Transgender With Extreme “Kylie Balloon” Lips Spent $76K On Plastic Surgery [Video]

Wow!

A transgender woman has spent $76,000 on plastic surgery and won’t stop until she has reached ‘perfection’. Fulvia Pellegrino has had more than 150 lip and cheekbone fillers, four breast implants, and two rounds of liposuction – and has the full support of her WIFE. The 56-year-old, from Italy, has spent €12,000 on her bum and is planning even more surgery in her quest for the perfect face and body. Remarkably, Fulvia’s wife, Marisa, is standing by her husband, although the pair are now more like sisters than a married couple.

Teyonah Parris, Yara Shahidi And Netta Elzie Cover ESSENCE’s ‘Black Girl Magic’ Issue

ESSENCE is paying tribute to three black women with a special edition of their February Black History month issue.

Teyonah Parris, Black-ish star Yara Shahidi and Black Lives Matter activist Johnetta “Netta” Elzie are covering the mag’s Black Girl Magic issue.

ESSENCE reports:

In a very special Black History Month issue, ESSENCE celebrates those shaping our future by highlighting the #BlackGirlMagic Class of 2016, featuring covers of Chi-raq’s Teyonah Parris, black-ish’s Yara Shahidi and social activist Johnetta “Netta” Elzie.

“Netta,” who was one of the prominent faces of the #Ferguson uprising, is joined by other activists (such as Jessica Byrd and Bree Newsome) in the “On Our Radar” list.

Other groups of young women ESSENCE salutes are emerging stars (like Zendaya and Aja Naomi King), athletes (we love you, Simone Biles!), tech stars, fashion and beauty mavens, as well as women of the arts.

“Being a part of this reemergence of a movement both pro-diversity and pro-woman is the best part of being a Black girl,” says 16-year-old Shahidi.

Netta also spoke out on her journey as an activity in the social media age.

On the criticism of “social media activism:”

“Every time I hear people say it, being shady, I remind everyone, you met me or you know me because I was on the ground and on social media at the same time. It’s not hard to do both. If people want to do one or the other, that’s fine. It’s not a competition. That’s one of the pettiest things people can say. Not everyone can go be in the street. For example, when Martese Johnson was brutalized by the police at UVA, I was not going to Virginia. I was already protesting in another state. It would cost me a lot of time [to get to Virginia]. I, literally, was like, what is the number to the school? I took a picture of his bloody face, posted the number on Twitter and was like, ‘Call UVA and demand to know why this happened to him.’ We flooded the freaking phone lines for maybe two or three days until they had to have a response. They had to give an answer on what happened to him. That was a way for everyone to participate from wherever they were.”

Study: Diversity Training Makes White Men Feel Threatened

white man working
Diversity training is a term we heard quite a bit in 2015; however, a new article published by the Harvard Business Review suggests that these programs may be doing more harm than good. For starters, a study of over 700 companies in the United States found that implementing these training programs had little to no positive effects on female and minority representation. Even worse, they may even decrease representation of Black women. The study also found that these programs tend to make white men resentful of women and minorities. “We found evidence that it not only makes white men believe that women and minorities are being treated fairly—whether that’s true or not—it also makes them more likely to believe that they themselves are being treated unfairly,” authors of the report explained…

Kandi Burruss And Todd Tucker Reveal The Name Of Their Son

Kandi Burruss and Todd Tucker have named their baby son Ace Wells Tucker according to EOnline reports:

The Real Housewives of Atlanta star Kandi Burruss revealed the name of her newborn son exclusively to E! News Thursday, sharing the heartwarming inspiration behind the special title.

“We named our beautiful baby boy Ace because I wanted something unique,” she told E! News. “When he becomes school age, hopefully he won’t have to worry about another person in the class having his name.”

While the 39-year-old singer is already thinking about her son’s future days behind a school desk, she also has high expectations of her bundle of joy right from the start.

“More than that, Ace represents the number 1 and that of the highest quality and our baby Ace is definitely that!” the proud mom said. “His middle name Wells was Todd’s mother’s last name. Using her last name as his middle name was our way of honoring her memory.”

Whoopi Goldberg And Raven Symone On The View: ‘I’m An American! I’m Not An African-American’

Whoopi Goldberg Says She’s An American Not African American

Whoopi Goldberg and Raven Symone said somethings on The View that probably won’t shock anyone according to The Grio reports:

Well over a year after Raven-Symone received backlash for saying she is not African-American, her fellow The View co-host Whoopi Goldberg is now echoing what seem to be similar sentiments.

Tuesday, during a conversation about immigration, Joy Behar lightheartedly quipped that in light of Donald Trump’s bid for presidency, people may want to consider leaving America to seek refuge elsewhere.

No more African-American hosts on The View?
Goldberg instantly balked at the joke, declaring, “You know what uh uh! This is my country.”

“My mother, my grandmother, my great grand folks, we busted ass to be here,” she continued as the audience applauded. “I’m sorry. I’m an American. I’m not an African-American, I’m not a chick American, I’m an American.”

Not surprisingly, Raven-Symone excitedly chimed in, “I’m an American! I’ve been here too long to not just hold American.”

“Since the 1700’s my people have been here,” the Oscar winner pointed out. “So I’m an American alongside of the Native Americans. That’s the bottom line.”

When will Whoopi and Raven just GTFOH!!?

8-Year-Old Boy Takes Makeup Tutorial And Selfies Go Viral

Nowadays it seems we have multiple examples of men who are participating in activities traditionally enjoyed by women. Young Thug, Jaden Smith and Kanye West have all been scrutinized and criticized for their feminine fashions by way of “kilts”, dresses and girl’s blouses.

Well, apparently this Florida mother doesn’t believe in any of that because she’s down to let her son go full RuPaul!

A photo of an eight-year-old boy whose mother arranged to have a makeup tutorial because he wanted to learn the tricks of the trade has swept the internet.

Ethan Willwert, from Florida, US, would watch his Season, 35, putting on her makeup in the morning and begged to have a tutorial at MAC to try drag and theatre styles.

He was given a makeover by artist Joey Killmeyer who styled one half of Ethan’s face, so he could finish off the look by himself – and the young boy seemingly picked up the makeup skills quickly.

Killmeyer posted a selfie from his session with Ethan which went viral with more than 140,000 likes on Facebook.

“Thank you to THE BEST Doctor @peterashjian_md for helping me make this decision and for guiding me every step of the way!!!” she captioned the photo.

She also might have added a little diss Shad Moss’ way by adding that she’s removed everything “worthless & old” from her life.

“I literally got rid of everything that was worthless & old. Ready for MY NEW Life!” wrote Mena.

Third Time’s A Charm: Mexican Officials Claim They Have Captured Notorious Drug Kingpin El Chapo

Mexican Officials Claim They Have Captured Drug Kingpin El Chapo

Drug kingpin Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman has been captured, Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto announced Friday via Twitter according CNN reports:

Mexican Federal Police spokesman Jose Ramon Salinas confirmed Guzman’s capture to CNN.

Nicknamed “Shorty” for his height, Guzman has escaped twice from Mexican custody. The first was from a maximum-security prison in 2001 when he reportedly hid in a laundry cart.

The latest instance came when he broke out of another maximum-security prison through a mile-long underground tunnel in July.

He then traveled north about 140 kilometers (85 miles) to San Juan del Rio, where two small planes were awaiting his arrival and took off from an airstrip, Attorney General Arely Gomez has said.
Since then, he’d been rumored to be many places, including as far away as Argentina. In October, authorities revealed they were hot on Guzman’s trail, only to have him slip out of sight, though not before apparently breaking his leg.

Gomez said last fall that 34 people have been detained in connection with Guzman’s breakout last year, including the drug lord’s brother-in-law.

The Sinaloa cartel chief’s high profile and ability to elude authorities have been held up as an example of Mexico’s reputed ineptitude in dealing with powerful drug cartels.

El Chapo has been captured!!!!!! Or has he??

Gender Wage Gap Linked To Anxiety In Women

BlackWomanConferenceWorking
The gender wage gap causes people to lose out on millions of dollars each year, but according to a recent study, it may be the cause of mental and emotional damages as well. The study, which was published in the Social Science & Medicine journal, anxiety, and depression were more likely to be experienced by women who earned less than men for the doing the same work. The report is based on data collected from a 2001-2002 U.S. population-representative sample of over 20,000 working adults between ages 30 and 65, Elle reports. Researchers found that women who were paid less than men were 4 times more likely to develop an anxiety disorder and were 2.5 times more likely to be diagnosed with depression. “Our results show that some of the gender disparities in depression and anxiety may be due to the effects of structural gender inequality in the workforce and beyond,” said the study’s lead researcher Jonathan Platt in a press release.

According to a recent report, Ms. Johnson’s Amalgam Comics & Coffeehouse is the first Black woman-owned comic book store to open on the East Coast. Philly.com writes: Although Philadelphia has a rich tradition of quality comic-book shops – and could brag that Showcase Comics on South Street was the largest black-owned comic shop in the United States for quite some time – Amalgam Comics & Coffeehouse will be the first black female-owned comic book shop to open its doors on the East Coast. This “geeky” hybrid hopes to contribute to the burgeoning Kensington section of Philadelphia. Amalgam hopes to build community around comics, coffee, and relaxing with friends…

Black Girl Magic: Amandla Stenberg Gets Interviewed By Solange For Teen VOGUE & Say THIS About Kylie Jenner Cornrows…

A little Friday black girl magic…

Amandla Stenberg Covers Teen VOGUE

Actress Amandla Stenberg is Teen VOGUE’s latest cover girl and is sharing her Black Girl magic with the world.

The 17-year-old “Hunger Games” star who caused a stir when she blasted Kylie Jenner for rocking cornrows, sat down with her fellow “nonconforming black girl” Solange for her VOGUE shoot and dished on natural hair and her Niobe: She Is Life? comic book.

She also used her time with Teen VOGUE to come out as bisexual.

On her hair and that Kylie Jenner cornrow controversy:

SOLANGE: Does it feel like sometimes you’re just exhausted talking about it?

AMANDLA: Yo — yes! It’s so funny. I have many white friends who come up to me and they’re like, “Amandla, so this weekend I’m going to go out, and I was wondering if it’s OK if I could wear cornrows just on Saturday?” [Laughs] I’m tired of talking about who can have whichever style. Because I’ve said my thing.

SOLANGE: Yeah,you made it clear in your video. It was so articulate and perfectly put!

CA2.tif

AMANDLA: It was when I was 12 and I got cast in The Hunger Games, and people called me the N-word and said that the death of my character, Rue, would be less sad because I was black. That was the first moment I realized being black was such a crucial part of my identity in terms of the way that I was perceived and how it would affect any line of work that I wanted to pursue. I often find myself in situations where I am the token black person. It can feel like this enormous weight. I have definitely had moments when my hair felt too big or like I needed to make myself…SOLANGE: Smaller.

AMANDLA: Exactly. Smaller and easier to digest.

amandla-cover-06

On her comic book:

SOLANGE: So what’s the deal with your comic book, Niobe: She Is Life? It’s sitting right here. It looks incredible.

AMANDLA: Thank you! Growing up, I was always super into fantasy and The Lord of the Rings and Game of Thrones and all of that, but I could never find black characters whom I really liked. And so immediately I identified with Niobe, the lead character. She’s this rad black girl elf. It’s interesting because it is fantasy, but it’s also really kind of self-reflective. She’s finding her faith and finding her identity. And she’s going to keep growing until she becomes this warrior destined to unite the human world and the elf world. I think it’s officially the first comic book to be written by a black girl, starring a black girl [Niobe Ayutami], and illustrated by a black girl [Ashley A. Woods].

amandla-cover-03

On her #SquadGoals friends like Willow Smith:

AMANDLA: Oh, man. Well, Kiernan has been by my side since the beginning. Willow [Smith] is amazing. I feel like we were just meant to be friends. We were kind of vibing off each other from afar, and then she hit me up and was like, “Let’s hang out!” She has the most magnetic, radiant energy ever. Whenever we hang out we just laugh and we sing and we dance and we go hiking.

Solange has since given Amandla a shoutout on her Instagram.

There's a secret language between black girls destined to move mountains and cross rivers when the world sometimes tells you to belong to the valleys that surround you. You learn it very young, and it has no words, but you hear it and see it all around you. You sense it when you walk into rooms, your hair elevated with every exalted coil, your sway a little too swift, and your shoulders a little too proud. You feel it like a rhythm you can’t shake if you even dared to quiet the sounds around you. Amandla (@amandlastenberg) knows it all too well, "I think that when you’re a black girl and you grow up you internalize all these messages. Everywhere you look that tell you that you shouldn’t accept your hair, or your natural features, or that you shouldn’t have a voice, or that you aren’t smart. In terms of my evolution I think those internalized messages built up in my mind until I was given the tools to recognize the situation. And understand that no, there’s nothing wrong with me, these are just that these are just messages that we’re fed. I feel like the best way to deal with that has been just to be myself and connect with all these other black girls who are awakening and realizing that they’ve been trying to conform; and the only way to fight that is to be themselves on the most genuine level. " So here we are, connecting as non conforming black gals. Connecting as girls who recognize the borders that have been built around us, but tearing them down while coloring outside every line. Connecting as lovers of wearing the color sienna orange. Connecting as two chicks exhausted by talking about our hair, although we of course know, it's bad ass. Connecting as humans who are both trying to figure out the mathematics of composer Steve Reich's – "Violin Phase ". Connecting as two descendants of powerful Queens, who roamed the journey before us, and we hold the most high. I may not have felt prepared, but I sure as hell felt inspired, deeply moved by the honesty shared between us, and ready to take on the world sprinkling black girl magic in every crevice of the universe. -Solange Come soon ✨

Either The Westbrooks reality star India Love is really trying to follow Kim Kardashian’s footsteps or someone has it out for the 19-year-old.

India seemingly responded to the pictures by tweeting out her reaction to the shocking invasion of privacy.

Hopefully, whoever leaked her nudes will be brought to justice.

Ex-Baller Chad “Ochocinco” Johnson Spends Birthday With Ex-Girlfriend, Crystal Bates

Chad Johnson was seen cuddled up with Crystal Bates on instagram. The two share a baby girl who is less than one years old and reportedly had a terrible break-up last year. Chad left Crystal high and dry right after the birth of their baby Kennedy.

Crystal was left to take care of the girl and her 4 siblings in section 8 housing after Chad dumped her and stopped any financial support. A Bossip source told us last summer, “He did her dirty. Got her pregnant and sold her a dream. She wants to marry him and he won’t even let her and her 5 kids move into his house.”

8bfe8110-ebc2-48f8-9d87-105428ffe1c7

Now it looks like the two are rekindling something? Crystal declared her love for known womanizer in her caption under the photo. It’s unknown how Chad feels about her since she’s not anywhere on his page….

Good luck with moving in together if it does work out, since Chad’s home is in foreclosure.

Do you think these two should give love a try, again?
