Did You Know? Hospitals Can Charge You For Holding Your Newborn

For years I’ve wondered why some women were adamant about not having hospital births for their children; now, I know why. Refinery 29 reported the story of a new father who shared a photo on Reddit of his family’s hospital bill after his wife gave birth to their son. Highlighted on the bill was a charge for “skin to skin after c-sec.” “During the C-section, the nurse asked my wife if she would like to do skin to skin after the baby was born. Which of course anyone would say yes too. We just noticed it on the bill today,” halfthrottle captioned his post. According to Fit Pregnancy, skin-to-skin touch between a mother and child is imperative after giving birth because it helps the infant adapt to its post-birth environment and generate the mother’s milk production… [ MadameNoire ] Sephora’s Latest Class Offering Is All About Boosting Your Confidence There’s many reasons why we love beauty retailer Sephora, beginning with all the amazing goods they house in their signature black and white walls. However, the brand that makes us feel beautiful with their plethora of products is giving back and putting a philanthropic spin on the beauty education courses they usually offer. Instead of teaching you how to contour correctly, Sephora has launched what they are calling Classes for Confidence. The course was actually held yesterday in 85 Sephora locations, partnering with local non-profit organizations in each community to offer support and tutelage to women in need. With a goal of enhancing lives and boosting the confidence needed to go out on a job interview or re-enter the workforce, it was a great way to give back to their customers and new ones, too… [ MadameNoire ] Kanye West Fired Entire Staff After Yeezy Season 4 Fashion Show? The Yeezy Season 4 show at Roosevelt Island got less than enthusiastic reviews. Apparently Kanye West also was none too happy with how things went down, and reportedly fired his entire staff after the disastrous event. Well, at least that’s what “sources” says. Reports Page Six: An insider told us that the Yeezy staff seriously felt West’s wrath after his September fashion flop. “He had his agent fire all 30 of his staff after the fashion show and got rid of his phone so people can only contact him via e-mail,” an insider said. “He had a nervous breakdown after the show, and that’s what triggered it all.” But since when has Yeezy kept a phone… [ HipHopWired ] Mike Pence Used Keith Scott’s Shooting To Feed A Flawed Claim About Policing [ Huffington Post ] Diddy Says Bad Boy Is Nothing Without Faith [ TMZ ] Prince’s Paisley Park Museum Temporarily Open To Tourists [ iHeart Radio ] Bankroll PJ On His Relationship With Bankroll Fresh, His Role On FX’s “Atlanta” & Life In 1st Grade [ Baller Alert ]

Lindsay Lohan Nearly Loses Finger in Horrific Accident!

Can Lindsay Lohan catch a break?! She won’t be catching one with her hand for a while now, that’s for sure. As Lindsay Lohan shared earlier today on Snapchat, she had a little boating accident that nearly cost her a finger. “I almost lost my finger from the anchor,” she explained. “Well, I lost half my finger, thank goodness we found the piece of my finger … I just had surgery to fix it … it hurts so bad.” Sounds pretty gnarly, right? She also shared a little video of her injury: Lindsay Lohan Loses Part of Her Finger “This is the result of me trying to help anchor the boat by myself,” she can be heard saying. “My poor finger!” Her poor finger, indeed. It’s not clear what exactly happened — did she lose half of her finger, or were doctors able to reattach it? Did they just reattach a piece of it? What was she doing with an anchor for it to rip her finger off? — but goodness, poor Lindsay. Sadly, this is just the latest in a string of unfortunate, worrisome instances in Lindsay’s life. This summer seemed to be particularly awful for her, thanks to her creep of a fiance, Egor Tarabasov, and his allegedly abusive ways. Back in July, she claimed in a bizarre Instagram post that Egor cheated on her with a “Russian hooker.” Soon after that, she started dropping hints that she was pregnant, and we’re still not really sure what all that was about. The next day, police broke down Lindsay’s door after she stood on her balcony and repeatedly screamed that Egor had strangled her and tried to kill her . No one was there when police arrived. Then, a couple of weeks later, a video emerged of a frightening physical altercation between Lindsay and Egor. The video showed Lindsay from running from Egor with his phone while Egor chased her down and wrestled the phone from her. A few days after that , Lindsay shared a cute little selfie, but all anyone noticed was the gigantic, seriously painful-looking bruise on her arm. And finally, a couple of weeks ago, Lindsay admitted during a Russian interview that she was frightened Egor  “may splash acid in my face.” Thankfully, it seems like Lindsay has left Egor, but, as this new incident proves, there’s still cause to worry about her. The way she’s going, it looks like there always will be.

Kim Kardashian Admits to Family Drama: What Did She Say?

All is not well in the land of Kardashians and Jenners. In fact, all is actually REALLY, REALLY, REALLY bad if certain reports are to be believed. Specifically, we’re talking about reports that state Rob Kardashian is in a very dark place at the moment, feuding with his sisters and eating massive amounts of food. On Monday night, Rob texted something rather unusual and revealing to his 6.65 million followers: The phone number of his sibling! For real! The reality star, angry over what he believed to be a snub of his pregnant fiancee, unveiled Kylie Jenner’s phone number to the online world out of bitterness and anger. “Didn’t invite the Mother of my child to a baby shower you all were trying to throw for me? You all must have lost your damn minds,” Rob wrote after sharing the digits, adding for good measure: “I ain’t hacked either. This is Rob dog lol.” Sources have since confirmed that the phone number posted online really was that of Kylie and that she’s in the process of getting a new one. Rob Kardashian Releases Kylie Jenner Phone Numer This was the backdrop for when Kim sat down with Andy Cohen at The Girls’ Lounge dinner in New York City. In an event that took place a day after the Presidential debate, the Watch What Happens Live host asked if Kardashian was able to watch the back and forth between Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton. (It’s worth noting that Kim hinted last week that she may vote for Trump, only to later clarify that she’s with Clinton .) “I watched a little bit of it but I was on the phone at the same time, a little family drama,” Kim shared with the audience. “Group texting.” And?!? What was the group texting about, Kim?!? We need every last detail! A video posted by Kimmy (@kimsagem) on Sep 27, 2016 at 6:32pm PDT As you might expect, Kim did not provide any. She’s probably waiting for this storyline to play out on an episode of Keeping Up with the Kardashians, Rob & Chyna or both. But sources have told TMZ that Rob has been living apart from Blac Chyna for nearly two months. He’s eating everything in sight, having ballooned back over 300 pounds and is back to being in one of his funks. The family is concerned because Rob has done this before; he’s cut off contact with his loved ones in the past and gone on eating binges, an especially problematic issue for someone with Diabetes. What caused this apparent split from his pregnant fiancee? No one seems to know. It could be anything with these two, really. But Blac Chyna is eight months pregnant. She’s due to give birth any week now. She and Rob can’t afford to be messing around here. There’s an actual child set to enter the picture. View Slideshow: 13 Times Kim Kardashian Suffered from Serious #FirstWorldProblems During Kim’s event, which was held at Pier Sixty, the mother of two star also gushed over the new diamond ring gifted to her recently by Kanye West. She also explained how West helped her develop some thick skin. “I used to look at everything and anything and have Google alerts and just get so upset and go home and cry after something mean being said and now there is nothing anybody can say that can even rattle me,” she admitted. “I’m proud of that, but in a way it’s a little bit sad that that’s the time you live in that people can say the meanest, nastiest things and you can be ok with it.”

Joe Giudice: Prison Is Such A Drag!

Joe Giduice is currently serving a 41-month sentence in prison for at the Federal Correctional Institution in Fort Dix, New Jersey.  He has been in the inside since March and it’s becoming increasingly apparent that he is not having the best time of it. Then again, would anyone actually enjoy prison?  Giudice is away from his wife and children. That’s got to sting a little.  Missing your kids growing up is a horrible punishment for anyone, but it’s his own fault for breaking the law.  “It’s worse than anyone expected,” an insider revealed to Us Weekly.  Teresa got out of prison in December last year, returning to her family just in time for the Christmas.  This also meant she could resume her duties on The Real Housewives of New Jersey.  Another source claimed that Joe “misses his kids so badly,” adds another insider. The source even alleged that Joe grew closer than ever to daughters, Gia, Gabriella, Milania and Audriana while Teresa was holed up in prison.  “He got so close with them when he was with them alone.” That much was all but a given. Going from a two parent family to a one parent one would not have been an easy task, but it sure sounds like he went above and beyond to make sure his daughters were okay.  “He’s having difficulty being away from them.” Joe “sits alone much of the time and is falling into a depression,” says the friend. However, it’s not all doom and gloom for the reality TV star.  “Joe has two friends he plays cards with,” says the source. “They gamble with commissary items.” Being in prison, Joe couldn’t quite keep eating junk food.  Instead, he’s been turning his attention to keeping fit and shedding some weight.  If you watch The Real Housewives of New Jersey online , you’ll know there was a lot of tension between Joe and Teresa before he entered prison.  Well, that’s what the producers would like you to believe.  The scene was so obviously doctored that we’re surprised it made it to the broadcast of the episode.  Have a look at the scene: Teresa Giudice vs. Joe Giudice: See Their Fake Fight! It was blatantly scripted voice overs that were put over the audio.  We did not get to see either Joe or Teresa actually saying anything.  Instead, it was just terrible, choppy scenes and whole lot of dog.  What do you think about all of this?

Brad Pitt: Investigated For Child Abuse!

Brad Pitt is officially under investigation by the LAPD and the Los Angeles County Department of Children and Family Services. This is not a drill. The star allegedly became verbally abusive and physical with his children, the agencies have learned, in an incident last week. That, not a random  Selena Gomez photo or salacious  Marion Cotillard affair , is what reportedly the final straw in his imploding marriage. According to TMZ, sources say this was the very incident that triggered  Jolie to file for divorce from Pitt  days after it happened.  Pitt, Jolie and their six children were on a flight a week ago Wednesday when he is said to have gotten hammered on a private jet. Brad allegedly went wild , screaming and getting physical with the kids, far beyond the point of typical parent-child confrontation. The plane landed at an airport around 8 p.m., at which point witnesses claim Pitt took his rant outside the plane and onto the tarmac. He even tried leaving in one of the fuel trucks. As for how this became an official investigation? Sources say somebody, either on the plane or the tarmac, anonymously reported it. That’s all it takes for an incident to be looked into by the L.A. County Dept. of Children and Family Services, or most state equivalents. It’s a real inquiry; Brad and Angelina have already been interviewed and DCFS plans to interview the kids as well as part of the case. Angelina Jolie Divorces Brad Pitt The investigation is ongoing, and the LAPD has the case, which is routine when anyone reports an allegation of child abuse.  Whether it turns into anything is unclear, and unlikely, unless there’s surefire evidence of Brad being totally abusive and out of control. Yes, there have been rumors of Brad living on whiskey and drinking too much, but so much of what we think we know, we don’t know. We do not know the specifics of the alleged abuse, only that it was both verbal and physical and took place as described above. In the absence of hard proof, and/or Angelina or the children pursuing the matter aggressively, it’s doubtful Brad will be in any trouble. Doubtful, but not impossible. Stay tuned. Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie Divorce: How Much is at Stake? The 52-year-old actor has not commented on the investigation, but a source close to Pitt says the allegations are garbage. “He takes the matter very seriously and says he did not commit any abuse of his children,” the insider tells TMZ, adding:  “It’s unfortunate,” the insider says, the way that “people involved are continuing to present him in the worst possible light.” What do you think? Are you buying it? View Slideshow: Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt: A Romance Retrospective Press coverage and social media rumors run rampant in situations like this, and perhaps never more so than with Brangelina’s split. It’s like the moon landing of celebrity gossip, but with that comes the challenge of trying to formulate any sort of concrete understanding. We may have to wait a long time to know for sure what caused the split, but one explanation seems to be popping up more than most: Brad’s substance abuse, temper, questionable parenting methods and general conflict in lifestyles with Angelina that made her want out. Is that officially what happened? Of course not, but if we’re forced to guess based on the more credible reports, it seems most plausible.

Keith Scott Shooting Leads to Violent Protests in Charlotte

The killing of an allegedly unarmed African-American at the hands of a white police officer has led to a state of emergency in North Carolina. Keith Lamont Scott Shooting Leads to Charlotte Protests, Riots Governor Pat McCrory made this declaration on Thursday morning after protests and riots in the streets of Charlotte turned especially ugly and violent. The National Guard and State Highway Patrol were dispatched to the area after Keith Scott, a 43-year old black man, was shot and killed by officers on Tuesday. According to police, he refused to drop his handgun prior to the fatal incident. According to family members and a witness, Scott was holding a book, not a weapon. This sort of controversial shooting has become all too common across the nation, of course, with Terence Crutcher also being shot and killed in Tulsa this week. Multiple videos of Crutcher’s death have gone public, with neither making it appear as if the 40-year old deserved to be shot: Terence Crutcher: Shot and Killed by Police Terence Crutcher Helicopter Video: What Happened? In response to Scott’s shooting, a peaceful really turned violent yesterday when civilians threw rocks and bottles at police officers. They also broke into Charlotte storefronts and smashed windows along the way. Officers defended themselves with rubber bullets, tear gas, flash-bang grenades and pepper spray. One protester was shot and four police officers suffered non-life threatening injuries, city officials confirmed on Twitter. Wednesday marked the second straight night of unrest in North Carolina’s largest city, following numerous protesters and 16 officers being injured on Tuesday evening. As reported above, the turmoil prompted Governor McCrory to declare a state of emergency in an attempt to restore peace. “Any violence directed toward our citizens or police officers or destruction of property should not be tolerated,” McCrory said in a statement. Bank of America, which is based out of Charlotte, told its employees not to report to work in their uptown offices, while Mayor Jennifer Roberts is considering a city-wide curfew. There have also been protests in Tulsa in response to the Crutcher shooting, although these have remained more calm and civil. The White House has reported that President Barack Obama spoke by telephone on Wednesday with the mayors of Charlotte and Tulsa. Elsewhere, The American Civil Liberties Union is urging police officer to release their camera footage of the Keith Law incident. Roberts said she planned to view the footage on Thursday, yet did not indicate when (or if ) it would be made public. “We call for the full release of all facts available,” said William Barber, president of the state’s chapter of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, in a statement. Earlier in the night, Scott’s wife, Rakeyia, issued her own statement, describing her family as “devastated” and appealing for peace in the city. “We have more questions than answers about Keith’s death,” she said.

Lindsay Lohan on Egor Tarabasov: He Tried to Murder Me!!!

In a new interview, Lindsay Lohan has made it very clear that she is NOT back together with Egor Tarabasov . And for a few very good reasons. Speaking to Russian television’s Channel One, Lohan said she ended her engagement to Tarabasov because she grew afraid for her life around him. In early August, video emerged of an ugly confrontation between Lindsay and Egor . In the footage, Lohan leaps out of a Jeep with Tarabasov’s cell phone while wearing a bathing suit. She is then chased down by her then-fiance, who tries to take the phone out of her hands. Now, via this Russian Q&A, Lohan has elaborated on the sort of dangers she faced while in a relationship with Tarabasov. “I went to bed and he broke into my house. He started strangling me,” she claims, adding in detail: “I feared that Egor may splash acid in my face. I jumped out to the balcony and shouted with all my force, ‘He’s trying to kill me, call the police!’ “I am lucky to come to Moscow to speak.” This is not the first time Lohan has made this accusation against Tarabasov. In late July, neighbors of Lohan’s in London were woken up by the actress (can we still refer to her as that?) screaming on her balcony. She also said at that time that  Tarabasov had strangled her and was trying to murder her . In another video, this one obtained by The Sun, Lohan is spotted in the corner of her balcony, yelling to no one in particular: “He just strangled me. He almost killed me. Please please please. He just strangled me. One could also hear Lohan taunting Egor on this video. “Do it. I dare you again. You’re f-ckig crazy. You sick f*ck,” she bellowed. You need help. It’s my house get out of my house.” Not long after these incidents, a photo of Lohan appeared to depict a giant bruise on her arm. Here it is: Despite these allegations of abuse, there had been talk of late that Lohan was still with Tarabasov. Heck, there had been talk that Lohan was pregnant with Tarabasov’s baby . Neither of these rumors appears to be true. In response to Lohan reiterating the claim that he attempted to end her life, Tarabasov released a statement on Wednesday via the Daily Mail. “It has come to my attention that my former fiancée, Lindsay Lohan, is planning a new smear campaign against me in the Russian and international media,” he said. “My relationship with Lindsay came to an end in July 2016. “In the weeks that followed, there were numerous attempts to discredit my name by inaccurately portraying the nature of our relationship, publishing distorted facts, and making false accusations.” It certainly feels like a very long time ago when Lohan and Tarabasov happily posed for pictures such as the one below, doesn’t it? Back when Lohan first railed against Tarabasov, he says in this statement that he chose to take the higher road. “I decided not to address those harmful and false statements at that time. As an international businessman, I aim to maintain a low profile and concentrate on developing my business. “I also chose to keep my silence out of respect for Lindsay.” But now? Now that Lohan has gone on another record with abuse assertions? “Today, I would like to state that all accusations made, and about to be made, by Lindsay against me are not true,” Ego said. “I refuse to be dragged into the media storm created in the aftermath of our breakup. I will not be making any more statements with regards to my former relationship with Lindsay, but I will use all possible legal means to protect my name and reputation.” Lohan and Tarabosov started dating in 2015 and got engaged in Apri In July, Lohan went on a social media rant against her fiance, accusing him of cheating on her. “Honey, come home, please,” she Tweeted, later adding: “I guess I was the same at 23… S—ty time-it changes at 26/27 @e2505t thanks for not coming home tonight. Fame changes people.” She also made references to Egor being with a “Russian hooker.” Lohan later apologized for airing this grievance in public, although this was pretty clearly the beginning of the end for the couple. We’re shocked that Lindsay Lohan was involved in such a tumultuous relationship. (In all seriousness, though, if Tarabasov laid a hand on her, he’s completely in the wrong.)
