  • Nikki Haley: Could Stance On Confederate Flag Help Her Chances Of Becoming Vice President?

    Nikki Haley, the popular governor of South Carolina, has long been a name which many thought could end up on a ticket as a vice-presidential candidate.

    But, some say Nikki Haley‘s handling of the massacre of nine South Carolina Christians at Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church last month and the subsequent removal of the Confederate flag from the South Carolina Statehouse could push her even further up the list.

    Nikki Haley was on Meet the Press last Sunday to talk about the importance of the symbolic gesture.

    She said, “I think it meant a lot of things to a lot of different people. What I can tell you was it felt like a massive weight had been lifted off South Carolina. We can truly say it’s a new day in South Carolina.”

    Nikki Haley added, “It was emotional. You know, I think that it was hard for me to look at that flag coming down and not think about the Emanuel Nine, not think about those nine people who took in someone that didn’t look like them, didn’t sound like them, and accepted him and prayed with him for an hour [before he shot them]. It is hard for us to not think about those nine people.”

    While Nikki Haley’s extraordinary handling of the tragedy has thrust her into the spotlight, she is reluctant to acknowledge the new life that has been injected into her political career in light of what happened to get her all the new attention.

    Counting our blessings for family this Fourth of July weekend…

    When Nikki Haley was asked about how she feels about all the attention, she simply said that it was “painful” because “nine people died in Charleston.”

    Nikki Haley is already close friends with many of the Republican candidates who have entered the field.

    For instance, Nikki Haley campaigned for Scott Walker in his 2011 recall election. Scott Walker then returned the favor by campaigning for Nikki Haley’s 2013 reelection.

    Nikki Haley is also buddies with New Jersey Governor Chris Christie, South Carolina Senator Lindsey Graham, and Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal.

    Do you think Nikki Haley’s handling of the tragedy and flag removal helped her chances of becoming someone’s VP?

  • Sonja Morgan Is Furious With Ramona And Bethenny For Talking Behind Her Back

    Sonja Morgan is shocked and hurt that the women she thought were her friends spent a good deal of time talking about her behind her back.

    Sonja Morgan invited the ladies from The Real Housewives of New York on a trip to Turks and Caicos to celebrate the end of her bankruptcy case. In a blog post on Bravo, Sonja Morgan expressed disbelief that the women so easily betrayed her.

    Sonja Morgan said, “They just can’t be happy for me and feel the need to continuously try to keep me down. But despite their negativity, I am still in my house, raising a beautiful, smart daughter, and flourishing professionally.”

    She added, “I cannot believe that conversation between Bethenny and Ramona! Watching the two of them coming together to express concern for my well-being–while not discussing the issues with me–was shocking.”

    She also stated, “They both continuously said that they were concerned for me and that I have a drinking problem.”

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DC7Gsw9Px5U

    I thought every “real housewife” has a drinking problem. Anyway, Sonja Morgan is not thrilled that the status quo talking-behind-peoples’-backs think happened to her this time.

    More #TurksandCaicos tonight at 9pm on #Bravo ! Who's watchin?? #RHONY

    Besides, Sonja Morgan thought that she had rid the house of those drinking rumors in Atlantic City.

    Sonja Morgan continued, “Ramona knows me very well, which is why I am so hurt hearing her say to Bethenny that I am my own worst enemy. She is validating what the other girls are saying when she knows very well that I am a responsible person. She even said when we were alone that the other girls have no idea what they’re talking about!”

    TONIGHT #TurksandCaicos continues… 9pm on #Bravo #RHONY

    She added, “And yet when she is talking to Bethenny, she gives a completely different story. That was tough to watch.”

    Friendship is a fickle thing, I guess. Especially if you’re on a reality show.

    What do you think will happen on the reunion show between Sonja Morgan and the women she thought were her friends?

  • Kate Steinle: Brother Wants Trump To Stop “Sensationalizing” Her Death

    Kate Steinle has a brother who is unhappy with Donald Trump.

    Kate Steinle is the woman who was randomly shot to death as she walked with her family on a San Francisco pier by an illegal immigrant who had already been deported several times.

    Donald Trump has repeatedly used the death of Kate Steinle to prove his controversial remarks about illegal immigrants not being the best that other countries have to offer.

    However, Kate Steinle’s brother, Brad, is not very happy about it.

    Kate Steinle’s brother told CNN, “Donald Trump talks about Kate Steinle like he knows her. I’ve never heard a word from his campaign manager, I’ve never heard a word from him. It’s disconcerting.”

    He added, “I don’t want to be affiliated with someone who doesn’t have the common courtesy to reach out and ask about Kate, and our political views and what we want.”

    Trump has latched on to the case, describing Juan Francisco Lopez-Sanchez as one of these unsavory types that cross the border and do harm to American citizens and has slammed San Francisco for being a so-called “sanctuary city”.

    Kate Steinle’s brother, when asked if he felt his sister was being “used” by Trump, said, “In a way, yes.”

    He added, “Sensationalizing it is not the route we would like to go. If you’re going to use somebody’s name and you’re going to sensationalize the death of a beautiful young lady, maybe you should call and talk to the family first and see what their views are.”

    Brad added that Trump’s views on immigration were “not rational” and “not common sense.”

    However, it seems Brad and Kate Steinle’s parents have a different view of the incident and wish for a different outcome.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=maWKeauUVM4

    Kate Steinle’s mom and dad, Liz Sullivan and Jim Steinle, were on The O’Reilly Factor Monday to discuss the outcome they wish to have for the horrible death of their daughter.

    Jim Steinle said, “You can’t prepare for anything like this, but it was astonishing. And it is astonishing, and we are hoping to carry this forward. We’re hoping for some good to come out of all of this.”

    Jim Steinle said that he would support Bill O’Reilly’s petition for “Kate’s Law”. In honor of Kate Steinle, the law would impose a five-year federal prison sentence on illegal immigrants who are deported and then re-enter the U.S. illegally.

    He said, “We’re just a little tired of the finger-pointing and just want to see some action. And if ‘Kate’s Law’ saves one person, then it’s all for good.”

    What do you think about Kate Steinle’s death? Do you think the parents have the right idea about supporting “Kate’s Law”?

  • Rosie O’Donnell Lists Huge Estate For $7 Million

    Rosie O’Donnell has listed her huge Saddle River, New Jersey estate for just a little under $7 million.

    The house, which was just purchased back in 2013 by Rosie O’Donnell and her wife, Michelle Rounds, is a sprawling estate on 5.5 acres with six bedrooms.

    They split shortly after.

    Rosie O’Donnell and her brood likely enjoyed the home, which had pool with a waterfall, a plunge pool, and a Jacuzzi. The property also features a three-car garage and artist’s studio. You know, just in case.

    Rosie O’Donnell reportedly moved to Saddle River, New Jersey from Nyack, New York, to be closer to a special school for her son, Blake, who has an auditory processing disorder.

    Rosie O’Donnell got a deal on the estate when she paid $6.375 million for the home, which was originally listed for $9.2 million.

    If you’re interested in Rosie O’Donnell’s giant Saddle River home, there are about $30,000 in taxes to consider, as well.

    Rosie O’Donnell has been selling off all of her houses lately, beginning with her Sarasota, Florida gulf-front home for $5.3 million.

    pure joy !!!

    A photo posted by Rosie ODonnell (@rosie) on

    Late last year Rosie O’Donnell sold her beautiful Greenwich Village duplex for $9 million.

    All of this real estate business comes after Rosie O’Donnell left The View in February after a health scare and divorce announcement.

    Rosie O’Donnell‘s rep, Cindi Berger, said back then of her sudden departure, “She’s focused on her kids now. This is the right thing for her to do. The stress of a daily live talk show is a lot, and the separation is a lot, and you reach a certain point where you have to put health and family first. And she has.”

    She continued, “She had a wake up call in 2012, a near fatal heart attack, and her doctors told her, ‘You have to take care of yourself, you have five children.’ Reliving her heart attack as she went through the editing process of her [HBO] heart documentary was sobering for her.”

    What do you think of Rosie O’Donnell selling off all her property? Where do you think she’ll settle down?

  • Donnie Wahlberg Thinks Jenny McCarthy’s Hot Pink ‘Do Is “Beautiful”

    Donnie Wahlberg was likely just as surprised as everyone else when Jenny McCarthy debuted her new hot pink hair on Tuesday.

    Of course, Donnie Wahlberg is going to love the way Jenny looks, no matter what she does.

    On the Today show, when Jenny debuted her new look for Kathie Lee and Hoda, she described how it came to be.

    She said, “This morning I woke up and I said, ‘I’m feeling pink.’”

    She added, “There’s [always] bleach!”

    Thank you to my amazing hair & makeup team this morning! @juliusmichael1 & @mspriscillanyc

    A photo posted by Jenny McCarthy (@jennyannmccarthy) on

    McCarthy also said, “I’m very much about the present moment. This is something I’ve wanted to do forever, but I’ve always been told by networks and bosses, ‘Don’t do it.’ But you know what, before I’m 80 — like Barbara Walters isn’t going to dye her hair this color! I’m still at that age where I can get away with it for like a month.”

    She also explained Donnie Wahlberg’s reaction, saying, “I showed him this morning quickly and he’s like, ‘You look beautiful.’”

    Of course, Donnie Wahlberg and Jenny McCarthy are ridiculous when it comes to each other, as will be witnessed on their show Donnie Loves Jenny.

    Only 1 more week until #donnielovesjenny!

    A photo posted by Jenny McCarthy (@jennyannmccarthy) on

    Jenny McCarthy gushed that they even “FaceTime sleep” when Wahlberg is on tour or she is out of town for work.

    “He’s on the pillow [next to me] — I sleep and I hear him snore. And we sleep that way on the road.” she explained.

    Ok, that’s just weird.

    As crazy as Jenny and Donnie Wahlberg are for each other, it was still Jenny’s hair that stole the show.

    This seems to be a trend lately, what with Kelly Ripa‘s antics and all.

    Who do you think will be next? And do you agree with Donnie Wahlberg that Jenny’s new hot pink hair is beautiful?

  • Jennifer Garner And Ben Affleck Still Wear Rings: Is There Hope?

    Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck shocked the world late last month when the dream Hollywood couple announced that they were divorcing after ten years of marriage and three children.

    Shortly after the announcement, and before a weekend at Comic-Con for Ben and a couple of weeks of filming for Jennifer Garner, it seems the couple had taken their children and found a hiding spot to quietly work out the details of their divorce.

    Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck were seen in a series of pictures sitting somberly, and sometimes quite awkwardly, on some steps outside of their property in the Bahamas as they seemed to take a moment without the kids looking on to discuss important issues.

    Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck used to be very affectionate, and it’s sad to see them sitting there in pain and not touching at all.

    The announcement by the couple read, “After much thought and careful consideration, we have made the difficult decision to divorce. We go forward with love and friendship for one another and a commitment to co-parenting our children whose privacy we ask to be respected during this difficult time. This will be our only comment on this private, family matter. Thank you for understanding.”

    Now, as the couple has been spotted out and about since then, Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck have both been photographed wearing their wedding rings.

    While the reasons for their divorce are not known yet, the speculation continues to run wild. And, unfortunately, they seem to center around Ben.

    Many say that Jennifer Garner couldn’t take any more of Ben’s drinking and gambling issues. Still others say that Ben has been cheating.

    However a source said of Ben early on, “He’s devastated. Nobody intends to go down this path. They both battled, and he really battled to try and save the marriage but ultimately it was the best thing for the kids and for him and Jen.”

    What do you think? Could the sightings of Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck still wearing their rings be a sign of hope for their marriage?

  • Ginnifer Goodwin Among Those Who Debuted New Looks At Comic-Con

    Ginnifer Goodwin made waves at Comic-Con over the weekend when she appeared with a grey/lavender hue instead of the usual dark brown on her pixie cut.

    Ginnifer Goodwin was on hand to promote her popular ABC show, Once Upon a Time.

    During the panel on the show, someone just had to ask Ginnifer Goodwin if the hair color would transfer to Snow White.

    Ginnifer Goodwin replied, “No, [the color is just for me], in real life. Mary Margaret will still be brunette!”

    Goodwin told Us Weekly, “I was copying my makeup artist. I was like, ‘It’s beautiful, I want that!’ I’ve always loved gray, but I guess the key is lilac.”

    However, it wasn’t easy for Ginnifer Goodwin to accomplish that perfect hue.

    She said, “It took eight hours of bleaching—eight hours! I got a headache—it was a whole big thing—but it was worth it.”

    It was probably worth it for the other stars who showed up at Comic-Con with a new look, as well.

    Lily James also debuted a new shorter, darker look with her hair while she was promoting her film Pride and Prejudice and Zombies.

    Such an amazing show of different looks this year!

    What did you think of Ginnifer Goodwin’s new purplish-grey hair color? Do you think she should stick with it or go back to brunette?

  • Melissa Benoist On “Supergirl”: She Is All About Hope, Positivity

    Melissa Benoist was among the throng over the weekend at Comic-Con to promote her new CBS show, Supergirl.

    During an interview, Melissa Benoist revealed just how excted she was to bring Supergirl to life.

    She said, “It’s just high time. She speaks for hope and bravery and positivity and kindness, and shows that you can be strong without hurting people and without aggression and force. And I just think the message is so clear and pure.”

    She added, “It’s time for something like that. Some clarity and some positivity.”

    It was also fun to hear about the first time Melissa Benoist tried on the suit.

    Just hangin' out with some heroes

    Melissa Benoist said, “That’s a pretty indescribable feeling. It’s hard to articulate, but it really feels like this, internal transformation, you know?”

    She added, “I didn’t expect it, ’cause you’re just putting on tights, you’re putting on a leotard and a cape and whatever. But there’s something that really changes its strength.”

    And now we all want to try on that suit.

    Melissa Benoist also made a surprising, but low-key, admission at Comic-Con.

    On the train to San Diego to see everyone at #sdcc2015 #Supergirl @supergirlofficial @comiccon2015

    Melissa Benoist was wearing a delicate silver band on her ring finger while promoting Supergirl at Comic-Con, where she told several people that her wedding day had already happened. Sources say her wedding was back in late March.

    Blake Jenner has been spotted wearing a ring on the special finger since April, so that would make sense!

    What an exciting time for Melissa Benoist! Are you looking forward to seeing the Glee alum as Supergirl?

  • Tamra Barney Judge: Cameras Should Have “Shut Down” When Vicki Gunvalson Found Out Her Mom Died

    Tamra Barney Judge has had her moments, good and bad, with Real Housewives of Orange County co-star Vicki Gunvalson.

    However, Tamra Barney was quick to try and protect Gunvalson when she received the fateful phone call that her otherwise healthy mother had passed away suddenly.

    In the heartbreaking incident, cameras caught every second of Gunvalson’s emotional reaction when she found out from her daughter that her mother was gone.

    Tamra Barney Judge didn’t think it was appropriate.

    She said, “At the moment it happened, I thought the cameras should shut down, because it was too sensitive. Vicki was in a state of mind where she didn’t even acknowledge the cameras. Now she has to relive it. She told me her family could not watch it.”

    Thank you @juliusmichael1 for the fun edgy hair and Priscilla @mspriscillanyc the makeup on @bravowwhl

    A photo posted by Tamra Judge (@tamrajudge) on

    Now that Tamra Barney Judge and Vicki Gunvalson have had time to recover, they feel better about that moment being shared with the world on RHOC.

    Tamra Barney said, “Vicki said that her life has been on camera for 10 years, and ‘this is something that happened to me, and I’m okay sharing it.’ If she’s okay with it, I guess I’m okay with it.”

    How precious is Ava. She melts my heart .

    A photo posted by Tamra Judge (@tamrajudge) on

    Vicki Gunvalson took to her blog to add some sage advice that all should take to heart.

    She said, “It’s been five months since my mom died and there isn’t a day that goes by where I don’t want to pick up the phone to ask her a question or tell her I love her. I miss her so much, but know one day I will be with her in Heaven and at peace. I want to stress the importance of not putting off talking to or spending time with the ones you love. You never know when they will be taken from you.”

    What do you think? Do you agree with Tamra Barney Judge’s initial reaction?

  • Amanda Seyfried Was Paid 10% Of Male Counterpart For Movie, Adds Voice To Hollywood Feminist Movement

    Amanda Seyfried has added her story to the instances of gender discrimination that seem to be piling up in Hollywood.

    For one movie, though she didn’t say which one, Amanda Seyfried was seriously shorted in pay compared to her male counterpart.

    Amanda Seyfried said, “A few years ago, on one of my big-budget films, I found I was being paid 10 percent of what my male co-star was getting, and we were pretty even in status.”

    She added, “I think people think because I’m easygoing and game to do things, I’ll just take as little as they offer. But it’s not about how much you get, it’s about how fair it is.”

    Of course Amanda Seyfried is only the latest to join a vast feminist and gender-equality movement going on in Hollywood right now, and there are plenty of stories to go around.

    Thanks @chefvikkik for being the Gollum to my Samantha #TED2

    A photo posted by Amanda Seyfried (@mingey) on

    For instance, in one of the most humiliating tales so far, Tracee Ellis Ross told of one particularly nasty audition.

    She said, “I tested once for a network show to play a lawyer. A Harvard-educated motherf—in’ lawyer, OK? I wore a skirt suit and heels. Seemed appropriate. Then there were many discussions about my hair. They’d printed up all these pictures of me from 15 f—in’ years ago and had me in and out of the bathroom trying on clothes.”

    She continued, “They finally pick a skirt — the shortest I brought. Then got a T-shirt from one of the people in the office. The woman says, ‘Hmmm, your boobs.’ I was like, ‘I didn’t bring a bra for this T-shirt.’ She screams down the hall, ‘Who wears a 34B?’ I put on someone else’s bra, a size too small, and somehow auditioned.”

    She added, “I remember wondering, ‘What did I just allow myself to do?’ The other actress [who auditioned] was dressed like she was going to a club and got the role. It was one of those moments where you’re so confused and humiliated. But that’s part of the biz.”

    So crazy. Instances like this have provoked Amanda Seyfried and other stars to stand up and fight back.

    In an effort to push back, Charlize Theron recently re-negotiated her pay for The Huntsman when she realized she was being paid significantly less than her co-star, Chris Hemsworth.

    Amanda Seyfried said Theron’s actions, while brave, are risky.

    She said, “You have to decide if you’re willing to walk away from something, especially as a woman.”

    What do you think of Amanda Seyfried’s experience and the expanding feminist movement in Hollywood?

  • Kaitlyn Bristowe Chose Her Final Two And They May Kill Each Other Before It’s All Over

    Kaitlyn Bristowe has narrowed her future husband field down to two.

    However, these two might kill each other before either one can marry Kaitlyn Bristowe.

    While the family meetings with Kaitlyn Bristowe went well and both families seemed pleased with her, the friction between Nick and Shawn is almost unbearable. Yet, it’s what is driving this show right now, right?

    What girl doesn’t dream of two hot guys fighting over her? Kaitlyn Bristowe is certainly no exception.

    While it was fun to watch how the dates went down, it was the heated conversations between Nick and Shawn that really stole the show.

    Life decisions are never easy decisions. #thebachelorette

    During one such heated discussion, Shawn accused Nick of not even being on the show for Kaitlyn and called him and a**hole.

    Nick brought up, one of several times, Shawn’s Eskimo brothers story.

  • Farrah Abraham Says Daughter Is Insecure And She Values How Farrah Has “Done Her Look”

    Farrah Abraham revealed recently that her daughter, Sophia, 6, is feeling insecure after losing her teeth.

    In a highly-spread photo on Twitter, Farrah Abraham appears to have given her daughter $600 in cash and various other pricey-looking items in an effort at playing tooth fairy.

    However, it doesn’t seem to have been enough to buy Sophia some healthy self-image.

    Farrah Abraham said of her daughter, “My little Sophia, she’s been going through a hard time right now losing all of her teeth, and she’s not really so secure.”

    She added, “I think it’s really a struggle losing your teeth right now when everyone’s looking at looks. So, she lost her first big tooth, and she’s just like, ‘Mommy, I want teeth like yours!’ and I’ve had my teeth cosmetically done, so they’re looking pretty perfect.”

    This is painful, right? Well, it seems Farrah Abraham‘s path of finding (still looking for) self-worth could possibly become her daughter’s.

    Recently, Farrah Abraham stated that if her daughter wants to get plastic surgery, just like Mama, she would be fine with it.

    Farrah Abraham said, “You’ll see that my daughter does value how I’ve done my look and invested in myself, and I feel like if [plastic surgery is] not harming her and making her look better, and keeping her healthy into her older years, I have no issues with that.”

    Farrah Abraham then added that she was going to help her daughter feel good about herself, no matter what she looks like on the outside.

    Just kidding.

    Farrah Abraham actually said, “I’m going to be supportive [of plastic surgery] because it hurts me to see my daughter worrying about her looks, even while she’s losing her teeth right now, so that’s sad.”

    What do you think about Farrah Abraham’s statements on her daughter’s looks and her $600 tooth fairy gift?

  • Jennifer Garner Continues To Wear Wedding Ring As She And Ben Quietly Divide Their Household

    Jennifer Garner seems reluctant to take off her wedding ring, perhaps one of the last, most definite signs that a marriage is over.

    Over the weekend, while Ben Affleck was at Comic-Con in San Diego, Jennifer Garner was photographed around Atlanta. She is there filming a new faith-based film, Miracles From Heaven.

    In each photograph, Jennifer Garner is still sporting her wedding ring.

    Ben Affleck was also sporting his ring on Thursday while spending the day with his kids in Atlanta. He wore it on Saturday, as well, during an appearance at Comic-Con to promote Batman Vs. Superman.

    Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck announced their split on June 30th, just one day after their 10th wedding anniversary.

    A statement from the couple read, “After much thought and careful consideration, we have made the difficult decision to divorce. We go forward with love and friendship for one another and a commitment to co-parenting our children whose privacy we ask to be respected during this difficult time.”

    It continued, “This will be our only comment on this private, family matter. Thank you for understanding.”

    While that was to be Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck’s only statement on the matter, speculation has run rampant as to what caused them to split up.

    Thanks to my friend Bismack Biyombo for joining @EasternCongo advisory board. Hope you're enjoying the #Congo.

    Some say Jennifer Garner couldn’t take anymore of his drinking and gambling issues. There have also been several rumors of infidelity on the part of Ben Affleck.

    Either way, it tends to point blame on his side.

    A friend of Jennifer Garner said, “She loved Ben, but there comes a time when you have to say enough is enough and take care of yourself.”

    What do you think about Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck continuing to wear their rings? Is it a sign of hope for their marriage?

  • Kaia Gerber Lands Yet Another Big Modeling Gig, Shares It With Her Brother

    Kaia Gerber is a quickly rising star in the world of modeling, and rightly so.

    With her mother being Cindy Crawford, Kaia Gerber was born from one of the best gene pools out there.

    And, as shown in her latest modeling gig, Kaia Gerber’s brother, Presley, was just as lucky.

    In the new shoot for CR Fashion Book 7, Kaia Gerber poses alongside her brother and another male model in Versace. Her ensemble included a sweatshirt, skirt, and super-long leather boots with dangerous-looking gold heels.

    Kaia Gerber’s brother was casual in a vest and sport coat holding two vintage cameras.

    Presley is known to have quite the hobby in photographing Kaia Gerber.

    In another shot, Kaia Gerber is decked out in an interesting cotton candy-hued top with jewels. She has dramatic eye makeup and stars along the corner of one eye.

  • Wonder Woman Costume Revives Eternal Sexism Debate

    Wonder Woman Costume Revives Eternal Sexism Debate

    Wonder Woman is a highly-anticipated feature in the new Batman Vs. Superman, and for good reason.

    The new Wonder Woman is played by lovely Isreali actress Gal Gadot, and if the trailer speaks to her appearance in the movie, she is sure to impress.

    Over the weekend at Comic-con, Gal Gadot described the moment she came face-to-face with the new Wonder Woman suit.

    She said, “Three days after I got cast for the movie, they flew me to Michigan, and I got into this huge room filled with images of me as Wonder Woman.”

    She added, “We got into another room and I saw the costume for the first time. And we had a fitting, and it was an out-of-body experience — there I was, little Gal from Israel becoming Wonder Woman. I think it really represents the Wonder Woman of today, I’m very grateful to be the one who is going to bring her to life.”

    A photo posted by Gal Gadot (@gal_gadot) on

    What an amazing story! However, it is that very costume, as well as the various depictions of Wonder Woman through out comic history, that has re-stirred the debate about the over-sexualization of Wonder Woman.

    Specifically, those high-heel boots.

    Some think that perhaps the boots, since they’re not practical at all for fighting crime, are simply part of the man-geared sexual image of Wonder Woman.

    What do you think about the boots? Symbol of oppression or are the boots lodged too deeply in super hero culture at this point to be replaced?

  • Lena Headey To Join “Danger Mouse” Voice Cast

    Lena Headey, along with John Oliver, has added her name to the list of voice actors who will bring popular BBC cartoon, Danger Mouse, back to life.

    BBC kids’ channel, CBBC, revealed the news about Lena Headey at Comic-Con over the weekend.

    Lena Headey will lend her voice to the character Jeopardy Mouse, an American agent.

    Lena Headey said of the new role, “I wanted to do [Danger Mouse] because it was pure nostalgia for me. I have children now, and it’s just a treat to be involved in something that you loved as a kid and be able to share it. Those moments as an actor that come a long once in while are not to be missed.”

    Yep, Lena Headey can now say “children”.

    While Lena Headey has yet to reveal the identity of the father of her second child, she definitely doesn’t need anyone’s help getting her daughter’s back.

    In May, Lena Headey wrote a post for Plan USA in which she outlined her hopes for her daughter.

    Lena Headey wrote, in part, “My daughter will have freedom of choice. She will be free to dance, to sing, to be educated in the fields that spark her passion, to marry if she wants, to marry WHO she wants, to remain single, or to fall in love with another woman.”

    She added, “She’ll be able to wear what she wants, put on lipstick, and read books that spark debate and expand her mind.”

    What do you think of Lena Headey’s new voice role?

  • Gwendoline Christie Loves Both Of Her Powerful Female Roles

    Gwendoline Christie Loves Both Of Her Powerful Female Roles

    Gwendoline Christie is not lacking for work in Hollywood these days.

    Best known as Brienne of Tarth on the incredibly popular show, Game of Thrones, Gwendoline Christie is no stranger to a powerful female influence in the roles she takes.

    Gwendoline Christie outlined just how much she loves her role at Comic-Con during the Game of Thrones panel.

    Gwendoline Christie applauded, basically, the fact that her TV relationship with Jaime Lannister is so deep and complicated and at the same time, not at all based on sex.

    She said, “In a mainstream TV show, we got to see this very unique, very unconventional woman enduring abuse from a man, and then the power lay in the fact that that got turned on its head, to develop a grudging respect for each other that’s intense and close and doesn’t have its roots in sexuality.”

    Thank you @LorraineELLE and @BazaarUK for taking me to BFA's! And I loved my @gilesgilesgiles snake dress!!!!! xxx

    She added, “And I was thrilled to see that at last, and I thought it was a very powerful, modern representation of women.”

    It is pretty rare, if you think about it.

    Gwendoline Christie was also very complimentary of J.J. Abrams and Lawrence Kasden for not making her ground-breaking female storm trooper role in the upcoming Star Wars installation super sexy.

    Although there are some nerds that might find that idea sexy enough.

    She said, “I found it exciting that there was a female storm trooper, but it was also this opportunity to explore a female character that’s totally not about the way she looks.”

    She added, “I just thought it was exciting that underneath that armor was a woman.”

    Are you excited to see just what Gwendoline Christie will bring to Star Wars: The Force Awakens?

  • Darlie Routier On Death Row Awaiting Appeal Of Conviction For Gruesome Murder Of Her Young Sons

    Darlie Routier, also called the Dallas Susan Smith because of the similarities in the two crimes, is on death row and is waiting for an appeal in the case of the bloody murder of her two oldest sons.

    Darlie Routier is back in the news now that CNN is featuring her case in their series, Death Row Stories.

    Since her arrest in 1996, Darlie Routier has maintained that she is innocent and that a home intruder is to blame for her sons’ deaths.

    On June 6th, 1996, Darlie Routier said she fell asleep in front of the TV with her two oldest sons, Devon, 6, and Damon, 5, while her husband, Darin, and their infant son, Drake, slept upstairs.

    Darlie Routier then said that an intruder broke in, sliced her arms and throat, and viciously stabbed her two young sons to death.

    A necklace saved Darlie Routier’s life, as it stopped the knife only 2 millimeters away from her carotid artery. However, it was embedded so deep in her neck that it had to be surgically removed.

    Shortly after the murders, police began to suspect Darlie Routier of committing the murders herself after inconsistencies in her story surfaced.

    Add to that, Toby Shook, the assistant district attorney at the time, told CNN, “It was a bloodbath. And when a crime like that happens, it’s someone in the house that did this.”

    While there were a few things that made prosecutors question Darlie Routier’s story, including an incident just eight days after the murder wherein Routier was recorded singing “Happy Birthday” and shooting Silly String at her sons’ gravesite.

    A jury quickly found Darlie Routier guilty and sentenced her to death.

    However, an appeal is being built by attorney Stephen Cooper, and some of the things he has discovered in his research suggest that not only was Darlie Routier possibly not the killer of her sons, but that her husband is much more likely.

    For one thing, the court reporter at Darlie Routier’s trial made a whopping 30,000 mistakes in the transcript, 40-50 percent of them substantial.

    Add to that, Darlie Routier had two hours of memorial videos on the recording before the short clip of the Silly String incident, which was the part shown in court, and Cooper doubts that Darlie could have inflicted the gruesome wounds she suffered on herself.

    Also, he discovered that Darin Routier, the husband, previously admitted to one insurance scam as well as a plot for a staged home robbery so he could collect an insurance claim.

    Darin Routier would have collected $250,000 in the event of Darlie Routier’s death.

    Such an interesting case. Will you be tuning in on Sunday to watch how the story of Darlie Routier unfolds?

  • Chelsea Clinton Shares “Chelsea’s Mom” Parody

    Chelsea Clinton is, of course, 100 percent behind her mother, Hillary, as her campaign for president rides the political waves.

    While Chelsea Clinton has posted many supportive things to her social media accounts for her mother, none are quite as funny as her parody video post.

    The video Chelsea Clinton posted last month has gained quite a bit of attention.

    Following in the tradition of acts like “Obama Girl”, YouTube string sensation Well-Strung put their love and support for Hillary Clinton into words. And video.

    The results are hilarious.

    In the tweet, Chelsea Clinton gushes, “I couldn’t agree more! Thank you @wellstrungNYC for supporting my mom.”

    While Chelsea Clinton supports her aspiring mom, her dad continues to battle tabloids.

    This time, it’s the National Enquirer “reporting” that Bill may not be Chlesea Clinton’s biological father.

    From the soccer field to the White House—girls can do anything.

    In the story, the magazine claims that obtained “touch DNA” samples from both Chelsea and Webb Hubbell through such sneaky means as a clean book signed with a brand new Sharpie.

    Sounds legit.

    They also claim that the results were sent to a lab and results were “inconclusive.”

    Bill’s former aide, Larry Nichols, allegedly told The Enquirer, “It’s time for Hillary and Bill to reveal the dirty truth once and for all. They can’t question DNA!”

    Nichols also supposedly heard it right from the horse’s mouth.

    He said, “His exact words were: ‘I shoot blanks.’ I asked him, ‘Then what about Chelsea?’ And Bill said, ‘Oh, Webb sired her.’”

    Webb was apparently Hillary’s colleague at the Rose Law Firm.

    Sounds ridiculous, I know. But, sometimes truth is stranger than fiction, I suppose.

    What do you think about the decades of drama surrounding Chelsea Clinton’s famous parents?

  • Laura Ingraham Says Ariana Grande Is “Spoiled, Entitled Pop Princess”, Says Her Music Is “Inconsequential”

    Laura Ingraham lost her mind on Thursday’s episode of Fox & Friends.

    The incident that sent Laura Ingraham over the edge was the now-infamous Ariana Grande donut licking tape.

    In the video, Ariana Grande is recorded licking and spitting on donuts that are for sale and then saying, “That’s f—king disgusting. I hate Americans. I hate America.”

    Laura Ingraham didn’t take kindly to the insinuations about our country.

    Laura Ingraham stated, “Another spoiled, entitled pop princess who’s benefited so lucratively from being in this country, from being an American.”

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vw7-12w_m0Y

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PFXCPuvajzk

    She continued, “And yet when she doesn’t think anyone’s listening, she hates America. They’re all fat. They’re stupid. They don’t eat organic. They eat stuff like ramen noodles and mac and cheese.”

    Hmmm. Now I’m hungry.

    Laura Ingraham wasn’t through with Ariana Grande, however. She had plenty more mud to throw.

    Like this gem, in which Laura Ingraham said, “The last time I checked, those poor people who like to buy donuts also bought a lot of your stupid music. So maybe you should return that money to people who like jelly donuts, who also like Ariana Grande estupido…estupida!”

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ozi48pKJ444

    Ariana Grande did eventually apologize, saying, “I am EXTREMELY proud to be an American and I’ve always made it clear that I love my country.”

    She added, “As an advocate for healthy eating, food is very important to me and I sometimes get upset by how freely we as Americans eat and consume things without giving any thought to the consequences that it has on our health and society as a whole.”

    Ah, to be young and have time to be concerned with what other people eat.

    What do you think? Do you agree with Laura Ingraham’s statements about Ariana Grande?

  • Emma Stone: Scene In “Irrational Man” Made Her Mother Laugh And It’s Not The One You’d Think

    Emma Stone has once again taken up with Woody Allen for his latest film, Irrational Man.

    The film follows a philosophy professor, played by Joaquin Phoenix, as he deals with a midlife existential crisis and a relationship with a student, played by Emma Stone.

    Emma Stone said that while this is her second film with Woody Allen, her first being Magic in the Moonlight, she would call herself a “muse” or a “student” of his.

    Emma Stone also revealed that while her character in the film is pretty good at following her instincts, she is not that great at it.

    E!’s Maria Menounos asked during the interview, “Do you listen to your instincts as much as you wish you did?”

    Emma Stone aptly replied, “No, never as much as I wish I did. It was better when I was younger, too, when there was less complication in life, it’s easier to just kind of do…it’s like a toddler. ‘That’s mine! I want that!’ But it’s harder to do that as you, you know, have more life to balance…That’s the great thing as an actor: that’s like your entire job, to listen to your instincts—at least when you’re playing a character.”

    That bit about having life to balance as you get older…truer words were never spoken.

    Emma Stone also revealed that there was a scene in which her mother couldn’t help laughing. And while one might assume it to be an awkward love scene with Joaquin Phoenix, it was not.

    Emma Stone said, “I brought my mom to watch the movie and she burst out laughing through the whole scene. She was just hysterically laughing. She was like, ‘You play the piano? Yeah, right! What are you doing? How does anyone believe you?’”

    Interesting. Will you be seeing Irrational Man with the interesting combination of Emma Stone and Joaquin Phoenix?
