Baby Elephant Plays in Pool, Makes Splash on Web

The Fort Worth Zoo’s baby elephant is already making a splash with Texas children who visit the attraction – and online, where Belle has become a viral star. Baby Elephant Plays in Pool Bell was born July 7, and is the second Asian elephant to be born at the Fort Worth Zoo in 104 years. The staff has quickly been making up for lost time. The kids’ (and adults’ if we’re being honest) fascination with the pachyderm only grew today when officials at the venue added a pool to her enclosure . A small, inflatable pool that’s way too little for even Belle. Cuteness ensued. Watch and swoon above.

Oprah on Paula Deen N-Word Scandal: For Me, It’s Just Sad

Oprah Winfrey befriended Paula Deen in early 2012 and even spent a night at Deen’s Georgia home, where she conducted a wide-ranging interview. Over a year later, in a deposition for a lawsuit, Deen admitted using racial slurs in the past, a revelation that rankled many, including her friend. Until now, Winfrey had remained silent on her friend’s controversy, but addressed it this week during a sit-down of her own for her new film The Butler . Oprah Winfrey on Paula Deen, Racism “In the very first days I tried to reach her and then I decided to stay out of it as I saw it blowing up,” Winfrey told ET this week. “In time she will be fine.” “For me, it all just felt kind of sad.” Oprah’s feelings on the n-word are very clear, but she believes people need to let the “dust settle” before they can have a “real conversation” about race. She says she is well aware of racism today, even if she’s reached the point where at times it’s less overt than for other women who are minorities. “You know, you see those fools on Twitter sometime say ridiculous things,” Winfrey says. “Nobody in their right mind is going to call me the N-word.” “But nobody in their right mind is going to do that to my face, because true racism is being able to have power over somebody else,” Winfrey explains. “So that doesn’t happen to me that way.” “It shows up for me if I’m in a boardroom or situations where I’m the only woman or I’m the only African American person within a hundred mile radius.” “I can see in the energy of the people, they don’t sense that I should be holding one of those seats. I can sense that. But I can never tell, ‘Is it racism? Is it sexism?'” When asked to comment about Deen during another interview with Extra , the 59-year-old laughed and struck a lighter tone than she did with ET. “Oh my god! I don’t have anything to do with Paula Deen ,” she insisted. “She is not the first white lady to use the N-word! Good lord!”

Some Old Head Swirl: Tina Turner Speaks On Her Newlywed Matrimony-dom

Tina looks good. Tina Turner Speaks On Marriage Tina still getting it in at 73. We want to sip from her fountain of youth. Those legs though…. According to US Magazine What’s love got to do with it? Everything! After 27 years together, Tina Turner and music producer Erwin Bach tied the knot in a private ceremony in Switzerland — and now, Turner says, life is perfect. Speaking with Hello! magazine about her recent nuptials, the 73-year-old “Proud Mary” singer gushes that she has finally found nirvana. “It’s that happiness that people talk about, when you wish for nothing, when you can finally take a deep breath and say, ‘Everything is good,’” she says. “It’s a wonderful place to be.” As was her wedding, it seems. Per Hello!, Turner and her longtime love were married in a lavish ceremony at their home on the banks of Lake Zurich, with celebrity guests including Oprah Winfrey and Bryan Adams. The women in attendance were reportedly asked to wear white, while the men donned black tie. Turner, meanwhile, broke from tradition and rocked a stunning black silk tulle and lime-green taffeta gown with Swarovski crystal embellishment. She first spotted the Giorgio Armani frock at a runway show in Beijing, she revealed to Hello!, and she knew immediately she wanted to get it and save it for a special occasion. “I thought, ‘I gotta have that, even if I never wear it,’” the superstar shares. “Then I thought, ‘I know, that will be my wedding dress.’” This is the second marriage for Turner, who was previously wed to musician Ike Turner from 1962 to 1976. Ike, who died from a cocaine overdose in 2007, often physically abused his wife; she documented their turbulent union in the memoir I, Tina. (The couple’s romance was also the inspiration for the 1993 biopic What’s Love Got to Do With It, starring Angela Bassett and Laurence Fishburne.) Turner, an eight-time Grammy winner, became a Swiss citizen earlier this year. She has two kids: 55-year-old Craig, with musician Raymond Hill, and 52-year-old Ronald, with Ike. We wish Tina and her new hubby the best. Continue reading
