Kailyn Lowry Responds to Breastfeeding Backlash: Who Cares?!?

Kailyn Lowry has something in common with Gisele Bundchen: Both have been criticized for breastfeeding their children in public. The Teen Mom star recently pulled out a boob for her 10-month old son, Lincoln, during a signing of her new book, “Pride Over Pity.” At first, Lowry tells Life & Style, those in the vicinity gave her props, telling Kailyn she’s a “pro” and applauding the move. The next day, however, Lowry noted a handful of hurtful comments posted online. “They wrote, ‘Oh my God, that’s so disgusting. Why would you do that?” Lowry tells the tabloid. “I got a lot of heat for it. But I’m feeding my kid. Who cares? “I think it’s crazy and unbelievable that anyone would be offended by breastfeeding.” But they are, of course. This issue has grown into a polarizing one on the Internet. Remember Lucy Eades and the discrimination she took for breastfeeding her child in a public place? Cases such as hers are the reason why this breastfeeding ad campaign was created by women in Texas, as they attempt to fight back against anyone who dares call out a mother simply doing her job as a parent. Where do you stand on this topic? Do you think it’s anyone’s business what a mother does to provide nutrients for her child? Celebrity Breastfeeding Pictures 1. Gisele Bundchen Breastfeeding Gisele Bundchen breastfeeding and getting all made up for a modeling shoot. That is some impressive multitasking right there. NOTE : You can watch Teen Mom online via TV Fanatic for plenty more from Lowry and her costars.

Against The Grain: Always Angry August Alsina Gets Into It With North Carolina Club Promoter [VIDEO]

“You ninjas wanna go against the m-f’n grain after I TOLD you…” August Alsina Has Loud Argument With Club Promoter What is with all these ladies’ men fighting with promoters in the club these days??? August Alsina has never been one to mince words and doesn’t exactly shy away from an altercation . This time, the constantly pissed-off crooner’s fury was directed at a club promoter who he felt “played him” during a North Carolina club appearance. Peep the video: Via TheShadeRoom : The argument was over the fact that the promoter wanted August to get on the microphone and acknowledge his fans. August told the promoter that he did not feel like it and he just wanted to chill and be laid back for the night. His response left a bitter taste in the promoter’s mouth and almost immediately the promoter grabbed the mic to put August Alsina on blast in front of the entire club. The promoter said that he encountered very few Celebs who wouldn’t at least acknowledge the fans on the mic during a paid appearance. August did end up getting on the mic, but only to curse out the promoter for putting him on blast! SMH. Why is this guy always so damn crabby?!?!

Countdown To Lockdown: Former New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin To Begin 10-Year Prison Sentence

Sayonara Nagin… Former Mayor Ray Nagin On His Way To Prison After being found guilty on bribery and money laundering charges , the time has come for Ray Nagin to report to the clink. Via HuffPost : Former New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin was due to report to federal prison on Monday to begin serving a 10-year sentence for corruption during the years when the city was struggling to recover from the devastation wrought by Hurricane Katrina. Nagin, a Democrat, was thrust into the national spotlight in 2005, when Katrina overwhelmed levees and flooded 80 percent of New Orleans, killing 1,500 people and causing some $80 billion in damage. He is due to serve his time at a federal prison in Texarkana, Texas, according to television station WDSU. Nagin, 58, plans to appeal his conviction. He has said in court filings that he is nearly penniless, and has been granted a court-appointed lawyer. The onetime cable company executive who served as New Orleans’ mayor from 2002-2010 was convicted on 20 criminal counts including bribery, conspiracy and money laundering, all tied to payments he received for granting city contracts. Seeking re-election in 2006, Nagin, a black politician who had enjoyed strong support from both black and white voters, seemed to adopt a racially divisive tone, urging residents to rebuild a “chocolate New Orleans,” referring to its majority black population. Under federal sentencing rules, Nagin would serve about 8-1/2 years in prison with good behavior. SMH.

Missing NYC Model Ataui Deng Found Alive At Hospital Via NBC New York reports: Ataui-Deng Hopkins was found Monday at an area hospital, 12 days after she was last seen leaving the rooftop XVI Lounge on West 48th Street near Eighth Avenue on Aug. 6, according to the NYPD.

Celebrities including Rihanna also tweeted her photo during the search. Hopkins’ friend, celebrity chef Roble Ali, said she had disappeared before for a day or two when she felt like she needed space.

Rick Perry: Indicted For Abuse of Power, Coercion of Public Servant

A grand jury indicted Texas Gov. Rick Perry on Friday for abusing the powers of his office, but the longest-serving governor in state history denies any wrongdoing. Perry allegedly abused the powers of the governor’s office by carrying out a threat to veto funding for state prosecutors investigating public corruption. He promised publicly to nix $7.5 million in funding over two years for the public integrity unit run by the office of Travis County D.A. Rosemary Lehmberg. This threat took place after Lehmberg, a Democrat, was convicted of drunken driving last year, but refused Perry’s calls to resign from her position. No one disputes that Perry is allowed to veto measures approved by the Legislature, as he did in following through on his promise to axe the funds. By using public pressure to boast that he would do so as a means of trying to Lehmberg to quit, however, the grand jury felt he broke the law. Perry, 64, and his legal team adamantly disagree. Mary Anne Wiley, Perry’s general counsel, predicted he will be cleared of the charges against him, and thinks the exercise is largely a political stunt. “The veto in question was made in accordance with the veto authority afforded to every governor under the Texas Constitution,” said Perry’s counsel. David L. Botsford, Perry’s defense attorney, said he was outraged by what he called “political abuse of the court system” with “no legal basis.” Lehmberg, and the grand jury that indicted Perry, are based in Austin, which is heavily Democratic, in contrast to most of the rest of conservative Texas. Abuse of official capacity is a first-degree felony with potential punishments of 5-99 years in prison. Coercion of a public servant carries 2-10 years. In office since 2000, Perry isn’t seeking re-election in November as he readies for what many believe will be second run for the White House in 2016. When he ran for president in 2012, Perry plummeted from brief front-runner for the Republican nomination to national punchline after a series of gaffes. None greater than his infamous “oops” moment: Rick Perry Photos & Clips 1. Rick Perry Stumbles in Debate Rick Perry’s campaign for president is probably done for after this almost comically bad performance in last night’s debate. OOPS.

SMH: Direct TV Sued After Registered Sex Offender Serviceman Takes Pervy Pictures Of 12-Year-Old Girl While Installing Cable

Family Sues Direct TV For Hiring Registered Sex Offender Cable giant Direct TV is facing a lawsuit from a family who is livid that the company hired a registered sex offender who ended up taking photos of their 12-year-old daughter during an installation service visit. via Huffington Post A Dallas family has sued satellite television provider DirecTV after a man making a service call at their home was found to be a registered sex offender who took photos of their 12-year-old daughter, their lawyer said on Friday. DirecTV said the man had absolutely no affiliation with the company and was brought to the house by a contractor, who has since been fired for violating company policy, spokeswoman Jade Ekstedt said in an email. Wahren Scott Massey, 48, was arrested as a result of the August 2012 incident. Massey pleaded guilty in October to attempted indecency with a child and attempted sexual performance of a child for the pictures he took of the girl. He was sentenced to four years in prison, according to legal documents. The family said in court documents Massey went into a room where their daughter, who was 12 at the time, was alone. The daughter, who is a gymnast, was stretching and said Massey asked to take photos of her on his cell phone with her legs in the air, according to the police report. When Massey left the room, the victim told her mother, who called police. Officers performed a background check on Massey, discovered he had been a registered sex offender in Texas since 1998, and issued a criminal trespass warning. This perv should be ashamed. SMH. Do you think registered sex offenders should be allowed to obtain jobs where they service homes?

Thieves Jack $1 Million In Designer Items From Texas Woman’s 2-Story Closet After She Shows Off On GMA

Everybody gotta stunt. SMH. Thieves Steal $1 Million In Luxury Goods From Texas Home After National News Appearance As the old saying goes, “a fool and his money are soon parted.” A former Texas beauty queen learned this the hard way after flexing her luxury items all over national news and attracting thirsty thieves to her home. Via MailOnline : Just weeks after her luxurious ‘she cave’ became national news, someone has robbed former Mrs. Texas United America of nearly $1 million in jewelry, bags, and valuables. Theresa Roemer said she and her husband were only gone 90 minutes for dinner at a country club just two blocks away, but they came home to broken glass and empty shelves. The robbery bears all the markings of being perpetrated by a professional thief. It appears the robber gained entrance by using a glass cutter to get into the bathroom. The intruder was likely small, based on the size of the hole. ‘I have 16 cameras on this house and there’s no footage of him anywhere around the house – nowhere,’ Roemer told the Montgomery County Police Reporter. ‘It had to be out that dark back corner of the house and out the back gate to the golf course.’ Surveillance footage recorded a small man dressed entirely in white and wearing gloves in the house, taking four trips to move all the goods outside. The Roemers did not turn on their security system since they were only going a short distance, but did lock the house. Theresa Roemer told police she saw an unfamiliar Hispanic man in his late teens outside her gate earlier, but assumed he lived in the neighborhood. ‘They took everything,’ Roemer said. ‘They took all my jewelry, all my watch collections, my husband’s watch collections, my Birkin collection. They literally walked out with between $800,000 and a million dollars’ worth of stuff.’ Well whose fault is that? Flexing goes wrong far more often than it goes well. If she had kept her business to herself, she’d still have all her Rolies and Birkins sitting right where she left them. SMH.

Miley Cyrus Honors Late Dog, Gets New Tattoo

Miley Cyrus has some fresh ink. The singer and a couple friends paid homage to Miley’s late dog, Floyd, over the weekend, etching themselves with a tattoo in his honor. It includes the canine’s face and it reads: “With a little help from my fwends.” The tattoo arrives just a week after Cyrus debuted her latest furry friend addition, Emu . “Never will I replace Floyd, and that’s something I had to take time to understand,” Cyrus wrote on Instagram late last month. “We had a very special memorial service for Floyd, and I felt my angel Floydy give Emu his blessing.” Poor Floyd was killed by a coyote a few months ago, with Cyrus mourning the dog in public for a long time. She even sang to a statue of his likeness in concert. Miley Cyrus Mourns Dead Dog What do you think of Miley’s new ink? Will she come to regret it, like many of the following stars might in regard to their tattoos? 20 Tattoos These Celebrities May One Day Regret 1.
