aforementioned number, adding at the time: “What in the world? You guys. This is honestly such an honor. It has been such a fun ride sharing just a little part of my life with all of you. The love and support I have felt from you guys on my journey has been overwhelming and wonderful.” She concluded: My goal here is to continue to make people laugh and show everyone I’m just a normal girl who got thrown into extraordinary circumstances and you better believe I’m not going to waste a damn moment. I feel like social media can sometimes be a scary place but I’ve tried to keep mine uplifting and fun and I hope you guys feel that. Thanks for joining me on this ride and being a part of my story. Even though- lets be real- y’all are here for Jackson. This is why we love Tori Roloff. View Slideshow: Tori and Zach Roloff: Secrets of the Little People, Big World Stars’ Private Lives

Even folks who aren’t into dairy have found a way to enjoy the delicious snack, by substituting regular milk for soy, cashew, almond or coconut milk. It’s been in our life all our lives, yet there’s still so many things we don’t know about Ice Cream. So in honor of National Ice Cream day today, we put together a list of some little known facts about the frozen snack, just for you. Ice Cream Cones The cone didn’t appear until 1904, when a Syrian waffle maker at the St. Louis World’s Fair began rolling his pastries into horns to help an ice cream vendor who had run out of dishes. – ECreamery Ice Cream Licks It takes about 50 licks to finish a single scoop ice cream cone. Ice Cream On TV In the early days of television, mashed potatoes were used to simulate ice cream on cooking shows. Real ice cream melted too fast under the heat from the lighting. Ice Cream Flavors According to the International Dairy Foods Association, vanilla is the most popular flavour with 30% of the vote. Chocolate comes in second, with 10%. Chocolate chip, strawberry, cookie dough and coffee, respectively, come in third, fifth, ninth and eleventh place.

KABOOM! Weeks ahead of her forecasted delivery date, Amy Duggar has dropped yet another baby bombshell on Duggar Nation. While this popular family breaks one giant piece of pregnancy news after another, Amy and husband Dillon have made it clear they’re just too anxious and excited to keep one juicy tidbit about their impending child a secret. They simply had to come out this weekend and make the reveal. They had to alert all followers to their son’s first and middle name! “Baby K has a name!!!” Amy wrote as a caption yesterday to the following image, adding: Baby Dax we cannot wait to meet you!! You already bring so much joy into our lives!! We love you so much Daxton Ryan! So there you have it: Daxton. But it sounds like the young man will go by the nickname Dax. Amy has entered her third trimester and is clearly trying to make the most out of her pregnancy. She waited all the way until the age of 32 to start her family — which is perfectly “normal” and would not be noteworthy at all if she were a member of any other family. As a native Duggar, however, she might as well be 92, you know? She’s downright ancient when compared to the ages at which other loved ones have first gotten pregnant. Amy and Dillon got married in Arkansas in of 2015 and announced they were expecting their this past April, initially sharing the news with People Magazine. This is what they told the publication at the time… “We are completely speechless, overly excited and ready for the next chapter as new parents! I’m over the moon about becoming a momma! I just can’t hardly wait. “I’m over the moon about becoming a momma! I just can’t hardly wait.” Ever since making this announcement, Amy has been sharing one baby bump photo after another online with her supporters. Here, for example, is a snapshot of the star at 19 weeks . But nothing may ever beat the image she also shared this weekend of just herself, her face — and that precious belly! Aside from becoming a mother in the very near future, King is also busy with her Springdale, Arkansas business 3130 Clothing. Earlier this month, she announced her brand was expanding to include home goods. “We are taking 2,000 square feet more and we’re gonna be adding home goods, and all kinds of new clothing, a whole wall devoted to our curvy section, all of our girls,” King shared in a July 1 Instagram video. “We’re gonna have a coffee bar, we’re gonna make this place be amazing!” She then wrote in a caption to this footage: “Completely floored by the love and support we have received!! Our customers are simply the best. “We want this new space to be so inviting for womens groups, fundraising opportunities, fun exclusive shop nights, and to shine a light in NWA!” View Slideshow: The Duggars: Who’s Courting? Pregnant? Next In Line? [MORE UPDATES!] As you can see above, meanwhile, Amy is just one of several Duggar women expecting a child later this year or early next year. And we’re not kidding, either. We mean several .
Every single time Farrah opens her big ol’ mouth and speaks, it’s just a magical experience, isn’t it? And by “magical,” of course we mean “painfully, unimaginably dumb.” Though, to be fair, the way Farrah is able to twist reality and the English language really could be considered magical. After all, do you know anyone else who who’s capable of mixing up such impressive word salads? Anyway, Farrah is ridiculous, forever and always, and we all know it. But lately, things have been a bit different for her. She’s been out of Teen Mom OG for a good long while now, and since then, she’s kind of been floating in the wind, right? She did a stint on that MTV dating show, she does appearances now and then, and she’s been very active on social media. There have also been a few more adult ventures — remember when she tried to be a sex therapist on her camgirl site ? However, many, many people think she’s been working as a high class escort . The rumor has been floating around for a few years now, but in the past few months, it’s really picked up. The theory is that being a prostitute is how she manages to do so much traveling and to stay in such expensive resorts , and also how she pays for all the work she’s been getting. Like, we know it’s not her keen business sense that’s paying the bills. And let’s not forget that she’s been in legal trouble a few times in the past year. She owes people a whole lot of money. The prostitute theory has been supported by statements from two of Farrah’s former friends, Myla Sinanaj and Phoebe Price, as well as from her own mother. Just last month, someone asked Debra on Instagram how she felt about Farrah working as an escort, and she responded by saying that “God gave each of us free will.” Lots of sites have been reporting on all of this, and lots of people have been discussing it. Enough that when Farrah and Sophia were spotted at LAX and approached by paparazzi, she addressed it. “People always feed the need to drag hard working people down and wreck their families,” Farrah complained. She called those people “idiots and liars and haters.” She also spotted the opportunity to throw an insult at Jenelle Evans, who also accused her of being a prostitute earlier this month. “She definitely has been making poor choices,” Farrah said of Jenelle, apparently linking her to the “idiots and liars and haters” she discussed just before. “I’m just reacting to the facts,” she added. “She lost custody of her kids … that’s not a positive thing to even have on TV.” A feud between Farrah and Jenelle is just pointless, because they’re both awful and we can’t even root for either of them. Instead of focusing on that part, let’s move right ahead to the past where Sophia also spoke with paparazzi, OK? Sophia, totally of her own free will, spoke about her mother, saying “She’s always positive, she always makes me happy when I’m sad.” “And when we go through things like this type of stuff, everything just turns out fine and haters back off.” She also said “Our most mother daughter thing is vacations and travelling, and we really just have a lot of cute moments together.” As for those haters, had a little message for them: “I hope you get karma later in life. Don’t ever do that again because it’s wrong, and we all know that it’s wrong and that should never happen.” View Slideshow: Farrah Abraham Threatens to MURDER Reporter Who Called Her a Prostitute! Yep, everything’s totally fine for the Abraham girls. Nothing weird or amiss here.
