Kim Kardashian’s Leaving Her Family Behind -- What Does This Mean for Her Future?

The times they are a-changing! If you had told me in 2010 that in 2013 Kim Kardashian would be the blonde mother of Kanye West's baby and that she occasionally posed for high fashion magazines covered in jam, I would have hospitalized you for insanity. Then I would have stolen your time machine. HA! (In this scenario, I am, apparently, quite devious.)

But that's how things shook out! Every move Kim's made over the past 18 months looks like an effort to separate from the family that helped make her career. What she's done now only makes her intentions even clearer.

Kim's fired her publicist and signed with someone else. It doesn't sound like there was any falling out with her former long-time rep, Jill Fritzo. The only real reason for the shift seems to be Kim angling to get away from her family, who are currently still handled by Fritzo.

If Kim's doing all this on her own, that's one thing. But if the pressure to break ties with her famous family is coming from Kanye, that's less cool. Kanye's wanted to make over Kim since they began dating. Remember how he trashed her wardrobe and eventually all but refused to continue being featured on Keeping Up With the Kardashians? It's almost like he's embarrassed of Kim. Helping your lady out professionally is all well and good, but trying to make her into someone she's not is a giant red flag.

Do you think Kim is bowing to pressure from Kanye?

Dad Arrested for Leaving 3-Month-Old Baby in Hot Car to Die Has the Most Appalling Excuse

Every year, we hear terrible stories of parents who accidentally left their babies in hot cars to die. Normally, we have some degree of sympathy for the overworked, "mom-brained" parents who are devastated to have forgotten their kid in the car and left him or her to slowly roast to death. I think that we've all had those stressed out moments when a sleeping babe in the backseat has just left our minds for a moment and we suddenly realize, OMG, that could have happened to me! But this case is different. Daniel Bryant Gray, while no doubt equally as devastated at his 3-month-old son Jamison Gray's death after being left in a hot car, has been arrested on manslaughter and child abuse charges. Because he hadn't just mistakenly left his kid after a busy day. He was reportedly off smoking marijuana with a friend while his baby died.

Gray was allegedly smoking pot with a friend when he "lost track of time" while his baby was locked in a hot car in the parking lot of a pub in Scottsdale, Arizona. Reportedly, the baby was in the car for an hour -- which doesn't seem like that long, but way too long to have any child that young anywhere by itself unless it's sleeping in its bedroom with a monitor nearby. Let alone in a car outside of a bar.

It was 102 degrees in Scottsdale that day.

When Gray came out of the bar (no word on where he toked up), he found his son unresponsive and called 911. Police officers on the scene could not revive the baby.

Initially, Gray reportedly told investigators that he had stopped by the bar on "business" and got distracted -- but they later came to believe he was smoking with his friend.

One hour may not seem that long, but in that temp, it certainly is. In fact, it can only take 15 minutes for a child to die inside a hot car.

There's just really no excuse here. Not only to leave a baby for that long, when certainly the heat outside must have made itself excruciatingly apparent, but to be off smoking dope instead of watching your kid. Say what you like about pot, there's a reason it's an illegal drug. It alters your mind. It can impair your judgment. And, yes, that can lead to tragedies like this. 

Do you think the dad should have been charged with manslaughter?

A bus full of teenagers and their parents crashed near Interstate 465 in Indiana yesterday, and tragically, three people were killed and 26 others were sent to the hospital. Fire officials say there were a total of 40 passengers on the bus.

The group was returning from a church camp in Michigan when the accident occurred, and the bus was only a mile from arriving at its destination, Colonial Hills Baptist Church, when it hit a retaining wall and flipped over as it tried to come around a curve.

The driver of the bus reportedly told witnesses that his brakes had failed, though the cause of the crash has not yet been determined.

Amazingly, before first responders arrived on the scene, good Samaritans stopped their cars and rushed over to help get people out of the bus. When the fire department did arrive, they had to free five people who were trapped inside.

Take a look at this video to hear more about what happened and to see footage of the wreckage.

We can only imagine what a frightening scene that must have been for the motorists who witnessed the crash, and those poor kids and all of the passengers on the bus must have been terrified. And it's so horrible that they were so close to arriving safely back at their church when tragedy struck. My heart and prayers go out to everyone involved, especially the loved ones of the three people who lost their lives.

What do you think caused this crash?
