When I was 18, I once read an article wherein Gwyneth Paltrow said that unless you could feel your liver from the outside, you weren't healthy. I'm waaaay older than 18 now, so suffice to say that she's been a health nut for a very, very long, organ-poking time. I mean, the woman became convinced that dairy and gluten were poisoning her family and tried cutting it all out of their diets. Suffice to say, she's been pretty vocal about the importance of treating your body like a pristine temple.

That's what made her appearance on Chelsea Lately so surprising. Gwyneth was all about discussing her vices with Chelsea Handler. She mentioned how she still can't quite manage to give up smoking. As if that weren't "scandalous" enough, the woman admitted to a penchant for Chik-Fil-A. GASP. Fast food! Somebody roll in my swooning couch, 'cause I feel a faint coming on.

Doesn't it seem like she shares these tidbits just to make herself appear more likeable? Like I've said before, it's almost always worked on me. She can recommend a "yummy" chia seed pudding, because she also talks about pigging out on cheese sometimes. Sure, okay, I buy it!

But just how many of these saucy disclosures are we supposed to put up with before GP goes from believable average girl to total hypocrite? Either admit you are a normal person who tries to be healthy sometimes, or drop the act and admit you eat only twigs and the memories of acorn caps. I guess it's slightly reassuring that as punishment for her transgressions, she's forced to listen to Coldplay and pretend she doesn't want to set her ears on fire.

Do you think Gwyneth's for real or a hypocrite?

Katy Perry Admits Something Super Gross That Proves She and Robert Pattinson Aren't Dating

Relief.In an effort to clear up any rumors that she and Robert Pattinson have a "thing" going on, Katy Perry confessed that she farts in front of Rob. Yep. The "Teenage Dream" singer apparently holds nothing back in front of her buddy ol' pal, including bodily functions, which should prove to everyone once and for all that there's nothing romantic between the two whatsoever.

Because if there's one thing Katy Perry doesn't do, it's fart in front of her love interests.

Perry said in an interview with Elle UK: "Okay, so here's the proof there was never anything going on with me and Robert Pattinson. I fart in front of him. Properly fart. And I never, ever fart in front of a man I am dating." She then added: "He's my bud, I'm like his big sister ... we just hang out."

More From Our Partners: Katy Perry Texted Kristen Stewart Regarding Robert Pattinson

I actually don't think there is, or ever was, anything romantic going on between Rob and Katy, as she and Kristen are reportedly friends, and that would be a really jank thing for her to do. But I also think "He's my bud, I'm like his big sister" would have sufficed in Katy's zeal to prove her point. No need to conjure up an image of Rob putting his hand over his nose and frantically fanning the air, after her reeking up the joint.

However, another interesting comment Katy made in the interview was how she's "proud" of the fact that she hasn't slept with Rob. She said: "The other day, I said, 'One of the things I'm most proud of is not sleeping with you, Robert.' And that's true." Now, like I said, I do believe that Katy and Rob are just friends, but it is a little strange that Katy is chalking this up as an accomplishment on her behalf. It really doesn't take much to not sleep with someone if you feel nothing for them whatsoever. So maybe, deep down, Katy does have a little something for Rob, despite their just being friends.

But then again, she admitted that she farts in front of him, so I don't know. Katy. Rob. Sex. Farts. It's all one giant mystery. We can only hope that one day the scientists at NASA get a break from their busy schedules to help us figure this one out.

Do you think there's anything going on with Rob and Katy?

Father-to-Be's Crazy Police Chase to Hospital Proves He’s Not Mature Enough to Be a Dad

When it comes to having a baby, there's a lot you have to worry about. Whether or not you'll get to the hospital on time is one. And dad-to-be panicking is another. Add getting to the hospital and dad-to-be panicking together and it can be a recipe for disaster! One man found himself on the wrong end of the law while racing to the hospital to see the birth of his child. The hitch? Mom was already in an ambulance. But that didn't stop dad from careening down the highway like he was in a remake of Smokey and the Bandit. And you won't believe how much law it took to finally get new dad to pull over!

It all started when a cop noticed a man speeding and zigzagging across freeway lanes in San Diego. The officer flashed his lights and tried to pull the car over, but Smokey just kept smokin' down the highway, refusing to slow down.

So the officer called for backup. More cop cars showed up and tried to pull him over to no avail, so a police helicopter was added to the mix. Starting to sound like a scene from Goodfellas.

Finally, police got ahead of the speeding car and set up a spike strip along the highway. Not an easy thing to do since you've got to catch your man but not spike every other car traveling on the road.

But it worked and the guy's tires were blown out. Cops descended with guns drawn. When he got out of the car, he admitted he had seen the cops and decided to ignore them. But he had an interesting excuse for his reckless driving.

His wife was in an ambulance on the way to the hospital and he wanted to be on time for the birth! Police were able to check and make sure his story was true. He wasn't charged, but could be later.

Hey, I admire his dedication to seeing his baby born, but really, dude? You had to endanger not only everyone else on the highway, and the cops, but yourself too?

Here's a clue, Smokey: Your wife needs you now. So does your baby. They don't need you dead. They don't need you in jail for killing or injuring someone else. Not to mention you could have pulled over and explained the situation and probably got a police escort.

Now you're a dad. You have a little person depending on you being alive.

Slow the hell down, bro.

Did your husband drive like a maniac on the way to the hospital?

Kenya Moore’s Big Pay Raise Proves She’s the Smartest ‘Real Housewife’

donderdag 25 juli 2013

Good news Real Housewives of Atlanta fans! Kenya Moore will be back for the show's 6th season. Her first year as a "housewife" was such a hit, Bravo is planning to pay her $600,000. Needless to say, the former Miss USA is thrilled -- even if castmates-turned-quick-enemies Phaedra Parks and Porsha Stewart probably aren't. But if they are smart, they will learn a valuable lesson from Kendra's big payday. 

Kenya is a newbie to the franchise yet she is now making as much as New Jersey veteran Teresa Giudice. Nene Leakes and Kandi Buress are headed into their 6th season and they make $800,000 -- just 200K more. Phaedra and Porsha only make $50,000, according to a source. The only explanation is that Kenya is the supreme drama queen. That is a dubious honor Kenya is taking all the way to the bank!

She has figured out that being crazy is clearly the key to cashing in on this show. Just take a look at her track record. She had those wild eyes from the start. Sure, she was sweet enough the first couple of episodes, but then the littlest things would unhinge her. Remember that get-to-know-you lunch with Porsha, who made the mistake of asking about Kenya's love life. That made her enemy #1. Then there was the booty workout video feud with Phaedra. It lead to Kenya showing up at a charity event half-naked to prove a point no one actually understood. It was lunacy.

And what about her boyfriend Walter? The fact that he wouldn't propose almost sent her over the edge but turns out the relationship was faked for the cameras. Though, her most memorable moment had to be when, in the middle of an argument, she called herself "Gone with the wind fabulous" while twirling in circles. It was wacky, weird, and solidified her status as one nutty foe.

Do you think Kenya deserves a $600,000 salary?

New Poll Proves the Zimmerman Trial Has Split Our Nation in Two

dinsdag 23 juli 2013

If there was any doubt left in your mind about the effect the George Zimmerman trial has had on race relations in America, there won't be after you read this post.

A new poll released today by the Pew Research Center spells it out -- The George Zimmerman trial has deeply divided our nation along color lines. We all knew it was happening based on the number of protests, editorials, blog posts, analyses, Tweets, and Facebook posts on both sides of the issue. Still, it's chilling to see the actual percentages on reaction to the trial based on race.

Check this out:

-49% of whites say they are satisfied with the outcome of the Zimmerman trial, compared to just 5% of blacks.

-60% of whites believe the issue of race is getting more attention than it deserves, compared to 13% of blacks.

-Meanwhile, 78% of blacks say the Zimmerman trial raises important issues about race that need to be discussed, compared to just 28% of whites.

I don't know about you, but to me these findings are disturbing. We need to be pulling together as a nation, and I haven't felt more deeply divided since, well, since the presidential election. Man, that got ugly.

Moms on both sides of the issue are making their opinions known online, and discussions in the comments are getting heated.

Kristen Howerton, author of the blog Rage Against the Minivan, breaks down the topic of white privilege in this post. "The only aspect of white privilege that should invoke guilt," she writes, "is if you decide that because you don’t experience racism, that you don’t have to listen or care when other people do." Kristen teaches a graduate level course on diversity, so she knows what she's talking about. This post is worth a read.

On the Huffington Post, concert pianist Jade Simmons has an internal dialogue with her 5-year-old son in the wake of the verdict. "You will be tall and dashing, I can tell," she writes, "but I fear that on a rainy night dressed in a hoodie this will cause you some issues. So how do I shelter you from a fate sealed by ignorant misunderstanding and prejudiced overreaction?" As you can imagine, the comments section is filled with responses.

Meanwhile here on The Stir, conservative blogger Jenny Erickson fired back with a post called George Zimmerman is No Racist and Trayvon Martin is No Martyr. "The media’s capitulation of this story to promote its own agenda is inexcusable," she writes. "Not everything is about race. Sometimes it’s just a very sad story of a life ended too soon." As you can imagine, the commenters went wild.

And if you haven't seen our Moms Matter Google Hangout on race relations in the wake of the Zimmerman trial, I hope you'll check it out. I think it's one of our best.

I believe too many people are getting caught up in the details of  the Zimmerman trial-- Face it, it was an imperfect case. Zimmerman's trial just brought to the surface the fact that a majority of blacks feel discriminated against. Whether whites feel this discrimination is real or not is irrelevant. If a large portion of our population feels discriminated against, we must, as a nation, address it. We must deal with the problem and work to solve it. For me as a white woman, that starts by doing a whole lot of listening. I am listening carefully right now to how my black friends and colleagues feel about this trial. I am listening to their experiences of being a black person in America. No, I can't know firsthand what it's like to be black, but by listening, I can at least gain some understanding of what they've been through, and how they feel about it, and why. This is doubly important because I'm a mom, and my perception is inevitably what I teach my children. And so I will not dismiss the feelings and perceptions of those who feel discriminated against, and it makes me sad when I see others do so.

That's my take. What's yours?
