Jinger Duggar: Endangering Her Daughter With Bizarre Food Choices?!

If you follow them on social media, then you’re probably aware that the Duggars get mom-shamed on a daily basis. Jinger Duggar is fairly new to this experience, not only because she waited longer than her sisters to have children, but also because she’s more well-liked than they are. But no one is spared the wrath of the internet’s nastiest trolls, and these days it seems the commenters on Jinger’s page are teeing off on her doubly hard to make up for lost time. Jinger, of course, leads a very different lifestyle than Jill, Jessa, or any of the other Duggar moms of her generation. For one thing, she lives in Los Angeles, instead of Arkansas, a culture shock that likely would’ve killed a lesser Duggar. On top of that, Jinger and her husband seem to occasionally enjoy activities outside the home, even though we’re pretty sure there’s something about the sinfulness of women enjoying themselves in Jim Bob’s version of the Bible. Earlier this week, the Vuolos attended a soccer game in which Jeremy’s former team, the New York Red Bulls, took on the local Los Angeles Football Club. That turned out to be a bit of a scandalous affair, as some fans now believe Jinger plans to let her daughter play sports , which is strictly verboten in the Duggar’s world. But it doesn’t hold a candle to the Duggars’ latest outing, in which they dined on ribs at a place with the awesome name of Ribs Against the Machine. And what did fans take issue with this time? Surprisingly, it doesn’t look like anyone had a problem with the family patronizing a business that’s named for an ultra-liberal rap-rock outfit. But several people were outraged by the fact that Jinger and Jeremy allowed their daughter to feast on delicious barbecued meats. There were several reasons for this, with some worrying that Jinger would choke on a bone. (As though Jinger and Jeremy aren’t smart enough to pull the meat off with their fingers and feed it to her.) Others took issue with … the way rib meat is raised? Is this a thing? “Please think about that animal that was badly beaten in the face then shot, so you could post a picture of your daughter on Instagram eating ribs,” one user wrote. “These religions guide humans to respect all life, not to destroy living beings around us,” added another. Fortunately, this was one of those times when Jinger had more supporters than detractors: “How do you know for certain where and how this restaurant even gets their meat products,” one user responded. “Ribs are amazing! Looks like she enjoyed!” echoed another. You know what, folks, the Duggars may have a lot of controversial religious and political beliefs. But we don’t want to live in a world where everyone can’t agree that ribs are delicious! View Slideshow: Jinger Duggar Shares Adorable Pics of Her “Little Family,” Melts Fans’ Hearts

United Negro College Fund Teams Up With Cengage To Provide HBCU Students With Access To Free Textbooks

T he rising cost of higher education has created financial burdens for several students throughout the country. According to a study conducted by Morning Consult , four in 10 students skipped meals to be able to afford textbooks and course materials and three in 10 students decided to opt out of a course due to the high price of required textbooks. The United Negro College Fund has teamed up with the tech-ed company Cengage to address the growing issue through the creation of a program that will provide HBCU students with free access to textbooks. Black students have been significantly impacted by the expensive cost of textbooks. Research shows that 60 percent of African American students decided not to purchase textbooks because the prices were too high, and 52 percent say that the cost affects their finances. Furthermore, 32 percent of Black students have to sacrifice trips home to spend time with their loved ones so they can pay for their textbooks. Through the program, UNCF and Cengage will select 1,000 students to have free access to Cengage’s digital subscription platform which features over 22,000 eBooks and other course materials. “Every student should have an equal opportunity to succeed, and having the right learning materials can have a critical impact on performance,” Michael Hansen , CEO, Cengage, said in a statement. “The high cost of textbooks have prohibited this for many students. This is why we launched Cengage Unlimited – to make quality learning more affordable. UNCF has helped thousands of learners, enabling opportunity for minority students through its financial support and public advocacy. We are proud to partner with UNCF to ease some of the financial burden these students face and ensure they are equipped with the tools they need to reach their full potential.” The leadership team at UNCF believes that this initiative will be instrumental in alleviating the financial burdens faced by HBCU students. “We must continue to invest our time and money in better futures for young people around the country. Partners like Cengage are vitally important to this work and we are pleased to have them as an ally in helping to educate the next generation of leaders,” said Dr. Michael L. Lomax , President and CEO of UNCF. Several efforts are being made to help HBCU students better their financial situations. Morehouse College recently launched a fund to help alumni eliminate their student loan debt.

The Inspiration To Create ‘Hair Love’ Came From The Lack Of Representation Of Black Father & Daughters

More here:

Source: Sony Pictures Animation / Sony Pictures Animation When the visuals for Matthew A. Cherry’s Hair Love came across our computer screen, we rejoiced at imagery that showed a Black father and daughter in such a positive light. It was the representation we rarely see, even if it is a cartoon. MUST READ:  Animated Short Film ‘Hair Love’ Celebrates Black Father & Daughter Relationships Hair Love , an animated short film about a father who takes on the battle of doing his daughter’s hair, will premiere ahead of The Angry Birds 2 movie in theaters this weekend, broadcasting the image in front of millions of children and families. We caught up with director Matthew A. Cherry and producer Peter Ramsey, who both opened up about creating the animated short and why it is important for all to see. HelloBeautiful: What inspired you to create Hair Love? Matthew:  I was seeing a lot of viral videos of African-American dads doing their daughter’s hair hitting the timeline and I always like to share family friendly stuff like that. They were going extra viral, 100K retweets, and I would always share videos of moms interacting with their kids too and it would do OK but never as big as that. Obviously they were cute videos but I would come to learn later that part of it was that people weren’t used to seeing these images of African-American fathers doing these type of interactions with their kids (especially when the hair would be moving and breaking rubber bands and hitting dad in the eye). The idea of hair having a mind of its own was the linchpin that created this idea. HB: How does it feel to finally have your work being shown on such a massive platform after so much work to get it made and funded? Matthew:  It’s kind of surreal. This literally started with an idea through Kickstarter and for it to be a New York Times best selling book and now about to be in theaters across the country is pretty crazy. It’s definitely surreal. I just really hope that it inspires other creators. Sometimes i think we waste so much time reaching out to people thinking that they have to help us with our ideas and help move them forward and sometimes all you have to do is put it out there and take that risk and bet on yourself and trust that you can raise the money yourself and get the idea to other likeminded creatives that will be able to help you with it and bring it to market. HB: How was it for you to be involved in the short film and taking on the role as Executive Producer? How was that process for you?  Peter: It was great because from minute one, I believed in Matthew. I knew he was a really talented, energetic, inspiring guy in his work and in his life. I got to see the story he wanted to tell and it felt like it was right for the time, its got its heart in the right place, it’s going to really speak to people, all of those things made it really easy for me. Really I’ve just been a cheerleader. I’ve just been doing whatever I could, whether it’s advice or encouragement or whatever little thing I could offer to help move it down the line. It’s Matthew and a fantastic team of really talented people working on it that have really brought it to life. Matthew:  Yeah, Bruce Smith, Everett Downing, Stacey Newton, Monica Young, Karen Toliver. It’s a great team. Peter : It’s been a whole lot of work and whole lot of love What did you learn about fatherhood in the process?  Peter:  I have three kids. I’ve experienced a lot of moments like this. I think from this film specifically, the thing that jumps out at me is a lot of it is about people supporting each other in family. You can see everybody in this family in some way shape or form has supported each other. It’s about the idea of a father listening to his daughter and her communicating something that’s really important to her and him understanding why it’s so important and doing what he can to help her express who she is and what she feels. I think that’s a huge part of what drives this movie and makes it feel special. It might not be something you think about watching it but that’s what’s under the surface. That part of a parent/child relationship I think is something people need to pay a lot of attention to and think about that because even the smallest kid is still a real person deserving respect and being allowed to express themselves.

Jed Wyatt Hopes Young Men Learn From His Cold-Hearted Idiocy

Jed Wyatt made a very small mistake during his time on The Bachelorette. He slept with a woman prior to leaving for the show … told this woman that he loved her… never broke up with her… and then never told Hannah Brown that this woman existed. When Brown learned the truth, two days after she accepted an engagement ring from Wyatt, she pulled the plug on this romance. Now, a few weeks after the dramatic Bachelorette finale aired and Wyatt was exposed as total liar and douche canoe, Jed says he just wants to be viewed as a role model. He says he hopes young men out there can learn from all the ways he went wrong. Talking late last week to friend Haley Ringo on the talk show LAnded Late Night, Wyatt was asked where he hopes to be in five months. Once all this controversial dust settles, does Wyatt have any hopes for where he’ll be? Mentally? Physically? Spiritually? “I want to be just an all-around better person,” he said in response, adding in greater detail: “I mean, leading into the show, I just really felt like I did know who I was, you know, but I learned so much from this. From the mistake, from the journey, the whole — I learned so much. “I want to apply it to my life. “Like I said on the podcast, I do want to focus on my spiritual and mental health. I want to be surrounded with my friends, do fun things, fish a lot, sing, the things that make me who I am. I want to do all of that.” That sounds great and everything It even sounds like Jed has maybe learned something throughout this ordeal. But here’s the thing; All he had to do was break things off withh is girlfriend back home before going on a show specifically designed to help him find a wife. That doesn’t seem like a lesson anyone needs to learn ; it should just be innate, you know? (Also: Do not bash this girlfriend several months later , dude.) Stepping up way high on a soapbox, Wyatt later said in this same interview that he wants others out there to NOT follow his example. He wants them to learn from his sins. “To other guys out there who – they’re just out having a good time, they’re young and they’re having fun… I would want them to kind of see and understand that you never know when you’re gonna meet your person,”  he said. Expressing regret over losing Hannah, he continued: “Could be today, could be tomorrow, could be ten years from now, but the person that you are leading into that means everything. I want to help other guys see that. “You just never know and there’s no better feeling than looking at someone and know that that is your person. You can mess that up by playing with other people’s emotions.” Hannah, of course, is actually single right now and recently admitted that she’s struggling . So if Jed were really serious, it could conceivably make a move to get back together with her. But we doubt she’d go for that, even if Wyatt did sound contrite on ABC’s After the Final Rose special. “First and foremost, from the bottom of my heart, I want you to know that I’m sorry,” he told her after getting dumped. “Apparently, they’ve already shown where I half apologized but, especially in hindsight, now that I’ve had time to review myself and my past and my behaviors towards not only you but other people, I fully see that I wasn’t the best that I could be. “And by lacking details to you, the things that you deserve, and the things that you want, it kind… ruined what we found here in a place that I never would have expected to find love like this with someone that I wanted to spend the rest of my life with. “And I know that you felt the same and I’m sorry that I took away that experience from you. I’m sorry that this has hurt your family, your friends, Bachelor Nation, everyone, my family, I’m sorry. “I’m responsible for this. I will own up to it all day.” View Slideshow: The Bachelorette Stars: Where Are They Now?

Finally Yes, folks, it’s all happening! Jenelle Evans is finally launching her makeup line! But some fans are still skeptical that the products will actually be made available to the public. 2. Looking Back Jenelle, of course, has been teasing the release of her makeup line for YEARS now, and a pattern has emerged in her promotional efforts. 3. Makeup Shake-Ups It goes something like this: Jenelle announces a vague launch schedule (a certain month or season); said month or season comes and goes; Jenelle never explains why the launch didn’t happen. 4. But This Time … This time, however, things are somewhat different, in that Jenelle has announced a specific date for the release of her long-, long-awaited makeup line. 5. Start Getting In Line Now! According to announcements made on her Instagram page and some event called Miami Swim Week, JE Cosmetics will be available for purchase on September 19! 6. Inauspicious Start Unfortunately, the launch is already off to a rocky start, as the announcement has been deleted from Jenelle’s Instagram page. View Slideshow

What’s OBJ ever do to him? Either way 50 decided to troll the R&B crooner and NFL wide receiver over the weekend when he took to IG to announce he had blocked the Cleveland Brown for posing in his Calvin Klein drawers as part of his deal with the clothing brand. Posting the pic of OBJ in his CK underwear, 50 captioned the post saying, “ok you blocked nigga, I told @treysongz don’t be doing shit like this no more and here you go.” View this post on Instagram ok you blocked nigga, I told @treysongz don’t be doing shit like this no more and here you go. #lecheminduroi #bransoncognac A post shared by 50 Cent (@50cent) on Aug 12, 2019 at 10:38am PDT Kinda surprising that this is coming from a man who once bubbled G-Unit tank tops with what many said were bra straps.

Kristen Bell’s Scary Old Fat Arms of the Day

I know this is hard to see amongst her titty with a potentially puffy nipple…but Kristen Bell, the 40 year old mom, married to a fucking annoying loser, has some real fucking gnarly ass arms… I don’t think I ever watched Kristen Bell in anything other than Forgetting Sarah Marshall, where she only stood out as being the “why the fuck would anyone be broken up over this bitch”…and the “how could he hook up with her when he’s got Mila Kunis who was looking her best at the time all over him”….it was a reminder that we were watching a comedy cuz in any normal world replacing some ugly bitch with a hot bitch grows you a set of balls that allows you to say “fuck off” to the ugly bitch… That said, I don’t have any interest in her recent re-do of some shitty show I never watched, but she’s doing press for it, so all of a sudden she matters again, and in mattering again we have to see her fucking old lady arms that we’d rather see her use to fly away on….but instead she’s acting like they aren’t fucking gross and flabby and old…wearing a fucking sex sleeveless dress…shouldn’t someone advise her?? Doesn’t she have a team? I guess they are only paid to Praise her…. Either way, gross. TO SEEE THE REST OF THE PICS CLICK HERE JOIN THE NEWSLETTER YOU ASSHOLES!

Liam Hemsworth Bares True Feelings About Miley Split, Warns Against Fake News

Over the weekend, the world was stunned when Liam Hemsworth and Miley Cyrus separated after only about eight months of marriage. Now, Liam is releasing his first-ever official, solo statement about the breakup. You can tell that he’s still reeling from the split. Their relationship has lasted, off and on, for a full decade. It’s understandable that he’s deep in his feelings. The 29-year-old actor took to Instagram to share a heartfelt message about this incredibly personal, difficult subject. “Hi all,” Liam’s caption begins. “Just a quick note to say that Miley and I have recently separated,” he confirms. (Wouldn’t it be wild if someone found out from that post and had totally missed the news for the past several days?) “And,” Liam continues. “I wish her nothing but health and happiness going forward.” Liam goes on to emphasize that “this is a private matter.” “And,” he reveals. “I have not made, nor will I be making, any comments to any journalists or media outlets.” Now that is very interesting to hear, as we’ll explain in a moment. “Any reported quotes attributed to me are false,” Liam insists. He then concludes his caption with a warm: “Peace and Love.” That’s interesting, because a report recently claimed that Liam had spoken to an entertainment news correspondent. “You don’t understand what it’s like,” Liam allegedly said to the reporter. He is said to have then insisted: “I don’t want to talk about it, mate.” That sentiment is extremely understandable. But it sounds like Liam is claiming that he never said those words to any journalist. Miley released her own vague statement on social media in the wake of the couple’s separation going public. “Don’t fight evolution, because you will never win,” Miley wrote. She continued: “Like the mountain I am standing on top of, which was once under water, connected with Africa , change is inevitable.” “The Dolomites were not created over night,” Miley remarks. “it was over millions of years that this magnificent beauty was formed.” The Dolomites are, of course, a mountain range located in northeastern Italy. An official rep for the erstwhile couple also released an official statement. “Liam and Miley have agreed to separate at this time,” the statement began. “Ever-evolving, changing as partners and individuals, they have decided this is what’s best while they both focus on themselves and careers,” the rep continued. “They still remain dedicated parents to all of their animals they share,” the statement affirmed. ‘”While lovingly taking this time apart,” the rep concludec. “Please respect their process and privacy.” Miley and Liam began dating in 2009, and first became engaged only a few years later. Clearly, this is hadly the first time that the two have split — one of their breakups was famously the inspiration for “Wrecking Ball.” Many fans had hoped that their getting married meant that they had worked out any issues, but apparently they hadn’t tackled everything . And the story of their separation has only been complicated by Miley Cyrus gal pal-ing around with Kaitlynn Carter . View Slideshow: 21 Most Stunning Splits in Celebrity History
